$130/mth with a $3000 deductible?? Is it even worth it?

I'm interviewing with this company this week. Can anyone give me recent experience with this company? Is the pay fair? How user-friendly is their system? Can you give me info on medical benefits such as deductible, percentages, or cost for single? Really any recent information is very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you! ...

Anyone else on one of two teams getting a message that a client has over 3000 jobs out of TAT? Seriously? And of course they want us to "jump on and clear them out." How does one get to 3000 jobs out of TAT? No, I don't want to help you clear those jobs. And honestly, I hope that all the employes trained on that account all quit at once! But I'm sure when I run out of work tomorrow and Wednesday, you'll have me in there working on an account I' ...

Hi, Someone was kind eough to answer a question regarding health benefits for me, but I forgot to ask what the deductible is for a single individual, full-time. I would appreciate this if anyone knows! ...

Thanks to Healthcare Documentation Today facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/healthcaredocumentationtoday) for this link. Could this be the final nail in the coffin? Sounds like they're using the US business "model" for how to treat your employees like slaves and keep a track on them every minute - but they get to do their "household activity" so everything's A-okay!!! "He has no fears about employees shirking work. "All employees work on our software and log into our system. ...

Getting ready to buy a new keyboard and trying to decide between these 2 models. Has anyone used both and can compare them? Does the CC 3000 really provide relief for the wrists? I've heard good things about the 4000 but it looks so...LARGE, lol! Any input appreciated before I click the "buy it now" feature! ...

I was a student at M-TEC and dropped out. I have all 3 SUM CDs still. One is opened and 2 are still sealed. I just don't know what these are worth and can't find anyone selling them that has a listed price anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help on this! ...

Editing at .04 cpl, is it worth it? For 250 lines per hour, that is $10 an hour. Maybe that is good considering we work at home? Seeking opinions, please. Not trying to start a war. ...

I invite any person of management in any MTSO to sit at their computer for an entire shift and see what we go through day after day and see if they feel they are being paid a proper, living wage. There are way too many factors that eat into the paltry wage we start out with, and it's high time this was recognized as an occupational hazard and we are duly compensated. It's only going to get worse, not better, if something isn't done. Of course, I realize nobody r ...

Looking for a job is terrifying, heart-in-throat time. On the other hand...you discover there are jobs with YEARLY EVALUATIONS (yes!)...RAISES (double yes!)...PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES (I can't believe it!)...absolutely stunning, you don't realize how brainwashed you are, how hammered you are, till you GET OUT. Scared...but free. Don't think of it as shaking like a leaf. Think of it as fluttering like a butterfly. ...

We are worth more in so many ways. I am very disheartened with the way things have changed in our profession. We used to be paid much better, and have a better chance of moving up the ladder as well. Now we are almost at poverty level on wages. I really don't understand how anyone can expect people who are very highly trained and specialized in this field to live on what we are being paid, or to treat us as if we are second-class citizens. I would challenge any ...

I'm curious. How many of you cheering on this lawsuit think that things will change in a way that you will be paid "what you are worth?" And what are you worth? I mean seriously? Is someone who does a lousy job as valuable as someone who does a stellar job? Is someone with a shoddy education as valuable as someone with a first-class education? How about those with no formal education at all? What is it you all think you will really accomplish with a law ...

I graduated a year and a half ago from a very good MT school. I graduated with high honors and felt ready to tackle this profession. I wanted to do this because it has always been my dream to be a stay at home mom and with this profession I felt like I got the best of both worlds. When I researched MT are suposed to make 30K or more. So I figured as a newbie maybe 20K or even 18K. Wow was I wrong. I got hired about 2 months out of school which was a huge relief but things rapidly went down hill. ...

I'm getting ready to buckle down and study for my CMT. I got my RMT this spring and promised myself that I would get the CMT before I forgot too much. I'm having trouble motivating myself to memorize all the abbreviations (this seems to be a favorite type of question), so I'm wondering how folks who have their CMT feel about whether or not it has helped them with their career or not. Thanks for encouragement or discouragement. I'd really like to know. ...

I have over 30 years experience. I have worked in 2 major hospitals and as an independent contractor. I know what I am doing. Problem is, I am human. I make mistakes. But with this company, 1 mistake is huge. It can bring your accuracy score down below their guidelines. Just for a left out word that does not change the context. I have just about had enough. I really don't have to be talked to like a toddler when I make a mistake.&n ...

