This must be a scary time to be an MTSO. Formerly placid - MTs used to just do the SM
Posted: May 29, 2013
work and be happy they had a job. But now, those same MTs have turned into slueths sniffing out less than honest MTSO. Must be scary to know any day, you could get a call from an attorny, like what happened to Transcend management. Like what happened to MM several years ago.
Must be scary to be an MTSO and know that you have to do business in an honest fashion, or else, these days, good chance you will be caught being dishonest. Must be scary to think at the very least you will have to revamp your practices and take a smaller paycheck yourself.
Must be scary to know you might have to trade that fancy house for a 10x12 room and a roommate named Shirley.
Huh? - dont follow
[ In Reply To ..]you're saying I'm going to prison because my MTSO is doing something illegal?
Not you. This post was for all dishonest MTSO - out there. nm

oh I gotcha - sorry misread. nm

Scary why? The MTSO always wins, even when they lose. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]There was nothing in it for the MT when MQ settled their lawsuit, just stricter schedules and less pay.
Schedules and pay cuts were coming regardless of suit. - Revenge and righteousness was MT reward. nm

Wrong reward - Reward
[ In Reply To ..]is that dishonest idiot MTSOs no longer are allowed to continue on with business as usual and as a result the honest intelligent MTSOs can actually do business and compete while remaining honest and intelligent. Yes that is the true reward! Has nothing to do with $$$$ but with honesty and intelligence. Scary isn't it?
you got that - right!
[ In Reply To ..]justice, honesty, lawsuits all in the pipeline and not just MM and Transcend!
Justice. . . glad to hear it - Fairness4MTs
[ In Reply To ..]Glad to hear more accountability is in the pipeline! I know 2 companies that are under investigation with the DOL and I have one check for back pay coming very soon!! Keep em honest, hold their feet to the fire, stand up for yourself.

A friend of mine was just fired from MQ with no warning whatsoever! Apparently she had CC'd the wrong doctor (very similar-sounding names, ESL dictator). I know this is a major HIPAA violation, but everyone makes mistakes...we are only human. My friend always had excellent QA audits above 98%, 15+ years as MT, no other issues with her work. You would think they would look at this on a case-by-case basis, consider past record, when it comes to firing someone on the spot like that. It is ...
Scary, Scary ASR
Sep 10, 2010
doctor clearly states "a fair amount of adhesions;" ASR transcribed "some adhesions." That is so bizarre to me and if I wasn't really LISTENING and was just flying through proofreading, I would have missed it. Not particularly treatment-changing for the patient, but certainly incorrect. ASR just flat made up dictation there. Absolutely amazing. If I did that, I would be fired. ...

Scary Software
Feb 17, 2010
During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand. As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc. On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement. Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc. I made a comment ...

A doctor who cannot pronounce encephalomalacia! She fumbles around with it for a while and then says "oh well, I will just spell it" and did so like she was asking a question (did spell it correctly though). This is an English speaking dictator with an MD credential. Must be a resident as she has a co-signer but, my God, she should be more familiar with terms by now you would think. She also fumbles around with common medication names and mg instead of mcg for Synthroid. Fo ...

Scary VR Error
Aug 26, 2012
VR: has been taking a lot of Tylenol. Should be: has been taking allopurinol. VR's way of "thinking" is getting a little bit frightening. It seems like it's changing context to accommodate its own errors. I've seen it insert words and phrases that are clearly not dictated but would "fit" with the mistyped term. ...
Scary Thought...
Oct 03, 2012
First, VR was going to replace us. When that didn't work, now we -- American MTs -- are fine-tuning VR so the Indian MTs can replace us. And to make sure this happens, MTSOs are paying us unfair, unlivable wages to force us out, thus forcing clients to accept what they get from the Indian MTs because there won't be enough qualified American MTs left. I know this really isn't news, but I thought I'd share anyway. ...
This Doctor Needs To Retire, Scary!
Nov 02, 2010
I have this doctor I've been working with for a few years through a company, who is very old. He frequently loses his place while dictating and often doesn't make sense. Today has been bad already. One report he dictated 3 sentences that did not make sense, nor was it clear what he was really trying to say. Another report he dictated the exam, paused, started to dictate exam and then realized he already did, started with the impression, dictated #1, t ...

Overtime Because Of The Time Clock Time Zone Change?
Feb 06, 2011
It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...
MQ Rehire Policy For Part Time To Full Time
Apr 09, 2011
I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Optiscript Part Time To Full Time
Nov 19, 2011
Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...
