Town hall meeting clarification - anony


Posted: Aug 20, 2013

Blah! Blah! Blah!

Please clarify something that stood out for me. 

". . . beginning of 2012 pay rates increased 6.6% and beginning 2013, 3.4%."

For who?  Surely, not for me.  My pay has decreased substantially in the the last 3 years with more time spent editing each day.

HMMMMM.

 

Probably talking about management not MTs...no msg - Kiki

Town Hall - No truth

[ In Reply To ..]
Who cares what they say; it is all lies. Nothing will ever be done for the MT, unless it is taking away from us. Don't even waste a second listening to them.

Did you guys clock in during the meeting? - usually they tell us to but nothing on the email t

did not seem like they were encouraging us to listen to it this time around.

Town Hall Meeting - Not To Participate
Nov 08, 2012

I guarantee you I won't be one of the "chosen few" to participate with questions in this town hall meeting next week, I cause too much trouble by sending e-mails throughout the year to Vern and Amy, never to any avail.  I just hope whoever they DO pick will ask some tough questions.  Of course, I'm sure MModal will pick and choose what they answer so they don't look like the conniving thieves they really are. ...

Dear Mmodal: Your Town Hall Meeting Was
Aug 10, 2012

Insulting to every MT working for your company. But hey, thanks V. D., for paying me $5.53 to listen to you blabbering about how awesome your team is... the part of your team that makes a bunch of money anyway, while basically ignoring those of us who do the work that give you and your team your nice fat paychecks. I mean, a lot of MT's are struggling to feed their families, but I'm sure glad you are getting that new "state of the art" building for the suits to sit in.  And ...


Imedx And Upcoming Town Hall Meeting
May 10, 2015

I am curious what other MTs at Imedx think about the upcoming Town Hall meeting at Imedx.  I feel it is another effort, just like the employee suggestion program, to try to put a pretty face on a very ugly, dirty company.  I think Imedx perhaps made a mistake when they bought out TranTech, a good-sized company with many long-time, good, intelligent MTs who were used to being treated with respect. We simply are not going to sit idly by when treated like crap and not put u ...

Help! Need MME Clarification
May 07, 2012

I try to make corrections according to MME feedback, which sometimes is conflicting and makes me nuts.  I have a question about diagnoses/impressions.  I know dictated abbreviations should be expanded.  Dictated:  CAD with PCI and CABG. Transcribed:  Coronary artery disease with PCI and CABG. Corrected:  Coronary artery disease with percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting. PCI and CABG are not diagnoses, but procedures, so why woul ...


Clarification Of QC%
Dec 23, 2014

Has anyone else had a very high QC% these last two weeks? Mine has been off the chart, as in, higher than it's ever been and not matching what I'm actually sending to QC myself.  It also doesn't match what's in FIESA (which would also include files that go to QC automatically). Anyone else have this issue?  I asked my TSM and she said, "The percentages come straight from FIESA and what's being reviewed."  As in, avoided the question.  With them back ...

Okay, I got a ding today from my extremely sweet and helpful QATL.  It seems I did not send as a cc a requesting physician dictated.  I looked at the report and I did enter the requesting physician in the ADT and the body of the report.  I thought if they did not specifically request a cc be sent, then you did not.   Am I wrong?   Old dog needs help.  Also, I thought if the Req Physician was in the ADT it automatically received a carbon copy..  Hmmm.. ...

Dictate Express -- Some Clarification
