CorTmedical MTs; Have any of you gotten your 1099 from CorTmedical for last year?
I know that a lot of us were burned last year by this company.  I am wondering if they are going to at least send the 1099 for what they should have paid us.  I am wondering if they do not send it, how am I going to claim what they did not pay me as a loss?  Thanks to all, hope everyone has found something better since that disaster.   
Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?

Anyone know anything about CorTmedical?

Karen: If you are a newbie and want some on the job experience try applying. If you want to know more about the company from people who work there, then leave a post or email me: jenpoole31@yahoo.com

Okay, once again: In response to the poster who knows absolutely nothing of CorT: The owner is not mean, she is absolutely awesome. The pay is low when you start as it is an internship. Once you get off qa then your pay goes UP to what most companies are now offering. I am QA for the company. We have some truly amazing newbies at this company. They work hard, learn very quickly, and are just absolutely excellent. Sure there's an issue with the company getting paid by the other company. That means CorT is paying us out-of-pocket at the moment. This issue is being worked on and I'm more than willing to stick it out while they do. They are wonderful. I've never been with another company that was so upfront about the problems they're being faced with. If you have never worked there, don't know anybody who does, then keep your mouth shut with your negative thoughts.

When people post about MQ, as tired as I am of hearing it, I don't go posting my two cents. Because I've not worked there. Obviously you've never worked at CorT either. Or you tried but failed the test. Whatever.
CorTMedical

I've spoken with several people that work for them and they're pretty happy there.


 


I think it was Etranz that had the funds problems.


CORTMEDICAL
they have blown me off for 3 months now and now all of a sudden I get an email saying they have proof of all the mistakes I was making (yeah right) and that I was being over paid anyway. I am going to file a Civil suit against them. I have every email they sent me and I still have the work that I did. They are liars and horrible people.

Has anyone ever heard of CorTMedical transcription in Ohio? I just found their website and have never heard of them nor can I find anything about them in the archives. If anyone knows anything about them I'd appreciate some info.


I would give the website address but don't know for sure if we are allowed to post that on here.  I only read and post on here sporadically. Thanks.


CorTMedical Pay
I got the impression from the website that they paid well, but like I said it was probably too good to be true..I would like the person who works there though to let us know about the pay there as well as bennies. 
CorTMedical
I would be very cautious about working for this company. I worked for them in the past and my paychecks were ALWAYS late. They also bounced a payroll check to me, which my bank charged me for. I was told by the owner that I would be reimbursed for their mistake. That was back in March. The owner told me that he mailed the check out several times, but I never recieved it. He finally said that he would overnight a check to me if I did not recieve it within 2 weeks. That was about 2 months ago, and needless to say, I never got paid. Also, communication is very poor. I found that trying to get an answer about anything usually took at least a day, if not 2.

CorTmedical??
Anyone know anything about them?
CortMedical: Pay is lousy. nm
:)
CorTmedical has been great to me.
I came into this company as a newbie in their internship program not long ago.   Their QA is wonderful and I have learned SO MUCH.  I came into the company during a financial hurdle that was no fault of theirs.  They have kept the employees informed and are caring and compassionate.  They are still having trouble, I hope it ends for them soon.  I believe they are good hearted bunch, hard working and well-meaning and I wish them the best.  If I never see a penny...I will still be pleased with my experience with them.  I have learned on the job and seen people at their best during the worst of times.  That says a lot for them, I believe.  I give them a thumbs up:)
CorTmedical Story

I know all of the facts around what happened with CorTmedical a few months ago. One of their clients did not pay them as scheduled and a few checks didnt clear because of this. It was a very unfortunate circumstance but the key principals and owners of that company paid back every cent plus any fees those employees suffered as promised. is was simply a bad time but everyone that i know that works for that company loves working for them. they are honest, compassionate and they treat there MTs and QA's extremely well. The are also growing very fast and are increasing they cpl rates to their workers by the month.


CorTmedical - Any info?
I am not sure about this company, anyone have any information?  Seems they are new. 
Happy with CorTmedical
Hi.  I started in CorT's internship program and they had great QA and support by IM any time you need it.  CorT had trouble early on when I started with them, because their client wasn't paying them.  They are a smaller MTSO and many of them don't pay if their client doesn't.  They got it straightened out and paid my back pay and have been on time since then.  They did quite a bit of hand-holding with me since I was new and were very kind and patient.  I was out of the internship within a couple of months. They seem to be a hard working bunch of people that really care about their employees.  They gave me a chance when no one else would and I hope to stay with them:)
CorTMedical location
I went back to the website and saw they were close to Dayton..but would still like to know about bennies and cpl (ballpark)
CorTmedical....What is the DEAL?

