pain scale - Miracleseeker

Context - The patient's pain is about a 2/10 on a s/l swashu scale total. s/l Swashu scale is an 11. He says this twice, but I can't decipher it well. Is this an abbreviated term, maybe? Patient is a new consult and this is also a new account for me, so I can't look this up via old records. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail) He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...

He is referring to premenstrual pain?? ...

Can anyone give me a GENERAL idea of what OSI might start you out at per line? I have a lot of experience but I know that doesn't matter much anymore. I am not going through testing to find out the pay is 7-8 cents per line. Thanks for any help/suggestions. ...

So they took back that ridiculous and insulting "raise" of 0.001 cents per line I got a year or so ago and the 0.007 for speech wreck? Figures. I must have been making way too much now. I shouldn't have even opened the E-mail. ...

Lets see if i make 3/6 a line that comes to 250 x 0.03 = 7.50 an hour -- wow minimum wage. 150 x 0.06 = 9.00 an hour -- McDonald's wages. At 4/7 250 x 0.04 = 10.00 an hour - Do you see the different 1 cents makes? 150 x 0.07 = 10.50 an hour even if you did slightly better and could do 300 lines an hour editing you would only get 9.00 an hour. So to make any money there, you would have to literally kill yourself. TTS IS NO GOOD. period end of sto ...

I posted this question below but fear it will be buried. To those of you just hired at Focus, how's the pay scale? I currently make 8.5 straight/4.5 editing. Is it comparable to, higher than or lower than that? I'd never ask anyone to divulge their pay scale but I'm trying to get a feel for if it's better than where I'm at. TIA to anyone willing to give me a ballpark hint here! ...

Experienced MT looking for new position. Reading posts seems like Webmedx might be a good choice. Can anyone give me an idea of earning potential for someone like me with 25+ years experience. Have been working independently for almost 20 years for a private physician who is now retiring and sold the practice to a young computer oriented doctor. Obviously I can see I'll be on my own soon. Any advice is welcomed! ...

Is it just me or has the pay scale for transcription gone down? More often I'm seeing 8- 8.5 cents per line for independent contractors and 7 cents per line for employees. Is this just some freak thing lately or is it the norm? ...

Does anyone else notice the pay scale is dropping for transcription to 7 cpl being standard now??? Was 8 cpl not low enough. Why are we accepting this??? Come on MTSO? What's up with that? ...

I am wanting to submit a proposal to my company owner about implementing an incentive-based pay scale to help with some issues we are having with people not working consistently and to reward those who are putting in overtime, etc. I am having a hard time finding any information on this as far as like a sample scale. As far as I understand it you make your base pay say for example 7 cpl for the first x lines, then for the next y lines you make an additional 0.025 cpl and so on up the line... If ...

I'm thinking of applying to Transcend, but while searching the archives I see posts saying that they only pay 8 cpl for transcription and 4 cpl for VR. Is this true? I have over 8 years of experience in acute care and don't want to waste my time if this is the case. Thanks! ...

Just got an offer from MedQuist for Tier 2 but at a pay rate of 0.08/line with what is, in my opinion, a difficult work schedule for someone with a young family. Am going to see if they can sweeten the deal but wanted to find out from those of you currently working for them what your experience is with their pay rate. I currently have 0.11 and 0.145 with other providers but need additional work to cover the nut. What is your experience with the shift work of 12-6 and 4-10? Do you physicall ...

Hello: Can anyone tell me if there is a pay scale for each tier on the MModal MQCentral page? I cannot find anything.

What does the Tier III mean for a MME or QA? How many tiers are there? ...

For *pain* scale (1-10), i was taught to add the range if not dictated. Example: D: Pain was a 5. T: Pain was a 5/10. I'm not familiar with *function* scale. This is a spine surgeon. This particular patient is having neck and shoulder issues (if that matters). Is there a specific *function* scale? If so, what is the range and do you add it like the pain scale, or do you guys just type as dictated without adding the range? ...

Does anyone know what the current straight typing pay scale is? ...

As best I can calculate, the Indian MTs are started at about $40/week. This is not an error. I looked at both the application from Nuance (which can be found by googling) as well as the exchange rate. So when you see all the "extras" they are offered, try not to be jealous; they can't buy groceries with those extras. Apparently they are as dissatisfied with the management of the MTSOs as are we Americans. The question seems to be how many will continue to work for such low salaries and ...

Math was never my forte. The pay is $1.15 per 1000 characters, 425,000 characters per pay period (part time) required. I'll be working 20 hours per week. ...

October isn't going to work for me. You need to give me back the pay you stole from me before October because the bank won't wait that long. I will be homeless before that. What would you like me to do? Transcribe out of my car and use the gas pedal as my foot pedal? Get real, Nuance! How do you think we can make a living on what you pay us? We were doing just fine until you started robbing us blin ...

I'm a current Webmedx employee and looking to work elsewhere, as I can no longer support myself with this company even with a second job. I'm wondering what the pay scales are for Medquist and Transcend. I've contacted many, many MT companies over the last few weeks and they are all slow to (or never) respond with pay inquiries, so I hope those experienced with these companies can help provide answers I'm looking for. What I'm looking for: Pay scale for manual, VR, ince ...
