Consumer Credit Corp. ? Anyone have any info? (sm) -
Posted By: nn
I seem to have some high balances on a couple of credit cards and am curious as to whether their claim for negotiating a lower interest rate is valid. It would certainly help me pay these off quickly.
They claim they negotiate these lower rates, set you a payment schedule, disperse the money as agreed upon to the creditors and there is no charge to you. I am sorry, but I am a bit dubious. Their web site shows BBB logo on the bottom, that does make me feel a little better about it.
Any input appreciated. Am NOT looking for a free ride, just checking out my options so please no flaming.
Has anyone ever ran out of work for SS? -

To all you CHERRY PICKERS...This one's for you! -
Posted By: KyMt
I have been struggling all morning transcribing STAT reports that are OUT of turn-around. Not to mention that these STAT reports are dictated by the worst ESL I've ever done. Meanwhile, everytime I go in to grab a new dictation, I can't help but notice a certain CHERRY PICKER grabbing up every current report dictated by the best.
So if there are any cherry pickers out there bold enough to answer my question, could you please just tell me why??? What gives you the right? Do you not even realize what you are doing to the rest of us? Why not just join in and divide the misery for a while so we can all have a decent line count at the end of the day? GRRR.
Thanks for letting me vent...

KVM switches...sm -

I have a Linksys KVM switch but for some reason it isn't working. The monitor will work with both and only if the mouse/keyboard are plugged in. If they are plugged in, it doesn't matter because they don't work. It's such a hassle!
Does anyone have recommendations for a better KVM switch to use for two jobs?

