Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

one would think offering expertise and guidance

Posted By: in a field having more experience on 2005-08-18
In Reply to: The FUNNY thing is that in the amount of time it takes for them to post a message - they could DO A SEARCH themselves.

You'd be not only happy, but FLATTERED to be asked questions.  Newbies should be admired for asking questions and encouraged to do so, rather than putting whatever they want.  There are times when you search, and search and search, not  finding, but having two sets ears especially one with more experience is always better than one set.  Stop being grumpy already.  geez.

expertise
Well I don't have much expertise to give you, but I will tell you that you are not alone. No I don't have anywhere close to 11 accounts, just 2. BUT 1 of those accounts is a HUGE hospital and I very seldom do the same doctor. And all different kinds of reports. Not to mention I am a newbie. Also I have a low line count. I do not know of anything that I can do but keep practicing and hope I get faster.
bring your expertise!! sm
bring your expertise over to http://www.productivitytalk.com/forums/index.php.  they are always looking for new ideas!! 
I agree - charge for your technical expertise
I worked a hospital account for an MTSO that liked my work so well that they asked the MTSO to use my templates and daily logs for all of the work types asked the MTSO to give them to all the other MTs on the account, present and future. I did not know they had pirated my logs and templates until after I received a promotion to work in the office. I was livid! It took years to perfect those templates and logs. They were created based on my knowledge of what Joint Commission liked in audits. They did NOT get the macros or instructions on how to move around the documents (lots of hidden codes in those logs/templates).

I had negotiated a relocation fee of a few thousand dollars to move to their area to work in the office. I didn't feel badly about not paying it back when I left 6 months later after discovering lots of things like that once I started working in house.

You did the work. If he wants them and if you want him to have them, decide on a fair price, then add 15% :)


Need Guidance...











Hello Everyone,


 



I am not an MT student, but I have only been a Transcriptionist for 1.5 years.  I am looking for some guidance and was hoping someone could help me.  I am looking for ways to become more productive.  I have Instant Text and it is helping big time, but I think my editing slows me down.  Any tips on editing would be greatly appreciated or any tips at all.  I like this profession, but I am becoming discouraged because I can not produce 1000 lines per day.  It seems impossible unless I work all day and all night.  So, if you have any advice please post it to me or email me please.  Thank you!



 



Sincerely,



Nissalou


guidance
I think you can learn just as much in long distance learning unless you are the type of person who prefers classroom learning where someone is there to ask questions.
I will say it was VERY difficult for me to get started in medical transcription. I thought I would never find that first job. I did eventually and I like the flexibility of working at home as a medical transcriptionist.
I was looking for internet, but thank you for the help and guidance!!!

Tell him you have reviewed the time and expertise it takes to do his work, versus ... - sm
... the amount of revenue his practice generates, and being a prudent businessperson you don't wish to undervalue your services.
Go to counseling and get guidance and structure.
It CAN work if he earns back your trust and is truly sorry. Counseling can help guide you through this process. It is truly worth a try. What have you got to lose? Good luck to you! :-)
Need advise/guidance from experienced MTSOs. See inside.
I am an MTSO currently using a call in system for docs to dictate.  The transcriptionists also use the call in system to access their work and the call in system is becoming rather congested.  Want to save the call in system for the docs and put the transcriptionists on the internet.  Can someone give me advice/guidance on how to go about this?  Thank you in advance.
Privilege and weak parental guidance helped too.

She had one messed up childhood. 


they will be offering some pto time for se
doesn't say much more than that but they are mentioned
That's my question too. There you are, offering to help, SM

and here I am offering to help, and what happens? We're called liars. I always just get so stirred up by this that it makes me want to holler.


What possible good feeling could a person get from making another person feel bad? NONE!


What possible good feeling could you get for helping somebody increase her earnings? A BUNCH!


But nobody wants the help, nobody wants to know how you produce, they just want to whine.


