Health records
Where can I locate the AHDI recommendation on length of time for MT business to retain health records?
If it's ok with you if your health records
go to some filthy disgusting third-world country, at the expense of your own job and livelihood, be my guest. FYI HIPAA laws are only for this country. they can do whatever they want with your private health records. It's not just fires. The QA sucks, communication barriers suck, economic consequences of MTs who have lost their jobs BECAUSE of greedy Indian MTs,.... List goes on. Go ahead and be a bleeding heart, but don't be surprised when your job security stops beating as well.
I am not sure about the health records part
PO does not have any of my husband's health care records, and he does not use any sort of PO identification number when he goes to the doctor. So I am a little confused by that statement.
The new Obama Plan for Health Records
So, anyone out there --- What do u think this new proposed plan of National Health Records being computerized within 5 years? What would this mean for MTs. CNN says it would require thousands of highly skilled Medical Records experts to get it on board. Any comments? Is this a good sign for those of us in the Health Documentation career field. And could it mean tighter control of records going off shore?
Health information personnel, medical records, clerical..sigh...nm

Study found that electronic health records did not boost patient care. sm
Link to article on yahoo news stating that electronic health records fail to improve care, study says.

Go to MTChat and ask California self-employed MTs or do a SEARCH in LOCAL MTs for California. We ha

okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
patient records and prisoner records
Does anybody know if our USA prison system is keeping prisoner records in the good old USA, or are those records offshore outsourced too? I am just curious because it seems to me that law enforcement in general does not offshore records, and I was wondering about prisoner records? If anybody knows, please post. Thanks in advance.

RUN AWAY!!!! Do not pass go, do not buy their
lousy worthless software and footpedal. They are also known as TranScam. There are complaints against them with the BBB and ripoffreport.com. Even a national parenting magazine published an article about their scam methods.
You can download Express Scribe for free to play sound files at http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
You can purchase a footpedal online for under $50.
As for my own experience with them, I am a college grad, took a medtrans course, and have worked in MT for 8 years now. I wanted to see if what everyone said was true, so I applied with TranScam. They even pulled it on me! My test file was perfect, but Alan said I needed mentoring so I could work for him for free after I purchased the $400 program. I don't think so, dearie. I don't know how that guy lives with himself. He must be one of those masochists who thinks he's so superior to women or something.
Don't pass this up!

Thanks Jay (V?) - will pass it on too...nm
this too shall pass
Stop, take a breath and look around you. Really think hard about what's important. If you had to leave your home for a small and less expensive one, would it be THAT bad? If a vehicle got repossessed, would it be the end of the world? I have learned from age and experience just not to sweat it. You can only do what you can do.
Appeal the medical bills that weren't covered. Find out from the ambulance company why they were denied payment...been there, done that.
Everybody has problems...I got stiffed out of 2 checks by my prior company, went to work for another national, been there a month, still haven't been paid, though they keep telling me it was mailed. No pay now for nearly 3 months. If they turn the cable off, big deal, I'll listen to the radio. It gave me a good opportunity to clean out the fridge since there's nothing in it!! Worry only about your health and your husband's health, stress can make you ill....and it DOES.

California MT's
Does anyone know why companies are unwilling to hire people who live in the state of California?
california MT's
So far we have been told by 2 companies that they will not hire from California, I am waiting on a reply from a recruiter who is checking into it. I think it may have something to do with the OT laws and the highest employment taxes in the nation.
Sucks Though!

That is so funny.... I must pass it on

California trans
Yes, they are a great company.
California's is $11 or $12/hour...sm
whereas Florida is bumping it up to $6.15 an hour next month I do believe or next year sometime....2006.
It's all relative when you think about housing costs, like in california.....you could live in a dump and it might cost a half million.