Do they even have MTs working for them anymore?  They do not pay their employees and they do not care.  They need to just shut down their business!  Anybody out there know what I can do about it?  I am going report them to the Better Business Bureau.


CortMedical Transcription, anyone have any info

Has anyone worked for or does work for CortMedical Transription.  Does anyone know anything about them and how they are to work for?  Please let me know. Thanks


CorTmedical ~ any recent info on them?

Sorry - that is CorTmedical. I just get all frazzled even typing it!

Has anyone who worked for CorTmedical in 2006 gotten their 1099 yet?
I know that a lot of us were burned last year by this company.  I am wondering if they are going to at least send the 1099 for what they should have paid us.  I am wondering if they do not send it, how am I going to claim what they did not pay me as a loss?  Thanks to all, hope everyone has found something better since that disaster.   
Any comments on DRC?
Ggood, bad, indifferent?  I'm thinking that being paid by the keystroke is not the way to go. Can you make any money that way?

Any comments about MDI-MD?
How is BayScribe? Do they offer clinic and radiology or just acute care? TIA
Does anyone have any comments on DRC? How
Good, bad, mediocre? Pay on time? Flexible?
Anyone here with OTI? comments??
Can anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for and if they run out of work frequently, etc?
comments
Pay is on time. Line counts are accurate. Account specifications are minimal. Account specifications are different for each account. Work is very feast or famine on most accounts. Minimal work, if any on weekends. No QA feedback, only minimal feedback from supervisor on occasion. General information about quality issues is inconsistent. The platform is simple (MQ's platform). Management is very unorganized. Quite a lot of poor dictators. Some lousy sound quality. Minimal ability to control speed on sound. Difficult to make respectable line counts per hour. Pay per line is reasonable. These are observations from multiple people working for DSG. Overall better than some companies. Benefit costs vary on your location if you elect to be an employee.
Comments re: MDI-MD anyone?

Are a Transcriptionist who has worked for MDI-MD?  Would you mind giving your 2 cents on your experience?  I'd appreciate any information.  NOTE:  No recruiters need reply to this!  Thanks so much.

I think if you have comments about it you should do this
Put it in the suggestion box. If you know what another company is offering, then let them know. There is no need to bring it here as this will not do any good. Take it to management where results can be possibly achieved.

Got pay direct deposited a day early because of the holiday. Got work through the holiday. Got updates regularly throughout the holiday on workload available. That's about all I need from a job.

Any others got comments on Diskriter. What equipment or what do you need to take the test?
Some comments....sm

This is definitely a wonderful company to work for, especially if you need benefits.  The supervisors are very nice and very helpful.


This company does have some absolutely terrible and horrendous ESLs, but on the other hand, you can send blanks to QA and are not penalized.  You do have to remember that if you send a report with a blank to QA, they analyze that report and it goes toward your QA score for the month, which they do on random reports and also, as above, any reports sent to QA for blanks or questions. 


Also if you are looking for flexibility, know that they are not very flexible with your schedule.  They want you to work the hours you committed to and not type outside your schedule very much.  They will, however, let you off for doctors appointments, etc.  If overtime is offered on your account, though, you will get lines-and-a-half.


One other thing is that they do expect you to do your committed lines for the day.  In other words, it does not seem like they will compromise this with a very good MT who has high 99s on QA scores but is just not as fast as she used to be.  Some places say if you are putting out very good quality work, they will allow you to do just under the required line count for the day or pay period.  Axolotl does not really hold to this idea.


Lastly, to add a cc to a report, you have to click on a separate toolbar button, and this is extremely slow to bring up the doctors' list to choose from.  This does affect your momentum, and some people have a wait literally of a few minutes for the lis to come up.


All in all, Axolotl is a good company.  Above are just a few things I feel might make a difference to someone considering them.


Comments to your comments

I don't understand why people come on here complaining because they have to produce 1200 lines a day when they new the minimum line requirement before accepting a position.  It sounds like they don't want to work their schedule that THEY MADE themselves and AGREED to work.  If you don't want a schedule, then work IC and receive no benefits for another company.


Axolotl does expect you to work the hours you SET when you accepted the position.  They are very flexible to work with if you need time off or to rearrange your schedule but to be late every day or quit early daily, no they are not flexible with that.  They have TAT agreements to reach and need people there when they say they are going to be.


As far as making line count, they do expect you to be able to reach 1200 lines a day but they also are very patient with new employees.  People they hire are told in the interview that they have to produce 1200 lines per day.  If someone cannot reach it, then they shouldn't take the job.  The platform is easy and you have a lot of resources given to you. 


As far as the ESLs, there is 1 account that is high ESL and they are horrible!!!  But this is 1 account out of how many acute care accounts??  If you are not hired to work that account, then you do not have hardly any ESL dictators.  If you were hired to do that account, then you were told up front that it was a high ESL account.


