Fill in the patient data on a no-report and send it through. Watch as Bayscribe tells you the line count for the report was 0. The top ID info is not paid. Not a big deal to me, but people should be aware.

If you have horrible platform, do not get paid for headers, footers, template data, etc.,
even though it might take 3 or 4 minutes or longer to edit that stuff, you are going to take a big pay cut. This program was designed by idiots.
Be patient...they always get
Well, this too has happened at my place of employment. This one girl would run her mouth about how great she was and how she was the best and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!! Well, she was fired yesterday! She was doing things worse than cherry picking...gossiping. She lived off of it. One by one, all the women in the office realized how she was and one by one she has been left out in the cold by us all. She started missing work...having every excuse in the book from her poor old sick grandmother to her poor sick daughter to her poor sick self....which of course she has ulcers (so she says) probably from all the lies and deceipt. She thought her job was SO secure but even the "best" finally get found out. Now this place of employment will hopefully turn into a nice environment to work as she kept it upset all the time. So, my message is to be patient and eventually they all figure it out. Just do the best job you can do with what you got! Happy typing!
I think you just need to be patient,
I talked to her yesterday after waiting over a week and she is just overwhelmed trying to get back to people, she was very nice.
I'd be a bit more patient.
I had about a 24 hour lag between emailing and my offer. I think that most companies get swamped with resumes every time they post here and it just takes time to get through it all.
Be patient
Don't worry. You will hear back from them within 5 days. That's about how long it took for me to hear back from them. From what I've heard from others it's been about the same for them. Good luck.
Please be patient. SM
When mergers and other events occur in this industry and between companies, it is natural for those who are impacted to want to discuss.
If you have something you want to ask about or discuss, just post about it. You need to also keep in mind that everyone is not sitting here 24/7 waiting to respond to posts. Give it a little time.
It is NOT too difficult to read down through the page and read the different posts that are about MDI/Transcend versus other topics.
Thanks.
I would also ask about looking patient's names up and such.

I don't mind..I'm patient (nm)

Be Patient...They are swamped...
It was almost 2 weeks before I heard from them. You might drop them a quick phone call just to let them know you are interested. E-mail me if you want more.
She said no patient files were sent IM

MDI is definitely worth a try. However you must be patient
and understand right away you are restricted to 5 reports a day or 20 minutes of spoken word. This goes on for 2 weeks or so, until you are ready to be let go onto full contract typing. That is the test. If you make it and you want to stay it is worth it. However, you must want to be a contractor and willing to go with the flow of workload and as the work comes and goes. Personally, I think it is fine for a back-up or part time job. Have never not had my part-time lines. Pay is always on time. So if you want to be patient, and understand the process of hiring you will be okay for part-time for sure. Good luck!
Not giving a patient's name
is a HIPAA violation. Report her to your supervisor.
Ummm...she said that the patient himself...
asked her to go over the records. I do believe that fact that the patient himself makes the request would be the required consent.
...better yet - direct to the patient.

now, isn't that swell? For the patient, I mean..nm

Data Key, MD, anyone know anything
about this company? Benefits, pay, anything?
Anyone know anything about Data Key
in Maryland? Pay, benefits, QA?? Line count requirement?
Data-Med - I'd like to know too
I have an extensive work history in doing insurance transcription (I just lost my long time job to digital, I was doing their tapes). I checked out their website and it looks great. I sent my resume yesterday, and I'm waiting to hear back.
Which Data-Med?
Yeah, I googled them, too. But there are actually two Data-Meds: One in the Phillipines and one in the US. Of course, I know they most likely are the ones in the US. But why couldn't she even post a correct link to her web site?
Data-Med in the U.S.
It was for the insurance transcription position. If I hear anything I'll let the board know. Not sure about the link to the Website, I had never thought of that. I just thought it was MTStars related.
No it is not Data-Med and not in the US
The one with the hyphen is in the philippines.

I just have to fill in patient's name and everything else is automated and
even filling in the patient's name is made easy, I just type it and enter and it goes where it needs to do and then I type. The work is batched so I just keep typing until I have 10 -12 pages and then send, again all automated and then start another batch.
I worked for YOG for a short time years ago and they had so many demographics it took at least 5 minutes to fill them in, had to constantly look up stuff on the lists to find correct info and never got the same doctors twice to be able to learn doctor's information so you didn't have to keep looking it up.
My server has never been down, except during hurricanes last year, so no down time. A couple of times the hospital's server has been down and I've been able to get my lines, though had to take a break during my regular shift and work a little longer in the evening. Never went a day with NO work. System never locks up.
Furthermore...when a doc dictates 56-year-old patient...
and we transcribe "a 56-year-old patient," or "this is a 56-year-old patient," what in the blue blazes difference does it make in patient care?!? This is just an instance of a QA person getting their sense of purpose by jumping on our tails. Truth be known, if we transcribe verbatim, they would get a sentence beginning with a number, "56." So, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't, thanks to our brothers and sisters in QA (et tu, Brute?). To cite yet another example, inter and intra all sound like "inner." 
Please be patient. We have received over 100 replies sm
HR will hopefully respond soon.
also from India-" The patient saw a demontologist."

