You are worried about your home? Most of these records go to third world countries. I would rather

HIPAA is a joke, The majority of reports go to 3rd world countries, for pete's sake. nm

donations for the relief coming from 50+ countries, including
-- India is making a $5 million donation to the American Red Cross, Ambassador Ronen Sen said Saturday. In addition, Sen said India was willing to donate essential medicines to the relief effort, noting that India has the largest number of Food and Drug Administration-recognized pharmaceutical companies outside the United States.
As one of the richest countries in the WORLD, it's not odd
that other countries think we can help ourselves. Makes absolute sense to me that no one is offering help.
Reports are going to third world countries, often with out SS#. nm

USA has safeguards that 3rd World Countries DO NOT!
Like your MTSO or ISP company being subpoened to give up your name and address.
Like a city, county, state or federal Attorney General's office who will proceed to charge, prosecute and imprison you for divulging, or worse, blackmailing an institution, like a Pakistani transcriber did, in 2003.
At least we know the American Criminal Justice System can and will prosecute, but what can an American Institution or patient do about violation of privacy or blackmail in India or Pakistan?--VERY LITTLE.
Background checks on MTs fro third world countries?? LoL. Are you serious? nm

Sadly, I agree that more and more jobs are going to go to 3rd world countries. However, that is not

IRS and medical records are other people's business. It's the way of the world, 2006
There is nothing you can hide. Insurance companies have your info and share it with other insurance companies. Medical records are passed from doctor's office to doctor's office, secretary to secretary, MT to MT.
okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
patient records and prisoner records
Does anybody know if our USA prison system is keeping prisoner records in the good old USA, or are those records offshore outsourced too? I am just curious because it seems to me that law enforcement in general does not offshore records, and I was wondering about prisoner records? If anybody knows, please post. Thanks in advance.
What about different countries

You mean the countries of the "irrelevant" UN?
You mean "Old Europe"? You mean the country whose fine wine is poured down the gutters here? You mean that country whose democratically elected leader should be assassinated?
Pop Quiz: In what year did 14,000 French die in a heat wave?
Answer: 2003. Don't you remember all that news coverage we got here and how generous everybody was? Perhaps the freedom fries have affected your memory.
Selling the BOS to MTs in other countries?
Does the AAMT really sell the BOS to MTs in India and Pakistan? Can MTs there belong to the AAMT?
I see the difference, but in other countries...
they consider dogs and cats as food consumption. They were in other countries killing birds over the bird flu which were their pets and some were for food consumption, but they have to kill them all because it travels. They are totally different than we are here in the states when it comes to dogs and cats. I gave up Chinese food for that reason and stick to only Loo mein and hope that it's really a noodle. lol
Outsourcing to other countries
We are the only ones who can do something about this. I wanted to toss around some ideas.
A. We should research and get all the information we need, talk to lawyers and talk to anyone who can help us get started.
B. We should have a new association. American Medical Transcription Association – AMTA. That is just an idea.
C. Picket lines. OFFSHORE NO MORE!! Sorry, I borrowed the phrase from another poster. I hope you don't mind.
D. We should notify news papers, news stations, and talks shows that actually make a difference sometimes (Montel, Oprah……any other ideas for that?)
E. We should notify all clinics, hospitals, doctors, and any/every place in the United States and Canada that need transcription services.
F. We need to notify the general public…refer to D.
G. A specific board, group, or chat room dedicated only to OFFSHORE NO MORE should be created and moderated accordingly.
H. Union? What do we need to do to get this started?
I don't know where to start, but we, collectively, need to do something. I have been wondering we could possibly be (sp?) black balled if our identities are revealed? If so, it won't last forever. Maybe the beginning of all this needs to be the new association and that can be our steppingstone. We can make this better for our future and future MTs. The thing is that we need to do something. We can't just talk about it and complain against it and hope that someone else will do something for us or that someone else will take a stand. We have a voice if do this together. The ball just needs to start rolling….
We might as well face it, we are being taken over by other countries, thanks to our
government. You have got to read this article at

Domestic workers sue, lobby, organize for workplace rights -THESE ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS PEOPLE!
I just want to crawl in a hole and DIE! I am so worried for my children. Soon, the US of A will be owned, run and operated by other countries totally!
UNBELIEVABLE!
unfortunately they send work to other countries
they offshore to other countries from the usa because what's important to most dictators, and again unfortunately, is the cheapest price they will get for transcription......now, I didn't say they would receive good quality MT work back - but they will only be paying 3, 4 or 5 cpl for that offshore work.....so they have chosen to COMPROMISE QUALITY!!!! Blechhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Hey, bombing other countries defeated Hitler.

