I think it's unprofessional not to pay..I simply state, if you don't bill, I bill directly...
This has only happened once, and I had my check cut same day. This is business and I will not beg someone to give me my money. I simply stated it as a fact.
Give a week's deadline, then threaten to bill client directly. That shoud do it. nm

timely
Was just getting ready to order my second pair of SoftFlex gloves and was wondering if any other company makes something similar. Mine were free when I worked for a company a few years ago. I love the darn things but have about worn the right one out (the strips are working themselves out on the right and I doubt it would help by mending them). I turned them inside out and switched hands and that worked since the left glove isn't nearly as worn. Anyway, the SoftFlex feel great.
A MESSAGE TO MTSO WHO DO NOT PAY TIMELY
You know who you are. As for the MTSO who I work for and owes me a grand. If this is not remedied by November 1, this is not a threat by the way, just a fact, I will be forwarding a very detailed yet professional letter to your client making them aware of your continued unethical and unprofessional behavior.
If you are an MT who works for an employer who does not pay you in a timely manner, I encourage you to do the same.
Transcriptionists will not allow you to continue to treat us this way. You will not be able to continue to put up the front to your client pretending to love your MTs. This is totally unacceptable. I'm sure that you are not skipping any paydays. I'm sure that all of your utilities are paid. I'm sure that your bratty kids are wanting for nothing.
I have had it with this crap. We've all had it.
I'll trade you your $88 bill for my $350 bill.
I would love to have such a small bill like that.
Sorry, that should be "If someone". nm

Boy I can tell I am tired--- "if you are an IC" - nm

"Is" should be "if" above.

"If You Read My Mind"
as sung by Maureen McGovern.
But think about it. What does "if it didn't work out" mean? SM
That she screwed up so many reports while trying to take care of little kids?
There's more to this scenario than just the MT and what she wants. Patient care is involved. I repeat...would YOU want your medical reports transcribed by someone who was so distracted?
Not true. "If the company makes money"???
That's funny.
Bonuses are usually based upon production. If you reach a certain production, you receive a bonus.
Whatever criteria is set, one must meet - I agree.
However, if an MT meets that criteria, and the bonus is to be paid on a certain date, they are delinquent in pay if the company does not pay on that date. The company set the time...not the MT.
I'd still seek a legal remedy.
Or as the immortal George Carlin said, "If you can't beat them...
arrange for them to be beaten." ![Stooges](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_8_218.gif")

Not so. That's not cheating you in any fashion.
However the MTSO chooses to contract with dictation providers is up to them.
The MT's only concern is the contract between their own services and the MTSO.
If she wants to charge the client by the page and pay the MT by the character, that's fine.
MTs have GOT to get over this idea that they are the end-all/be-all ... that every decision should be made around them and include them. Not true.
yes, in limited fashion
and handwriting to me was more challenging than the voice at times, and timewise, i believe it took longer.

lice...old fashion remedy works best...been there
this was an ongoing problem year after year after year. With long hair being the normal thing, was a pain. AND after spending a small fortune on the over-the-counter lice crap that NEVER worked and we seemed to have them again and again...one egg can start it all again...I went for my grandmothers solution.

Not fancy...smells horrible, BUT did the trick.
You will have to use a very VERY gentle shampoo after soaking the head but once I did this, it was literally the end of them. No re-infestations...no repeat soakings...one time...shampooed with baby shampoo about 3 times and next day deep conditioned for dryness. Her hair and mine was fine.

if the docs dictated in an orderly fashion, clear dictation, enunciated
every word, spelled patient's names they couldn't begin to pronounce but try anyway, but then if they did all that VR or a monkey would have all our jobs because then "anyone" who could type could do our jobs.

