Native American

Afro pertains to a "hair style" usually worn by black people or African-Americans. African-American refers to a group or nationality of people whose decendants originated in Africa. Has anyone ever been corrected on that when getting audited? Just curious. I see this a lot. P.S. Not trying to stir the pot or offend anyone so please, no racial slurs or offensive posts. This is a ligitmate question. How do you type it? or do you think it matters? ...

Hadn't used New version all that long (months?) before we switched back to Native. I honestly do not see a difference between the two besides native having an ugly font. Clue me in as to why the switch back, and what's the difference? Thanks. ...

Thoughts on this? What do we do when they quit paying the hourly stipend to make up for the transition? There is no way we can be as efficient or produce as much on this platform, so this is, in effect, another pay cut, or is it just me? Anybody else spitting out the lines on this disaster? ...

Anyone besides me having trouble getting decent line count on the old native version? I feel I am working as hard, but having trouble just keeping up required lines. Now if a pay cut comes on top of this..... you can just stick me with a fork cause I'll be done. ...

Since switching to Native EP, my lines per hour have been running around 130. One day I decided to really apply myself to see how much better I could do, so I focused, did not give in to distractions, was fortunate to get decent dictators, had about 50/50 ISR and straight, and still only achieved barely 160. I attributed my usual low lph to an account with horrible dictators/audio, but that was not much of a factor this day. I am a seasoned MT, fairly proficient with ShortHand, but still strugg ...

For the last several weeks I have been sending reports for a particular MD to QA with lots of blanks. No problems with other MDs or PAs, just that one. Found out a couple of days ago that I'm not the only one sending lots of blanks back for the same MD. Finally got a couple of my QAs back and there was a notation that the facility is working with this MD to take English classes because the blanks have been words/phrases from the native language. Seriously?!?! I ...

There is a cry in USA not to outsource US jobs to other countries. In the same way, are they crying for USA should belong to only native Americans and all others should be pushed out of US for the sake of getting jobs to the native people. There are crores of immigrants from other nations came to USA. I think it is better to pass a legislation in order to push them to their native countries so that Americans only get the jobs and live happily. Then lakhs of doctors, ...

Hey, Everybody: In the spirit of solidarity, if we want support for our cause, then we might want to consider supporting other industries in America. There are places to "Buy American" on the website. We shouldn't support Big Box Stores that import everything and make a killing as well as treat their employees like chattel. You know who I am talking about. If we buy into the theory, "Oh, but it's so inexpensive to go there," then we are just as bad as the tran ...

I saw this article on a new law being passed about outsourcing jobs http://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-immigration-bill-could-slow-indian-outsourcers-092353134--finance.html ...

Okay, so are there ANY companies that are actually owned by Americans who live in America? Everyone says they are only hiring from within the U.S., but that doesn't mean the owners are American. Someone here said one company (Diskriter?) was purchased by "an Indian couple." Why wasn't it purchased by an American couple? Why aren't Americans buying MTSOs? What's up with that? ...

This past week it seems all I have got to transcribe are foreign docs. Some are not too bad, but some it is just plain torture to listen to. What is going on? Also this is the first time I have not been able to pay my bills with my paycheck. It is so depressing. Just had to vent. ...

Just in case anyone thought that point and click EMR is working, read this article. http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20090818/REG/308189963 ...

Anyone work or heard of this company American Precision Transcription, LLC (APT)? Thanks for any and all comments about them. ...

Do any of you belong to American Transcription Association? I just happened to find their site today and it sounded very interesting. ...

Is there a list of American MT Companies who do not outsource? ...

Is anyone on this board a member of this medical transcription organization? If so, has it been beneficial to you? I am asking because I am considering joining because I like what they say on their website. So, I am just wondering if it is worth the money to join. Any and all responses appreciated. Thank you in advance. ...

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...

another country, specifically, Costa Rica. My daughter started out volunteering down there and loved it so much she moved there permanently. She is my only child, and since I really have no family here anymore and she wants me to, I'm considering moving down there. Of course, I'd have to be able to keep my MT job. I'm not exactly a spring chicken and apparently in order to move there you need to either have a pension/social security and/or an income (appare ...

Does anyone have experience with them or did anyone find any info. on them? I couldn't find much of anything. Thanks. ...

Is it just me or does the new American Health Connection ad look like others we have seen from another company...maybe Phonix MedComm? ...

I saw a couple of ads on MT Jobs from this company. Sounds interesting for a change of pace. Any info on them? ...

are MTs from India doing well? I was born and raised in the U.S., I was an English/writing major, and I'm QCd into the ground, which makes me wonder - how the heck are people from India and other countries doing as MTs? Can they REALLY do better than those of us who grew up speaking the language, have spent years doing MT, especially since some of us are English experts (and probably ALL of us are English experts compared to those in India)?! What is going on here, seriously? ...

All that matters to companies nowadays is how much money they can make for their stockholders and for their yearly bonuses. They dont care about the American worker anymore. In India, when they want to fire you, they have to take into account the family you are taking care of, will you be able to get another job. America? They will throw you out on the street without a notice and not give a darn. In my town, the main hospital wants to let Chinese women come over to Ameri ...

It never ceases to amaze me, in an absurd kind of way, how companies can place job ads for positions and ask for bilingual/foreign language to be a major qualification here in the US of A!! This is an English-speaking country, and I resent the fact that these companies can make these requirements on us who are US citizens and English is our first language! They want our expertise in work ethics, but we need to learn their language in order to apply for a job with them; how ...

Would American transcriptionists be willing to work for a lower cpl rate if they were provided with steady work? ...

Does anyone know of stateside MTSOs who hire MTs outside of the country. After 30 plus years will be retiring outside of USA and would like to continue to work. ...

Anyone heard of this company. We got a flyer from them today at work and they say they only charge 6.5 c per line, all US-based, no outsourcing. Looked up their website and they say they are one of the largest transcription companies in the US (never heard of them). Would love to know how they can pay their apparently "highly skilled" transcriptionists when they only charge 6.5 c per line. ...

Does anyone have a list of American owned MT companys??...or have all of them gone to connections with India. I would like to work for an American Owned Company---any suggestions??? ...

Working on a VA account as backup and have had nothing but ESL. Glad to know our veterans are being taken care of by foreigners. ...

I'm writing a report for school (switching fields after 20+ yrs as an MT) and need some help please. I need input about which U.S. transcription companies outsource work to India, Philippines, etc. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. ...
