How many times can you

take a test for the same company? If you don't pass the test the first time will they never hire you? Or do you keep taking the test until you can pass to their expectations?

I can't count how many times (sm)
I've seen insurance companies request notes on a patient just to get an MRI authorized, for a patient to get a nonformulary med, etc. The canned templates in the EMRs I've seen create sloppy notes and most look like they've been pasted together like a ransom note, not a clean, concise document. One doc told me he would never use his EMR system to document a visit because it was rude not to make eye contact while a patient was talking to you! There has already been one EMR company that threatened clinics with "freezing" their software if they don't hand over their wallets! EMRs have a long way to go before I ever feel threatened by them.
Maybe it would help if posts had times on them
so we could see when each was posted. Sometimes it's two people posting at once, and one person got interrupted in the middle and took a while to finish and send.
Thank you a hundred times over. = )
I don't know. I have asked my recruiter a couple times .....sm
about the line count and I have received no answer.
Maybe try a specialty doctor's office first. Most times
they will hire you, in-house, and go from there.
It is very difficult to find an at-home MT job just starting out; however, there are some companies who will hire you. I personally do not know of any, but if you do a search, maybe you will come across one.
When I started 25 years ago, it was in a private physician's office and I just moved on up from there.
Good luck!
India is hardly ahead of us. I have posted this several times now.
MTs required to do the same amount of work. Do you call that being ahead of us? I don't think so. The only reason there are a lot more Indian MTs, or from other countries for that matter is because it's about a 3 to 1 ratio. Yes, there is a lot of dictation going overseas, but keep in mind that the quality coming back is very poor and requires American editors to clean up the mess, which equals jobs to Americans.
I make 2-3 times what I made as a nurse. nm
As you'll hear 1000 times, there IS no school that SM
can offer an MT certificate. You have to take the test through AAMT.
Also, what offices and hospitals want? A person who can sit down and do their work without a lot of discussion or BS. Just get the work out, make it correct. I was in a hiring position for several years at the largest hospital in my state. I didn't care about certification. I cared about test performance.
Of course a CMT behind your name means A LOT. That test is very difficult and, for the most part, if you have passed that test, no more discussion is necessary.
Linked the website. They've never responded the few times I've tried. nm
