Here in the US, what are you making (without naming names) per line for straight typing and for VR?I see, below, about OTI lowering to 6.5 CPL straight type and I was just recently offered a job at 7 CPL straight type (as an IC). I thought that was the going rate nowadays for company work. Am I wrong? Are there still some out there that pay a decent wage? ...

is that correct? If so, are CB and DF still involved? I love Bayscribe, and I was thinking about biting the bullet and applying to Nuance for some PT work, but I kind of butted heads with the 2 ladies and so I don't want to waste my time. Thanks for your input. ...

First sentence after GI bleed: Large boy IV was placed. Any help will be appreciated. ...

is it of large or off large Urinalysis in my office today showed proteinuria off large, blood off large..??? ...

MTs, you would think they could make their paydays every other Friday, instead of twice a month. ...

Can someone tell me the names of any medium or large size MT companies that are NOT owned by Nuance and where you get benefits for full-time employee status (I'm not looking for IC status). Also, if the company happens to be great to work for (ha!) please let me know. ...

Anyone know of a reasonably priced headset with microphone (not wireless) that has the big ear pads that fit over the whole ear not just on the ear. I'm talking an ear pad about 2-1/2 x 3 inches. The one I'm using isn't all that tight, it's just that after a whole day one of my ears hurts from even the small amount of pressure. I need stereo. Hoping for under $100. ...

I live in a large metro area with many physician offices and lawyer offices. I am a great transcriptionist and am currently doing just a couple of files a month (I know it's so little). I need more work and am going to try getting my own. Can I just drop off a letter to the offices? I am thinking about doing $1.25 per audio minute or 10 or 12 cents per 65-character line. Any advice on this method or the rates? Thanks. ...

I will work my 40 but I am not going to do OT. I wish Mmodal would get a clue and start paying living wages. ...

Patient noticed bleeding from underneath her left breast. A large mass was noted, which she thought was secondary to s/l "hider-in-dias." Biopsy showed grade 3 infiltrating ductal carcinoma which was ER/PR negative. Thanks! ...

was placed for wound DECOUPMENT? TIA ...

Does anyone know of a legal recourse for work injuries caused by company equipment? A market leader, at-the-time generous transcription company sent me an old fashioned monitor, which after years of looking at it caused ocular saccades (lateral jitter of eyes). Also, they downgraded to cheap earphones with a solenoid in them that thumped, decreasing hearing permanently, evidently, in the solenoid fitted side of the headset. I think the saccades are diminished to absent now ...

I am wondering what the pros and cons are for working for a smaller company versus a larger one? I work for a small company and this is the only one I have worked for, but find myself lately wondering if I need to move on as I am afraid that my skills I learned may be deteriorating and there has been such a lack of communication. I realize that every place is different, but I need some opinions from others that have been in the field longer than myself. Thanks. ...

I just found out I am being placed on an acute care account for a hospital that has over 500 physicians! Is there really a way to make a decent income from on an account that large? It doesn't seem to me that I would get the same physicians very often, making it much more difficult to get used to their speech patterns, normals, etc. I believe this account will also be partly VR editing. Will that be any easier with that many physicians?? ...

...in case there is more than one, in particular I am referring to one on the LG supe team? Is it going offshore soon? Wondering why I was moved. Not alot to do. Very curious. ...

I want to work as an employee and have benefits. I need health insurance and really want PTO. I want a company big enough to be busy but I CANNOT AND WILL NOT work for MQ again. I thought that DSG was the answer for me and have enjoyed working there the last 2 years. Yesterday was my last day as I refuse to be an MQ employee even for a day. I have a small savings account, and my husband has a decent job, so I am not desperate but I will need to be working within the ...

Hi, I was on this account working directly for the hospital when we ended up outsourced, first to Transcend and then with Nuance when they took over. Back in the day, we got a TON of compliments for our work. However, at this time, I do not know a single person who used to work for them that is still there. I ran into a friend who still works in house in med records the other day, and she said the quality on the work has been ghastly! I am not trying to say any of you guys are responsible ...

Please help? Thanks! ...

Sounds like constituted but that doesn't seem to make much sense to me in an orthopedics report. I'm such a noob. ...

Just a few years ago I was making 50K plus doing the same exact thing I am now getting paid 10-12 dollars an hour for. Does anybody know the real reason for this dramatic change? the details? ...

When will you MTSOs wise up and realize that pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of account specs for nitpicky docs SLOW DOWN YOUR MTs? If you had any sense, you would use standardized headings in all reports and then turn that into a positive by telling prospective clients that it expedites turnaround of their reports. That is *exactly* what I did back when I owned my company, and it worked!&n ...

If you want experienced qualified MTs who have been doing this for years and years & can do any WT, any accent, any specialty, adapt to any software quickly.... quit requiring them to include a weekend day. Save those for part-timers or newbies. The experienced "oldies" have done their graveyard and weekend time. There are actually some companies who "get" that. If you're wondering why you can't find good experienced MTs, maybe that's why... ...

Hello! I'm a small MTSO who had lost some clients due to EMR. I'm not yet ready to give up as of yet because I love this profession very much being in the MT business for the past 11 years. I have heard stories about more and more doctors getting frustrated with EMR and would still want to dictate parts of the medical reports but somehow needed the transcribed dictation interfaced with their own EMR system. I'm very interested to learn how this is done so I can o ...

Honestly, I hate change but I am ready to jump. I don't ask too much, just to know if I get audited by QA the intent is not to take money off me. From what I can see, both the two big 2 - Nuance and MModal - use QA punitively financially, and while I have no objection to QA, when it is used to pick off MT pay I find that reprehensible and not an incentive to work your heart out, if you get what I mean. If anyone cares to share their company's policies, especially if they don't ...

on an employee status? Would love to get out of the big N, but I don't want to be an IC at my age. ...

That would make things much easier for us to plan ahead the rest of our shift; whether to sit there and wait for work, or if we only will be working part of a shift and the work runs out, or if we can sign out and do other things in our personal life that need to be done. I can't see that it's that big a problem or inconvenience for you to simply send an email to all on the account, or instant message, or whatever. You do it when you're begging for he ...

These days, one can assume that ALL large MTSOs - are money-hungry scammers.

Yes they are - non
