Master Medical Editor Certification Exam - Carol
Posted: Jun 13, 2012
Does anyone know anything about the MME certification exam? I have searched for it on Google and cannot find anything.
Thanks.
Is this another invention - of AHDI?
[ In Reply To ..]Sounds like another attempt to rake MTs over the coal.
Master Medical Editor - Carol
[ In Reply To ..]I contacted AHDI and they only offer the RMT and CMT certifications.
I think it's an invention of - MModal
[ In Reply To ..]that's the only place I've ever seen the term used.
I didn't think there was a certification - Just a test to see if can be one
[ In Reply To ..]I'm an MME and all I did was take a test not too much different than the new-hire one to see if I qualify. I didn't think there was a special one to be "certified." Where did you hear this from?
Correction: Just a test to see if *you* can be one - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Perhaps that is because - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]it should be called the superhuman hearing test.
I'd probably fail it, even after ---- sm - flmt
[ In Reply To ..]30 years of transcription, at least according to MModal, to keep me from making more money. Anyway, I think it would be redundant to put the "MME" after the MD that is already after my name.
its an open book test... how could you fail? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]?
Don't do it - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I've been an MME for 3-4 years now. I accepted the invitation to test because I had been dealing with month after month of NJA and the MME "carrot" was dangled in front of my nose as a "promotion" - "It's a way of opening up a new avenue of income for you".
What I soon found out was that 99% of my work flow suddenly went from ASR/straight typing to $0.03 cpl MME work. This level of income, after being a Medquist employee for 12 years.
They will put all kinds of fancy names on it, wrap it up in a frilly box and present it to you as a promotion but your income WILL go down. After being "promoted" to MME, earning HALF the pay I used to earn, I have now found myself on Food Stamps and barely able to provide for myself and my son.
MModal/Medquist is very, very clever about the ways they coerce us into "promotions" that are only creative ways to reduce our pay. DON'T DO IT.
Wow, think of the money this company would make if - we all became MMEs
[ In Reply To ..]It actually makes perfect sense that they would want to migrate us all over to an MME position, that way the Indian employees could mangle the document for just pennies and then we would correct it and make it look beautiful for just pennies!
How very smart of you, MModal. Since you're so good at manipulating people into profit, I wish you were my financial advisor ... maybe then you can teach me how to pay my bills on minimum wage.

CCS CERTIFICATION EXAM

I am an MT, have basic knowledge of terminology, but there are so many new terms that I must learn, not to mention the A and P section. I do the lessions, do the chapter review tests, take the weekly exams and do well, but I do not think I am retaining too much after I test. The coding tests, however, ...

You may sit the exam prior to that and will receive the credential in "Apprentice" status until you have satisfied the experience requirement. One year of the required 2 years can be satisfied by attending a course that meets certain requirements. I am aw ...
