Swiss cheese report

Posted By: BC on 2006-10-30
In Reply to: I just sent a report with .... - just venting

I know exactly what you mean!  I've had my share of those!  All last week was horrible.  They came out of the woodwork!    So I took Wednesday off due to frustration and went shopping!   


The flannels and a movie sound great!  That's just what I did when I got home from shopping!

Update on my swiss cheese report...
I just checked my feedback and there were 8 QA markers out of the 24 that even QA couldn't get.  Shouldn't that tell someone something?
Swiss Army Knife, steak dinner, anything remote controlled
maybe a toy remote control car or a new universal remote?
You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099. 
mac and cheese and
baked chicken marinated in Dale's.
Cheese and crackers or.....
toothpaste and tooth brushes!!
cheese ring
Don't exactly know what you are looking for...perhaps a cracker or biscuit, but try this link. Lots of recipes to browse.

I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different.  I had one woman try to pull this on me.  She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other."  Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line.  She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios.  I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
Ham, broccoli and cheese casserole.
mmmmm!
Scalloped potatoes do not have cheese
in them so if you want cheese, look for au gratin potatoe recipe. 
The cheese slid off his cracker.

Great one!! I use chedder cheese...yumm nm

Have some cheese with that whine... cheesy companies
I am so with you! It's these cheesy MTSOs! I just got my social security statement of my earnings since college and I was blown away... it was great for my self-esteem but pointed out exactly what has been going on. Last year and the year before I made less than working my way through college!!! It was down to 14-15K a year!! No joke. I look back to around 2000 and I was up to 50K a year plus benefits. That had been going on for some time. Even at 2005 I was doing okay, in the 40s. What happened? For a year I thought it was me, but no, my hospital outsourced and I went to a service. Found out they counted lines differently and I bounced from service to service the last 2 years. YIKES. I am now below the poverty level and a single mom. I should take these earnings statements to somebody.. I don't know who. But I am with you! There are only so many hours in the day and only so much work, etc. etc. At least you know there are those like you out there who have the same vent... but we have got to band together and somehow get paid again what we are worth! Good luck to you!
Bacon, egg, and cheese on toasted bagel. DH cooked again.

lit'l smokies,mac&cheese,fresh homegrown 'maters


Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich.
Nothing grilled, it gives me a bellyache,  just plain toast and cheese stuck together   My son will have his favorite, fried liver and onions, my daughter will have cinnamon oatmeal, husband will have half a grapefruit, oatmeal, 2 eggs, and toast.  I run a short order house in the morning, but at least everyone eats something good for them before they leave the house, so I don't mind at all.   And I won't be surprised if a few neighborhood kids stop in for my soup and sandwich or the oatmeal.  The only rule is that they have to put their own dishes in the dishwasher, not leave them for me to clean up. 
I dunno know about cottage cheese since lasagna has that (or ricotta) already in it??

Let's see, just got through baking cheese straws, bran muffins,
fruit cake cookies and cheese/sausage balls and DH just came home with a big bag of almond M&Ms.   Probably have a Pepsi to go with it.  No veggies but I think we got all the other food groups - LOL.  
cottage cheese and leftover alfredo noodles
with sauce.
I steam mine with Parm cheese in the leaves -
along with minced garlic.  Pound those babies down on the counter so the cheese falls to the bottom and every bite has cheese on the leaves.  Yummmmmmmmy-  I also put lots of garlic the water along with any other flavoring I want the heart to taste like.  I'm off to the store for chokes.....LOL
Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
Bean, cheese, onion, and jalapeno burrito

Ah, reminds me of a friend who said, "I'll be all over you like cheese soup!"

Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I

had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.


Toast the bread and then either grate in blender or on a manual cheese grater.

We're having chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, quick and easy!

dinner tonight? I'm having fried chicken and macaroni & cheese. I'll make sure it's a whi
I have my cholesterol checked! 
Not much different than eating French toast with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs w/cheese. nm

You can serve chili sauce or a chutney spread on a bar of soft cream cheese to put on

If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.

Ham, cheese potatoes, asparagus, roasted cauliflower, deviled eggs. carrot cake, family and friends

Crab cakes, mashed potatoes, fresh asparagus in cheese sauce, salad, deviled eggs and
6 layer chocolate cake separated by raspberry/brandy filling topped with white chocolate genache (son is a pastry chef) :)
But expensive gin and expensive cheese. I deserve it.

