    I work on an account that just came back from India sm
    They had an outsourcing company that sent their stuff to India. They were so unhappy, they brought the account back to be done by AMERICAN MTS.

    But the poster below me is right, the government IS doing something, they are making it easier and more financially rewarding to go overseas. One day and sooner than later, the American worker will be so poor and so economically depressed that America will no longer be able to import goods/services from overseas because we can't afford them. By that point, we'll be gardening in our window boxes and stockpiling foods that we will no longer be able to have or afford.

    The tip of the slippery slope towards another Great Depression.
    Oh well, as long as it gets our work out of India and back to us
    I would go back to the office in a second for decent money and affordable benefits. 
    INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
    Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork.  My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators.  Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries.  Give up you all, India is already way ahead of us!
    Used to think we were using India, but now realize India is using us for our med. info, jobs,

    To whom DOEs it belong, if not to her?

    I am. Realizing that I don't belong to the
    stupid gross population that seems to be on this board lately!

    How about a little class and finess, ladies. Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to!

    Get'r done...that's your motto. Larry the Cable Guy must be your president, huh?!
    Sorry, don't belong to any useless...
    MTSO organizations or any organizations for that fact. I don't have time.

    My question to all the ICs out there - How many of you are willing to pay for what it costs to do direct deposit? I know I would, if my client offered direct deposit, but only if I would pay for the cost of the service. However, I am betting that not many ICs would...but then again, I might be wrong.

    You do not have to belong to AAMT
    to take the CMT examination.  You do have to maintain a 30-credit cycle over the course of 3 years. You do not have to be a national member to go to chapter meetings to obtain the credits, though you do pay the fee to attend the creditworthy meeting.  In fact, many hospitals do continuing education credits for free and AAMT accepts those credits as well.  Tell it like it is.
    Exactly - they belong in the house
    I've had indoor cats for decades and it's like anything else. If they never have it (going outside) they never miss it.

    If someone puts their cat outside it's only a matter of time before they contract feline AIDS or FELV (leukemia virus) or rabies, get attacked by another animal, get hit by a car, or just disappear with no explanation and you don't know what happened to them like the in the case above.

    Keep them inside where they belong.

    NOT necessarily does post belong on GAB BD

    The Main Board and the Gab Board are definitely for discussion of a movie and/or healthcare.....The GAB board is not for any subject (so they have said here at MTStars) relating to MT work......or politics and religion.....Think the Main Board is also not for politics and religion posts also.....


    But Administration could clarify this for us here..........and have in the past numerous times.


    If you belong to AHDI, you take the exam
    Indian MTs make sooooooooo little money, the $25 difference probably doesn't help them at all.


    Not all MTSOs belong to this nor subscribe
    Just so ya know. Many of us think both MTIA and AHDI have done more harm than good to the MT community. Be careful who you get in bed with.
    a comma doesn't belong there!
    im glad you haven't done it after!!! :)
    I agree, this board does not belong to her,
    after all it is a 'world help board!'H

    Had she really in mind to help the newbies, she would have formulated it in a different way.

    It is always the tone that makes the music.
    It is her body...however, the life insider her does not belong to her!
    God blessed her with this child and now she needs to find out why.  If she is not ready for this then thats her decision but there are other options out there.  Abortion is unexceptable birth control.  Maybe by taking your niece to an alternative to abortion pregnancy center (family.org has an abundance of info) they can give her all the information she needs to make the best decision not a blind decision.  I will pray for your situation. Please keep us posted!
    Doesn't this belong on the productivity board?

    Agree 100%. In-house is where we belong. Services have been our downfall.
    And privacy issues would no longer be a concern.
    With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

    OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
    Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
    PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.

    I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.


    COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

    I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
    It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
    How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.

    You are right ... and I cannot imagine that these are even remotely sanctioned by MTStars mgmt. Will await their input before jumping to conclusions.
    How about it is all going to India???

    not sure, but if you were on the national do not call list maybe this would help?? since you do not know where they got your name from it might help. I am on that list and have not received any calls solicitating, selling, etc. thought this might help.
    EMR/India

    I am sorry to hear of your loss.  We might as well  face it, this industry is going to the birds.  I have lost four Docs because of outsourcing to India.  It is a shame that the Docs have to find a cheap way out because of all the overhead, malpractice, etc. that they have to pay.  I have been in this for four years and I thank God that I have 12 years doing medical billing, for which I am going back to school to do coding.  There is no job security in this industry, you are treated like dirt, you do not get paid on time and not treated like an employee should be and now EMR.  What is next?  Robots to do patient care?  Good luck to you, but I feel this is just a little wakening up call to all of us that things are changing and not for the good.


    India MTs
    Where did you get this info that there are more CMTs in India than here in the US? Just curious. Thanks
    India
    Most of these people, at least at a company I worked for, work 2 shifts every day - company paid for them to get their CMT.
    India

    One of the reasons there is still such poverty there is that India still has the caste system.  While becoming more westernized has improved the quality of living for the majority of Indians, those in the lower caste are not allowed the same opportunities.  They live in squalor without running water, food, education, etc.


    India
    This is very disgusting! How are we to compete with $500 a year. If India is so great why is it that they hire Americans to edit this crap all the time??? These companies do not understand you get what you pay for just like everything else in life. It's all about saving the allmighty buck. This is exactly why I and I'm sure others out there do not work for any company who offshores!!
    Why India?

    Interesting article in "The Record".  Would love to hear opinions on this.

    India and CMT

    Please tell me they are not only undercutting us in pricing, but they are also getting  a break on the CMT exam?  I am "saving up" to take it! – see below from MT India


     

    "Moreover, with an aim to encourage experienced medical transcriptionists in India to align with global standards and broaden their career avenues, Prometric & AAMT have also announced a special price for the Certified Medical Transcription (CMT) certification exam, which will be available for USD 150 (reduced from previous available price of USD 275)."
    India
    I agree, the India thing may be part of some of the problems I have noticed lately. Things are in a bit of an upheaval. Certain accounts that were said to have been largely off-shored now seem to be back here and always going out of TAT. The one I'm working on now is like that, and I wish it would stay here because I like it a lot.
    no - that's how they say it in India


    Probably the one in India.

    From India
    Me too, about a year ago, but mine was from India, what nerve.
    From India, of course! SM
     What I can't figure out, if WE can't understand the lot of them, how did they ever get through the recruiting/hiring interview and application process, and how to they communicate with their peers and patients?  Via interpreter??
    Me neither whether that be here or in India..

    I'm not real sure I see your point. 


    I'm not being difficult.  I just don't understand how a fire would cause companies to not outsource.


    There were fires in California.  There was a hurricane in Texas.  I am quite sure these two disasters did not spare places where medical records are kept. 


    He/She is probably QA in India
    If this were an Indian MT, all they'd have to do is send it to their several layers of QA. This is likely an Indian QA person who has nobody else to ask.
