QA/FIESA....MTs need someone to stick up for us

Every time MQ sends out a survey they use it to justify a pay cut or cesspool or other "great" ideas. They twist the results of the survey to fit their agenda and then say- see the MTs agree that ASR is better or they are sick of running out of work. JMHO but I am not filling it out so they can use my answers to make my job worse than it already is. ...

Sorry this is kind of long, but I am looking for advice on whether I should look for a new job or hang on to the one I have. I am a newbie and have only been working for about 6 months. I was hired as a "statutory employee" at 0.0625/line with spaces. Since they pay some of my taxes, I'm not sure what my actual line rate would be. I work M-F. No nights or weekends required. I have no minimum line requirement, rarely run out of work. I c ...

I'm just curious how well other ICs stick to their schedules, do you ask for time off or just let management know you won't be there, do you work extra when management asks??? Sometimes I feel like I behave as if I am an employee, but without any of the benefits. I'd like to know what the norm is out there. Thanks! ...

Used in orthopedics, amber stick?? ...

For those of you who are currently coders, do you intend to stick around for ICD10? Are any of you planning on getting out of the field? Do you know what your employer has in mind as far as training staff for the ICD10? Just curious. I just talked to an HIM director who said she is worried as more than half of her staff has indicated they intend to leave! Should make for a lot of jobs for new coders. ...

Since I can't get the same answer out of my QA, my CCM and others, I guess I'll poll the audience. We DO NOT put the zeros on medications, like 4.0 mg should be typed 4 mg, right? Do we put the zeros on...welll...pretty much anything else, like creatinine 2.0, temperature 98.0? And no, I'm not new. I've been told many different things over the past 10 years that now I'm just messed up, confused and too tired to think straight. ...

I give up. I've submitted so many resumes and applications that my head is spinning. I can't help it that my experience is more than two years ago. The doctor died and the practice split up! I live in a small town where outsourcing is unheard of and the MTs work at a place until they die. I passed my typing test and editing test with All-Type, had my interview, discussed contract terms, and the woman said she would send the contract out. But she ...

Ever heard of a disk on a stick for a stapedotomy? ...

I'm on my 29th report for the day and I have not had one decent dictator yet. It's been solid insanity. The whole day has been filled with: 1. ESLs. They are saying the right words, but they're not pronouncing them anywhere close to correct. 2. What the heck? Everyone is yawning and talking. Please stop talking, go ahead and yawn (if you can't find the pause feature!) and then continue with your hard to unde ...

Has anyone heard of chloraseptic prep stick for knee surgery. ...

I work on v 9, 10 and 11 and I have noticed that when I make corrections on some VR reports the corrections do not seem to stick by the time they get to QC. I have seen mistakes that I distinctly remember correcting while I am editing and then they show up as not corrected on the QC reviews. Thankfully it hasn't happened on post-audit but it is pretty upsetting. I had my TSM check a couple of them and sure enough, the mistakes were there when sent by me, so either I have become a hor ...

I am looking for a PT IC position that I truly can work when I have the opportunity and not set a rigid schedule. I can somewhat adhere to hours, but sometimes cannot. Are there any companies out there that allow this? Thanks! ...

That sounds about as intelligent as they get... ...

How much longer will you be able to last if this "slow down" continues? And will you stay with them if they sell out to another company? ...

Not sure if they are saying VSE, PSE or BSE? It's a protocol if a nurse or healthcare worker accidentially sticks themselves with a needle and I tried googling, but I can't find anything definitive. TIA ...

My employer has started resorting to the carrot-on-a-stick game to try to squeeze more work out of us when TATs get behind. One "carrot" is so-called "premium" pay for working extra hours on the weekend. Two catches: Your week's total still has to add up to 40 hours, and you don't get the "premium" cpl until you've already done your day's minimum lines. Oh wait, there's a third catch: Most of the work is the worst of the worst ESLs, their tr ...

Can you tell me what this stands for? ...

How frigging nitpicky can they be???? Whatever it takes to keep you below 99%. If they can keep you below 98 you will feel your job is in danger and be ever so grateful to continue employment with this fantastic family-friendly company . (Gag, puke). Wrong word, wrong spelling, wrong format -- okay. But REALLY!!! ...

I knew I shouldn't have looked at my FIESA from Saturday but I did. Majority are 100% so for that I am grateful but THEN there are the others where you are marked off for stuff that make no sense and then there are the stupid errors that I did and will own up to and wonder where my brain was when I was typing - I think my brain was so worried about being marked off for every little thing that I honestly can't concentrate sometimes like I need to. ...

I know we complain and complain about this on here and we fight and argue with the TLs about this...I was marked off half a point for EACH blank that I left on a dictation that the tape cut out. The only explanation from QA was that "it was clearly understood". I am just wondering how it was clearly understood. I went back and listened to the tape and sure enough where I had blanks, the tape was cutting out. So why am I being marked off for blanks. Then on a few ot ...

password, but no info as to where to sign in. TIA! ...

Okay, first quarter FIESA reviewed about 80 reports of mine and I actually got my incentive. Now for this quarter, I am wavering on not getting my incentive with a 98.88 and for the past few weeks they have not reviewed a single one of my reports. I smell something fishy. This whole FIESA thing is to a) review enough reports a quarter so you fall below 99 and then b) if you are below 99, stop reviewing reports so you are stuck there with no chance to bring it up! How fric ...

our post-audit reports are randomly pulled. If you score high enough to get the bonus, your reports are gone through by the hatchet queens in India until they can find a report they can "audit" to bring you below 99%. If you are kicked back to 98.99%, they still meet their contract requirements to the client, and Nuance does not have to pay you a bonus. ...

I feel that all this crap is a plan to get rid of more US MTs. They can show clients how our "Quality fails" and how they cannot get good help in the US and even the clients who want US workers will have to allow it to be shipped out. JMO ...

I almost always get my critical errors on one particular doctor who I think I understand and then it turns out I miss something. I think there is a way to do a report on critical errors and see if I can trend the dictator but I can't figure out how. Does anybody know? And before you tell me to ask my TSM I did but as usual never got an answer. ...

Much as I dislike FIESA and all this QA, what I really hate is finding out I've been typing something WRONG for 30 years. The only thing I can say for myself is some QA decades ago filled it in for me and I didn't look it up. Been typing Campo's fascia instead of Camper's fascia. Took a 1-point post-audit hit on it, too. Shakes me up, what else have I been doing wrong for 30 years? And will it knock me out of bonus territory next quarter... ...