What I would tell you directly sm
I know you want a better job and for whatever reason, it just has not happened...YET.
Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Up to a point, the longer you wait the better it will be. Though, after a while it seems useless, it really isn't.
I had a wonderful job up until summer of 2007. Like a fool, I had $$ in my eyes and I took a job at 10 cpl. It was hard work and the line counts weren't great, but then they started to regularly run out of work. That was year ago this month. I started actively looking for work and I had offers, but I didn't take them because the grass is usually greener over the septic tank, rather than on the other side of the fence. I have been burned and didn't want to be so again. I sent out one last resume just before Christmas, but didn't think anything would come of it. I was wrong. My gift for Christmas turned out to be my dream job, so I quit the one I had.
In June, the one I quit in December begged me to come back and I accepted, because as a PT job, it would be perfect, and it has been. The boss I disliked is gone and a great gal is in her place. There is also a great deal of work.
I have the same time in you do, 15 years. I have waited much of that time for a full time job and a part time job to come together in a way that meshes as perfectly as these two do. All good and wonderful things come to those who wait.
I am wishing YOU all good things and soon. There is a company out there wishing for a hard worker, looking for their needle in a haystack and that needle is YOU. Best wishes and good luck!
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
Jan -- I type directly into the EMR
Your doctor can still dictate but you will type directly into the EMR but you need to do it in house unless they allow you access from home -- which they might. But it is hard to charge per line as there will be some "normals" that they put in. So I do it hourly at the clinic. Have done this twice now for clinics. The first one, only one doc did the dictation, then another started and pretty soon all five were doing it and I had to quit as they needed someone full-time and I have my other own accounts. I did it just to help them out at first and get out of the house. But they did not like the hours they spent after seeing the patient doing the charting. So one never knows. Good luck but don't burn your bridges. Charge them reasonably but not out of anger.
Please see the post directly above yours.
While you are right that SSDI is different than SS, you forget that there are hundreds of children out there who have lost one or both parents and receive SS until age 18. They are certainly not retired so you're argument that it is SUPPOSED to be an account that helps people after they retired is inaccurate. It is, as originally stated, a program that was meant to help people who fell on hard times (not retirement).
As far as judging someone else, I'm just stating facts.
Like many other hardworking people on this board, I am not especially fond of watching my tax money be spent in a wasteful manner (I am not calling SS wasteful), and I certainly do not appreciate the people out there who are looking for ways around the system.
I could go on in this vein for a while but I've got to get back to my work. :)
Wow, this must be directly for a facility. Sm msg
Very hard to imagine an MTSO paying that type of money, although it is well worth every penny! Good luck! Grab it quick!
Even though IC directly for the hospital,
it sounds like you do not handle all of their transcription needs (in other words, providing the staffing, with the hospital being your account). For MTSOs who do have hospital accounts, I have seen the rates varying between about 18 cpl and 25 cpl (I imagine this is dependent on several factors, such as how the lines are counted, volume of dictation, and geographical location, among other things). For clinic accounts it also varies, but usually at a lower rate, about 12 cpl to 18 cpl, again depending on several factors.

working directly for rad office
If you took a position working from home directly for a small doctors' office (5 docs) with no ESL and you supplied your own computer and internet, what is the lowest line rate you would accept? There is a good chance they may provide benefits too, including medical insurance. This would be for radiology only with mammos, x-rays, CTs, diagnostics, ultrasounds and no MRIs.
Thanks in advance for comments.
I work directly for a hospital in the NE,
the list is provided to me by the hospital.
Hi, Paul. Appreciate hearing from you/him directly.) SM
Anon, I also love this product; Paul and Ben did a great thing producing it and I'm grateful. I can't say why I like the platform so much except that it pretty much doesn't make me think about it. The work's in the reports, not fussing with the system. With one big exception as far as I'm concerned--it really needs a wild card or at least a better search feature for practitioner's names. That's often a major time waster.
I also like it so much because I find I'm faster on VR. It turns out I have a knack for editing, while I'm just a mediocre typist; others are obviously discovering the opposite. I certainly don't feel the disconnect from the dictator's meaning described by another editor. I confess, although many "hearing-it-wrong" mistakes are made by eScription (enough to make me needed), I've come to have a very healthy respect for its ear and listen very very carefully before overriding its reading.
That said, I'm unfortunately soon moving on to another, untried platform. My old account was offshored, like other eScription accounts with my employer before. I've heard the profit margin with eScription is just too low to compete with local editors. Sad reality???

You might need to bypass the USB hub and plug directly in. sm
I have had this problem with other USB devices. I just switch around until I find one that will work in hub. I don't use EMDAT so don't know if that's the problem. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
Is the post you replied to directly above this one?
If not, the one you replied to may have been deleted. They can't control that. They delete one part and everything in response to it automatically goes with it. They can't leave responses hanging there when the one it was tacked onto was deleted.
That cpl is for contractors working directly with doc.
I made 14 cpl (65 char including spaces) when I had my own account.
My DD is a social worker and says that she dictates directly into VR
and the report is on her desk when she gets back to the office. She said everyone in her department loves it!
Anyone else have the family pet who has to sit directly on your foot pedal? My dog (who is an 80-lb
black lab) has done this all week and will not come out from under my desk. Don't know if it's the weather or what, but it is making me crazy!
I take it you've also been lied to directly by supervisor?
I'd go directly to college, which I've done and I'm in my late 40's too.
A high school diploma these days will buy a cup of coffee and a donut, unfortunately.

Do a search of your C drive for it. I have mine placed directly - sm
in my C drive but usually it is in some obscure place within a file, within a file, etc. Look for "autorecovery" and see what comes up. Then the file will not be named "Smith ltr" or whatever but with letters and numbers, go by the date modified column (list details) for the date and time of the file. Hope this helps.

Any time you're adding formatting like bold or italics you need to tick the formatted text option to save that formatting.
