I can't help with cost effective comparisons, but
C phone is basically a glorified telephone. It sends additional signals besides just your normal phone beeps. For example if the dictation system has a certain tone it requires for "next job" you can program your c-phone to match that, so that when you press the button, it gives you the next report. Your programming information you find with your phone, the system information you get from your work or client.
There are several brands of C-phones out there of varying affordability.
Hope that helps and apologies in advance if it's not what you're looking for. Good luck!
cost effective approach???
Okay, I am ready to start out with my own "company". I don't want the inconvenience of tapes yet the equipment to setup my own dial-up service is prohibitively expensive. Does anyone provide cost effective services where I can offer a 800 dial up service? OR, any rental options? Is anyone using this kind of service? What does it cost? Thanks.
quality apparently isn't cost-effective,
so it's time for us all to be very afraid - not only for our jobs, but for the accuracy of our personal medical records and those of the people we love.
I thought I had a career for life, but I was so wrong.
USATasp is an easy to use, EXTREMELY cost effective solution.

Thanks for the post. This is exactly what I needed. Wasn't sure exactly how to figure. Both are

This would put me over the edge
It's depressing enough to be looking. It sounds like this HR person needs a lesson in reality. I would surely look elsewhere or you will "label" yourself. Please think about it first and keep looking. This is an insult.
on the edge of burnout
It sounds like you're on the edge of burnout. I was there a few years ago. You just have to force yourself to stop working at 5 (or whenever your shift is done) and close the door and not look back at that computer.

Yes, keystroke lag is sending me over the edge.

I too think this is very unprofessional. We at MDI-MD may be a littleon edge to be out of work..sm
to say the least and many of us are probably going to be forced to leave a company we have enjoyed due to that fact, but never at any time have I been treated unfairly or unkindly there. We should all act like the professionals we claim to be.
More: "cutting edge," "pushing the envelope." nm

I would not give up that information freely either. That is what gives you the leading edge for cli
You are not a horrible person.
Do not be so free to give your business information out to anyone - it will cost you in the long run. It is a good business decision.

That's one of the most effective things any MT (sm)
can do currently, and individually. Set a higher personal minimum than the shameful "national average", and stick to it. Every drop in the bucket counts. If US MTs (AND editors, by the way!)demand a fair wage, it won't matter how much work they think they can send offshore, if they can't get any quality workers to clean it up for them. Editors, you are totally being GYPPED! You not only have to know MT inside and out, but you have to sit there and stare at someone else's work, while listening to the doctors drone on and on. You're considered the last line of defense before the finished work goes off to the doc for a signature. You should be making MORE every year, not LESS! You, too, are putting yourselves *on sale* if you accept the paltry pay the nationals offer you.
I wondered if it would be effective
To train a voice recognition to your voice, listen to the dictation and just restate it into your VR. Seems if the software learns you well, there'd be very little keyboarding needed. No more carpal tunnel, and typing speed would be irrelevant.
Anyone use this method?
Wouldn't it be more effective....
if you did not mention the MT business. I think the larger scale of things is more effective - 30 MILLION jobs, AT LEAST, and counting. As I mentioned, that is the equivalent of the total population in 3 U.S. states!! Talk about this hurting Uncle Sam's income. I did not want to sound like a small group of typists who make no difference in the grand scheme of things. Share your letter with us, will you?
Oops! .. Fever few probably not effective for
headaches related to tension/muscle strain.
As we all know, the only effective way to lose weight
is diet and exercise. I have tried MediFast, SlimFast, phentermine, all of them. In the end, the only that really worked and help maintain my figure is eating right and exercise, exercise and more exercise.
I always wanted the fast road to a "skinny" body, but guess way, the weight crept back on faster than I lost it. So, I decided to just eat right, limit fatty foods and carbs, and exercise. I joined a gym and go 3x a week. It really does stimulate you.
Good luck to you, but really none of those plans work unless you change your lifestyle.
I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

