Is a requesting doctor the same thing as a referring doctor?

Yes. Essentially, if the medicine doc requests a consult with cardiology, then medicine doc is the referring the patient to cardiology.
me where to find the holiday request off rule --not more than 60 days or something like that. I cant find it on MQ Central. If you know the rule or how to find it on MQ Central that would be great!! ...
Does anyone else having trouble getting an answer to requests for days off? Sometimes they aren't approved and it's 24 hours before! Then I have to email and wait for an answer....
Holidays are a nightmare. I think I make about 6 dollars an hour (seriously) Is that kind of pay really worth missing a holiday with my family? So sad, so stuck. ...
I am looking for the policy that will tell me how soon I can start requesting time off. It seems like it is 60 days and 90 days for holidays??? Thanks. ...
Since I'm still using Windows XP, I need to change to Windows 7 OS to be HIPAA-compliant. I will either buy a new computer or have one built for me. Since price is a huge factor, I would like to spend the money on only the most important features (RAM and sound card). Could anyone please advise me on how much RAM, size of hard drive, best sound card without going overboard, etc? Preloaded or built from scratch? Desktop or laptop?
Like I said, since money is so ...
When it is dictated that the patient had knee surgery, (a couple of other procedures), then says rotator cuff and patella surgery... would that be considered a repeat of the knee surgery?
How am I supposed to know if when he dictated this, he was referring to the same surgery or not?
I blanked it and got an error on a post audit.
If I had repeated a DX in the list, I would have been marked off for that---cannot win either way.

Nuance actually had the nerve to send out an email about referring fellow MTs to their company. Either they are that brazen or just clueless as to how bad their company is. I don't advise anyone looking for a job to even consider this field, let alone the worst company I've ever worked for. ...
. . . continue the rest of her medications as listed in her MAR. Does anyone know what this stands for or if I am spelling it right?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Just one more thought. I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it. They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished. For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude. I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all. Again, could it get any worse? ...
Not that I'm not glad it was an increase rather than a pay cut, but I think for a lot of us this "raise" is going to just even us out for when he start getting docked pay April 1. Funny that this "raise" is starting April 1, isn't it? ...
Now I know I did the right thing in not only leaving the Q but leaving the field altogether. I had another physical last week and my blood pressure was back down to 120/70, and my doctor was very happy when he learned I had quit.
They wasted no time in sending me labels to ship the computer back, though. Oh well.. they don't want the monitor, or mouse, or keyboard, so I'm keeping those! ...
I clicked on each of the highlighted areas in the e-mail, but where do you go to set this up?
I must be needing more coffee or something. I just dont get it. Read it 3 times now. ...
If this dictator says, "peeeeeeeeeeeeriod" one more flippin time, I am going to scream as loud as I possibly can and then punch the daylights out of this monitor! ...
Urine welkenton? Not sure of spelling, since I'm not sure it's really a word. They could also be saying welkington. That's what the dictation sounds like and I've listened to it several times on numerous days. Can't find a reference to it anywhere and I've tried many variations. Wondering if it's a really old term or if I'm completely misunderstanding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! ...
I do believe now that they are starting to target those of us who were making 10/6. In the past, on my old accounts, I was audited no more than once a month. If I failed an occasional audit, they would wait another month to see how I did on that one and since I always passed, no action was taken. There was also no action after I took more than the allowable time off. Then, at the beginning of November, I was moved to another BOB. After being on the account for less ...
I just can't stick it out 2 weeks :( Every job I type just stresses me out more and more. I am to the point that I don't care if I get my 20 hours PTO I have built up. I am emailing back and forth with my TSM right now and it sounds like she is reading off a script! "Take each report as they come and try to do your best to prevent errors" No $%^& lady!! Does she think we don't know that????? ARRRGGH I am so beyond frustrate ...
Just had a doctor dictate "potassium 40 mg," (should have been mEq) and then further down, "Levemir 40 mg" (should have been units). If I had not left blanks for them, that would have been 6 points off. It also compelled me to use my allotment of blanks for that report!
But they, of course, do not get penalized for their mistakes. On the other hand, our pay is docked. There is a double standard here that needs to be changed. ...
The sentence is ...
The ---- was normal to slightly below average. It sounds like wetzler...i did research but I can't find the correct way to spell it..
