Posted: Jun 24, 2012
Is there plenty of work? Are the accounts good, or a lot of bad audio & ESLs? TIA for an info!
Depends on your BOB - old and burned out

My group always has plenty of work but honestly, it is the worst work I have ever done in my 40 years of transcription so many days I wish it was NJA.
I'm in the west region too and in the exact opposite situation - anon

I've been out of work almost every single day for months and months and I would give my left arm to trade places with you. Even a bad dictator at this point would be better than no dictator. I hope to God (and you should too) that you're not coming to my BOB. If you are I hope you have a backup plan like a second form of income.
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that their line count average is sucking really bad since we got all these new accounts and then the new and improved (yeah right) software update? And now its mandatory overtime (probably because we are struggling with the new accounts). Yeah, I need the overtime just to make what I used to make without overtime. ugggg. ...
Well, I am out of work. A LOT of MT's have been getting on in the evenings and cleaning out my primary and secondary. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE until recently. Hmmm. Makes me now want to start popping on and work in the mornings. After all, I wanted to work days (not evenings) to begin with, but was forced to work evenings or look for another job. I really need to go back to school and do something else!!! Looks like this company started changing a lot ...
Anyone else in West region sit and wait for months for promised new accounts that never materialized and then were told they were going to be transferred to have work only to have that not happen either? ...
past 6 years. This week am told mandatory to change a week day to weekend hours and still running out of work with email stating "can make up time on a specific weekend day" (saturday). Now am I one of the lucky ones they keep cutting off (NJA) SO AS to force working on weekend time slots (if you want to make up time which is your pay) which the CCM feels is the weak spots on the weekend. YET, they are hiring constantly and have not hired anyone for weekends. Am I the onl ...
anybody else work for the west division? Know it's summer, but another morning got up for my early morning shift here on the east coast and NO JOBS !!! In addition, no communiction from our yet, another, new CCM giving us a heads-up, trying to get back up accts, etc???
????? ...
My supervisior from M*Modal Canada is transferring me to a department that is closer to my province. She says there is more work there. I do not have any objection to this, and I am grateful.
...
Twiddling my thumbs. Usually get audited the first of the month, nuttin' yet. Now that 99% is here - has anyone been affected yet 2 days later ? Thanks - ...
I have a question. Do the TCMs still have their book of business or when we run out of work on our "old" section, are we automatically switched to another section? I work night shift and I see lots of unassigned work but never seem to get any of those. Just wondering. TIA ...
Nothing in our BOB, trying to help others, but work is low too. I just found out something too!!! I had a primary account for years and the account felt like family to me. Knew all the doctors. Yes, I was blessed to have this account. Then about a year ago, I was told this account was being done by their own doctors. (Cannot remember the exact name it is called). A lot of Providence Cinics and hospitals use it. When you go in for a clinic visit, a ...
looking forward to that at all. If they could ensure there would be enough work during your ENTIRE shift I would have NO problem with it. But what are we supposed to do when we get NJA. Right now, my CCM just says to keep checking back throughout the day, which I do, and then I can almost always get my hours in that way.
Can anyone already on lockdown, FT, getting NJA shed some light on how they make up the time and if it is even possible? ...
For over 6 weeks now the West Branch of M-Modal has had low work or no work and everyone is scrambling to get in what hours they need, is there anyone out there who has the true skinny on whether these jobs are being sent out to India, or what the HECK is going on? The supervisor keeps telling everyone that it is just low work, I have a hard time buying that after this long. I need to move on...... ...
Last week was horrendous. I pretty much had the week off without pay of course and hoping that I can work my hours this week at least. Never, ever had NJA situation this bad before and wondering if something is up. I have a very uneasy feeling. ...
The patient is in a s/l *total shell* with a headrest secondary to West Nile virus, some neuromotor dysfunction, but no acute changes.
This is mentioned in the HEENT exam on a discharge, not the reason the pt was admitted so have nothing else to go by and no other notes mention anything. He is just mumbling his way through this whole thing (new PA) and I cannot quite get what he is meaning, the "t" sound and "shell" are the only clear sounding parts, and googling with West Nile virus and h ...
CCM notes the Western power outage yesterday (approximately 5 hours) is not covered by paid down time. However, East Coast outage later in the day was a system problem and would be covered by down time. HUH ? So for power outages we either make up time or use PTO. Can this possibly be legal ?????? ...
just wondering if anybody else in west has been noting marked decrease in work volumes. My major acct used to have, at least on weekends, 200, 300, and even in the 400 numbers of jobs and lately the weekend work has maybe been 50 at a maximum. I guess just another acct gone to India. ...
I have a question. I'm in the SE region where the CTL quit effective immediately last week. Is our supervisor gone, too? She never is good about communication, but I sent her an e-mail 2-1/2 weeks ago which is still unanswered and there has been no communication of any kind for about 3 weeks. Shouldn't there have been a communication about our CTL leaving? Nothing is completed in Schedule Source, etc. ...
Let me first say THANK YOU in advance, because I always forget to come back and do that as I get wrapped up in the next report (or 5 or 10 or 20, etc.)!
I am covering for an ENT doc (I do rheum & ortho) so am totally clueless here!
Doc says: Fiberoptic endoscopy shows some residual pale edema to the right _____ region.
s/l pla-bia, pla-via, cla-via - The more I listen the more I keep changing the beginning sound. The end is very clearly "ee-ah" just not sure of the V or the B. ...
