    did you have to purchase equipment for this service to work or do they supply - nm

    C-phone, yes you dial into the hospital system, enter

    your code and the work comes off.  You sign off one report and the next report comes up.


    I don't work on Meditech, so I can't speak for that.  Some love it, some hate it depending on what version it is. 


    What companies allow dial-up? or C-phones and dial-up?
    I do not have (and can't get) cable or high speed internet.  Satellite is available but way too expensive to get if you are not working! I just wanna get a job....
    purchase
    Good for you!!! Any time any of my appointments come up, I will check first, and then cancel as well and tell them why I am canceling. GOOD JOB!!
    Don't purchase anything.

    Not sure if they charge you for leads or not, but don't purchase anything. You can check out places like www.transcriptionresource.com to find companies, and post your resume on the boards.  Most of those work at home leads places are dead links to so called jobs.   I found my jobs on this board. HTH  Good luck!!


    Yes, purchase (or have one built)

    Yes, I would like to purchase one or if it is more cost effective to have on built I would like to do that. The platform that I use now is VERY expensive. If some knows of a company that can build one for me I would appreciate the info.


    also, do you have to purchase your own pedal?
    xx
    wow, I had to purchase mine :(
    /
    Where did you purchase your software and

    Where did you purchase Medbrain from? Tks. nm
    nm
    please dont tell me you that you were told to purchase that yourself too :(

    You have to purchase a different "program" for job placement?

    I purchase insurance independently so
    nm
    You say "No one would have told you to purchase that." sm.
    Did it ever occur to you that maybe the person at Keystrokes DID tell her that and that they DID make a mistake.
    My children are insured by their father and I purchase my

    insurance.  For vacations, I work an extra day a week for a twice a month for a couple months going into the month of my vacation.  As for holidays, I usually work them.  I look at it as being blessed enough to have a job at home where I can be with my girls and so if my usual days off happen to fall on the holiday, I usually volunteer to work 1/2 day, usually in the evening of the holiday so I can have the day with my girls and I work after they are in bed.  Hope this helps!


    You can purchase that insurance online. Just go to their website. You sm
    do not need to be in a group.
    You want to PURCHASE your own platform? Platforms are very expensive so

    $1000 toward the purchase of a new hybrid vehicle
    It's a nice way for TT to encourage environmental consciousness. My husband and I are in need of a new car. Haven't made a decision yet, but we're definitely considering taking TT up on this offer.
    Version 8 stinks. I would not do purchase anything to work for a company.
    don't do it, unless they are paying you 12 cpl to edit the VR.

    Tell them you can not afford it with the line rate they pay...he he!

    Happy New Year!!
    Does anyone speak legalese? From the MDI/Transcend purchase contract- sm

    I found this.  Now it sounds to me like that means they possibly have a list of people they plan to let go? And they can let go the rest at any time?   There was prior mention of MDI supplying T with a list of people making over $35,000.  Would they be the peope on Schedule 6.11?  The entire document is here:  http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/858452/000119312509183673/dex20.htm


    Section 6.11 Employees.


    (a) Purchaser shall continue the services of the employees of the Company following the Closing except for the individuals listed on Schedule 6.11 hereof who shall be terminated at or shortly following the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any employee of the Company, any other employee or legal representatives or beneficiaries of any thereof any rights or remedies, including any rights to employment or continued employment for any specified period of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, or shall cause the employment status of any employee to be other than terminable at will.


    (b) Purchaser covenants and agrees that in connection with any decision concerning a Company employee’s eligibility for participation and vesting in any employee welfare benefit plan, employee pension benefit plan, or employee fringe benefit arrangement established or maintained by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will recognize such employee’s cumulative prior service with the Company.


    PT with dial up

    I work for Transolutions, and the do use dial-up and I believe they do PT also.  I am FT, so I am not sure about PT.  Also, Spheris also uses dial-up and has PT and also supplies all the equipment you need.


     


     


    Don't know about dial-up
    They do pay for spaces, and pay a higher rate than anyone else I'v encountered. They employ all ICs only - but make sure to keep after them. I've accepted a position, have filled out my paperwork but now am getting nervous because I can't get anyone to call me back or respond to my e-mails.
    I don't know about dial-up. (sm)
    I kind of think you'd need DSL. If you can get it, it'd probably be worth it. You're working real-time online like with lots of other companies. It'll help your production.

    Spaces - I think so, but I'm not sure.

    IC only.
    I believe they still are on dial up sm

    Last I knew they paid for your second phone line.


