confusion caused by....

a pay cut for the Q employees! Those of us who have been here a while remember getting paid for phone, internet and just in the last year some got pay cuts bedcause they won't pay over 10 cpl for transcription and 6 cpl for ASR. There are other pay cuts that happened and they just relate to the Q. I remember getting bonuses for over 10,000 lines in a pay period and it went up from there to where 8 years ago I was getting paid 11-1/2 cpl because I did 17,000 lines ...

Not long ago, work was abundant for all MTs, but then it seemed that changed when for some reason, turn around times were shortened markedly. What caused this? Was is just a new way for companies to compete, promising that the work would get back sooner than a client's current MT service, or did something more technical occur, such as government regulations, insurance requirements, etc. I see jobs by the hundreds on the web and yet the complaint is always the same: No work ...

The patient felt something was stuck in her esophagus. The patient has history of s/kl sclurlodmacra syndome and she has had history of recurrent dysphagia in the past. I've got no clue on this. Anyone know? ...

Anyone ever think that could have been a ploy just to stir the pot and see what response they get here? Some people get their jollies in doing that. Look at the commotion and fear it has caused. Seems to have done the trick ...

of a possible class action lawsuit. If you started taking things to the Labor Board you can bet MQ will be forced to let go of people. I'm not saying MM is not to blame because I DO believe they are sending 80% of the work to India for cheap labor and to avoid excessive taxes. They have a right to do that. MM provided work to American workers to provide some with jobs, not to make a profit. It's expensive to employ American MTs thanks to the US Govt, but that's for another day.&nb ...

I may be a total dunce about this but can somebody out there explain to me what the difference(s) are between employee, IC and statutory employee. I see all of these postings and am not sure what to think. ...

HEAD CT IMPRESSION Multiple regions of low density in both sides of the internal capsule, probably represent old white matter infarcts. (Should there be a comma after capsule or not? It makes sense with or without the comma) ...

This is what this doc says: Certainly if there is any rhythms increase, worsen, blah, you know, whatever (chuckles), we will reevaluate at that time. It doesn't make any sense and I don't even know what to type. I'll probably get dinged on something by trying to make it make sense. He's making me crazy. ...

So I am looking into making the switch from MT to coder. The AHIMA program says it takes 15 months to complete and then you can sit for the CCA exam. The AAPC program says you must complete it in 4 months and you can sit for CPC or CPC-H. Wouldn't the latter be better? I've been reading that CCA is pretty much worthless. So, why would CCA take 15 months and CPC take 4 months? Also, every job I've seen for a coder requires experience. How c ...

on a conference call for a new account with multiple locations all wanting specific things. My head is spinning. I think I am officially losing my mind. Of course this account has been NJA most of the day. Let's just say there is no mercy. ...

my company is laying off and since i will qualify for unemployment, my new plan is to finish school in an MT program. i have tried 2x in the past but could never set aside the time/money to do so. now i have found this board, and am a little confused by some of the comments. i had no intentions of working from home but rather a hospital or office setting. i have seen job postings around town and a government site says something to the effect of 11% rise through 2018. so with all that said, how ...

I have heard this before with other meds and have no idea what the doc is talking about. He dictates sodium bicarb nineteen fifty mg. What does he mean? 1950 mg or 19/50 mg, or sodium bicarb19 50 mg. I looked up sodium bicarb for the dosing and still don't know what he means. Can someone help? Thank you. ...

I have been looking at some ads for coding level I jobs at a local hospital but I have noticed this other places too. They prefer an RHIA/RHIT credential but will accept a CCS. Doesn't a person with a CCS have more indepth knowlege of actual coding than a RHIA/RHIT? I have worked for 20 years as a transcriptionist and have had many supervisors with degrees and the RHIA/RHIT credential that were my boss but knew nothing at all about transcription. Do the people hiring ...

Please please help.... EVERYTIME I hear this in dictation I can never just type it out and get it correct...example.... "measures two centimeters by one half centimeters" how is this transcribed numerically?????? Please help!!!!!! ...

This is probably clear as day to most and may belong in the tech forum, but I'm going to try here first. I notice that Nuance owns eScription. Okay, got that. In their ads, they are not compatible with satellite nor wireless internet. Okay, got that. What I do not have is why a completely different company is telling me that eScription is compatible with satellite internet? Just an FYI, this has nothing to do with Nuance. I am not going to work for them and know nothing a ...

Are we still supposed to go into remedy and get a ticket number for out of work or not? ...

As I read the new policy what has been eliminated is the option if you run out of work during your shift, to just call it quits for the day and take leave without pay. Instead, you have to keep checking back during your shift. However, if you still are short hours you have the option then to take leave without pay. I know this is not what the TSM's are saying, but the option to take PTO or leave without pay still remains in the official policy on line, at least as of yeste ...

What's the deal with Medquist-M-Modal.. is this a merger, complete takeover of Medquist or just rebranding? Curious because the deal which is being done is with CBAY, which is INDIAN OWNED. Deadwood floating on water. ...

We need to clear some things up for new people, or those who have only done straight MT and will soon be doing VR. VR DOES NOT require special intensive training, other than, of course, you still need to know how to be an MT. That being said, make believe you typed a letter in your word processing program and you noticed a ton of errors when you went to proof it. You would just fix them, right? It's the same thing, only if you're using the mouse, you would need to l ...

I don't understand the procedure now for out of work. How do I do the teamwork punches? Can someone explain please? ...

Does anyone know what the latest status of the Mayo Clinic is, with regards to medical transcriptionists? I remember they laid off something like 118 MT's last summer, and I believe someone here said they outsourced their work to Amphion. So today I happened to look on the Mayo Clinic homepage under Jobs, and according to that, it says they're hiring "telecommute" MT's. I can't find any mention of an MTSO... it appears to be a Mayo Clinic ad, not an MTSO ad ...

A recruiter recently emailed me and stated in her email "After the minimumlines per day is satisfied for 3 consecutive periods as well as the 90 days you will be offered employee status and benefits". What does that mean? What does a consecutive period consist of - pay periods? Annual quarters? (and please don't tell me to "ask the recruiter" - I have to go through extensive testing before she'll communicate with me again and I want to know if its worth it). I ...

Okay, got the shift differential figured out but now I am totally confused as to the pay periods start and end dates. I have an email from Cathy Jones with Nuance that says this pay period runs from 12/22 to 1/4, which I think would be correct as it is 2 weeks. My TL sent us an email this morn saying we have until 1/2 to approve our timecards and the pay period ended last night at midnight!!! What? Don't we work two weeks and then get paid???? Please explain. Also, have no ...

Can someone clarify for me how schedules/Webclock is supposed to to work??? You are scheduled to work 8 hours. There is no work, you wait 15 minutes, supposed to clock out and check back later, etc. If all of this considered part of your 8 hours?? or do you have to make up the daggum time for all this crap of checking back and forth, emailing to get jobs assigned, etc. I only have those 8 hours and cannot flex. Are you penalized for not getting your hours in?? ...