I am doing something very different from my usual transcription. They want it single space and a different format. I am using Courier New 10 and it looks like they are getting a heck of a lot on the page for what I am charging - I am working for ZIP with this setup. Can anyone tell me what font to use, this is so small when I print it, that I can barely read it, my eyes are killing me as well. Help! You can E-mail me if you wish, I am very, very tired, 12 hour days on this with little to show for it.
What status are you? -
Posted By: Interesting Info!
An employer should constantly evaluate the employment status of its workers to ascertain if any of them should be reclassified from an independent contractor to an employee. Misclassifying a worker could end up being quite costly in terms of time, money, and resources. If an employer is forced to reclassify independent contractors as employees, the payment of back taxes, penalties, and interest could create major financial problems. Ultimately, the risks of incorrect classification are borne by the employer.
These factors should be used as indicators to determine whether sufficient control exists for a worker to be classified as an employee. However, they should serve only as a guide. They are subjective in nature, and each factor may not be present in all situations. Moreover, the weight apportioned to each one is not always constant. No single factor can determine a worker's status; all must be used in conjunction with each other to assess whether sufficient control is present to establish an employee-employer relationship. They are as follows.
1. Instructions. If the person for whom the services are rendered has the right to instruct the worker how, when, and where to work, then the worker is ordinarily an employee. This control factor is present if the employer retains the right to require compliance with the instructions, irrespective of whether the employer actually exerts the right to control. The instructions can be either oral or in the form of manuals and/or written procedures that state the details and means in which the result is to be achieved. In contrast, an independent contractor is responsible only for the end result.
2. Training. An employer trains workers by requiring them to work with experienced employees, holding training meetings, corresponding with them, or any of several other methods. By training a worker, the employer explicitly or implicitly states that the services to be rendered must be performed in a particular manner. The employer demonstrates a right to control by teaching the worker to achieve the desired results in that manner. Independent contractors, however, use their own methods and means to obtain a result and do not receive training from an employer.
3. Integration. If a worker's services are integrated into the business operations, then the worker is generally subject to direction and control. When the success or continuation of a business depends to an appreciable degree on the performance of certain services by a worker, those services are assumed to be subject to a certain amount of control by the employer.
4. Services Rendered Personally. The requirement that services must be rendered personally by the worker indicates that the employer is interested in the methods used to accomplish the work as well as in the result. Generally, inability to delegate the services to another individual indicates that the employer controls the details and means by which a result is to be achieved.
5. Hiring, Supervising, and Paying Assistants. if the employer hires, supervises, and pays a worker's assistants, then the employer has control over those assistants and the worker should be considered an employee. However, if the worker hires, supervises, and pays his own assistants and provides the employer with materials and labor under a contract in which the worker is responsible only for the results, he is an independent contractor.
6. Continuing Relationship. Continuous interaction between the worker and employer indicates an employee relationship. Such a relationship may exist in which work is performed at frequently recurring, though irregular, intervals.
7. Set Hours of Work. Establishing certain hours in which a worker is to perform a job indicates an employer's control. The fact that an employer can dictate a worker's hours is indicative of an employee relationship.
8. Full Time Required. If a worker must devote full time to the employer's business, the employer has control over the amount of time the individual actually spends working and, by implication, restricts the worker from performing other gainful work. In contrast, independent contractors are free to work when and for whom they choose.
9. Doing Work on Employer's Premises. Workers required to perform their services on the employer's premises when the work could be performed elsewhere are under the employer's control, which is beyond that which would ordinarily be exerted over an independent contractor. The importance of this factor depends on the nature of the services involved and the extent to which an employer generally requires its employees to perform services on its premises. Control over the place of work is indicated when the employer compels the worker to travel a designated route, canvass a territory within a certain time, or work at a specific place.
10. Order or Sequence Set. If an employer has the right to indicate the order or sequence in which work is to be performed, then the worker is probably an employee, particularly if the same results can be achieved in a different order or sequence.
11. Oral or Written Reports. The requirement that a worker submit regular reports to the employer can indicate a degree of control. It means the worker must account for his actions on the job to the employer.
12. Payment by the Hour, Week, or Month. When a worker is paid by the hour, week, or month and such payment is guaranteed, whether or not certain results are achieved, the worker is generally an employee. In contrast, payments made by the job or on a straight commission basis generally indicate that the worker is an independent contractor.
13. Payment of Business and/or Traveling Expenses. The IRS is of the view that when an employer pays a worker's business or traveling expenses, the worker is ordinarily an employee. Conversely, a worker who is paid on a job basis and must pay all incidental expenses is generally an independent contractor. Another issue to consider when evaluating this factor is the agreement between the employer and worker as to how such expenses are to be paid.
14. Furnishing Tools and Materials. If the employer furnishes tools, materials, and other equipment for a job, this indicates that the worker is an employee. Independent contractors ordinarily furnish their own tools and materials. In determining what the classification should be, the value of the tools and materials supplied to the worker should be considered as well.
15. Significant Investment. A significant investment by a worker in the facilities used in performing services for another is a factor that often establishes an independent contractor relationship. Conversely, the lack of investment in facilities indicates a dependence on the employer for the facilities--which means an employee relationship exists. The rationale is that whoever provides the equipment necessary to perform the services controls the use of the equipment.
16. Realization of Profit or Loss. A worker who stands the risk of suffering a financial loss or realizing financial gain as a result of providing services to the employer is generally an independent contractor. In contrast, a worker who has no risk of financial loss is usually an employee.
17. Working For More Than One Firm. If a worker performs services for more than one unrelated person or firm at the same time, it generally indicates that the worker is an independent contractor.
18. Making Services Available to the Public. Workers who make their services available to the general public on a regular and consistent basis are usually independent contractors.
19. Right to Discharge. Employers generally possess the right to discharge only employees. The threat of dismissal demonstrates a degree of control over workers. In contrast, the IRS's viewpoint is that independent contractors cannot be fired unless they violate the terms of the contract for services rendered.
20. Right to Terminate. If the worker providing the services can terminate the relationship with the employer at any time without incurring liability, an employee relationship usually exists. Conversely, an independent contractor engaged to accomplish a task or provide a service may incur a legal liability if the relationship is unilaterally terminated before the results of the task are accomplished.
These 20 factors may not always be appropriate for determining a worker's employment status, especially in the case of a professional, such as a physician, lawyer, or dentist. Control may not be the dominant issue in determining a professional's employment status. Revenue Rulings 72-203 and 66-274 state that other factors should be considered when determining the employment status of a professional, taking into consideration the skill required for the task, the intent of the parties involved in the employment relationship, and the custom in the industry.

