You need a copy of your report. Whatever bad stuff you can pay, pay it and get a receipt. But let a medical collection be the last priority. Do not let anyone else pull your credit report. Pay everything you have on time. Dispute things that are incorrect. Email me. This will take a while.
SCORE
Since you say you are just starting out and you are a small operation, I assume that you do not have a lot of capital to invest up front. When I was getting started in my business I learned of a FREE service that you can consult with and get all the answers you need. It is called SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives). They are a volunteer organization and specialize in consulting small businesses. Look in your local yellow pages or Google SCORE and find a local office. Unless you have money to invest in an accountant right now, this is what I recommend. It was the best decision I ever made.
My score was 31--
I guessed on quite a few (not the US or England, though) and even got some of the cities right. I didn't think I'd get even half. Cool game!
Well, I have a 99% or higher QA score.
I make between $45K and $48K doing this.
NEver been in trouble for QA. Never lost a job for QA. Have been hired for every single job I have ever applied for.
Anyone I've ever worked for has been sad to see me go. People I work for now are very happy with me. I make good money and have a good QA score.
All with no PROPER EDUCATION but just on-the-job training.
HOORAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
I love my QA score and even like my QAs
I am trying to prove a point to "I-type-fast" girl.
QA score formula
Can anyone post formula for figuring QA score. Thanks!
CMT pass score
Can anyone tell me what is the score required to pass the CMT exam?
Monthly audits = QA score. sm
Usually companies audit your work monthly. They will pull 5 or 10 reports you have transcribed and do a random QA check on them. If you have critical errors, they will deduct whole points, noncritical errors usually a half point.
If you total QA score is below 98% three or more times in a row, some companies will do what they can to help you, put you back on QA review for a while so every report will go to QA. Other companies may just fire you or let you go.
Is this the answer your were looking for?
That's funny because after we went through CCCS our score went up significantly. nm

The older the account, the higher the score . . .
so they are the ones to keep. :)
Where's best place to obtain credit score?
I know I see Free Credit Report all the time on the internet, but they are not really free, right? Don't you have to sign some sort of protection coverage and pay a monthly fee? Is the best place straight through the Equifax, TransUnion and that other place? (Can't think of the name of it right now). I'm in the market for a new house and want to make sure everything is okay. Any advise? Thanks in Advance.
Execuscribe On-Line Test Score
No, they didn't tell me what score was passing before I tested. They invited me to test based on my resume. I don't know about having to use a C-phone once hired but no I did not need one to test.
How is QA score measured? Is there a standard scale? sm
Is it per report? Is by the number of characters in the report? I am guessing that a missed comma is counted differently than a wrongly used medical term...
Thanks for any help!
Maybe your experience and a high test score - sm
is perceived as a *threat* - i.e., that they may soon need to pay you closer to what you're WORTH, in order to retain your services. Maybe some MTSOs think they can make more of a profit by hiring the less-skilled and "bringing them up to speed", so to speak, within the company while at the same time keeping their wages ridiculously low. Hmmmmm....
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company. How, oh how, do these MTs get hired? To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery.
Expecially if you can try to impress strangers with a bogus IQ score
x
I have heard the test is a joke and you don't need a high score
basically because they're desperate and need to keep up with TAT. Now this is just what I've heard but by the looks of what is being hired, I truly believe this!
Actually, NOT having open credit accounts hurts your FICO score.
I closed my credit cards 10 years ago and paid them all off. All I have left is my student loan and my mortgage, which are both paid on time every month. You'd think that would show me as a responsible consumer because I pay cash for everything and don't live off of credit. Instead, my FICO score stinks now because my available credit to my used credit shows as maxed out. It's complete bunk. People are rewarded for using credit while responsible people who pay cash are punished by this FICO system. I have a 4% interest rate on my mortgage, but the credit union tried to milk me at 12% interest on a car loan when they advertised 5% because of my FICO score. My only option is to open up some credit cards or something, but then that shows as excessive inquiries or too much new credit.
Amen! A great IQ score is wonderful, but there are some dummies in the MT world!

Talk about anger...anyone who posts a high IQ score is a pathological liar.....
So, are you saying that no MTs can have high IQ scores?? Just because you don't, we all have to be pathological liars? Sorry.
MOre than one acct
The above is a good recommendation. I have a binder with the account specifics and when I first started with them I would bring it out, review what their specifics were and so on to refresh my memory. Now after years of managing five accounts it is an automatic switch of font, margins, set-ups, etc. After a time you will be doing the same but until then, just make a binder, cards or folder and prior to starting the account bring it out and refresh your memory and keep it handy to refer to when needed. Good luck.

RAD ACCT
I get 9 cpl on two accts using ADAC/MARS, 2.00 report for mammos and 1.50 report using Meditech
acct
I got my own account by actually being a patient there. They actually gave me a rate they were looking to pay and worked from there. Also, I do not print or pick up/drop off. I speak with the office manager if there are any problems. They also have a few other Transcriptionist so we try to send the files to each other if we get stuck but if not it just gets left blank for the doc to fill it in. I have a TAT of 2-4 days.
Need Help to set up an acct.
my aunt just asked me if i'd be interested in doing some work for the doc she works for. i currently work for somebody else, so all of that legwork is done for me. i simply download from her system, type and return.
how do i go about setting up something so a doc can dictate digitally and get it to me. i don't know the first thing about it or where to start! he currently does not do digital, but is considering looking into it, so i can't really turn to them for help on this one!
suggestions greatly appreciated!
No I do better job. On acct 1 yr. nn

