The short answer

Workers' compensation transcription is the typing of reports that physicians dictate after evaluating an injured worker: IMEs, QME and AME reports, PR-4 reports and addenda. IME & QME Transcription types these to each state's format for California, Ohio, Florida and New York, with a separate QA review and a 24-hour standard turnaround.

What changes from state to state?

The report a California QME dictates is not the report an Ohio BWC examiner dictates. California uses QME and AME panels and PR-4 reports; Ohio examines allowed conditions; Florida uses major contributing cause and Expert Medical Advisors; New York uses IME-4 and IME-5 forms and schedule loss of use. Our typists work to those formats.

How does the workflow run?

You dictate as you normally do and send the audio through the encrypted upload. A transcriptionist who works on that report family types the draft to your template, a separate reviewer checks it, and the document comes back ready for your review and signature.

  • Encrypted upload, or start with one free sample file
  • Typed to your existing template, headings and signature block
  • Separate QA pass for terminology, figures, dates and medications
  • Unclear audio is flagged for you instead of guessed
  • Returned in Word or your preferred format

How are files protected?

Audio and finished reports are transferred and stored encrypted, with a record of who accessed each file. The people who handle your dictation are under signed NDAs, and a BAA can be signed before the first file is sent. Please do not put patient details in the quote form; use the upload instead.
