You are correct. There is no guarantee of

They'd need a crystal ball.  All is a guestimate when it comes to workload, etc.


Try www.medword.com and search contracts.  You can find some templates there.


You correct others' spelling and get jumped on

CMT NOT A GUARANTEE
I do not think that CMT is necessarily an "investment in your future". I am not certified and am making a crazy salary. I get paid "salaried" as an editor. It is great money and I am earning it not on the basis of certification, but based on my experience and what I have put into my career. You get back what you put in. I have never even been asked if I am certified or not.

As far as offshoring, I think it's a travesty, BUT, other major American business are doing it, so it would stand to reason so would the medical profession.

If you are willing to learn, learn, learn, and perfect our "craft" then you do not need to be certified to have a great career.
not a guarantee either
I've been with two companies who had DD and was still paid late. The last one I quit I told her I would finish out the month to give her a chance to find someone else. My DD was 2-1/2 weeks late for that pay period. It hosed me financially and she had the gall to tell me she wasn't responsible for my financial situation. When you are the one holding my paycheck, you are.
Don't know you can get a guarantee of
number of reports -- that would totally depend on the patient load, whether or not anyone actually needed x-rays, whether the doctor is working FT or PT, etc.
CMT does not guarantee a qualified MT, maybe
just someone with enough money to play the game and take a test. I personally have worked with and hired MTs with and without the CMT at the end of their name and I really see no difference overall the CMT makes as far as quality of work or fund of knowledge, and there are some with CMTs that make me wonder how they even passed the test. Experience alone is the tell all. I would hire someone with years of experience over someone with only a few with some silly credential behind their name. If you have been in this business for 15+ years, you do not need some credential to prove yourself. Some just need to have somthing to make them feel superior when they actually may not even be that good. Passing a test for CMT looks good on paper, but in my experience does not mean you can actually decipher dictation or produce quality reports in the real world.

There is also no guarantee the work will be there.
I have not had a hard time getting paid, I have had a hard time knowing my contracted lines will be there. However, of course, I am expected to live up to my promised lines. Catch-22. As an IC you of course can and should get more than 1 account or company to work with. That is my advice. Make sure to do your homework too.
i GUARANTEE she won't be hired back
maybe its some kind of a TEST, like the service owner ASKED the doc to try to lure her away, and once she did it, THEY would BOTH fire her.
IT comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee
Please see the link below for more information.
I can almost guarantee that the MTSO is making more than

0.05 cpl profit.   I think you have to look at each potential account individually.  Do you had equipment that they can use to call-in, do they use tapes, do you have to print and deliver work,  etc. 


I also think you need to look at where you live.  If you live in a metropolitan area you could get away with charging more.  It you live in a very small town with no much in the area you would probably need to charge less. 


You could offer to do the work for a couple of days and then come up with a rate.  Maybe they have tons of normals, very easy dictators and it you could really be productive you might charge a little less versus if you have to pickup tapes, print and deliver work, etc. 


I've never had my own accounts or even worked as an IC so I have no personal experience. 


There is no guarantee that FlashType will work in Meditech although
it works in most Windows environments.  It does work in many platforms and all stand alone word processors, email programs, instant messengers.

Bravo! I guarantee you will feel better in time

I guarantee you it's NOT the software that is making this person
$30/hr, it's knowledge that comes from years of studying at a good school. I wouldn't expect to make $30 right from the start, either. It is possible to work up to that over a couple of years. BTW, I don't know of ANY type of software that costs 5K. Maybe this person meant computer, software, reference materials, etc.
At least they have a full money-back guarantee. No stocking charge.

Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

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.

spelling
I believe you mean 'almighty'.  The way some of you people mispell basic words, I'd hate to see the transcription work you do.
spelling
it is plasma PEROX. Perox is an acronym, therfore some people do all caps and some people just put perox.  if you do Google search for plasma perox you will find it.
Is doc spelling it out, i.e., A-L-M-A? sm
or saying what sounds like alma? I'm pretty sure it's posterior "element". I transcribe these all day and can't think of anything else that would apply here.
Still not sure of the spelling but know it
is prichutto (again spelling)..also a Portuguese favorite!

SPELLING OUT or not.

Okay, I was taught to spell out everything under 10, but I am hearing that is wrong.  Was I taught wrong or did it change or am I doing it right.


Thanks in advance!


spelling
I used to have a doc that kept spelling N-A-R-E when he wanted one nostril and I kept putting NARIS.  I am sure he thought I was wrong.  I wonder if he had a TESTIS or a TESTE.
doc's spelling sm
Oh yes, have had simple English words spelled, but never anything like an eponym from some dead surgeon that is 17 letters long!
Spelling

Doc dictating "I will order a single dose of Zofran for her nausea".  He is even kind enough to spell it.


S-O-P-H-R-A-N !!!!!!


spelling
Spelling is and has always been my weakest link. I've been a Transcriptionist for nearly 10 years. Knowing my short coming, I over compensate. When I first started I had a dictionary and medical speller in each hand. Of course there was spell check too. Transcription can be done even with the character flaw of not being able to spell. Remember, I'm the one who transcribed for the FBI before computers, word and spell check. You just have to be certain everything is spelled correctly before you hit "send." Go for it Mom. I'm living proof it can be done, and I'm not only a Mom and grandma, but I recently applied for social security.
Spelling...sm
I have been known to use the incorrect word from time to time on this website, but I can tell you that in working, I pride myself in knowing how to spell every term that comes my way. I look it up and LEARN IT as I go along.

When I was first an MT I was no hot shot speller. I am now and I can spot spelling errors in more places than work or a website.

I am surprised that you don't take any more pride or interest in your work than to say you don't need to be a great speller! I go so far as to look up procedures I don't know, anatomy I am not familiar with and disease processes that are new to me. I can't mindlessly transcribe in the vacuum I call my office, not worrying about whether or not I can spell the words correctly and with no clue about what I am doing! I make an effort, always.

Perhaps this is why I work part time and I mean PART TIME of 25 hrs a week and I made oh so well above the average MT income stated in a post below. You get out what you put in.
spelling
sorry about the spelling.  I just do not think it's OK to make remarks about what some people hold close to their hearts.  - Many people.

shoulder arthroplasty

and maybe some proper spelling

spelling errors
I have spelled so many words wrong and each time I do I fix it with autocorrect.  I just figure that I spelled it wrong once, it will happen again.  Some words I have spelled wrong so many different ways you would not believe, but each time they are corrected for me---saves lots of time. 
spelling errors
My worst one is osteopenis instead of osteopenia.  I put that right in my autocorrect.   
I thought spelling out 1-9 has always sm
been the rule? As least it has been with us and I have worked for MQ for 23 years. Also, that is the way I learned it in school!
Sorry. Spelling error..
I mean adjust.
Altsheimers ? I never seen this spelling before.

Canadian spelling?

Do you think they will pay for my spelling classes??? lol

Tori Spelling
They showed Tori Spelling as one of Kat's friends/family.  Now she might be able to pull some strings! 
Tori Spelling
I was thinking that maybe they put Katharine's friends and family under her name by mistake because when she showed "famous" people they put thier names and they didn't do that with her. Of course, I didn't see who she was sitting next to so I could be wrong.
Spelling of MD names?
If you have a clue of what state they are in, I like: http://www.dr-411.com/doctorsearch.asp
thanks for the spelling lesson....sm

thanks for the Italian language tip.  I never said I was Italian-American, though my best friend is.  *LOL*
