I think AHDI members pay $190, nonmembers pay $275. I was part of a credentialing cup this spring where 10 of us from a study group signed up at the same time and it only cost $150 whether you were an AHDI member or not.
cost
Subject: cost

The cost was $150 for the multiple choice part of the test (which you have to pass before you took the second part) and $150 for the transcription part of the CMT test and this was back in the late 1990s when I took the CMT test.  That was when it was nice to have the credentials but I did not get any acknowledgment or any more money back then for having the initials.  I let my CMT lapse as it is major money each year to get the CCU's in order to keep your CMT.  You need to go to lectures or classes that offer CCU's.  Not sure how you go about getting those anymore.  We had local monthly meetings and yearly state conventions and county conventions and were offered many CCU's for each convention and those were fun and educational to attend back in the good old days. 


Wish we still were in the good old days.  I was even president of my local AAMT meetings too, and I really thought it meant something and it was a pleasure then, but things have SOOOOO changed.  And not for the better.

Re: Dig effect
Subject: Re: Dig effect

Thanks so much for your help. I've been transcribing for 5 months and this is the 1st time I've had a doc use this term. Oh, and in my original post, I meant to say "dictating," not "dictation."

Have a happy New Year!

I am not certain if sweeping the garage had any associated or attributed affect as it was just a small push broom.

Is this the right one? I have looked them up but it is still a little unclear which one to use. Could anybody explain more clearly how to differentiate?

There are five distinct words here. When “affect” is accented on the final syllable (a-FECT), it is usually a verb meaning “have an influence on”: “The million-dollar donation from the industrialist did not affect my vote against the Clean Air Act.”

Occasionally a pretentious person is said to affect an artificial air of sophistication. Speaking with a borrowed French accent or ostentatiously wearing a large diamond ear stud might be an affectation. In this sort of context, “affect” means “to make a display of or deliberately cultivate.”

Another unusual meaning is indicated when the word is accented on the first syllable (AFF-ect), meaning “emotion.” In this case the word is used mostly by psychiatrists and social scientists— people who normally know how to spell it.

The real problem arises when people confuse the first spelling with the second: “effect.” This too can be two different words. The more common one is a noun: “When I left the stove on, the effect was that the house filled with smoke.” When you affect a situation, you have an effect on it.

The less common is a verb meaning “to create”: “I’m trying to effect a change in the way we purchase widgets.” No wonder people are confused. Note especially that the proper expression is not “take affect” but “take effect”—become effective. Hey, nobody ever said English was logical: just memorize it and get on with your life.

The stuff in your purse? Your personal effects.

This always confuses me and it is hard to tell what the NP is saying.  Sentence is:


Seroquel dose has some affect with respect to improving patient’s behaviors but the duration of the effect is minimal.


Is this right?
