It pretty much answers all questions as to what is the norm for the industry.

This is the first time in my life I've made this much money - working 10 hour days, 5 days a week.  I have no idea how long the opportunity to do it will continue, but I was really surprised to see how few pass the 40k mark, and now I know I'm extremely fortunate and should definitely not take it for granted.

Is anyone familiar with I chart dictaphone platform?  If so, I would love feedback - negative or positive!   Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone could help me out.  I need to see some example of different ways to set up chart notes.  If anyone knows of a place on the net i can view these of would send me some blanked out that would be great!!!!!

Thanks,

Jackie

It could be better, but could be worse.  Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time.  They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.

QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner.  Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract.  For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.

They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.

They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.

IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.

Actually, I understood it a little differently.  Fast Chart seems to have two fees.  The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period.  There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.

As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?

Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?

Thanks.

I'm getting paid gross lines right now and my company is going to be using new software which will use 65-char lines.  I'm looking for some sort of chart that shows the difference in $. 

Any help will be gratly appreciated. 

Thanks

I have a doc I have been typing for for years.  He HATES dictating lol  Rt now he has stacks of patients on his desk and I am getting ready to go on vacation, but there is no way he will dictate before I leave.  These would just be short orthopedic FUs,  Im wondering if any of you have gone by the chart or the diagnosis and the prior note and typed a note for the patient.  Does this make sense?  lol  Anyway any suggestions would be great. 

Thanks!
