I've been out of MT for a few years to go back to college after spending a decade at the daily grind but finances require me to go back to work and so I'm crawling back to the industry again. Anyone know of any companies (nationals fine by me) who are hiring for clinic work? It would be extra ideal to find an IC position that offered me even minor flexibility with my schedule so I could break to drive my kids to school and husband to and from work etc. since we are currently all s ...
So, who here has passed the course, passed the cert test(s) and gotten a job when you have been an MT for about 20 years or more at home?? I want very much to start a coding course and get my foot out of my home door and into a physician's office door (or hospital), but wondering if the door is actually open to those like me? Would love to know of anyone's experience as far as getting hired at this point in life (:
Thanks! ...
am I crazy or does 8 cpl seem to be the norm lately??? I've even noticed some 7 cpl for straight typing. What is wrong with these people??? I made more than 8 cpl 13 years ago when I first started out. With the cost of living as much as it is, how are we to make a living doing this job other than working our fingers to the bone and working 16 hours a day? We all need to send emails and letters to Dateline or other news shows to do some kind of expose on t ...
I was recently hired by a company and earlier today, was having a phone conversation with my supervisor. She stated that during their recent advertisement, they had received an overwhelming response. However, there were people who did not submit a cover letter with their resume, and cover letters and resumes that they received that were full of grammatical errors as well as spelling errors and some cover letters and resumes that contained "text type speak."
For heaven's s ...
When completing job applications, are you all putting down the main MQ number in Laurel, NJ, are you using your current CCM's info (they chg so frequently), or using the URL for employment verification. I have to find something else soon. I guess you can consider me a complainer now too because I'm tired of making less and less money but working more hours. I'm working another job, but have to find a replacement for MQ asap. I can't do this anymor ...
After filling out multiple forms, tests, etc...how long can one expect to wait to hear anything? I would hope after doing this for 11 years that I would be a good fit for someone out there. :( I know it is pretty tight right now...I just wondered how long people have had to wait until they heard anything. I know I saw some people on here saying they heard right away. I am still doing more research, applications, etc...to get all over the place. Thanks. ...
If you are currently job hunting for an MT position, please do all of us a favor. Research the company to make sure it is a US-only based company. If all MTs who are job hunting would stick together and refuse to work for companies who outsource to India, Phillipines, etc., we could make a difference. I have worked for 6 different companies (2 of those being PT supplemental income jobs), and I made sure all of them were US-only based jobs. Before the rant starts, I k ...
How long did it take you to hear from people? I have sent out resumes upon resumes, on job boards, etc....I haven't heard squat from anyone! I admit I only do clinic and rad transcription, but I do have eight years under my belt, and haven't had any complaints. I do apply for jobs that fit in my area of expertise, and I have tried to apply outside that as well. I thought I saw someone on this site say it took TWO MONTHS before they heard anything because of how ...
$15/hour. Like the good ole days. I'm moving soon but not to those cities. Hopefully I can find a MT in-house job, otherwise, I'm done. I will not continue to work for these low wages while the companies make billions in revenue. ...
I've been here for years and work on the worst accounts I've ever had in my life, only to make peanuts. Now they're trying to take away the only good thing I have left, my schedule. I wonder how many people they're going to lose this way. If I had wanted to work 2nd and 3rd shift, I would have taken a job with that schedule in the first place. Does it even occur to them that we took this job with our particular shift in the first place because that ...
I graduated from M-Tec in Jan. 2011 while working a full-time job. My plan was to keep working, get a part-time MT job until I gained experienced, and then quit my other job and do MT full time. I sent out tons of resumes but received no replies except for one that expressed fear I would get burned out working 2 jobs. After that I got discouraged and stopped looking for MT work for over a year.
Now I'm newly motivated (hate my current job) and want to start looking ...
I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed over and over - I'm just starting to research it a bit. (I haven't completely been under a rock but I have been in my own happy little world with my job ... until now).
I'm an IC transcriptionist (working from home) for a local clinic of 15 MDs/PAs. Three of them are using Dragon Speak VR with EHR. A fourth one just started. What I want to know is if there is a place for me when m ...
I am working at a company who observes certain holidays and we are required to work 4 of them, but this is the first company I have ever worked where I have to use my PTO on the holiday I am supposed to be off. Does your company do the same?
Thank you! :) ...
My company just lost a huge account. Since then I have not made much money at all. I am scraping to get by. After 10 years in the medical transcription field I am fed up. I have always worked on such great accounts for good money. Now, I cannot find something that is even average pay. I am going to be taking a medical coding course; however, I still need to provide for my three kids. I want to go out and solicit doctors and try to secure my own account, ...
I have an interview with a local eye clinic (there are six surgeons). Just wondering what kind of salary to expect to be offered or ask for (!), having been paid as a remote MT/VR Editor by production for many years and haven't a clue about salaries in clinics any more. It is not as an IC but as member of their staff, permanent, full-time, 40 hours a week.
Any advice would be appreciated.
TIA.

I just found out today when I had no work with my smaller company that Nuance took over all the work starting today. I found out they knew about it 2 months ago and didn't tell us. I am waiting on the contact information from the original clinic manager at the doctor's office so hopefully we can go with our work.
Has anyone else had this happen and if so how good are the chances of just going with Nuance. At this point I just need the work.
Thank ...
I've been doing clinic my whole six-year MT career. Now since there are not that many clinic transcription jobs anymore, I'd like to learn acute. But of course, all the acute ads say they want experience. I'm confident that I can pass some of the acute care job tests. Are some employers open to giving you an acute care job if you do well on the test, having no actual job experience in it? I went to a good school and am confident in my abilities. What has been your experience in th ...
No idea who that ad on the Job Seekers board is from (Tracy in Lousiana, but no company name).
Am I the only one who wondered if the "overflow" 1 to 2 days a week is some atrocious dictator that the person running the ad doesn't want to have to endure?
I never thought of farming out the bad dictators when I had my own accounts. I just did the worst ones first and got them out of the way.
Anyway, not saying that's what the poster is doing but thought it *would* be an int ...
Are there any companies out there who do not do clinic notes? I am so tired of little reports that you cannot get any lines on and continually jumping from one clinic to another. Give me back op reports and I will be so happy. Does any company do the basic 4 anymore? ...
Does anyone currently work at Mayo Clinic doing transcription? Wondering how the work is and if there are a lot of ESL doctors. I am not talking about the subsideries in WI, MN where they outsourced to Amphion last year. I am talking about Mayo Clniic in Rochester. Thank you in advance for any info. ...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but....I have been an MT for 20 years doing ER, Radiology and Basic 4. I'm thinking of taking a job doing Clinic work. I'm used to lots of lines with ERs and Basic 4, but I was just wondering if you can get enough lines and make enough money doing Clinic work? ...
I lost my primary accounts recently and was switched to an account where most of the jobs are really short clinic-type notes (less than a minute). This pay period, my paycheck will be over $200 less than it was when I had my primary accounts, and I'm barely making my minimum line counts. I've been doing this job for a long time and have always had really good line counts before. I've been feely really down in the dumps like maybe I've just kind of lost ...
