I am so sick of FIESA I could scream. I find it - wannie

incredibly strange that an offshore QA and an offshore QA supervisor can better understand an American, English-speaking physician better than me or my TL.
Stop wasting your unpaid time and - ignore it. . .
I've submitted a lot for reversal but there's always some reason why it won't/can't be reversed. So forget it.
I know I do good work so if they want to fire me for not checking Fiesa, well then, they've lost a good MLS.

If they want us to check that shit they need to pay us for it. Plain and simple! Yes, that it what it is, a big fat pile of dung. They can shove it right back where it came from. Nice try Nuance but you cant force us to work for free, though you would love that!!! PIGS!!
with lots of blanks because of poor quality. What happens? I get hit with MULTIPLE invalid blanks. That is ridiculous. Would they rather have me guess. I don't care if everybody else in the company can hear it, if I can't then I WILL NOT guess just to keep from having to send it to QA or QC or whoever gets it. There is nothing whatsoever constructive about FIESA. All it does is stress people out. ...
Yes this may be futile, but instead of just griping about it, I am going to start disputing only my post audit (the ones that count) corrections that I feel are wrong. Yes this may take up some time, but so does posting on this board and I am truly fed up with it and if we all start taking a little time to really start questioning the QC being done to us maybe we can make some sort of difference. Even if they don't reverse it and even if they don't answer you back - they ST ...
a report with poor sound quality and one of the worst dictators I have ever come across in my 15 years as an MT. She was ESL (of course though they aren't all bad), and she kept changing her mind, talking to other people around here, dictating at the speed of light....you get it.....So, apparently I misheard her say "hemoglobin 7" instead of 11. As you all know, that is a critical error. And I guess it IS---However, in the case where the dictator speaks ...
I get 1 more job from this resident (yes, I said resident) and have to listen to her talk about axillIARY nodes, the oropharNYX, whether the patient is orientATed, and receiving PheneGRIn. Are there no requirements in medical school any more? And, God forbid, she put together a reasonable sentence that actually has a subject and verb that agree, as well as one that makes some sense instead of being all run together. Thanks for listening to my vent. Just too many rep ...
I know, I know ... all been said before but I need to VENT ! aarrrggggg
Not submitting QA checked box but reports are being QA'd, so took a look --
In past, QA person and I haggled about capitalizing (told it is, i.e., Emergency Room NOT emergency room).
For last month, moved to new account/region/CCM and these QA "experts" are marking me for ERRORS for capitalizing the example above (as previously instructed).
CP states acct is VERBATIM and "do not add headings" -- ...
I am NOT KIDDING and I am not exaggerating I just spent one SOLID HOUR on a 500 second report from one of the worst dictators I've ever heard in my entire 16-year career, hands down. I literally made NOTHING for ONE FULL HOUR. Nothing. Almost 50 blanks and one full hour later, I honestly could not have given a crap by the end. They got what they got.
I am seriously pissed off right now. That dictator needs to be punched in the face. ...
I have been a MT for over 23 years and have always received praise regarding the work that I produce. Grant you, I am not a CMT and I definitely do not have the "know" that a lot of MTs have but still, as I said, I have held MANY jobs in this industry and have never had any complaints.
Within the last two weeks I have tested for two different companies, most recent Probity, on MTtest and have FAILED both!! With Probity I never made it to the transcription portion of the test before ...
Is it just me, or are there some days when you just can't understand a normally easy dictator? I've had this all day long today. People who are usually very easy to transcribe are suddenly talking like they've got a mouthful of marbles or they're skipping back and forth all over the report. YAAAHHHH!!! Boy, do I feel better!! ...
I am so freaking sick of this crap..Suspend the coder program because there is too much work? What did you do to make everyone leave should be your first question.. I can give you the answer 99.7% accuracy and daily constant threats of audits. This gets really really old. ...
If you get sick, as in in the middle of your shift, like asthma flaring, feeling worse than when I started this morning and will be lucky if stay out of hospital, kind of sick, CCM off, who do I contact? regional team lead? ...
This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job. Everything has been changed after 12 years of doing it one way, and if I do it the way the doctors have dictated/still dictate for years I get an email about how I need to follow the new rules. This is one QA person that has decided to change everything. We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...
Here I am, getting shuffled around in the 'cesspool', a dozen unfamilar accounts. You have your decent accounts with just the basics. Then, you have the CPs that are a long as novels and, if you miss something, you will hear about it, the fact it is in the CP and you shouldn't make such a mistake. I already spend so much time reading CPs, that I then get warnings that my production has fallen. So much for a consistent layout of CPs. I have to hunt for desired PE format, etc... ...
How do you keep your mind on it? I just sit here all day thinking how much I hate this. I'm not a newbie. I've really done this a long time. I would rather do ANYTHING than sit here and type or edit these boring reports. ...
We have an account that is 100% QA. So, so, so sick of the nitpicking "a" "the" crap. If you put "the patient" they change it to "patient." If you put "patient" they change it to "the patient." Sick of slowing down to catch every little "a" and losing money by the second. Screw it, I'm just gonna do my best and the MMEs can just have a field day with their petty changes. ...
i know this has been mentioned in here, but what is up with whole sections of a note done by ASR being missing? its bad enough that we get paid nothing to do this ASR crap, but when we have to actually transcribe whole sections we should be getting paid at the straight typing rate. i'm so close to just wiping out these ASR dictations and just typing them but i don't know how to do that...to change it from ASR to regular. i'm sure i'd get yelled at anyway. &n ...
Okay any CTLs observing this board, please, please, please explain to me why an MT/ME cannot ask for sick time? I have a doctor's appointment and the doctor/specialist WILL NOT make it for a day I am off. So, I requested time off w/o pay for the day. I don't have a problem making up the time, but I am already working constantly as it is to make up from a very serious illness I have and am trying to get well from. The email we got was very vague ...
I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick.
This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such. This person is claiming essentially they ...
I know all the techies out there will say I must "get with the times", but I absolutely hate computers! It isn't enough that you have to learn a new platform for each and every company you work for, but they think you should know all the regular "computer stuff" as well. I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not. If they didn' ...
It's time to take action against all of the companies who refuse to pay us what we are worth.
On May 1st and thereafter, if you have any sick time, paid time off, whatever,
-- Take the day off and every day thereafter --
Until these companies pay us what we are worth !!!!
Please reply if you agree with this, and if you are able to do this....
United we stand....remember Bank of America??? Let's unite!!
...
Just found out new policy is THREE sick days per year. It doesn't matter if you have leave or not. WTF? Are they serious? If the three days are used, then they want a form filled out from your doctor stating you have a medical condition. This is the craziest crap I have ever heard. Who takes less than 3 days per YEAR? If you get the flu, you will need 3 days. ...
I tried to rally people about 5 or 6 years ago to stop this stupid outsourcing..I needed several of you from each state to organize groups so we could make our voices heard (not union) just groups that could contact legislators. I got about 10 people that were with me, the rest of you sat back and complained yet did NOTHING.. So this is what you get when you dont get involved, sit back and let others do your dirty work, you get screwed. Your jobs are in India, my job is in India. Im ready to ...
