Mayo Clinic Scottsdale?
Anhy info on MT or QA positions with Mayo Clinic Scottsdale? Is the test unusually difficult? What type of relocation costs do they pay? I would love to hear from anyone who has worked there or is currently working there.
mayo clinic in scottsdale
if you go onto jobing.com and put in zip code 85233, healthcare/medical, you'll see that they mayo clinic is currently hiring for MT's..attractive pay and after three months of training you can telecommute...but you can't apply for it until it has been 7 days since the date of the posting on jobing..so if there was a new posting for an MT today, you'll have to wait until 7 days have passed before it will show up on the actual mayo website.
Mayo Clinic Florida
I was their website today and applied for some Med Sec/Trans jobs. Some of these jobs have on their website for quite awhile, particularly the one in the Neurology Dept. I'm wondering why they can't fill these jobs. The salary range is decent and I'm sure their benefits must be good.
Does anyone know about Mayo in Florida? Any info appreciated. TIA
Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Arizona
I have been thinking of moving to Arizona for a year or so and wanted to work as an MT at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. Are they outsourcing all their work now? I read some old messages on this board saying the Arizona clinic outsourced some work, but it didn't seem like it was much. I don't see the MT position open on their web page anymore and wonder if they have filled all positions or are completely outsourcing. Anyone know?
Rochester....
Never lived there, but visited there a lot - had a friend who lives in that area. You are right about the standoffishness of the people. Not friendly at all.
Also, to the OP - it's coooooooooollllllllldddddddd up there! The ground is usually covered by snow in October and you won't see grass again until April or May.
I have lived in Rochester. sm
I was offered a job there but at the time I wanted to work from home and they only wanted in house. The Mayo system itself is very impressive. I can't tell you how much I hated Rochester though. Hard to find affordable housing for one thing and the most UNFRIENDLY people I have ever seen. From the clerks in the mall to the other people in our apartment and neighborhood, just plain rude and snooty. I have never been so glad to move in my life. Think twice before moving there!!
I would never relocate for a job.
It would have to pay a six-figure income before I even considered it. There are too many jobs available with other companies, even other hospitals.
I would relocate if
to sweep me off my feet, take me up one wall and bring me down three. Oh yes, I would relocate for the right one. He'd have to be 6 feet 2 inches tall and built like a brick ____ house, muscles rippling and waiting for me when I got home every day from the hospital. Of course, with all that, I wouldn't have time to do transcription.
I would relocate...
if all things were made clear at the outset, such as pay rate, guaranteed rates, benefits, relocation expenses, terms of employment, etc.
Unlike much more qualified long-timers who have replied, I have been doing MT off and on for 5 yrs, recently completed one of the online courses, and other courses locally, and have years of other valuable experience, but in the name of confidentiality, I would rather save that for later.
Recently, I started working with a national, and I am terribly disappointed in what I am seeing out here (as far as nationals go), so I would jump at the chance to be employed with a hospital. Most of my local hospitals already outsource, and I do live in a midsized city in the midwest. That brings me to the question of how long it will before your hospital outsources. They all seem to be going that way, along with doctors going the way of EMR.
This is an interesting post and subject. I, for one, have no ties where I live, no real attachments, and I adore the ocean. For me, I have reached the age where I can ask myself where it is I really want to go, what it is I really want to do and with whom. A picturesque town far from the maddening crowds, but close enough to still enjoy the culture sounds awesome.
Like other posters, there would be some prerequisites, as well, about which I am curious to understand why you are being vague. If nothing else, thanks for the food for thought! But, yes, for the right job, the right pay, the right place, I would and could relocate.
Thanks!
