Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now
cannot download the old one, as it has been replaced by some new version, which I don't like. Can anyone recommende a good line counting program. Thanks.
Invoice program
Has anyone tried Quickbooks Simple Edition 2007. If so, do you like it?
FlashCount Invoice Program...
I would love to use MT Stars FlashCount for invoicing, although I cannot seem to find a solution on how to get the typed reports to the program without having to click on each one by the patients last name. It would just be too time consuming and not worth it if that is how it needs to be done. Is there a trick to this? I do about 300 reports a week for 4 doctors (and I save all reports for about a month on my computer), so I am looking for the quickest and most dependable way to invoice.
Thanks for any and all advice.
Invoice program - user friendly
I currently use Abacus for line counting. I need a separate program for line counting and hourly work that is very user friendly. Any advice?
10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

I meant that you had to trust your line counting/invoice program, not the employer! :) nm

MTStars free program is wonderful and puts out a professional invoice!!! nm

I personally don't like MPCount and they way the invoices look.
Need help with invoice...
Does anyone have any samples or know where I can obtain some. I have looked everywhere. I did a fill-in transcription job for the past week and now I need to submit an invoice, but I have never done one. Please help!!!
No, you don't have to invoice.
No, you don't have to invoice. They take the lines from the line counter which I have been having trouble with lately, don't know about you. It seems like I am doing an awful lot more work than getting credit for.
Their invoice
Did you use their invoice form? If not, he will not pay nor contact you saying why.
That 08/16 invoice was my last one...
She is in Florida and I'm not, so I can't stop by in person. I don't have her phone number, but I can probably find it. Maybe that's what I'll try.
Invoice only
I use Syncount for my character accounts and MS word for gross line accounts. I like Quick Books because I keep my checking account on it, invoicing, etc. It shows me where I am at anytime during the year compared to last year, etc. Just helps in tracking expenses and income.
Invoice
I use Quick Books to do my invoice and do a total for each doctor in the clinic (one line each) it automatically put in the per line charge and enters th entire charge. I also keet a spreas sheet for my 5 accounts (9 docs) and update it sometimes daily or weekly but keep track by day. Since some accounts are charged different rates it keeps track of my monthly income and I can project by the 15th whether or not I will be able to eat the next month. I then highlight each clinic at the end of the month and attach it to their invoce. My accounts like that as it shows what doctor did on each day. In my 18 years of doing this have never been questioned on any of my invoices.

Invoice
I keep a spread sheet going in Excel showing by date and doctor (I have 3 clinics, 6 docs) their daily line counts. I do my invoices in Quick Books showing monthly totals by doctor for that clinic taken from my spreadsheet and print a copy of the spread sheet -- showing only their line counts and attach it. I like the spreadsheet as it tells me if I am on target for the month, etc. The Quick Book keeps my totals for tax time. As I have said many time, the simpler for me the more time I can spend typing making money. Any more questions, E-mail me and I will try and help with more details. Patti
Dummy invoice on its way. :) (nm)
I have always done it on invoice and letter
One letter and a reminder at the bottom of the invoice. The letter should state the expenses issue if you don't feel that was taken into consideration before. :)
Since you are an IC, don't you submit an invoice that...SM
your client should pay you from? If that isn't how you're doing it, then you are an employee NOT an IC. You are at the mercy of the MTSO.
transfer & invoice
I use PractiCount for line counting & invoicing. I've used Sylvan as well & I think PractiCount is way superior, plus it's cheaper. For one thing, you can drag & drop from a file tree. All the files you are counting don't have to be in the same folder. I found this annoying with Sylvan. PractiCount does everything Sylvan does, and then some, only better.

Invoice format question
This is my first account. This is the format I'd like to use for my invoice. I want to be 100% sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks so much! I'm open to suggestions.

I would charge them for the itemized invoice -nm

When I use a subcontractor, I pay them as soon as their invoice is turned in to me.
I consider it a good business practice to pay the sub as soon as their invoice is submitted. After all, don't you expect the client your contract with to do the same for you. You really should have paid this $100 invoice long before now. You have no recourse and should consider this a lesson learned.
Personally, I don't think you have any business subbing out work if you're no more prepared to pay and, apparently, are careless with the information that your sub receives from you. You could also be considered breeching confidentiality if you're not having the sub sign some sort of understanding regarding the confidential nature of the work you're sending out.
attach a letter to your next invoice sm
Outline the reasons for your rate increase -- make sure they are BUSINESS reasons, not personal ones (I need to buy new shoes for my babies). Cite rising fuel costs if you pick up and deliver, cost of living increase, stuff like that. Tell them it will be effective something like invoice after next (depending on how often you invoice -- you just need to give them a reasonable amount of time to decide what they want to do) if you do not hear from them otherwise.
Now is a good time to look at your overall rate structure. Should you be charging them for things other than a flat rate per line? Trip charges? STAT charges? Waiting time charges? Clerical work, like digging up old reports that they lost?
If you think they might pull the ole "we never received that letter" trick, then send it to them certified mail or hand deliver it to whoever it needs to go to.
If I'm an IC and I don't get paid what I invoice but rather what they decide I really made, am
really an IC at all. Their line counter program, not mine, they decide so why should I even invoice?
Can you run a dummy invoice and email it? We would like to see if there is a problem & if so

