No it isnt your job.
Not unless they are paying you extra.
Not at my house it isnt!

Obviously this isnt DQS because you cant get in without a password. You must be on C phone yet. On
DQS no way to document what they are up to because you cant get into anyone elses number.
That isnt what happened when I called. Had to buy

insurance isnt good
If you want insurance, they have a $2500 deductible. They pay 500 of it they say. Unreal.

You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099.
If the office staff are rude then all that just isnt worth it!

I've got my BP pills, but that is just what the poster is talking about isnt it?
I hope that this isnt a negative for this new pay plan that they have ASR and transcription all the
same now. I hope not anyway. I keep thinking maybe they are going to lower the base for everyone.
Join the crowd. No it isnt just you. Is that what they tell you. That seems to be MQ favorite line
that they tell their robots to tell us. Its just you. Bull. You aint alone my dear. Just cant figure where the lines went.
Isnt there a transcription paper/magazine that comes out monthly??
I remember years ago when I was working at a transcription agency that there was a monthly subscription of a magazine/newspaper-type that came out monthly that I read. It was always sitting around. I cant remember the name of it. Can anyone tell me the name of this?? And do they still publish it monthly? Thanks!
If contact isnt avail. at this time, will support be?

My sis-in-law did not do well enough on the final

My final thoughts
Wow, not only do you need a new sense of humor, new come backs, new bifocals, you also need a new brain. You make absolutely NO SENSE in what you said. You are saying that I AM IMMATURE because I am arguing back.......who am I arguing with......YOU!!!!!! You keep responding, so what the heck are you saying? OMG - It amazes me that we have people roaming around out there without a brain - UNBELIEVABLE!!!! GOOD NIGHT - ADIOS AMIOGOS -
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND ANYMORE!
and in the final analysis
It will always boil down to memorization.
I have a very old version of IT and ran the compilation for VR (helps improve accruacy), but there is no way I could remember all the different phrases they have. I'm lucky I remember the traditional chfx = congestive heart failure.
Will all of the final 12 be there next week? (nm)

I gat a yawner the other day. UGH! The final

FINAL QA COMMENTS
My main complaints with QA are when the individual QA's opinion regarding commas and such affect my QA scores, with the threat of deductions to pay, withholding of raises, benefits, etc. I did actually receive a payroll deduction once, but it was due to the QA's error. Thankfully, I discovered their error and was able to prove it. It was extremely inconvenient, however, because I received no advanced notice that my entire paycheck would be reduced by 15%, and I had to wait for the next paycheck to receive the correction. I also resigned that position based on the rude treatment I received from the payroll department and the subsequent hassles that I experienced while proving the QA's error.
Again, it seems that QA has very little to do with patient care or document accuracy. Recently, there was a big controversy with our QA regarding the proper way to indicate military time. QA had decided that a colon was required and deducted points because I did not use a colon for '1925 hours', while the BOS indicated that a colon was not required and the customer specs didn't specify anything about it.
I have some Stedman books, but it galls me when a company says that Stedmans is THE SOURCE. Most of the time, I have found answers on good Internet sources; accuracy is easily confirmed. My books are not easily searchable, and I have not invested in the electronic versions. Also, I have found discrepancies/inconsistencies between different Stedmans books. I just purchased my BOS Second Edition 3 years ago, along with the PDF searchable version. I'm not anxious to purchase the Third Edition so soon.
Again, I believe that all this stuff is more about control than about providing accurate reports for the benefit of the patients. IMHO, there is more than one accurate way to form a sentence, and this QA grading process is a bunch of unfair baloney. If the dictators were grading according to a similar QA process, it may seem more fair.
Maybe the persons who began the QA points/grading process were just bored and needed some drama. Or maybe the objective, again, was simply to devise a method/excuse to reduce MT pay and prevent payout of benefits?
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different. I had one woman try to pull this on me. She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other." Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line. She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios. I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
Oklahoma and I don't know what the final disposition is yet nm
FINAL CONSULTANT POST
 You are right Fingers/Carole, I am not an MT. I am a consultant for many big businesses. All businesses are the same, in it to make money. The bottom line is that the MT biz is going downhill consistently. Those of you who are happy with your jobs, benefits, pay scale.... GREAT! But what about the tons that are not. Do you not care for your fellow American!! It won't be long and you will ALL have the same problem. Pay cut and fixes other VR and off-shore work. I did not come here to start any war, only to open eyes, that it is imperative to stop the AAMT type who do nothing for you and organize yourselves to get accomplished what is necessary to keep your pay and benefits going up, NOT down and out of the country or to VR with you doing the corrections. There is nothing wrong with making things easier with VR, but you should still get paid for your expertise while transitioning to this. VR will NEVER be able to take the place of the qualified MT.
I hope in some small way I did something good here. My intentions were in the right place. I wish you ALL well and full pockets!!
FINAL update on "Direct hit to cherrypickers."
Cherrypickers complained about the difficult doctors, TAT went haywire as they struggled thru 'em, so MQ "unlocked" the "send back to pool" key. So victory for the C-pickers. I knew it couldn't last!