most doctors have no idea, how would the patient ever know?...sm
patient asks doctor, who does your transcriptions. Doctor replies company so-and-so on 12th street in Anywhere, Alabama. Patient checks transcription companies website, seems fine. We have MTs working for companies who they are not even aware are also employing fellow MTs from India. How in the world will a patient ever really know their records are leaving the country. It's up to the government to pass a law against outsourcing patient medical records out of hte country. If such a law woud pass, the companies should be investigated and slapped with huge financial fines or shut down. Nothing else will ever stop this.
And this somehow DOES NOT compromise patient care???
Ridiculous. Many lawsuits brewing on the horizon with VR, especially with the change in the administration and the emphasis on health care.
ALL DATA RESOURCES,
Anybody know anything about this group? Good, bad, ugly?
TIA!
It's not Datamed...it's Data-Med, and yes it is U.S.
Data-Med Transcription Inc
Anyone work for them? Any feedback would be great.
TIA
Data-Med transcription sm
Hasanyone ever worked for Data-Med transcription?
I worked for a Data Med
company out of Indiana, a lady named Marcia for a very, very short period of time about 2 months ago. I typed a few reports for her and was amazed with her response. She was looking for someone to do a perfect job the first time and I was told I was basically not good enough for the job. I am relatively new to transcription, 3 1/2 years, but have a very good track record for accuracy and grammer, etc. The report she sent back to me actually had very minor errors, mostly commas which she did not want in there. You may have a different experience - it did sound very flexible I remember, but was not the job for me.
Be patient and you will see over time your line counts will (sm)
pick up. You are doing much different work now than you were with your PT clinic account. In the long run your efforts will pay off. Just be sure that the line counting program they are using is accurate and there are no hidden surprises. I don't like the idea that you don't get paid for header information. That is crazy.
then by all means I will lose my bonus because the doc does not know the sex of his patient??
NOT!
so no platform, no patient info screen, etc....
I really like working for companies that have a platform. It seems to be faster for me. I type for a company with no platform and I have to download FTP files. It seems to slow me down.
I have been trying to be patient but have been working on my secondary account so much lately, I am
starting to think it's my primary. Been in the business a long time and understand slow times, but this has been a chronic problem for many months, so I understand poster's point of view. Stick it out if you can, if not, there are lots of other companies out there, but remember, the grass is always greener on the other side and you may be sorry you jumped ship. Hopefully you can find somewhere that will make you happy and feel appreciated.
I would say you've been patient long enough - move on.

I agree, be patient - make sure you are using your expander - sm
to its fullest extent. I have had ShortHand for 2 years, and was not using nearly as many Expanders as I should have been. I found some lists on-line and now my lph is much higher.
Takes a lot of patient to correct same mistakes for

I accidently ordered an IVP for a hospital patient! sm
When I was 18, I was a unit coordinator on TCU (of all floors), and was ordering lab tests. All tests were 4 digits. I was off by 1 digit and instead of ordering a 24 hour creatinine clearance, I ordered someone an IVP! Had they been allergic to the contrast, they seriously could have died! I didn't get half the wrath it sounds like your pharmacist is gonna get! I did however, get written up. Thank God, nothing happened! I realize you are being inconvenienced, but can you honestly say you are perfect 100% of the time, even on the job? Of course not!
goodness that IS scary, patient records sm
but also the allegations also reflect on your services as an MT and that is BIG, not sure how long been there. It would be important to clear your name in writing. Hopefully you kept the folder as records of truth. So this was a private client you were working for?? as opposed to a national MT company huh
I hope I'm a patient whose care ends up
being compromised by all this 'robot transcription' cr@p. Then I'll find me a good lawyer, and sue, sue, sue my way to a happy and wealthy retirement.
LOOK OUT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS - READY OR NOT, HERE I (AND THOUSANDS LIKE ME)COME!
Do you literally mean per report/patient or by the page? sm
I get 2.50 a page. It's not the greatest pay, but I have a courier that drives 30 miles to my house everyday to bring me a tape and no one can take it from me. I have one American doctor that I have created all kinds of Expanders for, so I can fly through his work pretty quickly. What good is it if you are being paid 20 cpl if there is no work, which is happening everywhere! I haven't done the math, but even if I'm only making 7 cpl, it's there everyday and I can count on it.

data entry companies
Wondering if anyone knows of some data entry positions and if so where can I go to find work from home.
STP Medical Data Services
of Illinois has job posting and unable to find any information here or on web on them - anyone worked for them or have any experience with them?
STP Medical Data Services
Does anybody have any information on this company? I can't find anything on them anywhere. Thanks!
ask about platform and no prefilled data
You need to look up schedules, find MRN, name, type all info into data fields. My supervisor was not good. My QA was good. They pay on time and training is decent. I did not stay long because of all the pre-work invovled before actually transcribing, and then they were all short notes, was not worth the extra CPL.
Data Med Northwest Indiana
Anyone familiar with this transcription service? They pay by the minute, is this good or bad. I have never been paid by the minute.