How much do you want this acct?
You could stand up for yourself and say you want XX more per line or you arent interesting in doing acct. It would be a headache for MTSO to find another MT to do this acct as well as you, but it wouldnt be impossible. Also MTSO would have time tied up in training new MT. MTSO MIGHT decide giving you a raise is worth it to her or she might decide to invest in someone else. You may have some insight as to which route she would go, but beware, you could lose acct. Again, how much do you want this acct? If you dont want to take a chance on losing it, you can hardly gripe about what MTSO is making on it.
I used to have an acct like that...
I could do 1000-1200 lines in three to four hours. I mostly did one doctor who said the exact same thing over and over, so I had a template for his entire transcription and just had to plug in specifics. Sadly that job went to India :(
If acct is on ASR, what is left for MTs
is the worst of the dictators that have always and will always be a problem. The best speakers are put on ASR to the machine can under stand it. They've got you. It is no faster that using expansions. There is no production increase, so there should be no decrease in MT/ME pay. THAT WAS THE DEAL! I will go back to cut and paste an old post that says what happens.
Get a local acct (sm)
The middle man is making money on your work. Cut out the middle man and you'll make more than $15 an hour.
hospital acct
A little more info would be helful. Medical Records? Acute care? Full time? Benefits? Large hospital? Days/evenings? Where are you (what state)?
i am on verb acct,
and there are very very few reports that actually go out word-for-word verbatim. I do keep it as close as possible within reason and common sense.
I was removed off an acct. after one day -sm
as the client requested I be removed. I don't remember being given any samples (several years ago). It was an ESL, a new acct. etc. So I did have blanks here and there, the MTSO had told me not to worry, they'd QA all the work. For some reason or other they did not, hence the work went through as I had left it. Needless to say the client was not happy, so I was removed from the account. I did not lose my job though, but I was peeved for sure about the whole thing. We eventually parted ways and I have not had that problem since.
Tell MTSO you want off this acct. ;
MTSOs are always complaining about the shortage of good MTs. Your MTSO, I am sure, would rather have you working for her on all your other accrts than risk losing you because of one bad dictator. A good MT is worth more than the sum of lines of one bad dictator. She knows he is bad and to this point, she knows you will muddle through with him. Put a stop to it. She will not quit giving you work over one doctor. I have been in similar positions and have always been taken of acct/dictator that I requested because I could not make money. MTSO is it this for money, she shouldnt expect any different from you.
Unless this is your only acct, worth more for

If IC, you CAN choose to do or not do an acct.

losing acct
Hello Patty,
I lost an acct about two yrs ago and it hurt, but I wasn't backing down. The OM of one clinic knew the OM of another clinic I typed for and they mentioned to each other how much they were paying me per line. The OM from the higher paying clinic called me and asked why I was charging her clinic more. I told her first of all it wasn't really any of her business, but the other acct I had had for 10 yrs and I billed them 50,000 lines/mth, plus I picked up tapes every day. Her particular clinic I only had about 6 mth., billed about 3000 - 5000 lines/mth, and didn't get tapes every day. Needless to say, I never picked up another tape from that clinic, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
No. You said verbatim acct. Maybe that is why

Start looking for another acct and when has
x
On my acct are 2 drs. that all know are horrible.
to just do our best and email acct manager the job number so she can alert the facility. Facility knows the work of those 2 are going to have more than the allowed amount of blanks and we just have to let them know when those jobs are coming through.
I hate Instant Text. It is expensive, long long learning
curve, and too much distraction for me.
Do acct coordinators have the power to....
knock you off the server so you lose whatever work is downloaded to you and, if so, is this pretty standard practice when they want the work to go to their favorites instead???
Maybe they haven't set you up with an e-mail acct
yet. My company assigns us an e-mail but in 5 years I've never used it and don't even remember what it is. Some MTs choose to use it.
As far as the e-mails sent only to you, maybe they are just updating you with all the info, or you could be doing something incorrectly and they have these e-mails in a file and pull them up and send as appropriate.
Maybe they have their e-mail setup so that it sends to each person on the list separately. I don't know how this is done if even it could be done. I get e-mails from my company that don't show any addresses in the To: section that go out to every MT on my account. I like it this way so my e-mail addy (my personal one) isn't being published. I don't have anything to hide, just don't like my e-mail on forwards for everyone to see and possibly harvest.
Call your supervisor or the tech department if you have concerns instead of worrying about something that really is no big deal.
Depends on the acct and how much editing (sm)
on a good account, you can do 400-600 lph, more editing takes more time.
5-10 of each a day with 2 others on acct doing 350-400 exams daily
Works out good if you are paid by exam which I hope you are.
having own acct charge question
Just curious. I have had this account for almost 4 years and have never gone up on my charge to them. Is it appropriate to go up for standard "cost of living" increases in medical transcription? I don't have to do anything except email their work to them when I'm finished with it, but used to print it out and deliver it, but recently finally got them to accepting it via email. What is the standard procedure for charging a bit of a higher rate as time goes by? Thanks very much for any advice.
Depends on what your acct. allows. Many don't follow
s
Anyone ever had a local acct & had to deal
How did you deal with it? I mean the docs like your work and insist on giving you work, but the in house MT who coordinates your work is a Wicked Witch of the West and blocks the docs' attempts. I'm talking small $ here.
If acct pays for spaces, do 2. Every little bit
