now there's a whole new pay code - tells you something

Posted: Mar 14, 2013

we now have the option of "Excused Absence - No Work".

what does it tell you? - unsure

I think they will find a reason to fire those of us who are unable to make the time to make up the work, but that is just what I think. Not sure if there is any good reason to believe this.

I just wonder if we do all the work on our timecards now, what does the TSM do? I thought it was their job to enter the time of work availability and approve the absence or mark it unexcused. Just another thing we have to do unpaid.

it tells me they are fully aware of the situation - sm

but whether they choose to do anything about it is another matter.

its always been there, just used to be the - TSMs job

there's never been excused absence - no work before.

that I'm aware of. that's a new code.

I went back on my timecard to December - when there was no work, and its there

Says right on the timesheet, excused absence, no work.

well I dunno - was told it starts 3/17

[ In Reply To ..]
that it is new and starts 3/17 and we are supposed to use it. I have Excused Absence No Pay, but I have never seen Excused Absence No Work.

new for us, not them - sm

This entry has been available for a very a long time, just not for us. We did not have this to choose from on our timesheets. However, in the TSM version, they have had this available for awhile.

its always been the TSMs job to do. - now we have to do it.

Does anyone know what this code is? It keeps popping up on my blank document prior to CTRL-S to bring in a standard. <non-s> and another one with the letters "red-s". I can't type it in here, because when I do, it leaves a blank instead of those letters in brackets "red-s" Thanks! ...

The truth is that transcription has changed and it will never go back to the good old days. Mmodal sees this too. They are shifting as is the norm these days. Nothing is static. They are transitioning and they are inviting you to go with them. I am glad to see a training program for coders. There are not enough coders out here. Please be prepared to work your butt off. Take it, work it, and learn it. Coding is a unique, important, challenging ...

Hi coders, I'm an MT with many years of experience and am trying to break into coding and billing. I am starting with an on line course to get the basics and overview of the process. When I am done with that I will take a class at my community college to refresh and hopefully network. Does this sound like a good plan to anyone? Anything to recommend to be supplementing so I will do well on whatever certification tests are necessary when the time comes? Thanks! ...

Can anyone tell me when we receive NJA do we sign out immediately and then sign back in with the WRKA procedure highlighted in teamwork and without closing out docqscribe and waiting for the 15 minutes and say we do get work within 15 minute period do we just continue to be signed in until we are ready to sign off? I'm confused with this. I know they want us to do the coding now in the teamwork for this 15 minute pay. TIA ...

What a joke. They come down on us so hard about this, but there is information on ADT we have no reason to see such as SS numbers. I have a couple of dictators who actually dictate the patient's SS number and say to put it on the report. Not to mention the wrong patient information and cc names given by the dictators. I now will always leave a QA note every time a cc name is given without the first and last name or any ADT names given without first and last name. With thousands of MTs wor ...

Anyone suspicious of this push to get us to sign the Code of Conduct? I know we've signed it before, but something tells me there's a clause in there that is going to enable them to get rid of many of us by the end of the year. Just curious if anyone else thought so, too? ...

Hello all, I thought I would pop on here and let you know what I am enjoying about learning to code. First off, I am a medical transcriptionist attemtping to transition into a new area. I started taking the Andrews School program and am enjoying it. It's difficult, but I am confident I am learning something. I admit I do struggle with working as an MT because my mind wanders terribly, so badly I often have to go back and re-read the entire report to make certai ...
