Included in list of final diagnoses: Dyslipidemia s/l PLAC 320?? What does that stand for?

I am doing a DS. I can't believe this has never come up before (or I've forgotten!) - When typing LAVH-BSO on the diagnoses, can I use LAVH-BSO or do I need to spell it all out? I would think LAVH-BSO would be more readable, but I know the rule is to spell it out. I'm trying to be practical here, but it may come back to haunt me. Thanks ...

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...

I'm having a problem with this part of the diagnosis as she doesn't specify to go on to the next number, as she does with the rest of them, but I've never had someone that adds the procedures used to fix the diagnoses in this section. This is the sentence as she says it, "1. Coronary artery disease, status post 3-vessel CABG in ___ vertebrobasilar insufficiency." The she says "number next" and goes on to the next one. Because the previous word(s) are blanked out, and b ...

New to psych transcription. For Axis I diagnoses, if we are to number the diagnoses (1, 2, 3, etc. does a "rule out" follow the diagnoses before it or does it get its own number? Thanks! ...

I know when there are more than 1 diagnoses, you list each one separately. How do you handle it when the dictator gives 4 separate diagnoses, then "etiology to be determined" at the end? List everything under 1 dx, or list "etiology to be determined" as a separate dx? Thanks. ...

Why the constant slang and abbreviations in diagnoses and impressions? Especially when it could mean more than one thing ( for example I and D) and it cannot be gleaned from the record. Are these clinicians lazy or what. I think there should be stricter guidelines for those dictating, rather than placing the call on the MT. I know I am preaching to the choir so to speak, but it is really getting on my nerves... ...

I finally cut ties with the Q after being returning to work for them and finding them not to be the company they once were or the pay was not the same. After careful consideration and finding another position, I resigned. Awaiting my pay out from my PTO and being told it would be deposited today, nada. Anyone have any idea about this? Will this be sent as a final check or did I get the royal kick in the you know where and will not see that PTO payout. Thanks Q. ...

This will probably be my final post. As some of you might recall, I graduated with my MD in 2010, and just received notice this week that I will be starting residency in July in Family Medicine. I once again want to reiterate to all of the MTs and QAs out there slaving away for M*Modal that there is no computer in the world that can replace a human brain, that your skills are valuable, and that you are professionals and irreplaceable. My 30 years in medical transcription was in ...

This was published in the Federal Register last week, correct? I have a friend who is in a battle with an insurance company over a very sick child. They are always throwing up obstacles for coverage. She told me that out-of-network treatment is covered at 50% of 200% of Medicare rates. So we are trying to uncover exactly what that rate is. Is the CMS Final Rule document what I am looking for to help her? Is Coder here? Expert insight would be so appreciated ...

I have been waiting for final pay from MTSO since May when check was "sent" It has not been received by me, nor has it been returned to MTSO. Operator of MTSO says they have "fulfilled their legal obligation" and the fact that I have not received money is unfortunate. Apparently no new check will be issued or Direct Deposit made until original check is returned as not deliverable. Thoughts and advice please? Yes, I have emailed weekly and have the same response. ...
