Have any tier 3 MTs or any MMEs been invited to test?

Please ... no judgment ... but I'm actually really excited. I'm the one who posted last night saying that I've just been praying for an invitation so I can at least TRY to get out of the MT business. I'm ONLY doing this for the hands-on experience. After 2 years I can take the test and move on. Thank God, it's the opportunity to get out of this Godforsaken business once and for all. Please, no bashing about my excitement. I' ...

Are you fairly new transcriptionists, been at it for years, etc? Just wondering if there is a specific criteria they are using for the first checkpoint before being offered testing. TIA ...

Today is the last day to test. Good luck! ...

I've been invited to test with them. ...

Anyone have advice about taking the Tier 3 test? I know taking it won't mean much at MQ but it will mean something to me and I want to give it a try. The woman that gave me information about it said it can go into the next day. Does it really take that long? I work 2 jobs and am trying to figure out when to take it. The instructions for the test sound more difficult than the test itself. ...

Has anybody ever passed the tier 2 test?? This is my second attempt at passing it and it seems impossible. You can't slow the transcription. You can't understand the words before and after the privacy tones. It's like they don't want you to pass, succeed, and reach a higher level. My regular work reports are easier to do than anything on that test, even the ESL doctors! ...

Four OP reports; have never done OPs before. Not sure I will pass though, as I had to leave 11 blanks in one report. Left 1 or 2 in the other reports. And it wasn't because the dictator wasn't clear; I just either could not hear the surgical term/equipment/suture and/or could not reference it. Other than the blanks, I think I did pretty well. I think you have to get 96.00 to pass. Can someone who has taken this test before tell me if you get points ...

I took the test and scored a 92.91 and I needed a 96 to pass. I feel like a failure. The fourth report that I was given was a difficult dictator (a fast talker). My question is, do you know when we can retest. Is it 90 days? ...

Hello All, Trying to find a list of types of jobs done by the diffient tier levels. Anyone have a list such as this or know where I can find one? TIA (thanks in advance) ...

to test with them. I have never been involved in editing and was wondering if I should even bother with the testing? For those who work there, are you happy? Is there enough work? Is the pay at least decent? TIA ...

You can call yourself an MT and work for: 1. A single provider nonspecialist. 2. A multiprovider/multispeciality clinic. 3. A primary hospital. 4. A secondary hospital. 5. A TERTIARY hospital. You can do "ops" with any of these jobs. However, at a tertiary hospital you will have patients who have failed treatment at primary and secondary hospitals. Tertiary hospitals are teaching and research institutions where you will encounter research p ...

So a girl I worked with at a local hospital here now works for MQ, and I found out she is an MME, so I ask her, what exactly is an MME, she says she gets what we send to QA, corrects it, and types. So....basically they are just QA people? But, don't QA people type too? I just don't understand this MME position. Any MMEs here that can tell me what an MME is (and I know it stands for Master Medical Editor, for the smarties)? ...

who make about the same as an MME as they did as an MT? Also, are they asking Tier 2 to become MMEs now? I thought you had to be a Tier 3 first THEN MME? ...

Just wondered if any MMEs watch this board that have an interest in advancing their careers to a QC. Other than notifying your CCM and watching the openings, any advise on other steps to take? ...

Just got a request to test for the MME position. I'm tier 3, 99% accuracy, and I've been here for 7 years, but I didn't take the test when they first offered it because I knew that my pay would take a nosedive. I have a feeling they will be getting rid of all the regular MT/MEs shortly and keep only MMEs on board, but if the pay is actually worse, then it may be better to be given the boot. I was told by CCM that it is mostly transcription work and not so mu ...

You should all go read the Offshore Concerns board about Indian Pay... UGH. ...

This is just purely out of curiosity, but have you noticed that a lot of the ILP's names have Shaster in them. What does Shaster mean? Is it some formal name thing going on? ...

ever read any feedback? I don't. So frustrating. ...

I've been getting a lot of reports from the ILP with "full review" or something similar in the QA note, but the report itself is not flagged for 100% proof. After a couple weeks of doing full review at less pay, I've decided to just delete their request and fill in the blanks. I figure if they want their reports fully reviewed, they can request their manager to put them back on 100% because I'm a bit fed up with wasting my time and money on making these ILPs look prett ...

When you get one of those jobs with 40 blanks in it, what is your favorite expression? Try to keep it clean! Mine is the name of a certain religious figure. ...

No offense, but can I ask you all something? Since you guys say you are making much less than you did as QA, WHY are you wasting your valuable time correcting insignificant things (not to mention sometimes even things that oppose the CP), or things that are preference calls? Doesn't make any sense at all. Just saying ...

How much straight transcribing do you do, versus editing MTs and MEs? TIA ...

I would like to know how much of your day is spent full listening to either ILP or MTs placed on 100%. If it is 75% or more how do you survive? Do you have any tips on how to get through them faster? I must be doing something wrong. Thanks. ...

What's with checking the whole report when there's 1 flag in it? Sometimes I'll leave 1 or 2 flags in a long report, and when I check my feedback I'll have 3 or 4 minor feedback, really little things that definitely do not impact the meaning of the report. Scares me, feels like I'm being picked on. Sometimes it's hard not to turn into a raging paranoiac around here. I HATE leaving flags. ...

Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it? I'm finding words or phrases left out that are completely clear, but a lot of the time is American slang. Other times, it seems that they make up phrases to fit dictation they don't understand. Anyone else? ...

Considering applying to go back to being an MME part-time. I mostly had QA work when I was an MME, but curious if that's the norm or not. ...
