Pricing Specialist...sm - boosa
Posted: Apr 23, 2010
Is a pricing specialist basically the same as a medical biller? Is this a good entry-level job to break into coding? Does it count as experience?

No, a pricing specialist is not a biller. It is not an entry-level position.
I can't tell you exactly what this person will do without seeing the job description, but this type of job typically entails a highly skilled evaluation of market prices, third-party payer requirements, and the costs of doing business with the intent to establish a charge for services.
I see how much these large MTSO's pay per line for VR editing(so insulting!). I will be bidding for VR work for the first time. As a small MTSO, I have know idea how much I should charge. Any ideas? Thanks. ...
Sorry if this is a duplicate - I typed this out once and then I was told message didn't go, so I'm trying again.
Two of the doctors I transcribe for have begun faxing me a lot of paperwork, the other day I received 40 pages from one doctor.
Is there a "typical" rate to charge for faxing so that I can recoup my paper and ink expense? So far I have been just "rounding up" my time.
Thanks. ...
Just found out company has sold transcription account to Acusis. What is the formula for figuring out how much per billable characters equal an hourly rate? I'm going from hourly to per character and have no clue how to figure out what is a good price to keep my current income level. I type about 130 lines per hour. ...
Please don't ask me to read the board. I have. I just need a straight, honest answer and no bashing. I need to know if a cpl line rate is fair for QA. You have to send feedback, have some MTs on full edit, etc. I just don't see making any money, but I would like to hear from others who may be doing the same thing. Thanks a bunch!! ...
I know to use numbers instead of spelling them out but in a case like:
"This is one situation where I would refer to a specialist"
Would I use the number 1 or spell it out? Thanks!

I graduated as a medical transcription, but after some confusion, I found out I'm really a "Medical Language Specialist"? Right? Is there a difference? I know about Medical Language Editors, but this is a new one on me. Is that the key to job searching? ...
The job posting on the job seeker's board sounds fishy to me. It says "no phone calls, please" but there's no phone number or company name even listed! I bet it's one of those scammers that want us to give THEM money, and then they'll let us work for them. ...
Hello, I am currently a HDS student and have a few questions about what happens after post graduation.
What is the lowest, medium, and highest pay that an HDS gets a week, month and year for Nuance?
...
Please beware of this company. They are literally preying on medical transcriptionists who are having a difficult time finding and keeping a good job (which I think is happening more and more to people who have been doing this for a long time). Anyway, I received an e-mail from them after 9:00 p.m. this evening, a phone call from them (which I didn't answer) and then an e-mail following the phone call. So we have blocked them. They want a fee from MTs, and they will ...
A job opening posted for Pediatric Transcriptionist and states must obtain Pediatric Care Specialist certification, company paid training. Does anyone have this? How does one obtain this certification and where? Thanks for any information! ...
Ahima certainly gives it a different spin than MT, and an article at Study.com lists desired or common requirements as associate's or bachelor's degree, with nursing, HIM, or health information technology, and medical coding expertise.
So where does Nuance get off expecting "lowly" MTs to do this stuff, with 100% flawless accuracy, on lowly MT pay having to Google everything? I mean, they do not even pay us enough to be "lowly" MTs, and yet expect us to Google and verify that do ...
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has replied to the ad, worked for the company, or knows anyone who has. I wouldn't mind scheduling patients from home. Just wondering if they are good to work for, what the pay is like, etc. Anybody have any info? ...
A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly. They are NOT an MTSO company. They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients.
They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you. You should NEVER pay to work ...
