AccuStat Wisconsin recruiter replies...

Hey fellow MTs - I got an immediate response from AccuStat (WI) when I replied to one of their ads.  I did some research on the company before I told them I was interested.  My reply email was 12 hours after they sent me theirs.  Now I haven't heard from them.  I wonder if I waited too long to respond.  I was actually trying to decide between 2 companies and guess I took too long.  Haven't heard back from either one of them.


The job searching and not knowing what's behind door #3 is the almost the worst part of this profession. 


Thank goodness for this board!  I have made many, many a career decision based partly and sometimes entirely on these comments.  TY!

I can speak for AccuSTAT Wisconsin. It's not affiliated to any other AccuSTAT.
I've been with AccuSTAT Wisconsin now for 9 years and I wouldn't work anywhere else. The work is acute care (basic 4), mostly ops and ER work. The work is done thru C-phone or VXP software.


Did you try AccuSTAT Wisconsin? nm

AccuStat in Wisconsin
I need some input from anyone working for AccuStat. I started with them on Monday. Today is Thursday. Not much work given to me so far. My work is top quality, so that's not the issue. I'm getting nervous. So far I have made enough money to buy McDonald's lunch (well, maybe dinner too). Do they run out of work often? Help!!! I need some input.
AccuStat Wisconsin

Would anyone have any info on this company based out of Wisconsin?


TIA!


I only know about AccuSTAT in Wisconsin, but
you can check the archives. It is a small MTSO with good accounts and good dictators, but they only hire IC status and I needed benefits. The pay was always on time and for headers and spaces.

 I have been working for this company for 6 months as an IC (editor and MT).  The owner is great to work and pay is always on time.   The dictators I get are like dreams.  Having to have a C-phone can be a bit of an obstacle, but luckily for me I am an oldie and so I have one.  Great work, straight  typing and you are actually paid for what you do.  I know there are so many questions about different companies and I wanted to give my opinion on this one.


Have a great day!


Does AccuSTAT in Wisconsin have a website?-nm

Love AccuStat out of Wisconsin!!! sm
Funny thing. This is just a part time job. I work as QA and still transcribe as well. Today, I realized that the part time job I decided to take for Christmas of 2007 has continued for 10 full months and I have absolutely no desire to leave. Great people, great work! I hope everyone can find a company like them!
Which AccuSTAT are you referring to, Wisconsin or Carollinas?

Info on Keystrokes, Deventure & Accustat Wisconsin

Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!



 


The one in Wisconsin?

Are they in Wisconsin?
Could you tell me if you are an employee or IC with them. What did you like about working for them? Good platform, work types, etc.? Thanks for any info!
PS...I am in Wisconsin also

If it's the one in Wisconsin, all bad - see archives nm

If it is the company in Wisconsin, you will have trouble with pay.
They pay late frequently; they short paychecks; they don't know how to use direct deposit and will "wire" your pay and you have to pay a wire transfer fee at your bank; look in the archives. They are also EXTREMELY unorganized and unprofessional. Nothing good here.
Transcription Express - Wisconsin
Does anyone have any information on this company?
Does anyone have any info on U.S. Transcription in Wisconsin? sm
Checked archives but did not find anything. 
Any info on Medscript out of Wisconsin?

Medscript Transcription Service, out of Watertown or Oconomowoc - has anyone worked there,  any info good or bad to share?


Mediscript and Medscript out of Texas and/or Florida are different companies and not what I'm looking for.   Thanks. 


Has any one heard of On-Point MT Services out of Wisconsin?
Some friends of mine went to On-Point which is fairly new.  But I heard there are problems like being understaffed and payroll not being met.

Medscribe in Indiana and Medscript Transcription Service out of Wisconsin
Does anyone know anything about either of these companies?  Also, what does one need to be an IC; that is tax forms, etc. 
Thanks both of you for your replies!

