Doing so is the equivalent of one year of coding experience. Also, are you networking with any groups elsewhere like LinkedIn? I'm currently an AAPC coding student online, and currently still working as an MT. ...

Hi Everyone, Right now the company I work for hardly has any work. I am thinking about sending out a letter to local clinics and also maybe putting out an ad on craigslist for transcription work.

I need to find a new job. The company I'm working for is replacing med transcriptionists with voice recognition and electronic health records. This is not the first time this has happened either, . . it happened at another hospital I worked for. The company's response was "you can go work for the service." Yeah, right, at half the pay. After working at a good in-house hospital job for nine years, I realize how home MTs are so mistreated. And, ...

I am an MT considering going to school for coding. I have been reading the message boards of the coding professional organization and found it to be full of comments from new certified coders who can't find jobs without experience, and some have been looking for over a year. I am leaving the MT field after only 6 years due to salaries going into the tank with SR. I think coding would be a good fit for me, but hate to spend thousands of dollars and a year of school time on ...

Have any of you had a hard time finding work as an MT because of age discrimination? I have run into this for the very first time this year. I have not worked for a few months because they laid off a lot of MTs at the company I worked for; mainly because they promised something they could not give. We would have 4 or 5 accounts and no work on almost all of them. We would be left scrambling for work and got the worst work possible. The supervisor at night watched the ...
