CEUs are NOT FREE!!!! nm

And how much do you pay out of pocket for AHDI dues? And required CEUs?

No, you're not alone. Almost all TV disgusts me nowadays. nm

It is sad, but that is the state of this "profession" nowadays.
So true! Nowadays a B.S. Degree is just that --
hee
I think microcassettes are used more often nowadays then minis.

No big bucks for docs nowadays
So true. Compare it to the union thing. Just my take on it. I've worked in-house & at home, and have seen this thing slide down the hill big-time!
this was maybe 20 years ago valid, but not nowadays
with such a low line rate and VR, when transcribing's speed has to be tripled to get the same pay.
Newbies can still learn and profit from the answers given on the word help board.
CHANGE is inevitable in every field.
Hey---Nowadays we NEED a Dept of Pubic Health!!
ROFL
Doctors nowadays are in it for the money and "superiority"...
It is my opinion that there are very few docs left that truly care about their patients. In working with them and as a patient. Having a sickly child, I have been through 6 peds in 11 years for one reason or other. Only had one truly great ped, he saw sick children even on his day "off" and still saw them in the hospital and if he couldn't treat whatever, he wasn't afraid to send you to a specialist. He saw patients until he died. I believe he was in his 80s.
Nowadays that's a pretty mild word....... -nm
Nowadays doctors are little more than glorified puppets. sm
The suits in managed care tell them what hours to work, how many patients to see per day, what to treat and what to ignore, and what treatments they can or cannot prescribe. With the office visits cut shorter and shorter, and more and more patients seen per day, ('run 'em in/run 'em out medicine at its best), they don't have much control anymore. They just look at their watches alot (like throughout your entire visit), and gallop down the hall from one exam room to the next, trying to keep up with the quota management has imposed on them. Management snaps their fingers, the doctors jump. Lots of them dont even dictate anymore, their nurses do it. No wonder the quality of dictation has been going steadily downhill, just like the rest of healthcare. I'm sure most of them don't have the slightest clue their hospital's work is even outsourced, let alone offshored. They live in a pretty cloistered little world. I'm sure the doctors where I used to work still think their hospital has a transcription department!
I think the majority of families in America are dysfunctional nowadays!
I have yet to find or meet a functional family.
My little family of 4, meaning me, my husband and 2 children are functional, but when you add in my side of the family, 5 siblings, and his side of the family 5 siblings, it becomes totally dysfunctional. Go figure!
I can only do the best with my own little family of 4 and keep us a functional, caring, productive family giving back to society in a positive meaningful way. I can not control the siblings or extended cousins, etc.
It is my goal to keep my little family of 4 functionally intact forever!
Check the MT jobs available. Nowadays 8 or 9 cents a line is considered good for experienced MTs.

so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
cost??
Why is Andrews so much higher than Career Step? Do you think it's worth it in the end?
cost?
You will not be disappointed with Career Step. It is affordable, thorough and helpful.
TAT cost
A few years back, we got a mass email out of my office about just how much the out of TAT issue had cost over a particular week...somewhere in the ballpark of over 30 grand for just the top 3 major accounts.
Yes, we've been told that the company has to pay hefty fines to the accounts for not being within TAT. Not sure how it is today, but I can't assume much has changed.
CMT cost?
how much does it cost to take the test to be CMT?
It DOES cost a lot more to be IC - SM
On top of the self-employment tax, etc., you don't get the benefit of your company paying 1/2 of your social security so that is where most of your money at tax time goes to. If you are an employee, they match what you pay into social security so it's not as much. I went through the same thing and decided it was not worth my time to work any extra as an IC. I saw the difference in the taxes I paid. Good luck to you.
You can, but it's going to cost you. sm
Several references on Google that will cost you between $40 and $80 for a search, but it would have to be worth what you're looking for before coming up with that kind of money and I really thing that these sites will not give you adequate information.
Check with your post office. They may not be able to give you information, but if you or someone you know is getting unwanted mail from a P.O. box address, they can stop it for you.