You guys are great!!!! One final question..sm
I have got my foot pedal to work with Express Scribe. Now, how do I get the dictation over to it? I received the dictations through email attachment.
THANKS SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!
I'm glad that you were able to make a final decision...
and am sorry for your current living situation. It must be very difficult to be going through having your husband in assisted living. I sought an in-house position thinking it would alleviate my loneliness and help me to make new friends/colleagues. I was only in the office for about three weeks, had brought in donuts, bought soft-drinks, etc. just trying to fit in. My initial excitement didn't last long. The two girls in the office would take breaks and order lunch without even asking me. Maybe being home so long has made me naive or hypersensitive, but my feelings were hurt nonetheless. I heard them make remarks about how "chatty" I was. I was just excited to be around people again. After a short period of being around them, I questioned what I possibly missed.
Maybe you could get involved in a local church (if you haven't already). This has been my main source of outside interaction and support.
I wish you the best on your decision. I've been there and know how you feel. Please feel free to email me anytime you'd like to chat, give an update, or even vent a little. :)
Okay, I understand that...but judge was wrong in the final decision.
These judges need to get off their high horse. They're lawyers for crying out loud!
Taken from article: Far too much injustice is perpetrated on individual plaintiffs and defendants because of questionable judges. Even more important, people's faith in government and in our society is seriously undermined by the presence of too many such judges presiding over our courts.
Divorce will be final in 2 wks, can I stay on my ex's health insurance?
My ex is willing to leave me on his health insurance. Is it legal to do this? Will we get ourselves in trouble if he doesn't take me off?
Changing to Final only hides the tracked changes, it does not remove them. sm
To make sure that all your tracked changes are removed from the document, you must accept all changes. In Word 2003, click the little arrow beside the Accept Change button on the Reviewing toolbar, and choose Accept All Changes.
Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I
had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.
And should you not receive your final paycheck in a reasonable amount of time,
notify them that you will be filing complaints with the Department of Labor, the BBB, the FTC, the state attorney general's office, and small claims court.

My husband is in withdrawal. We were on vacation last week and he missed the final 2 episodes!! sm
Is there any kind soul out there who recorded it on either VHS or DVD who could send me a copy???? I would pay shipping! He wants to go on ebay and "buy" it, but I told him that one of these kind ladies from mtstars will help him out!
I personally have never seen the show. We were in another state visiting MY family and bless my husband's heart - I remember where we were last Monday night - sitting in my aunt's living room in the middle of no where in Oklahoma. Poor guy. He was so kind and nice, but I bet the whole night he was really upset because he knew he was missing THE SHOW of the decade! I had no clue this was going on....LOL
Any takers????? 
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
Give them a week's written notice...I'll be leaving xx/xx, please forward final check to . t
why would you have to say anything else?

Yes...Every Report
I have to admit, I proofread EVERY SINGLE REPORT. But I always have gone for overkill, and I am new. My one and only QA score was 98%. While I am proofreading (long reports), I sometimes stand up and stretch, or run and grab a snack or lunch so I don't feel like it is so much a waste of time. I suppose I will have to get to the point where I don't proofread every report, or I will never make any money! I may have to rethink my strategy if and when MQ increases their line quota for part time employees. Rumor has it at 8,000 lines per pay period, and I am only managing 6,000 and working long hours just to do that. Got to figure SOME way to speed up!
report
I get paid per report, $1.30, includes all accessions/requisitions -
for instance in one report if doc says this is an MRI of the Head, neck and 3d multiplanar I get 1.3 for each. I use Shorthand and I have eight years experience. I do anywhere from 80-120 reports a day.
