And, oh my,my, how very ''narrow minded'' of U.S. MTs to object to having their jobs given away and their wages stagnate! Your post is right on!

I agree, WebMedx would do better just removing that drivel.

you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up. that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
dude, your educational level means nothing when you post irrelevant drivel and you don't follow
a logical train of thought. "ROCK ON"???? OMG!
BTW, YOU CALLED THE NAMES DEAR POSTER. READ YOUR OWN POST AND THEN READ MINE. See that's what I'm talking about. The masses aren't all that bright and knowing that does not "empower" me. And with you bragging about a "degree" and "education" is even more depressing. imagine an educated person bragging about it after screwing up on two posts and not understanding the concept of the original post STILL! Scary stuff.
Your job description probably
has a statement similar to AND OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED . I would suggest that you have them lighten up your transcription requirements, however, for the period of time you are working on the transition process. If you are missing out on incentive while doing this other work, then definitely, I would request my average pay for this period of time. It would not be fair for you to in effect take a pay cut to help them out in this process. Otherwise with pay being equal, I would welcome with open arms a temporary break from transcription, know what I mean? Good luck to you.
In your job description, there is probably
and "other duties as needed." So, that would cover the Excel grid. In the Meditech system, I used to have to associate charges to the report. If the charges were not there, then I had to put them in myself, go back to the report, and then associate. This was onsite hourly job.
So, I guess the answer to your question is no, you probably are not just supposed to do transcription. The doctor obviously needs you to do the billing grid or they wouldn't have asked in the first place.
Good luck... It is all part of the business.
Here is the IRS description...
that I explained above  :
To find the business percentage, compare the size of the part of your home that you use for business to your whole house. Use the resulting percentage to figure the business part of the expenses for operating your entire home.
You can use any reasonable method to determine the business percentage. The following are two commonly used methods for figuring the percentage.
Divide the area (length multiplied by the width) used for business by the total area of your home.
If the rooms in your home are all about the same size, you can divide the number of rooms used for business by the total number of rooms in your home.
Example 1.
Your office is 240 square feet (12 feet × 20 feet).
Your home is 1,200 square feet.
Your office is 20% (240 ÷ 1,200) of the total area of your home.
Your business percentage is 20%.
Example 2.
You use one room in your home for business.
Your home has 10 rooms, all about equal size.
Your office is 10% (1 ÷ 10) of the total area of your home.
Your business percentage is 10%.
Use lines 1–7 of Form 8829, or lines 1–3 on the Worksheet To Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home (near the end of this publication) to figure your business percentage.
Good description, I'm sure!
It was about 6 years ago in an outdoor arena. My daughter was probably 14 and son was 19. What stories they came back with!!
...the drunk that fell on their dad, the rockin' 40-somethings, the great music... and the aroma LOL.
Most of all they loved the the music. My daughter had just started making the circuit of the current music concerts. The Who was quite a different experience for her. No crowd surfing LOL
They better get that description straight
Im sure that they made a mistake but that really is not helping on our self esteem. Maybe we could write our representatives to rectify the problem?
Very accurate description...
Your post is exactly right! Great post! (A physician friend made the same comparison--that he only needed to know one specialty while the MT must be familiar with all--great post!)
Help me decipher this pay description.
Chronial Transcriptions: MT daily: Line rates based on 55 black character line, 0.08-0.09 DOE and test results. Let me venture a guess. A 55-black character line would mean 55 strokes, spaces not counted? DOE? What's that? I thought that was the (US) Department of Energy.
That's not a standard description, so
you can only be sure by asking the person who used it.
I believe your description is correct (sm)
I have been doing SR (speech recognition) for a couple of years now. You may find that some dictators are very close to what shows up on the screen and others way off. I find that speeding up the voice and keeping my cursor right where the voice is (usually Ctrl right arrow, but yours may be different) helps me to make corrections quickly. If they talk real slow, look ahead a little and make obvious corrections before you get there. For repeated mistakes that the VR doesn't correct, make your own correction expansions to add on to the end of a word to change it to what you want so you don't have to change the whole thing. These are things I have picked up on the boards and have helped a lot.
I noticed at first that I could sit for longer periods of time than with transcribing because it went faster. You get into a rhythm pretty quickly and move fast, but you need to because VR is usually paid at a lower rate even though the same level of expertise is required (grrr). The trick is not getting too bored with it, which the looking ahead as they talk helps me with.
Hope this is helpful.
Are you kidding? If this is not the description of accident, I don't know what is
According to your description of accident, this is it! What could possibly be foreseen about this? Ther is no way that this is the fault of the parents? While you certainly can bring a 2-year-old to the hospital, how feasible is it if the labor is anything more than 2 hours? DUH! You just CANNOT bring a 2-year-old to the hospital while having another baby. Obviously, the parents had great confidence in their friends ability to watch their child.
The person significantly at fault is the driver. So much so, in fact, that it is illegal to hit somebody and run!! Please don't give any excuses for the driver. I had a bird fly into the windshield of my car and it literally shook the car (a minivan), so don't tell me that someone would not feel more than a "board in the road" when running over a 2-year-old! Give me a break!
Google INFJ and you will get a description. nm

FDP_2006 sent me an E-mail with description:
Anyone know what this is? It has an attachment so I am not going to open it unless I am positive it isn't a link to a madman's web page.
Thanks!
Well, maybe vertically was the wrong description
how about round and round, as opposed to side to side??
Description of any pus (no matter where it is coming from)
great description. Never thought sm
of it that way. But sure seems like there is more QA than there use to be. That could be because there are so many new MTs (not knocking the newbies) that the companies are hiring for less money than they deserve so they can get cheap labor. That and the biggest problem, OUTSOURCING!
Does that new job description pass some of your duties to others so
you can do the transcription? If not, I guess I'd have to prove to them it can't be done in the same amount of time and look for another job while I'm doing that. After all, you'll still have to look for another job to supplement the lost income at home, right? If they're not passing some of your duties on to others, their request is out of line and completely sets you up for failure. Who needs that kind of pressure in their life?
saw it on monster-- "a too good to be true" job description-
for info and see what kind of a response I get. Don't want to send my resume unless it seems legit. I have 2 jobs now, just fishing for something better.
Cherrypicking - such a cute description for theft.