I currently make 9 cpl but curious if it would be worth it to jump over to MME. Thanks ...

I would love to hear from my fellow MTs what you think we are worth, not by the line but by the hour. Indeed as I was doing research regarding "piece work" in America, I found very little information except that it went back to the guild system. However, I did learn that in England, if you do piece work (cpl, for example) and you are required to sign in and sign out, you cannot be paid for production, but only an hourly wage. So what do you think we are worth? Let's consider whe ...

What are your feelings about obtaining your CMT credentials when VR (at least with my employer) doesn't follow BOS or acknowledge the styles, forms and practices that, at one time were the norm? I get blown away with sentence structure and grammar these days. Do you think one should become certified with the latest trend with VR? Seems to me "No", not worth it, unless I moved on to a company who did not use VR. But, then again, if this is the trend hospitals and companies a ...

The hospital where I live has 4 openings for coders, but they all require that you have an RHIT certification. I know in order to have this you must have an AA degree. How many of you have this and would it be better to have this rather than study at Andrews or Career Step? ...

Is it worth purchasing the BOS 3 before I start testing? I have looked online to see what others have said, and it seems like most have said they wouldn't spend the money because it's not that different from the 2nd version. One person said they read the book and saw only 2 changes from the previous edition. I'm not sure what to do. I'm worried that I'm going to need the newer version to pass the test. Just wanted to see what others have don ...

I have to say this is my first time to this website and I am deeply discouraged by the forums I have read because it sounds like this line of work is basically dying a slow death. I am currently enrolled in a community college and am about to finish getting my certificate ( I am in my last class which is practice/internship) to become a Medical Transcriptionist but I'm beginning to wonder if it was worth it? I already had fears because of accounts going offshore and EMRs but reading some of ...

If I take the CMT test the goal is to increase my income from my current earnings as a full time MT/ME. But is it worth the $$ and time required to prepare for and take the CMT test? I am confident that I would have no problem passing the test after adequate review, etc. So is it worth the effort? Bottom line -- it will cost money to take the exam and it will cost money to either enroll in a review course or buy review materials to prepare for the exam. And the CMT credential ...

I'm curious about the MME certification/position. Can anyone please give some honest insight as to what the difference in pay is, what the testing for the position is like, etc. I would like to apply for the position in 2 months and would like to know what to expect. Also, once you're an MME does that open up advancement opportunities into QA, CCM, etc.? Any information would be appreciated. ...

Hello forum users! I am currently very interested in the MT field. I am a fast typist, excellent speller, I have a good grasp of grammar, etc. I am eyeing a course offered online, it seems professional and excellent and all that. The whole thing seems perfect for me! I would like to work from home and make my own hours while doing this. However, I recently spoke to a neighbor who is an MT, and she is losing her job to a machine. She also claims that her MT friend ...

I am just wondering if this schooling has all been worth it. I am not seeing alot of happy people on this site. I have been a graduate of medical in 1986 and since gone on to manicuring for the sake of flexible schedule while my child was in latter years of school. I pursued a course with Mt Professionals to be able to catch up and with skills and am still in my third year of school on part-time basis waiting to pass to become a paid employee with one error. I am getting really ...

I guess I just need to vent/rant for a minute. I have been an MT for over three years now. I seem to be one of the few who prefers VR over ST. I worked for Spheris before MQ gobbled them up, and I thought they were a great co. to work for. They paid 5 cpl for VR, which is pretty good if you can edit 300-400 lph. Then came the Q, and it was okay for a while, but then the Spheris accts. were offshored and there went the Cornerstone accts., and Cornerstone was a great ...

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on becoming a CMT. I have been doing transcription for almost 15 years and I am wondering if I can really make more money if I get my CMT. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. ...

Just wondering if it is worth it to test up to tier 3 or not. I wouldn't mind getting more in my work pool (especially as things have been a bit slim lately with the holidays), but had heard there was no pay increase for moving up a tier, plus was worried that I'd have to spend more time in research for the first while getting used to the new work, hence slow production down. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! ...

I'm thinking about taking a job with Nuance, but with all these negative comments about them, I'm not so sure I should. I get so discouraged looking at these boards and seeing all the negative comments. I have been out of work for the last 2 weeks because my PRN clinic job is running low. I really need something to help pay the bills, but at this point it sounds like bankruptcy might be my only option as I can't handle the stress of looking for a new job every we ...
