I quit too after 10 years. Loved Healthscribe, can't make ends meet with Spheris. NM
mq requirements
Part timers are supposed to do 4,000 lines/per week, 8,000/two weeks..Full timers 6,000/week, 12,000/per two weeks.
mq requirements
I was told by my TC, 8,000/pay period for part time.
me too with the requirements sm
of 20 years experience at least 45 years old and over! (Acute care of course with all the junk that goes with it)
There are no age requirements for teachers
You are never too old to further your education. I know seniors who take college courses for self-improvement. My daughter will graduate in 9 months to be a teacher and she is 37. Teachers are high in demand. There is such a shortage, but don't go into it just for the money. If you do, you will be a crappy teacher.
different accounts, different requirements, but...
some things you probably should have available are MS Word, a wav player and foot pedal, and WinZip in case you need to unzip or zip files.
Line Requirements
Could those of you who are paid twice a month tell me what your line requirements are per pay period? I am wondering if 15,000 lines per pay period is around the average amount. TIA!
Not exactly right. If you WANT THE JOB, you'll fulfill their requirements. nm

Watch for HIPAA requirements!
I've just begun investigating this a bit myself. Files must be encrypted in specific manner, and/or a housed on a secure FTP server set up in order to be in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Something to be aware of beyond just creation of the files.
if i make production requirements only
which is 1200 lines a day...it is about 2100 from the national, and then the local i pull about 500 to 1000 a month depending,
suffice it to say, however, that i have been withthe national for a month, and have not managed to get my lines in yet...though i had a bad run with mono int he middle of that.
I have been at this for 7 years, and can on a good day do upwards of 300 lines an hour, on a slow day..heh..you get the idea...
right now i am averaging about 2200 a month between the two jobs
QA stems from regulatory requirements
All hospitals are required to meet quality standards in order to maintain their accreditation status. There are QA reviews for the hospital as a whole, for each department, and for each function. It filters down level by level.
In the case of MTSOs, they have to meet the quality standards of their clients in order to stay in business.
It's not anything intended to harass employees, but to improve patient care.
And, yes, doctors are QA'd, but they're QA'd on the basis of their patient care. The quality of their medical record documentation does feed into that, but on a higher level than spelling and punctuation.
Poll on editing line requirements
I would like to know your line requirements per shift. Please indicate whether this is production based on hourly or based on cpl. Thanks!
check state certification requirements
Make sure you check not only how much a program may cost you, but what your state requirements are. I'm in Utah and we are required to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice. There is also a national exam that is supposedly good if you take it, but is get pricey. I took the course locally with a program that included an internship. I personally found the career boring and it didn't pay well enough for me to pursue it, but every state has different pay scales so check into it.
You should have a leg up because you do have to learn and memorize a lot of drug names and what they are for. Also, make sure your basic math skills are good. Mine stunk, so make sure you can remember how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and decimals. Good luck!!!
Minimum wage requirements when there's no work, perhaps?
Looks like the Q is having to pony up minimum wage to a lot of MTs when there is NJA and this, I believe, is the highest in CA. Interestingly, CA-based employees of the Q seem to get NJA less frequently than other regions.
It all depends on what state you live in and what their laws and requirements are. Check with your

Certainly you should have to meet your
But as the MTSO it is not your business to know what I am doing with my time unless I am not meeting the deadline. I have a deadline to meet with all of my clients, but I certainly do not report to my clients my daily goings on in my life as it is none of their business. As an independent contractor, the MTSO cannot set my hours. Punching a time clock is for employees not independent contractors.
How many here would like to meet?
Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:
1) Memphis, Tennessee
2) St. Louis, Missouri
3) Kansas City, Missouri
4) Atlanta, Georgia
5) Dallas, Texas
Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?
It might help if several of you set up a day and time and meet there.

How do you meet the buyer?
Do you have to let strangers in your house? I'd be afraid they'd be looking around to case the joint.
She still has to meet TAT and recording
not a good idea. What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away? If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.
IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do! And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable.
Curious - just to meet?
Dallas, TX
I would meet in Dallas also.

Here! Good to meet you. That guy was
something else, but did give me a chance to learn ops at an hourly pay, so I have him to thank. That was a long time ago, and far far away! Memories! Hi to all my friends who worked in the room with no lights, and the money tree with the bugs. LOL.
Overhire as long as one meet TAT

Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat. I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
I too have struggled to meet quota since (sm)
starting DQS, but nothing has been said to me about it. But if they do ask why, you better believe me, I will give them more than an ear full! I hate working and feeling like if I don't meet production, I'm gonna lose my job or something. This job is already stressful enough between the bad dictators and feeling like I'm getting my lines ripped off since DQS, I mean come on, they need to give us a break! 
Howdy, nice to meet another PJ.
I love psych, but the work is hard to find as many facilities keep that one for in-house only due to all the extra precautions that need to be taken regarding psych info. If you land an account, you guard it with your life!
So Nice To Have A Place To Meet Again!
I wish the MT help desk would come to this board to answer questions, etc. I hate talking on the phone, being put on hold, being transferred from one person to another, getting called back when I'm changing a dirty diaper, etc.
For you married folks, how did you meet? sm
Through friends/family? At school? Met each other at the grocery store when you reached for the same loaf of bread at the same time? Through an internet dating site?
MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet. I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!! This will be great support!!!
I think she should meet him in public place..nm

