Actual medical question and such

I have seen a LOT of posts on here about QC and most of them are completely inaccurate. Since we have joined with Nuance I think things have gotten very confusing and this is where some of misinformation is coming from. Quality is now split in two, predelivery and post delivery. Those of us in predelivery (QC1) are told NOT to "ding" the MLS for for any kind of punctuation unless for some rare reason it would impact patient care. We are told to use a very light hand and m ...

In your daily job, do you code from scratch or do you more or less verify codes that have already been put there? With the course I'm taking I'm noticing most of the exams are more of a mutliple choice and less of coding it myself. I'm wondering if that's how it works in the real world. ...

What is the actual title of the Book of Style? I see The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, 3rd Edition - Paperback (June 15, 2008) by Lea M. Sims and John H. Dirckx and I also see The AAMT Book of Style: A Searchable Medical Transcription Style Guide (2nd Edition) - CD-ROM (July 21, 2005) by American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT). One is by AAMT and one is not - I am assuming the AAMT is the Book of Style everyone refers to? I am buying this for someone and want to ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...

For the 2nd time I have come across the word "trachealized" used by the same client when describing an anterior cervical incision. Is trachealized an actual word? For instance, the client dictates "He has a well-healed anterior cervical incision, trachealized, midline." ...

My sister is taking an online coding course and complains that there is no real "teaching," that she's basically just doing the work in the work book and entering answers online, then taking an online chapter test. This makes me wonder about the necessity of signing up for an actual course. I would like to learn how to code, but to me, without any actual instruction, what's the purpose of signing up for one of these online courses? ...

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe? I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before. The scribe position starting pay is almost double what I make as an MT per hour so it is very tempting, I just don't know much about it. ...
