I'd like to see a copy of a letter sent to clients ...
Posted By: what I'd like on 2007-05-04
In Reply to: MT Week suggestions - Kelly
The letter would explain to the client/doctors that MTs work from homes all over the country and we may not know the names of streets, towns, landmarks in their communities. The letter would explain how docs and MTs could both save time if the doc would move his/her lips when speaking, and would speak at a reasonable volume and pace -- not super-fast, and not stop and go while shuffling papers and talking on cell phones. The letter would describe (in a sweet, informative way, of course) that MTs are real human beings and that dictation is not transcribed by magical machines on the other end of the phone line. And then, I'd like to hear all the docs say, Thank you at the end of their dictations and say, If there's anything that I can do to improve my dictation technique, please let me know, and actually mean it!

Do my clients have to have a copy of MPTools to open the encrypted files?

Time for a registered letter to them with a copy of your invoice for payment within 10 days or
s
Neither. You can copy into Word but cannot copy back into Emdat.

What happens, is MTSOs coddle the clients and let the clients call all of the shots.
Then the MTs get stuck with account specs that are contradictory and confusing.
It should be simple. When an MTSO is wooing a client, the MTSO should present with a copy of the style guidelines they intend to follow or if it is the BOS, let the client know that. It should be made clear that with the exception of report format, the guidelines are not flexible. Either we use apostrophes or we don't. Don't do it one way for one client and the exact opposite for the other client and then hold the MT responsible when she gets confused as to what account she is typing that day!
You will not be able to copy those from a MQ
computer. Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING! My husband is a computer whiz and said they have some kind of lock on their system that you cannot copy or transfer to another computer, sorry, but like me, you'll just have to redo your expander, I know it's crap, but you'll make yourself crazy trying to copy it, cause it just won't happen.
copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
Did you ask for a copy of the test?
Just curious.
Copy and Paste....
I have a few of my own standards in MS Word that I will copy and paste into Meditech, but I find the tabs do not translate over to Meditech. Do you have this problem as well? It is aggravating because I have to fix these when I go back to the Meditech screen 
Look at the copy of the fraudulent
resignations email that you received:
WHAT is written in From:......?
WHAT is written in
TO:..... ?
Doesn't this give you a clue?
Can't you use this as evidence that it is a fraudulent email, NOT sent by you???
thanks for the copy and paste--sm
but latest and related are not the same thing. all I am seeing are posts that were placed after mine and nothing in relation to the original post questioning the company. sorry again.
copy and past into address bar. nm

Very interesting. I am going to copy this and save it. nm
:+
copy/paste is against the rules.. we were
from the onset to NEVER EVER copy and paste. If you are doing this you should stop it soon before they figure it out and you get in trouble.
I'd ask to see copy of occup or county...nm
Maybe they can supply you with the right copy of word.

Do you have a copy of the BOS to follow for format, etc.? nm

If I had to copy & paste my IM to an email...
...because I needed a conversation documented, I would do it. I would find a way. Even if I had to get a disposable camera and take a couple of darn pictures of the computer with the IM on it. LOL! 
By the way, what happens if you doin't respond to the IM? Are you an employee with the co? No co. would make me do IM, but that's me. What is the co. so concerned about that they don't want something documented in email???
Copy Meditech to PC Shorthand (sm)
I am new to Meditech. Could someone please tell me how to copy, for example, and whole paragraph such as physical exam into PC Shorthand? Thanks very much!!!
Freelance copy writer here - sm
$25-$45 an hour or per project. It isn't steady but it pays for the extras!
Should I attach or copy and paste
the questionnaire and resume into an email when sending them back to Webmedx? No preference was given.
WHY NOT MAIL THEM COPY OF FEDERAL....SM
and labor board guidelines regarding employment of independent contractors and the difference between IC and employment status. They cannot have it both ways...have their cake and eat it, too. They don't want to pay taxes, Soc Sec, and benefits for MTs.....but they still want the same control over the MT . Same mentality of most MTSO's....insulting our common sense & intelligence bec. they've soooooooo smart and we're are, collectively, soooooooo dumb!
I am currently using it. I type in MSWord, copy
and paste in Meditech. One must be very careful to watch the Meditech screen to be sure you are pasting the right report. I especially like doing it this way because my Expander works with Word, and if for some reason the internet connection is lost, I do not lose my report but just re-paste when connected again.
I hate Meditech..there is too much to be entered before you ever get to the text screen, all of which we are not paid for. It demands a high rate per line. Otherwise, you work yourself to death and face applying for food stamps if the Meditech account is the only one you are transcribing. I would say 15 cpl is a minimum to get to break even...to break even!
forward a copy to the big boss
-
I would request a copy of the test
to review and learn from. I'm not saying that you did make any mistakes, but it would be easier to think that if the company is not willing to provide you with that. I would definitely want a copy for my own knowledge.
actually perfect copy is correct.

