Well, let me think about this....I just checked Fiesa and I have two 100% reports in there. I'm normally off Thurs/Fri. So if I just don't work anymore chances are good I will stay right at that 100%. If I do (and I KNOW I'll get the worst dictators AND my backup account I rarely work on, happens every time in this situation)....but chances are HIGH that I will get that worked audited and then drop below 100%, prob evening falling off the "grid" and/or having to ...
I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation. What is the deal? The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour. Tonight they are asking again. I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work. Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ??? Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...
The doctor dictates: The patient's back pain responds fairly well to Tylenol; in fact better than ibuprofen. He typically takes 1 Extra Strength three times a day.
Do I capitalize Extra Strength because it is assumed part of Tylenol? Or do I leave it lower case because it is not typed with the brand name Tylenol? ...
I assume that the MT companies set up a contract with the client for them to pay on a per-line basis. Of course, they charge more than they pay us; that's how they make their money & that's fine. But what I'm wondering is... when we get a report that comes in as VR instead of straight typing, where does the extra money go, since we get paid less for VR. I feel like I work just as hard, if not harder on VR than typing a report. So why don't we make ...
was just told that md-it was going to need an extra few days to pay me. This is not the end of the world for me, but it does make me worry a bit about their financial health. Could someone out there tell me if they have had this problem too? ...
I sit with NJA....on my SCHEDULED day to work.
Once again, thanks a lot MQ for your oh so talented way of giving OT and incentives when they aren't necessary and taking away work from people who are actually scheduled to work.
I appreciate it. ...
Just wondering to those of you who received the last quarterly bonus, how long did it take for them to pay you the bonus. I didn't receive it last time but should receive it this time. I know the quarter ends the end of June and last time they sent e-mails stating it would take a little while. Thanks for any info! ...
Every time that I log onto the system, I am reminded how disrespected, how underpaid, how unappreciated that I truly am.
So - MTSO - you can publish your "SOS, EXTRA HELP NEEDED!" messages all you want. If it ever comes down to your being willing to PAY for me to give precedence to YOUR needs, perhaps I'll consider it.
MEANWHILE, GO SUCK AN EGG, YOU BLOODSUCKERS!! ...
January 26 is Republic Day in India. It is one of their most important events/holidays in India.
It is kind of like our 4th of July. It is the anniversary when they became a republic. They will be dancing in the streets, eating tons of Chaat and drinking lassi until the cows come home (literally), I guess. (I have an Indian friend who tells me these things.)
Maybe we will have some extra work. Some of them will be working, but not all I would imagine.
Whoo. ...
For all that do not want to do the extra research to fill in the blanks cuz it takes too much time, too much effort, losing money trying to get it all done to help your qa submission rate I'd like to welcome you to what we as QA/MME have been doing for 3 cpl ....all of that research and more. Now maybe some MTs (not all) will stop throwing QA under the bus and realize what we've had to do all this time for 3 cpl. Thank you and have a nice day. ...
All week NJA. Everyone has hours to make up I am sure. At 9:30 CCM puts out E-Mail for OT and extra hours for weekend. At the time of her mail "work is low" so why are we looking for OT and extra time committments???? ...
can you work as much as you want at Transcend or does over time have to be offered? I saw a post below where it said people may be working to bolster their line count as it is near the end of pay period. TIA ...
backlog, yet OT is not approved & we have to strictly adhere to our schedules... Doesn't make any sense... Beg us to work extra, yet tell us we are not allowed to do that, LOL. ...
When I get partial dictation reports on EditScript where you don't have to do anything in regards to header/demographics, my speed in terms of lines per hour is almost twice as fast. When there are so many new worktypes with new MT Instructions, the speed goes way down. When the header shows no medical record number and I have to enter in demographics what speaker dictates, the speed goes way down. The point is that I think every one of the reports should be like partial dictations in wh ...
Dr. just dictated OBGYN history and then says transfusion s/l extra negative then goes on to dictate medications heading. What could that be and is it part of the OBGYN or is transfusion a new heading? Thanks! ...
To help with your backlog, so stop sending me e-mails about it! The only way I'll help you with your backlog is if you pay me what I'm worth, and change this wage-theft-based pay plan you just dished out. Until then, I'll do the bare minimum for your company and do extra work at my other job, where I'm paid what I'm worth AND praised on a regular basis for my work.
...
I am hoping that some of you can give me your thoughts about this.
I have been an MT for about 14.5 years and lost my job about six months ago to the facillity going front-end ASR (I think). I basically transcribed only one specialty for that time, although in the beginning I did some gastro and chiro for a private practice. I have very little experience in doing the basic 4, I do have a little in DS, H&P and consults. No experience in OPs.
I have been searching for jobs in my speci ...
I have a shot at picking up a (small) local account. The doctor hasn't called me yet to talk about it, and I have no idea whether he's equipped for digital transmission or not (believe me, I will do my best to talk him into it if he's not).
But... just in case he insists upon pickup and delivery service, how much extra should I tell him that's going to cost? Flat rate? Mileage? How much? (The local phone directory is not clear on where his office actually is located at ...
a goldmine, PLUS an opportunity to put those immoral MTSOs in their place. Every job has the time it was submitted and who did it. If those times are strung-out over 10-14 hours when the MTSO bogus records show you worked an 8-hour shift, who do you think will come out ahead in a lawsuit? Also, keep a log on the REAL hours you worked as icing on the cake. An employment attorrney would have a ball with this. ...
Has anyone ever installed a memory stick into their computer? I need to install an extra GB of memory into my computer for a new position and, to say the least, I'm most definitely not tech savvy.
Is it easy to do? Can you just purchase the memory stick at RadioShack or some place like that? Is it possible to damage your computer installing it?
Many thanks to anyone who give me some tips on this...I realize it's probably a very simple procedure but the thought of opening ...
I completed an associate's degree last winter and got my RHIT credentials. I have applied for a couple local coding jobs, which I did not get. They both had a coding test I had to take and pass before they would interview me. I failed both of these tests miserably. It was embarrassing. One lady who was the HIM manager asked me if my program even taught me how to code! Yes, I have my RHIT, but I don't really know how to code! I know the basics, ...
I live in a small town with local elementary school K-4 with about 700 children.
I thought since I live literally 2 minutes from the school and my own 2 children attending the school I could pick up about 4 children (my vehicle would hold that many) and keep them at my house from 3 to 5 or 6ish. Charging $6/hour/child you can do the math. I would feed them a little something and perhaps start on homework. I am well known in the community and have a nice and tidy home so on and so on....As a ...
I have to say this is the first time anyone from MM called me personally (the person above my TL) and wanted me to commit to working extra hours today through Sunday.. I already have to work 8 hours today and 8 hours tomorrow... No way. Has anyone else gotten a phone call? ...