No, it means you will have the option of offering it
to the next highest bidder if the original high bidder does not pay. Usually you will just leave it there until item is paid for and shipped. It's really just in case the first deal doesn't go through.
About offering direct deposit.
Klaar is getting ready to offer direct deposit (again). Oh boy, gotta wonder if they formerly offered it, then canceled it, and are ready to offer it again (soon).
Look at all the jobs out there NOT offering 10 or even 9 cpl. For the majority of us, it
s
I know, I was just offering an opinion on the other side...
Besides work, I have some other things going on in my life that cause it to pile up sometimes, although I swear I'm not lazy, just overwhelmed lately. I'm a stickler about the floors though.

And I'll take 4 over 5 any day!

Offering E-Signature to a Client

 


Hi,


Does anyone know about offernig E-Signature to a client? Is there a way to do it easily, on your own -- I mean, instead of signing up with a big company like Vianeta or Bayscribe to handle all of the reports you type and want to send to a client.


Or... If that's the only way to go - through a big company - are there any big companies that are economical if you just have 1-2 doctor clients?  I know some of those companies charge like $5,000 as a set up fee.  Thank you.


Dave


 


 I mean, I'm sure you can do it


If offering that as bonus, you can bet it is pain
x
Depends on who is offering that. I'm pretty sure I know who.
Does it start with a T? If so, I'd have to say turn it out unless you want to get stuck with the crappiest accounts.  Why do you think they pay better than most for Escription? If you do have work that hasn't gone to India, it will be nothing but the rotten ESL accounts. Think hard about this one
No worse than the ads offering $500-1000...sm
a week at home, no experience, stuffing envelopes, addressing mail, etc, etc, at home, and once you anwer them they want you to send in money up front. 
Cuba is offering 1500 doctors to help us...

This was posted with a picture in the hurricane slideshow.


Hundreds of Cuban doctors listen to a speech by Cuban President Fidel Castro in Havana, September 4, 2005. The U.S. gave longtime foe Cuba the cold shoulder on Tuesday over its offer to send more than 1,500 doctors to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, which created a humanitarian disaster after pummeling the U.S.Golf Coast.

What a disgrace.  During times like these, people should be able to set aside their grudges and problems and come together.


MY QUESTION TOO...I don't even see that they are offering SE positions in this new plan.

I just got the memo dated Sept 2


I have read it 3 times


I do not see the words STATUTORY EMPLOYEE anywhere


I am assuming they are doing away with that position???????


Anybody know?


and if so why am I scurring around trying to buy a computer to


accommodate their new platform as an SE when they are only hiring


EMPLOYEES.........who they provide computers to


Hospial offering me 14.50 hour and benefits.

tvps.com is offering same day shipping if ordered by 3p. nm

Central FL, yes, and the theme parks are all offering jobs. nm

That means you didn't win the auction, but the seller is offering
the item to you anyway. Either the winning bidder backed out, the seller had a duplicate item, or they lowered their reserve price.
suggest offering a line count lower than....nm

Dell offering support based in N. America

By Peter Whoriskey


Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 11, 2008; Page D01


If you prefer a customer service agent who speaks "American," then computer maker Dell has a deal for you.


Catering to consumers put off by the accents of Bangalore, Manila and other call-center hubs around the globe, Dell will guarantee -- for a price -- that the person who picks up the phone on a support call will be, as company ads mention in bold text, "based in North America."


The Your Tech Team service, with agents in the United States, costs $12.95 a month for customers with a Dell account, or $99 a year for people who buy a new computer. It also promises that wait times will average two minutes or less. Without the upgrade, a customer is likely to get technical help from someone in India, the Philippines or the other places where Dell has operators.


By charging customers extra for a North American voice, Dell's program represents a novel strategy for easing the strains of globalization while maintaining profit, industry officials said.


Occasionally, "we've heard from customers that it's hard to understand a particular accent and that they couldn't understand the instructions they were getting," said Dell spokesman Bob Kaufman. "This illustrates Dell's commitment to customer choice."

Medicare is offering free installation of EMR to physicians and hospitals.
http://www.medscape.com/px/instantpollservlet/result?PollID=1502
On this new MQ rewards plan what exactly is it offering statutory employees and I suppose that that

is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.


It means one MTSO offering to pay you 3, 4 or 5 cents/line less for the same work you do at another!
 
Kaiser switching to EMR and to be offering retrival of your medical records online. sm
