Medical Billers AT HOME

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe? I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before. The scribe position starting pay is almost double what I make as an MT per hour so it is very tempting, I just don't know much about it. ...

In previous posts I mentioned that I was let go of a home medical transcription job because I didn't produce the "perfect" amount of work that was needed right away... Anyways, as I mentioned previously, I got this home medical transcription job only a month after I graduated from Rasmussen College and was let go just last month. The story was, when she first hired me she said it would take me 6 months to get perfect at my job, then after the first month she told me she needed me to be per ...

Any info would be greatly appreciated. ...

I was trained as a Medical Transcriptionist at a two-year college from 1990 to 1992. I worked at a hospital for a couple of years doing radiology, non-invasive cardiology, and neurology transcription, then I got married and moved. Soon thereafter, I started work at a mental health clinic as a Medical Transcriptionist with 12 other transcriptionists. This was in late 1993 and I am still there as of right now. The 12 transcriptionists have either left or been laid off over ...

Hi. I am an MT turned IT consultant implementing EMR/billing software for a doctor's office. Regarding electronic clearinghouse services, are they worth it? I know that Medicare, Medicaid, and BCBS have their own interfaces at no cost, so I am wondering if it is worth the setup time to go that route or if a clearinghouse makes things so easy that it is worth the monthly fees. If you prefer the clearinghouse, why, and which service(s) have you used? Thanks in advanc ...

I am current in school as a medical insurance specialist and we have a group project that we are struggling in. We have to research what a medical biller/coder does in an office of approximately 3-4 physicians, if they even do their own billing. These days, many smaller doctor's offices just send out their billing so it is kind of hard to find. If you do billing/coding in an office, could you help? What are your general duties? Do you also do front desk work or ...

I just did a report that outlined, in great detail, something that my dad went through several years ago. He died last year and I guess with father's day coming up I am just missing him a lot. I think that was the hardest report I have ever done! I stopped in the middle of it and just lifted that patient up in prayer and asked that his family not have to go through what mine did. I miss my dad!!!! I had to stop working a few minutes early because I just can't st ...

What do your QA people actually do? I have two jobs, as I've said before. Both outsource pieces of their work and at both I wonder just what it is that the QA people do? At both I really wonder how the MT even got their job at all but I really wonder what the QA people do! At the hospital, we send the op reports out, probably 60 a day. They get done by a company owned by the former Q but they claim they're done in America. Every day we come in to 50 of t ...
