why does it take an act of Congress to change accounts? sm

Has anyone ever turned down the option of working on a different set of accounts because of lack of work on the ones that they are already on? I have enough work on the old accounts to keep me happy, where it might not work for another person. ...

For the past 2-3 weeks I have noticed my account no longer has the dictators who use routines/standards, except 1 who is difficult to understand. All the dictators who were understandable are just about gone. I would say at least 95% of my account is now just bad dictators. I was hoping it was just a holiday thing, but I hear in the dictations I am doing say so and so, who is a good dictator, saw the patient or consulted etc. so I know the good ones are still aro ...

I put in a request well over a month ago for half a day off and still have not seen a yay or nay. It is getting close to the time I requested for and I have to say I am finding this quite ridiculous, especially when we are limited on how much we can carry over at the end of the year. How can anyone make plans when it takes so long to approve or disapprove. ...

Regarding pay, work conditions, etc., the only clear out of bounds complaints we have are 1) Unpaid work. The concept that we can do this 'on the clock' is a double whammy. You end up getting paid LESS than if you did it on your own time. I've clocked alll this unpaid work very conservatively. It is 48-52 hours annually. Fair wage and labor standards in your state deals with that or you can form a strong coalition of MTs and find an employment attorney. The one I consulte ...

I cant get signed on yet again..normally takes a while for it to load normally..Then I go to the windows mail (which wont let me send a message) and that gives some kind of message about mail not loading..you would think a HUGE company had a better email system..really not a very hard thing to set up... ...

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. ...

Hello, I have been a transcriptionist for a couple of years now. I wound like to try and get my own accounts. I live in a heavily populated area where there are tons of doctors offices. I am unsure how I should go about this. Do I start calling these offices? Do I make up a flyer? Do I stop in and drop off my resume. Any ideas or thoughts you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated! If you would like you can also email me.&nbs ...

I love typing up extremely large reports on a patient with a name that can be either sex (with no info in ADT about the sex either) and then at the very end of a report, the dictator saying: Ya know, this is a male/female rather than a female/male, please change things around in the report. Love it! ...

mom to mother on a VERBATIM account at every instance of dictator clearly saying mom? Is there something I am missing? I wish they would leave some kind of note stating why this was changed. Client profile clearly states "this is a verbatim accouint" and "type as dictated." QTL does not answer email. I usually ignore these things, but sometimes it is hard not to get frustrated when you leave 1 blank and get back several corrections for this kind of stuff. Thanx for th ...

I am sick to death of being bounced all over the place! I would love to force the QA lead and CCM to swich every 10 minutes as well... Now in the south, switch, now in the north, switch, now in the west... Yeah, just try and keep track of all of these accounts. THIS IS FLIPPIN CRAZY having to check the client profile with every darn job! I feel like creating my own darn client profile today and not one of these accounts are gonna like it. ...

There is a book called "Who moved my cheese?" that I would highly recommend for those who are struggling so much with the upgrade. From this board, it seems that there is no possibility that a major upgrade in a complicated software in and of itself might need some bugs ironed out (anyone heard of Windows?) as opposed to an evil company finding a way for people on the other side of the world to spy on you while you work or a bunch of overpaid executives sitting around a table discussing ho ...

Recently I was told the account I've been on for the past decade is going to voice recognition. Having worked on a VR platform briefly, I know I don't want to get screwed making half the money with longer hours. I really hated it and did almost as much typing then as now - only at half the rate. That being said, has anyone gone out and found a couple of docs locally to transcribe on their own? I guess I'd have to buy a call-in system? Just seems like it w ...

My docs are usually ortho - but he threw this in today just to keep me on my toes I guess. Is this correct? EKG change. New Q's in II, II, and F and a new incomplete left bundle-branch block with poor anterior R-wave progression. ...

I came across this today, CBay Holdings name change. http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2011/02/03/medquist-holdings-moves-to-buy-rest-of.html ...

where do we actually go to sign up for PSA, password change thingie. I can't figure it out at all. i am so sick of having to take my time to change all this crap when they should have to pay us to read all this junk and figure it out. just another thing we don't get paid to do. i don't even understand why we have to do this either!!!!! what is it accomplishing? ...

A couple of years ago I obtained an LLC, took a webinar on how to run a transcription business as far as getting ideas on file transfer services, fees, etc. However, because I had to work full-time I never found time to pursue beyond that, or I guess I just chickened out basically. I guess I am thinking I would just start calling locally. I already checked with a college friend, who is a general practitioner. Of course, they are entering data themselves and not using tran ...

They have changed their name so many times since I have been with this for the last 25 years. Gee, wonder what the new name will be?? I can think of quite a few new names for THIS company, but they would not like it!!!!! ...

Can anyone let me know who some of the companies are that transcribe for VA accounts for example OK City, Kansas City, etc. Thanks! ...

Any advice on getting own accounts? I was thinking about making a page with my info on it. My specialty is psych transcription. Can I just send out my info page to various psych clinics to see if they are looking for a transcriptionist? Any advice on what to charge? I was thinking 10cpl. Any advice on this is welcome. ...

I'm going to be sending out brochures to doctors' offices in my area. I'm wondering which specialties would be the best ones to target - i.e., more likely to outsource their transcription to an individual transcriptionist, least likely to have EMR or EPIC. I can do most specialties, but it would help knowing which ones to try first so I can save money & time. Would appreciate any ideas/suggestions from your own experience. ...

What do consider accounts? All the different facilities, which can have a hundred people dictating or individual physician offices? Just curious? As I was warned by some of you kind transcriptionists, I did not get my own hospital where I previouslly worked, but have gotten several large facilities in the state. When I question the supv, she always says "you are primary" on my old hospital. Like to know how that is since I rarely get their dictation and she has admi ...

I heard about the production bar at the top..I dont have that, my icon changed other than that, I dont see a difference ...

Just checked FIESA (which I loathe), and now instead of my blanks, which I put in because I cannot understand what the heck they're saying and don't want to guess and get points taken off my score, are now SOMETIMES being filled in by QA and I get points taken off!! I feel they are just trying to find ways to whittle down our scores below 99% so they bonus stays with them and not going to the prostitutes I feel we are (you know, where the pimp keeps the majority of the money and we ...

When a healthcare facility outsources to a company such as M Modal do the MT's who were in-house retain their own transcription jobs they once had? Is this a contractual agreement between M Modal and the healthcare facility? ...

I was on other accounts for most of my shift and then got switched back to my normals. Mine are terrible, how can I get switched, tired of listening to foreign docs all day long. ...

We had management changes over the weekend for my new account and the new manager sent out e-mails today that we have to get new e-mails, must start using some probably crap butt IM program (I HATE IM!) and they insist that if your account runs out of work that you wait 10 minutes, then e-mail them then wait up to 15 minutes to see if they can find you some work before you can move to your secondary if that account has work. Meanwhile that means 25 minutes of no pay time waiting around for ...

It was bad enough that we lost 1 of the accounts that I have had for 13 years last week, but today, without notifying me, I was put on new accounts.....the accounts where they are firing people left and right because of not passing audits. My line count went down at least 30 lines per hour, mainly for having to look up physicians to cc, and consulting physicians, ect. I am very stressed, and I just had to vent. My nerves are frazzled. ...

I am just wondering if this is the new policy, or maybe just my little area of Nuance. It seems as if, despite my protestations, I am now forced to have 4 accounts, two of which I am unfamiliar and seem rather generic and never seem to have anyone working on them full time. On the other hand my primary and secondary are always decimated because so many people are on them now so I am forced to do the crappy overflow ones. I really hate having more than 2 accounts, except when things are really s ...
