Wireless here, too.  DBF has 2 puters in his office with the router to the main, NIC card in the other, ditto on the NIC card with my stuff in my office.  He sure is handy to have around...my own personal "tech support." 

transactions since you started treatment. Then audit it and figure out where they made their mistake. Then call or visit their business/billing office and CALMLY discuss your findings. If they agree that you do not owe more, ask for a statement showing the adjustment and a zero balance. Then write a letter documenting the conversation.

Good Luck!

It was a privately held company where they depended on referrals from MDs to keep them in business, in today's work environment the normal TAT is 4 to 8 hours.  USUALLY there is someone responsible for matching up each days order slips and the reports and goes to medical records if there is any report missing.

I'm sorry but I think disciplinary action is in order for both parties.  This really impacts patient care (can you imagine worrying about your mammogram for a month to find out whether that lump your doctor found is cancer??)  Where any of these reports for next-day preoperative evaluations?  Geesh, imagine your surgery being cancelled because of what she did.

When I worked at an outpatient diagnostic center, the MR supervisor could not leave at night until all slips were matched to either films on the rad's desk to be the first ones done the next morning or all reports were in the couriers bin for delivery or had been faxed to the appropriate office.

If she does not have the time to send out reports and the supervisor does not have the time to manage the work flow, it seems to me they are both pretty worthless.

just my opinion.

I'm hosting a spa party at my house on Friday at 6:30 p.m.  I'm going to serve:

Vegetable pizza

Chips/Mexican dip (cheese, cooked ground beef, salsa in the crock pot)

Fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, blueberries)

Lemon squares

Tea/soda/coffee

Would it be okay to use pale yellow paper plates, napkins, utensils, hot/cold cups with a white tablecloth and a vase of fresh flowers?  Can I move the chairs away from the kitchen table and serve the food there or should I put it on a table in the den where we'll be having the party?  Should I offer drinks as people arrive and wait until everyone is there before we eat or should everyone just get their food/drink as they arrive? 

I've never had or been to this type of party, so I'm really nervous.  Does my menu sound like enough, too much, yucky choices???  I thought it would be fun having a spa party, but it's made me a first-class nervous wreck planning it! 

I'm open to all ideas and recommendations.  Thanks.

We are directly under the physician. We are not BCBS or the government.

You may have already seen these, if not they are rather cute.

Purchase some plastic (deli type) disposable gloves.  These are made to touch food, etc.  Put a candy corn in fingertips (for fingernails) stuff rest with popcorn.  Tie top with colored black/orange ribbon, and put plastic spider rings (found everywhere at halloween) on top of glove after they are stuffed.  These are really kinda cute.

Okay, 5 years ago, our family threw a huge party - a pig roast actually - with over 100 people during the course of the night.  My father-in-law said he wanted to do it again this year, but has since backed out because of his health not being the best and my husband has no interest in planning.  I would love to charge in and do it myself except for one thing - I have no idea how to roast a pig.  I was thinking of just having burgers and dogs as well as whatever sides people want to bring, soda, beer, etc and just turn up the music and have a blast.  My husband says you can't have a pig roast one year and turn around and just have hamburgers another time.   I think he's full of it!  Any opinions?  And be kind...he IS a great guy.  Just a party p**per when it comes to this.

Happy 4th!

Just way too much fun!  Especially when they both pushed their little cakes away and said PICKLES!

Next year they're getting birthday pickles.

It was lots of fun and I received so many diapers and wipes, which I was so thankful for.  It was much smaller and more personal. Not to mention, it was nice to have a party, even small, to welcome the second baby.

Do you have a favorite you went to?  I'd like this to be a positive thread, fond memories, that sort of thing.

I worked for a very large hospital for about 4 years.  Every year at Christmas, the company party was in the cafeteria (a huge, monstrous cafeteria and half of it was curtained/walled off for our party).  The party was during an entire 24-hour period on 2 different days.  We could sign up for 4 hours time (paid) to go in groups to the party during our shifts.  When we got down there, after showing our badge, the CEO would hand us a crisp new 100-dollar bill.  They would have tables and tables of all kinds of fantastic snack/finger foods and desserts.  The TVs were showing videos that were scanning the crowd the whole time.  There was a band that played some and upper management would put on silly plays, sometimes children's groups would come sing.  We really had a good time.  Everyone got to enjoy the party.  We went home with an extra $100 in our pockets.  Enjoyed good food and entertainment and got paid for it!  Then we were worthless the rest of the day in the office, hahaha, while we continued to snack on all the dozens of goodies that clinics and offices had sent to the us, the transcription department.  :)

Now, we don't get THAT working from home, huh?!  Hahahaa 

keep enough money to pay people. That's the bottom line. It is no one else's fault.

I don't contract with a hospital. I contract with an MTSO.
