Is it just me or have MTSOs stopped the stupid testing?

Ugh, I never encountered this before. I have some different accounts. There is this INANE gender check which kicks out he or she if it is not the patient's gender. OMG, the dumas people who have nothing better to do and set this up apparently do not realize males may have mothers or girl friends and vice versa. I'm so sick of wasting my time fixing the worthless things they have set up to make things "easier" for us. We'd be better off if maybe t ...

I had it all. The job I wanted through SOAP Transcription. One little thing got me fired and I don't want it to happen to any of you regardless if you're new or a veteran of the field. Most of us at home workers, with whomever we work for, have rules about the internet. That being said, I was towards the end of my shift last Sunday, and wanted to check the score of a football game. I figured it was only once, what could it hurt. Well, now I know, all too painfully. I wasn't ...

401k contributions? I know they had a 50% match back a long time ago when I was first hired. I heard something about them not matching anymore? Anyone know if this is true? I wouldn't be surprised with what they have already and continue to take from us. Watching Suze Orman show; she says if your company doesn't match to stop contributing and start a Roth IRA. ...

Has anyone been an MT, MME, and ASR and then quit doing the MME part and gone back to just MT and ASR work? If so, did it make any difference in your paycheck for better or worse? How did your workflow change? Are you glad you quit doing MME work or would you like to go back to it again? Also, has anyone actually switched positions within MModal or Medquist from being an MT to something like a virtual customer service representative or something that is still ...

On a recent transcription test I was informed that it was not used by that facility anymore. Just curious if it was particular to them or a new thing I have not heard of. ...

What would happen if every single MT stopped transcribing for one day? How much money would they lose? ...

Just got an email from our manager saying they are stopping the program for the next week or so until they get the bugs worked out. We are supposed to type until they figure out their next step. Some of the students still don't have the encoder program. I think a big part of it is because of the ruling to delay ICD9. Who knows if it will start back up again. Will keep you guys posted. ...

Anyone willing to tell if it is multiple dictations, how many, etc. Were you able to get foot pedal to work with it? any info helpful. ...

In the middle of a dictation when I pressed the pedal it wouldn't stop the dictation. Now it won't play anything. I've had it a few years and never had any problems. I restarted the computer, even did a system restore, and still not working. I downloaded the driver just in case it mysteriously decided to go away. Is there any way to test to see if it's defective? ...

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio stopping? I was in the middle of a report and my audio stopped playing. I checked my foot pedal and all seems well there. I even tried to use the CTRL space to make it play...nothing. Interestingly, the FF and REW functions appear to be working fine. Thanks in advance!! ...

that the failing audit stuff has stopped. Was this an effort to get us to slow way the heck down so they could lower our PTO rate? ...

would ty to keep the workers they have at least a little happier. One would think they've already lost enough experienced MTs! And with ASR/VR continually getting worse - just what kind of reports will there be when we're all gone. ...

I refuse to talk to Phil in India, does anyone have the instructions on how to hook it up so I can reinstall it? Please ...

really miss that keyboard, I can't remember its name but they quit making it about 5-6 years ago. Does ayone know of a comparable one? Where you barely touch the keys and there is no click? ...

All of the sudden Microsoft Word 2007 stopped checking grammar. I went to proofing and the box is checked for "Hide grammar errors in this document only." However, the box cannot be unchecked. It is like this for all documents, even new ones. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks so much. ...

They are chastizing us for making minimum wage "too often;" can they possibly believe that after we were used to making $40,000+ a year that we have just become lazy and are happy with making minimum wage? They don't see the irony that a job this difficult and that takes so much training and experience pays us the same as taking orders at Burger King? I can't even wrap my head around such denseness. Yeah, keep griping at us for making minimum wage, that ought to ...

On every job I got tonight the doctors say exactly what they said in plain English... but Mr. ASR puts something different or leaves huge chunks out! Every job! I'm sitting here like.... really ASR? Really??? You didn't catch the 6 words before he said "hospital" and he was speaking normal? Is it just ASR being stupid or is this the MASTER PLAN of MQ? ...

This is something that has been bothering me. I feel stupid asking, but since it's rather important, I ask. cpl Currently, I am making 0.083 per line typed. I see people stating things like 7 cpl or .8 cpl. Does that equate to 7.0 per lined type (seems crazy!) and 0.8 per line typed? I'm currently being offered incentive pay for working on my days off. They stated 0.5 cpl extra per line typed. Since I have to enter my own pay and production, I'm just confused a ...

For the last week or so, every time I try to read a thread on this site, the U-Verse ad throws me to the bottom of the page and back up about a dozen times. I can't make sense of any of the postings. I've tried opting out and changing my settings on "Tools," but it keeps coming back. Help!!!! ...

Did any of you get an email from MModal or your TSM on how to change your company code in Fluency Manager so that it would reflect the new code and allow you access to DEP? Did your TSM have you check this and check for your expansions before the go live? I can still access the DEP portion of Fluency and perform searches, see backlog, all the same functions I had before. No one said anything about restricting our access. She had us make the changes and test it before the ...

Is transcribing Acute Care notes that much different than clinical notes? I currently transcribe for a family practice and gastro docs who do colonoscopies and minor procedures and have typed for oncologists and cardiologists, gyns, ophthalmologists. Can it really be that much different? I'm asking because I think I could do it. I am a fairly quick learner and have a good grasp of terminology and worked in a rehab hospital and was exposed to a lot of H&P, discharge sum ...

Looking at an ad that says "Required skills are transcribing 1000 HIM lines (65 character lines) or 2000 MI lines per day." Is there anyone who can translate HIM and MI for me? Pretty sure HIM is standard transcription and thinking MI is somehow related to VR, but I guess I'm just too old school to understand new acronyms! ...

Does anybody ever get a raise or do we only get the amount we started at indefinitely? Just curious. It seems that the longer we are with a company and doing more work with better quality we would be compensated accordingly. I'm sure that is not the case, but just wondering and kind of dreaming about maybe getting a different job where you can advance instead of go down in pay!! Thanks. ...

but I'll ask anyway. I'm "old school" and think I need to give notice leaving a job, however if I accept a position elsewhere, will Medquist just cut me loose immediately the day or next day after giving notice? ...

This probably sounds really dumb, but we click the "like" button on a post, is it to like the post or to like the ad choice. Only reason I ask is on the left of "like" it says "ad choices" w/ an arrow pointing to "like." Maybe I've had too many leftovers today. ...

pain foraminal valley? Really? After 5+ years? deep PAIN thrombosis? Paradoxical ambulance (embolus) Drives me absolutely nuts. Wasn't all of this stuff supposed to be LEARNED sometime in the last decade? DocQScribe 8 of whatever is their only concern????? ...

My inactive time is HUGE. I just came over from another company that was pretty bad about training. I learned DQS on my own without any help whatsoever. Are we supposed to clock out each and every time we leave the computer for more than a few seconds? I'm talking about running to the bathroom and getting a drink or answering the phone. I can't imagine what else is making all this inactive time for me, and I honestly have no idea if I'm supposed to be clocking out each and ev ...
