Direct violations of federal law subjecting disabled employees to

Previous employer stated in the contract that spaces, bold, etc were paid for in a 65-character line. Come to find out the version of Word 2003 cannot be used because the space bar does not work because he obvious disabled it so that it did not count spaces. When I worked there we worked in word. Does anyone know how to get this fixed? I get so sick of these companies skiming off of the line counts. ...

Never disclose a disability to an employer no matter what. TTS fires and refuses to hire people with disability and then finds a lame excuse to cover it up. BEWARE! ...

Using SH10, Word 2010 & 2013, Windows 8. Was working last night. Went to bed and today it will not work. License does not expire until November. Have been using SH10 with both Word 2010 and Word 2013 on this computer for almost two years now. No problems until this morning. I have tried reebooting, opening SH10 and clicking "Hide" while Word is open, uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing. I sure don't want to have to do without it. My ...

First of all....isn't any medical report being typed out of our country by a another country that isn't required to follow HIPAA regulations.....well a HIPAA violation? Not to mention a potential homeland security risk! Secondly, is anyone else bothered by being instructed to type the patient's name in the body of a report? According to HIPAA regulations, the patient's name is NOT to be typed in the body of any medical report. We are all violating HIPAA by doing this ...

So, my ex-husband of 15 years called my and my son's doctor's office and gets all of our medical and billing information (son is 21). Takes those documents and files suit in court against me using the documents he obtained fraudulently to claim that I have lied about the cost of our son's medical bills (he has been ordered three times to to pay 50% of those costs which only amount to about $2,800). Y'all get that? He committed fraud in order to prove that I have committ ...

What fines could MTSOs be faced with for HIPAA violations in requiring their employees to use Win XP, which is no longer HIPAA compliant? I wonder if it might be worth an increase in line rate to keep our mouths shut. ;o) ...

I find it interesting that if we violate HIPAA law it's a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole, yet when doctors continually violate HIPAA law on a regular basis these MTSOs are too wimpy to say anything, or even care the the patient's rights are being compromised. ...

I was accessing back reports already typed for med list and noticed that someone had typed the patient's sister's name in the report. Isn't that a HIPAA violation? I never put relative names in reports so just wondered. I thought doing the training I remember that was a no no. ...

If you are classified as an employee, you can file a complaint anonymously if your MTSO is not paying you overtime for work over 40 hours a week. I spoke with several people at the Department of Labor, one of whom headed up an audit of an MTSO, and was told that you can file your complaint anonymously, but resolution of the issue will take longer than if you used your name. Also, if in order to resolve the issue, you are required to be deposed or testify (this is very rare), th ...

I am attempting to take the SoftScript acute-care test and have received 2 separate links to the online test, which seems to have a drop-down feature for their multiple-choice questions. However, the drop-downs don't work (I've tried accessing the test using several web browsers), and when I right click on the test, I get the message "Function Disabled." Has anyone had the same problem, and, if so, what was your solution? Thanks in advance for any ideas. ...

After seeing CBay's lovely employee website extolling the awards they will bestoweth upon any Indian who works for them, I was wondering. Looking at the the enless football field size rooms of computers, (many, many, many computers), desks, chairs, headphones, the brand-new buildings themselves, the exercise room with top notch expensive exericise equipment, the yoga teacher, the buses used to transport them to and from work, the workers hired to drive those buses, the free medi ...

There are 34 coding jobs announcements on www.usajobs.gov today. Some are for more than one position. To see them, search for keyword 0675 and open to federal employees. Looks like 24 of them are open to those who are not yet federal employees. There are also 11 job announcements for medical record administrators, some of which may be in coding. To see them, search for 0669. ...

So I passed the BA Agreement, proof of liability insurance and Policies and Procedures with the company, so I may still be able to work as an IC and not an employee, but here is their response: "You must first provide proof that you meet the Federal Guidelines to remain an IC before providing proof of insurance or policies and procedures. You can research this by doing a Google search but these guidelines MUST be met in order to remain an IC." I already also passed the HIPAA training. What e ...

For anyone who currently works for an MTSO that handles VA or other federal government work, you must have employee status and be paid at least the hourly wage determination rate. The wage determination rate is NOT the same as minimum wage. It is, in most cases, significantly higher, and each county in every state has their own WDR. If you are not being paid properly, you can file an ANONYMOUS complaint with the Department of Labor. If no one complains, these MTSOs will c ...

This is all you get at the Federal level: "No deduction may be made from an employee's wages which would reduce the employee's earnings below the required minimum wage or overtime compensation." You have to look to see what your state says about it to see if docking pay for mistakes comes under wage theft. As we know, they will give you MUP if you fall below minimum wage, so they have covered themselves on that, unless your state says differently. ...

I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor. You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars. Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India. What a difference. They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years. The US transcriptionists are very sad!! What a difference..... ...

Anyone currently work for or recently just left ExecuScribe have information they would be willing to share about how they pay? I am curious about the statement they have on their web site. How do they handle down times (no work, computer/internet not working, etc) to “ensure…federal guidelines with regards to minimum wage and over-time laws”? Since they require testing with the application, if you are willing, could you also answer the following, so I know ...
