READ M*MODAL BOARD. - Someone contacted Erin Brocovich.

Posted: Apr 04, 2014

Another is inviting us to email her/him as well with specific information. They advise to first set up an anonymous email account. They are contacting lawyers and Erin B. There are 2 separate threads on the M*Modal tab. They want help from every MT out there.

I'm the one who contacted erin B. I hope you all can help. Nuance is even worse than mmoral from what I am seeing. I haven't heard back from her. Maybe she can't help me or maybe I don't have a case but at least it's a step in the right direction. I also heard a rumor that mmoral may be raising the quality percenage even higher than 99.7!

I don't work for the big 2 at least I don't think I do - but I have a laundry list of my own

Of course, I can only speak of just my experience with my MTSO now. I worked for a way worse one before that too. I just wish all of us (unhappy) MTs from any MTSO could just all band together and form a union or something that says WE are the ones who says if, how, and when it's done and what we will be paid for it.

Imagine...

I think every MT, regardless of company (big or - small) needs to be contacted, -

because even if they don't work for M*Modal or Nuance, they are absolutely, positively directly and indirectly affected by all the dishonest things these 2 big companies do. When the biggies cheat their employees and cut their pay, the small ones start doing it too, in order to compete. The other reason it usually ends up directly affecting MTs who work for the smaller companies is that more and more of those smaller companies are getting bought up by the biggies, and then they become direct employees of the biggies.

Regardless of who an MT works for, for the most part, their stories are all very, very similar. Harder work, longer hours, less pay, less benefits, more VR, less work in general, unpaid overtime, fictitious time sheets, dishonest line-counting software, getting dinged for nonexistent errors, ever-rising "quality standards", and offshoring. I think every MTs voice counts in a big way.

This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs. We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

I am curious about something. I see the ads you all post here and then I see all the posts on the Job Wanted board. Why wouldn't you offer your positions to those MTs who take the time and initiative to post on the Job Wanted board? I just don't understand why you would want the daunting task of filtering through hundreds of replies which you surely get when you advertise when you have a page full of eager MTs? ...

When individuals are interested in becoming an MT, asking about where to get their training, etc., answer their question(s). SEE THE NOTE AT THE TOP OF THIS BOARD. Do not try to discourage them from the profession. They have as much right to pursue it as anyone else. The purpose of the New MTs board is to help and support and assist those who are wanting to go into the MT field, those who are currently studying or just completed studies. These individuals can read and determ ...

An MT posting a complaint on this board is one of the reasons it is here!!! If you don't like them, move on. You do not have to read them, and you certainly do not have to respond. While I do not agree with personal attacks on a board or anywhere else on individuals, complaining about pay, workload, or company practices should not be considered complaining, but very useful information, maybe not to all, but probably to some. You work for a company who does not pay? Name ...

Anyone know how to read the replies that slide off the right edge of the board? I can see that there are more posts below, but I cannot grab it to open it. Am I the only one who has this problem?

Thought maybe someone else has this problem and found a way to get around i ...

on this board pointed out to me that I misspoke. AHIMA does not approve coding courses. What I meant to say was that, to take the CCS you must submit an application, which must be approved by AHIMA before you can sit for the test. If you do not have the required two years of experience, or a professional certification and a year's experience, you can still sit for the exam if your coding program fulfills the requirements of A&P, pathophysiology, pharmacology, medi ...

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

Found this in the Letters to Editor in AdvanceWeb.com. : I feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the topic of credentialed MTs; the reason being I work with a fantastic group of MTs under my management. We work at a community hospital in a centralized setting; all departments dictate their patient records and we transcribe them. They are highly skilled, productive and accurate and simply the best staff to manage. Here are my thoughts. * Are Credentialed MTs better? If t ...

Good Morning MQ-ville. I was reading a posting below, started yesterday "Whadayaknow" and there were a couple of responses to the posting that I think are worth you reading. We should all be much more PROACTIVE in the auditing process and ask questions or if we disagree, tell them we do! We should also not take BS sitting down! I agree that too many of us have just accepted being fed crap because we've begun to feel "beaten down". I also am 'MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO ...

in the MT Stars archives a post entitled "MT's and Unions, and past mistakes:". This was posted on 11/23/10. I am contacting various union representatives, among other things. The most important thing is to get the word out as much as we can about the unfair policies on MT's by various companies. I know it can seem futile, but I think if enough of us communicate long enough, someone has to listen. Thanks. ...
