Hi, Has anyone ever heard the expression 'the patient had a 40-minute hold.' following an IM Rocephin. What does this mean? ...

I'm working on a new account and one dictator always says "the patient is a xx-year-young male/female." Would you leave as dictated or change to xx-year-old? I have been changing it but just wanted to make sure this was right and I don't get dinged on QA. TIA! ...

What has happened to quality? Someone earlier today mentioned that she had a verbatim acct and was embarrassed to send out the report with her initials on it because the doctor's grammar was so bad. What happen to the time when we were allowed to type three, four, five, instead of 3, 4 or 5. We get sentences such as "The patient was prescribed Ultram 50 2 times a day. I'm going to type out two there because at least to me, it looks confusing. Whatever happened to be ...

ridiculous at this point. Yes I am looking for something else and yes I did file for partial unemployment but have not been approved yet. My husband and I just had a blowup because he wants me to just up and quit but I do not want to do that and we can't afford that but we can't afford for me to be going to work every day and not earning anything. Sorry for venting but I'm losing my mind here.... ...

Just got an offer with a company for 1.00 a page for medical transcription. I had thought when I applied it was some kind of insurance transcription but it turns out they are medical. This is certainly not a good rate at all. Anyone else got any offers like this? This is not x-rays, it would be acute care. ...

Does anyone else suspect their company is fiddling with the software, thereby paying less to MTs for the same amount of work? I switched accounts last summer, within the same company, to a hospital that pays more, sure that my pay would increase. Lo and behold, I just noticed on my paycheck that I'll make about 5,000 to 8,000 less this year than last, and, if anything, I'm working more hours. Truly infuriating because there is no way to prove it. ...

Tuesday. I need to see how much "time" I need to make up to get my hours in....ugh! ...

ESL per account for .07 cents a line? I have been getting 2 in 3 ESL for the last 3 months now. Never used to be that way. Not just ESL, but difficult ESL that do 15 to 20 minutes at a time. They changed on me without saying anything. Is this a normal amount or am I being used? ...

I recently started with Zylomed and I am a 'floater'. Does anyone have any experience with this company and if there is enough work as a floater? I am trying to decide if I want to keep doing this or just take on some accounts that would be my own. Thanx!! (: ...

I've never been paid per audio minute. What would 1 dollar per audio minute come to if I can type 300 lines per hour? Does anyone have an equation I can plug the numbers in to or any idea what a ballpark figure would be for this? Thanks. ...

Hi there. Does anybody know what the going rate per audio minute is? I'm used to getting paid hourly. Thanks all! ...

Has anyone ever signed a contract with a company that specified a certain cpl and then when you started, you discovered that you were being paid a full cent less, with no explanation? How did you handle it? ...

Just wondering......I am an IC right now, but I have the opportunity to pick up some extra work from my own personal physician. He was asking if I could type some of his more complicated PFT reports that he does not want to do on the EMR program they have. I have not done any personal account work for a very very long time. Back when I had accounts....we would go pick up the cassette, print out the stuff and take it back. I was wondering if anyone out there has any person ...

For say a syndrome, a drug, a doctor's name/address, facility name/address, etc.? If I think I can hear the dictation correctly I do spend an extended amount of time because I KNOW I can find it. However, if it is ify as to what I am hearing or the spellings could be a dozen different things, I ususally send to QA because if I am not sure - it's probably going to end up to QA anyway. I NEVER look up a doctor's name if the first name is not dictate ...

Well got taxes done and got back a lot less than last year yet made the same amount. Did they change something? This is so discouraging. ...

Since I did not get a gift card yet, I'm curious about the dollar amount on it. Please don't tell me its a $5 gift card to Starbucks. ...

Not sure if this is on the right board but it's about a general transcription question so I think so. Does anone have an idea of how many lines someone would type in an audio hour of transcription? Sorry if that sounds like a ditzy question but since I have always been paid by the line am wondering about being paid by the audio hour. Any input would be appreciated.This would be general transcription. ...

I swear the speech engine just makes up the output as it has no resemblence to what the doctor says! We got a note stating we were making too many errors and our quality had gone down, with a side note that QAM knows we are struggling to maintain our counts, but this does not matter. Every once in a while I get told to slow down. Heck,I doing the best with what I have and the fatigue of doing this all day. Only minor errors such as leaving in an extra pronoun or such. I don't ...

I'm wondering, how many reports on average are pulled each week for audit? Does anyone find it varies, for example, they may pull 1 or 2 one week then 7 or 8 (that are all 100% accurate) the next week, but keep pulling until they find something to knock down your accuracy rating for that pay week so you end up with 12 or 13 reports audited? ...

I started this job back in April, when this hospital decided to bring its transcriptionists back in-house. Small 200 bed hospital and they hired another person and myself. We both have 30 years experience, but she is more so clinic specialty (ophthalmology) and myself all acute-care with 10 of those years working for MTSO. There is no set minimum of lines nor minutes; however, the work is very much backlogged and now they are looking closer at our production as it relates to mi ...

I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...
