They are and that is why we dont have work then. They bring in other offices and run your office out
of work because too many people are on the account then. Make sense. Nope.
MQ offices- If there is an MQ office in your city/state, is it possible to
apply for an MQ job outside of your state? I think I have been blacklisted from the MQ here in Birmingham, AL. I worked part-time for them when they first setup an office here, and they were named Transcription Limited, I believe. They only paid 6-7 cpl at that time. Well I worked for them a couple years and then opportunity came where I could work for another transcription company, and I am assuming was a competitor to them in the Birmingham market. Mind you, I left in good standing (so I thought), two-weeks notice and all, and was an exceptional employee, but years later, every time I have tried to apply through them, I get turned down. So I am wondering if I could work for another MQ office outside of Alabama, or will they refer me to the Birmingham office?
I worked in a physician's office as well.
Normally they get paid only a percentage of that. If your mother has insurance she can pretty much disregard that initial bill. The hospital my parents used also chopped off a large amount due to their fixed income. The worst part about this system is that people with no insurance and who do not qualify for the indigent write-off have to cough up the whole thing.
Working for a physician's office.
I am currently working for a small company as an IC. I need some extra work and I'm thinking of trying to get hired on with a local physician's office (if I can find any that are hiring and are willing to hire someone who is a recent graduate) and was wondering how do you charge them for your work? Is it per report, by the hour, so much per line, etc? Is there anyone out there who could give me some pointers as to how I can go about doing this? Thanks.

Have you contacted the office manager, physician, etc.(?)

Work as a nurse? Ugh, ugh, UGH! sm
You have to really be a "people person" to want to be a nurse, wipe old people's butts and clean bedpans and patient vomit. (AND have to deal with the doctors in PERSON.) I give total credit to anyone in that profession, but it's just not for me. And still, school-wise, there is a lot of remedial math, science and biology I'd have to take before I'd ever even be considered for nursing school. I guess that's the price I pay for being an English/Art major. I had MANY office jobs, plus a small business of my own, before I ever even went to night school to learn MT. I got so tired of dealing with callous, power-hungry management people, back-stabbing co-workers, reviews, meetings, politics, dress requirements, pantyhose, unmanageable hair, you-name-it. Working with words and voice-recordings was my cup of tea, and back in "The Day", we were valued (as human beings, not just extensions of machinery) by our employers. Sometimes "progress" isn't as good a thing over the long haul as it looks initially.
How much do most people charge for doing IC work for doc offices, just
What program is good to use for line counting?
I was thinking 13/cents a line? Is that undercharging? I have to remember that I have to pay my overhead so even though 13 sounds high, I have to pay equipment, equipment, equipment.

I, too, work for MQ out of one of their CA offices - 7 years now. Steady workflow sm
I wouldn't say I don't run out of work, but maybe 3 times a year I do. Just depends. Around school time beginning I do. May pay is probably above average because the company I worked for that MQ bought paid really well.
I have had absolutely no problems with MQ, though the things I keep hearing and seeing do bother me that I belong to a co. like this. But personally, they've been too good to me.
I guess not all offices are the same, for sure!
Contact the unemployment offices of the state in which you work.
See Wikipedia "unemployment benefits" for an excellent discussion. To determine your eligibility, try contacting the unemployment offices of the state in which you work--start with the state to which your employer pays state income taxes on your wages. They should be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck to you.
Do you know any IC transcriptionists or friends who work in doctors' offices?
That is how I got started. A good friend worked for herself and had no coverage for vacations. I covered a vacation, then a day or two a week, which eventually worked into full time. I also did prn work for local offices.
Work hourly for physician. Need help..
I wonder if someone could tell me how they created an invoice when being paid hourly doing transcription. I tried using MP Count but it only calculates using line counts. Thanks for any help.
It is mostly trial and error! Lots of foot work, go to their offices, ask for the OM and see if the

Is the patient pregnant? ITP is usally intrauterine pregnancy in OB.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
:
Do not work for Amherst if you can work for any other office in MQ. It is terrible. They overload
accounts terribly. We are always running out of work or need to have 8 or 9 backups to get lines in. This is the way it is. There may be a few out there that it is different but I do acute care and was just transferred there along with my office and everyone in my office is in the same boat. Not a good deal at all.
Does anyone on her work for Amherst MQ and how is that office to work for.

