Mayo Clinic
They have run that ad in "Advance" for years.  I had a friend who applied for it and they told her they were just "making up a list".  I don't know if that has changed or not.  Also, to work at home, you have to live in the Phoenix area-- no way for me!  It used to be nice when I moved there in 1964 with large citrus groves, beautiful clean air, etc., but now with the traffic, high crime, illegal aliens, gangs, road rage, shootings every day, etc., it is just like living in LA.  If that appeals to you, go for it, but not me!  I have a horse and used to enjoy riding along the canals and cotton fields, etc.  Now it is just wall to wall houses about 3 feet apart. I got out of there in 1997 and not a moment too soon!.  They are trying to make the rest of Arizona just like it and ruining everything, unfortunately.  It used to be a beautiful place, but not any more.  Besides, all the Californians are moving here with their money and are pushing housing prices out of sight. 
Mayo Clinic

I know for a fact that all of the Mayo System clinics here in Minnesota run ads just to collect resumes. They will lie and tell you that the opening has been filled, but I have an insider who tells me what is really going on and you also see the ad continue to run. There are no job openings. Not nice.


 


Spheris/Mayo Clinic

Anyone with info on Spheris and/or Mayo Clinic Scottsdale?  I've been an IC with MQ for 10 years and it's time for a change.  Need to convert to employee status.  Want to still work at home.  Mayo may offer that after a while.  Spheris is at home all the time.  Anyone know cost for health insurance with Spheris for employee and spouse and child?  Thanks for any info!


if this is about the Mayo Clinic - then forget about it - sm
The Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale has been running an ad for transcriptionists for almost three years now. NO LIE!
He is a Mayo Clinic doctor - he does a ton...
.....
Mayo Clinic in AZ has an ad for in-house MT in Advance Mag, $19/hr base pay. sm

Plus shift diff and bonus, plus $1000 sign-on bonus, and relocation $. What a great offer if it's true.


Search The Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Mayo Clinic or other big institutions for research. nm

But I'm talking about a large, multi-vet clinic - sm
where the techs have their hands full all day long with people/animals coming and going, helping with procedures, etc. There is a front desk with receptionists that work non-stop, and I doubt if any has the time to sit down and transcribe. So for the small, one-or-two-vet practice, I can see not using MT, but for a large clinic like this it could be a possibility. Also, there are many large veterinary teaching hospitals in the country, such as Cornell in NY, and that is on an even larger scale. Those might use transcription, as well.
OSi does Mayo in Florida. NM

Mayo in Scottsdale
They just make a list-- in case they ever have an opening. They have been running their ad for years.
how about using Kraft Fat-Free Mayo?

Not sure how it works with cooking, but I can't think why it wouldn't do just fine.


 


 


Health department here said straight mayo. SM
Slathered it on, put on a shower cap and left it for hours.  Not only were the lice gone, but our hair was so soft and shiny and conditioned!
As a former supervisor of Mayo's Transcription Dept.
I can say that, yes, they continually run ads whether they are hiring or not.  HR keeps resumes on file and refers to them as they need to fill a slot.  Mayo is not the easiest place to work.  Incoming MTs have to go through pretty rigorous training and you have to have 3 passing QAs before you can work out of the home.  Many of the dictators are horrible due to their very thick accents or racing dictation methods.  It's been a while since I've worked there, but when I did, I know that their word processing system was rather cumbersome and required a lot of mouse work and their Expander wasn't very good either.
clinic is not walk-in or ER notes; it is clinic
could be a small clinic with just famiy practice, internal medicine, maybe physical therapy, or it could be like mine, large, every speciality, cardio, nephro, neuro, ortho, endo, surgery, ENT, podiatry, ophtho, derm...
I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)

When I worked at Mayo the desks had the capability of raising up. The keyboard,

so you could stand and type.  It was a refreshing change.  I really liked the set up.  Mayo paid a chunk of change for those desks and there were over 90 MTs in our office.


Hasn't happened yet.

Has your pay already been cut by MQ?  I am an IC for MQ and this has not happened to me yet.  Is it a proven fact that this is going to happen or just speculation?


My son is only 7, so he hasn't caught on yet
that I'm not talking to him. He still says "what" all the time...lol. So, I'll look at him and say, "do you know what flagginationalization means?" Cracks him up every time.
Very little hasn't changed...sm

since the beginning of time. It's not just the 'religious fanatics' who have changed. The human race has evolved in their beliefs since Adam and Eve. Christians don't follow the rules of the Old Testament per se, because Jesus fulfilled the laws. There aren't too many religions who still make animal sacrifices. A woman who is having her period is no longer considered unclean. Pork is not considered taboo in the Christian faith, and Catholics aren't limited to eating only fish on Fridays. There were religions who believed in human sacrifice, but I doubt that goes on very much any more.


People have evolved in that we no longer believe the world is flat. We don't believe you are going to get AIDS by touching someone who has it. We no longer believe that a woman who is having her period can't go swimming.


Who believes the same things they believed when they were six? How different are your beliefs than your parents? Not just about religion, but about anything.


