Great opportunity?

I'm always over 200 until I get Mr. Mumblemouth who knows he is not forming actual words when he hums through the PE, as my counts plummet to as loiw as 75 LPH. Then I get a long report from an excellent fast-talking dictator and my LPH jumps to 340. Question: Why is it that the MTSO does not comprehend the fact that our production depends on the capability of the provider to dictate correctly? The horrid dictators are never told they are doing anything wrong as ...

If you were working for a national, and making less than minimum wage, but had plenty of work and basic health insurance, would you take a per-diem inhouse job that paid 5 times what you were making now, but had no benefits, and meant a very long commute? I'm thinkin' about it, but with gas headed toward $5/gallon, I'm not so sure.......... ...

Our local hospital has a new position for HIM Clerk to review medical reports for accuracy. This pays twice what I was making as an editor for a service. I wonder if this will be the trend, to create new in-house positions in HIM for editing. Perhaps another endeavor that will not end up saving them money or improving accuracy over what their service is providing? Perhaps someday the bean counters will realize they could drop one millionaire CEO to gain 250 experienced e ...

Just wondering if anyone has missed a job opportunity by not responding right away to a potential employer. I got an email yesterday around 3 p.m. asking to interview with me and I responded around 5 p.m. and have now heard nothing back. Just wondering if I missed my window? Would they go with someone else just because they were available in that 2-hour window? I really, really, really want this job and am just making myself sick over the possibility I may have missed my opportunity. ...

I have a question about Amphion. I applied to them last summer, and I ended up taking another position. Now, I am looking for work again and tested for them again. The benefits email I received when I first applied to them had OUTRAGEOUS costs for the health insurance - are they still like that? Which insurance do they offer - still Humana? Cee ...

I am pleased to say I have found an open door to a job opportunity that is outside of MT work. It is a job that will utilize my experience in healthcare and my medical terminology. A very nice pay increase, regular holidays off with pay, and vacation and sick time. No weekend work. Most importantly, a new skill set that makes my more marketable opening up more future opportunities as well. I hope this encourages some of you to see what is out there. Submitting a resume or filli ...

Hi all, I need some advice. I am currently a medical transcriptionist and I applied for a job at a local billing company as an administrative support for the coding department. The pay was 13.00 an hour and it was about 33 miles from where I live, so I declined on that offer. The HR lady had told me during the phone conversation the day I declined that because of my background in transcription she asked if I would be interested in coding if a spot opened up, which she sa ...

As we all know, thanks to the way most MTSOs operate, there is currently a glut of experienced, talented, highly-qualified MTs who are looking for something better than just a chickenfeed job at a national. Some hospitals have begun to question the quality of work they're getting back from the nationals (and the HIPAA compliance), since ever-increasing amounts of the work those nationals have is getting offshored. & ...

There are good things about both sides. I get paid more inhouse but I have more free time with IC. ...

work for this, what would happen? Now is the time to stand up for what you deserve. ...

I am curious as to ways transcriptonists (of employee status, not ICs) might be advancing in their transcription careers other than being paid incentive line rates. I am thinking long-term. Do any of you get raises? If so, what kind? Are you paid per the line or hourly? Are there different levels of transcription in your place of employment with different pay scales? Do you make different rates for different dictators or work types? Are there any other kinds of advancement opportunities avai ...

I worked for LabCorp for 7 years - started at $14/hr - left 7 yrs later at $19.86/hour -- company has own credit card for employees - called a Clear Card - available to ALL employees - Regular working hours.

I was just informed that, even though I worked OT in my time zone (PST) and before my shift (second shift), their day is in CST, so anything after their midnight (CST) goes to the next day - that days and hours count in CST. Geez, maybe I should be working my shift in CST hours. That could be nice. I would get to start 2 hours earlier and stop at a more decent hour. This stinks like week-old fish, and I'm thinking the Calif EED might look at it a different way! ...

because when I find a line rate that is deplorable, I will email them back a scolding message how they should be ashamed of themselves and I would have applied to them but for that. Imagine if we all did that even when not looking for a job. ...

I edit radiology V.R. Reports and Had to post this one..This just goes to show you how well V.R. really works. It printed: Patient motion of skiers detail with multiple scans repeated multiple times to little of L. He said: Patient motion OBSCURES detail with multiple scans repeated multiple times to little AVAIL. Thank God this doctor knows he needs an editor. Most hospitals are letting the doctors "edit" their own work (which they don't do and just sign the stuff and let it go thru b ...

cause we are fighting for scraps of work. I bet whoever's idea that was got a big ol' bonus ...

Wow got an email about how great our TAT is. Care to wonder why? I get 1 report, finish that, and then spend the next 5 to 10 minutes pushing that freaking button hoping I get the next job before somebody else does, all the while our TL says how wonderful we all are to keep up that TAT and make her look good. Yeah she gets the bonus and I go on food stamps, what a wonderful company this is! ...

Just imagine if some of these terrible dictators had to go in and edit to fix their botched up VR reports for a while. I'm sure it would not take very long before they cleaned up that messy dictation. :) ...

If you are not sure leave a QA marker....but don't be not sure too many times or we will dock your pay! ...

Hope I don't get in trouble for posting, but this is too good to pass up, an Epic abstractor job. ...

It is very interesting to me, now that I have completed the Allied MT course, that grammar was were never taught, besides in high school. The BOS was required, but no emphasis was ever placed on needing excellent grammar skills. I am completely discouraged by the numerous negative and cynical remarks on this site. MT is a field I choose because I wanted a second career. I am a recent widow, and frankly feel very down because of the many of the comments. Still without a job and very discou ...

Please see the following article from - I think - Business Week, regarding the buy-out of Spheris. I think it should make us all breathe a little easier. It seems to clarify that there are 2 separate worlds, and that MQ intends to keep its U.S.-based transcription entirely separate from CBay's India-based transcription: Spheris, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Delaware court on Wednesday, already has two buyers lined up for the privately owned company: MedQuist Inc. ...

the work seems to disappear? I was doing over 400 lph and now no work. This happens every time I have great lph. Can companies do a switch-a-rooney, keeping the work away from people or can the platform be 'fixed' that if you hit a certain lph, no work will download to you? I'm really curious about this. I've been watching this happen for a couple months now. ...

So, I got this super long report with HORRIBLE audio. When I got finished it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese it had so many blanks. I didn't even CONSIDER sending it to QA as the audio was just terrible and there was NO way I was sending a report that long...and then get paid 3 cents a line because it might put me over 5% QA submission. So, I just sent it straight through, expecting to get a call from my CCM on why I sent so many blanks, which, of course I was prepared ...

I was an IC for her for a short while. She is great to work for but very quality driven, as she should be. The accounts are varied but very interesting. Here's her website: http://www.clktranscription.com/ I took a different medical transcription position and couldn't do both. That being said, contact her if you're looking for something different in ways of transcription subjects. ...

Why don't all of us who are tired of everything join forces and form our own company. We live all over the country, know how to do the work, know how to QA, know different platforms. Hundreds of us together could market our own vicinity and work together like a coop. We would all make the big bucks. It has to work, as we are the people who keep the large companies in business. Coops work with any other business, why not with this. What do you think ...

Great opportunity? - CAN

one word: - Yes

yes - you would be nuts

It would show unfathomably poor judgement, - to pass that up, IMO