The electronic medical record has replaced MTs at my job..it's all over! -
Posted By: MimiMT
My job has been scanning all the medical records over to electronic medium and the doctors are now taking laptops in the exam room with them and typing in all the info, so basically, my job will be obselete once this transition is over.
Our boss has been doing a comparison of the clinics who now have the electronic medical record--those docs went from dictating thousands of lines in a weekly period to less than 50!!! Of course this is a tremendous difference and it's "lights out" for us MTs. We've got about a good year before it's all done.
Have any of you been affected by this new technology?
P.S. I didn't care so much anyhow...I hate this industry and this job, so I've been looking for other employment anyhow.
Anyone being penalized for sending reports to QA? -
Posted By: Confused and disillusioned
I guess I have it all wrong when it comes to QA. I thought it stood for quality assurance. I send reports to QA when I have a blank. I put a blank when I am not 100% sure of what I heard, including the spelling of the patient's name. I want to make sure the patient gets their report typed up accurately. I want to turn in the best work I can do. Why is it that wanting a second set of ears to confirm what you thought you heard a bad thing ending up in being penalized or terminated if it goes beyond a certain %? I am very confused. I refuse to "guess" just to fill in blanks even if it means I will be fired.
OMG!!! Why do ESL's sit there not dictating for 5 minutes at a time???? -

Tired of SS, any "good" places to work -
Posted By: Stacey
I know there are many messages on the subject, but am getting tired of putting up with SS bull and would like to know of for.
I will have 1 year of experience in March. I'm tired of my line counts never adding up and the differences in the way QA corrects things so I never know which way I'm supposed to do things. It never fails that I can be making 100% on most everything I do, but when it comes audit time they can find things that bring my audit score to 1 or 2 percentage points below the required 98%. 
If there is a company out there that does not require weekends I would love to know as I don't have anybody to watch my 4 and 5 year olds every other weekend.
I'm sorry, I know this is not a grammatically correct message as I am very upset and just want out. The only problem is that I have nowhere to go once I do get out so I need a new job first.
Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Scam companies/schools that recommend them -
Posted By: MTTOMANY
 In regards to scam companies mainly Toth—I also wanted to add this note . . . there is a school (a small one) that provides passing students with a list of places that hire new grads. I cannot say the name of that school, as I have seen them advertise here and I don’t want to point fingers. Anyway, I do not know if she still has Toth on her list for newbies searching for potential jobs, but she did at one time. She claims she checks out the companies before she lists them, which is false. I personally informed the school about Toth because I along with four other MTs who had taken her course were cheated out of pay. She told me she didn't put Toth on the list – that she checks them out etc. Not too long after that a new grad approached me because she found that Toth was on the list and wondered if it was the same company that had cheated so many newbies. I told her that it was and she didn't take the job. At least I saved one MT. J Anyway, please do your own research when applying for jobs. Some schools don't care. They just like to say that they have a high percentage of working grads (they fail to mention the grads are not getting paid)! Please use caution. The best way to learn about the good places is by word of mouth. Okay-Thank you and have a good night. I am getting off my soapbox now.

Inscribe pay/line count question -

A lot of MTs or no MTs? sm -
Posted By: crispycritterMT
I see a lot of posts here about a lot of good MTs looking for work (including myself). Then I see the MTSOs, etc. saying the labor pool is "scarce" and they can't find good MTs. I hear this over and over again, especially from the big Nationals. I'm confused. Isn't it just an excuse to offshore and/or go to VR? Aren't they bothering to look or are they just assuming there is no labor. Where do they get their information? I don't get it. Or is it because nobody wants to work for the 5 cpl they're offering? What do they expect? Again I'm confused.
I see posting all the time about transcription, why are you staying, really? -
Posted By: Why, why, why?
First of all let me tell you about myself. I am way past the time when I have to "make" a living, do not have children to raise, can work if I want and not if I want, have just reached that point of not having to put up with much of anything anymore. My question is to you- yes you- the one who is posting here complaining and complaining about how this work has gone downhill and it has. If you are younger and really need the money and need to work and make a decent salary, why are you hanging on to something that does not look like it will change? I see the letters supposedly being written to the president, 60 minutes and the like. What do you think that will do, if anything? I am really surprised that the trend in this job is sinking even further in the money department, no raises ever and if you want more money, then work long, long hours and 7 days a week. Instead of fussing and being irritated about the lack of work, the lack of money, etc., why in the world do you not try to find another "real" profession before you get to an age to where you would really be stuck, that is not ever being able to pull out from this hole ever. I could not raise a family on what I make now but that is the difference in me and most I read on here. Ladies (with an occasional gent thrown in here or there) what are you thinking about? Why not make a change while you are young and can? There are loads of jobs for the medical field, if this is what interests you. Staying at home with the kids was perhaps ok at 1 time but not anymore. Why not get out while the getting is good and you still have a chance to really enjoy your job while at the same time being able to survive? Think about it.