cost
Don't know if you ever got an answer for that. I purchased a model 0421 a couple month ago. While this is an older model, it works just as well as long as you get an honest seller. They are expensive and you tend to go out on a limb when trusting that they one you are buying actually works. I paid $145 for mine. Total w/S&H was 170, which was an excellent deal. Either deal through ebay or this site. You can find them in the 150-175 range. Read instructions on ebay closely some say not tested. I actually emailed a seller and gave him him a number of how to test the machines and he was tickled to death. He had no clue what the machine was for. I would say buy a used one before spending the money on a new one. There are a lot of these floating around for sale that have just been collecting dust because people are downloading off the internet. Nothing wrong with the machine, these people just have no use for the machines right now.
You say it does not cost you anything? How about your
time? That is worth something, isn't it? Time is money in my book that I could be working instead.
It doesn't cost $800 either
Can't imagine a chair more comfortable that it.. i'm sure the Aeron is built much better, though. I noticed it does have a 12-year guarantee.
Sorry! Forgot the cost! They can run anywhere
from $10 to $50 range - definitely under $20 last I saw, which was only a few months ago.
the problem with that is the cost
Before deciding to get a BA in psych, I looked at many different quick fix schools. I was interested in cooking, the cheapest school is 15,000 up front, nine month course. Was also interested in aesthetics, 6000 bucks! If they would offer pay as you go for these schools so you could pay cash, that would be more feasible. Collins college, DeVry, all in the thousands. I pay about 500+ per semester...sure it will take me years BUT I think a BA degree opens many doors. The person who says it doesn't is crazy!
Cost of going digital
I am trying to decide if it's worth it to get a local office to go digital. They don't even have a website, so technology is not their thing. I assume that because of this I would still have to print/drop off reports? Is that right? This is a very small office, so I don't want to spend a lot of money to try to do this. When I try to do an internet search, there is way too much information that is way too complicated. I just want to know what I would need for the most basic setup. Anything advice/help you can offer would be helpful. Thanks! LL
we went last May, cost us a fortune!
Our expenses were for 2 adults....
We actually did one of those timeshare tours so we could get 3 nights free at our hotel. So we paid for 4 nights = $400, there was supposed to be a shuttle going to/from the parks but that didnt work out so we had to rent a car (dont remember how much that was), Disney tickets for a 4-day park hopper pass was nearly $500, Universal 2-day tickets were about $200, cab from the airport was about $80, food was very expensive - about $100 day.
We flew JetBlue & i thought they were wonderful & reasonably priced. I want to say our flight was a total of about $400-500.
All-in-all, I'd say about $2500 for the whole trip including gift shopping & food.
total cost
Total cost of $60 for two phone lines, which includes taxes, etc. It also includes call waiting and voice mail. But my C-phone line has nothing on it, no call waiting, etc. by my choice. First month on my residential phone is free because they are just starting up in my area.
Had you complained that you did not okay all this, they probably would have taken off the cost
:+
I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Is the cost less if you are in India. Why do I think it probably is?
:+
Pay their own operating cost sm
This is not for the MT to pay for heaven sakes, this is the MTSO operating expenses, (the cost to do business, it is THEIR CLIENT) It is all a bunch of bull and the MTs are thinking, well--ll okay-yyyy I guess.
Cost and other things
It is a little costly, but don't forget, you are buying food anyhow. It might be a little more, but you won't be buying your Twinkies, etc. ;-)
I did NS after my first baby about 100 years ago and did lose the weight and managed to keep it off until I went to work at home. I don't know how the program has changed since then.
After gaining a whole bunch when I went home to work, I tried WW and lost nearly 80 pounds and pretty much maintained it, up and down 10.
I like WW because they painlessly teach you how to eat right. It's a reprogramming of sorts and it really works.
Whatever you choose, good luck!!
Medispell cost me $39.
Also did not include most drugs.
cost of transcription
I am hoping that someone can help me. I am wanting to go into business for myself. I actually have the physicians lined up, but I am having a problem with cost. It seems to be a big secret on how much MT companies charge the physicians. Is there a ballpark figure? Do they charge by the line or how do they charge? And how much? Any help or information I get can would be helpful. Thanks.
Cost of food
I was spending over $75 a week for three meals and one snack a day and that was over five years ago (not sure how it is now). If you are single, not too bad. If you have to also feed a spouse/family and buy regular food as well it is rough. It works though ;)
DocShuttle. Does it really cost $269 to get it?
Or am I looking at the wrong thing? I'd love to apply for a position that needs this but cannot afford that big a bite in my finances. Any help is appreciated!
Buy by hub by Targus - cost about $80 from a
computer store. This is not an adapter. It has various kinds of ports. I hooked my pedal to it and it worked fine - play, forward and reverse.
4 cpl goes further when cost of living is less. nm
Ditto here...the cost of some her..
favorite things could feed some people for a month! She has no regard for the poor in her own country. You would think with her humble beginnings she would remember a thing or two...guess money can buy a selective memory! I agree, she is a snoot!
A very low cost option without having to
spend a lot of money on hand held units is EZ-Voice. We offer a toll free call in solution for 9 cents per minute REGARDLESS of how many or how few minutes you need per month. We also offer FTP server space. Click on the link below to learn more...
Thanks. I found out that it will cost about $300..sm
to cancel my service early with Direct,or about $320 to upgrade to an HD DVR receiver with Direct. So either way Direct is going to get about $300! Now I just have to decide whether to stay or go with Dish. Hope the HD (limited as it is) is worth it! Thanks for taking the time to help!
Why would it cost $140? inc. labor?
you can do it yourself, it's easy. I doubled mine for about $60, but I think I got another 512 MB or so, then got I think a $20 rebate. I noticed the speed. It's easier to keep multiple programs running and loaded and properly functioning at one time. Multitasking is easier. My work computer is 256, tell me that doesn't suck! I spend half my day waiting, it seems.
Cost should not be an issue!
Do not try to save money by getting a cheaper chair, that is exactly what you will get....Cheap! I have a chair that has 4 different adjustments plus I use a lumbar support. Your back is worth it, don't skimp!!!
I use Maxell NC-II , cost about $30 - sm
Just bought myself 2 pair at buy.com for $30 each --retail is $50. The description is "Maxell HP-NCII Full-size Noise Canceling Headphones". Very comfortable and fit totally over the ear, not tight but fit nicely so you don't feel like your brain will come out of your ears, noise-canceling if you want that (I don't use it). I bought them at Wal-Mart a couple years ago; checked their website though and it does not look like they carry them anymore. Mine are starting to act up (right speaker cutting out sometimes) so I did a search on google, found them at a good price and bought 2 of them, so I should be set for another 5 or 6 years with any luck.
What does it cost you in insurance to be
BS
Cost of living
Could someone live comfortably in the Phillipines on $2000 per month net with adult and 1 teenager?
They probably figured you'd cost too much and
these companies surely do not want to offer anything a USA MT is worth. And they probably would rather insult you by failing you on the test, than your insulting them by refusing their low offer. A lot of us oldies with great quality get the same treatment. Or they say we are prima donnas or something, which really means we are not suckers. LOL.
Not if it's going to cost them more money to
Then they might outsource only when there truly IS a 'shortage of American MTs', and not just because they say there is. It should be cheaper to pay us more than it should be send the work to foreign countries.
