Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Amen. Look at Canada/Sweden/England who have UHC. sm

In Reply to: univ health care is a scam. its not working - sm

A patient has to wait literally months to get a simple doctor's appointment. In the news just yesterday was a lawsuit in England where a patient died of breast cancer waiting to get an appointment with an oncologist. That is why Florida sees an influx of Canadians every winter; they save all of the routine healthcare workups for once a year, go to Florida, and get their healthcare taken care of.

Universal healthcare is not free. We will pay for it with increased taxes and pay for it DEARLY.

Well, there is nothing I can do about what line rate is offered here in Canada. I have chosen this career so have to take the good with the bad. And, depending on how many lines you can type in an hour depends on how much you will make per hour - With the amount of lines that I can type in an hour, it works out to pretty average - and almost triple what I used to get paid when I worked in-office, so pretty pleased.

Has anyone used or know anything about this company and the MT course they offer?  Am try to find out how legit they are for a friend.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks! =)
Spheris for one. They have accounts in Canada as well.

Spheris has both MTs and accounts in Canada.

Canada has MT union lowest pay $23 hr

Wow 7 cents and then also the exchange rate, I forget what my MT email friend said it was.  Gad you are making zip per hour.  Glad you are happy with it.  Not me. My friend has some of her own accounts and charges $20 and hour.


Oh well, guess you are happy.  She is unhappy with %20 an hour.


Heads up, I just found out this is a BC, Canada company!!

Evoluz Inc. hiring transcriptionist in Canada
Evoluz Inc. is a Toronto (Canada) based transcription company and they have been hiring currently.  My friend currently works for them from home and she is quite happy. They also provide interview and business transcription.

again, I'm not sure if this is the correct one you are looking for. I know nothing about this company however.

It's a good thing we don't live in Canada then
as my hubby was 64 when he had his 2 heart attacks and CABG last fall. He was lucky to have survived it as it was! 
I think these guys are based on Ontario, Canada. nm

Unions in Canada, MTs make $23 hour plus Yep
I communicate with an MT in Canada and that is what she relayed.
Just curious -- did getting paid from Canada mess up your taxes in any way? sm

I have a friend in Toronto, and we were talking about me trying to do some work for them (they pay 18 cents per line!) but wasn't sure how complicated it would be taxwise.


Thanks. 


Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...

After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option).  I am hoping this did not screw up my application. 


I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call. 


Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?

Does anyone here have experience with New England Medical Transcription? I am looking at an editing position with them and need an idea of their pay rate for editors. Also, are they prompt with payment?

Thanks in advance!
New England Med Trans
I worked for them back in 2000 and 2001 for 8 cpl hosp and 7 cpl clinic.  They direct deposit pay and are reliable and on time with pay.  Only problem I had was that pay never would go up higher than that but don't know about now.  No set hours which is good but 24 hour turnaround time.  I actually know the owner from living in that area in the past and they are a trustworthy company just not high paying unless they have changed.  I would be interested if you get a job with them how they are now to work with.  Anything else I can answer just ask.

Has anybody worked for them? If so, can you give me the poop on them. I'm asking for a friend.


 


Thanks


I lived in England and ....sm
They do not employ at-home transcriptionists there and have very few medical transcription companies.  Because they have National Healthcare, all work is done by government employees in the hospital/clinic.  Not sure if Ireland is the same way.  I continued to work for a company in USA but they have since sold.
New England Medical Transcription
The pay per line is not the greatest, but I find that I do better with them because I always have the same dictators (about six, shared with a couple of other transcriptionists) who are easy to understand, so I can do more lines in less time. Rarely bothered by anyone in the office. IC status only, I believe.
Anyone know anything about New England Medical Transcription? sm
They have an ad on MT Jobs.  Mostly, is the pay on time, people decent to work with, etc.?  Any input is greatly appreciated.
New England Medical Transcription
I work for them and work is only done in Word.  Work is very, very easy.  They only hire IC.  Pay is every week.

Hi,


Considering employment with New England Medical Transcription and was just wondering if someone could give me information, pros and cons of this company, etc.


Thanks in advance


 


Does anyone know anything about New England Medical Transcriptions and the ad they had
posted for pathology last week?  Thanks.
New England Medical Transcription...sm

Does anyone know if they pay weekly?


Also, could anyone please share any experience you may have with them?  I'm interested in applying and would like some feedback.  Do they use FTP?  Is there a lot of search for demographic information or is that built in to their platform -- i.e. information is supplied by client? (Not sure how to word that question.)


Thanks so much!

New England Medical Transcripion...how are they?
Looking for any insight into this company related to workload, work flow consistency, management staff, sound quality....the usual. Appreciate your help.
New England Medical...my experience...

I have been an IC with them about 3 months. I agree with other comments that the management is a cut above all the other companies that I have been with, good communication, friendly and know their stuff. Once off QA they don't watch your  every move, but they give good QA feedback. And I absolutely LOVE ChartNet, not sure how many of their accounts use it, though the one I am on does.


I'm part time with them and there is always more than enough work.


As far as I know they only hire IC...but you would be best off confirming that with the company, because I'm not positive.


The only downside is their pay is low -- but to be honest, they've got enough other positives going for them that I'm hoping to be with them a long time. Some things you just can't buy, if you know what I mean.


Feel free to e-mail me if you would like more information. Good luck!

Anybody work for New England Medical transcription?  How is it?  Their platform?  Plenty of work?
New England Medical Transcription
I just tested for New England MT, and from what I've read on the board it seems like a wonderful place to work.  Can anyone who has applied there before tell me how long it was before you heard back after taking your test.  I took a couple of gets for GT work about three months ago and not one word back so I was curious to see if you heard back one way or the other in a reasonable amount of time.
Testing for New England company.
Has anyone done the testing for NE?  I tried and found it very difficult to access and upload and download files.  In fact my computer said that zip files were corrupted and I could not even get the files loaded.  How do you go about uploading zip files?  I was afraid to proceed as my computer was warning me of security risks to my computer.   Anybody else having these problems?

Update on New England Medical Transcription
I heard from them today.  I was offered the job and am in the process of sending back the contract.  I'm excited to be starting something new, but nervous at the same time.  I'll be starting a whole new speciality since they don't have any nephrology, which is what I do now.