If you meet the criteria for an IC, they are right. If you do not, they are just calling you that
:P
pleased to meet you, hope
you guessed my name . . .
CHAT ROOM MEET @ 7:00 EST
Hi all,
There is a group of us planning to meet in the chat room at 7:00 EST tonight. All are welcome. 
Agree with you. As long as you meet TAT, you
x
LOL Yeah, my Mom used to tell me that if I wanted to meet guys,
I had to go where the guys were. If you wanted to meet a jock or a guy who watches sports, go to a football game or something. Home Depot = handy guys. Library = smart guys. Grocery store produce department = desperate guys, especially when they ask you how you can tell the cantaloupe are ripe! I met my guy at a car show = motorhead guy. Sporting goods department = fishing/hunting widow.
Hope I don't meet this patient on the road...sm
"Her job involves a significant amount of ... in addition, working on a cell phone, typing and driving." This could explain some of the drivers I've encountered recently, shew...
Pot, meet kettle. Your posts are all over the board. sm
...just because they are responding, and probably not even as vocal as you've been on here. That just reduces any point you were trying to make to shreds, sounding juvenile and defensive instead of engaging in reasonable debate -- but worst of all, acting like you are superior and somehow smarter than all the rest of us when most of us have known all about this big "news flash" of yours for years now. You say you wouldn't hate others for what they believe in, but when someone spoke up saying they like ASR, you insulted her by saying she must not have been a fast typist then. ASR isn't going away, no matter how many people quit MQ citing that as a reason. Many times, it's not even the MTSOs who sell doctors on ASR - there are companies out there courting the doctors, pumping them up with sales talk about how great it is and how much time/money they'll save. THOSE are the ones the rest of us are aiming at, and wisely so. Think about it, do you think the MTSOs like it when clients go to ASR and lower the rate they are paying the MTSO?? If the MTSO also sells the equipment, maybe. Otherwise, doubtful. It's new technology and MTs must adapt for now, as chances are good it will flame and then fizzle out. MANY, many doctors have already tried it years back, hated it, and returned to traditional dictation. As you've been told, this is NOT a new development so it's not that people don't care; they just aren't as urgently impressed by the rants since it's old news. It lurked on the horizon for a long time before it ever actually hit the shelves and a lot of us researched it prior to it actually being utilized.
Yes, there are plenty of issues that are pulling MTs everywhere down. Offshoring is one of them. Has been for years. ASR/VR is one of them. Has been for YEARS. Maybe this is news to you, but again, most of us have known about these things and been proactive about/against them for YEARS by not accepting lower rates and not offshoring or working for companies that do.
I will reiterate, though, that one of the biggest issues dragging MTs through the mud is something that is perfectly fixable - the BEHAVIOR of some MTs. Unprofessional, juvenile behavior is not considered a desirable quality in any employee. Lack of work ethic and false sense of entitlement are two more traits that are not desirable in an employee. Someone who has only been in the business for a few years but thinks they know more than MTs who worked on manual typewriters is yet another undesirable. MTSOs read this board all the time and take note of these things, and when certain names come up on resumes, they go immediately to the circular file, if you know the flavor of THAT Kool-Aid.
That is making ends meet, not meat by the way.

Ever call people you meet online?
I feel a little weird calling someone that I met online. Yet several people have left me their phone numbers to call them just to chat or some ask me to IM (instant message) them. Are they too trusting? Am I too mistrusting? It just feels weird to me. I am on my own. No kids or anything. Soon to be 45 years old. So I guess maybe that comes across in my e-mails that I am lonely and they are just trying to be nice. However, I would prefer just to leave a message on the message boards like this one or send an e-mail. I guess I want to know if others are exchanging phone numbers over the internet and IMing people they meet over the internet? The people I meet are usually people suffering from autoimmune disorders or people in chronic pain. They are usually responding to a message I left. I can't do anything about this condition so I try to focus on others and offer whatever words of encouragement I can over the internet to those suffering.
This is the way I look at it. I could work 4-5 hours and meet the 1890 they required for FT, but th
When they did that, it just made me care a whole lot less, so I try to get my 945 as a part-time person in my 4 hours. I know some of the reports I get are just horrible, but I can deal with them.
wish I knew where to go to meet, date and marry a man with a lot of money!!!
nm
yes, and how does one meet their required quota with no work for hours on end?
One can only "make up" so much downtime!!
Do any companies give raises - if so, what criteria do you have to meet?
nm
If you meet guideline, you are IC. Taxman has guidelines for what is IC in your state.

Apply for a business loan to meet payroll.

Gee, wish all these newyorkers would meet on the New York State board. It gets lonely up here.
