Please respond to vacation coverage question?

I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do. But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists. Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such. But, d ...

I have had no work this entire week. The only day I got to work that I was scheduled was Sunday. Since then, NJA for my ENTIRE shift EVERY DAY!! I sent an email to my CCM stating that I cannot continue like this. I want to know why I am not getting any work and if it is because our accounts don't have any work, I want to be put on an account that DOES have work. I have emailed and emailed and called and called, and she doesn't respond (not that this is new, mind you ...

I agreed to do a STAT job that was only to be 90 min of dictation within a 24-hour period of time. When I first responded to do this job, I was told they found someone else to do it. I then recieved a phone stating that the original transcriptionist bailed on her and could I do it. However, not only did she want the 90 min dictation she wanted a 31 min multi-speaker consultation as well, STAT. The audio was sent in a format that was not compatible with a foot pedal. I did the 31 min job, ...

Hi, I'm considering filing intermittent FMLA for chronic photophobia. Periodically I cannot look at the monitor and thus cannot work because of it. I have 8 hours PTO left and if I am out of PTO, I need FMLA to cover me taking off without pay. I'm a good producer, show up and work my schedule, high quality, and handle 4 accounts on a weird evening/weekend shift (my choice of work times) so that I do not run out of work. Previous to this year, I was rarely OOW, but now eve ...

Okay, the physician is unintelligible. Says the patient is perfectly healthy, but he cannot understand why the patient is so slow to respond. Duh....Dr. even has the audicity to suggest a neruology consult to see why the patient answers questions so slowly. Like my brother'in-law was asked if he had "hot buns." for heartburn. Sigh. ...

Was just wondering if any of you submitted a response to their ad and heard back from them. Thanks! ...

I have been invited to test with Precyse. I was just wondering of any current Precyse MTs could tell me if Precyse is a good company to work for, i.e. pay on time, straight typing or speech rec, good platform, responsive management/TL, benefits any good, vacation time available, etc. I am currently working for a good company but the days/hours stink; so, don't want to jump into the fire so to speak. Thanks so much for your response ahead of time. ...

I have 2 questions that I wold really love some feedback on. It's not important how long I have been transcribing, the fact is that I have worked for some major MTSOs over the years and the llongest I have ever been on 100% QA is 3-4 weeks, more likely 1-2 weeks. Now that I am starting my second month with Nuance I have been placed on 3 separate aaccounts. The first 2 I was fine with, but then they sent me an emial stating that I would be switched over to a new go-live acc ...

Yes, I know we get lots of these questions every day but here's one I don't think has been touched on lately. I was recently approached by an old employer about giving my information to another MD for transcription work. I told her that she can definitely give out my info if she new someone that needed transcription work done. I didn't really think it would go anywhere, as that's the way it happens in this town, nothing ever comes to fruition. However, today I g ...

From reading post after post on the New MTs Board, it seems like one of the main reasons a lot of people chose the Medical Transcription field is because they were lured in by the “work at home, when you want” dream. But when reading through the job opening ads, any type of flexibility is usually reserved for Independent Contractor positions, and IC positions usually want lots of experience so the MT can work with little or no supervision. On top of that, at least in my opinio ...

I just got an email about these positions. Sounds good to me. I only want part-time work, so this would be right up my alley. The pay is kind of low in the beginning, but they do raise you to 8 c/l after probation. not too shabby huh??? What opinions are there here regarding this company? Good, bad or otherwise??? I saw their web site here and it sounds okay, but then you never know. Anyone currently working for this company now???? ...

an application? I submitted one at least 2 weeks ago... and it was no easy process as I couldn't log into the system, yada, yada. So, that makes me even wonder if they got my app and resume. But is it normal that they take forever to respond? Or is it normal if they don't want you, that they just ignore you? I just would prefer closure. I know Nuance well, as far as I know its not the dream job, to say the least. Just wondering what's up w ...

How do I respond to the Psych Eval MT position? There is no email address given in the post and when I try to reply by MT Stars email it gives me a failure notice. Thanks! ...

Will someone who partakes of the medical benefits tell me how they are with Medquist? About how much individual coverage is per month and, in particular, how is the prescription coverage? I appreciate any information! ...

I am still a student, so I am still very naive about a few things involving this grand new venture. But, since I am almost done with my 4th module at Andrews and getting ready to tackle the certification exams, I have been doing a lot of research and reading about people obtainng their first coding jobs or something in HIM. I read one scenario where the employer was telling of how she narrows it down to 3 candidates. Of course, if one goes into an interview and seems as i ...

This is my first experience with this and it sucks!! In training, I had a lot of work and I was told to expect between 80 to 100 minutes a day. It was close to that the first week. Now it's going on the third week and I have hardly any work, don't when I will have work, email them asking about work, and no one responds. I turned down another job for this and I am Pis*%. Any advice appreciated. ...

Does anyone know anything about E&O insurance coverage for IC MTs and if it will be required by government in the year 2010? A recruiter told me this morning that her company would require this coverage since the U.S. government will require ICs to have this coverage in February of 2010. Did I understand her correctly? If so, does anyone have any idea how much this would cost? ...

I can't get the stupid thing to submit. It would be so much easier if there was just a button that says "Continue current coverage" I'm done, have to work, cant deal with this crap ...

A week or 2 back someone asked what the HDS/SHDA coverage was during the night in reply to a post about coverage during the daytime. if still curious here are the approximate numbers from midnight. ILP workers: 1500 US workers: 186 From that last post, during the day it was: ILP workers: 1095 US workers: 837 ...

Been off for a week and I am having a heck of a time trying to convince myself to sit back in this chair and do it again. I keep trying the 'ol "at least it's a job speech," but I sure don't want to do this after being gone for a week. That is sad because I used to like what I do. Now it is worse than sitting in the dentist's chair having teeth pulled - at least that is temporary and you get to get up after an hour or two. But I did miss you guys and am gla ...

Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find a thread about it. If the health care reform means more Americans will be insured, then more Americans will be using doctor and hospital services, and there will be that much more transcription to do. Do you think this is right? Shouldn't there be a much bigger volume of transcription to be done, starting in a few years? ...

Hi, I'm a bit frustrated right now as MQ Central -Departments-Human Resources - Benefits must be down! Are there any FT employees who can tell me if MQ benefits are decent? Thanks for any info. I have sent several emails and I figured I'd probably get a response faster here first (lol)! ...

I'm not very knowledgable on this healthcare stuff, but is it legal for them to offer only ONE option for health coverage? Going up 60 bucks a month for me plus deductible going from 750 to 3000???? This is crazy! ...

They both seem to have exactly the same coverage, same deductible, etc. I can't figure out the difference between the two plans. ...

I need to have my medical info in print, such as the ins and outs of my short term and long term disability and what the BCBS will pay and not pay. Does anyone know where I can down load these at? I know, dumb question, but I just cannot remember! Any help would be appreciated! ...
