Ramsoft RIS PACS BIlling and Magview Mammography - RadMT


Posted: Oct 08, 2013

Does anyone use this software?   The docs I work for are switching to this platform but are not giving me any information.  Is it Word-based?  (Really want to know if PC Shorthand works with it.)  Do the voice files open with the orders ? ... Instantly?   Can you speed up the dictations?  Does it count lines or reports?   Just about any information you have would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Uh oh... - here is a link

for the Ramsoft RIS PACS site. does not sound good for you, as it says data entry is significantly reduced. I will check on the Magview Mammography now. That must be a separate entity.

it too specifies reduced data entry. No wonder they don't want to give you any info. You may still have a job, but at significantly less input, I would say.

Geesh - RadMT

I hope this doesn't mean the Rads will be doing the normals themselves. I do not think they will ever go to VR, but the long reports are VERY long and the normal mammos make up for it (dollar wise). I get paid per report, not per line, so reduced data entry is great, as long it doesn't mean "NO" data entry for me! lol I think I might call this company directly and see what kind of info I can get...so I am not completely in the dark. 40 normal mammos turn my 40 ridiculously long MRIs into 80 average reports, you know? Thanks for the help!

I Want To Learn How To Transcribe On The PACS System
Sep 01, 2012

I am a medical transcriber. I recently started a new job and the PACS system is used. Can someone explain how I can create macros, templates and how I can type a second page for the same patient.

Radiology/Mammography

I have this one doctor who will state his findings at whatever thirty. For example: "The mass is located at 3:30."  I asked him about this and he said "it is the hands on the clock."  He is the type that says he is right and we are wrong so I just told him okay.  But has anyone else ever had this?  All of the other rads state it on the hour, like 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.  Is he ahead of the curve or talking out of his butt?  Thanks. ...


MT/Billing
Sep 04, 2011

Has anyone out there pursued their medical billing degree along with their MT degree? I am currently studying for my RMT exam and am seriously considering getting my Medical Billing credentials, as well. I thought it might be a good back-up plan in case I had difficulty obtaining work in the MT field. I also thought it might make me look more versatile, overall, if I had an education in billing. I am not planning on taking any coding courses. I would greatly appreciate all feedback. Thanks. ...

Billing Change
Jun 13, 2011

I'm now transcribing directly into the EMR for my client now, and therefore, cannot charge by the lines anymore. The only thing I can think of to do is charge by the megabyte.  I would put the whole billing period of voice files in one folder, click properties, and there would be my total megabytes for the billing period. I played 8 voice files that added up to 27.81 minutes and 2.95 mg of voice files so it seems safe to assume 1 mg = 1 min of dictation. At $1.85 per me ...

Billing And Coding
Apr 11, 2011

I have a stupid question.  When I finished my MT course with Allied Medical School, I then found out they are NOT (federally) accredited, they do not assist you in finding positions, and they do not assist in helping you become certified.  In other words, I felt that I wasted all of that money.  As a newbe I was unable to find a job.  I started apprenticing with a company, paid their $500 fee for software, and after 8-9 months, found they had changed their name.  Apparently, they were getti ...

Medical Billing?

I just hung up with an acquaintance in CA who is a professional placement consultant.  I explained to her that after 25 or so years in MT, the writing is on the wall and I need to get OUT. She had some good suggestions for me and asked me if I knew MEDICAL BILLING, i.e. insurance stuff.  She said that she knows a few people doing it from home and that they are "making a killing."  Knowing that Andrews has a good reputation, I did an online search but it appears that Andrews only ...


Physicians And Billing
Feb 02, 2013

I see a lot of my clients as a patient. I have health insurance, which states that they accept a certain payment from that insurance as full payment. However, certain clients do balance billing, which is illegal. Balance billing is basically billing you personally for the amount over what they accepted as payment from that insurance company as an in-network physician. If this were not my client, I would refuse to pay; however, since they are my clients, I have no choice. How would they feel if ...

Question About Ethics Regarding Billing, Etc.

I have just recently started working at a doctor's office.  I do the transcription.  Sometimes when I have a report on a patient who has BCBS insurance, the billing person will come in and tell me to go back into the report from a few days back and take out one of the two x-rays dictated and to do a seperate x-ray report with a different date.  To me, it doesnt sound right.  It raises a big red flag.  I do not work in billing and I am new to the office environment, ...
