With new plan STM stated 35% of our team would C increase with new Comp Plan

I always considered myself an average transcriptionist. On my platform I average about 150 LPH and very rarely do I go over 10% to QC and QA is usually in the 99.5% range. Based on my last weeks information and using their charts, I will be getting about 2+ cpl more than I have in the past year on my straight production. I guess I may be way luckier than the people posting here. Maybe I am a better transcriptionist than I thought I was? I figure if I only have 1 cra ...

Since it is obvious the new comp plan isn't done maybe we could give them help and point in the right direction. I would love to hear what everyone thinks, good or bad. Would you rather get paid hourly or by the line? How about a shift differential for the weekend? What about extra money per report for those accounts with multiple carbon copies and tedious demographic screens? Some companies consider FT and offer benefits at 32 hours, would that be something anyone would be ...

Okay, so our QA score that is used to calculate this mess. Is it taken from the previous 2 weeks score or is it from the current week that we do the lines? I am so confused so any help would be appreciated! I guess what I am asking in a nutshell is, for this week, will my QA% score be from this week or from last week or from the 2 week score? ...

has anyone had no post audit reports for the week under the new comp plan? this is my first week of coming across this problem - there were 2 post audits during the week in FIESA, but they were for reports the previous week and I received no PA scores for the week - I'm assuming this puts me in the 0.08000 category for 0%-99% whereas normally getting 100% and this is making a HUGE diff in hourly rate - there needs to be something in place where we have to receive at least 1 PA sc ...

I had 100% from 1/9 through 1/15, 3 jobs edited. Today a job is reviewed that was transcribed on 1/15 but edited on 1/17 with an age error in it. Where does that fall. It does not show up for last week, but shows up on 1/17 but was typed the week prior? Confused. Thanks for help. ...

I haven't had a single report audited until today...I had 5 reports audited, all 100%. The very next one knocked my score down to 98.9 (the report was only 9 lines). I'm just wondering if they were going to audit until they found something to knock me down, or if that was indeed a random audit? Today is the last day of my work week and I will be unable to check FIESA until Sunday, so I'll be unable to request a reversal and just be screwed I guess. Still not seeing the advan ...

I'm just curious as to how it works, as I may have to sign up for it at the end of the year. How does the HRA account work and how do you get access to the funds when you need them? I think I understand everything beyond that. Just curious how the account is set up and how to get access to it. ...

I will check for work during my schedule. Work it if possible, if not, just use the no wrk excused absence comment. I am not going to work around the clock to try and make it up. Ridiculous. If you want to, that is okay, but seems crazy to ask people to do this. Why don't the supervisors/TSMs have a call about this. We get an email, but never anyone to tell us directly about a change. I just cannot believe that they expect employees to try and make up the time. ...

Cant we all write the guys who are on the e-mail we all got if in fact this turns out to be something bad? Flood their emails and desks? Ya know its too bad we cant get together 500+ MLS and go on strike... I would do it. If a ton of us went on strike and demanded fair wages and changes, with noone typing their reports for 48+ hours I think they'd listen. It kind of sounds like the pay will be the same even if they lower the base..... b/c if they lower the base rate but you get a tad extra ...

Sounds like they are taking out the LPH requirements? Or am I the only 1 thinking this? Sounds like they take out the requirement for LPH. Now your lines may drop due to focusing more on QA/blanks/rereading,etc. Normally that would lower your lines and lower your pay. Now it will lower your lines BUT you will send less to Q and have less mistakes so your pay will ultimately stay the same. This is how I am taking all of this. The only thing I am not getting is if we are going to have a base ...

Been thinking about this, and it's obvious we are all pretty much sunk. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to post any info on getting financial assistance to learn another trade/skill. Am thinking pharmacy tech or medical assistant. Seems to me there is a government program that may help out with tuition/expenses, but cannot remember what it's called. Thanks in advance. ...

My son, who has a Master's Degree in Math, took a look at the 7-page explanation of the new compensation plan. He said it was very confusing. What the ? Not even a math expert can understand it? Really? I'm at a loss ;( ...

The abuse and the stress have gone beyond the pale. The people who put together this pay plan have no idea what it is like to work in the trenches. We have taken pride in our work and have loved the field of medical transcription, but they have made us hate it. They have caused us to make more mistakes. We are not focused on what we are doing at any given moment; we are focused on our overall scores and thinking about how we're going to make enough money to buy winter boots for our children ...

