Everyone knows in this business that what is good for one person is not necessarily good for another. I've gotten more jobs based on other's recommendations only to be sooooo disappointed. To each his own and good luck. It's not like your the first person to quit a transcription job. It gets easier.....trust me LOL

The pay is always on time, but the paycheck continues to dwindle, so makes it easier for TT to pay their MT's, for sure. 

It is so depressing that TT mgmt/lead/sups/tech/in-house clerks, etc. have absolutely no LOW PAYCHECKS. 

They have VERY MUCH OVERHIRED; however, they are losing MT's at about the same rate, but they don't care, because there are newbies that will work for practically nothing to get a start, and all they have to do is make a phone call to TT and they are hired !@!

My pay is always on time, every two weeks by direct deposit.  The insurance is with Aetna, very low deductable, great plan but it' s about $37 per week.  My base line rate is higher than a larger company I just left plus MedScribe has a nice incentive plan, two levels that are included in every pay period.  I think we are getting more business from a large group of hospitals that we currently do work for, and that is always a good thing.  So far I like everyone that I have talked with and I am happy.  Good luck to you.

I am interested in current information on Soft Script.  Is it possible to make good money ($40,000 year/full time). 

Is the programming easy? 

Sound quality good?  I was told it was good.

Thanks for all your help.  Please email me if you wish.  Thank you.

As patients, we need to be more proactive with our medical records by asking to inspect them every now and then.  I have a close friend who was an independent contractor that tried to get health insurance on her own and was denied by several different companies.  She finally found out that there was a diagnosis of cancer made in one of her medical records that was made in error.  She finally found out that her doctor never proofread his reports and it was transcribed on one of documents, but she had to jump through hoops by providing all sorts of documentation to prove she didn't have cancer.  It took investigation by the insurance companies to bring this mistake to light, but just imagine the mistakes that are not caught because of our medical records not being regularly examined.  I think we, as PAYING clients of these physicians, should start demanding more accountability and accuracy in our records. 

From the point I found out about my friend's problem I've been asking to see my medical records at least twice a year.  My family does the same.  Maybe it's time we start spreading the word.
