When an account specifies no patient information (as in no name, etc.) in report does that mean no f
information in the reports also, such as spouse name and family phone numbers?
Is it common for doc's to change or add more information to their patient's original report af

prior?  I am an IC for four doctors, and they are constantly adding or deleting information from their already signed reports.  Is this the norm?  They keep telling me it is because of insurance issues. I was just curious.  Thank you. 


You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099. 
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different.  I had one woman try to pull this on me.  She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other."  Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line.  She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios.  I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
$11.50 correction

No need for the correction (sm)
I knew what you were saying. I don't blame you for not wanting to work for someone who wasn't HELPING you make your quota. You deserve to be somewhere that you are appreciated. Now if we could just figure out how to rub your work ethic onto some of these other people.....
No, never. And TY for the correction!

Sorry. Didn't mean to include ALL. I should have said....
MANY Christians re-write the meanings of these holidays.

Didn't mean to offend you.
Have a good day!
correction
duh, I apologize, I meant to start off saying, I am using....apologize for the grammatical error.
correction
Sorry, I mistyped...8/55 as to 9/65 (not 9/64)
Correction
should be thinks. Late when typing this.
Correction.....
No, they get paid for everything they do and a lot for what they don't do!!!

I too am sick of the hospital staff/administration cowardly standing in the corner, afraid to say anything to them, as if they are gods or something. I'll never forget one cardiologist who everybody dreaded but because he was a BIG admitter, meaning BIG BUCKS for the hospital, everybody just preached to the MT and kept their mouth shut to the problem.....the doctor!!

He had the gall to come through MR one morning and brought in a report, asking why a blank. Well, since the other MT (who he walked up to) sat there shaking in her boots, I turned around and let loose. It just all came out. I told him that we are human, we are not able to compute mumbling, chewing while dictating, four people in the room talking to you while you are dictating, laughing at a joke, yawning while continuing to talk, or other bodily functions which interfere with what we hear on the other end. I also told him that considering all this, he was lucky to have only one blank. Well, after he stood there a second and started at me, he sort of grinned in his cocky smirky way and said, "Well, anyone should be able to KNOW what I was saying", to which I replied to him that I was not psychic and it is not my job to guess at what he is saying; that guessing is not fair to the patient, now is it, since that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we are here for.....the patient. Well, I guess he had nothing to reply to that, reminding him he was not the reason we were there but the patient was. He just shrugged and walked out. Never heard another word about blanks from that day on.
correction
if you have used Alt Q to make your blank, when you are at the end of the report, you should be able to use Alt Y to jump to your blank. Put your cursor at the top of the report, use Alt. Y to jump to your blanks. Saves a lot of time.
One correction in that...
in your second to last paragraph you said "How should BE pay for our food" and I think you meant "we".

Just might want to change that before sending it out to anyone else! But other than that very, very well written!!!
Yep...had an old doc who would always say, when making a correction (sm)

"Ummm, STENOGRAPHER, please change..." etc.  Yeah, like I'm sitting here doing Gregg shorthand!!!  Drove me nuts! 


Also used to have one who loved to editorialize as he dictated...had a great sense of humor, tho', & I really enjoyed him.  He'd always start off with "Hello Transcription!!!" 


Sometimes I wish I had a tape of all the docs' bloopers to listen to on the days when I wonder why I do this for a living 


 


Correction! That should be No Whining

I should make a correction
I plan to stay in the MT field until it goes completely under, just can't do it full time much longer because of the hands.  Thats why i'm considering other options.  Thanks.

UGH... that would be in the field...sorry long day!
Are you one of the ones who gets made when you get a correction?

Ugh! Correction Reports!
Does your heart ever sink into your stomach when you look at your correction reports? I really don't make many mistakes, but just made 5 out of 31 reports on a particular account that I really want so badly to do perfectly! And 4 of them were doggone header things (how did I miss them?) GACK!!! I feel so dumb!!
Correction reports
Where I work, there's a new group of QAs, some of whom correct the reports without going according to the client specs.  UGH!!  It can make you sick if you let it.  I finally gave up the frustration and suggested to my manager that I would not take those correction reports so seriously, as it's the monthly performance report that really matters.  That's the one that I will check very closely.
Correction Client 1.6 is the new one (nm)

Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I

had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.


Correction: "Many", not "Most". nm

Thanks for the ''Asian'' correction. Worst for me are

Just a correction, they are not nukes, they are explosives to see if they can SM
penetrate rock where nuclear weapons might be held. The notion that they are nukes is incorrect, and there will be no mushroom cloud.
see my note below, I made the correction.... - nm

When I worked in Meditech and did a correction,
the revision date and initial date of my correction following those of the first transcriptionist.

It is a Joint Commission requirement that a visible trail be placed on any corrections. There are rules if it is handwritten versus type printed. But which ever way you slice it, if the trail is not there, the facility can lose their accreditation. I was asked to do several files at a time by using a macro to search/replace. This request was by the VP of the company. I told her she knew what needed doing, obviously, picked up my coat and told her I was late for an appointment. If anything was changed, I was not going to participate it in. There is also a way to whistle blow on those who do the less than honest practices.
**It can be important (correction, no message)

just type your correction and hit 'change'.

Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE

Yes, the correction part disappeared for counting ASR.

Correction - They will be flexible with HOURS/days, etc.

U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

EXSpeech Nuance correction keystrokes

Editing questions- which Keystrokes actually corrects the documents in the Correction Client, therefore, correcting the terms to the future to that dictator.  Does Ctrl D and transcribing the correction cause Correction Client to sit up and take notice.  Can you block the text with Ctrl K, Ctrl J, Ctrl-Shift K, and Ctrl-Shift J and start transcribing the correction (will Correction Client see that).  Thank you. 


Correction.......meant to say dedicated space...

If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.

Correction note to husband. Meant BILLS NOT AUCTIONS LOL
Freudian slip. Have to read whole post to get joke. LOL.
Just point out the errors and duck. No win situation QAing anyone. MTs hate correction.
Sad, but true, and sooooooooooooooooooooo depressing for those of us who QA. There is no nice way to point out errors - believe me, I've tried it all. Smiley faces - trying to be kind, humorous, self deprecating - nothing works if they are one of "those" MTs who just do not take correction at all.  MTs either own their mistakes, or they freak.
correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie

Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't

I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.


Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.

Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.
nm.
information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