What MQ office do you work for?
I have over 25+ years experience and have been with MQ since 1997. I sure am not getting 9.5 cents a line! I had to fight to get the tiny raise I did get. What's your secret for getting the 9.5 cents???
I work at a vet's office
That's my main second job. I usually have two or three transcription jobs.
I used to work in an onc office
and I can tell you that even though the doctors may sound cold when dictating, most of them are not that way in the office. As for feeling sad for the patients, I cried at least once a week when I worked in that office (and I only worked 2 days a week). I got very attached to these patients as many of them were coming every week for their treatments. But in the end, I felt privileged to have worked there. I made it my job to get to know these patients personally, to let them know that someone does care. Many of them left our office smiling and that made me feel good inside.
My OB once asked me if it was depressing, and I told him that while losing a patient in our office was always sad, but the patients were no longer in pain, and that I would rather deal with that loss than trying to explain to a new mother the loss of a baby any day. He agreed, said he never thought of it that way.
I'm currently working on a children's hospital and it's very saddening some days. The pediatric oncology is the worst, though. You just never expect something like that to happen to your family. You just kind of wake up one day and cancer has reared its ugly head.
The office that I work for is going to EMR in May
I went in for training a few weeks ago and it's all set up on my computer. They will still need transcriptionists. I was told that consultation notes will still have to be transcribed. There's too much information in them that you just can't point and click everything. Also, we fax all the work we do, so we still have to fax all notes. It looks like it's going to make my work a lot easier. Now, down the road maybe they won't need us full-time, but I've already been preparing for that by working as a legal Transcriptionist as well as a general transcriptionist.
Yes, better to be in an office than NO WORK at all.
What office were you offered 9.5? The one I work in does NOT go over 8.
I am the only MT on the account I am doing and the client REFUSES to have anyone else do it..i figure leverage, but they still wont pay more than 8 NO SPACES. I never have blanks, never mess up at all, work ALLLLL the time. Where or where did you get 9.5?
I work out of the Dallas/SW office and
over the past 4 years, I have had slow work once or twice but have never run out. Now, that doesn't mean that possibly some accounts were not out but the accounts I work on provided me with work so that I never lost a line from it.
Enjoy the boards, Michael!
Do you work out of the Seattle office?
Just curious. Our Portland office closed recently.
I DON'T GET IT????? I have NEVER run out of work EVER. We are ALWAYS swamped at my office!!!
Sorry to hear your office is so slow. Come to the Dallas office...you'll never run out of work.
That stinks. Must be the office you work for because
I had nothing but STAT reports for 5 hours straight this a.m. and then reports went back to last Friday's dictation. I wish there were some way I could send some out to you.
Weird thing is that in the last couple of weeks I have logged on to find no work, but within an hour, I have plenty of work. Uh oh. Is it my turn? 
Try to find an office you can work out of where other MTs can help you out!

The office I work for some of the docs went
Now the office staff who handles the dictation are griping because they don't like Cbay. They say it is hard to get the work back and it always needs edited. The docs are behind on editing because they get caught up doing other things. I had the staff say they wish the doctors would not have drifted.. makes my head well, but you get what you pay for... 
Work in office and home
The office provided me with software in order to hook up to the office over my DSL line. Just connect to the company's software and the computer works as if I was in the office exactly the same way. And anyone in the office can see what I have typed instantly! I love it! I would much prefer working at home than at the office however!!
I used to work for a neurosurgeons' office (SM)
They didn't test me when I went in for my interview. The HR lady said they would find out soon enough if I didn't know how to type. I guess that makes sense!! I worked there for 2 years
I would work in the office in a heartbeat
if it meant a liveable wage and no more sending of OUR jobs to INDIA. Working at home holds no great thrill to me. It's the paycheck that matters. This work-at-home thing is what started all this fiasco but nobody wants to give up their flexibility blah blah blah.
Which office do you work for if you dont mind.

LOL tooo funny. You work in this office?
How do you know?
I always ask via e-mail to whomever I work the most with at the office

In-office work is different than working at home. That's just the way it is. If it seems too
rigid to you, maybe you should stick to working for the nationals.

When you work in an office, you can see when others are manipulating the system.
so don't judge her for knowing
Well, part of the reason I do NOT work in an office sm
is so that I CAN take the time to stop and feed my child, or put a band-aid on a scraped knee, or read a quick story... My children are a priority to me and the distraction they cause is acceptable for me. That doesn't make my work ethic any less than yours IMO, I work more hours probably. I work some nights after the rest of my family is sleeping. My work ethic is such that I get my work done and still give time to my children when they need it.
Does anyone send cards or anything to the office they work for? (sm)
Years ago when I worked for a smaller company a bunch of us made a big box of goodies and mailed it to the office. They were such great people, helpful and cheerful. The company always sent us something and we didn't want to just send to the owner of the company so we felt a card in a box of goodies everyone could share. Smaller places have more of a personal feel .
Now I work for a larger company and home made goodies may not be such a good idea. (The shipping alone would be a killer.) I guess a card addressed to "everyone" will have to do it. Thought about having X-mas cards made up with my family picture on it and sending that to kind of help them also put a face to the name. Too much? Think I would be better off with just a standard card?
Those of you that are doing anything for the office you work out of, what are you doing? Would love to "borrow" a really good idea.
TIA
Who me? No, I work for a local nephrology office.

If it is a medical office, they should have one as we all sign one when we work there -- nm

Going back to Office Admin Work
Hello everyone. I wanted to sign in and thank everyone for all the info that has been posted on this board. It was a very important web site for me during my short transcription career.
After being laid off from a company in Michigan 3 weeks ago, I have searched for and found an office manager position in a non-MT environment. I'm going back to my routes in Admin. I tried to make a career change a few years ago. Maybe it was not the financial environment to make such a change or maybe it is just not for me. What ever the case is, I'm leaving. I have invested a large amount of time and money into this dream but sometimes you have to know when to "fold 'em." Lucky for me hubby is on board and not making me feel bad about our investment or how this dream of mine drained our finances.
So, again, thanks for all the help and good luck to everyone.
any chance they are hiring? I did work for an office that got ate up by MQ..but I had just left.

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
