I think if I was sticking around with MM I would try the coding

Wanting to see what these upcoming changes are. Call me a sucker, but.... have another job and just keeping this for Christmas money right now. Who knows?? We may get bought out by a company with a heart. ...

Is anyone having problems with DQS sticking? It just started on mine a little while ago but it's irritating. I was wondering if it maybe had something to do with the new Kaspersky program we had to install. ...

I recently lost my MT job with a pretty decent company. It was due to lack of work. I know this is happening a lot these days, and I've been reading a lot of the posts here. I know that no field is perfect, but I have to do something. How many of you plan on (or can) stick around to see how things go, and how many of you are going back to school or getting into a different field? ...

Does anyone have any suggestion to stop a footpedal from sticking? I have to push on it several times to get the voice to play and then when I lift my foot up the voice files continues to play. I tried blowing in it to remove dust but that didn't help. It just started this morning and it is driving me crazy!!! Thanks in advance! ...

...with access to any account they choose, any WT they choose, any MD they want. So you need not wonder why you are only getting the sucky long rambling dictations or unintelligble ESLs. ...

I just wanted to thank whoever suggested WD-40 for foot pedal sticking. I have an IN-USB-1 foot pedal that was sticking. I did try cleaning the dust out -- put it back together but it was still sticking -- that is when I would depress the PLAY button, it sometimes would keep playing and press again to stop -- continually -- sometimes I would press the PLAY button and it would not play, etc. Someone on here suggested WD-40 without taking the pedal apart. I took this a ...

and it spewed. It only dripped a little bit on the keyboard and I immediately cleaned it up, but obviously a drop or two got down into the shift key and now it is sticking and it is driving me bonkers. It's a new keyboard so I really don't want to have to pop out the key. Any other suggestions? ...

I don't work for MQ, but work for another company that uses DocQscribe. Over the past few months I've had problems with program slowdowns, where it takes a while for what I've typed to "catch up", the audio keeps going even when I take my foot off the pedal, and I have trouble going back in the audio (it "sticks" at a certain point). I did a search of this board and see that some MQ employees have had a similar problem. I've done a number of things to try to ...

Accepted a job, gave 2 weeks notice, and yesterday was my first day. I was to be helping out transcription (1000 jobs behind), and then sitting with billing and training with coding as their coder will be out on maternity leave in December. The office is adding another surgeon, and they are rapidly expanding. So I gave a proper 2 weeks' notice to my former employer (2 hours on the road there and back, low salary - now less than half distance and $3 more an hour) and starte ...

Is there really such a thing as an AA degree in coding? Sounds odd to me. Health administration or management, or RHIT I can see, but coding? Is it not better to just become Certified even if you dont have an AA degree? ...

Wondering if there are any coders out there who can give me an idea of the fate of coding due to the EMR. Are there still coding jobs out there? Would it be wise to attend school for coding at this point or do you think it will be lost to the EMR eventually? I live in a rural area and there are advertisements for registered/accredited coders at medical facilities, but I'm afraid of spending all that time and money on schooling only to not be able to find a job. Any information/insight w ...

I am thinking about changing from MT to coding. Are there many opportunities to work from home with coding? What would be a good school to attend? Thank you for the help. ...

My sister is taking an online coding course and complains that there is no real "teaching," that she's basically just doing the work in the work book and entering answers online, then taking an online chapter test. This makes me wonder about the necessity of signing up for an actual course. I would like to learn how to code, but to me, without any actual instruction, what's the purpose of signing up for one of these online courses? ...

Anyone know if MM has an age restriction on new coding students? ...

Thanks for your response. ...

I've been an MT for going on 8 years now, and I've been throwing around the idea of taking a coding class. I would really like to have something else to fall back on, as it seems that MT'ing is going more and more to VR. There's a local coding class that begins in January for $1700, but I wanted to get some feedback of current coders before signing up. Is the demand for coders still fairly high? Is it hard to find a job as a newbie, even with already having experience in the ...

I have almost 12 years experience as an MT (turn 30 in a month ACK!) My mom has been telling me for a couple years now (since it started going downhill) that I should maybe think about coding as a career. I guess she thinks I'd be good at it, but I have no idea. I have just started my research but I thought I would kind of get some pros and cons about it see if anyone had advice or thoughts on anyone thinking about it. I always feel like I'm too old to start som ...

What was the best thing about the coding course you took? Did it prepare you for the CCS and CPC exams or maybe just the CCA? Did you take any of those exams and did you pass or fail them? What course did you take? Did you think it was hard or easy? You don't need to answer all of the questions, but maybe a couple of them. Thanks. ...

there's just ONE little thing that keeps me doubting the possibility of it being a long-term career: I keep seeing more and more ads every week for "at home coders". Does this make you at least a little nervous? It makes me a LOT nervous. We all know that once MTs started working from home, the MT field went into a tailspin, pay-wise, because "work-at-home" seems to translate into "work-in-India", instead. Also I see some ads for MTSOs that also offer coding. ...

Is Evaluation and management coding hard to learn? ...

I am generally pretty good at making my own decisions; however, I need advice on what to do in this situation. I am currently an MT making $55,000-$60,000 year. The last few years MT work slowed down due to VR/EMR and it was harder and harder to replace lost accounts. While I was looking for another client/MTSO to fill the gap last year, I took a college course for coding and passed the CPC thinking I would have a back-up plan if needed; however, I found more MT work shortly after passing the C ...

I passed the CCS and CPC exam 8 months ago but have yet to find a job :(. I busted my bu** to become a certified coder, and now that I am one, no one will hire me without experience. I live in a small town. We have one hospital. I applied and was flat out told they cannot hire coders without minimum 2 years experience. I asked if I could volunteer or job shadow and they said no. No jobs there in HIM at all. Our local medical clinic has a coding company t ...

I think it's a good artcile about coding and will give you a glimpse into it too. ...

Before I take this leap of faith into coding school, will the EHR/VR technology be sinking the coding ship too? ...

Can anyone help out with a basics coding course I am taking? ...

Just got an e-mail from my manager stating that if you get accepted into the program, all money paid while training will have to be paid back if you do not complete or pass the course or if you pass and do not stay with the company for 24 months following completion of the training. You also still have to work your regular number of hours. If you can't get your homework done in the 20 paid hours, then you will have to do it on your own time. ...

I've seen lots of people ask questions about coding, but I have some questions I haven't seen asked before and was hoping somebody could answer them. I'd hate to go to school for something and then learn the hard way that I hate the job. BTDT and don't want to do it again! -What do you like best about coding? -What do you hate about coding? -What is the most stressful part of the job? -What kinds of people would like coding? Thanks in advance for any answers ...

based on reading here that they prepare you for the CCS, which is know is pretty much mandatory . Anyway, what I read there about their coding program sounded really good, but then I read about their transcription program. I now have lost respect for this school. How can I believe what they say about coding when they tout medical transcription as still being a good career? I know I work for the notoriously WORST of the worst company, Nuance, but I think all MT companie ...

Are some coders doing coding for private practices as an IC from home? MT for 22 years thinking of coding school. If this is being done, how would this work? Would you charge per report? Do you have the reports emailed to you and then how would you do the coding? Would you need to remotely log into their electronic records system? I apologize if these questions sound dumb. Truthfully I really know very little about coding as I have just begun researching ...

I think if I was sticking around with MM I would try the coding - anon

Yeah! - sm

Yeah, let's get all these stupid MT'S offering them coding course - smr

I find it very interesting that they've been training offshore coders for years. - anon

Yeah, I found that interesting as well. Perhaps - training is not going well there?
