Bill passed - ICD-10 delayed nm

I just started working as an MT 5 or 6 weeks ago. I have about 10 IME's I need to bill them for. What is the going rate for this, if someone wouldn't mind explaining to me? They asked what my going rate was, and I had no idea. They said, it's usually .11/line. The doctor is very difficult to understand sometimes, so it can take much longer to decipher what he says. I keep telling myself that I am receiving, basically, paid learn-as-you-go training, so ...

I have a question ?? I am a transcriptionist in a surgeons office. I transcribe the report, fax it if it needs to be faxed and it gets filed in chart. The billing takes place 2 to 3 weeks later for the service depending on how current the coder is. Now.... this is the question. The physician is very greedy and likes to have level III and IV charges. His gait keeper has decided that he was not dictating enough and not getting the higher levels and too many level IIs. ...

He has an ad on the job board for 3 FT MTs, but there's no company name listed. Anyone know the company name? ...

Is it one word? Capitalized? ...

A patient came in to the office, threw his urine drug screen req form at me, spouted off profanities at my doctor, got in his face, threatened him with both physical violence and a lawsuit (for telling him to leave and calm down and then come back), called him a bunch of names and then stomped off. Can't bill for that, can I? It seems a shame since that slot could have been used for a good patient, not to mention the whole thing took 25 minutees. ...

I'm looking at our phone bill for a 12port system and its $550! that is ridiculous! and why in the world would I want to pay 15 or 18 cents PER MINUTE for a company to let me use their phone lines when Toll Free only costs 3 cents per minute??? Something has got to give or this industry in the US is going to CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

I.e., how will Medquist use the new bill to their benefit? ...

The internet is a dangerous place and this goes a bit too far but it is illustrative of how the danger is being recognized. I think it is just a matter of time before medical records will no longer be processed over the internet. Once that happens, perhaps our jobs will come back. ...

I recently started with a new company and my spellchecker disc is broken. Does anyone know of any company or website that lets you purchase these and bill you later? Years and years ago, Lippincott did this but now they don't. It was so helpful before. Are there any companies that do this anymore? Thanks for your help. I am broke but really need this for my job and it is several weeks before payday. ...

Just wanted to pass on the word that I passed the CPC this past Saturday. To those of you who don't know me from prior posts, I took the Andrews School coding course and am a former MT of many years. ...

I passed the CCS exam yesterday! Students out there, it can be done. Now onto the job search, a whole other thing completely, but for now, just trying to recover and let it sink in. I have been studying at Andrews for a whole year towards this goal and now it's here. Thanks Andrews staff and students for all the support! ...

Hi everyone, I have great news. I have passed my final exam with honours! I received a 98% on objective and 96% on practical. For those who know me, I was really getting nervous about graduating from my course, but I did it. Because of my final mark I qualify for a job placement (100-hour practicum), so I am just waiting to hear what company I will be placed with...what I great way to start my 2010! Thanks for all of your support, it really did help me! Catchup- ...

Just got notice I passed the practical for dental assisting. Now I'm too excited to sit here and work :) Plan on taking the written test next month and then I'm out of here!!! It hasn't been easy going to school and scraping by here, but I have to pay the bills. I'm leaving transcription kicking and screaming. At my age, I thought I would be doing this 'til the end of my working days. So sad. ...

Now the hard part - finding a job! Very glad the testing is over - phew! ...

I just passed testing with Breitner. I am excited about being offered a position with standard transcription. Anyone willing to share good/bad? I would like to accept their offer, but now-a-days quite a nervous nelly. Just have to work 15 more years until retirement and would love that to be with one more company! And before anyone says it, I have researched the archives...... ...

Well I passed the CCS today but didn't think I was going to as I didn't feel like it was going very well. I am an Andrews grad but have not worked as a coder so far. ...

I just got my results in the mail from AAPC that I passed the certification exam for CPC-H! I have been an MT for decades and when my last in-house MT job was outsourced, I decided I'd better get moving on to coding. Coding is very difficult and I had quite a time completing the online CPC-H course offered by AAPC. I started in the Spring and just got certified. I want all the MTs out there to know that terminology, A&P are helpful to already know! It was not easy to get this certificat ...

I have yet to pass one, how the heck, with say 3 minor errors can you possible pass these things? I want to quit so badly but have no prospective jobs. So the question boils down to basically, is at what percentage of errors are they firing people? 99.5, 99 what? I just cannot see how this is possible to do. My thoughts are that they are going to try this stupid goal and see who comes the closest to the 99.7% unrealistic BS and keep them. I also cannot see how the Indians are doing this, s ...

from recent ad? Any action after that? Thanks. ...

I have been an MT for nine years and recently decided to take the CPMC course which ended in June. I passed my CPC exam on the first try and have sent out almost 80 resumes (I kid you not) and have not been able to get a job. Does anyone know of any companies that hire remote entry level coders with a strong medical background? My frustration level is at its max and I am so discouraged... ...

I just received word from my tribe they are assisting me in paying for this exam. So, it is imperitive that I pass this test. I graduated Andrews about a year ago and because I just couldn't afford to take the exams, I didn't becomes certified. I do know it would probably be best to sit for the CPC first, but I am a person who would rather do the hardest first and since my tribe will help, this is the direction I have decided to go. I am worried since ...

in my pod from the list they sent out. Two-thirds passed, one-third failed. (I was in the fail group). Let the Indians do it and see how they score. I hate this BS ...

Took the test a few days ago and haven't heard anything back. Does anyone know if they advise you of a pass/fail, or do you only hear from them if you pass and are offered a position? TIA? ...

Acute pancreatitis - rule out past/passed sludge. ?? Is it past or passed? Thanks ...

I had a job offer with a local hospital as a transcriptionist making 15.37 an hour which would be a raise from my dead end job I have now of scheduling. I have been a transcriptionist for 14 years and had to take a totally different job just to get a paycheck when our department was outsourced last year. So on a whim I applied when I saw a job opening at the same hospital that outsourced the entire transcription department. I was offered the job and accepted it but my husband was so stressed abo ...

I just passed my finals with CareerSteps. Are there jobs out there for someone like me being new? I am a disabled Veteran and would like to work for the VA Hospital here in Denver or is it better to work independently as a contractor? Thanks!! ...

HELP? Has anyone out there recently passed the mttest.com (created by Career Step) that most all companies are utilizing to prescreen their candidates? I am a Career Step graduate (high honors) with many yearsâ�� experience working for a very large global transcription company; yet I cannot seem to pass the aforementioned test to save my life. I find this strange for the following reasons: 1. I passed the same (or nearly the same) test, on the 1st try, with a 99% combined score t ...
