I think I'll stay in transcription for a bit longer

Saince Transcription no longer has a QA Staff. They let them all go about a month ago. The MTs have been divided into teams with a team leader who is doing all the QA for the team. This poor team leader is really doing the QA for nothing, they get an extra 10% on their cpl rate to offset doing the QA, but sounds like that could really cut down your production. The hospitals they type for don't even know it has happened which sounds illegal or at the very least unscrupulous. They signed ...

At my age, should I try to go to school for medical biilling/coding or just stay wtih transcription or try another job (JoAnn Fabrics, etc.). I am 54 and not sure what to do. Any ideas out there? If coding, what schooll(s) are good on-line or in AZ or OH? Thanks! ...

Heads up everyone Stay Clear of the wackos up at Alpha Transcription! They not only pay on the VBC but don't even know what it is or how to calculate it, have HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT, are the most disorganized company any MT could possibly work for! And they forget to tell you that you have to wait 45 days for your first paycheck! WARNING, WARNING, STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY! I lasted about 2 weeks, and then had enough! ...

I am so thankful that I am no longer with MM. I quit in May and it is the best decision I have made in a very long time. I got so tired of the unreasonable hours, the constant changing of hours/days. I got tired of the threats about quality (which is definitely unrealistic), then you get the threats about not having enough lines. I don't have to tell all of you what a terrible journey it is with MM. It is the kiss of death and it will never be any b ...

Okay! I've had enough. I was going to hang in longer but I am now being Aggressive and sending my resume out! I won't be doing MT work anymore -- that's for sure! Perhaps working at the local community college if not for the government. At this point, I don't really care what I do because anything is better than this! WooHoo! It's a AHAA movement for me. It won't be long now. Best of luck to those who chose to stay wit ...

I noticed today that the break pay section of the timesheet was gone today and when I clocked off a minute ago after working for 7 hours that in the "break" box, it said 0.00, when usually it would be 0.33. Anyone know? I know it's not a lot of money, but I usually get about 3 hours per pay period and about $30. I would hate to lose that, cause every dollar counts. ...

I'm told the low volumes are due to the time of the year. I just don't remember this happening in past years. My time sheet has 10-15 entries by the time of the day - this is nuts. Can't take no pay, can't use up all my PTO in a week. Seriously, what are we supposed to do? ...

of leaving out the word "a", this is ridiculous. Whenever I think about quitting I feel happy; whenever I think about working I feel sad, micromanaged. Life is TOO short. Just my short rant. ...

my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...

I have been looking for a job in the medical field in my city for nearly a year because I am soooooo tired of being an MT. Finally, I got a new job today! I am so fortunate as I live in a smaller town and there aren't many health care related jobs here. In two weeks I will start my new job as a claims examiner I have experience doing this years ago). Yippy! M-F 8-5, health insurance is free for employees, paid holidays, paid vacation, and steady work! To ...

Dont care who gets the reports to fix them but Im done..Takes too long to look in docqmanage to figure out who algekafhj, PAC is...too long to find you exact wording for your stupid closures...I am convinced that as long as we send them through QA and the doctor himself doesnt have to fix it, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE...Slow their day down a bit, they dont seem to mind slowing my money down... ...

contact them about my current company. I told them there is not a company out there that pays decent wages and I am lucky to bring home $150 a week currently. Maybe we can get ALL these MTSOs to pay decent wages! Finally! ...

for lousy dictators!! I am just fed up with being blamed for the dictator's inability to speak fluently. I am just NOT going to blame myself any longer, nor am I going to shoulder the blame from the MTSO. I am going to tell them talk to the doctors and I do not want to hear it again! ...

I just noticed today that my TL no longer shows up on my comagent. I always keep it open on my desktop and can tell who is on and who isn't and her name is always there regardless of whether she is working or not and then today all of a sudden her name is gone. Very strange. Her email address still shows up though ...

The Web/Nuance part has been told next year we have to buy our own Shorthand license. I know Transcend downloaded for me (and am still using at my PT job) shorthand licensed to MDI way back when. Will we get to keep that? If part of Nuance (Trans/Nuance) gets to have it provided free I would think they could figure a way to let the rest of us have it also. ...

Trying to figure out what you are saying by going through older reports..Speak correctly and normally and we will all get along much better...If I cant train ASR, and I cant, then Im gonna try and train the doctors..I crack myself up, they cant be trained either. Enjoy the blanks guys and gals.. ...

after all the comments about the layoffs I guess they decided to nix that option all togehter. you can comment on their posts/pictures but not write on their page. ...

This was in the ad on the Job Seekers board for Rad/Onc MLS for SmartType: "Windows XP is no longer HIPAA complaint [sp] and no longer supported by Microsoft" Has anyone else heard about this and if so, why is it no longer HIPAA compliant? ...

I went in to try and get an old report from DEP and all I can get is job submission stuff..anyone else? I rely pretty heavily on being able to pull up previous reports for crazy terms and this 30-day limit in Fluency is not cutting it. ...

24 to 48 hours to respond to you about testing results? I took the test Tuesday morning and am waiting on pins and needles. ...

Yes, I have seen this enough times that it no longer surprises me. There were 18 reports on my primary. I have an hour left of my shift. When I anticipated downloading the next one, all 18 were gone, gone, gone. It is upsetting. I would try adjusting my schedule but it would do no good, there normally is too little work during that time as it is. I already will be taking about 3 hours of PTO for being OOW on Sunday. It would be 4 but I have made up some ...

I know they have until tomorrow - but just wondering if current employees already have theirs - so I can contact company by 1st. By the way, I loved working for them, just had a change in personal situation. ...

Is anyone else having trouble achieving their daily goal since all the work has been pooled together here at Nuance? It takes me hours longer to get what I used to get. ...

I am currently an Exact-Med student. They give each student Speedtype. I had been using it, but my husband updated our Soundcard and then it said that my license for Speedtype was no longer valid. So I had to purchased a new llicense for a "new computer" since by updating the sound card it changed settings on our hard disk. Then we went on vacation and turned our computer off for 2 weeks and when I restarted it, it says my license is not good anymore....don't know why, but apparentl ...

just got the email from my HSDM. Don't want to copy word for word on here. ...

That's just great-- who can afford a new computer? Time to give up MT altogether. ...

them after next month. I wasnt reallly counting in all this new equiipment that I probably will have to buy. What can I do without spending a ton of money. I am thinking just to keep doing this and what happens happens. ...

I have gone back and looked at my post audits and since this new pay plan has gone into place, they have only 1 time edited a job that was over 100 lines (103 lines) all the rest are between 25 and 50 or so lines which I find quite ironic. They can say random all they want but this is in no way random. They pick the smaller reports so that even a 0.25 mistake has the biggest impact on us. Their games are so so petty for a so called company. They are clearly only out for t ...

I think I'll stay in transcription for a bit longer - typer

Some things are priceless - Ima MT

Happy at home too - sm

I think I'll stay. - Silly Rabbit
