Of course, I don't know anything about any other regions really. I have always been fortunate to have decent accounts, a wonderful boss (although they change every 6 months or so, they have all been good), and plenty of work (the majority of the time at least). Some of the bad things are most of my accounts are in California (yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck)and the general BS from the Q that's everywhere.
forgot to mentions, have not run into any bad QAs or MMEs - nm
Same here, in the west region and love my - Happy at MQ

accouts, CCM, Quality person. OT offered almost every weekend. On the rare occasions my accounts run out, work is automatically routed from other areas within the same region, so never have NJA. Worked other places and none have had as good accounts and management and always out of work with no back up accounts. I came back to the Q when I found the grass is not greener on the other side.
Ms. X about 10 days ago had an episode of shingles affecting division one of the facial nerve on the left side.
How is division one transcribed?
thanks. ...
Here I sit twiddling my thumbs because I can't work my regular schedule. When I signed on today, the audio was so low I could barely hear it. Muddled through the first report, straining. Second report comes up...same thing. Tried everything I could think of to no avail, unplugging speakers, turning off and on, etc, rebooting. Called Tech. They identified no problem. Said to send to QA so perhaps they could??? No reply from CCM (more than likely because she's bombarded with emails from ...
I have checked the archives here about both companies, but does anyone currently work for this division of Accentus? I just applied for a position with them. Good/bad/ugly info all appreciated. Thanks.

I just got a letter from the Department of Labor regarding Landmark. It states they are investigating to see if they are complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Included was a form to fill out. Should I fill this out? Will it come back to bite me later?
Did anyone else get this letter yet, and are you planning to fill out the form? ...
Anyone ever involved with a case against LM from Division of Labor. I am seriously considering to do an investigation on them regarding the fair labor act. ...
Does anyone know if Instatext works with Accentus/Transolutions Acute Care division transcription platform? I start next week and am wondering about this. I think (I hope) it will work because it works with nearly everything except Google Chrome. Thanks! ...

My supervisior from M*Modal Canada is transferring me to a department that is closer to my province. She says there is more work there. I do not have any objection to this, and I am grateful.
...
Twiddling my thumbs. Usually get audited the first of the month, nuttin' yet. Now that 99% is here - has anyone been affected yet 2 days later ? Thanks - ...
I have a question. Do the TCMs still have their book of business or when we run out of work on our "old" section, are we automatically switched to another section? I work night shift and I see lots of unassigned work but never seem to get any of those. Just wondering. TIA ...
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that their line count average is sucking really bad since we got all these new accounts and then the new and improved (yeah right) software update? And now its mandatory overtime (probably because we are struggling with the new accounts). Yeah, I need the overtime just to make what I used to make without overtime. ugggg. ...
Well, I am out of work. A LOT of MT's have been getting on in the evenings and cleaning out my primary and secondary. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE until recently. Hmmm. Makes me now want to start popping on and work in the mornings. After all, I wanted to work days (not evenings) to begin with, but was forced to work evenings or look for another job. I really need to go back to school and do something else!!! Looks like this company started changing a lot ...
Nothing in our BOB, trying to help others, but work is low too. I just found out something too!!! I had a primary account for years and the account felt like family to me. Knew all the doctors. Yes, I was blessed to have this account. Then about a year ago, I was told this account was being done by their own doctors. (Cannot remember the exact name it is called). A lot of Providence Cinics and hospitals use it. When you go in for a clinic visit, a ...
looking forward to that at all. If they could ensure there would be enough work during your ENTIRE shift I would have NO problem with it. But what are we supposed to do when we get NJA. Right now, my CCM just says to keep checking back throughout the day, which I do, and then I can almost always get my hours in that way.
Can anyone already on lockdown, FT, getting NJA shed some light on how they make up the time and if it is even possible? ...
For over 6 weeks now the West Branch of M-Modal has had low work or no work and everyone is scrambling to get in what hours they need, is there anyone out there who has the true skinny on whether these jobs are being sent out to India, or what the HECK is going on? The supervisor keeps telling everyone that it is just low work, I have a hard time buying that after this long. I need to move on...... ...
Last week was horrendous. I pretty much had the week off without pay of course and hoping that I can work my hours this week at least. Never, ever had NJA situation this bad before and wondering if something is up. I have a very uneasy feeling. ...
Anyone else in West region sit and wait for months for promised new accounts that never materialized and then were told they were going to be transferred to have work only to have that not happen either? ...
The patient is in a s/l *total shell* with a headrest secondary to West Nile virus, some neuromotor dysfunction, but no acute changes.
This is mentioned in the HEENT exam on a discharge, not the reason the pt was admitted so have nothing else to go by and no other notes mention anything. He is just mumbling his way through this whole thing (new PA) and I cannot quite get what he is meaning, the "t" sound and "shell" are the only clear sounding parts, and googling with West Nile virus and h ...
CCM notes the Western power outage yesterday (approximately 5 hours) is not covered by paid down time. However, East Coast outage later in the day was a system problem and would be covered by down time. HUH ? So for power outages we either make up time or use PTO. Can this possibly be legal ?????? ...
past 6 years. This week am told mandatory to change a week day to weekend hours and still running out of work with email stating "can make up time on a specific weekend day" (saturday). Now am I one of the lucky ones they keep cutting off (NJA) SO AS to force working on weekend time slots (if you want to make up time which is your pay) which the CCM feels is the weak spots on the weekend. YET, they are hiring constantly and have not hired anyone for weekends. Am I the onl ...
