    POLL - Do you proof as you go or proof when finished? sm

    I proof after, but would love to proof during.  I'm working on it.  I'm curious as to what percentage of MTs proof as they go or proof at the end?


    Thx for responding.


    MT, proof as I go. ME, go back and proof afterwards
    I have only been editing 3-4 months, and I find I make at least twice the stupid mistakes on ME as with MT, so I do scan the ME reports --find double periods, caps where they are not supposed to be -- stupid stuff.

    good luck!
    Where exactly is your documentation

    I say keep documentation from your
    boss stating you are to leave this off your log. Otherwise, you might be fired for putting it even when she/he told you to. Doctor's are the biggest babies!!
    Really?! Is there some sort of documentation...
    we can access to confirm that?  That's just far out.  Ever been in the lunch line in the hospital cafeteria with doctors discussing cases while waiting for the fricassee to be dished out?  What about these third-world countries where the work is being outsourced...they have 2 generations living in the same abode--think there's any privacy screening or dedicated office there?!  Sounds like bureaucratic bull poopie to me.  Kind of like asking "how old are you and do you have kids" without asking.  I'd take a picture of me at a nice fancy-pants office set up at Staples just out of spite if I was asked such a thing.  How the heck do you prove something like that unless you make a home visit?!  Somethin' just don't jive there is all I'm sayin'.
    Please provide documentation. Thanks

    Does anybody know anything good or bad about this company?  I am looking for a good MT employment position, and I have been burned before (by Voice Systems--they don't pay!).

    be armed with knowledge and documentation
    Along with sending all employees W2s, a copy of every employee's W2 is transmitted along with a W3 with the totals of FICA/MED and Fed taxes.

    The problem probably arises from what was sent in to IRS and Social Security that raised a flag. I really don't think that the SE part set off the flag. MQ might have tried to do a switch-a-roo and sent in a 1099 with the transmission. After you go in for the examination, this will probably clear it up. When I was with MQ, they sent me a W2 and a 1099, and was always leery of this but never had a problem. I left them in 2000 because of lack of work but always wondered about the dual reporting.
    Secure documentation transfer

    Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net. Best wishes to you!

    Congrats on getting the docs to move to digital! I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence.

    "As a patient, I worry less about WHERE my records are being transcribed, and more about WHO is doing the transcription. I would opt for a qualified CMT in India handling my records over an unqualified individual transcribing from their dining room table with little experience and no security - where anyone could walk into their "home office" and access my information."

    That's a laugh. She'd rather have a "qualified CMT in India" (where there is no HIPAA or anything like it) than an "unqualified individual transcribing from their dining room table..." Why am I supposed to assume that this picture of a dining room slacker is the opposite of an Indian MT?

    How about another option, Ms. Fox: (Lemme guess: Karen Fox???) How about entrusting your records to a highly qualified American MT with professional standards & work ethic & who would do her/his best to protect the confidentiality of your records even if there were no laws against doing so, whose native language is American English, but who hasn't bothered to take some bogus test thought up by the chicks in Modesto to fund themselves, self-appointed guardians of all things MT? Now there's a novel idea.

    Apparently she hasn't read the publication
    http://mtindia.info/news/latest/heartland-information-services-spryance-inc.-merge.html

    which would beg to differ with her contention that Indian MTs don't get any special pricing.

    Well heck. My workload was cut to less than half after the hospital I work for began offshoring to people AHDI credentialed, people who have a cost of living that is a small fraction of mine & who can do the work I do for a small fraction of what I can do it for. I feel so much better knowing that at least they don't get a lapel pin.
    Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
    The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
    secure documentation transfer without an MTSO

    Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. It would be an easy way for you to securely transfer audio files/transcribed reports without using an MTSO. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net.

    additionally, ask, as well as receive, written documentation.

    Good for you for helping her make an INFORMED decision before taking the CMT exam. I can't imagine anyone knowing the full scope of AHDI's nefarious practices still wanting to take their exam.

    with such great documentation, it sounds to me like you should be able to call the labor board
    or at least unemployment...it is something you really should consider. there are civil service jobs, if you do not want to work at home, and you can get help finding a job that way.

    this is what is needed when going to the labor board so they get a clear-cut look at what is happening in this business.

    just because it saves a buck, should not mean employees should be able to be treated like dirt...

    you have been pushed out of your job, sounds like, and that at least qualifies for unemployment.

    believe me, any other job you find out there will be almost the same, but you could collect some money while you look for something with the same pay, am I correct?

