Wondering if Amphion pays a little higher because of not counting spaces -

Hello, Does anyone know if Breitner pays for spaces? Do they pay on time? Incentives? Thank you ...

Anyone know if the MTSOs are counting spaces in their line counts? Is the standard still a 65 character line? ...

I think I may have seen this discussed on here before but I can't seem to find the posts. I am looking for a good line counting/word counting program. TIA for any and all suggestions! ...

Does anyone know what 0.08 line without spaces equals out to with spaces? ...

i saw in TV this morning that the national average was 3% pay increases this year....Can't remember the last raise I have had so doubt we will see that! A pay decrease is a better bet. ...

Have you guys been using the search engine to look up previous reports? I LOVE IT, have been waiting for it for YEARS!!! I just did a look up by patient and was able to avoid 2 skip markers...the doc was flying through the medicines and I could NOT get them, looked up a report for the patient, there was only one, but it did list the meds...WOOHOOO....there are some good things in these changes if you look for them!! ...

Seems to me, "one year acute care experience" was the basic requirement to sign on with an MTSO. Then it went to three years. Now, a lot of places require "five years' experience." Plus, QA has gotten unbelievably picky. I've always had top-notch quality and even been complimented personally by physicians at various local clinics. Recruiters call my test scores "excellent." And YET, wherever I start working, my QA looks like the homework of some dyslexic third-grader that comes back fr ...

After AGAIN seeing more productivity and no increase in my pay, I sent my CCM an e-mail asking to explain it. Will keep you all posted! Maybe everyone should do the same, let them see how frustrated we all are. Betcha M*Modal is the only one reaping any benefits from our increased productivity. Bet the suits are getting major bonuses while we can barely keep our heads above water. ...

What happened to SK? I tried to CC him on an email that he needs to see and got a notice that the email was no longer valid. Please tell me they didn't RIF him. He probably would have fired me for the email anyway, but I'm tired of being told by my supervisor not to go above her head with complaints. ...

It is so so sad that some of our own bosses don't seem to care that we are suffering financially with this switch over. All they say is "hang in there"..REALLY, oh yeah that's right you have no idea what we are going through because you still get your salary pay or even hourly pay....stop and try production pay for 1 month and then talk to me. I'm done....outa here! ...

Let's see who reads this board. This is a challenge to the "bosses" to try and improve production and cut costs. I have worked in many jobs in my life from delivering papers at 12, to retail, to public service jobs, the one constant in ALL of them is..a happy employee is a productive employee. Business 101 says, if your employees produce more, you need less of them, and that cuts overhead. That being said I would be happy if: 1. You simply paid 15 or 20 minutes a day paid time to re ...

and do you recommend doing this? Thanks ...

7 cpl job has BCBS about 53.00 per pp, dental 4.00 per pp. Employer pays for short term and long term disability, and they pay your life insurance at 2 times your pay. They offer about 28 paid PTO days per year, 8 holidays a year of which you have to work at least 2, profit sharing if company has increased profits for the year, plus 401K where they will deposit 3%, plus match 50 cents on the dollar up to 8%. They provide equipment. Very easy and transcription friendly software program, pay ...

I normally work nights and get the worst dictators and horrid ASR. Of course, the worst dictators are usually the low man on the totem pole and get the worst coverage. At least, that is my experience from everywhere I have worked. Plus you get the sleepy doctors that can barely move their mouths in between yawns. I also only rarely get operative reports. On the few occasions I have needed to work a day shift, in addition to much better dictation, I get a lot of operative reports (I am tie ...

Anyone know of a good software that automatically counts your character/line for you... Other than the word count feature in Microsoft? I am looking software that you can load all the files and folders in, and it computes the grand total. This will save me time, and maybe I can keep better track of what I am making in each payperiod. Thanks to anyone who can help. ...

Looking for MTs out there that work from home and type directly into patient EMR record. Do you then charge by the line and if so, how do you count your document if you have typed it directly into EMR? ...

I'm hoping to transition out of MT this summer and I just can't wait. Just got nitpicked over how many spaces I put after periods. Really?! BOS says 1 or 2 is fine as long as you're consistent. Sick of listening to the ESL dictator who replaced a prolific dictator that spoke English clear as a bell. Had it with the folks who make up abbreviations that don't exist (HLD = Hyper Lipi Demia?), the people who don't spell difficult names, and the dictators that are so ...

I have used Abacus SE for years, but it has started messing up and is not counting all reports. I was going to reinstall the software, but it is apparently no longer available. Is there a good, simple-to-use line counting software that will include headers (including headers on the second page - I've found Sylcount does not do that)? Thanks! ...

Is there a line-counting software that is very accurate and that will count doctors individually? I have an account with three doctors. They require a breakdown of each doctor's amount when I bill. I currently use FlashCount, which doesn't have this feature, unless I just cannot figure it out. ...

count subfolders separately? I need to provide a total line count for 3 doctors, but with a breakdown and separate total for each doctor. The only software I can find does not have this feature. I have to count each doctor separately and then manually add it up and create the invoice. ...

Mistake of working for friend doing subcontracting. I am paid 13 cpl but very hard to hear doctor; it's on tape, takes forever to type. Main issue is that she says I should use Wordperfect's line count, but when I recently compared it to my line counter, Practicount, there is a difference - not huge but enough that it's bothering me. Question is does anyone know if Wordperfect's line counting is correct and includes spaces? TIA. ...

I've started monitoring my line counts against what my company comes up with on a few random reports. I have a couple questions: - I've counted lines vs characters with both my company's line counter, and the Microsoft Word line counter (In the top toolbar: "Tools", "Word Count"). There's a slight discrepancy, and I wondered if any of you notice the same amount of difference: If counting lines, Microsoft comes up with considerably more than my compan ...

I've been a transcriptionist for 15 years now and just the last year working at home being paid by line. My new boss thinks I'm screwing them over with my lines and wants to discuss with me next week about how I shouldn't be getting paid for certain documents. So my question is this. Some of the doctors when doing a discharge summary for example will have me take the admission h&p and then add the discharge onto the end of it. I will probably ...

Anyone noticing differences in the counts of these 2 programs that TT has? First the MT monitor WAS giving better counts than Ichart. Now after months it is reverse. I get the feeling that it is being reprogrammed so we get shortchanged--as usual. Years ago working for a small company we had an account that gave you 5 lines for the demographics and the hidden footer was 1 line. Then the big company came along, TS from Georgia, and THEIR program conde ...
