Regardless of whether they are live or archived, 10 test reports is ridiculous.
From my experience, the average number of test reports is usually around 4. Like another poster said, if an MTSO is this crooked with potential employees, God knows how they treat their hired MTs. I'd take that as a sign and bolt.
10 reports is ridiculous, live or archived. I'd bolt. nm

ChartMatrix (TransHealth) has archived/quick access to prior reports. nm
At OSi using ExText we can easily pull up other patient reports
I've done that many times if I can't understand a medication name or whatever. I'll pull up the H&P, progress notes, whatever. Really easy to do.
ExText line count for individual reports? Is there a way? nm

It's IC, hospice reports, Dictaphone ExText. Nice lady, but

I have years of experience with ExText and ESLs. These reports had holes in them, the docs were so

As a QA, I agree with this. I correct the reports &
don't pay attention to who the MT is, unless of course I've been instructed to look out for a certain error an MT is repeatedly making, etc. Why on earth would we ever be 'out to get' anyone? We're all in this together, and our job is to produce the best report possible for the client. When I was MTing, I looked forward to my corrections because I knew I could learn something from those more experienced, and I wanted to do the best job possible & learn as much as I could. If something needs correcting, don't take it personally.
Yes to old reports! Their ExText has all the regular functions except line counts are done on line

I agree. Big factors- ease of dictators, length of reports, platform. NM

I agree with the others -- I like ExText. TransTech uses it, and sm
I am sure others do too (in case that is the company you are unhappy with). MDI-MD uses Bayscribe, and it is also very easy to use/user friendly. Webmedx uses their own platform, but it is easy to us as well. I have worked with Iscriptor too, and it is fairly uncomplicated. Good luck!
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them

Totally agree,I love ExText
I have been working in ExText for months and love it. All of my lines are very accurate and I make an awesome line count every day working in it. I wouldn't want to work on any other platform!
I agree that ExText leaves a lot to be desired...sm
it even seems like there are days it is better than others. How does that work? Shouldn't the same endoscopy report, almost completely canned, always populate the same way?
I agree. The line counter is a pain, but I've checked lots of reports against MS Word
nm
I agree. Extext is the platform I've ever worked with. nm

I agree - hard to get decent line count with ExText...sm
Good to know other people are having the same issue as I thought I was just getting slower in my old age! Seems like I can do almost twice as much with DocQScribe and escription.
Couldn't agree more! I don't hear other ExText client MT's complain about
nm
How do I search for info that is not archived? Do I do
nm
From the archived posts not much good
to say about them. Hard to get lines, it takes a rocket scientist to figure out your line rate, there is lots of work because they have a high turnover, management issues, they are currently training women in other countries to do MT work, don't know if they are currently offshoring. Evidently this is a sore subject and previous posts with this information has been deleted.
Any new info out there on Medware. I archived and everything is from 2004. nm
Thank you!
Saw ad for Millennium Business Services in Florida.. has anyone heard of them? Archived info is conf
nm
where they 35 comparable reports - or 35 short and 35 long reports? nm

Typing ER reports and radiologogy reports
are completely different with regards to pay. For typing regular reports, that is a very fine line rate. For typing radiology reports, it would be horrid.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs
,
Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!! 
ER Reports
Can you make a good living typing only ER reports with a national company? Do any companies hire you just for ER reports? Thanks.
Maybe that is why they only let you do a few reports a day but
nm
I believe they will get them to do op reports, in which

I luv Op reports

ER reports
Was there a posting on these boards recently about doing mainly ER reports? What was the name of the company? I cannot find it now. Thanks.
Are the reports
in the accounts worse than what is on the TH test when you apply?
I have had years of proofing horrid accounts. :)
My really great fear is that I won't be able to get my line count. I HAVE to get my line count. I will be leaving a job with awesome benefits, retirement, blah blah blah, but I want to come back home with my children.
Sigh. If only it were easy.

IME Reports
I need some opinions!! I may be typing some IMEs in the near future and am getting paid by the gross. Do you think that should also include the templates, or only what is actually typed??
IME reports
If I am getting paid by the gross line for these reports, do you think the line count should also include the templates? I have never done these before and some say it should, and yet that may seem unfair??
reports
I do radiology too, but I don't near anywhere close to 200 rpts per day. Is that all plain films minus the MRIs, CTs, etc.?
They allow you 10 reports a day, I believe.
train, which I think lasts 2 weeks. Not 100% sure if this is still the case, but that's what they were doing at one time. The recruiter is very nice and will answer questions like this one. If she doesn't know, then she'll get you the answers you need.
yes they can see reports at TT
Control S, quick find, highlight a job or jobs and click statistics.
OP REPORTS
Absolutely yes. When checking the Lanier dictation minutes, the same amount of minutes was almost double in line count as compared to H&Ps. The other reasons posted below also play a part. Otherwise, why would be have Voice Recognition anyway?
rad reports
$1.20 at some companies but the work is low so if you get a lot of work for $1.10, you will make more.
Op reports
Try TRS - Transcription Relief Services.
ER reports
I've never seen a single one! They're probably typed offshore since they're considered easier!
As an IC, 10 yrs exp. in all but OP reports
what would you say is a good wage for a 65 CPL? I was thinking 10 CPL, but then I've been offered two jobs now at 9 CPL. What do you think?
Reports.....
I also applied and got the same response, but I must point out that these are long IME's, 4-40 pages in length, so one report could take you a while to do until you know the full format and correct way of doing it. Stop bashing people and companies until you know the full story.
So if you have to fix the reports anyway, you still

ER reports
ERs are my first transcription love. I made a lot of money typing them and enjoyed the variety they offered. The doctors dictate the same review of systems and physical exam repeatedly, and that's where you learn quickly to become one with your macros! The reports are fast, unlike discharge summaries, for example, where there are frequent long pauses (i.e., a waste of your time) while the dictator lollygags and reads the entire chart while dictating. ER doctors are accustomed to working on the fly. If you can find an ER account, grab it! You will love it.
ER Reports
Does anyone know of any companies who have specific ER accounts? Thanks!
Those reports
are going to be awfully hard to read without spaces.
I also have my QA reports, all of which are 100%, would YOU like to see them?
nm
RAD reports
I totally agree. Back in 1996 it was $1.00
I average100-120 reports a day. nm

Do you mean the reports come up with OR or all work or what. Need to know what you mean.
