I was told by my CCM why no work for some - anon
Posted: Jan 03, 2013
apparently they are trying to weed out MT's as they did CCM's. The ones who don't produce or excessive absences, etc.
No way - argh
[ In Reply To ..]Surprised she would admit that. That really does not surprise me, however. Crack that whip.
Additionally, - argh
[ In Reply To ..]How can you get a decent line count when you have more than 5 accounts and must constantly look at client profile so as to not make mistakes? I keep getting told there are those that are doing over 300 lines of VR an hour. How?
According to VR production statistics, average is 200. - dnr
[ In Reply To ..]Whenever I get my VR productivity report, in addition to showing me my average, it states the company-wide average which seems to hover around 200-210. Still minimum wage though.
Doesn't sound truthful to me. - dnr
[ In Reply To ..]If those reasons exist, the MT should be personally informed.
I check DQM everyday, and there just plain isn't any work in my BOB.
couldn't they not put work in certain MT's bob if they wanted to - anon
[ In Reply To ..]If they want to can you,all they have to do is not put work in your BOB. Why do some Mt's have work and others not. Makes sense to me
CCM this morning said work volumes are low - all over. Who can you trust.
[ In Reply To ..]So sad.
Doubt it... I produce way above average - and am never absent
[ In Reply To ..]and I have had no work since Dec. 20th. So, there must be some other explanation.
Wouldn't be too surprised - MModal Livestock
[ In Reply To ..]but I doubt that it's true. Back when I did civilian accounts I was a model employee from a management standpoint and they left me high and dry quite often. Now I'm on the V.A. so I'm out of work all the time because V.A. doctors get holidays off. And by holidays I mean the week before and after each federal holiday. Plus no weekends. Also non-federal holidays, foreign holidays, religious holidays for religions no longer in practice (all hail Poseidon!) and made up holidays. Luckily for me, my real job comes with a free house, so I don't need as much money and I like the days off.
I think the reason why most MModal MTs don't have work is because of our generous sharing with our ILPs. Plus, it's a natural side effect of pro-TAT policy. Their mouths were writing checks their rear ends couldn't cash when they promised all the hospitals a TAT of 2 nanoseconds, so they have to keep more MTs than they have work for to ensure that at the busiest times they don't get fined, so at the leaner times there's nothing.
Still, it beats the alternative. If the doctor doesn't get our report back and the patient comes back in, they might actually have to talk to the patient again! They didn't cheat their way through 8 years of medical school just to have to converse with the common rabble.
This reminds me of Dr. House at the clinic - Mt
[ In Reply To ..]Those episodes where House did not want to talk to the regular person at the clinic and when he did he scared them half to death...
Then again, I wonder if House did his own dictation and if so what the MT had to deal with in that regard... or he was too high and mighty to do that too...
I take no company bennies - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Im basically a freebee worker for them, so I dont see them tossing me to the wolves...Im above average in line counts and always work my shift..Other then once this holiday season I have had work
Forget it! Sorry....I thought the email went to - everyone.
[ In Reply To ..]Geesh.
Since when does M Modal pay out bonus? - MT
[ In Reply To ..]???
If you get 100% on your reports and no errors. - In your email from CCM.
[ In Reply To ..]Forget it!
thats an email I never got - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Its not technically a bonus.. - its a drawing...nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
For me, at that time, was a HUGE bonus. - I am so thankful for it.
[ In Reply To ..]I do care about my reports.
Are you sure? I did not even see this email - either. No message.
[ In Reply To ..]I get way too many emails and have over 900 emails that was supposed to get purged a few months back, but didn't.
I never got anything like this either. May be just that MT's CCM - MT
[ In Reply To ..]I don't think this was offered to all.
what e mail are you referring to? Who said anything abt an e mail - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I never said anything about an e mail, not sure where that came from
Some email sent out to a region - for anyone getting 100%
[ In Reply To ..]on their reports when corrected and then name goes into a drawing and the winner gets a $250.00 check.
Great.. so one MT gets an email and - the same MT gets the bonus!
[ In Reply To ..]I would really like to know how that happened.
What are you talking about?? My group - not one MT.
[ In Reply To ..]Wow! I am happy. Thanks for the congratulations. Geesh!
Yep..you got it baby! - Just kidding. One region did.
[ In Reply To ..]!
You need to carefully read your emails properly. - quality incentive
[ In Reply To ..]Everyone gets this in their email. You probably thought it was an incentive to produce more when it was called Quality Incentive.
Congrats! Everyone has a chance for - QUALITY INCENTIVE
[ In Reply To ..]I guess not everyone reads their emails. Everyone gets a chance at this Quality Incentive.

Quality drives excellence in patient care and must be the primary focus for all Medical Transcriptionists.
Based on meeting requirements, a Medical Transcriptionist and Master Medical Editor can qualify for this incentive.
Incentive Program:
Quality Star Program
Each MT/MME will have at least 6 jobs audited per quarter and will receive a rating of Exceptional, Exceeds, Standard, and Opportunity..
Critical Error = 3 points

Exceeds 1.25-2 points
Standard 2.25-2.75 points
Opportunity 3+ points
QA Rating: Quarterly Bonus
Exceptional $500
Exceeds $250
Standard No additional
Opportunity No additional
Example: Six reports are audited for an MT during the incentive period. Contained within the reports are 3 minor errors and 1 major. Assigning the points above, the MT would receive a 1.25 score, which equates to exceeds, and would receive $250 bonus.

what would you do about it.

An MT Supervisor Told Me (Regarding MTs Who Aren't Doing Well)

An MT supervisor told me that when they aren't happy with an MT's work because they aren't following instructions or are getting sloppy, they just take them off the schedule. Sometimes they do it gradually and other times leave them with little or no work. They keep the work for the MTs who are doing the best job with the least fuss. Interesting. ...

I did not need commentary from another coder(s) regarding what they thought was in it or what they believed should b ...
