I'm glad I found this board

I'm so glad this board is here. I have been an MT for 19 years. I'm trying to break into the coding field. I have worked around medical records for my entire career, first med records job (I know it's not called that any more) in 1979. Then I worked in a hospital clinical area, then as an MT for 19 years while my kids were at home. I would like to translate this experience into a coding position. In my MT work, I have mostly done acute care wor ...

I copied this off - "As for now, it seems like the QCs have been instructed to drag the postaudit scores below 99% of all the ITPs crossing 30k lines per month and thereby causing a significant reduction in payout. The QCs are really nitpicking. Furthermore, they would pick a report from 2-3 months back and say that there was this mistake in that file. This really sucks..." - This makes perfect sense to me, I did have good audit scores until I got to 30k lines. ...

and thought it would be of interest to all MTs. This filing is incredibly long, but the most - interesting read concerning Posted: Dec 8th, 2012 - 8:44 am In Reply to: Found this statement in the SEC filings. - ARE YOU KIDDING ME??M-Modal I have read including many eye-opening facts about the offshore component of business. I didn't know that M-Modal uses "cloud" technology. "Speech recognition and natural language understanding technologies, including our own, ar ...

I did my last ASR for MModal last Friday and started my new job today. My heart goes out to all of you trying to keep your heads above water with Mmodal. I've never seen such a mess of a company as this one is and from the posts on here, it just keeps getting worse. With the weight of ASR, crappy pay scale, NJA, dozen of accounts, working holidays and weekends off my shoulders, my stress level is almost nil. I cleared out my work station and had enough paperwork to throw away to b ...

So I finally get my check. I say finally because after many emails they admitted this week they held my training pay a payperiod. So this check should've had my training pay, a full week and another half week's worth of work. Nope! Came in waaaaaaaaaaaay under what it was supposed to be, and of course, I can't access the time card anymore. So glad I left that dishonest company! ...

I am getting my foot back in the water on a PT basis. Have tried about 4 other companies out there and didn't find a better fit yet. I know all companies have good and bad, but all the changes MQ made that enticed me to leave are now being instituted by other companies too. It is like MQ was the leader of the pack and they all thought --- Hummm, if they can, so can we. ...

This is what I have been complaining about for a while now -- that my ASR accounts are HORRIBLE. They are not even putting out anything that makes sense, lots of gibberish, sometimes made-up words, and is taking a huge amount of time to edit this bunk. At least now some other accounts are doing the same thing and I know I am not nuts. ASR is regressing. ...

Today is my last day with MQ (formerly Spheris) and I quit just in time. I got the new MT Rewards Plan document and I don't know if everyone is affected the same but it would mean my pay would go down another 10%. Are these folks just plain crazy or what? Good riddance to this whole company. ...

So... I worked for WMX for 3 years (after MQ for 7), then I left to work for the local school system for a year and a half. I got laid off due to state budget cuts. My former manager from WMX took me back but said I had to work third shift -- maybe not permanently -- no promises. I worked my *#% off for 6 months, almost to the day. It wrecked my sleep patterns, my personal life, everything... but I needed the money and benefits, so I did it. Finally, my account went through the ISR conversi ...

MModal didn't cut my pay this week, I haven't been thrown into the cesspool yet, I haven't been put on QA review (yet) and I have plenty of work. So we'll see what tomorrow brings. ...

back in the day, I took the course at the junior college. The cost was negligible. I'd be really upset if I spent what these schools charge, only to get a job that pays minimum wage. ...

Can I confess to a guilty pleasure? I left Nuance back in July and I confess that at the end of the day I love coming on this site and feeling like my decision to leave gets validated every time I do. Honestly, it feels better than chocolate, and less calories. I left with an "Anything would be better than this mentality," and actually it's been true. I started working at a large DIY store, made way more money, but admittedly did find it pretty boring (I think becaus ...

I've been sitting here reading all the garbage about MQ and their "yET ONE MORE" great idea HA. I can't believe it....well, yes, I can. They have come up with yet one more terrible idea (that won't last) and a way to "cheat" the transcriptionist/editor out of more money!!!!!! "Right the first time" and docking 3 cpl if you send too many reports to QA....GOOD GRIEF! I feel another class action suit about to be filed. LOL LOL Anyway, I ...

I had put that the patient had "intimate slurred speech" -- (that's what my ears heard!) -- but dictator had said "intermittent slurred speech". SHEW! Brain and ears must work together, always!! ...

After nearly 20 years in this industry, I am happy to say that I am free now! Praise God! ...

Some KSMTs posted they got paid today, some got paid on the 1st. This tells me this was not an issue with late line counts or the payroll guru asking them to kindly roll payroll ahead a few days. Truth has to be they do not have the money available to make payroll and had to pick and choose who to pay based on the money available. Those who asked for hardship case or who they did not want to risk losing got paid. Those they thought could be strung along for 2 more days were not paid un ...

I am back to post an update from a few months back. I have been attending Andrews for a while now and quite honestly should be finished with the course, but I hit a few bumps in the road, which set me back as far as time. I was feeling REALLY discouraged a few months ago and was just trying to hurry and get through it all and feeling like I had gotten myself into a huge mess with coding. But, I am happy to say that I am so thrilled I didn't give up. Andrews is an awe ...

There are nothing but a bunch of highly hateful and bitter MTs on here. Wow!! I think you all need therapy! ...

"Richard Gwinn, MD, director of urgent care at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group in San Diego sings voice recognition's praises: "It took me less than one-half hour from the time I first opened Dragon Medical to the time I was using it. It’s been a life changing application. I go home earlier. I don’t have stacks of charts on my desk and the swelling has gone down in my fingers (from typing).” This was taken off Nuance's FB page. ...

I left, it seems to have gone downhill quick. ...

every single thing we do rather than fixing the question mark problem in Fluency, or the fuzzy physician search, etc. Sigh. ...

It sounds like the new pay scale isn't as bad as it originally seemed. Thanks for sharing. :) ...

I think I have found my out of MTing finally. I am going to try to be a home health aide. It is perfect for me in every way!! I am just so excited! ...

I found the below on the Company Board, and wondered if this could be true? ... Because you've already put in your 40 hours. It is illegal to change your timesheets so they don't have to pay overtime. If they can't give you sufficient work and keep hiring people who take your work away from you, find a company that will give you enough work. Save the emails and send them to the department of labor. ...

I just found out that even though I am doing the minimal required lines (120) I am not earning minimum wage and so even if I increase my lines I won't make any more money....Until I am typing over 160 lines. I am so angry. Now they are pressuring me to get higher lines so I can get out of them paying minimum wage. Which is insulting in itself. I am going to try to do it and then be a benefited employee. But I am just angry that 120 lines doesn' ...

I'm glad I found this board - LucyK
