if you can access the internet, you can
work. Not a problem.
There is internet access but they charge big $$$
We went on a cruise in April and I did not even think of work. It would not have been financially beneficial. I would have paid more in internet fees than I would have been making. I would just go and enjoy yourself.
If you are connected to the internet, anyone can access your
You need serious firewall protection.
Satellite Internet Access
I am currently living in rural Iowa, and my only options for Internet access right now are dial-up (can you say S-L-O-W ?) and satellite. I know I can get HughesNet and WildBlue. My questions are:
1. Are there any other providers I may have missed?
2. Anyone have experience with HughesNet or WildBlue or any other satellite access for MT work?
I have to make a decision on this within the next week or two, so any help would be much appreciated.
Satellite Internet Access - wireless?
Where are you located? I'm in rural Iowa, about halfway between Des Moines and Omaha. We are on a hill with no trees around, but there are higher hills around us, and we can only occasionally get cell phone signal. No line-of-sight for the cell towers around here. I don't really know much about wireless, though, but I'm not even sure I can get it here. I don't even know what to look for, I guess. Can you or someone else clue me in?
Hospital Disabling Internet Access for MT's
I have a question and hope someone might be able to help me. I work at home as an MT. The company I currently work for does overflow work for a hospital; however, while on the hospital's platform to transcribe their reports, your email and internet are disabled and you cannot access either one - is this legal? I feel like this is an infringement of MY rights, &c. It is my equipment, I pay the bills, yet I'm limited - and everyone knows the quickest and easiest way to find something is to look it up on the internet. I can understand the hospital is worried about patient confidentiality, &c., but for them to dictate how and when I can use my own computer is ridiculous - like telling me I can drive my car, but can't use the A/C in the middle of a hot and muggy Florida summer! This really burns me up, esp when we don't have QA and are supposed to send blanks directly to the doctors - who just love to b**ch when you're wrong while we are constantly correcting their mistakes and helping further inflate their over-sized "*I* am GOD!!!" egos!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Oh for Pete's sake! Had Internet access long?
sheesh
Yes, and the recipe board full of stuff copied off the internet.
KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

Full Core means full CPR code.

Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
MOre than one acct
The above is a good recommendation. I have a binder with the account specifics and when I first started with them I would bring it out, review what their specifics were and so on to refresh my memory. Now after years of managing five accounts it is an automatic switch of font, margins, set-ups, etc. After a time you will be doing the same but until then, just make a binder, cards or folder and prior to starting the account bring it out and refresh your memory and keep it handy to refer to when needed. Good luck.

RAD ACCT
I get 9 cpl on two accts using ADAC/MARS, 2.00 report for mammos and 1.50 report using Meditech
acct
I got my own account by actually being a patient there. They actually gave me a rate they were looking to pay and worked from there. Also, I do not print or pick up/drop off. I speak with the office manager if there are any problems. They also have a few other Transcriptionist so we try to send the files to each other if we get stuck but if not it just gets left blank for the doc to fill it in. I have a TAT of 2-4 days.
Need Help to set up an acct.
my aunt just asked me if i'd be interested in doing some work for the doc she works for. i currently work for somebody else, so all of that legwork is done for me. i simply download from her system, type and return.
how do i go about setting up something so a doc can dictate digitally and get it to me. i don't know the first thing about it or where to start! he currently does not do digital, but is considering looking into it, so i can't really turn to them for help on this one!
suggestions greatly appreciated!
No I do better job. On acct 1 yr. nn

How much do you want this acct?
You could stand up for yourself and say you want XX more per line or you arent interesting in doing acct. It would be a headache for MTSO to find another MT to do this acct as well as you, but it wouldnt be impossible. Also MTSO would have time tied up in training new MT. MTSO MIGHT decide giving you a raise is worth it to her or she might decide to invest in someone else. You may have some insight as to which route she would go, but beware, you could lose acct. Again, how much do you want this acct? If you dont want to take a chance on losing it, you can hardly gripe about what MTSO is making on it.
I used to have an acct like that...
I could do 1000-1200 lines in three to four hours. I mostly did one doctor who said the exact same thing over and over, so I had a template for his entire transcription and just had to plug in specifics. Sadly that job went to India :(
Of course you can access them
What do you mean you have no program to access them?
Why can't you just do a file search?
1.80 for me ... have to use their access. nm

