Not true - been doing clinic work for 8 years

In Reply to: Any experienced MT knows you can make more - me
and while yes, there are things such as px and other things you can make macros for, my docs say a lot of different things based on who the dictation is going to and what the problem is, also personal things pertaining to that patient. I have found OP notes have more of the same things in them than clinic notes and can make you more money.

That's not always true. I have been editing a Powerscribe account for 2 years. The work sm
has actually steadily increased due to fewer and fewer radiologists self-editing their own work.
I know of at least 4 other Powerscribe accounts at Keystrokes that are also increasing in volume for the same reason.
I am sorry that the account you were on with Webmedx went to total self-edit. I know that Keystrokes had a few that did that too, just not all of them.
Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
It depends if clinic or acute care, years of experience, can you do
ESLs. They pay about the same as most companies.
been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account

That may be true for some but I have been at MQ 6 years sm
doing radiology and always had work.
Don't think it's true, but in years of using it, there ARE
s
Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time. Nice try though.
I say that because it is true. I've been doing this for 20 years, sm
but 2 kids through college and yes I made more 10 years ago than I do now. If I don't feel like I'm being compensated I move on.
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.
Even after years of doing this, it's NOT true for the majority of MTs these days. Look at how man
s
Very true. I've also found 20-30 years in SM
makes a person resistant to any kind of advancement in technology. I've seen MTs of 20+ years who don't even use an Expander because they don't want to learn anything new. Then they complain that they can't make any money.
Not true. I worked at Transcend for years and things have
For years people at Transcend were very friendly and the only time things got really heated on the forum were over personal opinion posts like politics and stuff. Not any more. More and more people are to the point of not knowing what to do with this company anymore. People who have been there years and years have quit or are quitting, and I think most of the peers that are happy are relatively new and haven't seen the downward spiral. A friend of mine quit a while ago and said she got a letter about a month after she quit asking her to sign a release saying she wouldn't take Transcend to court or be party to any claims relating to her employment with Transcend. If things were that hunky dory they wouldn't be so scared that they need to ask people to sign waivers when they leave.
With MQ for about 10 years after they ate YOG. With Webmedx now. What K posted rings true for me.
I'm not wild about my STM, but that person is a definite step up from the Q. E-mail me if you'd like. Work is plentiful on the acute care, Enterprise side. OT is available frequently. No place is perfect, but they have decent incentives, although the PTO is a little bleak. Best of luck.
True. Most have less issues than the Q, though. I worked there 10 years before switching.
Webmedx definitely beats them. You can trust management at any of these larger places anymore.
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...
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
xx
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.
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:(
Funny you should say that...M-F clinic work is exactly what I do;) sm
Like one poster said, the Su-Th or Tu-Sat scheduling seems to have become trendy.
I'm very content with the company and schedule I have. I just keep my eyes on the board to see what is available.
I'm making 9.5 for clinic work
nm
I work for local clinic 17 cpl
But it's only two doctors and another MT and I split the work.
