INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
  Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork. My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators. Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries. Give up you all,  India is already way ahead of us!
It's two. Look at how it comes out printed... (s/m)
... two spaces between sentences is easier to read and more professional looking. One space is hard to read and amateurish... like what you see in cellphone texting!
Even if they tell me one, I'm still gonna do two - I'd be embarrassed to put my initials on it otherwise.
Used to think we were using India, but now realize India is using us for our med. info, jobs,

IIt's a fun show. I printed out the
recipe for the Chipotle pasta that the judges wanted seconds on. I'll make it this weekend.
Printed material
Yes - by the same poster who is now filling the Wicca and Witchcraft boards with spells!
I have the printed version, and it's not very useful. (n/m)

Yes, me too, but I still drop off printed reports
The phone system just makes it easier to track reports, no more broken tapes, etc. Plus, drs like it when they can call with an urgent document instead of waiting for pickup. I was hesitant (old dog not wanting new tricks) but I really like it a lot. It also is more secure as far as HIPAA, each dr has a different log-in and all.
printed for my dozen coworkers! LOVIT!! -nm-

Safe way of mailing printed reports?
I am currently transcribing and printing reports for a doctor, and pay a courier to go back and forth picking up tapes & dropping off printed reports. Have found a way for the doc to easily send me his transcription digitally, but they still want their reports printed and sent to them. The courier is kind of expensive to just deliver reports. Wasn't sure if Priority Mail with Signature Confirmation would be a HIPAA compliant way of sending reports? Or possibly a Fedex option? Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive way of getting reports delivered (about 40 miles away) that would be safe and HIPAA compliant? Faxing is not an option, as most are printed letters and the fax quality is just not great. Would appreciate any thoughts/ideas at all. Thanks!
Religion board/Catholic is full of printed material!!!
Whoa
welcome; i printed it out and have it hanging beside my desk. current AAMT BOS, electronic addition
:
In a time where holey jeans and a t-shirt that has some vulgar words printed on it, I'd say YES

Does this seem fair? To charge .16 per line - includes printed reports, copies on disk for one year
and delivery. I do travel twice a week to this office. Plus, at times I will fax or email the reports free of charge. I live in Southern California in an upscale area.
Thanks again! 
I made a card with a nice close-up photo of hers printed oblong-shaped with a red background, a huge
blank space beside the photo for my message written in silver ink, and some pressed tiny flowers to decorate the edges, then I laminated. She was so proud to show it off to her friends. (You might want to use this idea next year, maing sure you press small flowers first, or you can think of other decors).
If it is in India next

india ads
You are right ... and I cannot imagine that these are even remotely sanctioned by MTStars mgmt. Will await their input before jumping to conclusions.
How about it is all going to India???
nm
Why yes! It's very hot in India. (nm)

india
not sure, but if you were on the national do not call list maybe this would help?? since you do not know where they got your name from it might help. I am on that list and have not received any calls solicitating, selling, etc. thought this might help.
EMR/India
I am sorry to hear of your loss. We might as well face it, this industry is going to the birds. I have lost four Docs because of outsourcing to India. It is a shame that the Docs have to find a cheap way out because of all the overhead, malpractice, etc. that they have to pay. I have been in this for four years and I thank God that I have 12 years doing medical billing, for which I am going back to school to do coding. There is no job security in this industry, you are treated like dirt, you do not get paid on time and not treated like an employee should be and now EMR. What is next? Robots to do patient care? Good luck to you, but I feel this is just a little wakening up call to all of us that things are changing and not for the good.
India MTs
Where did you get this info that there are more CMTs in India than here in the US? Just curious. Thanks
India
Most of these people, at least at a company I worked for, work 2 shifts every day - company paid for them to get their CMT.
India
One of the reasons there is still such poverty there is that India still has the caste system. While becoming more westernized has improved the quality of living for the majority of Indians, those in the lower caste are not allowed the same opportunities. They live in squalor without running water, food, education, etc.
India
This is very disgusting! How are we to compete with $500 a year. If India is so great why is it that they hire Americans to edit this crap all the time??? These companies do not understand you get what you pay for just like everything else in life. It's all about saving the allmighty buck. This is exactly why I and I'm sure others out there do not work for any company who offshores!!
Why India?
Interesting article in "The Record". Would love to hear opinions on this.

