Does anyone know if they have clinic work? TIA!
AccuSTAT in Wisconsin. Great company, IC only. nm

Don't know specifics about account.
The setup and all that is exactly what I am clueless about. I know nothing about what type of service physician would want yet, but he mentioned to my husband that he might be interested in getting me to do work for him or may try to get me on at hospital he primarily works in. He asked my husband what I charged and my husband told him he wasn't sure. The physician automatically said "15 to 20 cents a line". That is more than I am making now and is very tempting.
Our account specifics say
We have recently been told to type the patient's name if doctor dictates it in the report. I also thought that was against HIPPA.
I could see if she posted account specifics, etc., BUT
I definitely don't see the big deal about saying what hospital you will type on. Some people are way too sensitive and look for something to complain about, but that's just my personal opinion.
When account specifics does not cover
I usually refer to BOS and it states to add the year if not stated - if you are sure of the year. Also - interestingly enough - it says if you are doing long dictation and doc says labs done on April 4, 2006 are.........and then says additonal labs 4/5.... okay to used slashed date - this is on page 121 of BOS edition 2 if you are interested. That being said don't think you would be WRONG to leave off the year if it is verbatim account :))
do you follow an Account Specifics?
nm
I would read the specifics on that account and do it that way. sm
Sometimes QA gets things backwards, doesn't understand the rules, etc. Make sure you're doing it the way the account wants and ignore incorrect feedback.
If your account specifics don't address it, get a definitive answer from the account manager.
Once you get that definitive answer, it might be wise to have the account manager inform QA of the correct format.
It also depends on your account specifics too...
if it is verbatim, you type what they say...
I think that would just be preferential or maybe account specifics for the doc. sm
I think you are asking whether the "before" or "after" makes a difference. Not that I know of at all, I think it is all preferential in the way they are dictating unless his clinic/hospital requests it that way. The code is the code and is used for billing, makes no difference where in the diagnoses it is other than in order like primary diagnosis, secondary diagnosis, etc. Makes is so much easier on the coders when they give codes rather than second guessing them as some can be very confusing.
whatever the account specifics are, is how you to have type it...
regardless of whether or not you agree with it...just how some companies/accounts are...
and it is our responsibility to know the account specifics...
nm
Your account specifics or the client should tell you which they prefer....
otherwise, I would use 2 spaces as that is the way it is normally done. I believe the AAMT recently has stated that only 1 space should be used, but I don't put a lot of stock in their rules. I go by what my client wants and account specifics.
Take the money from your own bank account
I agree..The things *she* donates are from manufacturers that get a plug on her show or from the people who watch her show and donate to her Angel Network. Even when she donated cars, the people who got them had to pay the tax and registration on the cars, which came to a few thousand dollars each. These people could not even afford to buy new cars and they are gonna come up with a few thousand for taxes, etc.? Oprah is out of touch with the real world. I think Stedman Graham said it best on one of her shows, he told Oprah she was not nice. She seemed shocked and asked well, who is nice and he said Gayle King, her best friend. Oprah is pompous and acts like she thinks she is smarter and better than others..She isnt in my book. Come on, Oprah, how much of your billions are you gonna spend in your life time? Dont take the money from the public who watch your show..take it from your own bank account.
My account specifics require it typed out, so I can't really comment
I have been on accounts that did not require it. Unfortunately, you have to follow account specifics. I had all abbreviations in my Expander to type the full word or phrase because the account I worked on previously did not allow ANY abbreviations anywhere in the report. Needless to say, anytime you switch accounts, you likely have to adjust your expanders.
My account specifics state 2 spaces after a period, but when I get ASR..
it spits the report out with only 1 space after each period. I understand they are paying me less by making that minor adjustment, but is it worth my time to go put the extra space in. I would get paid for the spaces then. This will take extra time, obviously, but wondering if I would get thru the report quicker and make more money in the long run? Any suggestions?
in your bank account by direct deposit OR
just showing up in ipay? Mine says assistance with verification available at ________ . . . . THIS IS NOT A CHECK -- void non-negotiable.
Is the money in your bank today 09/02/2005?
But my account specifics wants 2 spaces which takes precedence over BOS doesn't it? sm
So when I type on that account I put 2 spaces, and when I do ASR there is only 1. Maybe I am too detailed oriented, and I have to let the small things go. Been doing this 30 years, so I am stuck in my ways, I guess.
Submit invoice; get check. Won't give bank account
.
lines produced also depends on type of account, doctors, specifics, platforms.

The position i have is supervisory..i am QA/account management.
I was an MT for 10 years prior to taking the position. I plan on going to school for advertisement and/or business management. Still in the thinking process.
Be wary of Accustat as well..that is if it is Accustat carolinas.

Any good ideas where to look. Job Bank and Resume bank not working.
I think they must be waiting for a tech for repairs.

This company doesn't pay their MTs properly. Work at your own risk. See if they pay.