    Dial-up
    DRC, Transolutions, and Spheris.  I don't know if I would recommend working in Spheris' system with dialup though - that's the main reason I quit there.
    Dial-up
    Medquist allows dial-up as I worked for them and used dialup before. I believe also Precyse Solutions also allows dial-up.
    Dial-up
    Yes, Precyse does allow dial-up.
    Dial up
    I do not have access to high speed internet.  I am looking for part time work that can be done on dial up.  I have 15 years experience and am home based for our local hospital.  Does anyone have any suggestions on companies that still use dial up, and hire part time?  Thanks in advance.
    Dial up
    Might also want to try FutureNet or QT Medical as they offer dial-up options as well.
    Dial up
    A new job was just posted on the job seekers board under Cardiology-Kelly. Drop a resume with a note that you're strictly dial up. I posted this job, and we can use dial-up or high speed.
    Dial-up?-sm

    Does anyone still work using a dial-up connection?  We are facing a move in a couple of weeks and it has come to my attention that I may not be able to get high-speed in our new home.  My only options may be dial-up or satellite through Wild Blue.  Are their companies out there that are still using dial-up?  I really love the company I am working for as an employee right now but I would go back to IC if I had to.  Thanks for your help!


    dial-up
    I have used dial-up and also used internet for MDI-Florida.
    Very good company. Pay 10 cpl for Meditech experience.
    If you are on dial-up with TT...

    and willing to answer a couple of questions, could you e-mail me?? thanks!


    dial up
    I also would be interested in finding out any companies that allow dial-up. Thanks!
    Dial-Up and VR
    You really need something high speed to work with the VR.
    KS and dial-up

    If you have DSL or cable, you'll be okay at KS.  If you only have access to dial-up, they have almost no accounts.  I know most people have DSL/cable, but there are still a few of us that can't get it.  I've been with KS for about 6 months and will now have to look for another job because of this.


    dial-up only
    I was just hired by KS in December and was told that dial-up would be okay.
    I do not think dial up
    or satellite can be used.
    Are there any companies out there that still use dial up?

    I only have dial up and there are no plans to add DSL in the area that I live in for at least another year possibly two.  Satellite is out of the question due to too many trees around. I live in the woods and believe me its hard to get a clear view on the satellite dish we have now. 


    If anyone knows of a company that still uses dial up please let me know. 


     


    Thanks


     


     


     


    any companies that use dial-up?
    Are there any companies that you can still use dial-up on?  There is NO high-speed in my area.  I also would like to find a foot pedal that I can rent, or buy realy cheap.  PLEASE reply.
    Did you find somewhere better with dial-up?

    It's getting harder to find places who will work with dialup or else it's so slow you can't make it worthwhile.


    I have dial up, you download? how
    Where are you downloading from and to where, hardrive.  I would like to do this also, as I don't have to can get DSL . Can reply here or email.
    Is Transolutions on dial-up?
    Just curious.  Have to decide between them and Webmedx and not sure which one to choose - maybe it will help to know this.
    Dial Up Companies?

    Please give me some companies that I can do QA or edit for?  thanks, I don't have broadband right now. 


    Dial-up ok but must be 32 or 34.0 kbps-nm
    x
    I have dial-up as well and is the only thing we can get currently....sm

    I work for MQ and have done so for almost 7 years now w/o any of the problems that others so often complain about here.  I think it depends on the office you get.  A close friend also worked for them and the office she had was horrible.  Anyway, they accept dial-up, I believe Medware does, but not positive, and Spheris too. 


    A suggestion would be to call the local phone company wherever it is you are moving to and ask them if they have plans to get DSL in that area.  I called ours recently and was told they plan to extend out and have DSL available to at least 80% of their customers by the end of this year.  So, you may not be w/o it for all that long. HTH.  Good luck.


    companies using dial up?
    Even in this day and age of advanced technology I cannot get DSL, high speed internet, or satellite where I live.  Do you know of any companies that still use dial up??? TIA
    can still get job w/Medquist with dial-up...n/m

    Allegiant and Dial-Up???
    While we're on the subject does anyone know if Allegiant and their EMDAT program are compatible with dial-up? I feel your pain, allinadayswork, as I'm in the same boat. However, I suppose we could get satellite if we could afford it but I see a lot of companies specify no satellite also. Living in the sticks does have its drawbacks! As for MedQuist, when I was supposed to switch over to their DocQScribe program the techies couldn't get it to work and they finally figured out that my dial-up connection was too slow. So not all dial-ups are created equal! MY ISP provider's recommendation was move to town. Good luck to you!
    Companies that allow dial-up

    Need info on Transolutions and any companies that allow dial-up, 19 years experience, looking for new job.  Does Transolutions dock pay for mistakes?


    Does TTS hire MT/VR with dial up?
    Just curious