    SE or not, too, you have lost YOUR LIVELIHOOD. what do people think, like okay you have no way to make a living now...
    TY, Admin. nm

    Not admin but I can help.
    Click on the sticky note at the top of the page, click on the "click here" and log in.  Now at the top of the page there will be an "edit profile."  Click this and change what you want to change.  I did the same thing at first with my name because I thought that was what they expected.  After seeing it the first time, I knew better and changed it.  It will change your avatar on every post when you do this, so your name will be taken off all.  Hope this helps.
    Admin, pls sm

    The Gab Board does not have a button in the *jump to* list, it is only listed on the boards to the left of the screen.  I never had the list of boards to the left, and maybe others don't, and so they would not find the Gab Board.


    I did not get the list of boards to the left until I updated my antivirus program.  I even followed the instructions listed awhile ago from your web master and did not get the list to the left.


    At least this is the way it is on my computer; maybe others also, in which case they would be posting on the wrong board, or not using the Gab Board.


    ProScript Documentation Services does not send work overseas or employ any overseas MTs. (nm)

    Admin - can you please clarify? sm
    I thought we could not post any places that have MT chats? I had a post deleted because I gave a link to the (place) where you get your CMT credentials.
    Thank you Monitor/Admin !! nm

    Don't let this thread fall away - move it to the top and lets get everyone to take action - send to news, Glenn Beck at me@glennbeck.com - bombard the media and lets see if we can finally do something. This time it is not just the MT word against others, it is actual video that must be seen by all - Everyone;'s job in jeopardy - not just the MT. Move it to the top. Thanks Hayseed for your post

    Admin. Info

    Thank you! 


    Do you have the information for the Admin. on anything to send information?


    To New Admin---you NEED a moderator

    on the MQ board....the resident troll is back and as annoying as ever.  While we hate the overzealous banning....please, please, please remove the troll.  Disagreeing and trolling are way different, and the trolls DO need to be banned. 


    To Admin - See message
    When I go to www.mtstars.com, my norton antivirus blocks a browser exploit.  Norton says the risk is MSIE ADODB. Stream Object File Installation Weakness.  Is this a virus on the site?
    Then why not E-MAIL admin?

    Admin -- how did they get my E-mail address

    I do not belong the AAMT, I was contacted by Spheris by E-mail asking to fill out an application.   And this is the only place that I ever post anything about being an MT -- so they got it from here.   This has been mentioned before and somehow our E-mail addresses are gotten and I would like to know how.    Like I have said, I have never posted a resume, never applied for a job and only have posted about 10 messages in the past six to seven months.   So how they got it, I don't know.


     



     


    No admin didn't. confirm that!
    You can tell that you obviously are them.
    Well, there is an answer on that board from Admin
    that states a physician does answer and just doesn't sign his name off as Dr....

    I think we should be made aware of which advice comes from the physician and which comes from other users. I agree.

    I was just thinking that a legal board would be nice that had an attorney and/or DOL expert to answer questions.

    I hope you were not thinking I was making a reference to your post. I wasn't at all.

    Just a suggestion for a legal board, that's all.
    No, I didn't think that at all. I did see Admin's response there.
    I do agree that you can't differentiate if the licensed physician doesn't identify himself from the average Joe on the board.  Otherwise, you think it's just another MT so you won't necessarily take the advice seriously.
    I support the Admin...I don't need another space.
    The unhappy MQ MTs are not the ONLY MTs on this board.

    You can leave if you want to. The board will continue because there are plenty still left.

    Same theory with the MQ job position as with posting on here -- if you're not happy with it, go find another job or another board....or work for yourself/create your own board.

    Silly to expect others to accommodate you in your job and on the board. Check with Yahoo and MSN or even your local ISP -- they can provide you with a website and you can run it as you wish.

    Telerecruiting Admin Services
    Has anyone worked for Telerecruiting Admin Services, or do you know someone that has. A friend keeps getting email from them, and wants to know if they actually hire or pay people the wages they advertise? TIA.

    Admin, any way we "geezers" can have our own board? sm
    The question another "oldtimer" posed this past week got such great responses, I'd love to have a board like that to visit all the time.  We are truly our own special breed, and it's so much fun sharing our past.  Why, even our equipment had character!  We could poll for the perfect name for it.  Whaddya think? 
    Admin: Problem with Avatar SM

    Hi!  I signed up, but need to edit it as I must have misunderstood and now my real first name is posting next to my avatar.  Guess it's no big deal, but would prefer that my board name post instead.  I keep trying to log in to change it, but it doesn't work.


    Thanks for your advice,

    it's Google ads. don't think Admin has any control over them.