Please read and pass on...
I received this via e-mail...so you know how things get started on the Internet, but if it's true, I won't be buying Pepsi anytime soon..
Don't buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can
coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building, and the
Pledge of Allegiance on them.
However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge,
"Under God."
Pepsi said they didn't want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don't
want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either!
So if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended
when they don't receive our money that has the words
"In God We Trust" on it.
Cold in California
Chance of snow tonight near Fresno. I know this is not your kind of cold, but for us it's unusual.
I will pass this along to my hubby. He's always looking for new...
investment opportunities.
Very thoughtful of you! Thanks!
I live in California (sm)
Actually, they get quite a bit of time off in year-round school. My daughter started school July 24 and will go to the 1st part of October and then be off all October. Then she'll get two weeks off at Christmas/New Year's. Then she'll go until February and have that whole month off. Then she goes until the end of May and is off all of June and most of July until she starts 2nd grade. It makes it easy to plan vacations because we know when she'll be off, and we don't always have to plan a vacation when everyone else in the world is. We actually enjoy it!
Still 2.69 in central California. nm

Maybe you could pass out fliers and
give your number or e-mail address, and just see what kind of response you get and go from there with setting up a meeting time. Have the first meeting at your house.
What are you smokin'? Pass it over here! :)
Please pass on the name of the company you went with s/m
You do not currently use ExText at all. What company using ExText did you leave? TT ?
What platform are you using now. Would you mind sharing this with us.
In-house pay in No. California is $22-30

Yep, you get the free pass, right?
Because everyone there knows your names? Bigspenders!! I knew you said were going back soon and that is what we are doing, probably in August sometime. Hubs likes to wait until it gets around 110 and he is happy. Ugh for me! I took my kids when they were younger to loads of places so now my time and even if I am up in years don’t care, get assistance at the airport if I need and still go on my merry way. After I get these bills out of the way, my intention is going at least twice a year for myself- hubs can wait until that 1 trip a year to Las Vegas. Never stayed at Harrahs- saw the show there, wonderful. Wish they had the really big stars in LV like they used to - when I got to where I could afford, Elvis, Frank and the likes gone. Might go and see George Carlin, have always liked him and his wraped sense of humor. Again, hubs will be at the Rio with the all you can eat seafood buffet!
If you passed the CMT before, I'm sure you can pass it again... (sm)
especially since you have an additional 7 years of experience. Someone told me they make you listen to the dictation snippets without the use of a foot pedal. Really...that is funny. What MT would work without a foot pedal? Unless of course they were a double amputee. Sorry I'm so wordy tonight. I just got done with my shift and am a bit punch drunk at 3 am.
Anyway, the RMT is just for new graduates to test their basic skills.
Good luck with your CMT recert. I have my 2 years at the end of the month and am thinking about taking it myself.
Come to California and you'll fit right in (sm)
with all of us fat MTs  And California is usually a "skinny, healthy" state - not that I've seen of in-house, hospital MTs, at least here in Northern California.
IMHO, you will do better working in-house in a "liberal" area or state, or employee-oriented state, because major employers know not to go there, or else 
California MTs: Please see inside
Are we required to have a business license in California for IC transcription work?
In California pay is $20-21/hour.
CMT pass score
Can anyone tell me what is the score required to pass the CMT exam?
You don't do the work in California, do you?
If you are not physically in California doing the work, then you don't owe them tax money.
I would not fill the form out.
Not EVERYWHERE in California is expensive
I live in a rural area near Napa. It's a LOT chaaper here (home prices and rent) than in SoCal where I moved from last summer. California is a big state, lots of places to settle down. Have to take time to really look.
California Transcription LLC
HELP!!!! Can anyone tell me anything about California Transcription LLC???? I think it used to be called California Transcription Unlimited, but I'm not sure about that. Was just offered an overflow account with them, IC, but they only pay monthly, so I will end up typing for 6 weeks before I see a paycheck!! This is not a problem for me, but my only concern is that they are legit and actually pay people. Would hate to find out at the end of June that they are rip-off artists.
I REALLY need some input here gang. Does anyone on here work for them now or in the past, or know anything about them??? Thanks!!!
Thank you for the info--what city in California?
That isn't as good as I'd expect.
Thank you, I will pass along your kind words to him.
Thank you for taking the time to write back. It is really helpful and I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the prayers! I will pass along your kind words to him. Bless you and have a great day.

I can't pass a typing test, LOL. I am so
used to using an Expander that I can't even type a sentence without a mistake in it.
