the Ohio (main) clinic was at one time being transcribed by "that" other company but don't know if they do it any more.


I'm with you - a face transplant is very interesting! 


Look up their clinic in Florida (extension) and see if they are still hiring.  Let us know.  :))

Does any one know who has the Cleveland Clinic Transcription Contract? sm

I saw where they did a face transplant today.  I would love to transcribe that operative report!   Anyone know who has their transcription contract?  I want to work for them - I think, depending on who it is.


Any help appreciated.  Thanks!


and so it appears( x 3) the prestigious Cleveland Clinic does too.
.
Cleveland is, for sure.
Not sure about any other cities in Ohio.  Haven't heard.
Cleveland
was making $15.88/hour before MadQuist took over our hospital.  excellent health benefits, 401K so-so.
Need help from Cleveland residents
I'm planning an overnight trip to the Cleveland Zoo with my 6-year-old daughter.  We'll go to the zoo on Tuesday because I'm told Monday is way too crowded, but what can we do Monday and where should we stay?  Someone from the zoo suggested the Lake Erie Science Center, the Natural history museum, the Science Center (different from the Lake Erie Science Center???), or the Botanical Gardens.  A fun hotel would be nice too.  Thanks a bunch.
The Cleveland Zoo is a great zoo...sm
We visit several times a year. I am sorry I cant help with hotels to stay at, as we live about 1 1/2 hours away so we just drive home! I definitely suggest Lake Erie Science Center too. Or you might want to look into one of the waterpark hotels in Cleveland. They are awsome too. It is an indoor waterpark with a hotel in it. And the drive to the zoo the next day wouldnt be all that far. I have 3 girls ages 4, 7 and 10 and they love the zoo and rainforest and the science center and indoor waterpark. Hope this was some help. Have fun and enjoy the day!
Cleveland evacuees
Just heard that has been put on hold for now, on the news. The people do not want to leave to go so far away from their homes (or what was their home).
Hi - my DD goes to college in Cleveland, SIL/family are in Gainesvile :)

clinic is not walk-in or ER notes; it is clinic
could be a small clinic with just famiy practice, internal medicine, maybe physical therapy, or it could be like mine, large, every speciality, cardio, nephro, neuro, ortho, endo, surgery, ENT, podiatry, ophtho, derm...
advertising on your car
I did surveys, took too long and never really made much money.  What i want to do is find someone to advertise on my car.  They wrap it with a plastic advertisement and you get paid monthly for driving around town.  Does anyone have info for this?  I googled it and was only able to find european companies that do it. 
advertising

Hi,


 I agree that most will be word of mouth, but i did make up flyers with price, turnaround time, etc and walked into and sent many offices my flyer along with a business card.  If an office was advertising for a medical secretary, I would fax my flyer because more than likely, they would need a Transcriptionist or have the secretary do it.  I now work for four docs all of whom were referred by my very first client. 


Good luck to you!

Advertising
I had my own business for 7 years, worst mistake I ever made was selling it. Anyway, flyers go in the trash, best way I found was to go and visit each office, speak with office manager if you can and leave a business card with your rates, turn around time, delivery, pickup etc....Then make a followup phone call a week or two later, and continue with 6 to 12 month followup. Once you get an account and they are happy, before long word of mouth will get you more work than you can handle. Good luck.
That is why they always are advertising nm
jkdlfjklsdj
Into advertising now too?
I didn't know that. I will have to look into that some more and see what they are doing with that.
use their own advertising

This is great of proof of why American MTs are better and the physicians need us.  You can tell them, or you can show them.  If this major national can't even have correct copy on their advertising....


Quess web design doesn't go through QA. 


Patti - Are you the one advertising for an IC and YOU
Big no-no. If you're specifying hours and rates, honey, you're an employer!!! PAY UP ON THE EMPLOYER ISSUES!!
Look, when you start advertising your own BOS, the
Administrators DO know about the AAMT and when they start with their advertisement of GLOBAL-wide acceptance, style guide, certification, education, etc., you'll be hard pressed to get business.

I'm just trying to give you a few ideas of what you're REALLY up against. THE industry standard. THE industry leader. THE recognized well-established with money to boot association who already has the global market.

You may find a few rogue MTs and small-time clinics here and there for your project.


Wasn't trying to come off as advertising

Hello guys, I'm sorry for the multiple posts today. I wasn't trying to come off as trying to advertise, especially since I'm not making any kind of money at all, just trying to be helpful. I didn't mean to come across as self-promoting or anything.


unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
There are still plenty of companies willing to pay for advertising

on the TV and radio.  Besides, I'd never pay for radio or TV.  That's just silly.