Finally cools off and what do we have? -
Posted By: Mainer
SKUNKS! I guess it was too hot for them to come out in the past month. Now they come out to scrounge around the neighborhood at 8:00 p.m. to pick through the trash bags that people leave out on the roadside 3 days before trash pick up. My whole house smells like skunk.
But you can't stop these people that work the M-F shift and gather up all of their garbage in garbage bags and leave them out on Sunday evening so they won't have to get up 5 minutes early on Tuesday, which is trash day, to take the bags out to the roadside. Yes, there is a law (more like a "town ordinance" that says no trash until the morning of pickup). It's not enforced though and we just have to put up with the lazy people.
Oh well, "Eau de skunkola" is the fragrance for this evening.

Quick Look Drug Book -
Posted By: NCMT
The company I recently began working for asked me to purchase the Quick Look Drug Book as a reference tool, as they use it. So, I got one...bought it used online so it wasn't that expensive, and I was needing a new drug reference book anyway.
I am just not impressed with this book. While it does have very useful information in it, I find it is not laid out in the most convenient manner. The drugs are listed alphabetically by the generic name. So, what if the doc says the brand name of a drug? How am I to use this book to look up the spelling, etc. of a brand name drug if I don't know the generic name of the drug so I can find it??? I have hardly used this book at all since I got it....I still go online to look up meds. I feel like I wasted my money.
Maybe I'm just missing something here. If anyone has any insight please let me know. Or if any of you have a better suggestion for a drug guide that is laid out in a better format for MTs, I am open to suggestions.
TIA!!

There's going to be a industry-wide conference in Kentucky in April to hash out the current state and future of VR/SR/ASR/SRT. I think the first order of business should be to decide on a name (or initials) and stick to it.
Anyway, MTs can click on the below link and then click on their link that starts with "MTIA and AHDI seek your feedback...." I haven't taken it yet so don't know whether it's just radio buttons to select canned answers or whether there's a place for written answers. If there is, I'd be almost tempted to write a response that looks like some of the VR output I've seen!
Have at it, MTs. Let your voices be heard.

Line Count Question... -
Posted By: Just askin'
I am an independent contractor. I have always done my line count with my Instant Text Pro V line counter that works within my expander. Recently, my MTSO told me that I am doing my line count "wrong" and are therefore billing her "wrong". She said that she pays by characters and spaces / 65 = lines and that I am to figure that by going into MS Word Tools and using their Word Count tool and looking up characters and spacesand then dividing by 65. (I am NOT to use "line count", I am to use characters = spaces / 65 = lines)
Well, I have a little problem with that. First of all, that ONLY counts characters and spaces. What about hard page breaks? Indents? Returns? Why should I not be paid for a return just like I would be for the letter "k"? That's why I use a professional line counter.
Just to show you how it adds up, I just did one small document using the different approaches:
Line Counter: 5167 characters = 79 lines
Word Tool: 4763 characters = 73 lines.
At my current cpl rate, sure... That (as she pointed out) "only" adds up to .48 cents. For that ONE document. Over 20 documents in a day? That's $9.60 for the day. For the pay period, that's $96. That matters to me.
What should I do? I have done it this way for years. I know that doing it her way means she pays me less because I am giving away "free" work, but I am going to stick to my guns on this one. What would you say?
( I am asking for opinions, whether you agree with me or not. I truly want your opinion. However.... Flames? I discount flames as coming from an unstable mind, so please save your time if you're just looking to flame. Sorry, I hate to have to say that "disclaimer", but too many of these boards have gotten to be like high school catfights over nothing, and I graduated from high school 17 years ago and am SO over it...)
