Actually you NEEDED a signed agreement before you typed a word. I just don't understand MTs that don't know how to run a business if you are running a business.

I so agree with you. So many people hang out their MT shingle without even knowing what an IC is, what the Tax Code says, or having an agreement. I have said it before and will beat the drum again: Anybody working needs to invest in one hour with a business attorney and one hour with a CPA. You can get a simple contract drafted and get your tax situation set up correctly. I just cringe when people say "I can't afford to do that." They cannot afford NOT to do that. I truly cannot believe that in this day and time that anybody would work without a written agreement or a memorandum of understanding.

I was wondering if I should change the verbs in this paragraph so they are all the same tense. "He understood and agreed to proceed. On the left lateral decubitus position, the patient was sedated...video colonoscope is advanced into the rectum and up to about 30 cm. Soft solid stool is encountered at this point...scope was slowly withdrawn..." Should I change these so they match or leave it the way he dictated it? ...

One more morning, and I've logged in to find no work. Granted, it's the end of a pay period and folks have probably been up all night trying to capitalize on what few lines there have been.

This is getting desperate, because unless some work comes in today -- I won't make my lines for another pay period (this will be the third in a row). ...

I have been doing MT for over four years now and have been working for other MTSOs. I am now ready to try to get my own contracts and have been doing lots of research, but what I can't seem to find out is who is responsible for providing a HIPAA agreement, me or the doctor (covered entity). I found on the Department of Health & Human Services website some sample contract language, but I'm just not clear if I need to put language in my contract with the doctor to cover this , or if the ...

will not comment about a company, including their payroll practices, here or on any social media? I know why the stipulation is there, since the company has not paid on time EVER and they were trashed here because of it, but if someone comes on the board and asks about the company, I would feel it within my rights to warn that person that if you need a reliable pay day, this is not the place. I have until Saturday to decide if I sign this document. I'm thinking about walking away anyway. ...
