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!

Cleveland Clinic was advertising for MTs for their Fla
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. :))
and so it appears( x 3) the prestigious Cleveland Clinic does too.

Transcription Contract forms or ideas.....
Can anyone refer me to a site that has contract forms for transcriptionists or what do others of you have? I have one sample, but there are quite a bit of things on it that don't really pertain to the services I am giving. How do you come up with your own and what should be put in a contract? Thanks for all of your help and suggestions.
Rehabilitation Clinic transcription
I am about to start on an account working for an inpatient rehabilitation clinic. Does anyone know of any good online or offline resources for this type of transcription? What would you recommend? TIA!
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.
Google contract samples, basic contract examples, etc.

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...
Contract/no contract -- same rights
You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court. All you have to do is to prove you have been providing work to him, past statements/invoice will do that, you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court. But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it. Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you. He may not know anything about it. And please do not make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all. Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional. But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call. Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first. If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take. Good luck. I did take one to court without a contract and won.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
Hence, the need for a contract
and put it in writing that they have to give at least 2 wks notice or pay up! Wouldn't that be right? Business is business. I bet they wouldn't want someone doing them that way!
No contract
Actually I do not have a contract and usually do work whenever I want, just received an e-mail about the holidays and was not sure if I was actually "required". Have worked for them for 3-1/2 or 4 years but have never received an e-mail about holidays.
My contract
gives me a 72-hour turnaround time. I'm a contracted employee; therefore, responsible for my own taxes. I download the reports on a disk and do not print them out.
This may have been around for a while, but I have never heard of it before. Also, I would think it would be more of a local jurisdiction situation than state jurisdiction if you are working for the local police department. I do not see what the problem would be ... you have a confidentiality agreement, just the same as with medical. I will say, he went through the city attorney and others before proceeding.
If you have more questions, please feel free to email me.
Contract
I've got one I've used for years,just fill blanks with all the necessary info. I could e-mail or fax it to you.
contract
I have been doing this nearly 20 years and have only used a "contract or agreement" once and have never had a problem with any of my accounts with payment, etc. Guess I have been lucky but it has always worked for me. The one time that I did one, they did not adhere to it and we still parted ways. Now a days contracts are easy to break and expensive to fight.
contract
I wonder if you would mind sending me a copy of your contract at radtrans@comcast.net
Thanks much!
If you did have a contract
with this doctor, then you should enforce it. You should not just sit idly by and LET him do this to you. It isn't right and it isn't fair. Doctors thinking that most people don't have the money or the time to take them to court is the exact reason that they do things like this. You have to stand up for yourself. Don't be a doormat!!
IC contract
I recently received my yearly contract in the mail. I am to sign and return it. They have the amount per line filled in. I was a bit disappointed to see that the rate did not change. In other words, no raise.
I will probably just sign it and return it but for future reference how can I ask for more money and how much of an increase would be reasonable?  I am lousy at speaking up for myself!
contract
I have only had one contract in the 18 yers of doing this on my own and all that did was state what I provided and gave us a 30 day notice if either were to wishing to get out of using the service or providing the service. And my accounts have been with me for 6 to 18 years so guess I am doing okay.
What's an oil contract for?
I've never heard of such a thing.
Oil contract
We heat by propane and our bill, too, was going to go through the roof. I pay a little more for "will call" but we installed a wall propane ventless heater and it heats almost our whole house (one floor plan). The rooms that are cold get an electric heater; our little storage building has a wood burner. Like you, where does it stop???
Oil contract
This is a contract for a year's worth of fuel and the company locks you into a certain price, guaranteed. Otherwise, you usually have to pay more if you just call the company to fill up your oil or propane tank whenever you need it. However, you can beat this somewhat if you conserve and don't take their high priced budget deals. My budget was $80 last year; this year it was going to be $165 a month--for only ten months! I said no and we were very conservative here in Ohio, had a mild winter, though, and only used less than half of what we did the year before due to use of a ventless wall heater, electric zone heaters.
Contract
I don't understand your question about the contract ? ? I had to ask for a copy. They kept promising me a copy and promising me a copy. Finally I got one.
As far as their divorce...they were not married very long when the show was taped. I have no clue if the show aided in their divorce or not. Kym and I are friends, but not that close of friends.
No Contract
I never signed anything when I started the job.
I do have a contract
I do have a contract that says I will be paid on the 1st and 15th. I agree that where they go and when they go on vacation is not really my business, other than the fact that I personally feel if they can't pay their bills, they have their priorities out of order. When they cannot pay their bill as contracted, their lack of priorities becomes my business. Yes, my obligations and financial commitments are my problem -- but it would not be a problem if they upheld their end of the contract. But, I agree that I will return the work in a normal timely manner so the monkey is on their back, so to speak.
Contract
A contract may or may not help you much. I have worked both ways and all in all if the business goes belly up even with a contract you are basically out of the money. When I have done a contract I simply state what I will and will not provide, time in which it is provided (TAT), etc. I state what I expect from the company, what they will provide (paper, etc.) and make it very simple. Again basically there is always an out if they don't wish to abide by the contract or want to break it or just not use your services anymore. And in order to enforce the contract you will be in court just like you would be without a contract. But it does make some feel better working with a contract - but again I have been lucky with my accounts and my IC's and we all work togeter and get the job done. I always pay my IC's before myself and if there ever would be a problem they would know about it immediately even if the check is just one day late. But just state what you want in the contract and you really don't need all that legal language a simple contract will hold up in court if it ends up there. Only you know what you expect from your MTSO. Good luck. Patti

