Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

When they dropped 's from eponyms they lost...sm

Posted By: My 2 cents on 2006-04-24
In Reply to: Has anyone noticed that AAMT guidelines are not - traditional MT

what little respect they have.   Many doctors think transcriptionists are stupid if they type things like Alzheimer Disease instead of Alzheimer's Disease.

Eponyms
Then perhaps you should take a look at the guidelines put out by the American Medical Association where they do the same thing. It's not just AAMT, but it IS staying current with the norms in the industry of health care.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week.  No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie.  The account is gone, please look for new jobs
No. They dropped me to PT because
to their needs but it wasn't me it was the other girl on the account. Anyway they dropped me to PT, she quit, and now they expect me do to the account on a FT basis without giving my FT status or my benefits back.
They dropped the ball with me, too (sm)
I persisted a lot longer than I normally would because I really needed a job and had heard good things about them. I kept on them for weeks, and did eventually get hired. I was with them for quite a while but had to quit because I needed benefits. Still the best MT company I've run across. One account that doesn't run out of work. That makes a lot of difference.
Dropped you an email
/
So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
Just wondering!
Job postings have dropped because
we are in a depression. Yes, I said a depression. No one on television will say the D word for fear of scaring people, but do your homework. Our country's economy is tanking rapidly.
Someone said 30 straight dropped to 20 VR - sm
There's a thread downstream here about that. But I make 35 now. That's why I want VR to self destruct.
Dropped Accounts sm
How often have you worked for a company and they lost a huge account and you were fired?   I am really getting tired of this career and really need to find another one soon before I go nutters.  Company keeps screaming about TAT and hours and keeps threatening that they will fire us or the hospital will terminate the account.  We rarely get any positive feedback, individual or otherwise, and when we do get one kudo, its always followed by a BUT.. 

Anyway, should I be worried..  Should I have another job just in case.  I am an IC and get my lines and rarely work other than the schedule I gave but I can't be without a paycheck.  We are barely getting by now. 
Nope, I dropped OSi for another company.
BUT, I bet you are doing OSi's dirty work....LMAO!! Good luck...you are going to need it!
You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
My accounts were not dropped. They were still going strong nm

Glad I dropped her a line
It turns out she lost my email and she was happy I wrote. I'm really glad. She's a great person to work for.
It's sad how badly new job postings have dropped
And those that are getting posted are mostly for places with really bad reputations and/or companies that don't respond to emails.
My line count has dropped due to CPL
I get taxes and insurance taken out of my check but my income went way down when cpl went down.  At 11,000 lines of regular transcription at 8 cents a line  my take home was around $800 (before taxes/insurance).  When speech rec came out and we were not given a choice of regular transcription or speech recognition the CPL went down to 4 cents a line.  Now my check is $500 (before taxes/insurance).  It makes a big difference!!
My sister dropped her insurance. sm
It was costing her $350.00 a month for one person. She pays for her office visits in cash and gets a discount because she is under the income level. Same if she goes to the hospital. She gets a poverty discount. I think it is about 20%. Go figure.
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm

Ha! This is what dropped into my pool of its own accord. It was a "pocket" and that happens s
I am NO ONE'S PET.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

They weren't good for me. Their Mosaic plan dropped my pay down to an unacceptable rate, so I
s
to lost at sea
Please, please email me.  If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it.  She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help. 
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost

I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.


Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.


I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.


They lost me
And I tell others to save their money.  Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us?  Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost.
no msg
They lost everybody!
They did lose a TON of people, including almost everybody in management! Since the SPI takeover, they totally stopped caring about their employees and treated them all like second class citizens! I know that was my experience! I am so glad to be out of that place! I make a ton more money with my new company since I get paid for spaces now, which I did not get paid for at Cymed/SPI!
not really lost

They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really.  Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything.  It's just awful awful awful.  Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.


They Lost
DeVenture LOST the case.
I think everyone just was lost on the ...sm
fact that referring to an Asian descent person as Oriental was not PC. I have to admit I honestly didn't know that myself. Learn something new everyday.
That isn't why you lost your job...

No one cares about what is in the medical records right now.  Type it and file it and the lawsuits will come down the road...  probably by that time, the company will be out of business or in India or feel they won't have to face that. 


Hey, aren't we supposed to have a push to reconcile our medical records?  Everyone will have a set that they can take with them to each doctor?  Gee, what do you think will happen when patients find out exactly what CRAP is in their records.  Can you say L-A-W-S-U-I-T?  Come on, all together now... 


Lost my job to EMR
They kept saying that it wouldn't happen, that they would still need us, blah, blah, blah. Then about a month and a half ago I got called into the office. Myself and the other Transcriptionist were told that as of the end of August we would be without jobs. Now, if I want to get paid at all, starting Monday I have to go in-house through the end of August and work in the medical records department. I'm switching to general and legal transcription. As soon as I can find another full-time position, I'm quitting the MT business. Although I'm sure at one point that will go by the wayside too.
Don't think we lost any........
because of losing accounts. I believe the MTs on the accounts that were lost were just redistributed amongst other existing already low-volume accounts, which helps account for the NSA that we see so often. I think it is good that a company tries to keep employess on if their account goes away, but not at the expense of others who need to make a living as well.
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
There is lost of work at MDI-FL....
Call the office and ask for another account. There are three starting tomorrow. I just got an e-mail about one with a system called Intrascript.


got that and I was one of the ones who lost their job last week....
so I am not in a good mood about the company at all right now. Don't know what they are trying to prove right now, but it is not good.
ex QA mgr lost her job for letting cat out of the bag...
and that is then I found another job as well.
Other lost accounts?
Besides the 120 account and Florida Hospital (don't know that site #), what other accounts have been dropped lately? I don't know about acute care or clinic sites, but ER has been very, very slow for the past 3 weeks or so. I don't know if it is all related to the loss of 120 or if there are others that haven't been mentioned yet.
wonder why we lost all these accounts?
Does anyone know what happened? Why did we lose them all at once?
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that   doesnt cut it.
Other accounts have been lost too. It would

be nice if someone would at least tell us what was going on so we can decide what we need to do.   I laughed about the Indian signing the paycheck.  While they do or did have an Indian working in the office I hardly think they are going to send the payroll to India. 


that account was lost too nm

Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
For those who lost their jobs at QT (sm)

How were you all informed about the closing of QT?  I hope you all found homes.  Good luck to everyone of you going through this.


account lost was....

I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost.  All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them.  There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+.  The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more.  Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired.  TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them.  More and more, the doctors were going to the other service.  We were all let go on 1/30.


 


If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today. 


lost report
Did you lose your C-phone audio? Make sure you have that first. If not, email your supervisor ASAP. To get the transcription back, go back into Bayscribe and pull up the template for the kind of report you were on. Then hit Alt+R and it will retrieve reports you have done or are working on. The first one that comes up should be your report and very little should be lost on it.
Don't feel sorry for me as I have lost nothing nm

FYI, MDI has NEVER lost a client.

What are your guesses? You lost us.
