Is anybody getting enough work from this company (FutureNet Technologies Corp.) to make a living lately? Am I the only person finding such a drastic lack of work at all hours of the day and most days of the week? For the record, I work on multiple accounts. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Both the traditional transcription work and speech recognition work is drastically lower in volume over the last couple of months, and not just occasionally. Thanks for any information, as ...
I just saw an ad on another board where Medical INK Corp. was hiring for QA but only paying 50 cents per job!!! REALLY???? I would hope this is just for filling in blanks not 100% QA. Does any one have any info regarding their QA positions? ...
Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...
Knowing the business for 35 years and still thinking it is okay to pay MTs 7.5 cpl to USE them to teach the VR Dragon for 30 days and then drop you down to 3.5 cpl and double the linecount? Long term career? Oh, owner was an MT. Makes one feel warm and cozy...not. ...
Hi, Can someone tell me which is correct? 'suspected of driving under the influence' or 'suspected for driving under the influence'. I think it is 'of', but not sure why this is so. Thanks. ...
I am not familiar with VR and have never used it, but I understand that there is a difference between voice recognition (VR) and speech recognition (SR). I am told the difference is that with VR the program has to be trained because it goes by voice only, sort of like us getting used to different dictators when we start a new account.
SR is supposedly different in that it goes by speech alone, meaning I guess, just the actual words dictated and is not affected by voice differences.
Does ...
Hi, I have a dictator going over the patient's hypertension. At the end of the section he says (BMP/BNP) was unremarkable. I have no values, so I don't know if it was a single test or multiple. If he's talkign about hypertension, I would think that BNP would be feasible, but it really sounds more like BMP. Any help is great! ...
If you were offered 9 cents for straight transcription and 7 cents for ASR, which would you prefer to do...editing at 7 cpl or transcription at 9 cpl or both? If you had to do both, but at given rates, would that be satisfactory? ...
I've been marked wrong on QA because I typed "5 out of 5" (as dictated) instead of transcribing it as 5/5 (which I would have typed if the doc had said "5 over 5"). What is your opinion on this? Any proof one way or the other in BOS? I haven't been able to find it ... ...
I have a question for you coders out there. I decided I want to make a career change from MT to coding. My question is, is it realistic to expect to pass the CCS exam after completing Andrews or other online schools? I looked into AHIMA's courses they recommend on their website and they only train you to take the CCA exam (Career Step and Kaplan). I want to be a CCS and not waste my money training for CCA. I don't see job listings for C ...
I have read the rules on when to use an and a and it seems to me that it should be "a MRI" and not "an MRI". Is this correct? I was marked wrong on Medquist (Momodal) for typing a MRI.

When physician clear dictates "emergency deparment" why does ASR continue to put "emergency room?" I suspect it is because ED has fewer characters than ER, hence, less pay, and this is easily overlooked if one is not focused. I see it so much that I have an expansion to change "room" to "department." Anyone have any other ideas why this is? ...
Hi there,
Is anyone here able to tell me where I can find a reference in BOS 3 about using lowercase c in A1c? I cannot find it anywhere!
Thanks so much! ...
Ok, so I have been an MT for over 14 years. I have an opportunity in QA. Trying to find out what the QA pay rate normally runs and if its better than being an MT. Any info would be greatly appreciated. ...
I know when in doubt defer to what the physician prefers. But suddenly we have one doctor replacing "an" with "a," and is just doesn't sound right. I was always taught to us a when followed by a consonant and an when followed by a vowel. Apparently this is incorrect, the rule is a when followed by word that "sound" like a consonant and an when followed by words that "sound" like a vowel. See the rule below:
