Anyone know a company that works with small pool of doctors? Tired of so many doctors nm
nm
The coverage is perfect for me as all my doctors and my kids doctors are sm
in network. With WebMedx none of them were. The coverage is much better for me. My husband's company wanted to charge us $1470 per month for family coverage. There are three of us, so that would be $490 per month per person, which is insane.
I say you need to do away with everything in your sentence after
the word UP. These companies know it is hard work and you don't save any time if you are an MT and they are selling it to the MTs like their job is just to fix the transcription. IF ONLY that were true. In many cases you have to take out the entire transcription and retype it. The companies know this unless they did not test it first. The poor MTs or editors do not know thisSad
LOL at your last sentence. nm
x
that was said in just about every sentence, to those
nm
Your first sentence says it all.sm
Most likely, both The bottom line with this UNDER 40 HOURS paranoia seems to be that, with the combination of no-money VR and straight dictation that is virtually impossible to understand, the MTSOs know that to reach their required daily/weekly line counts that we have to work over 40 hours a week to do so - no way around it.
Therein lies their dilemma: They know we have to work twice the hours to make our lines, but they can't acknowledge it without getting into deep doodoo. They're handing us a double-edged sword.
LOL well I screwed up that sentence but you know what I mean nm
xx
With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now. You are right on both counts - 
sentence structure? perhaps
nm
Finish sentence below
So, if you did 100% ESLs yourself the past 5 days let me know and I will gladly retract the statement. If you did not then why did you not help, and get over having to do the easier work? Just tell me that you helped out with the tough ones and I will retract and assume that there are more ESLs here than I was told.
Also, I will GET OVER IT when I am actually assigned the WORK TYPE I was hired for. What was that you said... GET OVER HAVING TO DO WHAT YOU WERE NOT HIRED FOR? Oh yeah, I forgot Bait and switch is the norm these days. IMHO.
please correct your sentence above
.
Spaces after sentence
I don't work there but am considering applying, so I called and asked them about this. Jason said a QA person told him to check the settings in Word & make sure that the problem is not there.
I think that sentence applies here -
you know, the one they use when they don't want to come right out and say you're terminal:
DON'T BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS!
I think I would rather be corrected by the
dictator that some of the nit-picking QA people who check every a/and/the, every comma, etc; especially love those QA people who believe their way is the only way and it is wrong if they say it is. These are the kind of companies that I want to stay completely away from. It's sad though because some of the companies are probably very good to work for otherwise.
What are you being corrected on?? If it
is account specifics, bone up on them. If it is your style of transcription, i.e., they are following BOS and you aren't, or the other way around. If it is simple mistakes, then take the time to proof your work.
That's an impressively long sentence!
nm
Or the ones who dictate a whole sentence while yawning!
nm
2 spaces between sentence; add headings when possible;
nm
Commas aren't put in a sentence just for sm
the fun of it. They're there to clarify meaning. A misplaced comma can change the whole intended meaning of the sentence.
Remember, too, you should be following client specs, right or wrong, over BOS. When there are no client preferences, BOS rules. You must do it the client's way as they're the ones paying for your services.
If you truly think it's a personality clash with the QA person, then go over his/her head. Some QA people have no right QA-ing.
One time years ago I was marked wrong for Groshong catheter because the QA person had never heard of it. (She was the owner's relative and did not have that position for very long!)
I hope this problem resolves for you soon. Keep a cool head and try to work things out in a professional, gracious way. Professionalism carries a lot of weight.
Correction to last sentence of my post...sm
It should have read:
Doing so makes you as unethical as the accusations being made.
Should be too! Went to continue the sentence and didn't.
I hate when I am rushing and can't correct my mistake fast enough before I hit the send button! LOL
I stand corrected...
I see. I stand corrected.
xx
Ahh, I stand corrected. nm
nm
Corrected mistakes - sm
I agree with you about the stupid mistakes that are corrected by the dictator. I feel terrible when the doctor spells out BOWEL or other simple words. The MTs who type like that are a disgrace to the profession. You HAVE to pay attention to every word, know the difference between ileum and ilium, in these diagnostic imaging reports. I don't blame the radiologist for being upset - and the MT deserved being yelled at for it. There is NO excuse. I'm ashamed everytime I have a dictator spell out something so simple, but I do appreciate the occasional spelling of an obscure illness, etc., although I don't trust their spelling, I always check it myself, but their spelling is a help to looking it up. Why throw stones about the offshore MTs when there are MTs here just as bad, or worse? No wonder accounts are constantly changing over to other companies.
Your'e right, the errors have been corrected.
It was written in a fit of passion after just learning that I lost my job, excuse me. I hope you are never put in this position and don't ever get emotional about losing your job. I am sure you can walk on water also.
I stand corrected
No, I did not know many of the things you say here. The only pharmacy techs I know are people with very little training, not like anything you mention, and that does frighten me I must admit.
I do know that many of the newbies seem to have a poor work ethic and don't seem to have had very much training. I see that where I work. And I do know someone who had been in a mentoring program offered by a national and had a horrible experience and barely kept herself alive on what she made.
I did not know the other things you mentioned. I am glad you filled me in on these things. I want to learn all I can about our situation. I welcome feedback and I sure wish the things you mentioned were discussed here. I'd be grateful if you could advise me where to turn to find out such things and keep track of what is really going on, because I apparently am not getting the whole story. I'd also be interested in your ideas for what to do as you seem to know what you're talking about.
I apologize if I offended you or anyone else.
i corrected myself. PAY ATTENTION LOL

