What happens to reports with all the blanks in them? Are they filled in by hand? .

Anybody else receiving "counselling" for leaving blanks. Received e-mail stating some of my reports were pulled and they wanted to go over my blanks. If I can't hear them or understand them, I don't guess and leave a blank. Dreading this one. Seems you can't win for losing. How do some of you handle the blank situation? ...

later and count against our QA%? God I hope not. There is this one RIDICULOUSLY horrible dictator--I don't even know how the VR manages to get ANYTHING he says correct, and I can't even tell if it's correct--the VR looks reasonable but I just cannot hear him...Chinese, speaks a mile a minute, misprounces everything, UGH! I pull out my hair every time on him, and there is no way I would EVER get over 99% on this guy. There are always more than the allotted blanks ...

I put so much more time and effort into his work and they always come out looking like Swiss cheese. QA can fill in about 75% of these with their guesswork. No way am I going to continue listening over and over again to his bad dictation when they are pretty much hopeless. I'm going to listen once and that's it -- that way I'll get the most for my money I'll be paying for the QA! ...

My supervisor did a "deep dive analysis" of difficult dictators in response to their complaints about numerous blanks in their reports. HELLO? If you can't speak English, at least slow down so we might be able to understand what the hell you're saying and spell the names of doctors you want to get cc's. They have the freaking NERVE to complain about blanks in their reports. God, I hate this company. ...

I had: _______ ischemic changes. I couldn't make out the word directly before (seriously slurring ESL). The blank was filled in with "anicteric." ???? Is there such a thing as anicteric ischemic changes? I can't find reference this this anywhere. I want to make sure before I try to reverse this. ...

just goes directly into the trash, or if anyone actually reads it? ...

working on an x-ray of the spine and it sounds exacty like he is saying bile filled vertebra. Doesn't make sense to me and I cannot find it. ...

people can be so stupid, or oblivious, to the fact that they have an over-abundance of MTs during the week that run out of work on a constant basis but, on the weekends, work is over-flowing to the tune of "help help help". Can they not figure out that if they would cough up just a few more cents a line for someone to cover weekend shifts, and offer it IN HOUSE first, that this all could be eliminated? Of course, I don't know why it amazes me. These people never were in the tra ...

I was reading the newsletter....employees in Philippines with MM t-shirts and mugs filled with chocolate. What do we get? A big fat nothing, sitting here waiting for work to come in. I can't believe I actually went to school for this (many years ago). Actually, keep your mugs and t-shirts -- I would prefer a raise...and some WORK!! ...

If a doctor says something that a third grader would know is nonsense and the MLS leaves a blank, why does the QC person fill it in? We're supposed to use critical thinking skills, but yet they fill in something stupid when it's blatantly wrong. Then, we get an email with all kinds of information regarding normal laboratory values and we are supposed to use critical thinking skills for all that and determine when it is normal or abnormal. Oh, I'm still waiting for my MD degree t ...

Does anyone know how long it will take them to respond? Just curious, I am very interested in a few positions they listed open and am eager to hear if I qualify! ...

Got an e-mail from TransTech that the positions for the rad MT job posting on the Job Seeker's Board dated 3/6/2012 are filled, however, the posting is still listed here, so not sure what the real deal is. I'm sure someone from their company will see this post then remove the ad. But, I do wonder if they just don't want to hire and pay a good line rate for an experienced MT. If anyone else applied for this posting, did you also receive that e-mail? ...

I bought a computer that I used for work (100% work, nothing else). I know I file 4562, section 179, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out where I am supposed to put the information. It's just the computer and nothing else. I read that I do not have to depreciate this, it falls under eligible property. Just confused where to put the info. I'm filling out the forms by hand. I absolutely hate hate hate Turbo tax and two years ago H&R blo ...

If the doctor is having the patient fill out a specific form and they name that specific form would it have quotes around it? ...

Hi, I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...

Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)? I definitely prefer very long reports! ...

Am i the only one that just hates the long ones? And by long I mean anything over like 4 minutes. I love progress and ER notes! ...

