Hello. My wife just finised the Career Step course in March. She is already employed and doing great. My question is in regards to any 2011 tax credits/breaks we can claim as she studied full time at this program. Can we claim that she was a full time student for at least 5 months? Any thoughts?
Have a great day...

Dear Friends: My name is Suzie and I am a medical transcriptionist who wants to attend medical coding school, The Andrew's School, is the school I want to attend. I would like to know if any of you have any suggestions about education grants that I can look into. I would like some information. Thank you in advance.
Fondly,
Suzie ...
Ok, Level 2 or Level II.
I went back to the material from when I was going through school and is shows as Level 2, however, researching via Google comes up as Level II. Which would be correct. ...
is planning on a lumbar epidural steroid injection. I am not sure of the level he is planning on. If it is at 4 5 or 5 6, I think he has a good chance of relief of arm pain ...
Hi all,
Just a quick question. In all your years of experience, what would you think would be a fair starting pay (hourly please) at a smaller acute care hospital doing varied types of jobs? I do a lot of typing for the actual hospital, the two clinics (one inside the hospital and our satellite clinic in another town) and physical therapy. I do alot of transcription but I also have a lot of other medical records duties as well that I have to balance. I do ...
He's referring to a Digoxin level and shortens it to say "s/l Dij level". I realize that it's probably not spelled with the j, but if I write it Dig level, then it's like digging with that "g" sound....would you leave it "Dig level"? ...
I now the pH scale, but I'm confused by what this doctor said.
"...her pH remained low at 717"
She said "Seven One Seven." She speaks clearly, so I'm confident she is saying this. No other pH levels are given in the report. ...
The last pay cut they made to me was with ASR. they did not touch my transcription rate YET, but I know I read on here someone was at the top of their level as to how much they could make and they went from 0.009 to 0.003. It sounds like this was the transcription rate? Did they actually cut some of the MTs base pay to more than half? This just blows me away if they did this. I have not been on here too much on a steady basis because I get even more d ...
He may follow up on an outpatient basis for continued complaints of urinary symptoms. The patient did fill out a living will requesting TSL level 2 though he does need to notarize the documents.
Does anyone know the acroynm for TSL?? ...
Hello, I am a new MT looking for entry-level work. Is there such a thing? Is there a new law that requires a minimum of 1 year experience as an MT? Please help. If anyone knows the answers to my questions, please post them.
Thank you

Also would not get my first paycheck for 60 days. Does that seem fishy? They also want me to sign a no competition contract that I will not seek employment with another company that could be considered competition for 3 years. Is that normal? ...
I was wondering if anybody knew of any companies that hire entry level coders. I went to school and got my CCA certificate, but have never done coding in a clinical setting. I'm also a medical transcriptionist with 20 years experience. ...
Is this correct? He says the patient had 2 beers and had a blood alcohol level of 63. I'm not too familiar with blood alcohol levels, but that does not sound right to me. Even if it was 0.63, wouldn't that be too high for 2 beers? Am I missing something here? TIA! ...
Really? You're going to offer $21 an a/h when it takes 3 to 4 times the dictation length to complete a report? That equates to LESS THAN THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE - BEFORE TAXES!!
People PLEASE do not accept this!! Even if you are a newbie just starting out in transcription the absolute MINUMUM you should accept is $40 an a/h! What CLK is offering to pay is equal to off-shore wages. General transcription is not difficult at all - far easier than medical, but it ...
What skiill level are you? I've been with the company over 10+ years and looks like they still have me at level I. How sad. I would email by CCM but mail system is down. Per report rad is over me Oct 13. Hurry! Hurry! At this rate i need to type/edit 2000 lines a day for a measily $100. I dont know if 2000 lines is even feasible, I suck at sitting at my desk for extended periods of time. haha.
skill level maximum r ...
I finally got to the point I hated time for work. I went through 2 buyouts and it just seemed to get worse. I have watched QA people busted down due to not getting enough lines per hour, which is impossible when there's not enough work, and when most of the acute care work was 100% listens. I got ONE raise in 7 years yet the duties kept piling on and found out some were making 4.00 an hour more than me in lower positions. On days off you were expected to join meetings no m ...
Just doing laboratory studies, this doc, or FNP is notorious for pronouncing things wrong, or adding in extra letters and NEVER correcting herself like she doesn't want anyone to know she said it wrong... anyways it sounds something like
Follicle "knifing" or "nifine" hormone normal.
then goes on to say "estradiol low, progesterone normal, etc. etc.
if anyone has any idea, thanks! ...
Okay, here's the situation I am in. I graduated school in 2008, but i got hired before I even graduated and I have been transcribing IC for a local family practice for 3 years. Therefore, I have school + 3 years experience, just not in a hosptial or acute care setting, which seems to be everyone's requirement!
I noticed someone said Spheris hires newbies so I checked out their site. For the new graduates, it says you must have graduated in the past 6 months or within the past year and ...