oh - I stand corrected. So who's LK?
I would rather be corrected than look too stupid. sm
Maybe that poster or emailer or whatever was trying to help the poster not look bad?
I am playing devil's advocate I guess.
I stand corrected.....sm
The M-F schedule was not an option when I hired, but that may have just been with the account I hired for.
Stand corrected
yes, I meant between sentences, not words. See what working all hours of the day does to you?
Then I stand corrected.
Thanks for the clarification.
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm
nm
PS: In fact, read the 1st sentence, last paragraph: sm
It says that is my take on everything. It wasn't meant to be viewed as carved in stone.
Maybe you should learn to read - like the entire sentence!
nm
Meant employee and not employers in the second sentence

Execuscribe - I stand corrected
Thank you for pointing out actual fraud amount. I stand corrected. Article states $379,968. Kodak alleged near $500k. It was $1.36 million and $632,277 that was ordered to be paid by Linda and husband for damages stemming from the convicted fraud.
And again, you are correct in that it was not Execuscribe by that name in these particular convictions, but former company name of Emtex - whose assets were then acquired by Execuscribe at a deflated value, and then quickly transferred those Execuscribe stocks to her sons -- which generated a new action, and was declared null and void by the court in an an attempt to "hinger, delay or defraud" her creditors. So, yes, Execuscribe was named in this court action.
Maybe I'm off by a few years -- but I remember this business being Emtex, Executive Secretarial, and now Execuscribe. That's SEVERAL names. If I'm wrong on that - sorry. But my point is, one GOOD name should carry you through your whole professional life, don't you think?
I stand corrected and apologize to OSi
And, love the red coffee cup and candy. 
Look above, I corrected myself, how rude people are here.nm
nm
You're right, I stand corrected.
I did not accept the offer as I had much more pride and hope for the profession I have chosen.
Also, my reply was not a company bash session and it was entirely professional. I point that out as my professional pride is the reason I declined the offer from Shapin, which was made by a woman who seemed proud of low quality and the insult they are making to our profession.
Now, I can almost promise that no one will post a professional response that would agree with you. Any real professional would never accept the positions they hire for, unless they have drastically changed. And if they HAVE drastically changed, I definitely take back all I say and hope for the best for them and their employees.

I stand corrected. It is HIPAA
TransTech - corrected post
I was offered a position with Transtech today. The recruiter gave me a lot of info, but I completely drew a blank regarding any questions I had. I work for MQ now, and am looking to leave because I believe it is only going to get worse, and I can't take any more cuts in pay. So here goes:
1. Do they do ASR, and if so, what is their percentage of line rate (i.e., Medquist currently pays 70%).
2. Do they pay any shift differential?
3. Do they allow split shifts or 10 hour shifts for 4 days if 1 is a weekend day?
4. As far as line rate, they offered me 1.25 cents less a line than I am currently making, but their incentive program, from what I understood, seems pretty decent.
5. Are they easy to work with, QA, supervisors, etc.
Any and all information anyone can provide would be appreciated. This is a big decision I need to make by Monday, and am a little nervous, but think I would like to take the leap!
Already corrected this above with the "Oops" post.

Hey Princess, you never start a sentence with the word "but"
NM
I stand corrected. Guess all accounts are not
created equal and sounds like you have a good one.
You're right - I stand corrected. So much for *rules* NM
nm
I corrected it immediately in my lower post....nm
nm
I stand corrected. That's good to know. I have found them to be fair also.

Well I just re-sent my resume to the corrected email address he gave.
I just got it back saying it is undeliverable. Makes me wonder what type of company this is if they can't get their email straight.
Sure I got the email, I stand corrected. Three titled employees are listed & there is one more
that simply has not been announced yet. I will say again, could be nothing at all, could just be a change of guard. Didn't say whatever was going on was good or bad, but wondered what is going on. I will be the first to say change is often a very, very good thing and I am hoping for good!
