I do not believe there is a law, but you could check with the labor department.

I would read your health ins. policy

My husband's policy specifically states that even if a married couple get separated the spouse no longer has insurance coverage!  The coverage definitely stops, on my husband's policy, when a divorce is final.


I would want to read a copy of the health ins. policy for sure. Just my 2 cents. :)


Read the manual again on how to use Includes.
My single words on the phrases side are in a separate glossary.
Read the manual. It has full instructions.

Long, informative read - Merck vet manual (sm)
http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/71600.htm
there is good and bad in every procedure--sm
I suppose and everybodies experience is different. If you decide to do it, I wish you all the best. Keep an eye on those cells. My father died of cancer that began with esophageal cancer, two years ago. Both my brother and I have reflux problems, as well, so I do worry about it. Good luck to you in your decision.
Any MTs around that have had the LASIK procedure and how are you doing?

Please post a response


What does elective procedure got ....
nm
Very simple procedure
Download your voice files from the email to directory (folder) on your hard drive (usually should create special one just for this) you know you will always use for docking these recordings. Then open ES and click on the Load square at top of program. This will open the directories on your computer. Go find the one where you just downloaded the email recordings to, click on the one you want to bring into ES (one by one or batch). Then click the "load" key at the bottom of that screen and you should see them coming into the ES window. Takes a while for them to install if they're long. It's only complicated the first time!
not painful and very quick procedure but...sm
But......a person needs multiple sessions and that's where it gets very expensive.  The plastic surgeons I work for did it and the one who does not own the practice charged me 50%.  I went twice and didn't go back and yes, the chin hairs recurred.  It is nonpainful and fast procedure FYI.
operative report vs procedure
I used to think I understood the difference between these two types of reports (operative versus procedure). Somehwere along that way, amidst dozens and dozens of account profile specifications, technology advances and MDs who always key in the OP code regardless of report type, I am not so sure anymore. I would like to try to elicit a consensus on how transcriptionists distinguish between these two report types and what criteria they are using to do this?
The prep is worse than the procedure, believe me. nm

Anyone familiar with Spark procedure ...
relating to bladder suspension?  Can't find on internet.
well, i've hesitated having a procedure done
in large part due to the economy. Probably there are a lot of people that are holding off on elective surgeries along with other unessential spending....
s/l two 4 x 4’s peripad and mesh panties.......PPH procedure
s
prep worse than very easy procedure....nm

Sorry, you said Edit Script - think same procedure applies though.
I think the same thing applies, go find where you downloaded it and click on the setup file. All programs will not self-install. If I remember correctly you have to find the install or setup file to start it manually. Sorry for the mix up in programs. Good Luck again.
Yep - nearly always start their para's w/ capped heading of procedure to be described.

Do you give a discount for standard procedure notes? SM

I have an account who asked me to provide them with a form that could use for standard outpatient procedure notes.  I personally feel that there are too many variations for them to use one paper form and offered for me to do it for them at a discount since almost the entire thing would be a standard that I don't have to type in its entirety.  This account is a great account and I figured it isn't a big deal say to chage 25 cents instead of a $1 (example) for the form since I only have to type a couple letters to pull up the form and insert any changes.


I really don't know the easiest way to keep track of this discount or what amount to discount.  Any ideas?  I'd rather see me getting a small amount for doing the form then to get nothing for them using a paper form.  Plus, the account is newer to me and I thought it might look like a plus for me to offer them a discount and to make their life easier by not having to dictate the entire note.


Thoughts...ideas???  TIA


 


 


it is SPARC sling bladder suspension procedure. nm

not sure about Neer procedure, but this is a great site for samples...
http://www.mtsamples.com/index.asp

-----I have not personally checked all the reports here but the site seems reliable...

