New Accounts Means Lower Pay

Apparently I am still in the half of the North that has no work. After seeing the list of accounts we supposedly have in our new BOB I had a glimmer of hope, until we got the update today that stated that most of these accounts offshore anyway. So more accounts but not really any more work and more MTs fighting over a minimal amount of work. Plus incentive this weekend so now it is a double whammy of no work. Looks like I will be taking the day off ear ...

Hi all, There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

I saw this at the end of the ad on the job board for Escription, and don't understand it: ** IF YOU’VE EVER BEEN RELEASED/LET GO FROM AN ESCRIPTION ACCOUNT FOR QUALITY ISSUES IN THE PAST, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO WORK ON THESE ACCOUNTS, AS I WILL BE UNABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN ESCRIPTION ID. ** Does it mean that if you get taken off an Escription account at another job, you get banned from the system for good? What's up with that? ...

have own wavplayer? Is this like Expresscribe? If so, is this difficult to learn? TIA ...

If someone had the wherewithall to create an oldfashioned transcription service that paid will and supported their employees they could staff a pretty good bunch of experienced and loyal employees just from this site. If I had the means to do this I certainly would. Someone needs to take it back to the basics. ...

how is the platform. I know people have negative comments about them but are there any positive ones. I would only try it PT and IC. Not sure that would work out or not. ...

is that correct? If so, are CB and DF still involved? I love Bayscribe, and I was thinking about biting the bullet and applying to Nuance for some PT work, but I kind of butted heads with the 2 ladies and so I don't want to waste my time. Thanks for your input. ...

my player is experiencing a CODEC problem. Anyone know how to check this or what this? Maybe i have gremlins . . . . . . ummmmmm ...

It is under type of service. Thank you in advance. ...

No doubt you’ve read marketing articles written by Nuance extolling the benefits its voice recognition software for medical professionals. That’s to be expected — they’re trying to sell a product. A very expensive, time-consuming, imperfect product that is not for everyone, no matter how hard they try to convince potential buyers otherwise. But they are very good at making it seem like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Because the buyers believe th ...

Muscle stretch reflexes were symmetric and average with a flexor plantar response on the right, and an equivocally extensor plantar response on the left. I wonder if he means equally as the word equivocally(the meaning) doenst seem to fit ...

ASR and then today announces supervisor is no longer with the company? ...

I have been a self employed transcriptionist for 10 years, with great accounts that I have been lucky to have. Today I have been told that my job may be in jeopardy. Now for months I Have sent off my resume to companies ... and NEVER hear back from them. now i have applied for outside the industry jobs... and of course nothing, and because fo the economy they only want top candidates for anything. The reality is this... If they say we aren't using you anymore, my income is gone in ...

Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find a thread about it. If the health care reform means more Americans will be insured, then more Americans will be using doctor and hospital services, and there will be that much more transcription to do. Do you think this is right? Shouldn't there be a much bigger volume of transcription to be done, starting in a few years? ...

Doing a report right now: "the patient comes in PERIOD with complaints of blah, blah, blah, PERIOD and states that PERIOD she was blah, blah, PERIOD, blah. She was sent to see Dr. WhoCares PERIOD for blah, blah.....No joke. Drives me crazy. ...

You can guarantee the out of work situations are not truly out of work. Go to ES website for your account and select "all available" files. There is usually work there, but it is off-shore. I have experienced this on every single account I have been on over the past 5 years, ever since Nuance bought my company. Things that make you go hmmm... and connect the dots...anyone? ...

This is for behavioral health medicine in a combative patient. Thanks. ...

Red means it's down, green means it up...what does yellow mean? Sigh.....I'm glad I came to this board first before starting my shift. I was prepared for problems....... ...

Hi, I'm a fairly new MT. I come across "patient is nontoxic" often enough and I've come to think it means he is not sick/contagious. Google searching does not yield much. Maybe I'm missing something. Report today had doctor describing patient who has a rash/contact dermatitis. He begins to say he is "nontoxic" but then seems to swallow the end as if changing his mind. My question is--Would a patient with contact dermatitis who is NOT sick in any ...

So, I probably missed this in another post but just got an e-mail from our admin ass't saying I didn't make the minimum lines for the past pay period so will be getting paid minimum wage. Had not realized my state raised their minimum wage for 2015 (my fault for not reading that somewhere) but that just means I now have to up my minimum lines by 20. Cripe, 2000 per day was bad enough. There are only so many hours in the day people. Plus, I got "scolded" for havi ...

Obama Administration to Announce $975 Million in Health Grants Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration today will announce $975 million in government grants to expand the use of technology in the health-care industry and train medical professionals to use new systems. The spending, part of the $862 billion economic stimulus legislation passed a year ago, will expand technology use at more than 100,000 hospitals, according to an administration official speaking on the c ...

Anybody out there in my POD and want to help me interpret our mandatory OT? HDSM is KD and scheduler is CS. They are awesome (I'm lucky to be in this POD and know it). They always try to keep us off mandatory OT (unsuccessfully as of late), but I'm so confused today, reading the latest email. I'm not sure the company knows what working PART-TIME means or what agreed upon schedules mean either. I just read an email from our scheduler that I believe is stating th ...

I think it is very easy to see that with MT pay going lower and lower like 2.5 cpl that there will be very few MTs that stay in this business and who would even want to study to become an MT. This country has lost so many jobs overseas that I have no idea what the future will hold for many people to even try to find work. Unbelievable to think that we can survive in an American economy on wages that are paid overseas which is exactly what is happening. It is impossible to do.&n ...

Well I started with a new company this week and so far I have made $31 for the whole week. I have never done Radiology before and that was what they put me on. I am acute care but the hospital I used to work for had their own Radiology Dept, so th is is a new learning curve, plus new doctors, format, etc. By the time QA gets ahold of reports I feel ike a new student and I have over 35 years exp. I am beyond depressed. At least I can put on my resume Radiology ...

The lower extremities show marked peripheral varicosities. There are also some excoriated lesions of the lower extremities with some mild scarring secondary to __s/l "thorabnitis". Any ideas? This M.D. has a tendency to make up words, so he could be saying something totally different than how it sounds. Thanks ...
