MT to Med Assistant - Anonymous

That may be an option for some, but for many it means going back to school and getting MA certification. It's not an option for me as I'm in my late 50s, plus the expense of going back to school. MA jobs also do not pay very well.
Neither does MT - Age is not an issue

I am mid 40s and I am going back to school for MA. They may not make what some consider to be much, but it has got to be better than an MT these days.
$9-13/hr in the NYC suburbs, a little - allie

more in NYC. Positions are mostly part-time, no bennies.
I agree... MA would be - at least for me

really setting my sights low. For what it pays and the amount of extra aggravation involved, I might just as well limp it out with ME until retirement.
MTs have EMR experience? - Not those who work for MTSOs
[ In Reply To ..]
I have no EMR experience. I work for an MTSO and just edit and upload. I have no idea how to operate an EMR software program. So, I'm confused by the subject line, the part about having EMR experience.

Anyone Here Go From MT To Medical Assistant? Sep 26, 2013I'm looking at a program in my area that is 9 months long to become a certified medical assistant. I do realize that MAs don't get paid much (about 14 an hour where I live which sounds awesome to me right about now as I'm a poor MT), and there really isn't any advancement in this type of job. But, I do want to do something hands-on in the medical field and this seems like a good way to go. My local hospital is phasing out all the LPNs and replacing them with ...
Cancer Registrar Vs Medical Assistant? Sm Jun 01, 2013I'm considering getting out of transcription. I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I'm looking into either CRM or MA - CRM through AHIMA online or MA at local community college. I'm worried that CRM is too much of a "niche" job. There is a nearby cancer treatment center. However, I'm also worried that MA would not necessarily pay that much. I would appreciate any input/advice anyone cares to offer. ...
Going Back To School And Getting Certified As A Medical Assistant Mar 24, 2014I have been in the field of Education for 23 yrs and have been an Administrator for the past 13. Due to the economy, schools would rather hire those with no experience and pay them less than seasoned veterans like myself. I have 2 in college and a 10yr old I adopted at birth so I am far from retirement. I am considering going back to school and getting certified as a Medical Assistant (which would include Phlebotomy and X-ray tech) and Medical Billing/Coding or Transcription. I am currently un ...

Has Anyone Had Experience Doing Any Other Transcription Besides Medical Sep 10, 2011I have become pretty miserable/bored lately. I know its the job itself and I know what the future holds for it, but I can't go back to school right now to try to further my education for something else because I homeschool my kids and that is my first priority. MT is just part time. I've been MT'ing for close to 15 years and have never done any other transcribing. I was just wondering if I wanted to venture out of medical and do general transcription w ...

My Positive Experience With Another Medical Must Aug 16, 2014I'm leaving my weekend part-time position with Another Medical Must only because I'm going to be working as a pet sitter/dog walker on weekends starting next weekend. The owner of Another Medical Must has posted the vacancy here on MT Stars, and I would just like to say that she is wonderful to work for. I've been slowly phasing out of MT work the past couple of years since I now work full time at our university and only need to supplement my full time income with a fe ...
Anyone Have Any Experience With Expert Medical Transcription? Sm Dec 09, 2010I had never heard of them before, and there do not seem to be many posts in the archives about them, but then again, maybe that is a good thing.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks. ...
Can You Relate? My Experience As A Medical Transcriptionist Oct 19, 2011I've been an MT for 12 years. I started out with MedQuist as a subcontractor. Life was great! Then came employee status and being performance managed, VS, crappy software, overworked supervisors and nit picking about being literally 10 minutes late for work or getting heavy points taken off my quality score for typing "were" instead of "was." I went to Focus, which was then taken over by Nuance, and the same experience as above started happening. So I went ...

Anybody Have Experience With National Medical Transcription Company? Oct 07, 2010I received a job interview for an IC position with a company called National Medical Transcription with headquarters in New York. Has anybody worked with this company?
My main concern was that the company does not offer direct deposit but rather issues a check via mail. Next concern is a "transparent" means of tallying up productivity for 65 character lines and spaces included. I would appreciate any feedback from present or past contractors. Thank you. ...

I had spent a year searching for a company that would hire someone new, but had no luck. Then, out of the blue a local company had seen my resume and offered me a job. I got the job, but the thing was I was almost 7 months pregnant with my second child! I had only worked a couple months until our baby was born and after consideration, decided not to come back so I could be with our baby full-time. Well, it ha ...

Jobs Based On Medical Insurance May 12, 2015If I'm naive about this, I'll apologize up-front but...
Perhaps a better alternative to searching for an MT position with a company for the basic right (need) to have medical insurance would be to sign up for Affordable Care Act? Get an IC position with more flexibility, less stress from being over-supervised, and make premium payments out of that income?
Seems sad and unnecessary to struggle just to find contentment in a job where medical insurance is the primary reason for putting ...