He wasn't advertising here--it was MT Jobs.
x
They keep advertising. Bad place to work
As if being Indian-based bad enough. No Thanks!!!
my, my, how hateful. That's good advertising...
for the AHDI. Ahem. Your grammar and structure are lovely and correct, though. I'm sure you passed the exam with flying colors.

I used to joke that every time I considered the CMT I got pregnant: end of CMT plans. In all seriousness, it's a lot of money to spend. I was chapter president of our local AAMT for a couple of years and I put in a lot of hours setting up stuff for the CMTs to get credits; it's quite frankly what it all revolved around. A lot of those women have spent a PILE of money over the years keeping current with their certification and I admire their tenacity. Not one of them that I know personally, however, has ever benefited monetarily or professionally by their CMT; it is a personal satisfaction only.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a forest/trees analogy nor as simple as a having a "grudge" against the AAMT - oh, excuse me, AHDI. There's been a lot of broken promises and dreams over the years and some people have real reason to be bitter about it.

The exam is a good one. I proctored an exam, I've looked at the materials, and I've seen what it takes to maintain. It's good stuff. But unfortunately, in the end, it's only for your own personal satisfaction. Different strokes.
Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.

http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm

No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.

I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.
It's the advertising policy of MTStars..

They are still advertising the jobs on their website and in the newspaper

Quite a waste of money if they're downsizing. Oh, and did I mention - they just opened up a new clinic, which increased the work load by about one-third, and now they are building a second hospital? 


Nope. Not downsizing.


I remember when they first started advertising sanitary napkins
That was many years ago and I was quite young and incredibly embarrassed. Somehow, I think things were better when we all had a lot more modesty.

Probably my imagination.
the history? nothing.. he is just advertising an Indian MT company and board
x
Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Only by the mounds of junk mail every day...cc apps, advertising circulars, etc. nm

I just saw another MT site advertising a service that offshores that boasts the company as

transcription companies in the US!  Of course, it doesn't surprise this long time MT considering the owner of the site highly promotes offshore transcription.  I am disgusted and have canceled their newsletter.

I just started using "mydocsonline" - no extra fees unlike the one advertising above this - sm
Simple to use to, I only have 2 users so $99 for a year which is half the cost of most of the others, and HIPAA compliant, etc. Not sure how cost effective if you have a lot of doctors though, but I like the fact they give you so much space a month, you can save/delete whatever you want to do, no extra charges/mb or kb--metroscript is 14.95 a month (or more) and .34/megabyte of each upload, I would have ended up paying about $120 a month, forget that! I tried the free trial of mydocsonline and it works well for me.
This happened to me once. I had bought a Lanier transcribe unit from someone advertising over on SM

MT Daily.  I sent her a money order for $500.  She sent me one email after she received the money order saying she had sent the Lanier and of course I never received it and she didn't answer my emails for a week.  Then she finally emailed again saying she had asked her daughter to send, but she hadn't and that she was going to ship the next day.  Still I didn't receive it.  At that point, she stopped answering my emails and eventually blocked me from being able to send me emails.  I had her mailing address and phone number.  Of course, she screened her calls and never answered the phone. 


One thing people should know about MT's, we do our homework.  I immediately researched what my legal options were and here is what I did:


1.  I contacted the adminstrator of the website on which the original classified add appeared.  They attempted to contact her to no avail.


2.  I contacted the police departments in both her city and mine and filed a fraud report.


3.  I then contacted the Attorney General's off in both her state and mine and immediately filed a report with each office.  I was told that the claim would be investigated, but more than likely nothing would not come of one complaint, BUT if they received more than one complaint regarding fraudulent practices by the same business or individual, then they could file charges. 


In the end, she made the mistake of forwarding one of those chain emails to everyone in her address book and mistakenly sent it to me.  So, I had the email addresses of her business associates, co-workers, employers, friends, family.  I promptly sent an email to everyone of them telling them exactly what she did to me and that they should be very careful in dealing with her.


I got several angry emails for people asking me not to include them in my email war.  I apologized to those people and took them of the mailing list.  However, three of the email contacts emailed me back and said they had bought stuff from her and never received the equipment.  And finally, I received a very angry email from the perpetrator's other daughter.  Apparently, her mother was freaked out about the fact that I had reported her to the police and the attorney general's office and I also let her know that I had made three other contacts ready to file with the attorney general's office which would probably get my case more notice.  The daughter Western Unioned me my money within 24 hours.