Contract
After working for a small practice for about 2 months, I was abruptly told one afternoon I wasn't a team player, they were letting me go, but gave me the transcription to do at home--I was and am grateful for the work. I did have presence of mind to ask if I would have a contract, as this is all new to me--have mostly worked in-house, except for a short part-time job. The office manager's reply was, "Oh....we trust you--I don't think we need a contract," which really irritated me--what about my trusting them?! Now I wonder just what category I'm in. IC or what?? I suppose I just don't want this office to think I'm a dummy and of course, need to protect my interests--this is my bread and butter--not a sideline job.
I started looking for a sample contract here on MT Stars, but I suppose the required wording varies from state to state. Does one have to have more than one client to be considered IC?
Appreciate any help!

My contract
My contract tells my docs that I am off on all holidays, including Christmas Eve and the day after Thanksgiving. It also says if those holidays fall on a weekend, I will take either the Friday before or the Monday after as a holiday. If they request transcription on those holidays, I charge double per line. I've never had them complain to me on this at all. I once had a STAT dictation on a holiday and the doc included a $100 bill in my envelope "for me being a pain in the butt," as he wrote on the note.
? about an IC contract
I am signing a contract for work as an IC. It says Executed by Contractor at _____________, on ____________, 2006.
I get the date part but what goes int the first blank? My address?
If you are an IC then the contract
you signed should stipulate how much notice to give. If not, I would ask. You may want to use them on your resume for future jobs. 
Need an IC Contract example...
Anyone have or know a website with IC Contract examples. I need to type one up by tomorrow, and I am at a complete loss.
Thanks again! This forum is awesome!
Need an IC Contract

I have never signed a contract as an employee that I can remember, contracts are for independent contractors, thus a contract.

Even with a contract if they find your work "unsatisfactory" they can nulify the contract. Even with a contract there is no reassurance that they will keep you and should they fire you unjustly do you have the money to go to court and what will you put in the contract to offset the fact that the "let you go before the expiratioin of the contract." Even with a contract the one doctor might still "pick" as it seems like it is his nature so why take that with less money and still no reassurance that they will keep you. I used to work with contracts but each time it came up for renewal there were negotiations, etc. and several times it prompted them to look elsewhere. Now for the past 15 years have worked without one and barely lost an account to someone else, only death and retirement. If this doc mainly picks at the bill just document all the work and stick by it. Good luck

Its a shame what these so-called companies do. I really hope you are able to get the money you worked for! I don't see how they sleep at night, but I guess they are okay with it as long as it does not effect their paycheck. I recently had one lady hire me as an IC, but when I asked about a contract, she kept saying, "I'll get it to you in the morning, in the evening, sometime this week, etc." She wanted me to start working without a contract! Then got angry with me when I refused to starting working without a contract! I can't wait to get out of transcription full-time. I still love the transcription itself, but I hate these companies with the bait and hook, practically begging for a raise, the broken promises, etc. Sorry to go but its just really old.......................and you guys are the only ones who understand how it is.
In your contract, specify exactly
what you are going to charge them. If you would like the client to pay for the phone charges, then by all means, add it to their contract. Everything and anything is negotiable. Do not devalue your worth.
contract
Did you sign a contract with the first service stating you were not allowed to work for anyone else while working for her?
Contract age?
The only thing I can think of is if you are an Independent Contractor you may need to be 18. In most states, contracts are not binding with minors.

Hello
Can you please send me a copy of the contract that you use? I am also interested in obtaining more clients. I would appreciate it -

I found when I had clients, especially private physicians, they were NOT agreeable to any contract. They usually feel like they are giving you a gift by just allowing you to type for them. Honestly..
Then I would get a new contract.

What does your contract say???? If
it specifies which line count you are to use, then that is the one you use. Also, does it say you will have deductions for blanks? Read your contract.
What exactly does your contract say?
Usually there's an out clause that describes how either party needs to handle it if one wants out of the relationship. You have a non compete? That's the first I've heard of one in this business. Go back to your source - your contract. I've had some experience with non competes in the insurance industry, so feel free to e mail me if you want. I may be able to answer some generic questions.