Did you try to Google Neer procedure/impingement, etc?
Does anyone know of a good site to find sample op/procedure reports
I have found very few sites that have sample op reports.  Anything would be appreciated.  Thanks
That's funny, I *love* ER's. Also Ops, procedure notes. Can't stand anything LONGGGGGGGG. n
.
Could you post the entire sentence? Is "parogy material" something used in the procedure or
something encountered during the procedure?
Ridiculous. It's not a medication or a procedure she's questioning. This is a moral issue.
She is way out of line to question transcribing that. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Policy (SM)
There is policy about this.

Please write the Administrator about this (admin@mtstars.com).

I think the policy is
as long as they have an American office (storefront) they are still considered American and they do not allow offshore MT's to post resumes - but that is an I think.
If only this policy was followed with consistency, now that would be new!

It seems like you have to ask the company what their policy is (nm)

you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.
Yes, came from hosp. If was co. policy, they

Check the policy. It says......
unlimited long distance, person to person, then you will get busted. It may take a little while but they'll get you. I learned the hard way. I used Vonage and it worked great.
Honesty best policy
I don't think it would reflect badly on your son if you're just honest with the person who hired you about not being able to be on your feet for so long. I would suggest telling him/her that you didn't realize how difficult it would be to be on your feet for so many hours and that you've made a mistake. I think everything should work out just fine in the end :)
If it is your company policy, then you have
to do it. I would keep track of it though, check for errors, etc.
Not if you have a company policy

manual
Did that manual state that the funds that were to be used to immobilize this mission were diverted to homeland security.
I never said it was an insurance policy. Are there not programs set
up for a reason? Is there no government assistance programs set up so that people can get help momentarily when they need it? I am not talking about depending on it. I am talking about OUR tax dollars going back to us during a time of legitimate NEED, not out of laziness. Do you think they are better spent in Iraq or a lot of other bull crap spending that is done on people not in our own country? We pay for this! No we don't have to expect our government to help us in times of need. Move to freaking Africa. Those views would fit in real good over there. I hope your kids go to private school. Wouldn't want the government taking OUR earned money and spending it back on us.

Deletions are made according to policy. (SM)
If you have a complaint about a post, take it to the Monitor board.

You'd be better off getting a private policy. Premiums are
cheaper, though still expensive, and you don't have to worry about insurance if you make a job change.   Shop around, should be able to get a family policy for about $400.00/mo. 
Or try to get the kids a separate policy

Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
Each company has their own policy for how they handle it.
I only worked for one company that deducted and that was YOG.  There is no industry standard, at least that I am aware of.   I'm going on 6 years at my current company and have never had a deduct. 
That depends on the company's policy.
Each company defines it's own policy. Most all do pay it out but since offering paid time off is not mandatory by any federal or state government, there is no mandate that a company HAS to pay out any accrued but unused paid time off.

Your Human Resources or Benefits Department will be able to direct you to the policies that govern this for your employer.

Official policy puts it best . . .
from the 2002 AAMT Book of Style:

"Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities do not belong in a patient's record unless they are part of direct quotations that are essential to a report."

In 20+ years of transcribing, mostly psychiatry, with, as one might imagine, a lot of profanity, I've always just typed whatever the clinician quoted the patient as saying, and have never had a complaint.

Good luck,

Advertising policy of MTStars...
Many of you haven't noticed Advertising policy of MTStars lately.

http://www.mtstars.com/advertising.htm

No more sponsorships from MTSOs etc. The truth is being spoken on these boards and it always hurts. You can't remain sober if betrayed by some company or individual. You would have been speaking the same way if you were in their shoes.

I love MTStars for being unbiased (what people say nastiness). It's not like MTChat or MTDaily etc., where the posts are deleted and board owners are instructed to keep their & posters mouths shut for annual sponsorship of $500 by MTSOs.
It's the advertising policy of MTStars..

Does anyone have a CPhone manual?  I have found where I can buy one but I was hoping that someone might have one here they might email me..  Money is on the tight side.


Am just now getting back into transcription after a short period away from it and I can't remember all the darn programming and keys..  LOL

I sent you an email. I have it on file on my PC and can send it to you if you will accept it as an attachment - I do a virus scan everyday and have no viruses. It's up to you, just let me know.
