Are you hospital or clinic?

hospital/clinic?
Is it one hospital? 30 doctors? Can you tell me the hospital/clinic name?
I also lost hospital job and have tons of clinic work
Hospitals can afford the software, clinics cannot.... It will be a long time before any of these clinics can afford the software especially when the health insurance providers refuse to reimburse for services rendered like they should... When I say clinic, I mean private practice....
Used to be 7.4-7.7 cpl for clinic, 8 cpl for hospital w/1 weekend shift, 10 if U worked entire

Curious, can you make more money working for a hospital rather than a clinic?
I've never really did acute care and curious?
Anyone happier working for a national versus local clinic or hospital? SM
I'm with a national but from time to time, openings come up with areas places. None are in my own town, but would be 30 to 45 minutes away from home. In the case of at least one of these places, you are required to work in-house just to get used to their system, which I understand, but they say it usually takes a year before being set free at home. Now I can understand that if you are a brand new MT, but as far as just getting used to how they do things, that seems excessive. If you meet the criteria sooner, you can go sooner. It worried me about the length of time. That would put me in a bind with little kids and being away from home on certain days after they got off the school bus.
On the flip side, they pay hourly so I might like that, rather than make next to nothing on some days where the dictators are horrible on my current account. On the other hand, on a good day the lines are worthwhile and I'd come out ahead by LPH rather than hourly rate.
So many things to think about...oh, and another biggie...with this local place I'd get health insurance free for myself (not the family, but I have the kids covered on a plan I'm already paying for myself, along with me on the plan, which I could then drop myself from).
Anybody worked both scenarios and decided the national really was better? I actually interviewed here a year ago but didn't have to decide because they offered it to somebody in-house so I never got an offer. I have 3 years of experience but I still worry I would take forever to meet the criteria to work from home. I guess there are a few that have been there over a year and haven't met it. I don't want that to be me.
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

Two are hospitals, one is a clinic. The biggest one is a clinic that only does sm
oncology. We cannot post account names here and do not give out that information until confidentiality forms are signed.
I can tell you that a very, very large oncology hospital will be starting on March 1st that will need 30+ transcriptionists to run smooth.
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

First for hospital, then outsourced still on same hospital work
and believe it or not, the hospital was so much easier. Had worked at the hospital for 11 years before they outsourced and then worked another 3+ years for the company they outsourced to. What a difference! The company had so many rules and regulations you could hardly keep up with them all, thousands of them, on the same account, mind you. The higher ups would not leave you alone, constant IMs about any and all. I have gotten to the age where I do not need all that and walked the other week. Have scheduled testing with another hospital for this month. Hope I make the cut, love the hospital work 1000 times more than a company.
9 cpl, clinic, 3 yrs exp.
I am getting some clinic but...
I don't want to ask for just clinic because I've always been told I'll have a job longer in this industry if I can do acute care. I'm thinking it's probably in my best interest right now to stick with acute care.
Clinic
That sounds perfect. Is that company hiring? I have over 10 years of experience. Thanks!
Are they mostly clinic or ER?

Do you do clinic or ? nm

Clinic
I have done the clinic account from day one, as i did not have access to a serial port, and the other account they were hiring for at the time was on escription, which requires a serial pedal. The Clinic account is on ExText. I have seen a lot of people complain about ExText, but I have had no problems with it, although this may be because I spent the bulk of my career just working directly in word
If you have clinic-only exp, it may be SM
more difficult for you, since very few services will employ someone for only clinic work and you may have to take on acute care, which will be a learning curve.
I think the biggest difference you would see money-wise is if you are getting your benefits from your current job, there is going to be a big shock when you see how much you will have to contribute to your insurance. PTO/vacation time is much less working from home also.
I don't do clinic, so I can't tell you. nm
clinic mt
I was just hired at 9 cpl for clinic work, 10 years of experience. Very happy
What about OPs in clinic?
I have 4 years of experience working in-house for a local hospital (quit within the last 1-1/2 years). I worked on all work types, discharge, OP, H&P, consults, ER, and clinic. I just have to point out that the clinic work I am doing right now has just as much OP terminology as OPs do themselves. Most of my clinic dictators decide they need to repeat the entire op report in their clinic note, especially the cardiologists.
So to those of you stating that there is a huge difference between the 2, that might be the case for some, but definitely not for all.
clinic
Anyone worked for Bill Baker?
Are you clinic or Radiology?