Did anybody get the email about the changes they are making. We have longer time to request a reversal (big deal - they never approve them so really????) and now they can QA us for our 2 weeks rather than our 1 weeks which in my opininon just gives them more time to pick apart which ones they want to check and find their errors to total up!!! That is great idea. ...

I thought they were going to roll out a new PTO plan first of the year? ...

Was told in a conference call a while back that they would revamping the PTO plan and would release or announce it on June 1. Had not heard anything from my supervisor. I know she said they would implement a buy back plan and that was all she knew. Has any one else heard what further fun and games Nuisance has in store regarding our PTO? And since I am asking, do you think they will mess with our 401(k) -- like no longer doing partially matching contributions? Counting t ...

I have a dictator will dictate the Assessment/Plan with a number for the problem and a letter for the plan (1. Gout. A. Labs in the morning. B. Medication, 2. Etc. A. B., 3. A.) I have always just ignored the letters she gives me and not put them, but I was wondering today if I am suppose to. It is not a verbatim account and I never got in trouble for not putting them. I tried looking this up in AAMT BOS but maybe I am not looking right ...

I hope someone can help me. I know I need to back up my files (especially my work files, SH, etc.) I see ads on TV about back up options, I have heard of other ways to do this as well, like an external drive. My dilemma is that I don't know which is the best way to do this. I have a Dell computer and every so often a box comes up and says backup not done. I never click on it. Does this mean I should have make a disk with everyone on it that I wa ...

Does anyone know if the PTO we see as of today in teamwork is the correct remaining PTO for the rest of the year? I was not sure if the pto we used previously in the period ending 12/26 is reflected in the current PTO in teamwork yet. This is confusing me since we will get a 12/31 paycheck. I know pto will not accumulate until next year but it looks like to me I did not lose any PTO even since taking a few hours ending the 26th. any clues out there? ...

anyone hear of "SMACK" on the assessment and plan of a PE? ...

He is saying "She was released from the hospital and she was given a TARE (tear, tare sounds like tare, rhymes with care) plan which suggests that she stays hydrated and also get treatment for her headaches." I'm stumped! ...

I was told there was an incentive plan with M*Modal/MQ. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks ...new to M*Modal ...

just continue to take what I can get until there is nothing left. If it means working here and there I guess that is what I will do. As far as coding, MModal is advertising everywhere for coding people and I can assure you they are training coders and that work will be heading overseas as well so why bother. They will keep the rates low and there wont be any money in that either. I guess the only way to even try to survive in transcription is take what you can get unless ...

Does anyone know what this is or where it can be found? Thanks. ...

Everyone who is an MT now should make a 5-year plan to be out of this field for good within 5 years. That will show them we're not gonig to take this anymore. Shove it in their faces. I got into this field only last year, graduated from MTEC. It's fine for now, but not for long. I now plan to leave it for good in 5 years. ...

I got a job with a small local MTSO. The pay is only fair, and there's no PTO, but there's also no VR and my insurance is free (not for my family though). The owner and I both know that the days of MT are dwindling but we are going to ride it out till the end. The beautiful part is her office also does coding and billing. Not the really indepth inpatient coding, of course, but office stuff. She knows I want to learn how to do that so when the MT work is go ...

To get as many new transcription clients as possible, then sell them all on their Fluency One product, thereby doing away with the old fashioned back end transcription altogether. I mean, it really says something when your employer has developed a software program that can eliminate your job. ...

Can someone please explain to me this new email we all got this afternoon about the new pay compensation plan rolling out in December? Can anyone explain it a bit more in detail. Sounds like our pay will not be the same amount anymore as in no more cpl that we were used to? Sounded like to me it will be based on quality and working weekends/nights, etc. Is this something good? Email wasn't in detail too much and a little hard to read. I dont have time to go through it right now. Thanks! ...

If my punctuation and capitalization was as bad as the notice in that email, I'd be fired. I guess they don't see the hypocrisy in that. ...

With new plan STM stated 35% of our team would C increase with new Comp Plan - WOW

Anything pended to QC is counted as a pend - Whether for blanks or anything

If this is true, it's going to be a problem, - especially for their

The only people that care about patient safety - anymore are the patients. No one else.

Some of that 65% may stay the same but --sm - anon
