Sepsis. Diagnosis is sepsis due to pneumonia. The diagnoses are presented in this way:
Sepsis due to pneumonia
UTI due to E. Coli
Now, if you code the sepsis, it will be sepsis unspecified because you do not have an organism documented for the pneumonia or the sepsis (they don't know)038.9, 99591 and 486.
If you go to code the UTI with E. Coli, there is an edit that excludes 041.4 with 038.9. Do you put it in, or do you just leave the organism for the UTI ...
In all my years of life, I have NEVER typed 3 P.M. It is 3 p.m. NOT CAPPED.
Now, all of a sudden, I get marked off for not putting it in all caps? I HATE M*MODAL! ...
I dont pay much attention to upcoming jobs..But I will from now on...Second job I have had in 2 days that was marked as ASR but came out blank..Typed the whole thing and was making a macro for the doctor and saw the skipped marker when I deleted the text..So I made it and expansion, hit f11, cleared it all out, and sent it that way..And im not bothering sending reasons why I do F11, if they want to know they can ask, I dont have the time...Beware all thats a sneaky way to screw us out of lines. ...
our pay will be docked because we may leave out "a" or something along that line or not place a comma where they believe it should be. Before it just affected our bonuses but not our actual pay that we get. Now our pay will be deducted for every error that they deem that we make!!! That doesn't even seem legal. Even if you work at McDonalds and make a mistake they don't cut your pay and don't give me the crap about affecting patient safety. Bull crap! ...
I am thinking of getting into the field of MT but not hearing good things about it as far as steady work and getting paid. I am also courous about the average yearly income because I've heard a wide range of numbers. Also what is the real deal about getting work right out of school with no experience. ...
I have been trying to get a MT job since September. I have thirty years of experience. A company called me last week because they were looking for a seasoned radiology transcriptionist. They saw my resume on a board from 2010. Anyway I interviewed and was ready to take the test tomorrow and I just got an email saying one of their MTs want to increase their hours so I won't be needed anymore. They did not know this in advance. ...
Can someone please help me. I am new to the company, I have not been here 90 days yet. my TSM is "gone" so I have a new one now and have not yet spoken with her. I am very concerned because I realized that my "contracted" rate of 4 and 9 cpl at 150 lph does NOT meet my state minimum wage, I rarely get straight typing to get the 9 cpl. I also am not meeting the 150 lph yet, even so that is only like 6$ an hour, that is horrible. I should have done my math beforehand. I didn't think they coul ...
They seem to be on every board and they just keep coming down and it reminds me of winter. I don't really like winter. I'm more of a summer person. Also, is there any way to change this site from blue to yellow? I prefer yellow. TIA! ...
Just a thought, has anybody noticed that all TLs and TSMs are CMTs. I believe they discriminate against those of us who do not have our RMT or CMT for any positions of authority. I have applied for many TL and TSM positions and have never heard a word. They CYA by putting that preferred line in, but what they mean is don't bother. I believe this is discrimination. What do you all think??

My ASR rate x 100 is less than minimum wage. My transcription rate x 100 is just slightly higher than minimum wage. I wonder if MQ is planning to increase the minimum lph to 150. ...
How of HIPAA compliance yields profitable partnerships?
I guess a lot of emphases given to HIPAA compliance is truly justified, especially in the case of outsourcing. The thrust on confidentiality and security of patient records grows manifold when it's done across 7 seas. ...
This is what I understand to be true: If we had supplemental insurance through Alpha Staff, such as Critical Accident, Cancer Insurance, Short Term Disability, etc., the expiration of this coverages ends this Friday, August 31. I have spoken with Colonial , the company we are supposed to call to discuss new coverage, this morning. They told me they are waiting on "something" from our company before they can give quotes or put us in the system individually. It sounds like if we get a c ...
