Fabulous way to save money on coding books!

Does anyone recommend any beginning coding books to explore the field of coding and possibly get a head start while I am awaiting school? Thanks so much. ...

We are using the book "Basic ICD-9-CM Coding." I would like to know what other books other schools are using for Coding I. I do not think this book is the best for me! Can anyone suggest any others? ...

or is EVERYTHING on line. Wondering how hard it would be to backtrack to study for exams? ...

I was just wondering since each year the coding books are updated, what do hospitals do with the previous year's books? There hasn't been an update to ICD-9 since 2012? Correct? Thank you, PT ...

used those little emoticon thingies. I don't know many of them, but I understand there are dozens. These could obviously be used in our reports so we don't get paid for actual words... If prognosis is guarded, use that little frownie face. That heart thing could be used for dozens of things. Wow, docs could just use their "smart" phones to enter gibberish abbreviations and signs and MQ could just have us edit them for no money whatsoever. What's the world coming to ...

the last time my computer crashed I lost them ALL and I am now in the process of re-entering them...wow it's so much work. I am kicking myself for not figuring out how to save them before, but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. Any advice would be so very appreciated!!! ...

I am new to editscript and have worked a long time on another platform. Can someone tell me where the save button or icon is to save changes/corrections? I really would appreciate your help here. I realize this is probably some little something I am missing, but I sure would feel better if I could just find it and save changes before uploading to make sure changes were saved. Thank you in advance. ...

but how do you do this? I tried to forward an email to another email address and it gets blocked (restricted - can't send). If you get laid off/fired you lose access to your email immediately. So I don't understand how someone here saves any on these emails. ...

i'm starting a new orthopedic acount. is there any reason for me to get orthopedic books like stedmans, or is it all out there on the web? does anyone have any experience with this? thanks! ...

I really want to be the best MT I can be. ...

This one really got me today....doc dictating a review of systems VR. Self-explanatory I think. Dictated: Genitourinary. Speech wreck: Jenny Toe Urinary This system will never work!!! LOL ...

From each paycheck? Is it 15%? I might be becoming one. ...

I figure there must be a way. Thanks for any help. ...

How do I save my expansions so they will not be lost. I have some save on a thing I bought at Wal-Mart, but back in the days when 1-800 Dictate was a real help, they saved it for me. I do not remember how to do it. TIA. ...

Have had absolutely NO problems with the new 6.1 DQS until today and then right in the middle of a long staight type report (wouldn't you know) everything started locking up. I looked down at task bar and saw a message that said virus scan windows workstations (group task) was running and then auto-save kicked in every few minutes. Finally managed to struggle through it and then logged out. I can't afford to sit there and not be to perform adequately while the clock is t ...

This particular doc is super-annoying. He word salads/mumbles/sputters/, says things he thinks are funny and then laughs at his own "joke" (as in "I told the patient not to set himself on fire again while smoking crack heh-heh-heh"), and tonight he clearly and deliberately enunciated a phrase and then said, "I thought you people would have gotten this by now." WTF??? Among other things, this guy could not key in the correct number of a report if there were only 1 button on hi ...

"I was able to do 20 outstretched arm circles while waiting for my slower-than-molasses-in-Januay demographic field to load!" That's what one lucky MT had to say after reading and implementing, Easy Tips from a Deranged Medical Transcriptionist. Yes, you can mix your work and exercise and other household chores whilst keeping your sanity at the same time with these nifty suggestions. Who wouldn't want to keep her houseshold running smoothly whilst waiting f ...

As many of you know, EMR companies charge fees upwards of 15,000 dollars to allow transcription companies to integrate with them. This barrier to entry will lead to us all being replaced by voice recognition or point and click unless we all do something. There is no reason transcriptionists can not co-exist with EMR's. Doctors still need someone to type their records up for them. It is simply a faster and a more efficient use of resources to keep us in the loop. Eliminating these EMR fees ...

Is there any way to save all those entries that are now in the Shorthand system (which I suspect will be removed when my Nuance software is removed on my last day)? ...

I have never been on an acct where every report is impossible to understand and the style is so reckless and non caring on the part of the dictator. I feel like I am in a Third World country. Please don't call me a bigot (as I have been before) for complaining about the sad state of dictating. I had an Asian pediatrician when my children were young and because I couldn't understand every word had to ask the nurse or receptionist to read from the file because I did not want to hurt his ...

Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly. I applied for a job last week that asked me which reference books I currently use. To be honest, I haven't renewed any of my reference books in about 8 years, as I found it to be much, much quicker to locate terms via the Internet if you ...

The only ophthalmology book I am aware of is Stedman's. Is there another one that is better? I am only a little bit familiar with ophthalmology OP's and need a good book. Thanks. ...

I have spent forever looking for where we can buy the discount books on MQCentral - can anyone help me???? ...

Hi all, I have a bunch of Stedman's word books that I don't want to go through the trouble of selling. I just want to maybe donate them somewhere in one swoop, but where would one donate something like this? I am not wanting to ship them anywhere, either. Any ideas, smart people? I stopped updating my books some years ago when our pays weren't what they were before that, and also with the Internet they weren't as big a necessity as years prior. I never updated all of ...

Okay, are Word Books still being used these days? I am beginning a unit on dermatology and having a difficult time with some of the expressions/words, etc. If they are, what is the recommended Word Book? From what I've seen online the books seems to be outdated? Thanks for any input. ...

Does anyone use actual reference books any longer? I paid so much for Stedman's books and now I never use them. I am a big Google fan. ...

I might soon be working for a new company and wondering if I should ramp up on my reference books. What are your must haves? Do you use the BOS (helpful or no?) Anyone use the online BOS; if so, user friendly or not? Any help, opinions much appreciated! ...

I think that is one thing that is slowing my computer down. I notice it gets real sluggish and then the "Auto Save" flases in the bottom tool bar. ...

I am using some of these but still use the mouse. Does everyone else do this or do you find that it is more productive to use all those shortcut keys? Thanks so much. Going broke here. ...
