Patient slow to respond

I have had no work this entire week. The only day I got to work that I was scheduled was Sunday. Since then, NJA for my ENTIRE shift EVERY DAY!! I sent an email to my CCM stating that I cannot continue like this. I want to know why I am not getting any work and if it is because our accounts don't have any work, I want to be put on an account that DOES have work. I have emailed and emailed and called and called, and she doesn't respond (not that this is new, mind you ...

I agreed to do a STAT job that was only to be 90 min of dictation within a 24-hour period of time. When I first responded to do this job, I was told they found someone else to do it. I then recieved a phone stating that the original transcriptionist bailed on her and could I do it. However, not only did she want the 90 min dictation she wanted a 31 min multi-speaker consultation as well, STAT. The audio was sent in a format that was not compatible with a foot pedal. I did the 31 min job, ...

Hi, I'm considering filing intermittent FMLA for chronic photophobia. Periodically I cannot look at the monitor and thus cannot work because of it. I have 8 hours PTO left and if I am out of PTO, I need FMLA to cover me taking off without pay. I'm a good producer, show up and work my schedule, high quality, and handle 4 accounts on a weird evening/weekend shift (my choice of work times) so that I do not run out of work. Previous to this year, I was rarely OOW, but now eve ...

Was just wondering if any of you submitted a response to their ad and heard back from them. Thanks! ...

I have been invited to test with Precyse. I was just wondering of any current Precyse MTs could tell me if Precyse is a good company to work for, i.e. pay on time, straight typing or speech rec, good platform, responsive management/TL, benefits any good, vacation time available, etc. I am currently working for a good company but the days/hours stink; so, don't want to jump into the fire so to speak. Thanks so much for your response ahead of time. ...

I have 2 questions that I wold really love some feedback on. It's not important how long I have been transcribing, the fact is that I have worked for some major MTSOs over the years and the llongest I have ever been on 100% QA is 3-4 weeks, more likely 1-2 weeks. Now that I am starting my second month with Nuance I have been placed on 3 separate aaccounts. The first 2 I was fine with, but then they sent me an emial stating that I would be switched over to a new go-live acc ...

Yes, I know we get lots of these questions every day but here's one I don't think has been touched on lately. I was recently approached by an old employer about giving my information to another MD for transcription work. I told her that she can definitely give out my info if she new someone that needed transcription work done. I didn't really think it would go anywhere, as that's the way it happens in this town, nothing ever comes to fruition. However, today I g ...

I have put in a request for time off and have been told that I need to find coverage for that day. I am a subcontractor. Is this normal? ...

From reading post after post on the New MTs Board, it seems like one of the main reasons a lot of people chose the Medical Transcription field is because they were lured in by the “work at home, when you want” dream. But when reading through the job opening ads, any type of flexibility is usually reserved for Independent Contractor positions, and IC positions usually want lots of experience so the MT can work with little or no supervision. On top of that, at least in my opinio ...

I just got an email about these positions. Sounds good to me. I only want part-time work, so this would be right up my alley. The pay is kind of low in the beginning, but they do raise you to 8 c/l after probation. not too shabby huh??? What opinions are there here regarding this company? Good, bad or otherwise??? I saw their web site here and it sounds okay, but then you never know. Anyone currently working for this company now???? ...

an application? I submitted one at least 2 weeks ago... and it was no easy process as I couldn't log into the system, yada, yada. So, that makes me even wonder if they got my app and resume. But is it normal that they take forever to respond? Or is it normal if they don't want you, that they just ignore you? I just would prefer closure. I know Nuance well, as far as I know its not the dream job, to say the least. Just wondering what's up w ...

How do I respond to the Psych Eval MT position? There is no email address given in the post and when I try to reply by MT Stars email it gives me a failure notice. Thanks! ...

I am still a student, so I am still very naive about a few things involving this grand new venture. But, since I am almost done with my 4th module at Andrews and getting ready to tackle the certification exams, I have been doing a lot of research and reading about people obtainng their first coding jobs or something in HIM. I read one scenario where the employer was telling of how she narrows it down to 3 candidates. Of course, if one goes into an interview and seems as i ...

This is my first experience with this and it sucks!! In training, I had a lot of work and I was told to expect between 80 to 100 minutes a day. It was close to that the first week. Now it's going on the third week and I have hardly any work, don't when I will have work, email them asking about work, and no one responds. I turned down another job for this and I am Pis*%. Any advice appreciated. ...

Does A not realize most of us were celebrating Thanksgiving with our family and giving no thought to OTI?!!!!!!! ...

We will have the patient seen by anesthesia preop to make sure the pacemaker is properly cared for during the surgical procedure, which requires general anesthesia, and the use of the s/l **bovig** during the surgery. Thanks!! ...

Has anyone ever applied to Patient First and, if so, how is this company to work for? TIA ...

I would still like to hear from more of you about whether or not you have problems with DQS being slow. Today was one of the worst days I have ever had. I recently spent over 3 hours with support but no one has a definitive answer. I can tell you all that when Kaspersky does a virus scan, you cannot work at all. You may not even be able to get into Schedule Source to sign out. No one in tech support can tell whether it is my computer, my DSL, or some other reason an ...

Is anyone else having trouble with DQS moving slowly this morning? It's taking forever for the few jobs trickling in to download, ADT searches to run, etc. I've been having some internet issues, so I'm not sure if it's me or DQS. Thanks! ...

Anyone else noticing reports loading very slowly on DQS ...

???????? Never heard this?????? ...

Is anyone else slow? So far this week I've had less then 40 small reports. ...

Is DQS having a problem today? I cant download a report. ...

Anybody else sick of DQS sometimes taking forever to download a job and then being told that it is either our computer's fault or our internet connection?? My internet and computer has not changed since this started happening. However, it did start when they updated DQS, but, of course, that can't be the reason! ...

Every site having to do with MQ is as slow as molasses. Other Internet sites whiz along. Trying to check MQ E-mail, clock in, etc. is always a draaaaaaaaggggg. Is it their equipment or poor IT I wonder? Either way, once again makes you wonder about their accuracy on any of our numbers. Does their software "catch" everything or are some of my lines are flying past while it is dragging like a snail? ...

Hi all, I am a new transcriptionist. I have a job with a very small company that's doing transcription for a group of hospitals in Florida. The lady who hired me is so nice. She is training me and I am producing a quality product, but I am so slow! I'm averaging about 100 lines per hour because I have to look some things up or the doctors take such long breaks to look things up in the record in front of them. Also, the doctors tend to say one thing and the ...