All other countries expect newcomers to learn

I wonder if CS is ALSO teaching Coding to India & other countries?
I know they teach MT to India and other countries, the latest one being Jamaica.
Yet they still take money from US students, even though they are training overseas to help them take more jobs away.
Dogs are a huge carrier of rabies in developing countries.

I will never work for another company that supports offshoring to overseas countries
As posted above, I have worked for a foreign company. The company had some US MTs working for them and IMO, they were using us to cover up. I think we should personally stick together and stop the nonsense of our US reports going overseas. I do have one question for those who support the Indian companies and any company that offshore overseas...where is your medical information going? Have you thought for one minute that maybe your own SSN and address, etc, might be going overseas?
Maybe nationalist. Everyone else is listing countries of origin. White english speakers at the wor
They like to show off, play with the language. At least the ESLs learn to say it, and always say it the same way, every time. The Caucasian English-speakers are the worst, arrogant, effusive with the language.
TO CONCERNED
Try googling the city, county where he used to live. In my county ALL court records are on the internet now.
I finally divorced my husband of 27 years, he started drinking heavy and became a monster, after the last 5 starting with emotional abuse, refusing intervention (even his family would not talk to him), it took one night and one night only when he got physical and I got my child and myself out and never look back.
It's not easy to start over but once they strike, they can apologize from now to kingdom come, promise it will never happen again but it does.
Contact your local YWCA. They usually have court advocates along with domestic violence hotlines. Please talk to them and they can answer all your questions and give you the support you need.
Get out now before it get's worse. Your in my prayers.

I just want to know WHAT IS UP lately with all of the LOW, LOW, LOW cpl rate being offered on the job seeker's board?????? I thought that the cost of living always went UP, not DOWN, but the pay being offered for medical transcription is RIDICULOUS. I'm sorry, I just have to put in my 2 cents' worth. We work our fingers to the bone, some days all day long, some weeks all week long, if we work at home we are never really away from work, it's too easy to pop into the office and work a little because it's always there, and 5, 6, or 7 cpl????!!!!???? Come ON people! Offer more than that! We are WORTH it!!! We can't feed our families, pay insurance, house payments, car payments, kids' college tuition, etc., on these sorely low amounts. I mean, there are newbies out there who will gladly those offers, and I'm certainly not knocking newbies, I was once one myself, but most all of the job offers I've looked at lately aren't offering to pay anymore tha 5, 6, or 7 cpl, and there are more than just newbies looking at this job seeker board! Thanks for listening!!

I was so irritated when I posted this message I didn't proofread it. Yes, for those of you who will bash me for that, I do know I made the errors.
Concerned MT
can you post an update and let us know how many signatures you got and what has happened with the petition? Thanks.
No one will ever be as concerned about your $

