wanting to start coding classe

I've been MT for 13 years...but since the whole profession has gone down the tubes, I really want to find something else to do. I'm thinking of coding. Going to check out my local community college and see what they have to offer but also would like input on a good coding course. There has to be something better than what I am doing now. I cant work for peanuts much longer...Thanks! ...

I am wanting to start coding in the next month. I have a question though. Does it make a difference if you have a certificate or associates in it? Is one better than the other? ...

Can anyone give me an idea where to start and how to choose an online class for coding? I've looked at so many and need a better idea of what the most important aspect I am looking for is? Andrews, Codingcertificate.org, Careerstep, etc. HELP please! ...

Dear Friends: I am 56 and I am a medical transcriptionists of 11 years and I am very interested in broadening my career and pursuing a career in medical coding. I am interested in the Andrew's School. I have two questions. My first is what is the future of medical coding, i.e., will it be done offshore in the future like transcription and will it be replaced by the EMR. The second question is am I tool old for training& ...

I am going to start training in coding ASAP. I have been a transcriptionist for many years in house, and it is time for me to go. My hospital does not offer tuition assistance for coding. I need advice. CCS versus CPC -- which is better paying or is there a difference? I work with someone with a CPC-A. Is that apprentice degree something you HAVE to do, because I'd rather avoid that as much as possible. CareerStep Versus Andrews -- From what I can tell, CareerStep is affilli ...

Is it possible to finish a coding course and then start working from home? I don't want to work in house. ...

Dear Friends: I am 55 and I am a transcriptionist of almost 11 years and I want to switch carreers and am choosing medical coding and want to enroll in the Andrew's School. Do you think I am too old to start a new career? I do not think so, but I would like some thoughts. I am healthy and I know I can do it. Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Fondly, Suzie ...

I'm one of those that had a high enough test score to get into MModal's program but didn't quite make it. I had already been looking at one of the Coding schools but wanted to give myself a week or so to think it over and not make a knee jerk move after being passed over by MModal. Today, I picked up the phone and signed on with the school I've had my eye on and I start on Monday! I'm actually reeeeally excited - and surprisingly I'm actually feeli ...

My start menu is in the upper right hand corner and the desk top is on the side. How can I fix it? ...

I've been a MT for 10 years. Not long compared to a lot of people on here, but unfortunately for me it has become a nigtmare instead of the job I once loved. The last couple years with the change to SR has cost me approximately $10.00 per hour. I am the only income in my home raising 3 children, on the verge of losing the house... Same old sad story all over the country I suppose. I'm looking for some advice on other jobs that can be ...

Hello MT'S out there HELP HELP HELP! Im wanting to become like you, an Mt and preferrably to work from home. I'm trying to find out about about schools/training: accredited, financial aid, online. I'd be interested to know how, who, and what to go about it. If I'm able to go by financial aid, i want to pick the right school/training. I would hate to just pick a school and find out its not the right one and would be wasing the financial aid money. I google and i� ...

I have seen some companies hiring that use an FTP program. Can anyone give me some more info on them? I know it is a file transfer program, but exactly how does it work and is it easy to learn? Can you get free programs to load? What is the best one? Thanks! ...

I'm in the RNP program. Here are 3 quick (2 yrs) degrees that are also paying pretty well. Just FYI.

I am looking for a job as a medical transcriptionist. I like to work through my home. I am attended college at Kaplan University, so I have not got my degree yet, but I believe I could do the work. I am wanting to know how would I get started. ...

telling you what hours they want you to work? Just saw the latest job posting. I could never work for a company like that. I mean sure you can ask me if I can do it but to tell me. If that company cannot afford to hire employees then you shouldn't be accepting hospital accounts. I am glad I work for a company that says, "We can't tell you what hours to work as an IC." It makes you feel respected. Isn't that illegal anyway? Can someone tell me? ...

I am wanting to start getting my own clients again (haven't done that since I picked up and delivered, printed, etc.!!!) but know nothing about the dictation portion of it. How do you get an FTP site? Where do you go to get the dictation set up and be able to transcribe it? What other things do I need to do for that? Help! Thank you all :) ...

What types of jobs can still be done from home and make a reasonable wage? I've been a MT for 15 years, making less money now than I did my first months, and just really wanting to leave. I would like to find something that can still be done from home, if anyone has any legitimate ideas... ...