The bladder was attached to an enlarged uterine mass, and the opening of the uterus revealed it to be filled with cloudy s/l softan material. TIA! ...

I have just had it. I was switched over to a horrid account, and every time I ask about being switched back, I am told to just keep on working. The account I was switched to have horrid AMERICAN doctors as well as ESLs. I have sat here for months listening and re-listening to no end. We are always sent emails not to guess, send everyting to QA, well I have just started too. No longer am I sitting here trying to guess, only to have to send the report to QA anyway.&nb ...

I am so brain dead. Are we supposed to be sending reports with blanks again? I thought this was held off until March 14th or is that just with unchecking the QA box if you do not want it to go to qa? thanks. between audits,lengthy emails, deleting this and that,its just a bit too much anymore. sigh. ...

Utterly confused. I took a big, BIG hit with the QA deduction in paycheck this week. So, I decided to investigate. Like everyone else, I have about 10 "regular" accounts. No blank rule is mentioned anywhere on any of the Account Specifics. I wrote the QA person for my CMC questioning how many blanks were acceptable without sending to QA, and got the "first time right" explanation. This is BOGUS...if I have one blank on a lengthy report and hafta send to QA and they take the total line ...

I got a complaint from corporate that my lph are not where they should be via my TSM. I have been at MModal 6 weeks and just got off training. I was hired in at tier 3. My lph are gradually going up every day but not to suit corporate. I do straight transcription, no VR, on Futurenet. A lot of ESL bad dictators. I am still getting new dictators every day I work. It's hard to be up to par when you are still learning dictators. I work on 11 accounts. I think I am spending too muc ...

I'm just sayin....as a radiology MT in this company for 14 years...we have always sent radiology reports straight through to the docs to review and sign (because of turnaround time)....never knew they did QA until I got new accounts 2 years ago....and have had some pretty bad foreigners. I believe it is docs job to go over his reports anyway...he is legally responsible.. ...

It just occurred to me that MQ could have another card up its sleeve in order to knock down our pay, yet another scourge to get us to quit. All it takes is more than 1 report sent per day to put my percentage of reports to over 5% to QA, which would result in 50% salary decrease. I just had a report where ALL of the blanks were from horrible sound quality. Words were missing, the surgeon was speaking from his speaker phone which picked up shuffling papers, you know those s ...

They are more and more following M*Modal. Now if a report is QA'd with a blank, you will be penalized in your score for that blank, and this has been verified by a QA person, who received the new directions recently. As I understand it, you are penalized if QA was able to find the blank either in old reports or by research, or just knowing the term. So you have a choice, spend a lot of time on research and see your LPH plummet to minimum wage, or blank it and then be pen ...

I'm on accts that do not allow any blanks at all through to the cliient. ALL blanks must go to QA. I haven't ever worked on an acct that would not even allow one blank to the client. Anyhow, might not would be so bad but the dictators are TERRIBLE! Many ESLs also. Combine no blanks allowed with terrible dictators = sending more to QA. That means docked pay if 5% or more. Oh, and don't let me forget, no samples yet. So you have to ho ...

I just looked at my review for March and I see all these 0.5 deductions for "blank filled in by reviewer." There are also Valid Blanks that take off no points. Sorry if this has been asked but did they say they were going to do this? And if so, when? Also, I listened to these blanks. There is no way they can tell me 100% what was said in any of them, which is why I blanked them. So they are guessing. Two reports I have gone through so far are for real ...

I have been taught better safe than sorry and I have been a transcriptionist for 15 years. I am docked .05 for each blank, but the standard 3.0 (CPSE) if I got it wrong it happens to be pullled for QA. I know this is a rhetorical question as we are all professionals, but would you leave a blank and take the 0.5 right off the bat or risk the patient on a lab value, drug name, dosage or diagnosis and take the 3.0 IF that report was pulled for QA? ...

What happens to reports with all the blanks in them? Are they filled in by hand? . - mrs.krabs

QA Can't fill in blanks either 90% of the time - amd
