Good grief, my time czar is SO math challenged!

Just typed a code summary on a patient who expired. ASR put "The family were spoken to in the conference room and French fries were offered!!" was supposed to be condolences were offered. Bizarre, yes? ...

With all of the discussion about the pros and cons of sarcasm recently, it suddenly came to me that I really do have a sarcasm problem. I decided to watch a movie and put in a DVD. It came on with a message that it had been reformatted for my TV screen and I found myself talking back sarcastically TO MY OWN TELEVISION! I said, "Oh, sure, right!" Well that tells me that I have gotten into the habit of being sarcastic in every part of my life. When I made that sarcastic comment to my ...

Can Transcription Doctors get it through their heads that no one wants to work for 3 cpl and then wait 6 weeks to get paid? Give me a break! The postings are out of control. Why not just beg already. ...

In the last few months I have gone from acute care to clinic work and I cannot live off what I am making!!! Help!! These jobs are short, and getting in and out of them, finding docs names, addresses, dos, etc., are so time consuming, I am feel like I am going backwards!!! HELP!! ...

I don't think she knows my name, anyway. I got this call asking for help to work on the accounts--while I'm working on the account! I figured if they watch what we're doing while we're working, wouldn't they know if we are working already?! ...

I just posted on the Jobs Wanted Board - and it came up x 2 - I then tried to delete - and now there are 3 identical postings..... How do I get the two extra off? (blushing with embarrassment) - I want to get rid of the evidence as soon as possible lol ...

I've tried to do the math to figure exactly how much of an "increase" this is. I'm sure it's chicken feed, but since I keep getting a different answer when I try, I'll never know. I subtracted my old rate from my new rate and got 0.0013. Is this 1/13th of a cent my raise per line? Lordy that cannot be right! I kept doing it over and got different answers, and I don't know how, but math isn't my forte. What does 0.0013 mean? Is i ...

If you were to be paid 0.80 cents for every 1000 keystrokes, what would that be equivalent to? ...

found to be about one and a half to one and three quarters. How to write in numbers?? Thanks. ...

I am so bored and unchallenged by my editing job. I feel like a monkey could do this. I have a degree in health information but this field sucks, honestly. I hate it. I want out but feel stuck in a rut with my whole work history being MT work. Getting into other parts of health information is so hard without certification. I am eligible to sit for my RHIT but it's been 5 years since I got my AAS so I forgot a lot of what I learned and studying for it seems overwhelming...worried I'd fa ...

Anyone else out there doing radiology getting an unusually large amount of grief lately? ...

I need supplemental income and am looking for a companyto work as an IC. I am not overly concerned about running out of work, as I just want supplemental income. Does anyone know a company that it is easy to get started, no long drawn out hiring process with IC work that is maybe overflow or something along those lines or am I just dreaming? TIA. ...

Could any CURRENT Precyse MT/Editors please private email to tell me your recent experience with this company, good/bad, pay, time off, management, etc. Thank you! ...

I am currently working a full time job doing the regular 8 to 5, Monday thru Friday. I need part-time work in the evenings to supplement my income. Could anyone suggest a good company to seek out for part-time work on second shift? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!! ...

Can you guys just make my life easier and tell me what companies are good to work for as a part-time IC? I have been researching, but it is tedious and all I read are negative comments. ...

Please be aware that communicating with anyone privately via the email address you utilized to set up this account permits a straight path to your computer. The folks you would LEAST want to know who posted whatever you might have posted are VERY slick at coming off completely innocently when asking you to "please send this to me if you are not comfortable posting it to the board." This is your hint to say, "no thanks, I'll stick to the public board." If you slip up and do as they ask, thes ...

...and I'm wondering about everyone else's situation. If I work diligently and have work available, I can do 300-350 lph in SR, so that's $12-$14 an hour. My hours actually spent engaged in my job, getting ready for my job, getting to my job, getting home from my job, etc. are basically the hours I'm working and the few minutes it takes me to boot up. I have no car (don't need one--spouse and I work the same hours), no uniforms, no lunches out, no conve ...

Just got notified the national audit team did a June audit on me and I failed. I had the incorrect birth date. Stupid me. I am usuallly so careful that what is dictated and what ADT have are in sync. This 1 got by me. Said my audit score was 96.75. If a critical error is 3 points, how can this be? Even 97 would be failing. HMMMM? Guess slow down and triple check everything. Back on the "worry wagon" again. What will happen? ...

Let's say you have 1,000 MTs. If N manages to keep $100 per week per employee due to penalties, that is $100,000 each week that Nuance gets to keep....for nothing. Multiply that by 52, and they get $5,200,000 to keep per year just on platform, QA, QC, LPH. And how many MTs are there? And how much more than $100 are we losing? But heaven forbid they have to increase you by a few dollars to get you up to minimum pay. Check where your total lines are comin ...

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

Here's my deal...I got a report a couple of days ago that shows my avg LPH for the previous ppd along w/ some other stats. It shows that I edit appx 300 LPH (cut me some slack as I'm fairly new on these auths). If I multiply that by an 8-hr shift and my line rate (0.045 cpl), I keep coming back to about $20 more per day than I'm actually getting. My straight transcription pays about double the VR edit rate, so WTH am I missing.Apologies for being dense, but I rea ...

if my current job is calculating a line at 55 char w/spaces and a prospective job calculates a line at 65 char w/spaces -- I am so dumb with math anymore -- what would be the equation I'd use for figuring LPH that I might make in an hour on new job? thanks!! ...

Many posts on this convoluted mess called a compensation plan. Here are my positives: 1) I don't have to notify payroll if they posted more lines than I should have gotten. I have no clue how many compensated lines I should be given. 2) I don't have to notify payroll if they overpaid me. I will never know. 3) I will know where all the food banks are and every other means of help with utilities, etc. Now, here's my negative after doing the actual math: 1) I am losing $350 per ...

I just received my March report, graded at 99.3% and the accepted standard is 99.6%. There were 5 audited reports - 3 @ 100%, 1 @ 99.75% and 1 @ 99.3% which was the last one. My March report said I averaged 99.3% and need to improve quality, proofread, ADT screen, dates, labs and so on. Problem is, one missed comma gave me the 99.3% score. Yes, one comma in that report, nothing else was noted. Just doing simple math to come up with an average score for my audited reports (5) is 99.81% surpass ...

I was consistently going over the metrics for blanks being submitted to the client and decided to keep track of why I was sending those blanks. It turns out that 77% of my blanks are due to either discrepancy or audio issues; blanks that I am positive nobody could fill in. 77%! These metrics either need to be done away with or adjusted for doctors that don't take the time to not be idiots. The most common discrepancy is incorrect age or something else that I can fill ...

If I am part time at a company that pays 3 cpl and I do 1000 lines a day - that is only $30 before taxes? I must be doing something wrong here mathwise. ...

What in the heck does .05 for every 43 black characters equal out to. It doesn't sound good but I'm no math whiz. Maybe, I'm missing something and who pays like that. What happened to X-amount of cpl based on a 65-character line..or even a gross line. I suspect it's a sneaky way to screw you but I could be wrong. ...

Okay, so today if I did 1320 lines and sent 93 lines to QA, which was only 2 reports all day. Wow it adds up fast! This is more than 5% for today (not sure exactly what % but I'm sure it's over 5%). I'm pretty sure this is an average day. So, I'm still confused about how much we get docked.....will I get paid 3 cents less a line for EVERY line starting when I first go over 5% in any given week, which will be the FIRST day? Will it be on EVERY lin ...
