Re: Chart Script
It's okay, we use it currently. But it crashes alot.
cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer. I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper. It is an 8.5 x 11 label. I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients on one sheet as I can and I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts. Just an extra service I provide. Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts.
Fast Chart, Inc.
Anyone work for Fast Chart or know anything about them?
why not? it's just key points of the chart ---
or chart condensed. anyone needing to know anything will go into the chart itself, including the courts.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any information about Fast Chart? I applied for a position there and am curious to know if it is a good company.
Fast Chart
It could be better, but could be worse. Pay is low, but there seems to be plenty of work and pay is on time. They seem very friendly and tend to leave you alone to do your job.
QA may or may not be "friendly" but do not tell the QA anything that you don't want repeated to the owner. Pay attention to details and always confirm, in writing by email or otherwise, your understanding of anything important that is discussed in a phone call, especially with regards to the account assignment, pay and contract. For instance, you may be told that an account with XXX specialty is not available and then find them advertising within just a few days for that same specialty.
They seem to be a bit disorganized, with account specs being rather vague and incomplete.
They are very flexible and allow you to determine your own schedule monthly; however, they do require weekend work.
IMHO, Fast Chart is a pretty good company compared to some of the other choices in the industry right now.

I have been at Fast Chart for a little over 2 years. I did start off at 6 cent typing 3 cent editing and worked my way up quickly. They pay headers, footers and spaces. The accounts are easy and the people are always available to answer questions. I know they do not send anything to india. The owner is adamant about keeping work in the US. The edit script platform I am on is so user friendly. I am so glad to have a job with consistent work and receive my money on time. I say go for it.
Fast Chart
Actually, I understood it a little differently. Fast Chart seems to have two fees. The $7.50 per pay period is if you do not commit to at least 13,000 lines per pay period. There's another larger fee if you do not reach your promised line count, based on the percent of your promised lines that you DO produce.
As an IC, wouldn't these fees be somehow tax deductible?
Fast Chart
Yep. And a friend of mine told me that she was chastised by the company President for communicating too much with the QA and other administrators by email. She asked too many questions. I guess they prefer her to figure it all out by herself and not bother them.
Power Chart
Is anyone familiar with this platform? Is it compatible with MS Word and Instant Text?
Thanks.
Did anyone specifically ask you for references?
Do not give out references unless you are asked to. If they did ask you, did they want personal or professional references? I use my parents' friends as personal references. They've known me my entire life and would never say anything bad anyways. As for professional references, you can call old supervisors or coworkers to see if they would do it.
The recruiter specifically said 8-4:30 Sun through Fri.
This has been mentioned in conference calls.
"You are not to work outside of your schedule. If we need you to work outside of your schedule, we will call you. Do not work off the clock. No where in the U.S. do people work off the clock. It is not legal to work off the clock. Do not work OT without prior authorization."
These are a few of the statements made by management regarding when to work.
I don't play bingo. I do have a mtg, a car payment and would like to live a modest middle America lifestyle which I cannot do I there is a feeding frenzy for the work load because some people make their own rules.
If my company would have said, "have at it" with regard to when to work, I'd be the first one and here is what I'd do.
I'd leave my computer on 24 hours a day and simply check on the work load every 30 minutes, sit down and type away when there was work to do and get up and do other things when there is not.
However, I signed a contract that said I understood the terms and until I am told otherwise, I will follow them.
M-TEC has a program specifically for ....
those with a prior healthcare bakcground. M-Tec programs are very comprehensive. Many companies waive the usual 2-year experience requirement for grads.
OP specifically said wants rental on...nm
My mom has specifically told me...
that she wants me to let the state take care of her. I, of course, cannot do this. I love my mom way too much, and she has had a VERY rough life. Unfortunately, she has not been able to save or put away money for her when she gets older. She will have to work until the day she dies. Having 4 kids with no help whatsoever from the dads, family or the state, she has taken care of us the best she could....holding down 2-3 jobs at times. All the while doing this, she still had my brothers in baseball, took my sister to the medical center for counseling several times a week and stood up to my abusive father in court to fight for her kids. Not to mention, my three times a week breathing treatments. We came first ALWAYS! None of my brothers and sisters (the ones still living) can take care of themselves. I understand that it will be my responsibilty, one in which I will do without hesitation. The only exeption to that would be if it were damaging to my own family, which she made me promise her. If it got to the point, like a friend I know, where she was constantly crying in pain and it was taking an emotional toll on them, I would have no choice but to put her in a nursing home. You bet your butt though I would be there on a regular basis.
It just all depends on the situation. I do think though that it is a very sad thing that we do not take care of our family better, especially our elders. When there are elderly people sitting without AC because they can't afford a $450+ electric bill, not eating right, going without medicine, that is a sad thing...just as it is that we have children starving in our own country.
Same here. I have accounts that specifically say to
put the patient's name in the report if the physician dictates it.
sometimes the docs specifically say they--sm
won't pay for *normals* or pretyped template phrases. If he/they have not already stated this, then charge the same. If they realize after the fact that this is the case, be honest and tell them that it was never stated not to include template normals and then negotiate a price. If, as the other poster stated, you have to print these out, it is still costing you the same, so I would charge for it. Perhaps, if you want to be above board, ask him prior to beginning with the new templates, what his intentions are. Sometimes they *forget* to say whether it is paid for, or not. I hope you get what you want out of it. good luck.
Unless the client specifically says do not
double space, then I do. Were you told not to?
If the doc said specifically send via (sm)
email, then address the email to him with ccs to other docs who are to receive a copy..
Maybe she is told to specifically do certain
dictators first or worktypes first. You never know what goes on behind closed doors or what agreements other coworkers have with the company or supervisor.
You can approach the subject with you supervisor gently without accusing the other MT of anything and see what reply you receive. At least, that is how I would approach it if it really bothered me.
Personally, I really don't pay much attention to what other coworkers are doing, as long as there is enough work for me and I am able to make a decent pay check and have the quantity of work to transcribe, I am happy.
Try not to get so wrapped up in what others are doing and just do your job to the best of your ability. If and when it hinders your ability to make a decent living, then maybe talk to your supervisor.
I would specifically ask the company
how your lines are being counted, their program, characters with spaces/no spaces whatever. Get it in writing. You have a right to know. After you get it, compare counts and if they are wrong go back on them for backpay, provided of course you have your old line counts and can verify it.
No info about them specifically...
But I would suggest that you look into AHIMA's Coding Basics. Their program is eligible for college credit, which is very important. Many coders have their RHIT credential. In order to obtain that, you need an associate's degree. If I remember correctly, the Coding Basics program provides around 40 college credits. You need around 60 credits to finish an associate's degree, so you would have about 2 semesters to get those extra 20 credits. Their program is self-paced and costs around $2000 plus books.
According to the line count chart - sm
at http://www.medicalese.org/line_count.html
.09 cents for a 65-character line = $138.46 per 100,000 characters typed, and .10 for a 75-character line = $133.33 per 100,000 characters.
So .09 and 65 characters is the better deal, benefits are icing on the cake.
Does I-chart have a good expander?
Anyone familiar with Dictaphone I-chart. I'm thinking of working for a company that uses this. Is it good for productivity. I have Word 2000. Is it compatible? Thanks in advance!
Looking for conversion/comparison chart sm

