think you need to contact the medical review
try the insurance company's medical review board for a reassessment of your bill(s). Good luck! 
I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.
What is the key command to
I saw it awhile back but can't find it now.
Highest pay is anything you get paid. They still owe me
.
TY here, too. Would I be able to disable that w/ just a key command?

the command to slow down
.
All I can say is make sure you have the highest - sm
Kbps modem available, 56?. That is what I use, the highest connection I can get is 44. If I get lower than that I just disconnect and try again until I get that or at least 33. Even if you do get satellite, most companies don't allow that anyway, so it's DSL, cable or no job. DSL is so close to me now, but I still don't have it, a friend has it who is 6 miles from me, but I don't, something to do with the towers (though I have 1 about 1.5 miles from me). What I find funny is Verizon offering high-speed DSL that is only 756 Kbps, that is not much faster than I get now with dial-up, makes me wonder a bit about it, thought DSL was faster than that, or are there different levels of DSL like dial-up connections? Anyway, I feel your pain, all I can say is try to find a job that uses FTP, has a 24 hr. TAT, and then it does not matter what type of connection you use. My daily downloads take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on the size of my voice files, don't matter though. I don't see why it matters to any MTSO what you have since usually you are working on a file while another is downloading, there ususally is no downtime due to the length of the download other than that first one. Whatever.
35 years here and highest 8

In Extext, is there a keyboard command
to slow down or speed up dictation? I'm trying to retrain myself to keep hands on keyboard, but I keep having to slow down and speed up different dictators. I have the little control open on my desktop, but it seems to require the mouse to change the speed. Is that right?
You have to create it with the bold command
s
20+ years here and still the highest offered
Consider yourself lucky if you've been offered more than 8 cpl for an MTSO. Now your own accounts is a different story. I make way more with my own accounts.
Any1 know how to run the spellcheck command in WP 5.1?
TIA :-)
Its the highest rate I have heard of for IC work
I have not heard of rates that high where I live (Tampa, FL.) The highest I have heard for IC work is 12/13 cpl and thats pretty rare!
If thats pretty common in your area then dont back down, but around here that would be considered very high.
Hope it all works out!
Perhaps vacuuming is your highest calling in life...

I think Medtrans Unlimited pays the highest sm
They are in Austin,TX. Once at six months, it is 1.70 per regular minute and 2.12 a stat minute. On lines accounts it is .08 reg, .10 stat gross line. The company is strict and picky, and the software technical. However, you can easily make $1,000 a week there.
You can still use WP 5.1 on Win XP computers. Just go to the command prompt and install it. nm

AOL lists today that MT is one of highest WAH jobs!!
Look at the model they used...that's sure what the average MT looks like! LOL

Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
I think I participated in that; certainly fit in the highest %tile in just about all categories.

I agree we should have a command of the English language...sm
I do. This is from the American Heritage Book of English usage in regard to collective nouns. You see, I also have a degree in English and also taught. I do know the rules for collective nouns.
"Some nouns refer to a group but are singular in form. These nouns are called collective nouns. In American usage, a collective noun takes a singular verb when it refers to the collection considered as a whole."
Doubting this seriously myself. Even the highest producers here don't crank it out that fast. nm

You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
Volume Setting Command for Transnet/ExText
Anyone there who knows how to "permanently" set the volume for Transnet/ExText speech? I know to double-click on the volume icon to raise the volume for "Each Report", but not how to do it "permanently". I did it once by accident, but with recent upgrades, it wiped it out again. Anyone? Thanks!
Last time I checked, even MTs use the English language and we should have a command
of that language and that includes all the rules and regs taught from gradeschool on up. Now, it's totally up to you if you choose to be an AHDI robot. I acknowledge that a lot of MTSOs use the BOS as their guideline and if you work for those MTSOs, then you are obligated to follow "their" rules if you want your paycheck, but that does not mean that the rule book is correct. Quite simply, it is not. A group of retired MTs got together, had a meeting, and decided to make up a set of rules. Then they had a really fantastic marketing team that set out to market those rules as the end-all, be-all of medical transcription. They definitely found a willing audience for the crap they were peddling and they capitalized on it. I guess that's the American dream -- making a bundle of money of a bunch of suckers willing to pay, no questions asked.
I, however, choose to buck the system. I'm a noncomformist, I guess. I earned my bachelor's in English before I decided to become an MT. I believe it's important to be able to express oneself articulately and intelligently using the written word. I dislike what texting, email, and chat rooms have done to the English language (witness above post "wannbe MT ur opinions..."!!!!!).
Oh well, that's just me. I work for a hospital that could care less about the AHDI and its BOS. In my spare time, I wage my anti-BOS and anti-AHDI campaign in the hopes that MTs will wise up and MTSOs will too.
Set up your tabs first - then use the hanging indent command Ctrl+T