As far as the CC button, I believe it has been sent out in at least 2 e-mails that the next patch/upgrade that support is going to do, the CC button will be fixed.  Did you not receive this?  I never have to wait more than 30 to 45 seconds.  Is it a pain sometimes?  YES.  Has management acknowledged that this problem exists?  YES  Are they planning on fixing it?  YES


Other than a brief wait for the CC button, the system is not slow.  If you have to wait even 1 minute for the CC button, you still should be able to meet your productivity requirements.  Someone not working their schedule or meeting productivity is not an Axolotl problem, it is an EMPLOYEE PROBLEM.

Just a few comments - sm
First of all, I have been with the company for a long time and I have floated along with a lot of changes since starting with them. Some of the changes were very easy, some not so easy and maybe even a little painful at first.

I was leary about switching to VR but if I wanted to stay with my primary accounts, I had to give in and go with the flow once again. I'm glad I stuck it out because I love VR. The only problem is that I end up running out of work sometimes because I am faster now.

VR isn't going away. That's pretty clear. You either adapt or find another career. I made the choice to find a way to make it work in my favor.

ESL doctors aren't going away either. Same deal. We have to learn to figure them out or we won't have any work.

Lastly, I find it disturbing that you would name a client in a public forum. Most companies, including Transcend, discourage or even forbid naming of their clients for obvious reasons -- the competition is tough.

Whether or not you think the account is terrible, there are people working on that account who might really like it.

My primary account used to be the dreaded account but I personally loved that account and still do, years later. I have come to think of it as MY account and I would be furious if a competitor came along and snatched it from me.

In the future, I would advise that you use more discretion when discussing accounts.

Better yet, don't discuss them at all. You aren't the only one working those accounts. Some of us like them, appreciate a challenge, live up to the challenge, and we WANT the work.

Don't cut us off at the knees because you aren't happy.

Comments

LOL--Scribbles, I have to say thanks for the laugh!  According to others' comments, I should apparently be on some heavy medications for being so psycho!


I have to fess up; it is my help-wanted ad.  Apparently, trying to fill everyone in on the details makes me wayyyyy too difficult to work with?  In the past, I was tempted to apply for online positions, but I always felt they lacked in a lot of detail, which kept me from applying for the jobs.  I figured that if I supplied all of the details up front in my ad, then it would help to keep the same questions from being sent to me from people interested in the position.  Sheez, no matter what ya do, someone is going to find flaws in the plan.  Calgon take me awayyyy! 


Thank you for your comments!
They are much appreciated!
Can't add a lot to the other comments

except that when they say IC, they really do mean it.  I've been an IC other times where they wanted some ballpark shift hours, then called and bugged the crap out of me if I was late a few minutes logging on, or gave me grief if I asked ahead of time to to work other hours occasionally.  At one MTSO, even though I had prevoiusly scheduled time off, some attendance-taker would call demanding to know why I was not working, and this happened EVERY TIME I TOOK OFF! 


Naturally, you will find more work at certain times and on certain days, but you'll figure that out pretty quickly.  If you can be flexible, you will have more than enough work.  Have yet to seriously run out of work.  It may get thin once in a while but no hours or days of no work.  I think they are pretty efficient in their hiring practices, but they really do expect you to produce the number of lines you estimate on your schedule. 


MDI seems willing to pay for experience so don't be shy telling them what you want.  Good luck with your interview!


Thanks for your comments, yes this does help a lot.
I really want to stay loyal to TT, but a drastic reduction in pay, cut in half, etc. I can't afford that at all. I had 2 job offers from smaller companies which have no VR and I was going to stay at TT. But, as my DH said to me this afternoon what is loyalty? I can stay loyal to this company, but are they showing loyalty to me? This really is kind of sad to me. I thought I had found a home. But waking up, smelling the coffee, and briskly moving on before I cannot afford the coffee... thanks so kindly for your help!
Most of your comments are true; however (sm)

the comments I made were not due to bitterness.  I left on a good note not wanting to "burn the bridge" so to speak.  I make more money at my other IC jobs than with Transcend.  Each individual must choose which job works well for them.  It's nice you are happy and making a decent wage.  I wish you the best.


Anyone have any comments on Spheris?
:)
MEDWARE FL .. any comments?

I've seen in the archives comments that their platform is not well liked, other than that ... do they have lots of work?  is QA a mess?  will they allow overtime?  are benefits/PTO any good?


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks for your nice comments

Any comments on Medware?
They are advertising for ER MTS.  How is the pay scale and do they have incentive and shift differential?  I don't care about their being picked by AAMT because I don't feel AAMT always is looking out for the MT (supportive of outsourcing).  Are they decent to work for?
