We do have our QA fill in names & addresses
All of our clients provide us names and addresses of referring physicians. Our QA maintains the lists, and we only ask that our MTs spell them phonetically. QA then corrects any mistakes.
As far as patient names, some doctors spell them for us and some do not. For those that don't, they get their reports back with their patient names spelled phonetically, and it's up to them to correct any mistakes.
I agree. Can't believe that no one else isn't looking up addresses, resident's names, new m

PHONE NUMBERS
You should be able to find the numbers at medquist.com or QNET, or send an email to medquistbenefits@medquist.com they are usally good about getting back to you.
You can get 2, 3, or more phone numbers
through TWC. When they installed my phone they asked if I wanted more than one number.
...phone numbers, other branch locations, etc. nm

my local phone book used to have several - now Indian names
all sold out. Makes me wonder about going back to IC again on my own - hitting the pavement - finding I'm sure enough dissatisfied customers - but oh the headaches of being by myself.
Maybe you could just put your past supervisor's names with the companies phone number?
I know exactly what you mean. It's hard when you work at home and don't really work closely with anybody or with anybody other than your immediate supervisor and QA people who actually get to see your work.
Have you ever worked outside the home? Maybe you could put previous coworkers or supervisors. If you don't have a number, just put the company's number on there.
Good luck and God bless!
Changing Excel 2003 Addresses Into Word 2003 Addresses
Hello !
I have a large amount of addresses listed on an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. I need these addresses for Word 2003 letters. I end up copying the address from Excel and pasting it into Word, but as you can imagine, the pasted address is in a straight line and I end up having to type the address so it displays correctly for a letter. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to change the Excel address format to a Word letter address format? Thank you for your help.
If they pay by character, they pay for numbers. Numbers are characters, silly.

As far as addresses...
Depending on the state you can get a medical address book, which is a lot easier. Lists all docs, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. in alph. order.
I could do better (only 3 years exp. here) if I did not have to look up addresses - sm
I have good days where I average 200 lph sure, but a lot of the accounts I do require me to look up the doctor, so I have to go to AMA, or the hospitals directory on-line, etc. That really eats time. I limit it to 5 minutes generally then move on. I am also guilty of not being totally focused so that does not help as well. My goal this year (once the kids are back in school, 12 more days) is to buckle down and get serious. My goal is $100 a day which I know I can do and still have a fair amount of free time (afternoons off basically). But is it nice to hear of those who do well. Thanks.
should say email addresses (nm)

sorting addresses
I usually use MSWord and tables, and sort by fields, but you can do the same in Excel also. Hope this helps.
Do you have addresses? I would send them a
this in court. Others have done this and it works well.
letters/addresses
Can someone tell my how to format a letter so that the Dr.s address in the letter will automatically show up in the envelope box without having to add the envelope to the document?

When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.

I have to be careful with addresses, get "vagina" when I put in "VA" - sm
have to keep on my toes....even if I delete it smartype will put in some other va....word, so I just try to be extra careful when doing addresses. Kind of funny though.
The e-mail addresses are invalid a lot of the time and
they don't usually use the same e-mail address twice. They put all that jibberish in there so you can't pick out a word or phrase to put in your filter that will block them out.
LOL ----> you. Just now they did say he looked up addresses on maps on some of the sites.
saving his family from his short-comings. hmmm
So, now we have him either
----killing them and going to see porn before offing himself
----setting up porn sites, not feeling good about himself, killing them, and can't kill self - hops plane and goes home to mommy.
----wow, this boggles the mind.
But then I'm back to why leave the computer - even if you were going to do suicide but chicken out? why why why? like, why go to England if you are guilty and *suicidal* anyway? why not just pick up phone and say you did something?
I just can't make the pieces fit.

You're very lucky and obviously aren't looking up addresses or having to relisten to slop over

HIPAA only addresses PHI (protected health information) would is defined as anything that SM
specifically identifies the patient, i.e. name, MRN, SSN, account numbers, etc. As long as all identifying information is removed from a report, it poses no HIPAA violation to keep it on file. Furthermore, as an employee of the hospital in the medical transcription department and charged with peforming QA, I have legitimate reasons to access a patient's chart. HIPAA says so.
Go back and read your HIPAA laws again.
Anyone know how I can take addresses from a Word document and transfer them to mailing labels?
I have several hundred typed out, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it into a mailing list. I have downloaded Avrey Wizard, but when I try to do it, it asks me about field delimiters and no matter what I pick it doesn't work. Maybe there is a simpler way??
Thanks!
C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 
I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM
Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone? Is there a problem with my C-phone? At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company. They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.
It's driving me batty!
C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone. Can someone help me understand exactly how this works? Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get. I guess I should contact my phone company. At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone
through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?
We only have one phone line. I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones. I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone. I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report.
I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie.
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
Numbers
I've been doing this for 20 years and never saw it done that way. It's grade 3/6. You are correct.
My numbers came from the US
O'Reilly get his stats?
800 numbers
I was told by the company I worked for that 800 numbers were very expensive. They let us use them for awhile, and then they cancelled them. All the unlimited plans I checked on said up front that medical transcription would not be allowed. I was afraid to just try anyway.
Numbers
I still spell out numbers 1-9 as ex, There are three sutures .... - as a rule of thumb and know what the big bad BOS says but I think this is safer than just pulling one little ole' nunber there by itself and spelling out is easier understood with no mistakes Untill my compnay tells me no I will continue to do this. I worry more about how it is going to be read back (missreading an 8 for a 6 or even a 6 for a 5 according to the font on the printer
The numbers....
 Seeing Bush's numbers - ratings - dip down to the teens......That must be what it takes to get this country out of the shower - pryed from the sofa glued to American Idol and the likes, and do something about this lunatic we have for president....
The last numbers I saw
I believe I saw a report about a year ago about this. Early projections had predicted the savings would be 70%, but the reality is more like 17%, according to that report. It talked about all the people that have to edit the reports before they are client ready, so the work can't be as fast as they originally forcasted either, right? So what if it's done in the middle of the night if 4 people have to comb through each report before it's ready to go to client. I'm with you. A lot of time and effort has been invested in this "great idea," and I'm sure they think it's going to get better. But come on, are these edits all being sent back to the transcriptionists so they can even learn from their mistakes?
Numbers...
30,000 to 40,000. Sometimes people misread hyphens in between numbers or around numbers when reading a document, so I always put "to."
numbers
Ditto Janet. It changed a few years back and took me forever to get my fingers moving to that top row on the keyboard! Some clients even want you to start the sentence with a number if dictated (10-year-old female). I find that very hard to do!
And run their numbers together
