technically not a drug called Toprol should this be transcribed as Toprol-XL though dictated as only Toprol. Have not been called on this yet, but just wondering what others do.

are you transcribing or coding?
Subject: are you transcribing or coding?
If you are transcribing, the correct way is:
V code: Parent-child conflict.
Unless you are a certified coder, it would be wise to avoid inserting the actual code into the transcription as the MD/psychologist did not dictate it. The codes can change from year to year and you could enter the wrong code depending on the date of the service and which coding resource you are using.

Subject: Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.
You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.
