You can also charge her with "filing a false report" with police.

In Reply to: Opinions please! - Need advice
The police offered us to do that against our neighbors because they call the cops on us any time we even have relatives over for our childrens' birthday parties. It's not like we get rowdy and drunk. We sit on the deck and eat food for two hours. Oh, dread.
Sue the wench in civil court. Call the police and ask them what you can charge her with.

If there is a police report, that should be all they need -sm
I am going though this too right now, was T-bone, other person ran a red light and they were cited. Their insurance has copped to fault but pushing to get me to settle for $350, really don't want to get lawyers involved but fear I may have to. Also wonder if any of our conversations have been recorded, the agent has never said they were though. I have contemplated settlement but have not agreed to it or any figure. Since our last conversation my back/neck pain as become more of an annoyance (its been almost 2 months since the accident now), 2 doctors told me there was nothing they could do and I was fine....muscular injury....now seeing a chiropractor which is helping, so in the meantime I have not done anything about "settling". You have 2 years by the way in most states. So take your time and be careful what you say basically. I have a knot at the back of my neck the size of a small egg that gets worse the more I work, not good, along with stiffness and minor discomfort. It took time to all come out, so with being rear-ended get checked out and don't believe everything they tell you. My 2 doctors I was less than impressed with, one handed out Vicodin like candy (I have taken 4 in 2 months and he tried to give me more when I called him back a week after the accident), the orthopedist said I had a neck curve but it was from the swelling and time would fix it. How much time? A week, a month, 2 years, what? No advice on how to try to heal myself, etc. Needless to say I don't need this crap on top of everything else, but I have lost work, etc. and it is now harder to work, so I am taking a wait and see approach at this point. Good luck in how you handle it.
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.
What is rate to charge per report not as MT...sm
I really need to know what going rate is...Illinois too...for charging by the report for radiology. I know that some MTs are paid 1.20 per regular and 1.50 for specials, but what is the client charged? An account wants to be charged per report not by the line and I have only charged per line for 10+ years and have no clue what the rates are for this.
In checking with the only person I know getting paid this way for radiology reports, she is paid the above rate, but have not seen any discussion for the charge to the client and don't want to be underbidding....hard enough getting good wages without underbidding for services.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Confused DCmt
In this instance, I would charge per report.
Call me a cynic, but I trust no one! If you charge per report, it's cut and dried. You don't have to worry how they are figuring lines and they don't have to worry how you are figuring lines. And it will be easier for you to keep track of the number of reports you do in a day versus manually counting your lines at the end of every day.

MQ true or false...FALSE
Yep, we are swamped in Ohio but no, that bonus was not offered this past weekend. Line bonus's were.
previous note: "filing job falls through" as in the job runs out of work after
you get it.
Sorry about the expansion question - I forgot your history of 15+ years in the biz and having been a teacher. Sounds like you could be a supervisor in a transcription department or be in sales for an MTSO or a TX equipment company, etc. if you live near a big city???
Charge what the credit card companies charge when they don't get paid on time!!!!
Audio hour charge - what is fair rate to charge company?
Doubt you can charge 15 cpl for VR work to the docs - you can't even charge them 12 for straight

False. They are training everyone for it but
LMAO,oooh gawd, you're just killing us here! LOL
False advertisng ..........
How can a company brag about their ability to meet or exceed HIPAA regulations if they offshore? There is just no 100% way they can guarantee such a thing because once it leaves this country, there are no laws governing those things in another country. To me that is just false advertising and very misleading to their customers, whom I question even know it is leaving these shores. 
unfortunately not false advertising.
It says UP TO $60K. When I worked FT, I made that much. Ahhh, those were the days!
MQ-True or False about Work
Can this be true???? My girlfriend who works out of the Ohio office left me a message saying that she had gotten a message over the week end from the Ohio office with the following incentive: For every 10 reports that you typed, you would receive 25 dollars--IS THIS POSSIBLE with all the rest of us out of work in Amherst--if there is so much work in Ohio, why are we not helping???
What you're saying is completely false.

Enter "Psychology" as your key word. Lowest I found in my area (Philadelphia, PA) was 62 grand a year. Plus just the respect that one gets from having a college degree is worth it!
Go back to school. I'm taking Psychology as well and can't wait to get off this dead-end life of MT.
"Faux" is French for false. - nm