Cheap, cheap, cheap. You should pay your peeps. You could tell the clients NTS cannot keep up with work because people are jumping ship like rats from a hot fire. Perhaps management (upper, way upper I mean) could explain instead of the TLs having to do it, that they needed so much money to take to the bank they had to cut the pay of all their employees, now they have green, not as speedy, uninitiated MTs doing the work. Most of the good ones have fled the scene. And here's another rant: ...

I am wanting to start my own MTSO and have my own clients. I need someone who has done this already to be sort of a mentor for me. If all you are going to say is "dont do it" or "it really sucks" or other stuff like that, please save it. I just need advice on how to get started, who makes the decisions in clinics and offices, and so on... Thanks in advance... MTdude ...

I currently have Vista. I was eligible for the Windows 7 upgrade. If I put Windows 7 on my computer, will I lose my programs, like my Shorthand, Kodak, my work programs used for typing? Thanks ...

It is extremely easily to apply for unemployment insurance. Medquist has not fought one single claim to date. I think everybody should start trusting the government a little more! Medquist got in trouble for legal reasons not because somebody said something bad about them. You have to train full time to qualify for TAA. They pay you while you train, but face it, at some point to go to school full time....you might have to quit the Q! Who you gonna trust? ...

I'm interested in possible payment posting or claim refiling work from home. I have 5+ years experience in Internal Medicine and 1+ year experience in Orthopaedic Surgery. I am proficient in many programs and need little training in new systems. Have held PRN telecommuting billing job for 9 months and would love more work. Please respond to this post if you are looking for someone to fill a similar position. Thanks. ...

I started back when it was DDI. Anyone remember that? We had 2 accounts, 1 primary, 1 secondary. We rarely were without work. I absolutely loved it and we ALL KNEW our accounts inside and out. Changes came the last few years and not all good. You all know how difficult working for MM is so I won't go into that. Two summers ago I "thought" and was lead to believe, I would be able to work part-time at my local hospital. I was continuously told it all "looked like a go." For 5 months it "looke ...

As my mind wanders through the shift, I was thinking do the young people still want to do this for a living? Are these medical transcription schools still in existence and telling people they can make a wonderful living at this? I just wonder if, in the next 10 years or so, as the oldtimers (like me) retire or go work at Wal-Mart, what is going to happen in this wonderful career choice? Will they have to actually start paying a decent wage just to get people to do this? O ...

S.E. White, I would hope would have said the name of the paper she is writing this article for and if quoted where we can find it, if all is legit. She posted this question on the Tuesday it was supposedly due at 2 a.m. She was looking here at MTStars for an article due by noon that same day? Hummm. Questionable, but then again nobody would believe we have to have a report done in 2 hours for 4 cents either, and the patient still will not get the results from the doctor in ...

Hi, I currently work full-time at a University Hospital in Iowa in the Department of OB/GYN and have been transcribing in this department for 8 years. I transcribe for the residents and since their notes are so detailed I have experience in typing about other medical conditions besides just gynecology/ob related. I have an hour commute one way and I am seriously thinking of quitting this job and trying at-home transcription so I can be closer to my daughter during the day. She ...

I'm seeing pay rates all over the place on this board and I'm just curious as to what others are receiving. I'm an independent contractor. I have a lot of psychiatric accounts but they only pay 10 cents a line (65 characters, of course). That's a decrease from my standard rate a few years ago (but supply and demand made me reduce my rate). Because I'm a fast typist and the psychiatric work is easy, I easly make $30 an hour when I'm focused.I've ...

Hello, Worked as an MT from 1994 until 2010. Starting have problems with my hands in 2003. Becoming an editor saved my life in 2005 and was able to work on broken hands a couple more years. The editing became even more painful with changing every other word, pay went down, and I found myself with a repetitive stress injury (tendinitis). Lost my workers comp case, although doctor said injury was caused by being an MT for 16 years, however, judge wasn't hearing it as workers comp had ...

will read this. If you are going to place an ad, at least state the pay rate. If you do not do that and someone goes ahead and tests, only to find out the pay is horribly low (7-8 cpl), you are going to have one very irritated MT who will tell others to stay away. Also, you need to state the platform and the computer specs! Otherwise, I am not going to waste my time even sending a resume much less testing. ...
