Re your normals: keep a list handy, name them with short names..sm
then use Control R after you have typed the normal name; i.e.: Dr. Joe Blow has a ROS that he uses all the time - name it JBROS or something like that, then in the document type JBROS and use the control R to bring it automatically in.
Here's a very short list I've gathered of places
I don't know how current this list is or even if the PCs are still being provided. Make contact at your own risk: Diskriter. Precyse. Opti-Script (Penn. - they'll give you the loaded tower and you can use own monitor if you want.). CIT (Charts in Time - also will just send the tower and not the monitor if you want.) WebMedX (with a fee?? - maybe before, don't know about now.) Trans-Tech (with a fee? - not sure), and possibly Spheris and Amphion. Sorry this may be old info.. Hope others can add to it and update the list. ....NM in NY
The few places that accept satellite are inside. May
MQ, Opti-Script, Precyse, Probity, Transform in Wyoming, TRS, and WebMedX....nm
I only have satellite. Anyone know of any companies that still take that? sm
I live just past the lines to get DSL or cable. I have over 25 years experience, but my location is proving to be a problem. Thanks.
Which companies allow satellite transcription?

Companies and satellite internet
I may be searching for a new company in the near future and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to find out which companies have systems that work with satellite, if there is any sort of list. I know there used to be a site that listed companies and info about them like how much experience they were looking for and what the application procedure was. I can't seem to find it anymore.
Will more companies be allowing satellite in the near future, do you think? (sm)
No access to high speed or Unlimited long distance
When you are in the doctor's list (inside)
click on F2 (find), then put the doctor's first name or last name (if you can spell it), with 300 doctors, even using find may be difficult, but what I do if I don't have a clue about the last name (ESLs, like who can spell czhkztopok? duh), I put in the first name (it sometimes takes awhile to find the doctor but I usually do eventually). Or I will put in any part of the name and just keep going until I exhaust the doctors. Hope this helps.
I wish short answers were in the subject line instead of put inside. nmreally

I have to go satellite internet also, but have found no companies that will help with that expense..
I have found plenty that will hire with dial up or satellite, but I cant find a company willing to help with the expense. We spent $600 up front for our satellite system and then $59 a month! It is definitely worth the expense...especially since it would take me 1/2 day just to load my work on dial up before I could even start on it. At least now I am loading and working at a high rate of speed! Good Luck and Happy New Year!
I'm in Joyce's boat - what companies accept satellite, plz?
I've been waiting for DSL for years now -- it was supposed to be available locally in September, .... then "end of November" ... now, not returning e-mail (will phone next week) ... but I'm not hopeful anymore
actually in my area, satellite costs "only" $400 for set up and $60 a month ....
only advice for joyce is check out what company is servicing your sherriff/post office/library/schools .... bigger can be best and most likely to be expanding their service area ... good luck.
Does anyone know why some companies won't hire you if you have satellite internet service? TIA

Had satellite; and most companies are not compatible with it, personally, I was not happy with it.

Do away with automatic numbered list. See inside steps.

Why in the world do companies not list their line rate in their ads?
Why waste my time applying for a position that pays 0.065 per line?
Why are they ashamed (other than the obvious). Let's be up front with this!!!
I used Short Keys, not Short hand for Bayscribe, it worked fine.

Would definitely not go satellite. Most use DSL or cable, some with reimburse partial $$, satellite

Transcend, although they said my satellite was too slow, they do allow satellite with some accts. nm

Ditto, short ERs or short OPs....short anything! sm
And I especially don't like long OPs, they are the most boring for me, and the doctors pause a lot cause they have to think more. I just want to be done with it! Next!!! ; )
Long short forms vs short short forms
Carla,
A long short form is usually easier to remember. So I would definitely assign the short forms as suggested by Kelli:
SmithCThead
SmithCTabdomen
etc
In most Expander programs you would opt for a short short form as you have to type the whole short form before you can expand.
In Instant Text you don't have to type the whole short form: you type the first two letters of your long short form and then you can type any of the following letters.
So in this case you would type smcth for the first one, smcta, and you may also type smhead, smabd
This is possible when you use the Instant Text marker key to expand. If you use the space bar to expand, you may be better off assigning the initials as suggested in the second response, as you would not be able to "jump ahead".

