Overflow Clinic MT - Hmmmm
Posted: Sep 19, 2013
No idea who that ad on the Job Seekers board is from (Tracy in Lousiana, but no company name).
Am I the only one who wondered if the "overflow" 1 to 2 days a week is some atrocious dictator that the person running the ad doesn't want to have to endure?
I never thought of farming out the bad dictators when I had my own accounts. I just did the worst ones first and got them out of the way.
Anyway, not saying that's what the poster is doing but thought it *would* be an interesting way to farm out the bad dictators on one's own accounts.
at 6 cpl - on top of that...
[ In Reply To ..]so exploitive I am surprised she will even get any responses at all!!
I have seen posts on another board where people (sm) - ETOHPRN
[ In Reply To ..]I have seen posts on another board where some posters said they are so desperate for work they will work for 5 cents a line straight typing!
:-O
things that make you go hmmmm... - LittleOldMT
[ In Reply To ..]It makes you wonder though if sometimes they pay such a low cost per line because the account/dictator is super easy. I would MUCH RATHER transcribe a super easy dictator at 6 CPL then a nerve-racking ESL/mumbled mess/chewing/ummmm-every-other-word dictator that just stresses me out for 8 CPL. IMO :)

[ In Reply To ..]Didn't even get a chance to see the ad. Wasn't much whatever it was, at 6 cpl I am sure IC. Now it's gone, as quick as it must have gotten on there. I'm noticing a lot jobs are crossed off on the seeker's board just within a few hours. Wonder why this is?
because they are getting - many resume responses
[ In Reply To ..]and rather than leaving the position open to thousands of resumes, they only take a few to choose from, and discontinue the ad. Nothing subversive here.

[ In Reply To ..]I guess so. I think things are just getting worse, with more MTs looking for work.
Judging by the ad I don't think that's the case - But maybe
[ In Reply To ..]It looked like an MT just needing someone to help out on an as-needed basis. I could be wrong but I doubt she'd be farming out the cream of the crop, probably the ones she herself didn't care to do. I could be wrong but, in her shoes, I'd probably be shuffling off the ones I didn't like, too.

What Is Your Job Like When You Get Overflow? What About Errors?
Mar 08, 2011
I am a relatively new MT with a pretty good track record at my current job. I have been working there for about 6 months. Well, we just got a new acct, and my company was understaffed. I have been working myself to death. I should be able to do more, but I am a new MT, and I do not type very fast (about 55-60 wpm, slower when I am tired). They have a certain amt of mins of dication you are supposed to complete each day, and they have been giving me more than that. I have been completing what I c ...

I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed over and over - I'm just starting to research it a bit.

What Is The Best Way To Go After Your Own Little Clinic Account?
Nov 13, 2010
My company just lost a huge account. Since then I have not made much money at all. I am scraping to get by. After 10 years in the medical transcription field I am fed up. I have always worked on such great accounts for good money. Now, I cannot find something that is even average pay. I am going to be taking a medical coding course; however, I still need to provide for my three kids. I want to go out and solicit doctors and try to secure my own account, ...

Nuance Took Over My Clinic
Dec 10, 2012
I just found out today when I had no work with my smaller company that Nuance took over all the work starting today. I found out they knew about it 2 months ago and didn't tell us. I am waiting on the contact information from the original clinic manager at the doctor's office so hopefully we can go with our work. Has anyone else had this happen and if so how good are the chances of just going with Nuance. At this point I just need the work. Thank ...
Been Doing Clinic My Whole MT Career...
Jul 05, 2013
I've been doing clinic my whole six-year MT career. Now since there are not that many clinic transcription jobs anymore, I'd like to learn acute. But of course, all the acute ads say they want experience. I'm confident that I can pass some of the acute care job tests. Are some employers open to giving you an acute care job if you do well on the test, having no actual job experience in it? I went to a good school and am confident in my abilities. What has been your experience in th ...

Clinic Notes = No Money?
Apr 16, 2010
I lost my primary accounts recently and was switched to an account where most of the jobs are really short clinic-type notes (less than a minute). This pay period, my paycheck will be over $200 less than it was when I had my primary accounts, and I'm barely making my minimum line counts. I've been doing this job for a long time and have always had really good line counts before. I've been feely really down in the dumps like maybe I've just kind of lost ...

We keep the work caught up and this QA girl gets on there and types with us when there is nothing to type. I mean there can be 10 jobs there and she will get on to help us type 10 jobs.

Setting Up Clinic Account

He is unhappy with his current transcription service and wants me to do it again. He uses a digital recorder now and I am not sure how to set things up so I can do it online or through email. I would greatly appreciate any direction or advice in this area. ...
Question To Those Of You Who Do Clinic Notes...

Has anyone started to get more work in the last year (in a clinic setting)? It was steady for me a few years ago, and now I am overwhelmed with the amount of dictation I have!! Each of the doctors I work for are seeing wayyy too many patients in one day, thus more dictating, etc. Im putting in like 10-12 hour days now, whereas I used to only work 5 or 6. They are scheduling the patients all at the same time, making them wait in the waiting room for a couple hours, and ...

Punished For Emdat Clinic 360?

Do I understand correctly that we are basically "punished" for working on the Emdat platform via the "platform factor" of all lines x 0.95? When I work each day, I will have lines that I actually typed deducted simply because I work on the Emdat platform? I hope I am misunderstanding this. If this is the case, can someone please explain why this would be? I understand that some people have more difficult platforms, and they should be compensated accordingly, but why are they t ...

Clinic Work On Holidays? Seriously?

Over the past few days, along with my usual snot and threat-o-grams, I have been getting emails telling me that I have to work the holidays. I do NO hospital work--just clinic work and 99% of what those doctors do is elective stuff. Of course, there is no valid reason for this. The only "reason" my supervisor is sending out this hate mail is because she wants her bonus for meeting Nuance's totally unreasonable TAT. Unbelievable. Obscene. Can't wa ...