copy of fraud resignation
I have a screen shot copy of the fraudulent resignation that the team leader took the initiative to email to me. I don't have a copy of the original fraudulent resignation email that was sent to the account manager, but I sure wish I had, as I learned through Yahoo Fraud Division the following. For instance, I email a person, not forwarded, just they receive my original email. If you go to the very bottom of that email, in the right lower corner, click on Full Headers. Now go back up to the top of the email and what do you see....You will now see the IP address. That IP address tells a lot about the sender. Hmmm, do you think All Type would insist ***** do this since she is the one who received the fraudulent resignation? Would save a lot of legal headaches. I think I shall request that, but something tells me I will not receive a response.
DRC did. Printed out a copy of the test and took it over the phone w/the
s
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
If there is anyone higher up, send them a copy with a complaint.
If the person who sent it is the last buck in that company, send a reply along with the original message telling them to cease an desist harassing you and that if anything else like that happens again you will be taking appropriate action to ensure it will not happen again. Print out/save your copies. Then, call the office and tell them the same either to their face or the next person in line. Tell them you are making a note of the call, who you talked to, what was said and why. Do not partake in any harassment in return, do not sink to their level. Plainly tell them to stop or steps will be taken. Doesn't really matter to anyone here what was said or why. If you feel you are being harassed you need to handle the situation calmly and promptly.
Good luck.
I had the same thing happen and I asked for a copy
of the test and was told they couldn't mail it to me. Which makes no sense at all since the document was in Word and all they had to do was Email me the corrected version.
also turn them into perfect copy (s/b copies) lol
nm
no them is plural - them to copies ; Had he said it - then turn it to copy.

P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.
And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
Can tech support copy my desktop?
I am just curious. This is my computer and I use it to make a living. Kind of like tools of the trade. But, I wonder if it is possible for tech support to copy information on my desktop. I worked for a company where they spent an unreasonable amount of time on my desktop. Am I just being overly suspicious?
but that still takes time to copy/paste
This company prob charges their client the same rate for the entire report; everyone is feeling the crunch! So, let's hit the MT's pocket; I'd pass on companies like that.
Any company will leave you alone if you do your work, so that's not a plus!
typing off of a written copy instead of a voice file.

The bank has the copy of the transaction in hand and can provide it to you.
That's life! Too many untruths are told or maybe some banks operate differently, which is why dealing with the biggest might be an advantage.
No, but one place would do it after we sent a copy of the bill with our invoice, or mailed it

Is it common to send a copy of ID and S.S. Card for IC position?

Went to the website, too. Just curious as I noticed the old copy dates, too. nm

Control copy, put in in text description, name it then save.

To any Spheris employees, I quit in August and would like a copy SM
of my YTD earnings. I have called HR but they never return my call. I forgot how to access the online ADP. Can anyone give me a phone number to call, payroll number or something so I can call and get a copy of my earnings? Thanks.
Received Webmedx hard copy today
I actually have always hated to be called a typist. I do not just copy type. sm
I am a transcriptionist. 
I think the voice file is the next step. As far as the copy typing, sm
I didn't do as well as I thought I would either. That not being able to back up more than a word kinda sucks. Still, it was fun. I guess I need to get out more - ha.
Latest, related, same difference. Copy and pasted.

the clients were in NY. nm

Maybe not your clients, but many are.
Your clients may be behind the times, but many are not. VR has gotten much, much better, and I've spoken with many, many MTSOs who are moving their accounts over.
The average seems to be about 60% to 80% VR and 20% to 40% transcription. There will always be those you cannot put on VR, but it is growing rapidly.
Not all clients DO know--that's just it!
Yes, some clients DO know, and the almighty dollar is the only thing they think of. But some clients DO care, and they don't know their records are going overseas. They would be apalled if they knew. Come to think of it, so would the patients.
not when the clients have the last say
Do not get me wrong. I do not care for it either, but somewhere down the line, the companies will have to suck it up and so will we. Otherwise, we move to a different field. Unfortunately, that is just the way it is.
Becoming an IC with own clients
How does a person become an IC with their own clients, not working for an MTSO? From what I have read on this board, it seems that is the way to make the most money per line/word/page, etc. so I am thinking about doing this after being an employee for 15 years (with things going downhill now). I would appreciate knowing several things:
1. How do you get the clients.
2. Are there certain types of docs that tend to prefer this situation rather than going to an MTSO?
3. How do you determine what to charge?
4. How can someone get the dictation, type it and return to the doctor without having to pick it up and drop it off?
5. Without QA other than yourself, how does an IC handle blanks? Do doctor's offices tend to get upset with blanks?
6. Is there a particular software system that is better to use when you have your own IC service and want to get work over the Internet and return it over the Internet?
This and any other advice greatly appreciated!
