The final straw, the only reason I have stayed so long

to receive the 3-month and 6-month installments of the signon bonus? I could not get enough lines so I never qualified for benefits or the bonus. (It actually is based on hours worked, but if you do less than 135 lines/hour you get fired, so if you work 8 hours and only have 200 lines that shift, you have to lie and say you only worked an hour or whatever.) I'm just curious. I see they are still advertising, although at least they no longer promise they ha ...

Things have continued to decline over the past 3 years I worked for MQ. After the 5% submission rule went into effect, I decided I needed a new career, so at the age of 46, back to school for me. I think this might be an important step for many MQ'ers since obviously the rate of pay will continue to decrease and the work demand increase. The fact they do not appreciate our ability to produce top-rated work and are happy with mediocre says a lot for a company tha ...

Well - I am finally moving! Started applying to non-MT jobs this week. Have known it, have been saying it, but just could not bring myself to do it. We just did open enrollement for 2014. I now am paying $430 a month for my spouse and I to get contracted insurance rates - because that (and the wellness benefits) are ALL that it covers (not even pharmacy) until we pay $7500 together, then it covers a WHOPPING 75% till we pay $12,500 for our max out of pocket.& ...

Has anyone who has left MQ either by quitting or termination had any trouble receiving their final paycheck(s) and PTO balance? ...

Do anybody know how your final check is sent by Keystrokes? I had direct deposit and wondered if it would go that way or be mailed out. ...

I finally cut ties with the Q after being returning to work for them and finding them not to be the company they once were or the pay was not the same. After careful consideration and finding another position, I resigned. Awaiting my pay out from my PTO and being told it would be deposited today, nada. Anyone have any idea about this? Will this be sent as a final check or did I get the royal kick in the you know where and will not see that PTO payout. Thanks Q. ...

This will probably be my final post. As some of you might recall, I graduated with my MD in 2010, and just received notice this week that I will be starting residency in July in Family Medicine. I once again want to reiterate to all of the MTs and QAs out there slaving away for M*Modal that there is no computer in the world that can replace a human brain, that your skills are valuable, and that you are professionals and irreplaceable. My 30 years in medical transcription was in ...

if your final paycheck is direct deposited or if they mail your check? Thanks. ...

This was published in the Federal Register last week, correct? I have a friend who is in a battle with an insurance company over a very sick child. They are always throwing up obstacles for coverage. She told me that out-of-network treatment is covered at 50% of 200% of Medicare rates. So we are trying to uncover exactly what that rate is. Is the CMS Final Rule document what I am looking for to help her? Is Coder here? Expert insight would be so appreciated ...

I have been waiting for final pay from MTSO since May when check was "sent" It has not been received by me, nor has it been returned to MTSO. Operator of MTSO says they have "fulfilled their legal obligation" and the fact that I have not received money is unfortunate. Apparently no new check will be issued or Direct Deposit made until original check is returned as not deliverable. Thoughts and advice please? Yes, I have emailed weekly and have the same response. ...

Just curious if anyone has gotten a final warning or if anyone has been fired from Mmodal? I think I might be next...hoping if I do that I will be able to get unemployment because I am really trying to do my best but have not been able to pass audits for long.... ...

I was curious to hear if anybody failed the second part of the final? I got a 13% on the second part only because I was having serious trouble hearing the doctor clearly. I took that final last June, and I am wanting to take the final again in May. I am worried that I am going to come across the same problem even after practicing for so many months and getting helpful tips from the Career Step final. I am currently working part-time typing overflow reports and I am doing rather well with that. S ...

I just received a score on my Allied Med School Final exam of 84%, which really surprises me as I have been scoring upwards of 95 on the assignments and felt really good about these 5 transcriptions. From your experiences, what are my chances of ever being able to find a job with an 84 on my certificate? Trying to decide whether to try the second attempt or not - worried that my grade on it would be even lower... ...

biggest loser contest? I saw June, but nothing after that. Not that I will win it, but just curious since I felt it was a very unfair contest. ...

I am doing a DS. I can't believe this has never come up before (or I've forgotten!) - When typing LAVH-BSO on the diagnoses, can I use LAVH-BSO or do I need to spell it all out? I would think LAVH-BSO would be more readable, but I know the rule is to spell it out. I'm trying to be practical here, but it may come back to haunt me. Thanks ...

I just wanted to let those of you know who were helpful in my quest for an ophth sample....I am very grateful for the help I got. All I wanted was some information on samples. To the rest of you MTs who responded with criticism, judgment, and assumptions...stick it in your ear! One of you thought I cared what a "blessed" life you had and went on and on about it. ?? What? Didn't really fit my post, but okay...guess you gotta tell someone! Someone else, maybe the same perso ...

I resigned from MModal a week ago, June 23rd and received my final paycheck deposit yesterday. It was over $100 short! I worked the same number of hours I also do and transcribed within the ball park the same number of lines. I also had 12 hours of PTO they owed me for that I had not used. It doesn't appear that I was paid for all of that either. For some reason they sent me 5 check stubs - I usually only got 2 per pay periods. I get direct deposit. &nbs ...

This is hopefully my final post on RADTRANS. Shortly after my last post, I received an e-mail from owner of RADTRANS. Apparently someone e-mailed her regarding what I said (according to her email she has no reason to go to this website, this is what she said: I DON'T GO ON THERE OBVIOUSLY AS I HAVE NO NEED TO..... THAT'S A SITE FOR "MT'S WHO HAVE SOUR GRAPES" LOL A CHAT ROOM I SUPPOSE FOR MT'S WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO TH ...

Has anyone ever been told that the final pay from an MT company will not come all at once, and will be divided up into 2 final payments? I thought this company would send me one final check, but she stated that they are sending it out according to their pay schedule and the final check will not come until the second week in June!! It is not a tremendous sum; the first check I received was last week and it was around $370, and the second one I doubt will even be $200. I ha ...

This is an except of an email that I received from the CEO of the company today. This was after I sent an email last week and things were "misconstrued" on their part. After reading this, I am of the opinion that while yes, they offer straight transcription at a "decent rate" by today's standards, it also explains to me why I was tearing my hair out on the dictators I had. We American MTs were getting the "garbage," with no way of being able to look things up by patient.&n ...

Can anyone tell me in no uncertain terms, with absolute certainty - is crepitance a word? I cannot find it anywhere EXCEPT on sites like this where MTs are saying it is not a word. I always thought it was not a word but, of course, it keeps creeping up in reports. I even find it often in voice rec reports, over and over, which tells me that other MTs are not changing it - and this is what is prompting me to ask. Please help - thanks! ...

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to research each and every question VERY CAREFULLY ...

I have read countless articles today that state that the reason that so much MT work is being outsourced is b/c there are lack of MTs on the US side working in the industry. I love when the uneducated write these articles. They are totally missing the entire reason work is outsourced, MONEY. There would be plenty US based MTs to do the work provided we were paid what we are worth. The reason the work even went over to India and other countries is b/c it is cheaper for the ...

I just passed the final exam for the AAPC CPC-H course! After completing the 24 chapters, one just have to take the test; I waited and stressed out about it, but then finally decided on a day and took the final. I am an MT with decades of experience who got outsourced yet again and had my pay cut in half. I am extremely glad I have a chance at another career, even if I am in my late 50s. What can I lose? ...

Once upon a time, many years ago, I was taught "disk" for eye, "disc" for vertebrae. These days, QA is contraindicating themselves like crazy. If I type disc for vertebrae, they change it to disk. If I type disk for vertebrae, they change it to disc. What gives? Same goes for eye. This is driving me nuts. What do you do here? ...
