Remote Scribes

Does anyone have good input on whether medical scribes are the new medical transcriptionists only being filled my medical students, medical assistants or a part-time or piecemeal clerk at a lower rate (hourly or by piece) than medical transcriptionists -- if lower pay is even possible? Also, what are any inputs on RHIT and the medical coding future? I already have a bachelor's degree but thought about another associate degree in RHIT in a CAHIIM accredited program. From your viewpoint, wou ...

Can anybody give me information about scribes? I just applied for a job that is for a medical transcriptionist/medical assistant which requires the transcriptionist to scribe for the doctor. I'm concluding that you are in with the doctor and patient and basically just typing what he is saying during the appt rather than doc trying to treat the patient and document information at the same time. Do these types of positions usually get paid higher than a transcriptionist? Thanks for an ...

Has anyone ever worked as a "Medical Scribe?" Will you tell me about it, please? ...

Physician scribe jobs have just come to my attention. Been browsing the Internet and heard about it locally, too. Can't find a really detailed description of what these scribes actually do in a day's work. Anyone know? Thanks! ...

There is a budding new profession, for which MTs will be perfect. It's explained in an article at http://smartype.com/id12.html. Both the demand and the pay for transcription are dropping precipitously. It's a good time to consider a career transition. The tough part will be finding physicians who recognize that their lives will be immensely better if they have YOU doing all their EHR documentation...and that it's easily worth $40K per year. ...

Has anybody heard of scribes? Is this something that someone who has worked in medical transcription could possibly go into? ...

I ran across a company offering virtual scribes. Their scribes sound like a cross between transcriptionist, coding, assistant. It is done over the internet. The company I ran across is Physicians Angels. I could not find any career page to check out possible positions/requirements, and I don't know if it is done by ILPs, although their office is in the states. Anyone heard of virtual scribes and know of other companies that do this? Always looking for a way to break away from ...

Any information is appreciated...in particular, having to work too many accounts and OOW situations. THANK YOU. ...

My question is this...if you were working as a virtual scribe (via hipaa compliant video) from home what would you expect the pay per patient to be? Not hourly, just per patient that you documented and turned in to your supervisor at end of day...keep in mind you'd probably be on video about 4 hours a day. I'm really interested to see the responses to this question. ...

I do medical transcription for a local specialty practice. They are transitioning to EHR and gave notice to their MTs that they would be cutting back on their MT needs starting next week. Today, the office mgr. called and asked if I would be interested in a Scribe position. In short, I am. The manager would like to learn my salary requirements. I am thinking of asking to start at $10/hour. Does that seem reasonable. N.B. Idaho ranks 49/50 in per capita i ...

I have been hearing a lot about medical scribes. I am wondering if the transcription companies are going to start losing accounts because the doctors are going to switch to this new way of doing the medical records. Has this happened to anyone yet? ...

"Wow, the rates have gone down! Only $8-$10 per hour for these folks? Thatâ��s great! Minimum wage in Oregon is currently $8.40 per hour. That means that I can get someone smart enough to learn medical terminology (the average medical studentâ��s vocabulary doubles over four years of medical school), operate an EMR (every one is different, and most all of them are hideously complex), listen carefully (a rare commodity in itself), type quickly (remember, the average follow-up visit only las ...

Our world is ever changing, do you fight it or find a way to advance with it. Here is a NYtimes article about scribes.. It covers the third person in the room syndrome. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/14/health/a-busy-doctors-right-hand-ever-ready-to-type.html?emc=eta1&_r=0 ...

From Health Care IT News - February 2014. Interview with an ER doctor about using scribes in the ER and the process of documenting/entering information. http://www.healthcareitnews.com/blog/medical-scribes-history-present-illness-now-narrative ...

Interesting article about stage 2 meaningful use, particularly committees trying to decide if it prohibits anyone but a physician entering data into the EMR. The article specifically references scribes, but I wonder what the implications are for MT. http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/do-doctors-have-be-typists-get-mu-incentives ...

I think these ideas are getting used interchangeably when they are very different applications. EHR is still transcribed documents, just not paper charts. Facilities have already been on this for a good while now and the transcriptionist will basically see no difference as we don't usually handle a chart anyways in-house or virtually. However, it is the point-n-click programs that are phasing out the transcribed document. ...

Hi. I am an RHIT, 17 years coding experience. Recently relocated to a remote community and now searching for a remote coding position. So many "companies'.......so overwhelming. Can anyone point me to a good reliable list of companies that hire remote coders? Any advice? ...

Are there any companies out there that hire specifically for remote coders. I saw a few and applied but have never heard back. I do have my CPC but I don't know if they are looking for anything in particular. I also have almost 18 years of billing/coding experience. Maybe the jobs are just rare. ...

Anybody having a lack of QA work? ...

I recently obtained my Certificate from a community college for Medical Transcription/Coding. I also work full time at our county mental health clinic, scheduling appointments for patients, answering telephones and transcribing reports for 3 psychiatrists (2 speaking in broken Indian dialect). I have submitted many resumes online to all types of transcription agencies and physician's offices. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get a job as a remote transcriptionist and if you have any ...

I'm curious how many of you graduated from your medical coding/billing course and found a job to work remotely? I'm currently a transcriptionist looking to enroll in a coding/billing course, but will not be able to work onsite to gain experience that most of these companies are wanting. I've been doing some research and most of them want you to have 3 years onsite experience. I will need something remotely after graduation. I thought I would check here and ...

Is anyone willing to share their pay rate per chart for outpatient remote contract coding? I am also curious if you ever get an increase in your pay rate or is this renegotiated in your contract. ...

...qualify for this job? I just have experience with medical terminology, working in Radiology with a little customer service and phone etiquette skills and ability to multitask. The rest, not so much. Wonder what is the hourly rate of pay. ...

My company just said they are going to have us install Remote Computer Monitoring and Management onto our computers for "HIPAA" and to make sure we are productive. Does this allow them to monitor only while we are working or all of the time? The company does not supply computers, these are our personal ones. ...

Does anyone know what remote coders are getting paid, i.e. how much per report. I am an IC looking for coding position at home. ...

Any remote coders out there or is this a farce like the ads saying you can make $40,000 a year from home as an MT?? ...

I was browsing through the jobs board, and saw that Inscribe is hiring MTs and remote scribes. What is the difference? It says remote scribes input directly into EMR. Does anybody know anything about this? I know what scribes do in hospitals but I have never heard of a remote scribe and would think it is basically the same thing as an MT. ...
