When I was on Fluency before, MMEs did not get paid for - any additions they made to SM
Posted: Apr 13, 2014
a report. They were paid based on the job the MT sent to be qa'd. Is it still like that? TIA
Unfortunately, it hasn't changed.. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]Fluency counts the characters when it arrives in QA. QA markers have no value. The MME/SHDA has to fill in all of the blanks and does not get paid for any of them.
If you need to make changes outside blanks SM - MT
[ In Reply To ..]If you get a report in QA and make a lot of changes outside the blanks due to errors and have to perform 100% on that report you are to email your HDSM with that job number and they are to submit it to payroll so you get paid correctly.
I had heard that. My last TCM didnt bother to pass that info - to us. Thanks nm

Yes, in that instance we do - JustMe
[ In Reply To ..]although I was told that we only have to do a full QA if we find a critical error that was not linked to a QA marker. Also, if an HDS uploads a report and does not complete it for some reason the SHDA can notify supervisor for reimbursement for that report.
Reimbursed at what rate? If MT claims more than 1/2 job - is inaudible and MME ends SM
[ In Reply To ..]transcribing most of the report, does MME get reimbursed at ASR rate, full qa rate or straight transcription rate?
Your supervisor should let you know - Justme
[ In Reply To ..]which rate you will get after reviewing the rpt.
By default, the MME rate... - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Do you know what you are talking about? Default, MME has 4 rates. - Quick qa, 100% qa, asr and ST. nm

That's obviously not an MME... - JustMe
[ In Reply To ..]which is why I referred the OP to her supervisor. They can see every keystroke done in the report and who did it and determine which rate is used for the report for reimbursement.
My supe doesnt know how I am paid. Not sure she will - know reimbursment rate either. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Default MME/QAing a report is 3 cpl. Full listen is the exception, not the default; it's 4 cpl. - ASR and ST are doing MT work when no MME/QA work a
[ In Reply To ..]MME actually has 2 rates; the other 2 rates are regular MT rates when there's no MME work available.
When you get a report to QA, blanks only, it doesn't matter how bad the transcriptionist has left it, even if it's nearly all blank -- MMEs still get paid the regular default 3 cpl for it. If it's a full review, then of course it would be 4 cpl. I'm not really sure why you felt the need to be snarky over that.
Soooo, just why are we filling in the blanks??? - nm

MMEs
Nov 22, 2009
So a girl I worked with at a local hospital here now works for MQ, and I found out she is an MME, so I ask her, what exactly is an MME, she says she gets what we send to QA, corrects it, and types. So....basically they are just QA people? But, don't QA people type too? I just don't understand this MME position. Any MMEs here that can tell me what an MME is (and I know it stands for Master Medical Editor, for the smarties)? ...

To Those MT/MEs Who Became MMEs
Jan 13, 2011
Just got a request to test for the MME position. I'm tier 3, 99% accuracy, and I've been here for 7 years, but I didn't take the test when they first offered it because I knew that my pay would take a nosedive. I have a feeling they will be getting rid of all the regular MT/MEs shortly and keep only MMEs on board, but if the pay is actually worse, then it may be better to be given the boot. I was told by CCM that it is mostly transcription work and not so mu ...

I've been getting a lot of reports from the ILP with "full review" or something similar in the QA note, but the report itself is not flagged for 100% proof. After a couple weeks of doing full review at less pay, I've decided to just delete their request and fill in the blanks. I figure if they want their reports fully reviewed, they can request their manager to put them back on 100% because I'm a bit fed up with wasting my time and money on making these ILPs look prett ...

No offense, but can I ask you all something?

MMEs Scare Me Sometimes
Feb 03, 2010
What's with checking the whole report when there's 1 flag in it? Sometimes I'll leave 1 or 2 flags in a long report, and when I check my feedback I'll have 3 or 4 minor feedback, really little things that definitely do not impact the meaning of the report. Scares me, feels like I'm being picked on. Sometimes it's hard not to turn into a raging paranoiac around here. I HATE leaving flags. ...

MMEs On Indian MTs
May 04, 2010
Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it? I'm finding words or phrases left out that are completely clear, but a lot of the time is American slang. Other times, it seems that they make up phrases to fit dictation they don't understand. Anyone else? ...

Question To Other MMEs
Jun 03, 2012
If you see significant errors in a report of an MT/ME, do you let the QC know? They were taken off 100% QA so that means the MT must have passed her audits, right? I just feel like I'm tattling or picking on the MT and I just want to know what other MMEs typically do. Whether to repot to QC or just leave feedback (which is probably not checked anyway) and move on. ...

Dear MMEs
Aug 12, 2013
This is to those nitpicky comma MMEs, so if you aren't one of the offenders, you can ignore this. Seriously, leaving a feedback marker for every single comma that should or should not be there in your opinion is wasting everybody's time and is making MT/MEs fear sending any sort of blanks and may make some of them guess for those accounts where blanks are sent automatically, compromising patient care, just so it doesn't get sent to you. You really should take your QA t ...

First Time Right - MMEs Will Be Docked If Over 10%, Then 5% Later?

Really, there are a lot of times where something is just not interpretable, no sound, etc. That will be kind of nice that we don't have to send reports to QA for those types of things. That would be most of why I usually have to leave a QA marker. So really, when I think about it, it may not be as bad as everyone is thinking.
