This is what I just got in my yahoo mail: MT. LAUREL, N.J., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedQuist Inc. (Nasdaq: MEDQ), a leading provider of technology-enabled clinical documentation services, has announced an agreement with healthcare informatics software developer Artificial Medical Intelligence Inc. I looked them up. Besides doing away with coders, it was hard to discern if this company is being hooking up with MQ to eventually do away with us. Anyone have any info? Tks. ...

Interesting article mentioning voice recognition technology, etc. ...

but accounts in my own BOB, I started getting ALL non-BOB today even though apparently there was plenty of work on my primary. So I though, hmmmm, I bet I'm getting audited....sure enough......I looked in statistics and I WAS. Surprise!!! --- after 6 audited reports (very difficult, unfamiliar ESLs and new-to-me work types) I have a score of 97.7%. I guess I failed my second audit. That makes me so bleeping mad!!! So, does this mean I will go on 100% QA immedi ...

Didn't have NJA too much (but regularly) BEFORE this CCM switch. But old CCM said that new CCM is bringing 3 more accounts with her so it should even less likely that we get NJA. What happens? As soon as new CCM arrives suddenly there is LESS work. Nothing but NJA as soon as I sign on. Before it would at least take until several hours into my shift. Well, I hope they want to keep paying me the work availability rate. I'm in CA. They have ...

Earning and deduction code chart shows "BNSUP" - Production bonus for CORPORATE employees .... nice. This greedy, immoral place sickens me to my stomach. ...

the time they will be paying UE. If they fire ya, eventually UE will run out. If they keep you as an employee, UE could go on a long time, on and off. Maybe this says nothing good about the overall work situation, if they are willing to let MTs go. It means TAT is easier to meet with fewer MTs and if they are willing to pay UE to ex-employees, tells me they know they will never have need of them again and eventually UE will run out. ...

Every time MQ sends out a survey they use it to justify a pay cut or cesspool or other "great" ideas. They twist the results of the survey to fit their agenda and then say- see the MTs agree that ASR is better or they are sick of running out of work. JMHO but I am not filling it out so they can use my answers to make my job worse than it already is. ...

Sorry this is kind of long, but I am looking for advice on whether I should look for a new job or hang on to the one I have. I am a newbie and have only been working for about 6 months. I was hired as a "statutory employee" at 0.0625/line with spaces. Since they pay some of my taxes, I'm not sure what my actual line rate would be. I work M-F. No nights or weekends required. I have no minimum line requirement, rarely run out of work. I c ...

I'm just curious how well other ICs stick to their schedules, do you ask for time off or just let management know you won't be there, do you work extra when management asks??? Sometimes I feel like I behave as if I am an employee, but without any of the benefits. I'd like to know what the norm is out there. Thanks! ...

Used in orthopedics, amber stick?? ...

When on conference call about new compensation program, specifically asked if QA was going to get pickier and was told oh definitely no, they will not. Well, I have found that not to be true. One correction was a period..another a period, another a left out word (where the doctor changed their mind constantly they didnt even know what they wanted to say, so I felt it was a judgment call) it wasnt even a medical word or a word that changed the meaning, even if it is .25 points off tha ...

For those of you who are currently coders, do you intend to stick around for ICD10? Are any of you planning on getting out of the field? Do you know what your employer has in mind as far as training staff for the ICD10? Just curious. I just talked to an HIM director who said she is worried as more than half of her staff has indicated they intend to leave! Should make for a lot of jobs for new coders. ...

Since I can't get the same answer out of my QA, my CCM and others, I guess I'll poll the audience. We DO NOT put the zeros on medications, like 4.0 mg should be typed 4 mg, right? Do we put the zeros on...welll...pretty much anything else, like creatinine 2.0, temperature 98.0? And no, I'm not new. I've been told many different things over the past 10 years that now I'm just messed up, confused and too tired to think straight. ...

I give up. I've submitted so many resumes and applications that my head is spinning. I can't help it that my experience is more than two years ago. The doctor died and the practice split up! I live in a small town where outsourcing is unheard of and the MTs work at a place until they die. I passed my typing test and editing test with All-Type, had my interview, discussed contract terms, and the woman said she would send the contract out. But she ...

Ever heard of a disk on a stick for a stapedotomy? ...

I'm on my 29th report for the day and I have not had one decent dictator yet. It's been solid insanity. The whole day has been filled with: 1. ESLs. They are saying the right words, but they're not pronouncing them anywhere close to correct. 2. What the heck? Everyone is yawning and talking. Please stop talking, go ahead and yawn (if you can't find the pause feature!) and then continue with your hard to unde ...

Has anyone heard of chloraseptic prep stick for knee surgery. ...

I work on v 9, 10 and 11 and I have noticed that when I make corrections on some VR reports the corrections do not seem to stick by the time they get to QC. I have seen mistakes that I distinctly remember correcting while I am editing and then they show up as not corrected on the QC reviews. Thankfully it hasn't happened on post-audit but it is pretty upsetting. I had my TSM check a couple of them and sure enough, the mistakes were there when sent by me, so either I have become a hor ...

I am looking for a PT IC position that I truly can work when I have the opportunity and not set a rigid schedule. I can somewhat adhere to hours, but sometimes cannot. Are there any companies out there that allow this? Thanks! ...

How much longer will you be able to last if this "slow down" continues? And will you stay with them if they sell out to another company? ...

Not sure if they are saying VSE, PSE or BSE? It's a protocol if a nurse or healthcare worker accidentially sticks themselves with a needle and I tried googling, but I can't find anything definitive. TIA ...

we will stay on our primary accounts more often. Sure enough, the day after this happens the OPPOSITE happens; I now am constantly bouncing all over. I thought the docs on MY accounts were bad enough until I'm getting these! OMG! And not all of them are ESL, eitehr. They are so ridiculous it's not even FUNNY. In fact, I have never had so many evil fantasies in my life! Here's one of them...ENJOY...... So I have rounded up ALL of t ...

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

My employer has started resorting to the carrot-on-a-stick game to try to squeeze more work out of us when TATs get behind. One "carrot" is so-called "premium" pay for working extra hours on the weekend. Two catches: Your week's total still has to add up to 40 hours, and you don't get the "premium" cpl until you've already done your day's minimum lines. Oh wait, there's a third catch: Most of the work is the worst of the worst ESLs, their tr ...

I have another question. When one does a draft in VR, does MT get paid for all lines in the draft or would an MT get paid if it has to be edited. I will be trying to learn this in the next few weeks and I am scared to death I will not catch on and then I might be without a job. I have a feeling I might not get paid for the whole draft report. Then again it may depend on the company. Any opinions please. Thanks ...