I submit an invoice, they mail me a check. - nm

yepper - automatic deduction from invoice
and was not told about it before the fact - just that the account was switching over - was sent the e-mail about "rental" after the fact - then when the foot pedal broke they wanted to charge me for the replacement. Hello? It's a RENTAL??? I still work there but am branching out. It is not the norm.
Any Soft Script Employees invoice question?
I am new at soft script and wondering if anyone knows if I'm suppose to invoice or is it automatic???? Help anyone
Silly question, I know, but do you have "Thank you" at the bottom of your invoice?
Seriously, I am making up an invoice template and need to know if most people put "Thank you" on the bottom of their invoices. I cannot find any on the ones that I have recieved from other companies, but then again, I only have a few.
Thanks~
needing info on billing/invoice programs
Can anyone give me a good program to invest in that would allow me to keep a line count and also provide invoices? Also, is there a recommended HIPAA approved transferring site to transfer files through the net? Thanks a bunch!
As an IC you invoice the company, count your own lines, and receive a paycheck.
First Choice, JLG, QT Medical, Metro in Atlanta, just to name a few.
Most use SylCount or something similar. I used Abacus - free line counting software.
Submit invoice; get check. Won't give bank account
.
can you suggest a good software program
to compare with the line counts being given by the hospital? I am also in the same boat, but I can access my line count. I would like an independent way of counting my lines, because you never know, right? What a world.
MPCount software
You might want to ask your IT department if this software will work with their program. So far, I haven't found one that works with my company's program, which is Dictaphone ExText; in fact, everything I've tried has caused problems and had to be uninstalled. If anyone knows of a program that won't interfere with ExText, I'd love to know about it.
Anyone know where I can get the old MPCount software that was a free download?
I know that it is now part of MPTools or something like that and you have to pay for it, but I just want the old version.

I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
What software program are you using?
What software program are you using to run the foot pedal? I downloaded Express Scribe (free) and my Infinity foot pedal works great with that.
I hope you find the problem. I know how frustrating things like this can be. Keep us posted.
You are right when you say Arrendale is a software program. sm
This person apparently is trying to stir up trouble, apparently has nothing better to do than to try and stir it up. It won't work on this one because Arrendale is a software program. Back when YOG was around, the owner of YOG had signed an agreement with the then Arrendale Associates (who originally started out in NC). They sold the software or whatever to this co, but IT IS ONLY SOFTWARE.
calendar software program
AnyTime Deluxe offers a number of different options for reminders to pop up, also with various sounds
I think maybe I am misunderstanding, but Arrendale is a software program
something like ChartScript, I thought. Maybe I am wrong, but I can't see Giselle outsourcing to India or anywhere else, but who knows, maybe. I have been wrong before.
They say their MTs are in the US. That is fact. Arrendale is a software program. sm
If the company that owns Arrendale is in India, so what? It is a software program just as is Vianeta, which they also use for their work. JLG does not outsource their work.
Is the Dorlands a software program or book and ... sm
did you find the Dorlands with the Stedmans spell check for only 49.95??? That sounds like a great deal!!! thanks for the info!

Line count software/program
I am in need of a new line count program. Mine is on a floppy disk (yes, it's that old) and I no longer have access to a floppy drive.
What is a good/reliable program to use?
It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
Which HIPAA E-mail Software Program for OE is easiest/best?
I provide service for an office of three OB-GYNs and the OM/docs may be willing to consider going from hand-held microcassette to hand-held digital recorders (mean no more pickup-delivery of dictation/transcription for me!). I would like to utilize a very (hopefully) simple HIPAA compliant encrypted E-mail program for transferring of files in Outlook Express that will work on my own computer as well as the office's Linux network.
I have found one that appears to offer all of the above features I am looking for and seems reasonably priced called CenturionMail, found at the link provided. Is anyone familiar with this program and/or any others that they would highly recommend? I need something simple as we are all new to this adventure.
My goal is to some day be on the road in our RV, setup with a laptop, and felt an E-mail program would be my best choice for utilizing a campground's Internet connection for uploading/downloading of files. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for any feedback you can offer me. I sincerely appreciate it.
C-phone + Word versus software program
What I'm trying to say is that it seems more time consuming to use a C-Phone and Word rather than a software program because everything is just a click away with a program, whereas with a C-phone and Word you have to dial in, do paperwork, send work through e-mail, create templates, etc, etc. Seems much more efficient to use a program thereby saving time and making more $$$. (You can probably tell I'm still fairly to this). TIA
Ask the techs where you work. Probably software issue with their program. nm
s
once you use Express scribe to program it should work with any USB compatible software too.
