Open letter to MTSOs. Please read.

You all have it reversed for VR. Those of us that do the VR editing should be paid the hourly wage, not the QA people! We take this abysmal voice that comes in, turn it into something that can be understood, and is perfectlly fine for the patient's chart, but then you want QA to get a hold of it, pay them $12-15 an hour to make is a pretty report, hey who's doing all the work here! I want to be paid $12 to 15 an hour to fill in the blanks, put in commas, periods ...

Most of us ICs are probably contractually prohibited from contacting our clients/dictators directly. Has anyone ever thought about sending an open letter to them through a newspaper that is in the same city as your account and really letting them know how the quality, or lack thereof, of their dictation affects your ability to transcribe a complete and accurate report for a patient's medical record in enough time that you can actually make a decent living doing this? I wonder if ...

What a disappointment this MDI/Transcend merger has been and what an eye-opener. It truly is all about corporate greed. Your ambition to be #1 so that you can be bigger than Medquist is an all-consuming obsession that has resulted in your making drastic changes that will surely affect your reputation for quality down the road. You are forcing high-paid MTs out of their positions to replace them with your overseas people and newbies who will work for less – but at what cos ...

Finally, after 2 days, I found the list of the new teams they created for communications and rewards. The Rewards team will have it easy as there are no rewards. All you need to know about winning a contest is to know who the names on the list of people they want to give a little extra to and you will have the winner. It is nothing about meeting the criteria for the current game being played, it is all about favorites.. As far as communications, that is a differen ...

The recent survey was nothing more than a slap in the face to all hard-working, dedicated MLS’ biding time until a real job with a respectful employer comes along. You want to know what would make Nuance better? Really, are you serious?? You demoralize, monitor, insult, and put your boot on the neck of every self-respecting MLS who puts their commitment and dedication to professional patient care ahead of all, despite the constant road blocks you throw in our path ...

http://www.leagle.com/unsecure/page.htm?shortname=infdco20100223c10 What kind of big wigs does MQ have running this company? Aww, DO NOT ASK! Have to read it all in its entirety! MUST READ LAST PARAGRAPH. Sounds like MQ is still misleading MT pay. Duh! UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. KEARNS UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. BRIAN KEARNS and BRUCE J. VAN FOSSEN, Defendants. Civil No. 09-3599 (JBS/KMW). United ...

Let me introduce myself. I am a full time MT with 25 years experience in this business, averaging typing 2000 lines per day, audit scores 98% and above, who willingly works OT when requested, and I have never taken a sick day. I consider my job a serious employment commitment. I am the bread-winner in my family. I don't say this to indicate I make the most money. This means I PAY THE BILLS. You know, mortgage, car payments, insurance, light bill, food on the ta ...

After more than 25 years in this business, I am getting the heck out! I don't mind working hard. I do very well on audits. I am reliable. I have made more than $40,000 a year until now, and did not even have to work 8 hours to do it. I have worked over-time when needed. I have loved doing this - until now. What this profession has turned into is a crying shame, competitiveness, greed, and pettiness. Are MT schools actually still taking p ...

that they will be sending my MTSO a premium rebate that can be distributed by either lower future premiums or with a cash rebate. The letter says we have to ask them how much they are getting for a rebate (good luck getting an answer to that question) and how they are going to be doing the distribution. Anybody else get a letter like this? Apparently, this is part of the ACA and is called the MLR (medical loss ratio).` ...

I am curious about something. I see the ads you all post here and then I see all the posts on the Job Wanted board. Why wouldn't you offer your positions to those MTs who take the time and initiative to post on the Job Wanted board? I just don't understand why you would want the daunting task of filtering through hundreds of replies which you surely get when you advertise when you have a page full of eager MTs? ...

http://www.executivehm.com/article/Transcription-in-the-21st-century/ This article (above link) has quotes from present COO of Wedmedx who is President of MTIA and used to be former Spheris boss. This article explains how the MTSOs want our lines counted. It explains how they want to take away all keystrokes that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Won't this effectively save the hospitals and MTSOs from paying MTs for up to 1/3 of the keystrokes w ...

A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks, appreciate the help ...

It is FINALLY working! ...

I have come on this site for awhile, mostly because this is a place where everyone gets what you do and can understand what you're going crazy over. Try telling your neighbor the ESLs are getting to you today and you get what I mean. However, since I have become an MME (in October), this has become a not so friendly place. I love doing QA work. I have been in this field for 20 years and feel I can and do help MTs out. When I make a correction, it's to give the MT some feedback, ...

IF we want to keep our current insurance plan is there anything we need to do for open enrollment? Thanks. ...

Anyone hear any rumblings yet about Open Enrollment? Last year at this time we were already sent emails to "get ready" for it...so far this year, nothing. I heard that other companies were making the spousal/partner "penalty" for not taking insurance was going to go up to $500! We are now paying $100/month...let's hope that won't be the case, as that would essentially be one of my paychecks. Wonder what surprises are in store for us. Maybe we won' ...

Does anyone know? MQ mail still not working for me so how do I send email to support and CCM to open ticket? ...

Patient actually opted for endoscopic intervention, and risks for complication, including, but not limited to, infection, bleeding, and ureteral injury requiring a s/l medial to delayed open repair, were discussed. It also sounds like there is an "or" sound at the end of medial. Thanks for any help. ...

Wondering why I can't open the file....I've tried in express scribe and media player and even looking for the codec online that I supposedly am missing and still no luck. Does anyone know if there is a way to contact them about this? ...

For health benefits? ...

I was on family UHC Choice and now being forced to MS HRA. My deductable went from 1500 to 6000!! Max out of pocket from 5000 to 20,000!! Instead of paying a $25/50/100 copay for my doctor/specialist/ER visits, its 30% after the outrageous deductable. But they cover routine physical 100% and they contribute $500...bah! Fuming. ...

I would like you to understand that I work because I have to, not because I want to. I was hired for a specific shift, yet there is no work on that shift. I have to flex sometimes up to 12 hours a day to get my required line quota or take a chance on not having benefits, please understand that I do have a life other than working for your company. My question I guess is why do you overhire? I know this is a 24/7 business but if you did not hire so many people then the work ...

I got an email about open enrollment for PT flex, PT limited and and FT limited. Well, what about FT regular? Why does everything have to be so long and drawn out and complicated with this company. I just want the darn information! ...

Just wondering if anybody has the information for accessing the open enrollment page. MQ email is having major issues with me this morning and I can't access any of emails right now. ...

Doctor is saying: "Blisters are still s/l open roofed." ...

This is part of the physical exam and I can't tell if she is saying "Head" as a topic or "Had" and then something that sounds like "entry or possibly adrenal continentals open?" I think she is referring to the eyes but can't figure out what she is saying. Any suggestions? Thanks! ...
