Hearing about new jobs as "medical scribes."

I have been hearing a lot about medical scribes. I am wondering if the transcription companies are going to start losing accounts because the doctors are going to switch to this new way of doing the medical records. Has this happened to anyone yet? ...

Does anyone have good input on whether medical scribes are the new medical transcriptionists only being filled my medical students, medical assistants or a part-time or piecemeal clerk at a lower rate (hourly or by piece) than medical transcriptionists -- if lower pay is even possible? Also, what are any inputs on RHIT and the medical coding future? I already have a bachelor's degree but thought about another associate degree in RHIT in a CAHIIM accredited program. From your viewpoint, wou ...

Has anyone ever worked as a "Medical Scribe?" Will you tell me about it, please? ...

Kind of wondering if this last job posting on the jobs board might be associated with one of those "you pay us to find you a job" type of organization. I googled Medical Jobs Online and found nothing stating that are a legitimate MTSO :( ...

I've recently graduated with an Associate of Applied Science degree and I received my Certificate in Medical Transcription. I've taken several tests for companies over the Internet but they all say the same thing in response to me, "gain more experience, and then come back to us." How can I gain more experience when no one will hire a newbie? If anyone has any advice on this subject, please let me know. ...

Does anyone know of any companies out there that are hiring IC MTs? My one company is very slow and am looking for supplemental work. Thanks so much. ...

I have tried to click on the jobs on this web site to apply to them and when I click on the "Apply Now" it does not take me to the site. Does anyone know the answer to why this happens? I did not get the impression it is something you have to pay to belong to. Thanks for your help. ...

I would be interested in hearing about the type of work involved in this field and any other information one might have regarding it. The type of duties involved, pay, benefits... TIA ...

Does anyone know of medical transcription jobs scams? Offering jobs, no contracts, HIPPA or other documentation required or at least not initially.....want SS# but does not need a 1099 signed? six hour time difference...just checking if anyone knows or has experienced? ...

If 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 ...

Hello, I am a MT and wanted to also do coding, could you please tell me how to search for jobs at home once I am done with school ?? Does anybody have a board for coder jobs thanks so much ...

looks like there may be a place for us MTs to go once MT dies out completely ...

I saw one advertised I was interested in, but wondered if the EMR is going to do away with that position, as well. Thanks for any info! ...

The people I know who will now be getting medical insurance will obviously now go to the doctor when they get sick. It makes sense to me that there will be more coding and more billing, right? That's a good thing for us I think. ...

Can anybody give me information about scribes? I just applied for a job that is for a medical transcriptionist/medical assistant which requires the transcriptionist to scribe for the doctor. I'm concluding that you are in with the doctor and patient and basically just typing what he is saying during the appt rather than doc trying to treat the patient and document information at the same time. Do these types of positions usually get paid higher than a transcriptionist? Thanks for an ...

Physician scribe jobs have just come to my attention. Been browsing the Internet and heard about it locally, too. Can't find a really detailed description of what these scribes actually do in a day's work. Anyone know? Thanks! ...

We all know the frustration in dictation where they don't use a pause button, how our salaries dwindle to nothing as a result. I noted an ad on the Job Seeker's Board to train to become a "remote scribe" for .07 to .08 CPL. Doesn't it seem this would also dwindle to nothing as it seems there would be far more waiting for data to enter and would take forever to complete a line if you are working in real time. Anyone have any info on how this would work? ...

There is a budding new profession, for which MTs will be perfect. It's explained in an article at http://smartype.com/id12.html. Both the demand and the pay for transcription are dropping precipitously. It's a good time to consider a career transition. The tough part will be finding physicians who recognize that their lives will be immensely better if they have YOU doing all their EHR documentation...and that it's easily worth $40K per year. ...

Has anybody heard of scribes? Is this something that someone who has worked in medical transcription could possibly go into? ...

I ran across a company offering virtual scribes. Their scribes sound like a cross between transcriptionist, coding, assistant. It is done over the internet. The company I ran across is Physicians Angels. I could not find any career page to check out possible positions/requirements, and I don't know if it is done by ILPs, although their office is in the states. Anyone heard of virtual scribes and know of other companies that do this? Always looking for a way to break away from ...

Any information is appreciated...in particular, having to work too many accounts and OOW situations. THANK YOU. ...

My question is this...if you were working as a virtual scribe (via hipaa compliant video) from home what would you expect the pay per patient to be? Not hourly, just per patient that you documented and turned in to your supervisor at end of day...keep in mind you'd probably be on video about 4 hours a day. I'm really interested to see the responses to this question. ...

I do medical transcription for a local specialty practice. They are transitioning to EHR and gave notice to their MTs that they would be cutting back on their MT needs starting next week. Today, the office mgr. called and asked if I would be interested in a Scribe position. In short, I am. The manager would like to learn my salary requirements. I am thinking of asking to start at $10/hour. Does that seem reasonable. N.B. Idaho ranks 49/50 in per capita i ...

"Wow, the rates have gone down! Only $8-$10 per hour for these folks? Thatâ��s great! Minimum wage in Oregon is currently $8.40 per hour. That means that I can get someone smart enough to learn medical terminology (the average medical studentâ��s vocabulary doubles over four years of medical school), operate an EMR (every one is different, and most all of them are hideously complex), listen carefully (a rare commodity in itself), type quickly (remember, the average follow-up visit only las ...
