Has anyone ever been through a PEER Review? I have a PEER review on Friday and am not sure what questions will be asked. The position is for a part time data entry clerk in a Diagnostic Imaging Center. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have peer interview tomorrow.

I am interview for an in-house position.  I had the interview and a week later I was called for the peer review.  Never been on a peer interview and don't know what to expect...any ideas?  I plan to just be myself just like in the interview.


Tough line requirements (1500 line/day) but I'm optimistic.  I hope to gain tips with short cuts to qualify for incentive programs, etc. if I am chosen for the job.


 


 


Sorry - I meant to say a PEER interview.

This dumb-and-dumber peer pressure is the pits. And kids with higher
great IQ still means we are all human, and frail, and forgetful, etc, etc, etc. stuff like that happens to me. I tell my son it's because I'm pondering quantum physics, just to make him grin!
REVIEWS FOR FAILURE
The things being taken off on for the review is pathetic too. "During this hospitalization" being marked wrong because the reviewer states the dictation said "during this hospital stay", etc. and so on. These so called reviews are jokes. We are educationed professionals and don't appreciate slave driver tactics.
Mixed reviews
I can't speak for all of them, but my experience was that while they help in terms of lowering interest, you are still going to be stuck for years and years because that is the name of the game with credit card sharks...

The politicians have made it even easier for the cc companies to "enslave"
people by making is really really hard to declare bankruptcy - and there are many legitimate reasons for filing bankrupt. NOtice how minimum payments went up right after that law passed? It's no accident.

You can usually tell which companies are professional and which aren't... but pay close attention to the fees you are paying them to cut your interest... They get a kickback from the credit card companies on top of that fee - make sure it's not out of bounds. Good luck (free advise: cut up all cards except for one!).
WEBMEDX - reviews?
Not enough work at my current job - need a company that offers ER-only work.  Anyone work for them that could share an opinion?  Would love also to hear how much they pay.  Thanks so much!
Thanks. It seems to get such good reviews..
It is slowing me down so much, but now I have to start all over again.  8(  oh well....
Check reviews.
Horrible with both suppliers. Law suits, etc.
For anyone who reviews records, how do you charge?

Many moons ago when I worked for a medical group and the transcription work ran low, I asked if I could take a stab at summarizing records for medical-legal patients.  It was a nice change of pace, and the doctors loved getting out of this chore.  As an employee, I was paid my usual hourly wage.  If anyone does this as an IC, how do you charge for it?


I'm thinking by the hour would be the only way to go unless it were really straight-foward, i.e., reviewing reports in the order received, date of report, name of provider, basically copy typing test results, diagnosis, and conclusions. 


Some doctors might ask that the HPI, PMH, etc. be read through, looking for discrepancies in the history or pre-existing similar conditions and commenting on that, which can take a good deal of time to do to come up with a short line indicating no discrepancies, making cpl not the way to go. 


I know different areas of the country would charge different rates, so I'm not looking for specific charges but a general rule of thumb, if there is such a thing.  If you charge by the hour (or by the line), how does that compare to what you make per hour (or per line) doing straight transcription? 


Thanks for any input!

Well, I've heard rave reviews about (sm)

The Surgery Word Book too.  I'm thinking of make it the next book on my wish list.  I recently purchased the Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words, but from what I understand now I should have gone with the Surgical Word Book instead.  Oh well, never can have enough books can we? 


 


I have found great reviews on Kapersky. Do you know if...
they offer a free trial? I just downloaded Webroot Internet Security and it's "supposed" to be pretty good. I've got it free for 14 days. Thanks!
Hourly wage for Med Rec Reviews in Cali
It's been many years since I've charged for med record reviews and have no clue what the going rate may be.  They are for QME reports.  Anyone have any idea on what would be fair to both parties?  Thank yew!!!
I think the amount of work sent to QA is is very bad idea to limit that. I can understand QA reviews
but to limit the amount of work to QA to get a bonus which is my understanding will cause people to not send things to QA when the dicator makes an obvious error and you dont want to chance correcting it. There are extremely bad dictators and depending on where they are dictating the noise can be horrendous on the phone lines or cells or whatever they are doing. My goodness, you have an attitude.
