Contracting own clients
It's actually two units attached and working together: A Sony BM-890 microcassette dictator/transcriber and a DTI-800 phone interface. I bought the unit (years ago) for about $1,300.00. The top unit (BM-890) is where you put the tapes in and is like a regular Sony transcriber. (I transcribed the tapes on a separate transcriber, though). The unit gives the doctors the option of pausing and backing up to listen to their dictation and make changes if needed.
Contracting own clients
I agree - to make good money, you need to get your own accounts. My long-time cardiology group account just got EMR with VR, however, so I need to find a new account now. This one was really nice in that the doctors dictated over their phones to my Sony answering system, and then I would just e-mail the completed work back at the end of the day for the office to print it all out there; I never had to do any pickups of tapes or delivery of hard copies. Just wondering now, is this very unusual, or do others here have similar arrangements? Thanks.
Self contracting
I have been wanting to do this for a while. Can you tell me how you have gotten your previous contracts?

Hi there. when you talk about the following - when you return, you will have the backlog typed in xxx amount of days at xxx discounted charge what do you mean by discounted charge - the subcontractor who helped you?
I have also thought of contacting local IC also. Ihave found a few on an website. Can i ask you where else may be a good place to find them? My next computer will be a laptop also. NIce chatting with you! 
IC Contracting
I just signed on with a company for my first MT position (IC status). I will be receiving all of their software/programming next week. My question is, do most MTs abide by their security contract with the company as far as not letting anyone else get on their work computer? Is there a way for the company to tell when you log on and off your computer through some kind of network? We are looking for a new computer for my husband at the moment for his personal use and I was just wondering.
Indenpendent contracting ?
I am just curious. I was thinking about trying independent contract jobs, but I have never been one. One question that comes to mind at the moment is..do I need a business license to be one? I know there are several benefits to being one, but just never really had that experience. Any insight would be appreciated.
Fair contracting rate for a newbie..
Hi All:
I have a friend who is a medical transcriptionist. She gave me the name of a person locally who does hiring. I contacted the person tonight with my resume, and she asked me what days, hours, and how much I charge to do contract typing.
Since I have a year of experience, I have no clue what to even try to charge for something like that. Any suggestions?
Thanks a whole bunch,
Paulette
So you are subcontractor, not contracting with doctor direct.
If that's the case, then you need to ask the MTSO you work for if they can provide schedules for the doctors. They may not have them, either, but they could ask the docs for them. So it was their staff and not the doctor's staff that couldn't verify his schedule? That would be different advice then. Sorry - thought you were contracting directly with the doctor as your client. Sounds like you were hired through an MT service instead.
Maybe they get the work from the doctor that way, but the MTSO should try to organize and work it out with the doctor to see that it's uploaded promptly. Not all offices will cooperate in that respect so it's on the MTSO to remedy that, unfortunately. Some just send when they please without regard to the MTs' schedules, and sometimes you can talk until you're blue in the face but they still do it "their" way, on their terms. The MTSO could hold their ground and request the doc to send on a more regular basis, but it's pretty much out of your hands, I'm afraid.
As an IC, you can say "this is when I'll be available to work," and let the MTSO schedule accordingly. Or you can always find other IC work to supplement so you can at least work while you are waiting, or just find another gig altogether if it gets really bad.

Is anyone else having trouble with Yahoo mail this morning, I have 2 accounts and cannot get into either of them.
EMR on yahoo
Am I the only person who thinks Obama is absolutely ignorant for making all records electronic? If you go to yahoo and look up the time.com piece, EMR is NOT a smart thing to do. Honestly, is a computer going to fix it when the doctor dictates the wrong dosage of the drug, or during an op note if the doc dictates the wrong appendage, will it fix that? Obama thinks that it will improve the system. I say it is fine as is, and we wouldn't be needing to do this if SO many people weren't outsourcing OUR WORK to India. That sure as heck isn't helping the economy!! But neither are the doctors that dictate with their head in their rear.

I pay my taxes at the end of the year also. I take 30% of each of my paychecks and place it in a savings account each pay period. At the end of the year, what I owe comes out if needed and the rest stays in there.

Yahoo! No dinner tonight!
Kids visited friends and got fed. Hubby works the night shift and wasn't hungry. He said he'd make something for himself later. I made myself a sandwich.
Doesn't get any better than this!

I am thinking it is a yahoo ad. Google ads usually
are not that big but the one I am seeing right now says Ads by Yahoo. It just looks strange on an all US site.

I went to my Yahoo mailbox this morning--sm
with no difficulties whatsoever. I see they have revamped their whole website page though, perhaps you have to re-download it?? or maybe you are talking about IM.
My Yahoo IM is not working either...still waiting

How do I get Outlook Express to put up Yahoo
I would like to know what how to set up my Outlook Express to received email from my Yahoo email address so that I can download multiple attachments at once instead of clicking on each individual attachment. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Yahoo/Outlook Express
If I understand correctly, you have a Yahoo account and an Outlook Express account set up. The reason I am asking is I have Outlook Express, and it was suggested to me that I switch to Yahoo as there are some functions that I cannot do in Outlook Express. I have not switched over to Yahoo yet as I am not sure about the storage space, download/upload storage, etc. is on both to compare. If you have any further information that could help me in deciding, I hope you will share with me. TAA
Anyone else having trouble with Yahoo IM and Vista?

yahoo mail problems
Over the last month every once in a while I just don't receive an email that someone sends. Have used yahoo mail for years, never had this problem. Guess I'll switch to another mail program.
Yahoo is currently experiencing problems with (sm)
servers on both coasts. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this feature, as well as other, fixed ASAP.
Thank you for your patience while our experts are working on the fix.
I read thiis too on Yahoo.............

This job often calls for at least one year's experience in a hospital or clinical setting; some ads require transcription experience. Tools you will need for this job likely include high-speed Internet and Microsoft 2000 software. You should also be prepared to take a skills test. Medical Transcriptionist median salary per hour: $13.78.

Doesn't say anything about the necessity of having an MT training and MT certificate!
A dog walker gets $ 16.29 per hour.
Yahoo is a better search engine!
Google is not the only search engine on the planet and it is not the best either. Make yahoo your home page and use their "search assist." It's much better than Google and you will not have any problems whatsoever.
It behooves me to know why people are so stuck in the google mode? Make the change to Yahoo and never look back.
WOOPEE!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!! The doc SPELLED the patient's name!!!!!!!...