How much is the highest/lowest pay for an MT working in CorTmedical? Kindly reply.
 I'm just curious to know how much do they pay an MT who just started working with them. Thanks.
That should highest paid work at home jobs...look at number 7 to see the pic and listing!
That picture sure made me laugh. :)
Just create a command entry and use a short form that's fast to type. sm
This will bypass the Extext command. Make sure you put the trailing underscore at the end of your entry so you won't get an extra space from your marker key. Your entry will look like this:
{command}{Alt.}_
My favorite speciality is the office who dictates it and pays the highest line rate.
It's the money, honey, that matters to me.
Any Stedman SmartType users? Pros & Cons? Will it retain bold formatting without using DOS command
DOS commands like ShortHand does?
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition. Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book. These are all the books I use the most during my day. You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.
I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.
Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot. It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.
Medical Transcription In The Era Of Electronic Medical Records
EMR has revolutionized the healthcare industry in recent times. Many experts felt that EMR & Voice Recognition would totally replace Medical Transcription - however; the industry soon realized that transcription has certain advantages over point & click charting and many physicians preferred to dictate notes rather than document the data at the point of care themselves.
Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
At ease, soldier! This isn't a medical document. I repeat, this isn't a medical document. nm

I've thought about coding. My DH does medical coding and I think with an MT's medical termino
background and anatomy and physiology knowledge, a transition into coding wouldn't be hard at all. From what I can tell by looking through my husband's books, an MT would have to learn insurance regulations and legalities. We've basically got all the medical background down or we should be if we're worth our salt as an MT.
I even contacted AHIMA and found that the qualifications for taking the CCS or CCP coding exams are completion of the a coding program, RHIT program, or RHIA or related work experience. Transcription is part of HIM, albeit the red-headed stepchild of the HIM department, but a part nonetheless and so satisfies the qualification of having work experience.
The test is tough though. My husband didn't pass it his first time out and I think I read something like only 20% or so pass it the first time. So it would probably be best to take some sort of formal coding class, in my opinion.
Did anyone contact HR at MQ yet?
If anyone has yet contacted HR at MQ, please post underneath what was said to you.
Be sure to contact the doc and tell him! nm

How can we contact you?
There is quite a bit of due diligence required if you are planning to seel a business. The "typical" selling price of a business is 3 years revenue, but that is also based very strongly on its profitability, but I do have a group of independent MTs who may be interested.
I would contact that QA or his/her
supervisor and ask them to relisten.
I would contact...
the person that makes this program. I have had good customer service from him. It s/l something might not be set up correctly perhaps but Vann Joe would probably give you some help/tips if you asked. He has always been very helpful when I have asked questions regarding his products.
I have been using MP Count for quite some time for counting by gross line, and find it quite accurate.
HTH some.
contact me
I would like to discuss this with you, please contact me at my email address.
Thanks
Nothing that big, he was not there when I tried to contact
about it, sent instant message. it was report that always goes under STAT and I think had to let someone read over some blanks. He contacted me that night and we talked about it and I got it ok but then I had follow up wrist slapping the next workday from the higher up than him. What I was wanting to know does this go on with others, first 1 boss, then another boss- felt like tattling in grammer school with this.
I came in contact with them (sm)
And they gave me the simplest *test* which was basically not even medical dictation, and they tell you that they will *train* you and then provide you with a job, but first you have to buy *their* software. Fortunately I did not fall for their scam, but others have said that after your *training* and they test you, you never really get good enough for placement. Please believe the other posters. It is a huge scam.
Get rid of them (and if you pay well, contact me! LOL) nm
x
I would contact whoever is over you....sm
And explain to them and let them see who is right and who is wrong. Some QAers may need to be corrected.
You can also contact (sm)
AccuSTAT, Inc. in Wisconsin. They posted an add several days ago on the Job Seeker's Board for an ER transcriptionist. They appear to have a really good reputation. 
Thanks I will contact them...
Does anyone know if it also works with Emdat Inscribe then?
You really need to contact your sm
prosecutor's fraud unit and see how they suggest you proceed. You really need to be careful in posting her name and address because since you are an IC and she the "debtor" you may be putting your self at the very least in violating debt collection laws - penalties are not cheap. I believe you posted this a few weeks ago, right? Did you send that formal demand with return receipt giving her a deadline to pay? That's the first thing they (authorities) will ask for. $16k plus is a HUGE chunk of change. I really think you will need to resort to legal matters to collect, and probably by judgment. I know it's frustrating, but posting her name and address on the internet is liable to cost you much more than the $16K.
Can someone please tell me how to contact IRS...
anonymously to report an MTSO who is dictatorial in setting schedule and pay? I'm literally SICK of this and I am going to DO something instead of complaining about it. Maybe if just one individual does something about these cheapo, demanding MTSOs, it will stop after time. Thanks for the info!