Thank you for this info!! Texas has passed law to be effective sept. 1, 2006!!!! nm

Your insurance benefits will be effective through the period of time you have paid them which...sm
could be the end of the week or the end of the month or the day that the company calls the insurance company to cancel them. You cannot depend on thinking if you quit in the middle of the month you will be covered through the end of the month. You have to find out exactly from your company. Also for COBRA benefits you are eligible for up to 18 months or perhaps longer in special circumstances but yes you have to pay the premium all by yourself, the company doesn't chip in at all. The plus side is you are still in a group plan. You cannot get individual insurance unless you have NOTHING at all wrong with you, no high blood pressure, no depression, nothing. It is very important to not have a lapse in coverage greater than 60 days. If you do, you will lose coverage for any preexisting conditions when you go to your next GROUP insurance (this is the other part of HIPAA - portability). If for example you are covered for high blood pressure and you don't choose COBRA and your insurance lapses for more than 60 days, when you get on the next group plan, they will not cover your high blood pressure M.D. visits or medications for up to 1 year.
You can get relatively cheep individual coverage if you choose a high deductible, to carry you through. That is, if you can get it. Good luck.
Most recent Consumer Reports magazine did an article about this. Most effective was hormone replac

Ginger ale. Ginger. It's proven effective for upset stomach.
You can buy a tummy tea or ginger/peppermint tea at the organic store. You can use powdered ginger if you have some in your cupboard. I just sprinkle a tiny bit on my finger and put it on my tongue. Even Mythbusters proved ginger was effective against motion sickness.

cost??
Why is Andrews so much higher than Career Step? Do you think it's worth it in the end?
cost?
You will not be disappointed with Career Step. It is affordable, thorough and helpful.
TAT cost
A few years back, we got a mass email out of my office about just how much the out of TAT issue had cost over a particular week...somewhere in the ballpark of over 30 grand for just the top 3 major accounts.
Yes, we've been told that the company has to pay hefty fines to the accounts for not being within TAT. Not sure how it is today, but I can't assume much has changed.
CMT cost?
how much does it cost to take the test to be CMT?
It DOES cost a lot more to be IC - SM
On top of the self-employment tax, etc., you don't get the benefit of your company paying 1/2 of your social security so that is where most of your money at tax time goes to. If you are an employee, they match what you pay into social security so it's not as much. I went through the same thing and decided it was not worth my time to work any extra as an IC. I saw the difference in the taxes I paid. Good luck to you.
You can, but it's going to cost you. sm
Several references on Google that will cost you between $40 and $80 for a search, but it would have to be worth what you're looking for before coming up with that kind of money and I really thing that these sites will not give you adequate information.
Check with your post office. They may not be able to give you information, but if you or someone you know is getting unwanted mail from a P.O. box address, they can stop it for you.

