In the past month I have had many many requests for help with getting new clients, how to do short-cuts, drug lists for new clients, etc.  I would love to help you all out but right now going through some family health issues -- not me -- and quite busy so please don't get upset when I don't answer as my life is upside down right now.  I wish you all well but right now I just don't have the time to answer one on one questions or give out my tips or drug lists, etc.  Hopefully in the next month more time will become available but right now am maxed out.   Am putting this on the general board as someone just got nasty and upset with me when I e-mailed back that I did not have the time to help out at this time and it took me so "long" to get back to them.   I try to help as much as I can but right now just cannot.  Thanks.

Would anyone be willing to give me the ballpark range for what contractors charge their clients in Florida.....like 13-15 cpl.  Also anyone from California with the same information?

I am just starting out and I don't want to low-ball anyone!  Thanks!

If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.

I hate to see them mislead people like that though.  It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed.  There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.

would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'

Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 

So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.

is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.

I'm trying to understand.  Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive?  If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?

If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are.  If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.

Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type.  You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.