I believe Jax is in India, right?

India and CMT
Please tell me they are not only undercutting us in pricing, but they are also getting a break on the CMT exam? I am "saving up" to take it! – see below from MT India
"Moreover, with an aim to encourage experienced medical transcriptionists in India to align with global standards and broaden their career avenues, Prometric & AAMT have also announced a special price for the Certified Medical Transcription (CMT) certification exam, which will be available for USD 150 (reduced from previous available price of USD 275)."
India
I agree, the India thing may be part of some of the problems I have noticed lately. Things are in a bit of an upheaval. Certain accounts that were said to have been largely off-shored now seem to be back here and always going out of TAT. The one I'm working on now is like that, and I wish it would stay here because I like it a lot.
no - that's how they say it in India
Probably the one in India.

From India
Me too, about a year ago, but mine was from India, what nerve.
From India, of course! SM
 What I can't figure out, if WE can't understand the lot of them, how did they ever get through the recruiting/hiring interview and application process, and how to they communicate with their peers and patients? Via interpreter??
Me neither whether that be here or in India..
I'm not real sure I see your point.
I'm not being difficult. I just don't understand how a fire would cause companies to not outsource.
There were fires in California. There was a hurricane in Texas. I am quite sure these two disasters did not spare places where medical records are kept.
He/She is probably QA in India
If this were an Indian MT, all they'd have to do is send it to their several layers of QA. This is likely an Indian QA person who has nobody else to ask.
Are you in India?
Just curious, as the way you express yourself does not appear to be the usual English seen on the board.
Are you in India?
No offense, just wondering.
are you from India or some other sm
country? Schools give instructions on Expanders and macros! Oh that is funny! Goes right back to experience! You are not going to have high line counts without extensive experience and learning, learning, learning! MT schools don't have any business (IMO) teaching about expanders and short cuts. They nee to teach medical transcription.
Experienced MTs have worked without expanders and macros before that ever came about and made excellent money. Sometimes I cannot believe what I read on here.
India!! LOL
AAMT in India
 LOL, that's a good one. Maybe next year!
Stay there in India.
And the companies want to outsource their work to these freaks. They spell careers as "carriers". LOL. I guess they don't care about quality transcriptionists that's for sure.
If you are really in India, which I doubt, but is entirely
possible, you may be interested to know that legislation is in the works to STOP all offshoring of any/all work which might "compromise the security" of U.S. "entities." This includes, of course, healthcare records.
They don't use camels in India
They use elephants-- sorry.
Surgery in India
I saw a clip on TV a while back about this. It followed an American woman who had a hip replacement. She was very pleased with her care and the outcome, and the price.
They outsource to India
They are funded by George Soros (look him up-- he has big bucks, is very "global", and has bankrupted a lot of foreign countries). Look at the two articles on the MT News board about Spheris. If you like all the new MQ rules and regulations, you will love Spheris, as they have all the same ones. I checked into them about 6 months ago and said, "No, thanks".
caution on SPI (India)
From their website: SPI has India facilities.
http://www.spitech.com/SPIHealthcare/about.html
....Would you like India with your order sir?
I can understand how incredible it seems that fast food chains are outsourcing BPO services, BUT IT IS TRUE.
Sure, if you like your work going to India (sm)
after a few months!!
They're a MQ clone, without the mafia connections.
They are all sending more to India
nm
It is probably someone in India who is bidding $10
And unfortunately this brings our rates down.
Spheris in India
Up until about a year ago Spheris denied outsourcing to India - now they can't hide it anymore and boast about taking work away from those who helped build the company, MTs right here in the good old USA. We aren't "cost effective."
India's #1 job site?
What is the advertisement for Indian resumes doing here?
