Certainly nothing new to be confused over QA, but this one is really confusing me. Perhaps I missed the memo. I had mL changed to cc by QA. Yes, dictator stated cc, but I surely do remember being told to use mL instead so why was it changed to cc....not sure. The other change was 12 mm changed to 12-mm. Confused by this one as well.....that's my typing vent for the day! Thanks for listening : ) ...

I am not sure if I should ask on this board or not. I have read the chatter back and forth and .... oh my! I am still in school at Allied (not sure if it is considered a good school or not), but I am very confused about formating. I am sure in the real world the company that employs you will give you what format to use. However, in school I am suppose to know. Enough rambling! What I am confused about is the subheadings. As I transcribe the various pract ...

......who underwent open carpal tunnel surgery closed with 4 nylon sutures. This is what was dictated. every place I look has it 4-0. what do I type? I'm stumped. ...

I read on this forum that Keystrokes pays well.....I was offered a position with them doing Radiology and they only wanted to pay me $1.00 per report. That is crappy!!!! Is this what KS MTs consider good? If so, your being short changed. I was so excited when I got that email, then I read further.....sad! ...

I do not know why but I get confused about this. Is it: "The patient will be seen on consult" or "in consult." ...

I was hired as a PART TIME IC so could someone please explain to me how being required to work 8-5 mon-fri is part time IC?!!! I mean, I thought IC was working when you want to not set schedule and 8-5 does not seem part time to me!! Some MTSOs are incredible!!! Just wanted to vent! ...

How much is the pay per line supposed to be for a tier 3 MT at MQ? I just can't figure it out and don't know where to find it. Thanks. ...

OK I get NJA, change Schedule Source to work availability, then I get a job 10 minutes into it, now what? I know I don't get paid for 10 minutes of NJA/work availability. Clock out and back in under production? Will I get in trouble for the 10 minutes of work availability? Then if I get NJA again, clock back out of production and back into work availability and SEE if it goes the full 15 minutes??????????? I need a tutorial on this I guess. Any suggestion ...

the posters were as well. You have to punch out of production to change to "work availability" and I was under the impression you can't type while in "work availability" so you have to clock out and back in under "production" if you get a job during that 15 minute wait period. I am in agreement that it is ridiculous, but if I think the whole day is going to be slow I just want to wait the required 15 minutes and be RELEASED for the rest of my shift, however, it is so confu ...

I just took an online test and I found it rather easy and they said I didn't pass and then suggested more training. WTH??!! I have over 20 years experience and maintain a 99% QA. There is no way I didn't pass that. I could see if I thought it was hard but I even double checked my answers even if I knew they were right. Anyone else ever have this happen? ...

Would you take an insurance transcription job at WorldWide Transcription that pays .06 per line, has lots of work, and offers a M-F schedule. The only con I can find is that they mail paper checks, instead of direct deposit. Or would you take a transcription job with Integrity HD. I am not sure the line pay yet, but was contacted by a recruiter today? Thanks and please do not be nasty. :) ...

I started a few months ago. Is anyone else confused by the lingo? Also on this account there are so many pages of specifics I am feeling incompetent and the specifics have changed 3 times so far. ...

Why are all these entries lined through? ...

I am just venting!!! Somewhere along the line I guess I misunderstood the whole concept behind VR. I have a real hard time understanding why a bunch of words, many that don't make any sense or even sound like what is dictated, in no type of formatting constitutes a report; VR dictation that needs to be restructured and pretty much retyped but yet I get paid less and required to do it faster than a real "typed" report. My research on VR is #1 the dictator has to b ...

Does BayScribe only count the total time you're actually 'in' reports as the time that's weighed against your server time? In other words, when you're logged into Bayscribe's main menu and not actually transcribing a report, those minutes aren't being added in, are they? I hope I'm not confusing you guys! Thanks in advance for clearing this up for dense me! ...

How does this print out? Am I missing something? What was dictated was "allergies" that heading printed out and then this phrase was there ...DICTATION DISCONTINUED AT THIS POINT... Stop ...

Okay so here we go. In the past my boss has said that the incentive does not mean that OT is approved. Three weeks ago she said that since it was an incentive then we all could work extra. Then two weeks ago said that OT is not automatically approved during an incentive. Now she states, "I know all of you are worried about there not being work in our group because of the incentive, but it is there. Since there is an incentive go ahead and take advantage of it as much as y ...

For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites. TIA ...

OK....just to be sure I understand this.....if I am an IC, do I deduct approximately 15% (like what my previous employer deducted for SS and Medicare) OR do I deduct 30% for my part and employer part? I've been on the IRS website but that's confusing. Don't have the money to consult a CPA right now. Don't want to take a job as an IC if this is a mistake. Have an interview for IC and 2nd interview for employee status. Sorry to keep repeating mys ...

Everybody keeps talking about getting bought out by Medquist. Medquist seems to be taking out the field left and right. How dominating is Medquist? And if a lot, would the government step in to discourage a monopoly? ...

I am confused about the fact that someone stated that the pay period would end Friday for Nuance. At least that is what I thought I understood them to say. I just had a pay period end last Friday, so why is there another pay period ending this Friday (normally every 2 weeks)? Another thing I was wondering about since we were not given any written paperwork on the new pay rate and incentive details is didn't the new pay rate go in effect Dec 17th? I thought that ...

When I first started with my present company I was told that there was going to be a lot of work and indeed I was working A LOT. Being thanked profusesly for all the work I was doing and the quality I was documents I was editing. Now only a few months later work and communication is at a standstill. I work because I have to. I am not independently wealthy. I don't know what to do now. ...

I was reading the ad posted by Synernet and thought it sounded quite decent, what with benefits and incentive plan, etc., then I noticed their ad has 4 "dislikes." Does anyone who clicked that "dislike" button care to explain here why? If there's something about the company that isn't in line with the ad, I'd love to know before I bother testing and applying. TIA! ...

Ok, so I got an email from K this morning saying our account was backed up with many late reports and asking where we all were. I logged in, and there were only 6 jobs in the queue!! I had enough work to maybe make $2 so far and here I sit. I'm not sure I understand where she is coming from. ...

My QA score for this new quarter shows 98.6, yet my FEISA score right now is 99.89? Where do we keep track of QA and what they do and how do we know what they are counting off on? ...
