I am so glad I wasn't the only one who was wondering that. I thought I should know but, well, I didn't. Home based makes so much sense. Thanks everybody!

I'm getting so frustrated with these companies who don't respond at all when you apply to their jobs. I know they are overwhelmed with all the responses, but even an automated response is better than nothing.
During all the eating, nose blowing, just sitting there and reading the chart, talking to the patient and office personnel, and accepting phone calls during their dictation, do they realize there is a person on that dictation line? Do they even know what we do?
I have a couple doctors who do this constantly! It is not so bad if I am typing, but on VR all of this chatting and phone calling comes in on their dictation and has to be deleted constantly!! Frustr ...
I have noticed my regular doctor's office using EMR and it is used by the nurses more or less with the point/click stuff, not too much "major typing" but still aggravating that I have to sit there while they input their data. BUT, I took my child to a specialist last week and the physician himself was using EMR and it wasn't such a user friendly point and click thing going on, he had to type SENTENCES at the time. These sentences he was typing were achieved by him using his ...
I found a company called Physicians Choice Transcription Service (PCTSI) which says they take newbies but you pay them money weekly as a payroll deduction. You start out paying them $100/week. Does anyone know anything about this kind of service? I've been looking for work for weeks and have seen several places want "start up costs" in the thousands, but never a place that takes $100 a week from your pay when you work for them.

Anyone have an easy to use doctor finder for Georgia? So far, everything I find either wants you to get licensed or you have to search by county or specialty....any help will be much appreciated! ...
I see a lot of my clients as a patient. I have health insurance, which states that they accept a certain payment from that insurance as full payment. However, certain clients do balance billing, which is illegal. Balance billing is basically billing you personally for the amount over what they accepted as payment from that insurance company as an in-network physician.
If this were not my client, I would refuse to pay; however, since they are my clients, I have no choice. How would they feel if ...

If you think you are getting more and more ESL dictators, you are probably right. According to a public website, there were 2130 Visa petitions/applications and 748 Green Card petitions/applications for PHYSICIANS for the year 2010 alone. That does not include all the ESL physicians that came into the United States over the previous years. Yes, some applications were denied, but why do these hospitals feel they need that many foreign physicians to begin with.
If you are ...
to their patients the way the transcribe, many of them would soon have no patients to worry about. I'm listening to this one nut that is making paragraph a 2 syllable word. He is pgraph.

I need some help. I have many, many years in the industry with transcription, VR editing, QA and auditing and I have decided to cut out the middle man (the transcription companies) and solicit physicians on my own for work. My problem is not knowing the going rates to charge. I know they are low, but how low. The transcription companies are paying us very low rates, but how can I find out what the dr's are actually paying, so I dont cause the market to drop ...

"I recently did a tally. Since starting my locums adventure last year, and going to full-time locums in January, I’ve worked in a grand total of 11 emergency departments. Let me qualify that for the occasional visitor to my blog. I decided to do this for purposes of flexibility, finances and a much needed change of scenery. Not because I’m a problem physician, or unable to do the work in a “real” job. I say that to ...