Thanks for your replies....
Thanks guys, I've always kept at it and then kept at it some more.  I maintain my 98% to 100% accuracy, and I do increase my line count weekly, its only by a 100 to 200 lines a week tho and still not doing the line count they want.  But, I'll keep at it some more and take your suggestions to heart.  I do love being an MT, I don't care what anyone says.  When you live in a small town and have to drive an hour to get decent pay, until you subtract gas, clothing and lunches, I'd much rather be here in my office, working at it on a day to day basis and not have to deal with office politics.  I'll figure it out somehow.  
Thanks for your replies. nm

Thanks for your replies -

 I am leaning toward Webmedx.  They offer fantastic benefits.  It's true, the starting pay for ERs is not great, but with the incentive plan and evening/weekend differential - yeah, not bad.  They offer a 12-hour window for getting work done (on some accounts). 


 Now, the question is, are the ESLs okay, bad, simply terrible, or just flat out unbelievable?!!!!

Thank you for your replies.
I am going to have a phone interview later today with the recruiter, so I'll see what she has to say.

If I decide to go with Spheris, I am probably going to stay on at my current company at least for a little while to make sure Spheris is a good fit. At least that way, I'm not out of luck if it doesn't work out.

Thank you again. You have given me a lot to think about.
Thanks for the replies
I had already heard some good things but just wanted to check out some other sources as well.  Thanks again!
Thank you for your replies everyone.

I'm trying not to beat myself up too much about the test/score.  I guess what they meant by timed test is that you have 24 hours to reply to the email and/or take the test and send it back to the company.  But even still, I took as much time as I needed and used all of my reference materials to make double sure my answers were right.  There was only one question that I could not find an answer to and therefore I guessed at the answer but even still that shouldn't have given me the score of 88.  But, needless to say, that is water under the bridge and I'm moving down the river to stop at the next sand bar. 


 


As a matter of fact I have another email in my box from another company wanting to talk to me but need to do a little research on them first.  Zylomed - any info?


 


I try not to rely solely on Radiology, however, it is my absolute favorite.  I absolutely, postively cannot stand to do OP notes so I try to stay away from hospital accounts. 


 


Again thank you all for your replies and support, it really helps when you are beating yourself up to have someone else to try to pat you on the back and give a boost of self esteem. 


I'd look at it this way, if there are not a lot of replies
have changed their name, or no one really has anything bad to say.  Why try to pick someone's brain who just posts a one-liner.  Maybe the poster does not want to go into it on this board and write a book.
Thanks for all your replies.I appreciate it. (sm)
I'm not only new to TT, I'm new to working for a national. Don't know all the ins and outs of the system procedures, etc. I was an IC for longer than I care to comment on, and my eyes seem to give out (watering, itching, burning) after a certain amount of hours on the PC.
thanks for replies, but.....sm
I guess the key word here is training.  They all want experienced eScription editors and I have never had the opportunity to learn it.  Do you know if these companies specifically train on eScription?  TIA

Thanks for replies......
So stressed out over it. Hopefully it will pick up. I really wonder what's happening here.
Thanks Everyone for Your Replies
Thanks MslaMT and others who replied about the line count difference. I surely appreciate the feedback, and am glad to have this little eScription community on this board to have discussions with. Happy Holidays to all-!!
Thanks for your replies.
I had seen those in the archives. I decided to keep looking and not apply.
Thank you, everyone, for your replies.
Every time I get excited about maybe finding a good job, I come on here and see how terrible the company is. Thank goodness for this board to find those things out, but I'm really starting to get frustrated - are there no more good and honest places to work for any more?
Thanks for the replies (sm)
I do have insurance coverage now, but there are several issues at my employer and I am desperate to go somewhere else. My husband is currently laid off, so I cannot afford to pay COBRA for 3 months while I am waiting for benefits to kick in at another employer. My son has a chronic medical condition, so private insurance is not an option (automatically declined everywhere we've tried). I'm praying that an opportunity will open up that will allow me to switch employers and get good insurance coverage. I hate being trapped where I am because of the insurance issue.
Thanks so much for the replies! sm
To those of you kind enough to take time out to respond, I want to thank you for alleviating some of the anxiety I had. I've been in this field over 15 years, but change can be scary, even if it is for the better.

Thanks again. You all are awesome!
