But don't you now put RHIT on your resume since that's the current official title? sm

I earned my RRA, but in the time since I earned it the AHIMA has changed the title to RHIA, so that is what is on my resume.

Because the pay is better and the title looks much better on any resume for any job.

RHIT...anyone?!
Are there any RHIT's out there that could give me any imput. Is it better to go ahead and go for your RHIT then decide if you would like to get a specialization afterwards, such as MT, or CPC(coding), etc. What home based/online programs exist that offer RHIT. Anyone heard of Penn Foster?
RHIT
I'm an RHIT and my certification has definitely been a factor in boosting my income. I have had two positions that agreed to my higher requested starting salary, and one specifically told me they agreed because of my degree and certification. Coincidentally, both administrations subsequently raised the overall payscale for all of the transcriptionists to be equitable with my salary. It was a great boon for all concerned!
I have the RHIA (more than RHIT) and I don't get any extra! nm
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have held all the positions I mentioned without having an RHIT.
She was asking for ideas. I gave her some.
Maybe it was tough for you but it doesn't have to be for her. :)
to make it official, not living in sin, tax

Official policy puts it best . . .
from the 2002 AAMT Book of Style:
"Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities do not belong in a patient's record unless they are part of direct quotations that are essential to a report."
In 20+ years of transcribing, mostly psychiatry, with, as one might imagine, a lot of profanity, I've always just typed whatever the clinician quoted the patient as saying, and have never had a complaint.
Good luck,
CTT

United States: No official language...
End of story...
Sorry - I see you are an IC in the title My bad! NM
Ditto this. I'm the family's official "deviled egg queen" for every holiday.
I always make them the day before and Saran Wrap them into my special crystal egg platter, but any plastic or glass dish will do. How many days until Thanksgiving now? LOL

I would be proud of that title too!
Don't listen to them. You have a right to brag - carry on former bank manager.
your holding the title!
First of all, I am sorry for your loss.
Second, how can he even say anything is owed since you have the title in your hand?
Hope it all works out for the best.
What is your title? Never heard of that kind

Catchy newsletter title.
Any suggestions for a "catchy" MT newletter title?? Thanks!
oh, the title alone wasn't enough to report it?

Whoops! It's bad when typo is in the title! nm

Probably the same wimp company I'm with. My title is QA, but I'm not allowed to do my job!
Know what I mean??? Yuck...
Looks like integrity doesn't belong in their title either

Fellow is a highly respected title in the medical field tho--
not for medical transcriptionists!
Do you put "License xxxxx" on a SOAP note for signature title?
I am typing up a SOAP note template for a new PT. He gave me his credentials, plus his "number," which is his license number for his signature title. He did not say to put License in front of the number, but I think it looks funny without it. Has anyone ever done this before? Is it appropriate to put the word "License" before the number? He is away from the office, otherwise I would ask him myself.
Thank you!

