Does anyone who cannot get major medical insurance have any of the limited plans which are not discounts, but limited insurance? I cannot get major medical, but need something. I have diabetes and am wondering if there are any good plans out there. Thanks for any help you can give. ...
I do not know a good rule of thumb for these two sound alikes... but I think profusion is like an excess of something isn't it?

I may have to go to full time with MModal but really hate to. I have always been a part time employee. What is FT limited? I know on full time limited you only have to type 120 lph but is there anything else different between regular full time and limited full time. Is there anywhere on the MModal sites that gives this information? Thanks so much. ...
So far I am 7.5 hours short due to NJA. I have some PTO time avaialble. I want to put a claim in to get started, because the last time I filed in October 2011 they held myr first week, and I did not get that money and went without pay. I cannot go without pay, so I want to get the ball rolling on the partial UE, then I can get checks and not have to use PTO or worry, since I make about min wage nowadays anyhow.
Sorry if this is confusing. ...
for job interview. The internet says there are scams out there for this type of thing. Anyone hear of this company? The job is posted on another board. ...
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 ...
I think if a study were done, findings would show that the tediousness and repetitiveness and intricacy of the editing required for this particular ASR will slowly but surely drive you insane. I am so nervous, I chew gum like a wild woman (and now need my second crown which I cannot afford), have developed tics and skin picking, and eat voraciously --- due to editing. Flame away, but I have typed for 25+ years and never had a problem (actually enjoyed my job); however, after 5 or so ...
I'd like to begin studying medical coding on my own to see if it it's a match iin terms of learning and liking the field. I have 30+ years of transcription experience and usually learn fairly quickly.
What books/workbooks do you suggest as a start to see if this feels like it will work for me? And for people who have done this on your own, what did you include in a program of study for yourself? Are there some areas that you feel an in-house course is needed? Replies greatly app ...
I am looking forward to enrolling in a medical coding class through Andrews School this fall. I was curious as to how many hours a night or week a student puts in studying. I work full time, and also have a prn evening job doing transcription in the community that I live. Those hours are flexible. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

I know it varies from person to person, but how many hours per day/week do students estimate they put in for an on-line coding class? Thanks in advance. ...
"Brain MRI showed no acute stroke that was a motion-limited examination."
Does this sentence make sense to you or am I just getting it wrong? Seeing as how you're not supposed to move around during MRIs, this makes no sense to me. Or maybe I need a lot more coffee today and/or a day off... ...
Sentence in EP study: The patient showed a pattern of (torsion of the point). The arrythmia was terminated and patient continued in a stable cardiovascular status. ...
I am getting ready to enroll this week with Andrews for medical coding, and am really looking forward to this new challenge and learning opportunity!! After 30 years as a state employee, I'm actually switching careers. With that being said, I was just interested to find out "where" people like to study in their homes when studying 4-5 hours a night and working assignments. Do you sit at a desk with the computer in front of you, or do you use the dining room table, a comfortable ...
I am transcribing a report for the Einstein trials for a drug. Everywhere I look, it has EINSTEIN (all caps). I cannot find anywhere this is an acronym. Should it be transcribed in all caps? ...
Usual story -- I loved MT, but I'm about to be laid off and know another MT job would probably pay minimum wage (if that!).
I'm lucky, in that I'll get enough unemployment to live on and will probably still have enough savings to pay tuition. However, I have no preexisting college degree, and both unemployment and tuition money will only stretch to about 5 quarters.
I've already passed the CPC exam once, can brush up and pass it again.
My local co ...