medical abbreviation list and medical drug list
Hi,
Anyone there who could help me out finding the latest abbreviations list.
I even want the latest drug list because my current program does not have many drugs.
So if anyone could suggest anything which is available online for informationd quick look purposes.
any help for medical abbreviation list and medical drug list would be very helpful.
MT companies negotiate with the insurance companies until they get what they want
It is strictly up to the agreement between the employer and the insurance company. Your new employer can tell you what the pre-existing clause is in your new policy. Some require proof of insurance for the past 12 months. It may say something like if a diagnosis has not been made NOR treatment received within the last __ months. Not good when companies negotiate with a pre-existing clause in order to get a lower rate. Better check with your HR with your new company before doing anything. It really gets hairy !
Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.
You might want to look into satellite (sm)
Go to directv.com and there is a link there for DirecWay, I think it's called.
It is more expensive than DSL, but MQ pays up to $50 per month for high-speed and I think they pay up to $75 for installation of same.
DQS VIA SATELlITE POSSIBLE?
Does anyone know if a person can work on DQS other than via high speed cable line? We have a recreational lot and it would be nice to be able to work from there during the summer but there is no cable there, no phone line either, although phone could be installed, but I don't think DQS works off of phone line. Any suggestions?
Satellite
I had that same problem and switched to a satellite company called Wild Blue. Have had no problems since.
satellite
I did buy a satellite. Spent $500 on the dish, more on the service and $60 month on fees and couldn't use it. There is a 10 second lag from the time that you hit the letter on the keyboard to the time that it appears on the screen. Talk about infuriating. They told assured me that it would work fine at the dish company. Then they told me that possibly with the $120 a month business upgrade it MAY take care of that problem (but didn't). Works fine when surfing the web but definitely does NOT work fine for transcription!!
Do you know if DRC can use satellite?
We have high-speed, business-grade satellite which some companies can use but others cannot. That is how we came to be suddenly out of work when we moved.
satellite
Thanks, all!
DirecWay is the only one available where I live. So far, several trans services have said they won't accept satellite because they experiences they've had with it are very unreliable. Some even said they'd prefer dial-up! I live in a single-wide mobile home, so a large dish might not fit on roof along with my TV dish.
I can either pay $600-800 for the equipment & about $60 a month, or $99.99 a month without buying equipment. Don't want to buy due to moving out of area or DSL becoming available...whichever comes first.
satellite
Boy, I know exactly how you feel. I work for a hospital and they are just switching to a new system which requires high speed internet. I live in the middle of no where and cannot get high speed or DSL, so may have to drive back into the office an hour a way unless they can come up with a system that is compatible with satellite as that is all there is out here. :( If you come up with any other options, let me know too. Do you know anything about wave pedal? I also do side work and this is what has been recommended to me by someone, but know nothing about it.
Satellite
I want to know too. What about wireless? Does anybody have that where they have an antenna on their house for wireless?
Satellite
I have been using satellite for two years now since my company sent the transcriptionists home to work. Many say that if you are working with VPN, satelllite will not work, but this has not been the case for me. The satellite dish has been just fine for me for downloading voice files and file transfers, so I'm not sure why some companies don't allow it.
VPN/Satellite
I have the personal 2-way DW6000. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by what version of software I'm running. To upgrade to the business edition, does it entail getting a different satellite?
satellite
My hospital does not allow satellite at all, and some other ads that I have looked at say the same thing. If there is anyway of getting wireless, you are better off, as then you would be prepared if you change positions. I am still working of dial up until the wirelss company that said he thinks he can get us wireless between the hills and trees can get here to do it. Holding my breath, believe me. Good luck.
Satellite sm
Are there a lot of you out there who use satellite and work at home? How does it work for you and what company allows it? Do you use an FTP site, what is the set up? Just trying to find out what exactly will work with satellite. They say a VPN will not work. Thanks!
Satellite
I have used a satellite system called Wild Blue to work for over a year now. Both jobs I work use VPN, and while it isn't quite as fast as DSL or cable, I have had no problems connecting to VPN. The only thing I notice is about a half second lag time. One job I use an FTP and the other I use transnet. I am able to get my work and return it without any problems. You didn't state whether you were looking for employee status or IC, but one place I know you wouldn't have any problem working with satellite is Peoplesupport Rapid Text (IC). Hope this info helps!
