I just received a test file in unencryped email with patient information - wow


Posted: Feb 22, 2010

It's from just an individual, but with patient name, DOB, and MRN # in it, I think it's a HIPAA violation.  I am not going to do the test or finish it because I've decided she's a risk.

Did anyone else receive a similar test?

had you considered the possibility that the patient information was made up specifically for the test document? This person could be that stupid as to use real information unencripted...but maybe it is all fictitious? If you are that concerned, why don't you just ask her? just my opinion, but....

I just received a test - Do you think.....

that is is possible this person is testing you not only on transcription skills but also trying to see if you would totally ignore the HIPAA violation? If I was really interested in the job, I would certainly ask about it.

I Just Received An Email From An MT From India...
May 30, 2015

who must have gotten my email address from a resume I posted on one of the job sites.  In the email, this MT makes a business proposition.  Stating he/she (not sure!) would search for IC MT jobs and forward them to me.  I would then apply and take the test.  The ultimate goal is that I would get the job and then pay him a percentage of the line rate to transcribe the work. I was a little taken aback.  In my 22+ years in this business, I have never received any ...

Patient First Test - No Idea

I have no idea how I did because I don't know what they are looking for in their testing.  It is obvious they want to see how you handle difficult dictators.  I had to leave some blanks, which most companies would prefer you to do.  I just wonder how many people level several blanks in the test and still got hired?  I especially had to leave 2 or 3 blanks on the guy who whispers.  Turned the volume all the way up on my computer and still could not make out parts of his dictation wit ...
