Does anyone know of a fax to email provider that is free or reasonable? sm

On Thursday, Nov 1, 2012, I received a phone call telling me that I was fired. After 19 years of being an MT/MME I was told that my line count was too low. I did get a call the week before questioning me about my count. I guess that was my warning. All of us who work for MModal know the changes that constantly go on. We all know the imperfection of SR. We all know about offshore. We all know that you really get straight transcription. Maybe my 11 cents a line was too high. What ever ser ...

I live in a rural area and have limited options for internet providers. Currently have satellite but not happy with service. Anyone know anything about Verizon wireless cards? What is the speed comparable to? Dial up? DSL? Thanks ...

One of my providers is going to switch over to EMR. I've looked into the program and it's got a similar document section to MS Word. However, with them going to EMR, I'm assuming I'll lose quite a bit of my bulk work (macros, etc) that I currently have with "straight typing." So my question is this ... is it worth it to transcribe EMR for a CPL rate or is it better to renegotiate my "contract" and go hourly? I'm an IC/MTSO so get no benefits. Would ap ...

Since we work remotely for MTSOs that may be hundreds or even thousands of miles away, can they really tell if we have DSL or calble or satellite or broadband, etc? I think what I am trying to say is how would they know from that far away what type of internet we have. I have had terrible luck in landing a job with great experience, 25 years and heavy experience with ESL. I do not have much in the way of VR, but am willing to learn. The reason I cannot get a job is ...

I have a new job doing VRE. This is new to me and I am glad to have the chance to learn it since there are few straight typing jobs out there. However, I am shocked at how the reports look when they come to me. To say that I am doing heavy-duty editing would be an understatement! How much time is reasonable to spend on these reports? I am finding that it is taking me a great deal of time to correct them. It might be easier to just transcribe them myself in most case ...

I currently use Starband, an older satellite provider. Where I live no DSL, cable or cell phone signal. Starband just raised my monthly rate, so I am looking into switching. I have Dish TV and see that they have internet satellite, but I don't know anyone who has this. I have been doing transcription from home for 18 years and have used Starband since then. I was wondering if any MTs work with satellite and which provider, and if they are satisfied with th ...

I have been using Forms and Filing systems to order my transcription labels but they have not answered their phone since last week. Can anyone recommend a company to order 8.5 x 11 size labels from? Thanks in advance. ...

It's been nearly 10 years since I've worked as an IC, so I'm not sure what's considered reasonable pay nowadays. Does 8 cpl sound reasonable for radiology transcription as an IC? I'm accustomed to being paid by the report as an employee, so it's a bit difficult to compare the two, but it seems a little low to me. ...

Hi all, I was wondering if there were any companies out there that have reasonable insurance? I am to start a new company in November, but the insurance is outrageous! I am the only one working right now and we have two little ones. So, we definitely need coverage. If you are not comfortable with responding here, please do email. Thank you! :) ...

If you were told by an employer on a given day you could work a split shift, what would you consider a reasonable amount of time in that split frame? 1 hour, 4 hours? I just took a new job and am being screwed. Would just like your opinions and have some validation for my own satisfaction as to who is being unreasonable. Thanks. ...

Can anyone tell me the most reliable transcription service provider out there? There are many to choose from. I want to lean away from phone in trancriptions and lean more towards microphone use. I would also like one that is user friendly, has few and far between breakdown issues and offers line counts. ...

I have worked for the same service for over 4 years. I am an IC MT. I feel I deserve an increase. I asked for one at the end of my first year and was told the economy was bad....blah, blah. Ok, I understood that but now I feel I have earned an increase. Yes, I realize that many feel an IC should just inform the service of their increase. I know that would not fly with this service. They could care less if you work for them or not. Theyhave a "we wi ...

I have been working for an MTSO and my main account is everything from cardiac catheterizations to discharge summaries to OP notes to consults to psychiatric notes. It is a wide range of specialties. I am not making any money. I'm all over the board every day and I am frustrated. Do you think it is a reasonable request to ask for just one or two work types? TIA ...

I'm a poor, struggling medical transcriptionist, as most of us are. I'm six years away from receiving Medicare benefits and have been struggling to pay medical insurance the last few years. I just found out my premiums are going up from $256 to $308 monthly starting Jan. 2013. This insurance is not great, does not even pay for x-rays. Does anyone have an insurance plan that is a bit more reasonable? I am not young, but do not have any pre-existing conditions and really don't u ...

Hi: I have worked for the same hospital for 12.5 years, so there is a lot of loyalty there. I live in a southern state in the USA. I get paid an hourly pay plus $0.47 incentive for anything over 90 minutes. My hourly pay to me is low, but not below $10.00 an hour. Is 20.00 per hour appropriate or am I wrong? Thanks in advance for the advice. PS: I am not here for a debate just want to know what is a good hourly pay for 12.5 years. Thanks, Mel ...

Negative aspiration and pass of free flow of saline into the peritoneum was observed. or is it passive free flow of saline? ...

I am sure these are closely guarded as they would let MTs actually communicate with each other..and that would be a no no.. MTs might actually band together ...

system devised! It never seems to work and is so unbelievably slow I can't stand it!! Glad I got that off my chest. ...

After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving. The first 5 years were great! Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR. If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job. Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8. It's MQs loss. It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better. I just love ...

I'm giving notice that I'm quitting very soon! I made good money until the last year or so and I'm leaving this job that I find boring and lonely (and now doesn't even pay well). I'm going to be working for a doctor as a scribe and getting paid per hour! Woo-hoo!! The pay is not great but at least I will be out of the house and doing something a little different. I will have human interaction too! I'm burnt out beyond belief, ...

You know I am no longer with MQ. I did not pass the audit and honestly I really did not care to. I have figured out why bother. Why kill myself for short checks. I have worked with them for 12 years and I feel so free right now. I also am working for another company on the side so that helps :) ...

Is there a type of chondroitin called "Moo free"? I found it online, but as far as I can tell, it's for dogs. ...

Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group. I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...

FINALLY! I have finally managed to get out of MT permanently. I'll have to drive 30 minutes each way to work, but I will have the same shift I had working at home only for a guaranteed hourly wage! What an amazing Christmas present! Good luck to all of you who are trying to escape. ...