Yes...Every Report
I have to admit, I proofread EVERY SINGLE REPORT. But I always have gone for overkill, and I am new. My one and only QA score was 98%. While I am proofreading (long reports), I sometimes stand up and stretch, or run and grab a snack or lunch so I don't feel like it is so much a waste of time. I suppose I will have to get to the point where I don't proofread every report, or I will never make any money! I may have to rethink my strategy if and when MQ increases their line quota for part time employees. Rumor has it at 8,000 lines per pay period, and I am only managing 6,000 and working long hours just to do that. Got to figure SOME way to speed up!
report
I get paid per report, $1.30, includes all accessions/requisitions -
for instance in one report if doc says this is an MRI of the Head, neck and 3d multiplanar I get 1.3 for each. I use Shorthand and I have eight years experience. I do anywhere from 80-120 reports a day.
There was a report in AL, I think, that there was

a live alligator swimming around the flood waters there in one area. The newscaster kept saying it was live and nobody would come out and was avoiding that area until it disappeared. It's probably waiting somewhere quietly for its next dinner to walk by.


Two of my accounts are in New Orleans and I have typed hundreds of patients with abscesses that tested positive for MRSA over the last few months. The way the city is now cannot be helping this at all. A few of the docs I do are automatically  treating for MRSA now w/o getting the culture report just because they've seen so many cases.


right! Fox would report a


That would be real news there.


No, the woman bought a LOUIS VUITTON with the money she got


(debit card).


 


ONE report probably
so they will need to add more MT's...LOL! I feel for all of you.
Per Report
The highest I have heard of anyone paying per report is $2 with most paying less than that. Hope that helps.
Pay by report?

Hi, all:  I've been getting my own small clients here and there, and I've had a request for a proposal to radiology reports for a small radiology group.  Their current vendor is charging them by report, not line.  Anyone have any idea what to charge by report?  I've done some calculating with regard to average lines per report, and I'm thinking of offering to do it for $3 per report.  Any idea if this is too high or too low???  Any input is appreciated........


 


Per report

Working as an IC you should be charging $2 per report, that is what I charge my clients.  Good Luck!!!


I saw a report that said . . .
Heart rate 80 permanent. Do ya think he said per minute?
Report changes
Has anyone ever had someone go in and change your reports?  I don't mean change a small word or the wording of a sentence.  I am talking about taking out information and putting in information that the doctor did not dictate, making the report incorrect for the patient's records?  I found this happening to my work and need information on the legal ramifications, as well as how to handle this. 
report changes

I work at home for a service, but not as an IC.  I found work changed by having a temporary copy on file - then the QA changes/corrections - and then relistened and found changes made that affected the whole report, different medications, different procedures and PMH, etc.  Information that will probably one day go on to another physician that is incorrect and that I did not transcribe, but with my initials on the report.  Of course, I realize that once the physician signs it that the liability is on him, but it's just inconceivable that someone would do this.  I saw this happen one other time when I worked in house and one Transcriptionist didn't like another one and this was done in order to try and get the disliked employee fired.  However, it did not involve my work then.  I keep thinking that MTs all think ethically and with a legal obligation to the patient, but I know in reality that to some it is just a job.  I am tetering on talking to the company and/or the account manager, especially since I have everything in black and white - the first report - the QA corrections - the changes to the report after it came back to me, etc.  I'm just looking for some guidance on how to handle the situation. 


 


I had one report from one md....sm

I had one MD last week that had this dinging sound throughout his report......I hit no key accidentally or held a key down.  This was on the dictator's side, this dinging noise.....



$1.20 per report
ask what are the margins, font, length of reports for per page or gross lines

also what do you mean by "plus paid for links?" is this something additional that you do for the report?
$1.20 per report
I have been offered $1.30, $1.50, $1.75 to $2.00 per page depending on the average length of report.
definitely report it
That is very disturbing to me. She was very unprofessional and not that I want to know what she said, but is it something she did that should be reported to authorities?
$3-4.00 per report sm
But no one will pay that. You probably don't want to take a job typing MRIs and CTs by the report. They can get pretty lengthy. Just my 2 cents. :)
I just sent a report with ....

24 QA markers.  The darn thing looked liked Swiss cheese.  And it wasn't even an ESL.  He was an American who could speak perfectly good English if he chose to.  Instead, he slurrs entire sentences, sometimes 2 or 3 together in the same breath.  I cringe every time this guy comes up on my screen and even having old reports to look at in my feedback screen doesn't help. 


Okay, I'm done.  Have a good evening.  I'm changing into my flannel jammies and watching a movie.


My tax guy says you do not have to report it if
If they 1099 ya', that means they reported to the IRS that they paid you.  If they send you the 1099, then you must report it or you could get blipped.  The $500.00 amount is correct though if you made under that amount, you do not have to claim it.  I really do not think you need to combine anything.  Each company you have worked for as an IC should 1099 ya'!  Just my thoughts on this issue and the experiences I have had. 
Every report
This person has no experience and seems to have no pride in the work. She types any old thing. I send her feedback and I get somewhat snippy replies that I should explain things better... I am not the trainer..but references to that I might have needed help when I started out. Well truthfully, when I started out I looked things up like crazy, proofed by work and had a lot of pride in my product. This person had to have been very cheap for the boss. The boss knows I will fix the mess and so what's the problem? Everything is peachy for everyone except me?
