So why wouldn't you just send the blank through? I don't blank many reports but those I do the majority come back to me still with blanks
well but the thinking has changed - on blanks

now they would rather you leave a blank than guess, and if the MME couldn't get either, I would not worry about that one bit.
Hi,
I have been speaking with a company who will be hiring me for transcription. They pay good rates and I asked them about the possiblity of job progression and eventually working as QA. They said that QA pays by the blank... how is that even possible? Ive seen being paid by the report, by the hour, or by production (by the line)... but I have no idea how the QA staff make good money only getting paid for the blank. any ideas? Amy I missing something? ...

So sick of the emails. I really do not care what number our "team" is in, I know no one on the team anyway. If they want to reduce blanks there are better ways - talk to the dictators like they promised years ago, improve the audio, improve ASR, yada yada yada. But no. Blame the MT instead. Silly contest. All it did was encourage folks to guess in order to win a pittance gift card.
Hopefully they will keep the 99.5 expectation, the only good thing that came of this supposed fiasco. ...
I can pick out at least 3 in that list that I know for sure just guessed. I've QA'd their work and it's horrible. Way to promote accuracy MM! You know what would get those blanks down? Educating dicators, fixing sound quality, keeping MTs in their primaries. Nevermind, that won't work; it's the MTs that need to improve, obviously. MM is run by complete boneheads. ...
I was consistently going over the metrics for blanks being submitted to the client and decided to keep track of why I was sending those blanks. It turns out that 77% of my blanks are due to either discrepancy or audio issues; blanks that I am positive nobody could fill in. 77%! These metrics either need to be done away with or adjusted for doctors that don't take the time to not be idiots. The most common discrepancy is incorrect age or something else that I can fill ...
that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...
One of the team leads sent an email out emphasiziing the importance of exhausting all resources before leaving a blank. I feel like I do. Just curious, how long do you think is an appropriate amount of time to spend researching a blank? I say 3-5 minutes max. After all, we are paid on production. ...
This just tops of my bad day. I get on to check previous reports from yesterday and see 1 correction on 1 report out of all of them. QA filled in my blank, and the error category is "major" with subcategory "not applicable." Platform is Cornerstone. Since when is it a major error to leave a blank for something we aren't sure about? After listening, again, I still can't tell if it is the word QA put in or the word I thought it "might" be; hence, the blank.& ...

From now on, I am blanking HEENT/HENT any time I am not 100%, absolutely, positively sure of what the doctor says. Especially if they don't say anything at all (which is the usual).
This is utter ridiculousness and I am not going to risk a QA (or QC or whatever it is!)'s subjective opinion about whether a dictator said (or meant) one E or two!

I am tired of the MT field because I can no longer make any money. I have over ten years of experience being an MT and graduated from Andrew's, but I do not want to go back to school at Andrew's for coding/medical billing. I have done medical billing in the distant past and I want to get back into it and start a new career outside of MT. I want to get my skills current and use my past experience also. I have not done medical billing in over 15 years. So, m ...