I see it as a career BUT so far it hasn't ...sm
paid like a career. I hope that will change the more exp I get.
How do you know the physician hasn't
reported it. No, I do not believe it is our place to do so.
Your sister hasn't been looking in the right places. (sm)
There are companies that hire coders to work at home. Tell her to try www.aviacode.com, www.lexicode.com, www.amphionmedical.com, www.btcworldwide.com, and www.peakhs.com. Tell her to subscribe to the AHIMA jobs board. They have plenty of jobs (some are in-house and some are work at home). Hope this helps.

I can't seem to get anything in writing from them, the rules are fluid.


What are you all being told?


She hasn't filed for a divorce yet -

Because the state she lives in does not recognize legal separation, she had an agreement drawn up by her corporate atty.  This agreement handed the house (quick claim deed) and business over to her, while her "future ex" draws his pension and moved to warmer weather (California).  This all happened when things were friendly. Now she wants a divorce so she can get on with her life (with her new beau she is buying the house with).  BAD idea since she has not filed for a divorce.  Anyway, thanks everyone.  I think I'll be visiting her in jail.

i think he is totally obsessed with the case. whether he did it or not, i am not sure. he can't give details?? the puzzle i am not fitting is the 118,000 ransom note that patsy new about. he has admitted it was a hostage gone wrong. i am wondering if maybe somehow he and patsy worked together on this one and now the reasoning it is coming out since patsy is no longer here. he lived in Georgia where they did but jonbenet was a baby at that time. it states that were vaginal abrasions but no semen? maybe that was a cover up to make it look like an intruder but they kinda left out an item called semen to make it real. makes me wonder if her hymen was intact. he is saying he drugged and raped her but yet autopsy says no drugs in her system.

Why hasn't anybody invented a mouse that is operated with our feet?

It hasn't been allowed since HIPAA. MT companies who outsource...
get away with it because they don't tell their clients, and internet wav file capabilities enable them to do so without anyone knowing. Some policy and investigation needs to be enforced to stop this. I say start slapping companies who outsource with huge fines and see how long we have to deal with outsourcing problems. What gets me most is "I can't even get a copy of my own medical record from my doc unless he has a release of medical records form signed by myself on file in my chart, but a doctor can dictate John Smith's medical history, send it to a company who in turns sends it out of the country and back here! Ridiculous.
This site is not working correctly and hasn't all day long. Someone needs to fix it!
I don't know who, but the administrator should know.
It hasn't been called AAMT in a long time. nm
 
But, in our case, 'credentialling' hasn't made ONE IOTA
In fact, just the opposite has happened. It's just a pocket-lining scheme, and nothing more. We had plenty of respect and a decent income back in the day when we had no 'CMT' scam going on. It isn't being credentialled I have a problem with - it's the group claiming that it's 'necessary', who is trying to get it mandated, and who would ultimately PROFIT IMMENSELY if that were to come about. But would WE profit? Nuh-uh. It hasn't made being an MT (credentialled or not) a better or more rewarding career, and if fact, just the opposite. So I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that if they were to succeed in making it mandatory that only CMTs could work, that those MTs would derive any viable benefit from obtaining the title. Most likely things would just get worse.

Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
Hey! I signed the above MQ QA
NOT not a cruise fan!!  What is up with that???
I just signed up with the gym. You get one
free visit with the PT and then they try and get you to pay $50 a month extra to sign up with a PT. Hahahahahahah! Not happening. My little toe feels great but the rest of my body is screaming at me. Trying to work but that's not going well today.
I signed up with...sm
Best Friends. I wonder if anyone who has offered to foster pets from Katrina have been contacted yet. I haven't heard anything from them about being a foster parent. I live near Atlanta and I heard that several pets were sent to Atlanta's Humane Society, but haven't heard of anyone having a pet placed with them.

Maybe I'll try the LA SPCA posted here. Post if you or someone you know has had a pet from LA placed with them.

I thought I should say that I don't think there's anything funny going on, I just wonder what they're doing with all those pets.

Thanks!
I signed it but....

.....I don't like their tactics. When you click on "sign petition", it takes you to the donate page. Of course, you don't have to donate, but at first I, too, like some of the people further down in the threat, thought there was no other option besides donating. But then when I clicked on the "Signatures" tab, I saw my name was there.


There are a lot of gullible and unwary people out there - and the way they have that website set up, it is designed to prey on them. I signed this petition because I feel it is important, but I will not be signing any other petitions on that site.


Has anyone signed up for 6.99
a month with TranscriptionNet?  Is it worth it, any good jobs to be found? Thanks
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.

FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??


it seems to be all offices, have you signed
up for IPAY? I have not gotten a check yet either, but there is a statement there for 09/02 which obviously is not a regular paycheck
Unless you signed something when you were hired

that says you agree to pay for return shipping when you leave, then the company is responsible.  If you don't have your original hire paperwork, ask them for a return shipping label.  If they say you agreed to pay for it, ask them to send you a copy of the signed agreement.  Make sure you save all correspondence.


You never signed a noncompete, right?
Besides that, I have it from two attorneys and the State Department of Labor that noncompete agreements aren't legal in many states.  TAKE the ACCOUNT and RUN!!!!  This woman has said that you can have them, she doesn't want them.  They do want you.  You don't owe her any loyalty, especially if she's running her business into the ground.  YOU need to look out for YOURSELF.  That's what I'm doing today is making a list of every potential transcription client in my city and soliciting them by phone with follow-up letter.