Get a Google Toolbar, description and link enclosed
I have a Google search toolbar at the top of my browser. It's a small line like the address bar but it says Google beside it and I just type in my searches there instead of going to Google first, etc. I've found it very easy to use. Of course, as with anything there are extra parts to the program, I just added the basic tool bar and went to options and only kept the parts of it that I wanted on my toolbar. It makes searching a whole lot easier, all I need to do is bring up the internet and my search is at the top.
In Description Field type {@KEY Left}-year-old
In Keyword, type
yo, OR yof, yom, yog, yow
In Description Field, type:
{@KEY Left}-year-old
I use the following as well:
{@KEY Left}-year-old-female,
{@KEY-year-old male,
{@KEY Left}-year-old gentleman,
{@KEY Left}-year-old woman, etc.
Good luck rebuilding your ShortHand. I back mine up to a little portable drive on a keychain, I'd be lost without my ShortHand.
Wise
But perhaps you should! Eye are not perfect! (as above)
A second look never hurts!
perfect
well i'm glad you've never made a mistake or wrong decision in your life. you have no idea what went through his head while he was there, and you have no idea what his situation was, or how he was feeling or anything. i wish my husband could be as perfect as you. ha, but then he would also be heartless.
Of course, nobody is perfect
but when your rate of pay depends on your QA score and you have endless pages of style guides to memorize, then one would expect the QA people to already know all of that information. I have done QA in the past as well and what I didn't remember, I would look up and many times learned things from the MT!!
Perfect!! Thanks so much.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Have a great day

perfect job for me.... sm
Why? Because I love this job and doing it from home just makes it so much better. I get to work in my jammies without makeup, deciding what to wear, traffic, long lines at the donut shop, fighting for the optimal parking spot, office politics, the boss's "favorite", backstabbing, nit picking, monitored bathroom breaks and phone calls, etc. I do acute care for a large hospital and every report is different. It keeps my brain motivated and my fingers moving. It ain't perfect, but I love it.
Lee Perfect
I like how a transcription company can't spell transcribing....lol.
Perfect example of why we need QA ... it is
Truly laughing out loud here!
Lee Perfect
Hi was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this company. Thanks.
lee perfect
do a search on Company Board, not under Google, but under MTStars. They use Emdat platform, which a lot of people do not like. I feel there is a turnover there, as the same jobs are advertised always. They are IC.
I don't get it, either. If we were all perfect,

Perfect VR/ASR
Remember that the better it gets, the less you will be needed.
PERFECT!!!
Thank you so much!!! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how excited I am about this!!! I just started using Word about 6 months ago and I have been cursing the fact that I have had to get used to using my arrow keys to get around the templates. BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!
This is a perfect example of why
we are losing our jobs. After 7 years you still don't understand the terminology? Oh Vey!
Wow! That is perfect!
That is exactly what I need. May I copy it and use it? You are so helpful!
No one is perfect
I had a doctor tell me that he got a report back with fecal sac. He laughed when he told the story. It can happen to the best of us. Try not to let it get you down.
Perfect Transcription, LLC
Anyone have any info on this company?
Ms. perfect? Confused? SM
Watch out, now you have really insulted her!!
THE PERFECT SOLUTION....sm
I interviewed for a company a while back whose method for discouraging cherry picking was to dock their paycheck by $5.00 for every report they cherry picked !  ha.. love it !!
in other words, the perfect job!
sorry to burst your bubble! I have, however, been on the same acct for over four years, but it runs scant these days, so I am on another acct, but I'm finally getting used to it. Can't use many macros though, cause very rarely have the same doc. How 'bout when you find "that" job, let us all know where it's at!!! Have a good day!  Hey, what happened to winky!!!
Its working perfect for me
AAAMT.COM is a perfect solution for me
Three reasons
Accurate, Accessible, Affordable.
I need to save something. I found this aaamt inc is the MT company for my practice after I fired 15 Mt companies over 6 years. I am using them for 2 years, no other charges, HIPPA comliant and charge only 5.9 cents.
GoodLuck
yes, yes, yes, love it, perfect job

Hey everyone, I need the perfect cure....
My son has been up since 3 a.m. vomiting and diarrhea, could be a good old battle with the flu. What can I give him to help soothe his stomach? Pepto Bismol didn't help at all, so I need any good ideas on what could stop the churning stomach. Thanks.
perfect cure
Emetrol - OTC antiemetic for nausea - It works MAGICALLY!
what a perfect comparison
If I had pictured you as anybody that would have been the perfect choice, quirky, funny and cute in the boy next door way.
Perfect!...I'm printing this and
memorizing it! Thank you, thank you! This makes so much sense (and with the symphathetic face/tone). It's hard to think straight and think of this when I'm the one in the situation. I'll let you all know how she takes it. Thanks again.
Word Perfect
Does anybody on here use word perfect? I am a new grad, and a company says they will hire a new grad if I have word perfect and and a wave player. Any input would be good.
word perfect sm
Did anyone notice that since Dell has been having price reductions they are now offering Word Perfect instead of Word for Windows? How can you test/take a position with a new computer which has Word Perfect if the hiring company is using Microsoft Word? Just another fly in the ointment. How does one deal with this?