Well, personally I would love to relocate; however, sm
my husband is the bread winner in our family. I have to stay where his job is located. Together, we make a great team and have a wonderful relationship.
It is not easy for any married MT to just pick up and relocate. So, you may have difficulty finding some, but there may be a few who would be interested.
I suggest you try it - you might get that 1 or maybe 2 experienced MTs who can relocate.
The hospital you work for may want to consider hiring Independent Contractors themselves. That may work.
I live on the East Coast and work for a hospital on the West Coast as an IC. It works out beautifully for both parties. It is a very friendly and professional relationship and I go the extra mile to give them what they need.
Good luck!
Yes, but who on earth would relocate for a $10-15 an hour job?
Will the hospital pay relocation expenses? It's not worth uprooting the entire family and losing my husband's job when transcription jobs are a dime a dozen.
Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.
Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and
I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
Personally, I would relocate for the type of job you describe sm
especially under the terms and conditions you descsribed, i.e. relocation fees paid, paid by the line (although of course it would depend upon the line rate), great benefits, at-home option -- what's not to like? I have no ties at my current location, and, in fact, have been thinking of moving somewhere new, just a fresh start in a new location -- sounds kind of exciting to me. I even thought about Alaska. I recently saw an ad by a hospital that was offering a $5000 sign-on bonus! However, as beautiful as it is, with the long days/nights, I do not think I am cut out for living in Alaska. ... sigh. The only drawback, I suppose, would be factoring in the difference in the cost of living. Right now, I am in the midwest and the cost of living is pretty low compared to the east. Still ........... I would love to hear more about the position if you decide to import someone. 
I have been doing medical transcription for about 30 years now, and have been working at home for the last 5-6 years. Something new is always welcome.
Good luck in your quest!
Mayo
I have a friend who moved out there a year ago and is working for Mayo. She trained at the clinic for about 3 months but is now working at home. I think she saw the ad in the local newspaper.
Mayo - Jax,FL
and then you can enter their MT training program and maybe get do do some docs. They outsource their work to several companies, they previously did it in-house although not on site. The facility is top notch, has a hotel and they are almost finished with a huge expansion of the hospital. Great area to live too, but the jobs are in-house. They do alot of local career fairs.
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
mayo in Arizona too
There are two Mayo clinics in the Phoenix, AZ area as well and I believe there is one in Florida too. Phoenix is a really large city these days. If you can stand the head of summer (4-6 months = it varies from year to year) the rest of the year the weather is wonderful!!!!
Clinic work
Amphion has both clinic work and acute care. They are wonderful to work for, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Clinic work
Can anyone tell me companies that have clinic work?
I did not do just clinic work. SM
I worked at a large teaching facility of 800 beds. I did everything from speech therapy, pain clinic, wound care, surgery, H&P, consults, discharges, physical therapy, letters, oncology, you name it. This was a huge facility. And a teaching facility to boot! I was never rude to the woman or anything of that nature. She actually told me that she lays in bed all day with her laptop doing this work. Maybe she fell out of bed the day I interviewed with her, and it put her in a bad mood. :)
All worked out well in the end because I ended up getting a managerial position that pays $52/year along with incentive and overtime.
I work on it for a clinic and really like it. sm
It took me a few days to get used to it, but the line count is good and I use ShortHand with it. If it is the same clinic, you are lucky. I have been on it for 5 years. They are not usually hiring for this account as no one wants to leave it but my lead told me that they have added some doctors. Good luck !
Clinic work
It is for clinic work
DRC has clinic work. nm