I too have been offered the apprenticeship program at Focus and after asking several questions was told that I would move to editing after I passed the program. I'm worried because of the things I've read about them withholding your paycheck if you have any errors in your reports -- do you know how often this occurs? And how often do they pay you? I am concerned because we will be paying for daycare up front and if I for any reason have an error that makes them keep my whole paycheck (and subsequently makes me unable to pay for daycare), I am going to kill somebody
...I have had 98.7+ accuracy in my previous job as an MT, so maybe I have nothing to worry about and should just take the offer?
As far as I'm concerned
I don't know either one of them so I really have no opinion one way or the other. Unless you are privy to everything that happened or you know them personally, I can't understand why people are so up in arms about any of this.
Should we be concerned?
In our log of jobs, "PowerScript Transcription" is listed as having done one job. Does this signal the end of my job? Is this how it happens? ::gulp::
You are right, it is not the norm at first, but including myself and many others that I know
personally, we do make around 100 or more per day working for a national. It is very possible! You just gottah look.
I still don't understand how someone can have so many years experience, be on the same system, and make less than 175 lines per hour. I don't understand.
Maybe they are not typing fast enough or know enough terms, is all I can think of.
I've switched jobs in the past few months and started off slow, but now up to approximately 200 lph - came from a job where I did 350 lph on WP5.1 and now on an internet platform. I don't kill myself everyday working either.
Is anyone else concerned about Howie?
He is almost certainly going to be evicted from the Big Brother House by that evil April, Maggie and Yvette. He was a RIOT (loved his obsession with "boobies")...
To Very Concerned Re: Transform sm
I work there, have for about a year. I got that same paper and now I cannot find what I did with it. Do you think it is something we should be really concerned over? I cannot find it to see what it was about. Thanks.
I think it is thoughtful of you and you should not be too concerned if (sm)
someone thought it "weird" as gifts are given from the heart and yours seems to be overflowing!!! It is so nice to see someone actually more worried about giving this year than receiving!! I work from home as well for a small MTSO and I will follow in your footsteps!!!
it usually is......including lottery...sm
one has a better chance of getting hit by lightning than winning a lottery...any lottery.....there is a 1 in 14 million chance of winning THE lottery....and a much smaller chance of getting hit by lightning, at least in Florida....*lol*
I personally know of about 5 or 6, including myself, although I'm sure there are more out there..
....but probably not a LOT more! 8-)

Including, unfortunately, our government. nm

as far as books are concerned
They way i look at it don't take them basically you can find everything you would need by googling or if necessary post on here!
I am not understanding- is that including
our changing, adding, etc. to get the finished report? in other words - if a VR report starts at 87 before our editing, and we have to put in say 3 extra lines, does it still stay at 87 when all is finished? Thanks.
and until then, I'm not concerned with what AAMT/JC has to say. NM

I did the tax return myself and was more concerned (sm)
about who and how many people dealt with my return at the IRS department.

Most veterinarians I know (including specialists) ...sm
hand write their notes on charts or have preset templates for things like procedures that the doctor inserts data into to make a printed report. My dog sees a dermatologist and it only takes him about 2 minutes to send a note through this latter means to her regular vet, and my cat has seen a gastroenterologist who used a preset template when they did an ultrasound on her abdomen when she sent the report to the regular vet.
Due to the expense I would say you'd have a better chance of trying to obtain some work through a specialist veterinarian, but I would think it would be a minimal amount of dictation. Good luck on the search!
Movin' it up here...TO CONCERNED from yesterday (sm)
Thinking about you & hoping you are safe & feeling a little less sore. Please e-mail me if you can or call (if you get voicemail, I will call you back if it is safe).
Remember what I said yesterday...YOU ARE NOT ALONE

As far as the social situation is concerned, get
him in cub scouts, community sports, etc. This is really not an educational issue IMO and not the responsibility of the school system.
The school system in most cases will try to do as little as possible for your child, but if you have a diagnosis, you can write an IEP and they have a legal obligation to follow it, whether they like it or not. They also have to provide testing, like it or not, but we always had ours done on our own as I didn't feel like I would get an honest evaluation from the school system.
If your contract does not have including spaces sm
you can attach an addendum to it to read "9 cents per 65 character line including spaces" and sign it, mail to them and have the owner sign it and send you a copy of the signed contract. If they won't do that, it probably is without spaces and they didn't want to tell you.
My rent, alone, is $1400. Including sm
utilities and everything else, probably about $3600, and I live alone.
Absolutely NOT. If they are that concerned about their information, they
can send you a brand new computer at no charge or at a small rental fee per month. Otherwise for them to access your computer without your permission is considered hacking. It sounds as if the MTSO or tech person is paranoid or nosy and trying to bully you into something they have no legal right to do. My response would be to write NO on the form, do not sign it, and tell them what I just said here.
I'd be more concerned with the company whose tapes
and CD's you've gotten if you attempt to sell the use of them for learning purposes. I think there'd be some copyright issue there since you'd be making money with their product that is intended for personal use (maybe, I'm not really sure how that'd work). I think they'd have a bigger issue with you than the local colleges.