Casey, I say break out the big guns and start shooting.  That's what I did and it worked for me.  You probably have the person's mailing address, so you know where he/she lives or at least what city and state he/she lives in.  I wonder if we dealt with the same person?  Is this person from Texas?


ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!
clinic

yes, it is clinic work


Clinic pay
I'm thinking about doing some doctors clinics.  What should I charge.  I too will be picking up and delivering. Thanks a bunch!!
I had only clinic exp.
I just applied to companies that seemed good and was hired with no acute care experience.  Good luck to you!
Do not know about WP, but I have a clinic--sm
who has WP and I type in word, save document as "rich text format' and they can open it on their end.
I went from FP clinic to OPs sm
hardest darn 4 months of my career! I skipped acute care other work types. In the end, it has been just great. I then went work for a service doing OPs after that (it was all outpatient surgery) for a large teaching hospital. At this point, you can throw me about any OP and I can do it. I learned cardiothoracic surgery this year without much cardiac experience and didn't even find that a problem.

I have a Stedman's Surgical Equipment word book, but if you are a good googler that is almost as good, but can be time consuming if you are not. It would help you to have another MT who knows OP notes to ask questions of as you learn. I did, it helped a lot.
when you say clinic...
Do you have multispecialty clinic experience or is it just a few specialties, multiple docs or 1 doc? That might have something to do with it.
mainly clinic, but
I do have about 4 months of acute care. I know most places like to have 6 months of experience.
Any hiring - ER only - or clinic maybe?
Need a new job!  But have only done ER for 12 years.  Old single mom with small children and no time to learn new tricks right now LOL!  Anyone know of a good company - at-home - that hires for ER only (not Spheris) or clinic work?  Would appreciate as much input as you are willing to give.  Would especially be pleased if they supply equipment!  Thanks!
The gal I shared a clinic with (sm)

went in one day to pick up tapes.  She was standing there erasing tapes when one of the docs walked in and started chatting with her.  As they were standing there, he handed her his tapes for that day and the day before.  They continued to chat and she took those tapes and ran them through the magnet!  She looked up at him, he looked down at the magnet, and they both busted out laughing. 


Yeah, it sucks, but it isn't the end of the world!  Go in first thing Monday morning and tell them what you did. 


 


My old clinic spent (sm)
over $100,000 implementing an EMR system that claims to "replace dictation."  Well, they'd have to sell it to doctors who are interested and have time to type in order to replace dictation.  If nothing else, it increased my line count because of all the crap I had to add to get the notes uploaded to the system!  I'd still be there if I didn't have to move. 
Mayo Clinic
They have run that ad in "Advance" for years.  I had a friend who applied for it and they told her they were just "making up a list".  I don't know if that has changed or not.  Also, to work at home, you have to live in the Phoenix area-- no way for me!  It used to be nice when I moved there in 1964 with large citrus groves, beautiful clean air, etc., but now with the traffic, high crime, illegal aliens, gangs, road rage, shootings every day, etc., it is just like living in LA.  If that appeals to you, go for it, but not me!  I have a horse and used to enjoy riding along the canals and cotton fields, etc.  Now it is just wall to wall houses about 3 feet apart. I got out of there in 1997 and not a moment too soon!.  They are trying to make the rest of Arizona just like it and ruining everything, unfortunately.  It used to be a beautiful place, but not any more.  Besides, all the Californians are moving here with their money and are pushing housing prices out of sight. 
Anyone know what co has ad for clinic work - sm
on the job seekers board.  States you have to have a C phone or be able to re-record but no company name given.  Anyone know who this might be? 
Does anyone do PT Clinic Reports?

I have never transcribed these type of reports and may have an opportunity to in the near future. I have over 12 years of multispeciality experience as an IC and am just wondering what the pros/cons might be of the these types of reports.


TIA.


yes, but did you hear that this clinic is now
closed, and nobody knows why? Hmmm... All of their patients are scrambling to fing somewhere to go for medical treatment. Interesting.
Mayo Clinic

I know for a fact that all of the Mayo System clinics here in Minnesota run ads just to collect resumes. They will lie and tell you that the opening has been filled, but I have an insider who tells me what is really going on and you also see the ad continue to run. There are no job openings. Not nice.


 


I do clinic work for them
/
I think clinic/ ER notes sm

would be a good place to start, either working as an IC/employee for a national or getting your own accounts.


 


Good luck!
