You don't know what accts I work on so how can you judge whether or not they are excellent? nm

There's plenty of work at Webmedx - my group of accounts is running OT. SM
Again, why don't you ask your manager for MORE WORK?
Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
I said there was a group e-mail sent about being out of work.
They were not limiting anything.
Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

This company is actually still in business. I used to work for MRC Group

in Arizona.  I was so intrigued by you posting MRC Group out of Maryland, that I just called the company and talked to Christine.  She stated that MRC Group was bought out by MQ.  Two of the brothers went on and did their own thing, while the other owner and his wife still own a part of MRC Group which is out of Maryland and have an office in Florida.  The owners of this company have been in business for about 40 years now.  The husband and wife have given the company to their daughter to run what is left of MRC Group out of Maryland.  The company has approximately 40 transcriptionists and are currently hiring transcriptionists across the USA who will work from home.  Hope this helps.  I was shocked to hear this news.  Sounds like a very nice office and very upbeat and positive.


They are an excellent co to work for as QA.
I have no idea why they are still looking, but yes they are a really good co to do QA for as they pay hourly and have benefits.
No Work Either and I am on one of the new accts
.
You are the most immature group of people I have ever encountered. Go to work.

I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to
x
Yes, they are an excellent company to work for. sm
Plenty of work. More accounts coming on every day. Totally US based. Pay on time every time. Management pretty good (I have not had to deal with them much so no basis to make a really good call.) They do expect you to work your schedule, make your line counts and achieve 98% on all work.
you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm

i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
One of my secondary accts has very little work , but they..sm
stat every blessed report they do, so I always get those immediately. It is TAT, but your STM can explain it in more detail.
I work with a rescue group so I get my share of fuzzy feelings
I financed a group to get it started, paying for the animal's care, vet bills, medicine and still do the financing. I also take my money and help others out. I just sent some money yesterday to a MT whose has a son who is in dire shape and she wants to go be with him. Not too long ago I read on here about a lady who needed help in buying a foot pedal. I sent her money for that so basically you don't know what you are saying when you say help others out. My mother said I did this from a very young age and I continue to do the same. I also take care of me, though. As far as a sugar daddy, never wanted one. I have a chef husband and a housekeeper. I work, travel, rescue animals, help others out when I want to. Priceless. End of conversation.
I think they do an excellent job of balancing work/employees.( sm)
Call or E-mail your supervisor and let him/her know. Came from MQ myself and I am not worried at all.

I came from MQ doing a main account of 900 plus beds so it was a shock to me to see the backlogs as low as they were on my accounts with Webmedx.

Trying to balance the work flow with employees must be an absolute nightmare. So many variables.

Good luck, call and talk to somebody. These are the nicest people who seem to really value their employees. What a change huh?


the new accts were supposed to already be on board and still no work
x
so far plenty and swamped with work but that is due to new accts and not enough MTs yet so not sure
;
Dedicated accts, few ESL, leave you alone to work.
x
Companies with new accts or sufficient work?
When I left my last job, the work load was on the wane and recent posts seem to indicate this has not changed much.  Any good news out there in this regard?
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM
I work 2 accts, always work available, pay as IC is good..
They offered me more than Transcend did, I work 2nd shift, work always availble, OT usually available. Staff is very responsive to questions, very helpful.


Someone else asking if you still need a Cphone & 2nd line to work for them. Any internet accts? nm

Definitely running out of work. nm

i work for Cymed and no work either. very hard to get line counts.
Running out of work

Hi there!


About running out of work - I see this is a very hot topic on the boards, as well as in the entire industry, and it's always the same this time of year.  I am a supervisor now, but when I was a regular MT, working on production, it used to be the most frustrating time ever - from mid-October to right after the first of the year.  I'll never forget dialing in multiple times on my C phone one Christmas - all day long.  I just felt like I was fighting for work. 


First of all, the reason for this dramatic drop in work is attributed to several different reasons.  It's not that the company has hired too many people, and pushed you out of work.  It's not that someone is secretly manipulating your work pool, and taking work away.  It has nothing to do with offshoring, or any of that - Trust me.  This was a problem WAY before offshoring became the major issue it is today.  This is simply a result of less office and hospital visits.  Most hospital visits are generated by older patients, and their routine, or urgent, procedures, necessitating H&Ps, Consultations, Discharge Summaries, OP notes, clinic visits to follow up the surgery they just had, etc., and etc. Many of them simply do not want to get out this time of year.  They will put off going to the doctor until after the holidays.  No one wants to schedule things during the holidays, and even people who have minor emergencies will try to treat themselves rather than go to the ER during this busiest season of the year.


