A medical transcriptionist is needed to transcribe doctor's notes and if this information is not completed correctly, it can interfere with tests and/or treatments ordered that may seriously harm or kill the patient. Also, there could be a concern of the billing being off and the patient being charged more if the transcriptionist submits to the billing department the incorrect information.
