A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry

Ready, Set, GOOOOOOOOO - K&S

Posted: Oct 17, 2012

Well it's that time!!! Next Tuesday is my last day at work (the hospital I work for goes live with MModal). There are 12 remote transcriptionists at our hospital and only one accepted a position with MModal. So, whoever works in possibly the North region you all will be getting lots of work soon. None of us are doing very much to get the work caught up. It's kind of bittersweet but since we were officially outsourced and signed our paperwork, none of us care to get their dictation done as we did before. I have finally accepted the fact my job is going away and feel relieved that it is almost over. I do find it hard to give myself any longer. It's all I can do to get my 8 hours in as the desire to work for them has since faded. Anyway, I start to school next week and it's on to better things. I am excited about school and will enjoy my time off on severance and UE until the right job comes my way. I took my MModal offer package back and put it in the shredder at work in front of my supervisor (that was kind of fun)!

I am free at last - and thanks to all of you who answered my questions at the beginning of my ordeal with MModal and my employer. I was totally in the dark about MTSOs albeit MModal or whoever and had never had to deal with working for one. What came to light was that I would NEVER depend on working for a MTSO for my livelihood. Just could not find one positive thing that could come from that option. So, here I GOOOO and wish me luck. I do pray that whatever is salvageable about being a MT can happen in the near future - I just hate that I cannot afford to do the career I have enjoyed and loved. Take care all and again my prayers are with you!

Good luck to you! What are you going to school for? - nm

chose not to go with them were denied UE because our employer notified UE that they turned down the employment offer. Even with an explanation, UE considered it refusal of work. Good luck to you and happy schooling :-)

I just had to commend you on shredding the MModal offer in front of your supervisor - job well done!!

You are doing a very smart thing by not going with MModal -- believe me, it's a decision that you will not regret. Good luck to ya! Thanks to thinking about all of us who will suffer a while longer until we can figure out what to do and get away from this job that definitely has more not good than good to offer us anymore!! It's a shame that our profession had to end up like this, so demoralizing.

You are making a very wise decision - bye bye birdie

not going with M-Modal. Find another job, prferably in another profession.

And if you EVER second guess yourself - about it

I assure you, your schedule with M-Modal would suck, you would not be typing your familiar account, voice wreck sucks, your benefits would suck, you would never get a holiday off approved, and your salary would drop AT LEAST by half from your old in-house earnings.

This is post is absolutely correct 100%. - YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. NEVER FORGET IT. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.... LEAVING AND NOT GOING TO THIS COMPANY. Some of us stay because it is like being in an abusive relationship and hard to leave because this company makes us think there is nothing else better in this world. We are complacent with our jobs and just keep getting abused and have no self-worth or trying to hold on to retire. The newbies have no clue and then they make the same pay as someone who has been at this job for 25 years. It really sucks.

I picked myself up and have been attending school the last year. My future of having a new career keeps me moving on and after the conference call we just had, I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING MYSELF.

Good luck to you! You will do great!

I have done this for years now but have just almost reached the end of what I can take. I have fought retiring, wanted to continue on but I feel the work is just not worth the hassel anymore. We are held to an almost impossible level now, just us, not what kind of dictation is sent our way. Nothing is said to ask others to clean up their dictation to where it is halfway audible but let us have 1 word left off that is not even meaning to the context of the report and we are called on the carpet f ...

Been doing MT & QA for 30 years, since I was in high school! Boy, how things have changed. My kids are grown and in college now, one in Medical School studying to be a doctor, and I think, I am ready now to go out into the rat rate of 9-5 out of the home! Thinking, administrative assistant, type of position. My wrists and hands hurt, CTS, and can't get it fixed because I can't be without pay for 6 weeks waiting to heal, etc. etc. etc. It was a fantastic career, all-in ...

I've got over 16 years of experience with both acute care and multispecialty clinic. I'm tired of being insulted by being offered line rates that I would have starved on 10+ years ago. I'm very interested in pursuing a QA position. For those of you who have done or are doing QA, how did you know when you were qualified to handle it? I would appreciate any information or tips you would be willing to share. Thanks! ...

Ok, so we DO NOT get paid for reading through our QA feedback, we are getting our line counts cut, and we do not get paid for looking up old reports to cut down on QA?

Okay, the Q lost my account of 13 years, put me on new local account, just went live. All I am hearing is how unhappy the new client is and is in jeopardy, this after about 3 weeks. All I am hearing is we are sending too many blanks, need to check old reports (excuse me, after 3 weeks not many of those), reports must be perfect. Next to no client profile to go on. QA person is trying like crazy to load repository, don't blame her at all. But the dictators are n ...

You will be "offered" lots and lots of OT every day, and asked to mail in your committments for every weekend. It is not "mandatory", but if you do not do it, you will be written by your SM asking you to. Same thing. So tiring, day in and day out. Guess I am not a "team player" because I feel I was hired to work 40 hours and any time after that is "My Life Time." ...

At this point I'd make more money waiting tables even though I'm older. It's crazy. With the VR I'm working double the hours for half the pay. Not to mention there are 3 new QA's on my accounts and each want things done differently. I'm so fed up. This is all I know but figure if an old dog can learn new tricks........... ...

I am asking this simply because I pay ZERO attention to emails the company sends out, I have sat here and simply done my job and kiss their tails because I needed the job..So now that I don't here is the question I have..Do I: 1. Start voicing my opinion as to their asinine audits and 99.7% accuracy garbage simply in response to the QC lead that sends them out or maybe cc some of the suits? Anyone have some names for me to send responses to. And then sit back and wait to be fired fo ...

I've been an MT for a little over 6 years now, and I loved it up until a few months ago. I was making good money and enjoyed the account I was on. In June, the company I work for switched my accounts (after being on the one for 4-1/2 years). Now I'm making signifcantly less money and having to put in double the work. I can't even pay the bills anymore. I have decided to go back to college and get my health information technician degree, because it seems like transcription just isn ...

Next day, i get a letter from a collection agency. In the meantime, Verizon had credited my other phone # with the $34 amount, so now I did owe $34 on the old #. I ca ...

I've been at Mmodal for many years, part-time, no real complaints until now. I know a lot of people get transferred to new CCMs quite often and I have as well but this time I went to a very hard account. I'm willing to learn it but then one day after that transfer I was sent back to my original CCM but that account was made my primary instead of my previous ones. I keep getting those emails about increasing line count, decreasing inactive time, going "mouseless" and I ...

I'm seriously ready to quit and get out of the MT business altogether and about 95% sure I have a new job lined up, but will not give notice until I'm 100% sure, BUT....as you all know, our cpl have gone down drastically since VR and most of us have had less and less work coming to us lately, so my question is would you still give a full 2 weeks notice? I always have in previous jobs, but my last paycheck was sooo small, I honestly don't feel I can afford to give 2 weeks and still ...
