Anyone out there know of any reputable schools to learning transcription/editing? ...

I have applied to medtrans and MedGarde...both who have shown some interest. I am fairly new transcriptionist, looking for work as an IC....anyone know anything about either of these companies? I have ready so many posts about people being treated badly by different companies and I don't want to be one of them who learns to hate a field I really enjoy working in. Thanks! ...

The only one I have found is Medgarde, and I don't hear much I like about them. Thanks for any responses. ...

Hello, Can someone reccomend a good MT course. It is for my mother. Her position as Medical Records Reviewer was phased out and she has had no luck finding a position since relocating to be with our family in Alabama. She also has a background in nursing. Unfortunately, she is every salesmans' dream. She is currently considering CareerStep. Huge red flags there! Also, schools that work with fasfa aould be even better. Thanks in advance, Christina ...

We just lost one of the most respected hospitals in the country to EPIC. I have a phobia about working on disreputable accounts -- the kind that hire non-English-speaking physicians who prey on old, senile, demented individuals and do consult after consult after consult. The physicians speak little to no English and in my opinion it is all an insurance scam that the disreputable hospitals happily participate in. Now I have no choice but to be a hippocrit and work on these types ...

What is the best Online MT school? I am currently doing alot of research on schools for MT and am finding that there are TONS of options and I am getting confused as to what is an isn't important. I've been told to check accreditation on both the ahdionline.org website and the chea.org. However, not all schools are listed on both sites... This may be a silly question, but does anyone have a certain school that they recommend? Currently I have a Bachelors of Scie ...

Can anyone tell me which MT schools are reputable and not a rip-off? I'm asking for a friend who is interested in getting into the field. I started so many years ago that I've never had to get certified, so would appreciate any info. Thanks! ...

Looking at starting with a company which uses only the older versions of Word, and I'm not sure which sites/companies are safe to buy from. Thanks for any help! ...

Does anyone out there know of a reputable MT company serving Puerto Rico? I don't know why it is being treated as a foreign country when it is a commonwealth with the United States and I need to move out there to take care of my ailing mother. ...

I spoke with a counselor/advisor who was extremely helpful. They gave me a couple of tests, personality and skill tests to see what I want do in life. I scored pretty high on counseling and criminal justice and even showed medical transcription. Here is what it says about being a medical transcriptionist in Oregon. Wages Location Pay Period Entry Median Top Oregon Hourly $12.73 (1) $17.00 Monthly $2,206 (1) $2,946 Yearly $ ...

I just wanted to post that I completed my first week of college. The first day was scary, but by the second day I felt much more at ease. My first class happened to algebra, so wish me luck. I know that I am making the right decision, so I am hoping that I can start counting the days to when I can just give my notice. It is going to be tough, but it definitely is going to be worth it. ...

After going back and forth for two years, I finally decided to apply for college and I was accepted, yay me!! Actually, I already have my Associate's degree, so this isn't my first time in college, but I feel like I've taken a huge step in my life and I was so excited I just wanted to share with my fellow MTs! Just an FYI, after researching an endless amount of colleges, I chose WGU majoring in Health Informatics and am even considering my MBA there as well because the ...

I see many job ads for coders that specify a college degree is required. I am in coding school currently but only have a GED. What do you think chances are I can get a job with no college degree? I currently work as a remote MT and have almost 20 years of continuous experience in that field and was hoping that would help me get a job. I am not at all, however, interested in getting a college degree. ...

But I noticed when my son graduated from college, it was a mid range college in no way an ivy league school, that he spoke very intelligent, used correct grammar, and actually formed correct sentences. I made mention to him, that in listening to his friends talk, I was VERY impressed and happy they actually learned something in school..He said, "I don't see why, that's what they teach us in college, this isn't high school anymore mom." I'm just not hearing it out of these d ...

I waited as long as I could, but my income has dropped by 30% at least, and I can't pay my bills...........so fortunately I just got awarded a Pell Grant (thanks to my low MT income), so Im going back to school! ...

Does anyone have any experience with this college? They just opened a new site in my town that will be doing healthcare only at first and have been thinking of doing this. ...

Is it better to go with the tried-and-true Andrews or M-tec as opposed to a local community college that offers MT courses? I was thinking it would be better to stick with the former, but was intrigued by the fact that the local junior college seems to be promising "internships". I'm not 100 percent sure yet, as the informational meeting isn't until the beginning of March, but wondered what the prevailing wisdom might be on the subject. Thanks in advance for any info. ...

Mting is no longer for me. I'm 34, single mom, need a better career. I can't seem to decide on which career path to take. I want to get my bachelor's degree because it will make me feel like I have accomplished something, and I would like to have a degree and possibly get my master's someday. I can't decide between healthcare information management and getting my RHIA, or something totally different and getting a BS in business-human resources man ...

After being an MT for 12 years and wanting to go back to college for the past 2 years, I have finally done it! I will no longer be an MT as of July 1st, and I couldn't be happier! I applied and was accepted to WGU and will be getting my BS in Health Informatics. This is a very unique program and my goal is to finish in a year and a half (I had credits transfer in which helps). Anyone who is interested in going back to college and wants to work in health care with IT, check ...

I can't stand doing MT anymore. I applied and have received Pell grants, yay! Now, I need to decide on my major. I want to be in a career where I can help people. I'm thinking social work or psychology. But I keep seeing jobs where they say "BA in Human Services needed." Wouldn't this just be social work? ...

I would like opinions on taking a coding program at a community college, then being properly prepared to become a successful coder and getting certified. Cost is important to me, which makes this an attractive option. What is the consensus about this? Thanks for your comments. ...

Does anyone know anything about this school's Medical Transcription program? ...

I think its like 15 dollars a credit but some of the AHIMA classes you can obtain credit for through your college and they will accept them. I think its about 40 credits too. ...

Based on what I've been reading on these blogs, I realized how little prepared the grads of the MT program from my college actually were. So I wrote a letter to the assistant director of the program, making suggestions on how they could improve the training they offer; things like exposing students to REAL dictation, rather than just CDs of actors reading scripts; exposure to ESL dictation; including a course in speech recognition editing; including a course in medically-oriented ...

I've been going back and forth regarding which school to go to. I'd prefer to do online training but would still like to have an instructor that I could ask questions of, speak to on the phone, etc. I live in California in the central valley, anyone who has attended Heald college for coding I would love to hear from them. ...

Ive heard many opinions on coding training at Andrews, Career step and community colleges. I have just come across EverettCC and their coding course is completely online (scheduled,not self-paced)and taught by teachers who are certified medical coders. Im just curious if anyone here has attended or heard about this school. ...

After much research i had decided on taking coding classes through Andrew College. Unfortunately since they are not an acredited college Vocational Rehab will not help pay. Can anyone recommend a good acredited college or one that accepts FASA grants? Looking to take online courses or classes in Ft. Wayne, IN. ...

While purusing the classes offered, looking for possibly a career change, lo and behold, no MT classes being offered any longer. Coding, yes. CNA, yes. In home caregiver, yes. Nail tech, yes. ..... MT, no. Thinking of real estate now as there is an upswing in that direction. ...