cost
Don't know if you ever got an answer for that. I purchased a model 0421 a couple month ago. While this is an older model, it works just as well as long as you get an honest seller. They are expensive and you tend to go out on a limb when trusting that they one you are buying actually works. I paid $145 for mine. Total w/S&H was 170, which was an excellent deal. Either deal through ebay or this site. You can find them in the 150-175 range. Read instructions on ebay closely some say not tested. I actually emailed a seller and gave him him a number of how to test the machines and he was tickled to death. He had no clue what the machine was for. I would say buy a used one before spending the money on a new one. There are a lot of these floating around for sale that have just been collecting dust because people are downloading off the internet. Nothing wrong with the machine, these people just have no use for the machines right now.
You say it does not cost you anything? How about your
time? That is worth something, isn't it? Time is money in my book that I could be working instead.
It doesn't cost $800 either
Can't imagine a chair more comfortable that it.. i'm sure the Aeron is built much better, though. I noticed it does have a 12-year guarantee.
Sorry! Forgot the cost! They can run anywhere
from $10 to $50 range - definitely under $20 last I saw, which was only a few months ago.
the problem with that is the cost
Before deciding to get a BA in psych, I looked at many different quick fix schools. I was interested in cooking, the cheapest school is 15,000 up front, nine month course. Was also interested in aesthetics, 6000 bucks! If they would offer pay as you go for these schools so you could pay cash, that would be more feasible. Collins college, DeVry, all in the thousands. I pay about 500+ per semester...sure it will take me years BUT I think a BA degree opens many doors. The person who says it doesn't is crazy!
Cost of going digital
I am trying to decide if it's worth it to get a local office to go digital. They don't even have a website, so technology is not their thing. I assume that because of this I would still have to print/drop off reports? Is that right? This is a very small office, so I don't want to spend a lot of money to try to do this. When I try to do an internet search, there is way too much information that is way too complicated. I just want to know what I would need for the most basic setup. Anything advice/help you can offer would be helpful. Thanks! LL
we went last May, cost us a fortune!
Our expenses were for 2 adults....
We actually did one of those timeshare tours so we could get 3 nights free at our hotel. So we paid for 4 nights = $400, there was supposed to be a shuttle going to/from the parks but that didnt work out so we had to rent a car (dont remember how much that was), Disney tickets for a 4-day park hopper pass was nearly $500, Universal 2-day tickets were about $200, cab from the airport was about $80, food was very expensive - about $100 day.
We flew JetBlue & i thought they were wonderful & reasonably priced. I want to say our flight was a total of about $400-500.
All-in-all, I'd say about $2500 for the whole trip including gift shopping & food.
total cost
Total cost of $60 for two phone lines, which includes taxes, etc. It also includes call waiting and voice mail. But my C-phone line has nothing on it, no call waiting, etc. by my choice. First month on my residential phone is free because they are just starting up in my area.
Had you complained that you did not okay all this, they probably would have taken off the cost

I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Is the cost less if you are in India. Why do I think it probably is?

Pay their own operating cost sm
This is not for the MT to pay for heaven sakes, this is the MTSO operating expenses, (the cost to do business, it is THEIR CLIENT) It is all a bunch of bull and the MTs are thinking, well--ll okay-yyyy I guess.
Cost and other things
It is a little costly, but don't forget, you are buying food anyhow. It might be a little more, but you won't be buying your Twinkies, etc. ;-)
I did NS after my first baby about 100 years ago and did lose the weight and managed to keep it off until I went to work at home. I don't know how the program has changed since then.
After gaining a whole bunch when I went home to work, I tried WW and lost nearly 80 pounds and pretty much maintained it, up and down 10.
I like WW because they painlessly teach you how to eat right. It's a reprogramming of sorts and it really works.
Whatever you choose, good luck!!
Medispell cost me $39.
Also did not include most drugs.
cost of transcription
I am hoping that someone can help me. I am wanting to go into business for myself. I actually have the physicians lined up, but I am having a problem with cost. It seems to be a big secret on how much MT companies charge the physicians. Is there a ballpark figure? Do they charge by the line or how do they charge? And how much? Any help or information I get can would be helpful. Thanks.
Cost of food
I was spending over $75 a week for three meals and one snack a day and that was over five years ago (not sure how it is now). If you are single, not too bad. If you have to also feed a spouse/family and buy regular food as well it is rough. It works though ;)
DocShuttle. Does it really cost $269 to get it?
Or am I looking at the wrong thing? I'd love to apply for a position that needs this but cannot afford that big a bite in my finances. Any help is appreciated!
Buy by hub by Targus - cost about $80 from a
computer store. This is not an adapter. It has various kinds of ports. I hooked my pedal to it and it worked fine - play, forward and reverse.
4 cpl goes further when cost of living is less. nm
Ditto here...the cost of some her..
favorite things could feed some people for a month! She has no regard for the poor in her own country. You would think with her humble beginnings she would remember a thing or two...guess money can buy a selective memory! I agree, she is a snoot!