Question on transcription by chart...
I have a doc I have been typing for for years. He HATES dictating lol Rt now he has stacks of patients on his desk and I am getting ready to go on vacation, but there is no way he will dictate before I leave. These would just be short orthopedic FUs, Im wondering if any of you have gone by the chart or the diagnosis and the prior note and typed a note for the patient. Does this make sense? lol Anyway any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

ice creams bars with the chocolate candy surprise inside! Do they still make them? I may have to chase down an ice cream truck. Oh, do they still make THEM? LOL!
Can someone tell me specifically how to take Instatext and Glossaries
to a new computer? I guess a flash drive, but i have never used one. Do you just plug it in a USB and....well, then what?
Thanks in advance!
They specifically asked for a contract.
They want a contract by Tuesday. I think it protects all parties involved.
Can't you read? I specifically wrote...
"..for us, the MTs.'
nobody looked down on you that you know of specifically but there is that "trailer trash"
mentality the general public thinks about trailer people. You have heard the jokes.
More specifically, free medical spellchecker, sorry about that..

what are you finding specifically wrong with this company
nm
We were specifically instructed to work our schedule
and that working off the clock was not permissable, that nowhere was working off the clock permitted. That if the acct required us outside of our shift, we would be called by management. It is to prevent taking work from the scheduled MTs (as well as unapproved OT.
So, I am not dreaming this up. This was made clear. They gave us a shift to work, we clock in and clock out during those shifts. If they need us after our shift is up, they will contact us.
Sample OP NOTE specifically ORIF
Does anyone know of a good site for sample op notes, specifically ORIF report
There's a board specifically for these types of jobs
Call centers and different types of phone work. From what I've seen, if you have a quiet environment and flexibility this is a good job to make extra money.
Here's a funny typo for you. I saw this at work today on a chart.
When they set you up, just make a little chart of what all the Ctl keys do and you'll be fine. Th

I hate chart notes so that is a simple choice for me.

Wow, 600 lines from 30 minutes of clinic/chart notes - sm
The most I would squeeze out of that would be 350 probably. You must have one fast talking doctor. You are also very fast if you can do 600 lines in one hour, or else you have it macroed/expanded to death and there is very little actual typing so that is why you can do so much in such a small amount of time.
OK, chart didn't post correctly, but link will nm