Clinic work
Amphion has both clinic work and acute care. They are wonderful to work for, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Hello, I am looking for a PT clinic position (sm)
Either IC or statutory or even PT employee - I'm not a huge producer - I only need like 600 lines a day. Prefer oncology and flexiblity and all over the net. Hopefully, decent pay range 8-10 cpl. Anybody know of a good place? I've checked the job boards but word of mouth is usually a better way I've found in the past. Thanks!
I am FT clinic if that helps! We need a few more
FT MTs on the account I am on due to them adding 15 docs to us.
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.
QT & EFD do; QT is IC only; not sure about EFD, but was offer 0.07 for clinic. nm

I went from clinic to acute
I worked for about 10 years as an IC for clinc work, then lost my account (like you). I got a job in house at my local hospital and also applied with a national for PT work at home with a teaching hospital. Things were slow going at first, having to look a lot of things up, etc. I left the in house job after a couple years to be at home full time again. Being in house helped a lot because of having the other girls to help and I also learned the ins and outs of HIM dept. Poster below is correct about teaching hospitals being difficult. But if you are going to learn acute, you have to do them. I find the work very interesting. I now work at home as a full time employee for a teaching hospital and couldn't be happier.
See what companies will test you for acute care even though you don't have experience. I passed my test by a national. The test took me a while, looking things up, etc, but it was worth it. Just remember things will be slow for a while. I only did about 150 lines an hour in the beginning (now I am at 300+).
Don't think she does a vet clinic, must be a mixup

Will be on multispecialty clinic...
having never done radiology, but years of clinic work! Will be working on c-phone which is also something new for me. learning learning learning! 
acute/clinic
clinic is not like ER, pays less than acute, you may have a few ESL in any clinic company, and is different from acute in that you have all different specialties who have different word lists, from ENT to dermatology to pediatrics, etc., and once you learn them, make macros or normals, you can make more LPH.
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
clinic for Spheris
pays 6.5; on the low side. I was on the same account, large multispeciality clinic with few ESL, for 4 years. They pay on time, my supervisor and QA were good. They have incentives. They do offshore. Their insurance is not good.
DRC has clinic work. nm

Looking for clinic transcription
Can anyone refer me to any good companies that strictly does clinic transcription? I have been out of the transcription field for about 4 years now, but I am looking to get back into it. I have 2+ years of experience transcribing for a pain management practice.
Thanks.. 
yes for multispecialty clinic
I am not sure if they have filled all the acute care positions but they have a new account starting for multispecialty.
I take it you still work for them? Are you on clinic or
xx
It is an oncology clinic. Cannot say the name. The other two are
hospitals.
I don't do clinic, but it is very easy
to make money with clinic dictation. You usually have a limited number of dictators and can make lots of macros/normals and really produce a ton of lines.
Clinic or acute?
Do any of you happen to work on the clinic side? Just wondering. Thanks.
Does TTS have clinic work in the a.m.
Trying to get that instead of evenings. Thanks.
they have mostly acute but some clinic

If you are looking for clinic, there is plenty of it. nm

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.
clinic or acute
The ad says that they are looking for acute cardiology. I am thinking this is a hospital account. I could be wrong. It does not specifically state clinic though.
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.
There certainly is a BIG difference bet. clinic vs AC...sm
The pay is much, much lower for clinic as the fund of knowledge is usually lower for a clinic position. Check any job out on any job board - you will see the difference. Of course, there are exceptions such as Mayo Clinic, which would then be more specific and would require a broader base of knowledge. Generally, however, that is not the norm.
You must not have much experience with clinic
There is no difference in the terminology. I have transcribed many clinic notes that delve into a lot of terminology. I'm not imagining things, okay? I know that clinic notes can be just an intense as an acute care report. It's okay though if you don't believe me. After 20 years, I think I know what I've transcribed over the years, and I most certainly have transcribed instrument names, meds, procedure names, etc. in a clinic note.