Am I the only one who could not access this

Access sm
I had a terrible time and kept restoring my computer to an older date late Sat., early Sun.. I think it just showed me how valuable this site is to me. I would hate anything to happen to it. Glad to see it back!!
I can access it.
If you still have trouble after scanning for malware, you might want to try polycola.com and see if you can access Google through there.
If acct is on ASR, what is left for MTs
is the worst of the dictators that have always and will always be a problem. The best speakers are put on ASR to the machine can under stand it. They've got you. It is no faster that using expansions. There is no production increase, so there should be no decrease in MT/ME pay. THAT WAS THE DEAL! I will go back to cut and paste an old post that says what happens.
Get a local acct (sm)
The middle man is making money on your work. Cut out the middle man and you'll make more than $15 an hour.
hospital acct
A little more info would be helful. Medical Records? Acute care? Full time? Benefits? Large hospital? Days/evenings? Where are you (what state)?
i am on verb acct,
and there are very very few reports that actually go out word-for-word verbatim. I do keep it as close as possible within reason and common sense.
I was removed off an acct. after one day -sm
as the client requested I be removed. I don't remember being given any samples (several years ago). It was an ESL, a new acct. etc. So I did have blanks here and there, the MTSO had told me not to worry, they'd QA all the work. For some reason or other they did not, hence the work went through as I had left it. Needless to say the client was not happy, so I was removed from the account. I did not lose my job though, but I was peeved for sure about the whole thing. We eventually parted ways and I have not had that problem since.
Tell MTSO you want off this acct. ;
MTSOs are always complaining about the shortage of good MTs. Your MTSO, I am sure, would rather have you working for her on all your other accrts than risk losing you because of one bad dictator. A good MT is worth more than the sum of lines of one bad dictator. She knows he is bad and to this point, she knows you will muddle through with him. Put a stop to it. She will not quit giving you work over one doctor. I have been in similar positions and have always been taken of acct/dictator that I requested because I could not make money. MTSO is it this for money, she shouldnt expect any different from you.
Unless this is your only acct, worth more for

losing acct
Hello Patty,
I lost an acct about two yrs ago and it hurt, but I wasn't backing down. The OM of one clinic knew the OM of another clinic I typed for and they mentioned to each other how much they were paying me per line. The OM from the higher paying clinic called me and asked why I was charging her clinic more. I told her first of all it wasn't really any of her business, but the other acct I had had for 10 yrs and I billed them 50,000 lines/mth, plus I picked up tapes every day. Her particular clinic I only had about 6 mth., billed about 3000 - 5000 lines/mth, and didn't get tapes every day. Needless to say, I never picked up another tape from that clinic, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
No. You said verbatim acct. Maybe that is why

Start looking for another acct and when has
x
On my acct are 2 drs. that all know are horrible.
to just do our best and email acct manager the job number so she can alert the facility. Facility knows the work of those 2 are going to have more than the allowed amount of blanks and we just have to let them know when those jobs are coming through.
access disconnect
They disconnect the phone line and you see on your computer that the connection was disconnected. Then they only can get back in when you let them, by clicking on an icon and working with them at your end to get them into your computer. Dont worry, it is done all the time. You will see the disconnect on your screen.
It's very frustrating trying to access
This qualifies for the Stupid Business Decisions award.
What are you using to access their FTP site?
You don't use Internet Explorer to access FTP sites. You can download CoreFTP Lite for free and use it to upload and download from FTP sites. If you want to, you can email me and I'll try to walk you through it. Win98 shouldn't make a difference with regard to FTP. As far as docking pay, well, hmmm, that's mean of them. Anyway, download the FTP program and email me, and I'll see if we can't get you up and running.
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???
I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com
I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.
Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
can't access right now, but try Kansasii or something like that
no message.
count access........nm

Same here..with ExText cannot access...
voice file unless asked for the voice file. Only QA has access. You can pull up the report just no voice file.
Wireless access?
So how do you have access to the internet along the way? Satellite?
/Would absolutely LOVE to do this as husband is schoolteacher off all summer, but I'm always working.
Wireless access. sm
In my past dial-up days, I used pay phones and calling cards to upload/download work. It is so much easier to connect to the Internet than it used to me because wireless access points are everywhere! (I am an IC and download voice file; I don't have to be connected to a system to receive work so if that is your situation, you may not find it as easy to work on the road.)
Depending on what wireless card you have, you can either use that software or Windows to find a wireless network to access the 'net. I've hit access points in campgrounds (that's our big pasttime), from parking lots at community colleges, hotels, libraries, Panera, McDonald's and even open home networks from the grocery store parking lot.
Your BIGGEST issue in all of this, however, is security. Make sure that you're using encryption to both send and receive; a VPN client is even better if your company has that set up.
You may want to buy an AC/DC power converter (about $35 at Wal-Mart) that plugs into your car's lighter. You then plug your computer's power cord into the unit for power.
Footpedals can be optional, depending on your software. I know that with ExpressScribe you can use the F keys to control playback, etc.
I have always had an access # assigned....
If you could get into a records system without a private passcode, that would be a major HIPAA situation! I always have a sign-in ID asigned by the facility for any C-phone account I have worked; but it is strange that you are hearing a beep and not an operator giving instructions. I've never had that situation before. If you don't have an account Lead you can contact to get help, I'm thinking you'd best tell your employer this isn't working! Good luck.
Do you have access to DSL or cable?
What you're thinking of doing may be more stressful to you than you think. The price for the high-speed Internet would certainly be worth it.
Help - I can't access my Email
It lets me sign in but the page says unavailable or something like that, the error page that comes up if you can't get on the Internet. It happens on two different accounts - verizon and yahoo. and on both computers in my home. I was chatting live with support for an hour and I accidentally closed the chat and I'm too tired to start over again. Anybody know what happened? Sorry if this is the wrong board for this. Thanks in advance
No productivity access
Did you request a copy of the productivity log submitted by the hospital? That is all you have to do if your company did not submit one to you automatically. In addition, keep your own private long with accession numbers and times, anything you would need to support a discrepancy. There are a lot of programs out there that do not support that type of operation, so do not think you are being lied to. Just make sure they are right.
Do acct coordinators have the power to....
knock you off the server so you lose whatever work is downloaded to you and, if so, is this pretty standard practice when they want the work to go to their favorites instead???
