Posted: Mar 14, 2012

I never asked that question but on my interview, I was told we were not paid for headers. To me, that's included. It is a royal pain to search for these. I will check the website of Sutter but if they are not there, then I quickly create the entry with name and hospital entity and leave it at that. For 4 cpl, I'm not googling names.
Thanks,,yea Im dont trying to be totally responsible - going broke too fast
The patient has a few-month history of thigh pain and numbness. Overall, I suspect the symptoms are likely secondary to radicular origin associated with his L4-5 spondylosis with foraminal narrowing. However, other causes including meralgia paresthetica or diabetic s/l amioxi should be excluded.
I appreciate any help you guys can offer! Thanks :) ...
Ugh, I never encountered this before. I have some different accounts. There is this INANE gender check which kicks out he or she if it is not the patient's gender. OMG, the dumas people who have nothing better to do and set this up apparently do not realize males may have mothers or girl friends and vice versa. I'm so sick of wasting my time fixing the worthless things they have set up to make things "easier" for us. We'd be better off if maybe t ...
I had it all. The job I wanted through SOAP Transcription. One little thing got me fired and I don't want it to happen to any of you regardless if you're new or a veteran of the field. Most of us at home workers, with whomever we work for, have rules about the internet. That being said, I was towards the end of my shift last Sunday, and wanted to check the score of a football game. I figured it was only once, what could it hurt. Well, now I know, all too painfully. I wasn't ...
I have been recently sending out my resume along with inquiring whether certain companies I am interested in are currently hiring. About 90% have not had even the courtesy to acknowledge receiving the e-mail. I am wondering if anyone also recently looking has had this problem and if anyone knows if companies not hiring generally keep this info on file or does it make sense in a month or two to recontact. I can certainly tell the market has cha ...
As I was reading through a lot of the depressing posts I thought I would share my experience. I have been an MT for almost 4 years. I was with the same company for almost 3 as an IC. I worked part-time to stay home with my kids. I completely agree with others about how hard it can be with the being in work mode all the time and the ups and downs. At the time I wasn't the sole provider though. However my husband got laid off the beginning of this year and I started to look for full-time ...
Does anyone know of a company hiring that supports both satellite and 64-bit windows Vista? Just found out my hospital is keeping their work inhouse as of the end of this month:( ...
Check with the BBB. They shouldn't just have NO activity, but be part of the ongoing audit, not just boast they have had NO activity. Heck, I have had no activity!!! It is only as good as what is submitted.
You may have been in business 10+ years but screwed people over 5+ years of that time. If no one reports you, the activity continues....
Watch RIPOFF reports. They do not lie. Unfortunately, not enough people file these reports so some of us are ...
I know these things have probably been covered before here, but could someone please give me some general advice on what it is to be an IC? Do you just send the IRS a quarterly payment and that's it? What about Social Security and matching? I have always done my own taxes, but I am in new territory here and probably will need a tax preparer now, but until then.....
Also, when testing for companies, I find I cannot use my foot pedal with some. How can I do that?  ...
and came up with a listing for it on eBay.
I wonder if you get any discount on your hospital bill if it is bidding on your surgical equipment on eBay, or even if you can bring your own. Forget high surgeon fees, this stuff is radically expensive!!! ...
I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors.
Thanks,
MeL ...
I know someone who needs to be checked on and every time I google free public record search, it takes me to a PAY site. Can anyone direct me to a FREE site to search public records? TIA ...
Is it me or is this more of a pain recently? Seems like the specialities are not listed and instead it just says medicine so it is really hard to find some doctors, and the search by just specialty just doesn't work anymore? I've had to go into the hospital websites several times today to find a doc by the specialty, cause God forbid they spell the off the wall names. ...
When I try to search for some company that has very common words in it like "Transcription Unlimited" my results are really not what I'm looking for - like posts about unlimited long-distance calls. Is there a way around this problem? ...
Coders who post on this board need to remind
themselves that it is basically for MTs who are networking.
A medical transcriptionist who is a coding student or has become a newly
certified coder has now learned in the last couple of days that:
1.
MT experience, other than medical
knowledge, means nothing in the coding world.
There IS a big difference between school coding and actual work.
2.
The ...
I recently graduated MT school from Career Step and I'm in the process of looking up companies that would be good to apply for. I have a small list of potential companies but I would rather not apply without any feedback on the company first. I'd rather not be offered a job and take it not knowing anything about them. If you know anything (good or bad) about the following companies I would greatly appreciate your input!
MedScribe
TriStar
RI Transcription

Honestly, why when you search a company do tons of posts from 2006 and previous come up and you have to go through pages and pages of old posts before you see the recent info?The posts should be date order, latest first, IMHO. Who cares what people wrote about a company in 2006 when so many things have changed?
I think anything older than a few years ago should not even be included in the search results since not only have most companies changed massively, our work environment has as well, i.e. ...
I'm searching everywhere on web for info on the best recommended schools for Medical Transcription. Canscribe is said to be 'one of the best', however it's soooo expensive. Does anyone know a few other good schools recommended by AHDI ?

I am searching for comfortable headsets or earbuds. What have you experienced MTs found that works the best? I want to hear well, while being comfortable...:) ...
Is it just me..I am on their company desktop so curious...If I am in a report and go to the F5 to search the all mighty repository then it messes up my DocQmanage search page and I have to sign out of there and resign in from scratch, doesnt even save my initial information..And why cant we be in the docqmanage search area and the docqmanage area that has the QA feedback at the same time..Having to constantly sign in and out is causing more trouble then anything.. ...
I've been noticing available jobs that have various but similar titles, but basically the function is as described in the link. I think I'd really enjoy doing this, but I'm not sure what to study (some sort of medical office program?) . Ideally, I need to take a course online if there's something decent, but I'm enrolled at the technical college in my home town for fall, so I could go that way. In looking at what they offer, though, nothing seems like i ...
They are chastizing us for making minimum wage "too often;" can they possibly believe that after we were used to making $40,000+ a year that we have just become lazy and are happy with making minimum wage? They don't see the irony that a job this difficult and that takes so much training and experience pays us the same as taking orders at Burger King? I can't even wrap my head around such denseness. Yeah, keep griping at us for making minimum wage, that ought to ...
On every job I got tonight the doctors say exactly what they said in plain English... but Mr. ASR puts something different or leaves huge chunks out! Every job! I'm sitting here like.... really ASR? Really??? You didn't catch the 6 words before he said "hospital" and he was speaking normal? Is it just ASR being stupid or is this the MASTER PLAN of MQ? ...
This is something that has been bothering me. I feel stupid asking, but since it's rather important, I ask.
cpl
Currently, I am making 0.083 per line typed. I see people stating things like 7 cpl or .8 cpl.
Does that equate to 7.0 per lined type (seems crazy!) and 0.8 per line typed?
I'm currently being offered incentive pay for working on my days off. They stated 0.5 cpl extra per line typed. Since I have to enter my own pay and production, I'm just confused a ...
For the last week or so, every time I try to read a thread on this site, the U-Verse ad throws me to the bottom of the page and back up about a dozen times. I can't make sense of any of the postings. I've tried opting out and changing my settings on "Tools," but it keeps coming back. Help!!!!
