Urology, domiciliary notes, general surgery, clinic notes, etc. I didn't think it was too bad at all. I liked the long comp & pen notes myself. The psych ones in particular would be 20-30 minutes of dictation on average for me. Some days I'd get slugged with them, but I certainly didn't get them daily.

Worker's Comp Reports
Hi everyone...I just started typing worker's compensation reports (initials, fu,supps) as well as EMG/NCV reports and PI. What is the charge in the industry? I am hearing anywhere from $7.00/page to 1.35 per audio minute. Most reports are from 7 minutes to 15 minutes so per the inute does not seem right. Anyone out there type medical/legal reports??
Thanks :)
Psych reports all the way
My faves are psych reports, then social service evals, then ERs (gotta love the gore) then everything else kind of falls after that. Ops have got to be my nemesis, I hate them, but I do them anyway and smile as I do them (it helps to smile )
Psych Reports
Psych reports can differ in the amount of pages depending on the physician and what kind of report. But go with you gut instinct as to whether this is the move for you or not. It sounds like a good deal, but gas prices are still high though they are going down a little.
Psych reports/anxiety
This might help; When nurses attend college, one of the first thngs they are told is "do not identify with patients' symptoms"! It might be worthwhile talking to your supe, taking him/her into your confidence but the results may be as you anticipated. Psych can be upsetting, especially if you are compassionate. If no help from supe, the Valerian is a good idea, or a cup of soothing tea and trying not to relate - if you can, "block."
Considering a company with lots of ER reports...
have never done these. Are they harder than acute care hospital? 
I've typed LOTS of reports on trampoline injuries
Some of them VERY severe, including head injuries when the person bounced off the trampoline and landed on his/her head.
ANYTHING can be dangerous if you aren't careful. Way back in the disco era, I typed a report on a guy who had fractures of ALL FIVE metatarsals - from dancing!! 
BBQ, slaw, cornbread, ham, casseroles, lots of veggies, chicken pastry, lots of desserts!! BIG fami

Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.

LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

worker's comp
Yes you get seen, tell the Doctor/hospital it is a worker's compensation case, they send the bill to the boss, but sometimes the bosses don't like the fact that their premiums may go up because of cases filed against them. This happened to my son, boss made him feel it was his fault for getting hurt on the job, cried about it, then changed his mind and my son told them at the hospital he got hurt on the job but the boss still has not signed the paperwork, so it is now in collection agency and have to straighten out the bill for x-rays and being seen in the ER. My son broke a finger in his left hand, no big deal, but his boss sure made him feel guilty about filing a claim. My son does not work for this company anymore which is a good thing. Of course giving your husband 100.00 is sure way of telling that something is wrong with his boss, maybe too many claims or maybe he is just afraid his premium will go up.
Workers' comp for IC? Where to get?
I am an IC and have just been told I need to have WC Insurance. Where do I get it? Thanks for your help. suzq
Any MTs out there w/Workers' Comp. (sm)
eval transcription experience in Ortho, Neurology and/or Neurosurgery? How many years' experience do you have, and for which state? I'm wondering if it's a hard transition for someone with non-Workers' Comp Rad experience to transition to Ortho, etc. in WC.
Workman's Comp
The company I work for also was audited and they require their IC MTs to have Workman's Comp insurance. Mine costs around $400.00. I really like this company, so I bought the insurance. It is really ridiculous because you have no employees and I had to exclude myself from the insurance policy as well.
worker's comp
Do not quote me on this, but to my understanding if you are an actual employee and they take taxes out, then yes, worker's comp should cover. If you are an independent contractor, then no.
I was a workers' comp historian in a
hand surgeon's office for two years. He and the hand therapist always said that regular breaks from the keyboard were important to prevent overuse injuries. I saw many cases of permanent disability in computer users who overdid it, and it's not worth it.
Workers' comp can be interesting
depending on the doctor's speciality, but you could get bored very quickly if it's orthopedics. However, you'll never know if they don't send you any work. I would start looking again. Good luck.
copying macros to other comp
this is for MS word. copy normal.dot both from template folder and office folder and paste it to new computer at the same respective places, i.e. copied from template would be pasted to template folder of new computer and so on.
not eligible for worker's comp
unless you are an employee. ICs are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment. ICs are expected to carry their own private disability - like AFLAC, etc. - like we can afford that.
Hate to be a downer, just didn't want you to get your hopes up on that one. Sorry to hear about your wrist. Not a good way to start the year. I would check with local assistance office.
IC Workers Comp Ins. Required?
thought i posted this earlier, cant find it, sorry if its redundant. Im an IC, have been for 8+ years with the same company in MASS. I live in WV. I was contacted last week and was told that the company had been audited and all IC's were required to have Workers Comp insurance. the policy costs $655 a year. anyone have this same requirement? I have other insurance, Aetna major medical, additional accidental death and dismemberment, long-term disability through my husband's employer, AEP. So, is it necessary for me to carry comp ins?
Workers' comp insurance for IC
Does anyone know if there is a law in NY state that you have to have Workers' comp insurance as an IC? I was told by one company that you do and they will not hire me until I have the insurance, but I also saw on this website
Thanks
Yeah, comp time!
I used to deliberately work in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep because it was an extra $2 per hour plus production incentive. Those were the days. We also got quarterly bonuses if the hospital transcription stayed within TAT and accuracy was 98% or better.
The MR reports were being filed. Referring physicians/medical care providers reports were not.
This is a hospital radiology department with in-house MTs and a clerk who is in charge of the report distribution.
It's Workers' Comp - they changed it about five years ago, maybe more nm
:
I use a wireless router and use 3 comp on mine

Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
The two sentence normal reports will balance out the 3 page reports.
I am Wendy too
Thanks..school wont give another copy since I am graduated now...also went to a whole new comp, sm
not just an upgrade. Could not pull the free program off the old one. thanks anyway. Just looking to get by on something inexpensive until I get some $$$ coming in.
I use Oriental Trading Comp. too, but I am crunched for time since other mom backed out on me! Thank

Yes, it's Independent Medical which are normally work comp related and Looooooong...
but very interesting.
Collision or comp doesn't matter. I called my insurance company
when I was hit by someone. I only had liability but their adjuster made sure I got the best deal out of it. My rates didn't go up either.
Maybe psych is just not her cup of tea! Maybe she should
try another speciality. I think everyone has potential somewhere, somehow. She just needs to find her "speciality" if you will.
Unless, she has been on other specialities and her QA score is still that low, then maybe she needs to find another career!
You have a tough job having to QA that - bless you!
Psych MT's
Are any of you Psychiatry only MTs - if so, who do you work for-are they hiring?
Help please with psych (sm)
Switching from WP to "Word," need quick answer on how to avoid automatic numbering as will be using Psych Dx with Axis I, Axis II, etc., how do I do this without numbers "popping up" all over the place? Also, is there a word list or med list for psychiatric only? I am testing for a new acct. in the morning and petrified. I am experienced in the field but don't want to appear like a dunce on my testing due to lack of knowledge of "Word". Don't know which version they are using either. Please answer on board or by e-mail and I shall be forever greatful. Praying.

well, the owner sounds trustworthy,... and they have a lot of VA hospitals.. he didnt tell me what specialty or anything...i just thought i should ask..am really scared of foriegn dictators... never really worked for one. but this is a local co. right down the road from me...
Like GI, ID, Psych
Don't like Rehab-boring, Ophth-boring
psych 101
I've never met my dad, so I do not have a true model for measuring men against. They totally confuse me. I'm very independent and plan on pursuing my own goals. I think coming across a great man would just be a bonus and not a necessity. My most prominent relationship lasted almost a decade, and I remember him being really kind of cold and absent, and I was constantly vying for his attention. If I come across a truly loving nurturing guy, it scares me and I push away alot. I guess having a dad would have made me different, but I am what I am so its all I know.
Psych
We have not yet gotten to Psych reports in school. I am excited to though. I think I would be very interested in them. I take it they are not the money makers?
Psych
Imagine this, typing psych report and patient asked the difference between a cat and a dog? Answer: I don't know I have scr---ed them both. I just about died.

Psych
I worked on a psych account too and though we're not hiring anyone right now, I'm love to find another company to work for but keep doing psych work. So far, no luck.
psych job
There was one posted on mtjobs.com not too long ago. I did a sample report for them but it was a little more time consuming than I was able to take on. I honestly can't remember who it was but go back on that site and look back about two weeks.
Cindi
Anyone do Psych?
Do you have any websites you recommend specific to psych meds, term, etc?
psych
DSM III or DSM IV has all the diagnoses and criteria.
Who has Psych transcription available
I'm seeking psych transcription. If anybody knows of any company who's looking for someone, please advise.
ER psych meds
standard formula given in emergency: Haldol 5 mg, Ativan 2 mg, Benadryl 50 mg
Psych testing (sm)
This is why I like this board. This nice person did answer my question about numbering. This never came up but I found it very helpful and it made me less nervous. BTW, the test was mostly English words and I felt it was a waste of time and did not test my skills as a MLS at all, but that's the way it goes, I guess. Looking for something more challenging.

Psych transcription?
I know that Rodeer used to do a lot of psych transcription back in the day but now they are nonexistent. Does anyone know where and who gets the majority of the country's psych transcription? I know there has to be a ton of it...lol
Psych transcription
I don't know who gets most of the psych transcription in this country, but I do psych transcription for a local clinic that is a mental health facility. I used to work there full-time (in their insurance/business office) plus did their transcription (which meant I was working about 60 hours a week doing full-time in the business office and part-time transcription at home at night). When I left there full-time for another job, they contacted me and asked me to keep doing transcription for them. Well, it is 10 years later and they have also had additional transcriptionists and as of the first of this year, they got rid of everyone else and now I am doing ALL of their transcription (from home!!) and love it!! I know this is a job that I basically fell into, but there have to be some other jobs like this out there. I have also learned a lot doing psych transcription and it is pretty interesting. Hope you find something that meets your needs soon.
I love psych...
I have a few psych accounts, and I love it. I don't get bored at all. The only thing with psych is that at times it can be extremely depressing, and many times I have found myself in tears and in prayer for patients long after I have finished their reports. I also do other specialties, but psych is the only one I don't get bored with. Good luck! I think you'll enjoy psych.
