How much do the cert. tests below cost?

I am RHIT eligible and would definitely need a refresher before I took the test. If I am looking for coding positions, would it be better to have a coding certification or the RHIT? Does it matter? ...

I must have missed something. Today I get an email telling me I have to go through some certification process to work on an account I've been working on for the last several years. Was this mentioned prior to this? Nothing was said on the last conference call about it that I recall. I think this is getting a little ridiculous. First the mandatory conference calls, now this. What's next? Seriously, I'm about ready to quit. Maybe that' ...

Applying for a new job is a job in and of itself these days. Is anyone else having this ?? All these tests on these job applications. They are sometimes hours long. Some of these test reports are HARD. They are harder than most I do now. I work for MW now. I don't really have time to go through all these tests for hours and hours for FREE. I'm thinking of just not doing it and forgetting about that particular application. One of them I really was interested in too but what if I do all ...

Do any of you know what's involved in setting up a virtual private network and what the cost would be? It seems that companies hiring MTs to transcribe into their clients' EMR are requiring the MT to use a VPN. Would I need a special computer for this? Thanks for any advice. ...

I'm eligible to sit for the CMT and the RHIT and both exams are over $200 to take. It feels like I'm buying credentials! Why are these certification exams so much money to take and keep up! It's ridiculous! What do you pay for? ...

With the update to 6.1, I began having computer crashes. When I logged on to DQS, my screen went black 5 times before it loaded. It did this every time. After a week, when I finished my shift and went to check my email, the computer completely froze. Took it to the computer shop, and the guy said he deleted some of the programs in my "service program." All was well for exactly 2 weeks, although I still had the black screen problem when loading DQS. The same thing h ...

What are others on Cobra doing w/regards to high deductible? At this, I won't be able to afford any meds. ...

Please, no lectures! Not for me, but for my niece, who is just looking for a little extra cash, as her hubby is bringing in good income and she was thinking about doing what I do. I was so lucky to learn on the job, on-site, almost 20 years ago. How long would training be for the minimum tier, or whatever they call it now, and approximately what would the cost be? Thank you. ...

I don't think many with experience would accept .02 CPL. I would imaging this forces MTSOs to train newbies. I'm sure they have to pay QA far more than .04 CPL to correct and go over the work. Even if they did pay QA only .04 CPL to do this, they are paying at least .06 CPL total. By the time the new editor is sufficiently trained to go off 100% QA they have had more than enough time to realize that they will never make a living doing this kind of work, the lies ...

Help!!! Okay, I've been working PT for MQ for 7 long years. I am considering going FT just for the benefits because no one can live off of minimum wage. Because information on open enrollment will not be available until late April/May for June 2011, I need to know if the rates normally go up and by about how much? Please, I only want to hear from MQ (not recently new to MQ from Spheris or non-MQ people) people who have been full time for the ...

Avoid Saince. They are intrusive, constantly calling and they don't pay. They hijacked my PC for 33-1/2 hours and their paperwork said they pay $10 an hour and then today I was told they only pay a flat rate $100. HELLO!! THEY OWE ME $335 BEFORE TAXES THANK YOU! They pay by black character only which means you don't get paid for spaces so you type 22 reports a day and average about 600 lines. Nice! When asked if you get paid according to the line co ...

Can anyone tell me what the approximate cost of an individual health insurance plan is with Synernet? What about the QA system --- helpful or adversarial? Also, saw a previous comment about schedules -- do they require strict adherence or is there some flexibility? ...

Does anyone know what the current cost of COBRA is for the highest level of insurance (the "better" one) that Nuance offers is for a single person? (Well, single in that no other members are claimed.) I've been offered an IC job that pays very well, but I have to keep my insurance (as crappy as this policy is). I know I can get healthcare through the marketplace thingy, but I'm wondering if I just needed to take COBRA for a bit, how much would it cost. Please only respond ...

Can someone give me at least a ballpark figure for the course? I don't want to send and email and/or call just yet....still not even sure I can afford to do this. :) Thanks! ...

I'm interviewing with this company this week. Can anyone give me recent experience with this company? Is the pay fair? How user-friendly is their system? Can you give me info on medical benefits such as deductible, percentages, or cost for single? Really any recent information is very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you! ...

MedQuist was able to provide significant transcription cost reductions while providing a solution that fully integrates with Mercy's EHR technology. Article states this and came out today. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/medquist-deepens-role-in-sisters-of-mercys-ehr-deployment-strategy-expanding-cost-saving-clinical-documentation-services-and-technology-2011-07-21?reflink=MW_news_stmp Not only do we give our hard earned money to the board of directors, but also some MQ staff mem ...

I didn't see a cost differential for difficult dictators in the new plan? Did anyone else? So you can work day shift with the lowest tier and have the crappiest dictator around but still get lowest pay. And isn't it lovely that the new rate will be on the Dec. 26 paycheck? I guessing there may be a mass exodus in January. ...

Interesting read. I found this October 2008 article in which our own company (formerly Medquist) is mentioned. Here is the link: http://www.online-crc.com/content.cfm?content_id=220556 Just a few excerpts from the article: The problem is worse in other countries where U.S. law doesn’t apply and protection against the risk of medical identity theft is minimal or nonexistent. “We need tougher laws for outsourced companies in other countries.” “The ris ...

I currently work at Nuance. Was a TL (transcription lead), now in Quality, getting paid hourly. Everyone is moving to production pay soon which is scaring the bejesus out of us all. Is the difference in salary as a coder (even as entry level) worth it enough to invest in schooling and change careers or should I just be looking for an entirely different career? How long before you can start making more? How hard is it to get licensed? I am a pretty quick study ...