Satellite & VPN
Yes - I have used satellite and VPN for the past 3 years - works fine. It does make upload times a bit slower, but I did finally upgrade- which works pretty well now. The only problem I have is the weather occasionally - otherwise works great. Yes - lots of companies don't want satellite - doesn't work with their system or something, but there are plenty others that don't mind the satellite.
Satellite & VPN
I have satellite with Hughes - used to be Direcway. I had the 6000 receiver, and just uploaded this last month to 7000. It has made quite a difference. I just did a test upload and download - here are the stats:
Without VPN on -
430 / 78 kbps
With VPN on -
477 / 40 kbps
It does vary from day to day and minute to minute though - because on December 20, I had 615 / 75 without VPN.
Hope this helps - I have been able to work using this (thank goodness because I don't have DSL or cable in my area yet), so if you have to use satellite - it can work. If I had the option, I still would go with cable or something just for the reliability - don't have to worry about storms or such coming through to interrupt the signal - or snow piling up on the dish, etc.
I have satellite and really like it.
It is all that is available in my area other than dial-up. I had one company tell me they could not work with satellite, and talked them into letting me try and it works just fine. One of the reasons some say they don't allow satellite is that some satellite systems are not compatible with VPNs. Just ask the satellite company you are considering if their service works w/ VPNs. They will know what you mean.
satellite ISP
I have Wild Blue and it is a lot better than dial up. However, beware that VPN will not work in most cases with any satellite provider. Found this out the hard way. Still have to use dial-up for my only account that is totally online because of this. I am getting ready to purchase a Verizon air card and hopefully can discontinue both the satellite and the dial up servers, so will be paying the same monthly fee. Otherwise, it works great. Hope it works out for you.
satellite ISP
Yes. Matter of fact, another girl that works the same accounts and uses the same services I do, got her Verizon air card today and it is working beautifully for her. I should get mine by Tuesday. I can't wait. She said the account we mainly needed it for is just like being at the hospital itself. As long as you are in a range of a cell phone tower, it should work. I believe Sprint offers one as well, but Verizon has one that you can use on either a desktop or laptop with a USB plug. Hope this helps.
satellite
I have no access to cable or DSL either. I use a satellite. I'm currently working for MedQuist, and the satellite works great. However, with all the pay cuts I will be leaving soon. There are only a few companies compatible with satellite. Precyse has the same typing platform as MQ, which is satellite compatible. I will be starting work for them on 08/06/2007. I've seen it posted that TRS takes some satellite. Keep your fingers crossed for cable or DSL!!
satellite
I recently did a search for reviews for satellite internet. The reviews were horrible. Some people paid out all that money and then their connection was not any faster than dial-up. Also, after you sign the contract and the equipment is installed, there is little that can be done. Apparently the fine print in the contract stated that no guarantees of speed could be made.
satellite
I am wondering about satellite as well, as I only have access to dialup. I only pay tops $24.95 per month for dialup, but would pay $50 or more per month for satellite with Dishnet, after buying their equipment for $199. Most companies require high speed so we folks with only dialup have a harder time to find jobs at home. 
VPN and satellite
I used VPN and satellite(Wild Blue) up until about 2 weeks ago when DSL was finally made available at my boonies home. Other than a longer lag time between screens, it worked well for me.
Satellite
Anyone working from home on satellite? Our in-house transcription departments are getting the boot. Need a job.
Debbie
satellite
Debbie - I worked with satellite until I was able to get DSL. I live in a very rural area. Satellite is way better than dial up, but not all accounts are compatible. I have no idea why, but had to pass up a couple of hospitals due to that. As far as speed, the satellite worked fine for me, but of course, DSL is faster.
Satellite
I have had hughes.net for over a year. I do live in the country and DSL/cable is not available to me. I finally switched over to a wireless card through Alltel (AT&T has the same thing) and it works so much better. Very fast and no outages in cloudy weather. If you have this option, I would definitely consider it. More companies will accept the wireless than satellite also.
I have used satellite and sm
with a VPN. Word of caution...because sure that the system you rent/buy is one where the upload is as fast as you can get. VPNs require reciprocal signal (that is up and down the line "pings" to remain connected). When I had DirecWay, I could run 786 in download, but I would run at 48 upload, which is slower than a 56.6 dialup modem! For ages, I had to DL from the dish, UL with the phone line, what a pain!
Ask plenty of questions is the long and short of this. Be sure you have it fast enough uploading to run a VPN.
