and go over words. It is not something I would suggest. It is so not worth the trouble.

Is QA going to call the office and ask?...because otherwise=
they can't fix it either. If he said lady at the beginning and you have no other hints (i.e. prostate check?) then go with lady. Only send to QA if they are going to call and get the scoop.
I would call and tell the office manager
the problem and state that if they cannot provide a clear schedule of patient names, then there is not much you can do other than leave a blank for the patient name when not certain. The problem is on their end, not yours. Is it possible that can scan them and send them in an e-mail rather than faxing??
Yes, I do. The office staff are always very kind to me when I call, and I just

I know you might be apprehensive to call the office and ask for samples, but (sm)
perhaps you could just call the OM and say you'd like to have a couple of past reports so you can make sure to keep the formatting consistent. I don't think they'd mind either way, but if you approach it as though you're actually doing them a favor (by attempting to "keep the formatting consistent"), then it might be easier for you to do.
Call Dr office and leave message about this.

If I call the doctor's office and ask for results of an
MRI done on me, do they have to give me the results or do I have to just wait on the doctor to call me?
I got the call; it originated out of the NJ MQ office; I verified the number. sm.
The individual asked whether or not I had received the letter announcing that a package would be coming my way. State the facts, girls.
Call your state insurance comm. office
In some states, they cannot make you take out these insurance policies unless you want them or unless you don't have insurance on something that might be collateral for your loan (i.e. an automobile). Are you saying the insurance alone was $2000+ or the entire balance? That question is really NOMB, but I ask because if it is simply the insurance premium cost, I would think you could find such at a much less expensive rate going with a private insurer. I'm an IC and I have disability as well as $250,000 of life insurance on me and the DH and $50,000 on the three kids and I don't pay $2000 per year for all of that. If they coerced you into taking out these policies, you should be able to cancel them. In my state, I have three business days to cancel a contact or any part thereof. Check with your state insurance commissioner's office. Good luck.
i do NOT get paid for spaces, my best friend does.. both out of the same office -- go figure

She needs to call her State Attorney General's office and the police.
She has been scammed. She'll be lucky if they don't continue drawing off her account or do identity theft since she gave out her private information.
Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
:
For QA consulting I'm paid per hour; QA instructing (college) paid salary, QA editing paid per li
I am an IC and work for two different MTSOs as well as instruct at a business college.
Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

Pay kids work around office, renovate office.

if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm
:+
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid
per keystroke, but that'll never happen. I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us. I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything! Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job. I will never go back to the national's again.
I feel for you though. I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals. I just happened to luck into the job I have now. I just applied at the right time.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
Office 2003 so far, but going to Office 2007 as soon as I can. nm

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly

30 day TAT in this office ... office politics at its best
I have kept in touch with an MT I worked with at the last in-house job (radiology). This was inpatient radiology and also an outpatient radiology clinic the hospital operated.
One of the girls, a person who at one time folded towels but who was hired as a clerk, was just discovered to ahve not mailed out reports for 30 days. These include both in house reports and outpatient reports. They have been sitting on her desk because she "has not had time to do them."
What do you make of this? The lead MT is close to this girl (hence her being moved from housekeeper to clerk) and is trying to minimize the impact that not having the reports mailed to referring physicians' offices, as if it is a minor problem (how they found out about it is a doc's office called the MT's supervisor and asked why 30 days worth of reports were mailed to their office yesterday.
They were keeping it from the director of radiology. I think this is BIG and that heads should roll for negligence.
What do you think?
at home vs office - i am in office
well, I really was referring to the MONSTER MANAGER that I have, who has her favorites here, and she assigns them the easy doctors who say the same thing over and over, you know. I have to do something. I am losing my SELF at this point, with no church and no family. The stuff on here about running out of work, my lack of computer savvy, all has me just frozen. MOre about in-office. Do you have little habits like talking out loud to the dr? Someone will complain about you. Do you ever say a cussword? Someone will complain. Do you ever sigh? Complaints. About age - I was offered 2 trans. positoins in San Diego before I came here. I had gone to a seminar about how to look for work over age 55, had revamped my resume and my "presenting" self, and it made all the difference. Things are way different than they were evern 10 years ago, you will be judged by someone younger than you, but in this line of work they do appreciate experience and reliability. And the computer doesn't care if you're pretty. It's not your age unless you are sickly. Don't give up!! if that's what you want.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
What office are you out of
and how long you been there?
not with every MQ office
It is on the list of "dangerous abbreviations" and is to be coverted to mL.
all along with the ATL office also
and just now trying to enforce all of the sudden. I have only met quota a handful of times since starting DQS over a year ago. NOTHING has ever been said to me directly. Even contacted the office numerous times concerning this and just get blew off. So frustrated!!
Is this every MQ office?
I have been with them 8 years and I have not seen or heard anything about a check other than on this board.
my office
My office is also my study room. It is lovely with a nice corner-style desk. I have a nice music set-up with cd changer, etc. and a nice sofa with a really pretty pine cabinet that holds all my extra "stuff". I have nice wall grouplngs with pictures of the grandkids and other things that make me happy on the shelves that are amongst the photos. It has a large window looking out to the front yard and a ceiling fan for a breeze.
I have another picture that I picked up at a yard sale last week that I also want to put up. It's a neat and quite large original pastel that looks like something you's see on Antiques Roadshow. In fact, if they ever come to my town I'll take it in and hope it's a treasure.
which office?
what region are you in and did you have to ask for it if you don't mind telling?
Office
For tax purposes I have my own office. Also helps me to be able to "go to the office" and shut the door when not working as it seems I get more done this way. It might be small 8 x 8 or so but is large enough. I also will not keep any of our household finances in my office -- strictly for work related items only -- others are kept in a small office in the spare bedroom. That way I do not feel I am at work "all day long." But that is just me. Still work in sweats the first few hours, start to work within 15 minutes of getting up with coffee. Tried the other way with office in spare bedroom or living room and just did not work as I felt that the work was always there with me. Patti
I have my office,

Not in my office
If you hang up or get cut off for some reason, you go back to the report you left off with. OP, can you tell us which office? I am in Chicago and hope it's here. I get stuck doing all of the ESLs and 20+ minute reports too.
why not ask? if you were in an office,
would you ask your friends there their thoughts/opinions?
What does your office look like?
Redecorating my home office..Maybe a newer/nicer surrounding can get me more motivated.. going kind of retro decor.. what does your work environment look like? Just curious..
Office
Mine is in an extra bedroom (converted to office). Working very well for me. Away from distractions, can close door if I need to.
