    READ the post! I did not say IC avoided
    EMPLOYERS could avoid paying SS taxes (talking about the 7% match) on a person by claiming that person is an IC and not an employee!  The IC would have to pay SS taxes of course!
    Other than MQ, what other companies utilize DocQScribe??


    If I had just one other skill that allowed me to pay for my modest lifestyle, I'd utilize it.
    Maybe it is the 20 yrs in this business. I now have tinnitus, am absolutely sure that sitting for 8-10 hours a day is having a detrimental effect on my health, am more anxiety ridden now that there is very little job security and I am a sole operation here in my little world, have arm and hand fatigue (it's a freakin miracle I do not have CTS yet). I just really do not enjoy doing this as I used to. I have to really force myself to stay focused and am really really trying to find some joy in it by realizing other people have tedious jobs just as I do that they must also dislike.
    Utilize the speed typing engines and begin
    storing in their favorite phrases so that a few letters will bring them up. I am working for several physicians. Took me a few months to get all the words into speed typing mode but now that I have, the time I spend typing is cut in half.

    Never type a word larger than 4 letters.

    chest pain - cp

    pneumonia - pnea

    atelectasis or infiltrate - aoi

    so on and so on - whatever works for you. This is how to make money these days, high production. And the speed typing engines lessen change of typos and other erros.