So, how do we manage it?


I take a lesson from some people I know who are union workers, and their work is mostly outdoors.  Their work slows down during the wintertime.  They know it, and they prepare for it.  They put their funds in a savings account, or their branch of the union does it for them, to doll out later when work is leaner.  You can be your own credit union.  Many companies offer great - ABSURDLY great - incentives when the work is in a big backlog.  Take this opportunity next year, and put all of your overtime or incentive pay in a savings account, so you can use it when the holidays hit again near the end of October next year!  You could just jump from company to company, or decide to go work in an office somewhere hourly, but don't fool yourself.  Neither of those solutions will ever replace the rewards for being a dependable, steady, disciplined, loyal employee of a good company.  Find one you like, and stick with it, but know ahead of time that this year is going to be lean.  Be ready - be expectant.  It's one of the things about this industry you wish someone would have told you when you started, right?  Well, I'm telling you...


Anybody else with MDI-MD running out of work lately?nm

running out of work
any companies out there that are not running out of work for their employees????
Why is everyone running out of work?-sm

Either these companies are overhiring, or losing accounts? What do you think it is?  I am afraid to start my new job, because I am seeing posts where they run out of work....This is too frustrating...

RE: Why is everyone running out of work?-sm
Everyone - Too broad of an interpretation - The company I work for, no shortage of work.
RE: Running out of work at MDI-MA
Try one of the heavy ESL teaching accounts.... you'll never have to worry about running out of work. They do have them ya know!
Running out of work
I am a new Precyse MT (2 wks)  and there have been a couple times when I've run out of work before end of my shift, but as soon as I notified my manager, I was given another account to work on. They have so far been very responsive to me and always willing to work with me.  I love it so far.  
I keep running out of work.
The platform is pretty pathetic.  The do pay on time and seem friendly.  I switched companies because I kept running out of work and the same goes on here.  Oh well.   I am tired of learning new doctors and new personalities so I plan on staying.  Maybe I can find something else really flexible to fill in the low spots.    Good luck!
running out of work
I left this outfit at the first of the year and my accounts with my new employer have been going hot and heavy every since.  Let's face it people, people do not quit getting sick or having surgeries in the summer months.  There is no slow season in this field. 
To MDI-MD MTs; is work still running low; I was about to
accept a position but then I heard work had been low. I was also told by recruiter the ESLs were few but then I saw some postings stating there were many. I have been where I am at for several years so when I move I want it to be somewhere I will be happy for a long while. Can you give me an honest opinion?
Yes, but then she might be running out of work.
No win.
KS and running out of work
I think it depends on what account you work on. I worked there a while back and was assigned a certain # of physicians. If they did not dictate then I did not have work. This was clinic work - but if you are on acute care or maybe radiology that might not be the case.
TT running out of work
Ask for a backup.  Today is my day off but I just logged on to see if there was any work to be had and yep, plenty.  I'm P/T and most of the time work more than I would like because of backlog.  Please don't call me a powers that be or any such.  I'm just a lowly MT who has worked for TT for about 4 years, ran out of work only a couple of times on my primary in all that time, asked for a secondary, got it and haven't needed to work on it since.  I sure do get tired of the TT bashing though, doesn't even sound like the TransTech I work for.
If everyone is running out of work...
then why are they hiring? I have an interview Monday for a job with MDI-FL, acute care, ExText account. Which account(s) do you work on?
I think the running out of work is because ...

of the time of the year.  Typically the period between Thanksgiving and the first of the year is a slowdown for the entire industry. 


This company pays well and on time.  They treat their employees very well.  You won't go wrong applying here and accepting their offer if one is extended. 


running out of work
Before I left they finally got direct deposit, but I did recall MTs calling often because they were low on work. In my experience as an MT, it is always best to work for at least 2 companies. I work Superior Global and Focus and love them both.
Running out of work
I can honestly say that I have really never run out of work for more than a few minutes, always make my lines. I even worked extra a few nights these past 2 weeks when asked.
Running out of work.... sm
I can't understand how you could be running out of work at MQ. Maybe a year ago, but not anymore. Some times I wish the work would run out, but there is always work.
work running out
I am curious when I see such postings here on the board.

What type of reports are you generally being assigned??

It's scary to see work running out, no matter what 'type' it is.
You won't be running out of work at all. nm
