In Reply to: Is there really any way I can go wrong to accept at-home hospital job?SM - JT

I was offered an in-house position for a teaching hospital last year and turned it down because I wanted my flexibility. The hospital had already done the outsourcing thing for a couple of years, hated the quality and didn't find it cost-effective, and was re-hiring their own staff.

Now my MTSO doesn't allow a flex schedule anymore, I don't have the benefits or stability the hospital does, and it will take me forever for another opening to come up. Not taking that job is a big regret.

Grab it...

I've only been with MDI a couple of months and my advice is, if they've made you an offer, GRAB IT. I've never run out of work, but my understanding is they are more than willing to cross-train in other areas if the MT desires more work.

The recruiters/QA people are professional, friendly and responsive, communication is top-notch, Bayscribe platform is simple to use, and most all of the dictators I have had are quite decent. On top of it all, pay is always on time and you always know the exact amount before it hits the bank.

Congratulations on the offer and good luck to you.

Grab the 9 cpl is my advice. sm
Doubt you will be offered more especially without op notes. Take this opportunity to learn op notes now. That is what I specialize in. You might like it!

wow 6 cents huh. Grab it before somebody gets it.
Those kind of posts are just to see if it will work. All the MTSOs get together and price fix (illegal) and they all figure get the price down and we win, all agree on the standards, accuracy, line count and price. We are regarded like the old days of slavery, treat em bad, they will begin to agree with us (by their treatment) and accept it. Well we have value, don't accept this stuff. Keep looking around.

And yet, some newbie will grab it up for the experience. nm
