Codes, Coach, Closed healing which is not going to show up on x-ray

Good morning all, I am a long-time MT considering medical coding as a new career as I love the medical language profession and do not want to leave, however, keeping a long-time MT job that makes money I can live on is becoming almost nonexist. By sheer luck, I met a manager of a small clinic that offered me a medical coding entry level job $16/hour with medical insurance paid for in full for a family. Only thing I have to do is pass the exam and become certified. She had to become ce ...

Okay, I'm new so I am not making much yet. Can we all just make a post saying how many hours we work, what we gross, how long you've been transcribing, and whether it is vr or st? Don't name your company. This way we can guage what we can expect to be making down the line. I've been transcribing for 2 months. This week I worked 37 hours and grossed $259.00 and it was 90% VR. ...

Just got an email about getting a new quality coach. This, of course, answers my question of why no emails for the past week from her. I hope she didn't lose her job. She was a really good coach, the best one I've had in the last 7 years, and wasn't one who corrected little things like punctuation in audits or things that made no difference in the report integrity. She is one I will miss. I only hope the new one is also with a strong QA ...

Most of us are typing for many, many different hospitals. If you send out e-mails lumping all the hospitals together with helpful hints on what we are doing wrong and what we should be doing, where should we be filing these e-mails for future reference? If we take too long to try to find the info in your e-mails, that gets counted against us in the Inactivity Graft that we have to stare at each day. Unless you have a better suggestion, could you please simply split up ...

How would I survive without this reminder? I cant believe I have lasted 18 years here without this? Give me a flippin break. ...

This is the 3rd one since being put in this pod. I liked the last one because she was laid back, calm, answered the actual question you asked and actually gave useful nonshaming advice. The first PC I had in this group was hyperactive, never could seem to understand or answer the question asked, always had something to say about absolute correctness, and never let you get a word in edgewise if you tried talking to her on the phone. We'll see about this one. She sounds like she might be ...

Tools of the trade: I check everything dictated, and I have a ICD-9 reference, however, no CPT reference. I am wondering if the information is available to us from MedQuist without cost someplace that i have not looked? At one time, it was freely available online. ...

hmmm, just curious after reading this: "The codes, produced by the American Medical Association, are updated each year, usually with no problem, experts say. But this year, changes to a mere 30 codes that affect mental health services have thrown a huge glitch into the system." -->Being that I do not qualify for a grant until after this month, I have not started school for coding yet. Is this a good time to learn coding, with all the changes in codes etc, and the ICD-10 coming out after I ...

Can anyone help me with making a jump code in Word 2010? I am so frustrated and can't find any info on what I need. I use shorthand and I need to be able to create a "macro" that will allow me to press Ctl +J to jump to the ??'s in my documents. For example, the patient is a ??-year-old ??male. I want to be able to jump to those question marks with a keyboard command. Noone seems to know how to do this. HELP!! ...

PLEASE HELP. I know each person you work for has different codes they program into their C-phone....

...but this was in my newspaper today and it cracked me up. Commentators have had fun with the new system of medical diagnostic codes (denominated in from four to ten digits each) scheduled to take effect in October 2015, and the â��Healthcare Diveâ�� blog had its laughs in a July post. The codes for "problems in relationship with in-laws" and "bizarre personal appearance" are quixotic enough, but the most â��absurd" codes are "subsequent encounters" (that is, at least the second time ...

I work as an IC MT for a psych clinic. My director called, asking for coding information. He knows nothing about coding (neither do I) and it took me a while to catch on to what he wanted. I believe he wants an ICD-9 code for the appropriate compensation of writing and reviewing reports? His office secretaries don't have any idea. A code for somone like himself writing and reviewing at a master's level, then another code for the psychiatrist obviously at a higher l ...

Can anyone clariify a procedure code for me. What is the difference between 99.10 - infusion/injection of thrombolytic agent and 36.04 - intracoronary artery thrombolytic infusion I have researched this all day and cannot find an answer.

I have been doing some research on closed captioning and CART jobs/career. I searched the archives here, also. Does anyone know, however, if one needs to be a court reporter in order to learn the above jobs? I'm wondering if one can learn stenography, etc., in some type of program without going through the entire curriculum of court reporting. Thanks! ...