Amphion in Wisconsin
Has anyone else got any feedback about Amphion out of Wisconsin? I was given this name by someone in response to my post and they spoke highly of this company. I just wondered what others have heard. Any info would be appreciated.
Amphion in Wisconsin
Thanks for getting back to me. Below is my "wish list." I have 15 years of experience in transcription and want to find a company that can offer:
1) Work weekdays from about 4 AM to 12 noon (but not assigned to a specific shift).
2) No mandatory weekends but can "plug in" on weekends and nights to make extra and do not have to get special permission.
3) Compensation by the page rather than the line if possible.
4) Assigned to one or two accounts that do not run out of work.
5) Accounts where doctors have normals (and getting paid for the normals).
6) Can use ShortHand word expander.
7) Have Microsoft Word - just a preference since I've used it before
8) Have done all specialties over the years but love oncology.
9) Prefer consults, discharges, H&Ps, etc.
10) Company provides hardware and software.
11) Paid benefits: Vacation (I get 10 days now), sick, holidays, 401K (matching would be wonderful), health insurance, et.
Obviously, this is a wish list and I can't imaging being able to find a company that can offer me all of the above, but these are the things that are of importance to me. I currently work for a service and do hospital oncology which I love, but am looking to make a change to a different service. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks for your reply. A few more questions if you have the time:
1. Did you have to go to their headquarters to train when you started or can someone who works from home be trained at home?
2. If you have to input patient name, medical record number, etc. for each report do you find it very time consuming and slows down your productivity?
3. How do you feel about the way you're treated routinely?
4. Are you happy with their compensation (payment per line, benefits, etc.)?
5. When you want to work overtime (over your 40 hour week) are you generally allowed to do so?
6. They require 12,000 lines minimum per pay period to be full time with benefits. Do you find it difficult to meet that requirement with the accounts that you have?
7. Do you like working on the Extent platform? I'm used to Microsoft Word and do not know how they compare.
8. Is their dictation usually clear?
9. Do a lot of the doctors have "normals" you can put in and be compensated for?
Thanks in advance for your time. Right now I can't think of anything else but if I do can I contact you again with questions?
Was this national in Wisconsin?
Just curious - I remember taking a radio button skills test and having to TX 4 files, and I passed, but decidend to go with another service. If you did indeed not pass the skill set (but you don't REALLY know that you failed - just what they are telling you) - I would suggest brushing up with "Medical Terminology," by Davi Ellen Chabner and getting a Taber's Cyclopedic Dictionary (one that the nurses use). Of course, I'm probably dating myself and there are better reference materials out there now - but those are what I used in college when I "almost" became a nurse.
I work for a company out of Wisconsin
I actually work for a company based out of Wisconsin. Are you happy with your benefits with Humana One.

accustat
I have never heard of Cort Medical but I have been with AccuStat for 6 monhs now and I love it. The freedom they give is great and the pay is always on time. Tough choice. I would do both!!
AccuStat MT
AccuStat is indeed a great company....I have a LOT of people that will agree believe me...we have all been with them for a month to many years and we all love the company...maybe you were one of the fired ones..all the fired MTs write bad things...
ACCUSTAT EMR
Does anyone have info on this company (South Carolina).
Accustat
This company didn't pay me as well. I guess they pay a lot of MTs well yet miss payments on a lot of other MTs. I got another friend that they didn't pay as well.
Still with Accustat EMR?
Are you still with Accustat EMR? I am contemplating IC position with them.
I like Accustat Carolinas but some do not
Not everyone fits everywhere, I'm treated just fine,,, In my opinion they have different accounts and I think it depends what they put you on... I love my account
AccuStat is awesome!!
They not only have great accounts but they care about their MTs. I love them and I think you are crazy to go anywhere else!!!
Accustat LLC does anyone work for them
 Does anyone know if the pay if 1/2 each pay check of your total lines?
AccuStat has accounts that use this!
nm
accustat emr (carolina)
they don't pay properly. aside from the cheap pay. you might just waste your time and money.
Accustat has been good to me
Another MT called me and told me that people were talking bad about Accustat. I am aware of MANY MTs that are very happy with this company. Good work equals good pay, on time, every time!! I recommend them to anyone!!
Soft Script and Accustat
I am busting my hump trying to learn SS (I am a newbie with some experience but under a year) and I also am an IC for Accustat, now I have to really work for hours on end to try to get a line count for SS and on my Accustat its a nice account where I can have a line count with normal speed and hardly any ESL's
So basically here is my problem should I keep working for SS ( i have had no problems with pay, of course I don't make much of a line count) or should I just do my Accustat account and quit SS
Did I forget to mention I also have a day job....lol (My hope is to just MT and make some money someday)
SS takes out taxes and IC does not so I going to just go with SS but reading all of these posts makes me think just do my IC job for awhile and stop working three jobs busting my but
Transcript US, Spheris, AccuStat
