Curious about what type of Fiesa scores people are getting - HanginInThere

Posted: Sep 13, 2013

Just curious about what type of Fiesa scores people are getting? Anyone received any type of formal warning for their scores? Just trying to figure out how important Fiesa really is to the whole sceme of things.

My scores - new but old

[ In Reply To ..]
My scores used to be always very close to 100% or right below and THEN they started taking off if you leave over 2 blanks (which I very rarely do but when I don't know I refuse to guess) and my score started dropping to where I was put on non DSP because they said they had been too low and it was 98.5 or so. I was put on this for a very short time and then was taken off but have heard very little since. Their new system makes it almost impossible to get 100% as often. I am now getting dinged if I don't have "a" in the sentence or I don't hear "the" at the beginning of some of the VR ones - it is way over done and kills any chance I ever have of getting a bonus again

Very true. Dinged for the darndest things. - curiousMT

Dinged for things that bear no significance to the integrity of the document or patient info. That's because it's not about the patient info as much as it is about perfecting the machine that is replacing us.

What I see is this.... - Just me

They work hard to make sure no one has a 99% or higher overall quality score. Everything is a critical error to them. For example this week I received a "critical error" alert for transcribing the page was 24 instead of 23 - oh sure that is REALLY going to make a difference. Any other company would call it a typo and minimize the deductions.

totally agree - new but old

I do take the time to always check it so they cannot come back and say that I never checked FIESA; It really doesn't take that long and if I see something that I think is completely over the top I send it in and get it reversed. This valid and invalid blank crap is for the birds. I look at it and let it roll. I know that I am a good transcriptionist and I know that I do the best I can. If this makes them feel better - then go for it. I am also a firm believer in karma

Right there with you, but....sm - LoveMT

My score dropped to 98.6% just before they gave out the quarterly bonus... Imagine that! I was audited to death until my score plummetted enough to keep me from getting incentive bonus for the next quarter and to eliminate me from getting the quarterly bonus at that point.

Now, my score is sitting at 99.6%, probably because very few of my reports are being pulled for post audit and the ones that have been were either 100% or I disputed and got reversed the totally ignorant "corrections" that were made and I was marked off for.

I figure within the next 2 to 3 weeks, my reports will begin to load up in FIESA like hotcakes on a plate and every one of them will have oodles of "errors" so that 99.7% score will drop just low enough to disqualify me yet again for anything "bonus" related.

And to that I say, "Whatever Nuance!! Karma is a beautiful thing and you will get yours one day!"

same hereev - new but old

Everything I typed was being pulled for an audit and this past week I have had only one report pulled and it is almost 100%. Don't tell me it is just coincidence that you go from pulling 10 to 15 reports a day to ONE in a week's time. Whatever. Not worth my breath. Just keep working and doing the best I can. I know I do my best and I just can't stoop to their level

Nuance bonus - PasMT

OMG - I have been saying the same thing - my QC bonus plummets until its too late to qualify for a bonus, and then editing is minimal - I knew it was all a scam to keep from getting paid the bonuses they brag about... I so hate this job.

FIESA - Pollyanna

I think it's pure bull shit! I've typed the same account for 7 years without a complaint and now according to FIESA I can't do anything right !

FIESA - sickmt

[ In Reply To ..]
Same happens here. I will get audited to death until my score is under 99%. Then Nothing! No more audits. Right now I'm sitting at just above 99% and I am audited at least twice a week. I can bet as soon as I drop below 99 I will no longer be audited. Heaven forbid I would get 100% on a report and my percentage go up above 99!

an email, a letter, anything, let them know what MQ is doing with THEIR patient's reports.

But if you don't do it, they'll never know. Do you really think MQ would tell them that's what they're doing? ...

I am a medical transcriptionist with over 15 years of experience, and I was fired today for low audit scores. I don't know why I am happy about this. I guess I am just relieved to get away from a company that picks apart their employees. What are they going to do when there is no one left? Ironically, I have worked in many big hospitals and while our reports were reviewed, this would have never happened working in a hospital. Does anyone know what is happening ...

Just a head's up, new QA scores are being performed (to many of my friends also), with no warning, check your files and you will see a new one just performed. I have not had a score under 99.5% for 2 years, and had several 100%, but lo and behold, my new score (which will mean NO BONUS for the next QUARTER if I understand correctly) is 98.8%. Yea, right. It was done on all my secondary accounts, on the most difficult dictators, and I am looking for a new job. ...

Hello All, I just received the results of my pre-employment testing. I have not had to "score" on a test in quite some time. One company asked me if I had been contacted because I scored 50% on the transcription side. What does that mean? The other company stated that I did not pass their test. It was graded by a regional recruiting manager and they are saying that I made several critical errors? Like what? Does anyone have any insight to the scoring of ...

I was wondering why Nuance requires a 99% score from their transcriptionists, but the companies that do their overflow advertise that they require 98%? How can they justify that? If you work for an overflow company, will they fire you if your score is above 98% but less than 99%? Just wondering what I would be getting into at one of these places. Thanks for anything you can share. ...

like most of us, a buyout. Loved the company I worked for. Then Nuance took over-changes being made-my scores started going down. Worked hard to get them back up-now I am getting marked for major errors that I KNOW I did not make-I feel 100% confident after all these years I would not be making these kinds of mistakes. Yet, in the last couple of months I have had more errors and some major errors that even a rookie MT would not be making, let a lone an experienced one. No, I am not perfect and n ...

Hi! I was hoping for a little input. I have been with Mmodal/Medquist/Spheris since 2005. They have the new quality standards which seem to be out of reach for me. They want us to be at an unreasonable 99.7. Even today, received last week's audit scores and one was 100% the other at 98.75. I am on my 3rd corrective action for this and know I am at close to the end of my rope. I actually would like to go back to school. Has anyone been unintentionall ...

Last week, I had a great QA score. I only had a couple of reports sent to QC - none of which were problematic. However, today, I had a horrible ESL report with multiple blanks. I had to send it to QC. They not only filled in the blanks, but graded me on it -- a whopping 96.2. UGH! Is that going to be counted among my post audit score for my pay rate?? ...

Mar 01, 2015

The only thing that matters is the number of these you turn in in the first place. Take what useful correction from those, if there is any at all, and let the rest of it roll off. Do not stress out over these or attempt to reverse a QC score. As a matter of policy, they will never reverse anything on these, because the percentage score on them is meaningless. Only thing that matters is the number of them you turn in to begin with. Cutting down the number you submit is the only way to escape the ...
