Information About MTatHome and Our
Medical Transcription Training Courses
MTatHome has been in business since
1997.
We teach medical transcription, billing, and
coding to help others have a rewarding career in the healthcare industry.
For over 13 years we taught
just medical transcription
classes. However, in 2011 Medical Billing
& Coding classes were added to our program.
There is a lot of information about these
medical career classes on our web site. We hope that this information will be useful to you in researching your new
career field.
It is important to research the career no
matter what school you choose for your training; we want you to be well informed!
We feel that every potential medical
transcriptionist should research as much information as possible about the career field they are considering so
that they can make an informed decision as to if it is the right career for them.
Our medical transcription course will come
with free job assistance; resume assistance and
student support from our student advisors. You will also get a certificate of completion once you successfully
complete the class.
Our staff has years of experience in these
medical career fields. You will have the option to speak with them on the phone, through an e-mail and online live
chat anytime you have a question about your course during our regular business hours.
One of the benefits of receiving your
training through MTatHome is that you will get personal attention when you need it. We do not just send you the
course and walk away! You can contact us anytime during business hours, and if it is after business hours you can
send an e-mail for our student support to answer the next business day.
MTatHome can help you succeed in working from
home in the medical career field with the proper training, we provide to you.
Our school keeps up with the updates and
changes that doctors and hospitals expect a new medical transcriptionist, biller or medical coder to know. This is
important so that the proper training can be given to our students.
Our company is based out of Texas. We have
staff that works both from our office and from their home offices to give extended online support to our students
when needed.
Even though this is a self-study course we
give you the support and resources needed to be successful in your new career.
One of the things you will find about our
company is that we are up front and honest! We will not give you inaccurate information, and we will not sugar coat
things just to get an enrollment.
It upsets us deeply when we think about the
people that are ripped off by the fly-by-night scams, or any scam, for that matter. Many of these companies only
care about the money and do not care about what they are doing to the people they are ripping off.
It should not matter if it is $1.00 or a
$1,000.00; it is still your hard-earned money, and you deserve to be told both the
pros and cons of things so that you can decide
based on the "facts" and not based
on someone who is thinking of just dollar signs!
It is very important that you have the
availability of student assistance when you need it; that is why we are open from 9 AM until 9 PM CST, six days a
week.
Our office hours allow students in different
time zones to reach us in both afternoons and evenings, which are when most students are doing their
studying.
We do close the office during most holidays
and on Sundays as we are a Christian owned company.
MTatHome will not make you false promises! We
can tell you that if you work hard, study, and pass the course with good grades and high accuracy, then you should
do fine when it comes to getting a job as an MT.
We will give you both resume and job
assistance upon completion of your training. This will include assisting you with your resume, suggesting anything
that might need to be corrected along with submitting your resume to open positions that are submitted to us by
doctors and hospitals.
There are a lot of medical transcription
jobs, especially since dictations went from the tape method to the digital method several years back.
Once the potential employer contacts you,
they will request that you take a sample dictation / transcription test in consideration of hiring you to work for
them as their new MT.
Medical transcription is very much in high
demand! There is a huge shortage of qualified MTs. Doctors usually have someone in their office that will do the
medical billing and coding; however, they are in need of MTs to keep their patient's records up to date.
The transcriptionist will usually do this
from their home (home office). The job that each medical transcriptionist does is vital because the information in
a patient’s medical record can be just as important as a legal file.
Many people will review the patient’s medical
records such as radiologists, surgeons, doctor referrals, and many more. The information included in the medical
records / file can be a matter of life or death if the wrong information is typed into the reports.
A simple mistake such as a blood type can be
a huge problem in emergency situations when there is not a lot of time, and the doctor has to go by what is in the
patient’s records. This is why the accuracy of a patient's record of what is dictated for the transcriptionist to
transcribe is very important!
The way this works is that the doctor
dictates his notes into either a micro-cassette recorder (older method) or into a .wav file for digital
transcription (newer method). You would then either transfer the file through the Internet or if on micro-cassette,
they will either have you pick up the tape or will mail it to you.
At that point, you will transcribe the
dictations into typed medical reports. Once you have checked it for accuracy; you would then return the typed
reports to the doctor, so they can have their office staff place the dictated reports in the patient’s
file.
During and after your course, you will have
access to the student area of this site.
One of the things that helps an MT stay
successful is keeping up with new terminology, drug names and dosages. We provide this information along with links
to other sites as well inside our Student Area.
We are looking forward to helping you become
a successful MT working from your own home!
