Overtime approved all weekend - no name

Posted: Apr 04, 2011

Now NJA on Monday morning, par for course. So glad that the CCM is happy and will get a bonus. Amazing that I can get up in such a good mood, everything going great, until I sit down to this computer. All goes in the cra*pper after that.

I'll trade ya... - have not run out yet but

I have had accounts I am not familiar with all morning with absolutely horrible sound and this one lady whom I'd like to hunt down and do a Chinese water torture on until she learns how to talk without her teeth clenched together!

I would rather have no work than this junk.

Yeah, I have been there too. I would rather play - catch-up later in the

I feel the same way. Scheduled for 8 hours on Sunday and had a hard time getting in 4-1/2 total for the day. My question is that several times on this board it has been mentioned that the CCM receives a "bonus." How does what we do earn him/her that bonus?

The CCMs get bonuses for 100% TAT - go figure

We keep it in 100% TAT because we ACTUALLY DO THE WORK, but they get the bonuses.

I heard they are not small either.

If everything is always in Turn-Around-Time (TAT) - they get bonuses.

That is the only important thing.

I asked off for 4 hours on a Friday in April to go see Elton John in another town. Still is not approved. Hate to tell her, but I have the tickets, asked off in ample time and she can just get over it. But it is still sitting as a "request" and not "granted" on Schedule Source. I guess she will finally grant it THAT day when she sees the workload? ...

I just checked the AHIMA website for coding programs and I noticed that they have Career Step on their list of "AHIMA approved coding programs" but I could not find Andrews School listed at all on their site. Is AHIMA approval for coding as important as AHDI approval for transcription programs? Everyone recommends Andrews for coding but Im confused now. Could someone explain please. Also if it is important can you please let me know where you went to school for coding? I know Andrews and M ...

I put in a request well over a month ago for half a day off and still have not seen a yay or nay. It is getting close to the time I requested for and I have to say I am finding this quite ridiculous, especially when we are limited on how much we can carry over at the end of the year. How can anyone make plans when it takes so long to approve or disapprove. ...

"so the only choices you have at this time should you run out of work is to make-up the time, use PTO or Excused Absence – No Pay." What's the diff, as long as it's excused? I know this was discussed the other day, but I am still unclear on the difference. TIA ...

It seems like a lot of people on this board have gone or are going to Andrews for coding. I have seen a lot of jobs for coders where you obviously need to be certified but also have done your education through an AHIMA approved program. Isn't Andrews NOT approved through AHIMA? Wouldn't it be better for me to just do my training through AHIMA? Seems like a lot of money to spend on a program that isn't recognized by AHIMA. ...

I have noticed some job ads which say they would consider a new graduate from an AHIMA-approved course. How do certain programs become an approved course? I had a very thorough course that is not ahima approved and would like to apply for those jobs but afraid I would be turned down. :/ ...

My TSM told us to not make up for NSA outside of our shift unless we touch base with her first to make sure all shifts have access to work. I know work is slim around the clock, but hoping this will even things out a bit. Wondering how she is going to make sure some people aren't still booking in lines off their shift. Have to hope it helps. ...

a correction to be made (it's been 3 days!). I'm wondering if I should go ahead and approve it anyway, even though if I do I will be short 3 hours for the week w/o the correction. I'm afraid I won't be paid at all if I don't approve. Does anyone know if you still get paid if your time card is not approved or approved late? I wonder how long I should wait? TIA ...

I was "terminated" after within 1 week of my company-approved (FMLA) leave of absence. The excuse they used was that my company "could not accommodate" a leave of absence for the extended period of time that I would be out of work. I needed the extended leave of absence because I had CMC arthroplasty with pin placement. My surgeon gave me a written note that stated I would be in a hand cast for 6 weeks followed by 6 weeks of physical therapy, and he would not ...

Has anyone taken any of the AHIMA-approved coding programs and gotten credentials and a job? I'm just wondering which of them prepare you adequately to pass the credential tests and get hired. I looked on the AHIMA site at the distance learning coding programs they recommend, and here they are: Camden County College Career Step Dakota State University Great Falls College Montana State University Lone Star College North Dakota State College of Science Santa Barbara City College Shor ...

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...