Not to give you false hopes, but I actually
got my period for about 3 months with each of my 3 pregnancies. I also had faint lines on my pregnancy testers. I'm sure there are others out there who have had periods as well - just tune into your body for other symptoms of pregnancy - i.e. I always also suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum instantly and for 9 months for all 3. Yuck. Good luck to you! Keep the faith!
We have had to endure so many of their false alarms about warnings
that no one pays attention to any of them, including those that are obviously going to be a danger. People are tired of being told to live in fear of everything, so they ignore it.
I agree - it is a false sense of security.
There are pedophiles everywhere that aren't registered. I just can't believe that the laws aren't tougher on these people. Anybody could come up with $500 bail - that's like a slap on the wrist. This guy has made me very uncomfortable for a long time. Last Thanksgiving when we were out of town, he strung Christmas lights all over the house to "surprise the kids," and he brings them over Christmas presents every year. Thank God I have never let my children be alone with him. The next time my husband tells me I'm over-protective, I'll be sure to bring this up! Really, is there such a thing as over-protective in this day and age?
Not false info. I'm telling you we just changed this! lol
No more M-Tec and Andrews.
Unfortunately, false statements of high pay attract
you don't have to charge $60/HR - all you have to do is charge a good rate and then..
work smart, not hard. If you have a great dictator, charge him 14 cpl on a 65 char gross line, then set up your templates and word expanders, you can make $80/hr. But you need all three to work together, otherwise you might only be making $60/hr. Some people are just really good at what they do - shouldn't they make more if they are more productive?
I'd still charge by line, just charge a lower
rate, like maybe 8 cpl. Do you have to pickup and deliver work? You could also setup a one-month contract until you see how it goes and then you can figure out the best way to charge and go from there. You could also charge a flat rate per page and keep it fairly low.
One office I charge .12, another I charge $2.25 page--nm

Could this be termed false advertising. Seems like a lot more people on the other board are saying
the same thing about MQ. If she is so religious as you claim why would she steer people to a company to have them not be able to pay their bills. Seems a bit odd to me.
Me, too. Only if I send receipt do they know it was read. False information.

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.
Please check out Snopes.com for false statements/urban legends
before posting. This is an email that has been circulating for a while and it is not true. See the link for an explanation.
So totally and completely false! Plenty of employers test who are not partners with top 3!

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.
police?
imagine speaking about a topic, and having the police pick out one item and not have a thing to say about the topic itself. Must be interesting to just watch out for those mispelt words, and have nothing else to say. Must work for my old company. Everyone else is wrong - and you say nothing so you cannot be caught lol.
Police scanner going 24/7. Fun! nm

police department right behind us
Funny thing is the police department is right behind us--they probably hear her--just kidding. Her ex-husband workes on the volunteer fire department housed in the same building as police. He has probably already told them all she is crazy!
Not the grammar police BUT
If you want to be taken seriously, you need to make sure that ALL your written communications, including HERE, are grammatically correct.

Hey, no more spelling police!
We have spell check!!!! If you spell something wrong, it underlines it in red! WOOOO HOOOOO
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.
wow couldn't you call the police?
there are restrictions all over regarding barking dogs in our state and it doesn't mean just at night. of course i wouldn't want to be enemies with a neighbor who lives that close to me and is ignorant enough to leave the dog barking anyway. that is so awful.
That should be "can" - typo police. nm

This happened to me once. I saw 2 police cruisers,
a fire truck, and 2 ambulances in front of my house. I ignored it for a while but then my curiosity got the best of me and I went outside. It turned out my husband was in diabetic shock in the car in the driveway after having driven erratically all the way home. Someone reported his driving and the above all responded to our address.
My husband is a police captain.
He has 21 years on the force. He makes about $40,000.00 a year. I make less than he does. We do okay though. I used to make way more before offshoring ruined this business.
what R U ? The Troll Alert Police?
yes I know that spelling police...I use my spellchecker --sm
to separate them, but it does not work on this site. geez.
Get over yourself, Grammar Police - sheesh!
The self-righteousness of the Grammatically-Correct- Nazis out there is unbelievable. Most of us take a quick break from work, dash off a quick post on this forum, and then get back to work. Not only is there little time for proofreading on this board, but in this tiny little box it's nearly impossible. And well-written, effective communication doesn't necessarily have to be the King's English, either. (Read "Huckleberry Finn" someday.)
We all understand that and get the gist of what is meant when someone types a post with misspelled word or a grammatical error in it. Usually those who feel they are above reproach when it comes to errors of any kind are..........MANAGEMENT.
Please ignore the grammar police - I do! They take away from (sm)
the point here. And, perhaps that is the point. We don't know who these oh-so-correct posters are. Perhaps they're management or ceo's. Distracting us with this nonsense won't help our cause. What is important is to get a consensus and, perhaps, write a petition that all who are willing can sign. If we can do this on-line we can each send to whichever newspaper we choose and forward to our congressmen (and women) and senators. Does anyone here know how to set up a blog in which a petition can be drawn up. Let's use our talents (and our significant others' talents) to make this happen. And, yes, there were incidents a couple of years ago when a disgruntled employee overseas threatened to release patient information. There was nothing that could be done as HIPPA does not apply to off shore companies. I find that fact to be interesting and slightly suspect. It brings to mind lobbyists and makes me wonder "why" the HIPPA laws were written in such a manner. There is quite a lot of info here on that incident. Do a search on "release of patient information" or something like that and it will probably rise to the surface! If we all do what lawyers and pundits call "due diligence" (meaning extensive research) and have a forum on which to share this information we can put together a compelling letter and petition. Keep the conversation going and maybe we will find the right people on this website that can do a portion of what needs to be done, and so on.
Don't worry-I'm not the grammar police...(sm)
as you can see from my postings. I type and (talk) very fast and make grammatical errors and typos that I would never allow to be sent out in a document! Communication here is not about perfect punctuation; I believe it should be about open and free discussions about the issues of MT's. Not grammar or punctuation.
There's general, insurance, police, others. nm
