Hi,

I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again. Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit?

Thanks,

I could see basic four, but all others? I don't

Basic course
MTEC has a basic course and a premier course. You can also go on their message boards and ask questions there.

Basic Course?
Medical Coding. Can you work from home. Do you have to have experience before you get a job? I know you have to have experience as an MT before you get a job.

Thanks

You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on.

It is basic four using Softscript. (sm)
I will have to ask about the margins. Thanks.

No, I do acute care/basic 4 ... so I don't know
about the radiology part, but give it a shot. They've gotten rid of some bad eggs as I understand it, and as long as I've been here, which is under a year, things have been fine.

This is basic medical terminology 101.

She WAS complaining about basic answers.
A direct quote from her post above:

I can't seem to get basic answers to my questions without it being an educated guess or noneducated for that matter!

There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're. Affect, effect. Basic skills of sentence structure. Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.

Acute care basic 4
Yes you can. I have to go at a slow pace because of arthritis in my hands and I still get a decent line count. Wish I had the speed I used to have, I would really be making it big!

all this to yes, yes, yes pertains to basic 4, not radiology.nm

What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:

She wasn't complaining about getting basic answers - sm
She was talking about posts that assumed she was pregnant and looking for a job when she clearly stated that she was planning on a family in the future, and not currently pregnant.

I wouldn't do it. One of each basic 4 types or a few clinic
s

I wonder why they keep advertising if there is no work. Are you doing the basic 4 or clinic. nm

Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.

BOS is a crock. Basic grammer/spelling all that is

Which company offers the best basic pay for Proofers.
what is best matched in industry

Sorry dear. Been at this forever..test was not basic knowledge....
Some of it was stuff you'd never come across in 20 years of doing this job, not even once. lol

That one I know :-) That is your basic rate/line count earnings sm

before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc.

I also have not received my cable reimbursement. Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie.

I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM

Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm
s

She includes ER in acute care, so I guess that would make it Basic Five :) nm

Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up

and now offering direct deposit. This is a great company to work for. It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin. The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children. There is plenty of work and you use Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe. The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English. I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not think of working anywhere else. Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!

The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.

So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.

Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.

If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