English may not be the official language on the federal level, but it is the NATIONAL language. sm
From Wikipedia:
Although the United States has no official language at the federal level, English is the national language.
In 2003, about 215 million, or 82 percent of the population aged five years and older, spoke only English at home. Spanish, spoken by over 10 percent of the population at home, is the second most common language and the most widely taught foreign language.[139][140] Immigrants seeking naturalization must know English. Some Americans advocate making English the country's official language, as it is in at least twenty-eight states.[141] Both Hawaiian and English are official languages in Hawaii by state law.[142] Several insular territories also grant official recognition to their native languages, along with English: Samoan and Chamorro are recognized by Samoa and Guam, respectively; Carolinian and Chamorro are recognized by the Northern Mariana Islands; Spanish is an official language of Puerto Rico. While neither has an official language, New Mexico has laws providing for the use of both English and Spanish, as Louisiana does for English and French.[143]
P.S. Miami may be one of the largest cities, but it is still just one city located in one small state. There are 49 other states. Miami is just a small speck when you compare it to the rest of the United States.
U R confusing official definition of professional with "popular" definition...sm
the official definition is those jobs like physicians, PA's, NP's, law, etc. Not something you do for a long time or what your job is. The popular definition for profession is what you do. Same thing with vocation, a official definition would hold to calling, such as clergy or nuns or missionaries... popular would say what's your job. So depends if you are looking for the popular definitions vs. the official definitions, though I will say some very ignorant people posting on the topic...
Current says:
q.i.d. is fine
q.8 h. is preferred, for clarity and ease of reading the number.
Don't eliminate the periods, don't use dangerous abbreviations, and don't use illegal abbreviations such as q.a.m. because they are Latin and English mixed.
Does that help?
Yes put current job. If it is your first
job you will need to show the experience to get another job. You don't have the give another company any particulars about why you are looking for another position/more work. Most just want to know when can you start and the hours you can work.
Nothing will ever be more current than SM
the Monthly Prescribing Reference. Google it and the link comes up. It's updated as soon as a drug is FDA approved.
My current favorite....
revises every sentence at least 3 times without fail. My first runner up dictates on a cell phone, drops every other call, and spells out every other word in case I don't know how to spell anything with more than 6 letters.
any other current nyers on here - I went to the
state board out of curiousity and there are very few. Does New York have a shortage of transcriptionists???
Just curious - if there are NY'ers - where in NY do you live? 
What is your current screensaver?
Mine's a beautiful aquarium (XP Plus!) except I only have three fish - you have to pay for more and I just don't wanna. 
are you current with your dues?
'Nuff said.
Not really. Why don't you ask for a raise at your current
employer if you're happy there? How long have you been there?
Current Breitner MTs.
Are there are any CURRENT Breitner MTs out there? Would like to talk. Please reply. Thanks.
Poll: Age/Sex of current MTs
My theory is that the majority of MTs working today are in their 40s or 50s and are female.
Am I correct? We shall see....
RE: Poll: Age/Sex of current MTs
Divorced, age 52, male, long-time Transcriptionist (>15 years)
Not with current gas prices ...
I wouldn't. And you are talking about a total of 4 hours of driving per day, 20 hours per week, that you don't get paid for. You don't say where you live, but do you get snow, ice, etc. in the winter? That would be a nightmare.
It's good money, but personally I don't think it's worth it.
I have current QA contractors.
It would be cheaper still yet to give them a good raise and let the offshore MTs do the work, or so it looks on paper.
Just weighs heavy on the mind.
Current Listings
Does anyone use these boards anymore? The most current post I see is 3/22/07.
More yrs in than you & I get 8.5 w/current employer. Have gotten 9 cpl in
,
Probably so. And my current one. And past one, too.
They might as well - they don't seem to have anything more productive with the time they spend in their plush offices behind closed doors. Unless maybe it's napping.
With our current administration, just about anywhere
Except the middle east, of course. We shoulda' nuked it all off the map on 9/12/01.
Not me. I was actually intimidated by my current
company. They haven't laid down a lot of the rules in writing, or even verbally, but several other MTs have told me how it is. They are very strict and I got fussed out because I didn't respond to an IM immediately. I'm still on probation for another 2 weeks and I'm curious if I'm doing what they except of me (my QA scores are great so I know I'm doing quality work) and they have nothing to say to me, or they are waiting until probation is over and then will lay everything on the line.
I think maybe most companies seem strict at first because they want you to understand you can't have 24 hour TAT. Some companies allow a long TAT, most don't. I know a lot of MTs who work for spending money and aren't interested in FT work, yet they take FT positions and then don't work a required schedule.
I also think that if you produce a minimun line requirement, produce a good product, aren't constantly taking time off, etc. that the company will cut you some slack. Good reliable MTs are scarce these days.
Any current info on SS?
I read a lot of bad about SoftScript on here, but all of it was 2 or 3 years old. I'm wondering if anybody has any current information about the company they'd be willing to share. I've been talking to them about a job doing editing work and am curious to know if their reputation has improved at all. Thanks.
current pay scale
I am an IC with 30 years experience. I am currently making 12 cents a 65 character line with no benefits, no time off, no taxes taken out, which is nothing compared to what I used to make in the hospital with all benefits.
None of us make enough, nor are we appreciated for our speed, knowledge and hard work.
Good luck! I hope you get your raise. You deserve it.
Current screen saver
Mine is a black background with floating bananas...yes really, floating bananas. heehee
not at my current line rate nm
Axolotl? Any current employees?
Of course, I see mixed reviews on them. Just looking for a good company for full-time bennies.
Q&A, editing - what is current pay rate for this?
nm
Does your current company also have employees?
If so, no matter what, those people will get work first because of the benefits they receive as their total package. They want those people working first and foremost.
I have also been times without work, though not for weeks on end or anything. I used that time to clean, organize, run errands, that kind of thing. Sorry I cannot offer you anything else. It will hopefully pick up soon for you! :-)