I take it you still work for them? Are you on clinic or

Does TTS have clinic work in the a.m.
Trying to get that instead of evenings. Thanks.
I do PT clinic work for them...
my account always has lots of work. The platform I am on is Chartnet which is absolutely my favorite platform - very user friendly.
If you only do clinic work,
you are lucky to get those rates. Acute care is much more difficult and that is what most of us get offered.

If you do clinic work, Yes...sm
Usually anyone doing clinic work instead of acute care can get the Mon-Fri schedule because most clinics don't send in transcription over the weekend hours, and/or have a longer TAT time for their reports than an acute care hospital does. I love clinic work and like Mon-Fri, so that's where I stay.
It has taken away clinic MT work.
My doctor's office uses it. It is a 300-doctor clinic and they have no MTs.
EMR has not affected me personally because I do acute care but it certainly has caused MTs to lose jobs.
Can't say for sure. MAYO, OCHSNER, SARASOTA
If you have no work lately, put 2+2 together. Rads are usually easier so the Palaniyappan Chidambaram folks might not have as many errors.
Be sure to ask for a back-up account. If they don't offer you one or give you one with no work, the Hindu gods are probably very pleased.
Worked at Mayo in Scottsdale, AZ
Great place to work, but it is hot as mentioned by someone else. Great benefits, beautiful environment.
Training there is TOUGH!! Once youre through, you will be able to anything you like, and it is a great thing to have on your resume, and it has helped me out tremendously all the way around.
What to charge for clinic work...
I was just called by a local clinic and asked to do some overflow clinic work - they are behind and are looking to hire - I'm not interested in leaving my acute care for a national, but wouldn't mind helping them out. I was asked how much to charge and I haven't any idea. Is anyone willing to share what they charge for doing clinic work? I would work at home using my own equipment.
I also do overflow work for a clinic..
I charge 10 cpl, but I know that their other replacement charges 12 cpl. If it were a specialty clinic (mine currently is family practice and easy work), I would charge no less than 12 cpl. I'm not sure but it may also depend on where you live geographically. I live in Idaho so I'm sure since our cost of living here is fairly cheap and that would be the standard. If you live in a larger place, maybe you could easily ask for more. Just giving you my input..
CLINIC WORK CHARGES
I DO CLINIC WORK ON THE WEST COAST AND IN NEVADA. I CHARGE 0.14/LINE 65 CHARACTERS PER LINE. SPACES, BOLD, ITALICS, AND UNDERLINES COUNT (I USE INSTANT TEXT TO BILL AND SET IT UP THAT WAY SO IT KEEPS TRACK FOR ME. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO CHARGE 0.15/LINE AND 0.12/LINE FOR THE SAME AND ONE WHO CHARGES 0.17/LINE FOR 60 CHARACTER LINE, NO SPACES. IT DEPENDS. I PICK UP, PRINT, DELIVER, FAX (NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR FAXING) AND STORE THEIR WORK, BACK-UP, ETC. GOOD LUCK.
is this acute or clinic work? nm
Question about clinic work...
Are there any companies with clinic work where the work is always available in the mornings and you do not have to wait around all day for whenever the doctors turn their dictations in (which ends up being usually in the late afternoon)? Or is this typical of clinic work in general? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you!
Companies with clinic work
Are there any companies with clinic work where the work is available all the time (and not necessarily assigned in batches at certain times of the day)? Thank you!
Pretty sure they do have some clinic work (nm)
ss
What do think of their program for clinic work? nm
No message.
Anyone work for Keystrokes (Clinic)....
Can anyone tell me anything about this company? How is the pay (on time???). Is there plenty of work? I was told I would be assigned to one doctor.... what happens if a doc does not dictate one day, can I get a second doc? Any other help would be appreciated.
TIA
Is ER work clinic rate?
I was hired to do clinic wotk but over half my work is ER with ESL doctors and interns. Shouldn't this be paid at a higher rate, or am I dreaming.
I only get 0.07/cpl for multi-clinic work--

Does anyone know of any companies that have clinic work?
Hi, I would like to do clinic work instead of acute care. I would like to know if anyone know of any companies that have clinic work. Your reply back will be highly appreciated! Thank you so much!
Also, sorry if this post shows up twice. I tried posting this question already but I don't see it so I thought I would try posting it again....Again, thank you!
Amphion is mostly clinic work. NM

SecureMTsource has clinic work.

I need to go back to clinic MT work
It seems like all VR is are ESL physicians. I think I need to go back to standard typing clinic work again so that I can pay my bills. My wrists will hate me for it though

Who is paying better for clinic work?
I have 10+ yrs experience also but and I am a slow typer so clinic work is about the only way I can make any kind of a line count. I have been avoiding the 7cpl clinic work because I can't find anything that pays better. Where are these clinic jobs anyway?
Keystrokes and clinic work....sm
Does Keystrokes offer clinic work? Thanks
Well to me it seems to be the other way around, I want clinic work and it seemes all that's
out there is acute, go figure:(
