Any info on Diskriter? Other companies FT with bennies?

Posted By: Dubious MT on 2008-07-08
In Reply to:

I keep seeing jobs for home-based MTs with hospital benefits, employed by the hospital system in Florida, etc. I'd sure appreciate if anyone could provide info on this company. I've love to be in a work situation like this again, but know nothing about the company. I'm sick and tired of MQ. Need a FT situation with good benefits and MQs are so expensive and I think the out of pocket is ridiculous compared to what I've always had in the past. Thanks so much.

Any companies offer bennies for
nm
Best companies for radiology (pay, work, bennies)?
Any input appreciated - need to leave the convention center...
I'm not quite sure why people keep giving companies who don't pay bennies the nod. sm
I guess it's all relative.  A lot of MTs, because of health problems, cannot get benefits on their own.   There are enough good companies out there, who pay as much as futurenet, who DO pay benefits, thank God.  AND they have direct deposit as well, which is pretty important to some people.  Gosh, even the smallest services have direct deposit.  Not understandable in a company anymore that they don't provide it.  Glad you are happy, but there are better deals out there.
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?

Please!.   I am looking.    I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day.   I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!


Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


Any info on Diskriter?

 Is there lots of work?  How is QA?  Are you on a "time clock", where they monitor your computer?  How are benefits?   Thanks    


Info on Diskriter
I have been with Diskriter since January, I haven't had a problem with work and benefits are good, especially when I think of what I was paying with my last employer, Diskriter just switched to Highmark Blue Cross which I am happy about!
Diskriter info...sm
I left DR after 3 months.  Platform is not easy (CareFlow) and sound is not always good.  You have to look at so many screens before you type, and look up names, or correct the shell, or go to your email and download names and instructions in PDF format that you will find you type 50% of the time and waste the other 50% of your shift looking up stuff and doing you email.  I don't care which account you are on, when the Account Manager of one account puts out a call for help to meet her TurnAroundTime, you account manager will lend you out, because missing TAT costs the company and the Account Manager money.  I did as many as 4 account in one day, and 3 was not unheard of.  I mean, they put you on an account with no instructions and you only know its a new or different account when you get the job and start emailing for help.  The MT is the least important member of the team to Diskriter.  A SmartSource account is working for a hospital with Diskriter managing it for the Hospital.  I have not done this so can't say if it is good or not.  I will only work for an hourly wage from now on, I need to know that the bread I put on the table is based on my hard work and not the whims of the docs who dictate, cause when you work by the line, when the doc has a bad day, YOU HAVE A BAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!  No more of those for me...
Diskriter info sm

Diskriter does pay for down-time, just got an email today that confirmed it on our account because we got caught up for the first time in months and had about an hour with low work load - supervisor said document the time, if your schedule doesn't allow you to make it up, then put down-time on timesheet and it will be paid.  They pay down-time for meetings too.  Whoever posted that, obviously has never had down-time or they would know it is paid, why else would there be a slot on the timesheet to document it? DUH!


I have looked elsewhere and never gotten any better offers with other companies.  There is always work (except for 1 hour this morning on the account I'm, which was just weird).  As far as their offshoring, it is minimal, they don't deny it and it is at clients request who don't want to pay for our work, but it is all QAd by Diskriter's U.S. MTs.


They are hiring PT because we need people nights and weekends and most people don't want those hours and that's all they can find is PT help for those hours.  If they could have staffed it with full-time, we wouldn't need more people now would we. 


Some of you people just don't know what your talking about that post here.  If you think they sound good, go for it, we would love to have you.


Diskriter info
Thanks for all the information, but I didn't mean to get anyone upset.  I have made my decision anyway and I am starting soon with Diskriter soon.  I guess I figure things out with them as I good.  Thanks again.
DISKRITER.....ANY INFO???
I have an interview with them next week wanted to know if anyone has any opinions good or bad about them????  Thanks!!  :)
Diskriter...info please...sm
I am trying to decide whether to take a job with this Diskriter.  They have great benefits that I am looking for.  I have read both bad and good about them, but was looking for recent info on them.  If you could email me personally if you do not want to reply here I would greatly appreciate it.  I just want to know what I am getting into.  I know all companies have good and bad, but it is nice to know what to look out for and what questions to ask up front.  Thanks and hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Info on Webmedx and Diskriter please. sm
Would like to hear info on these 2 companies and it is always helpful to hear from current as well as former employees.  Thanks!!!

Seeking info on Diskriter's platform; ease of use, line counts,
xx
I appreciate info on different companies...

There HAS to be SOMETHING to what they say about these companies.  If not, then why so many unhappy MTs?  Like another poster stated, deleting the posts from this forum does not delete it from our memories, and someone will be back on here complaining about the same or new things as long as they are not being heard by the company.  If it bothers ____'s management team so much, then maybe they should listen to their MTs and treat them with the respect that they deserve.  These MTSOs wouldn't be anywhere without its MTs, so why not try and make them happy.  I am so glad we have a forum like this to share our good/bad experiences.  You know the MTSOs can't stand it because they cannot take complete advantage of us, which is what most of the companies I have worked for tried to do to their MTs---as long as they are making their money off the sweat of our backs.  It seems like KS can dish out the misery but can't take it when people start talking about it...just my opinion.  Keep talking and sharing experiences, good and bad.  Maybe this forum and others will force them to do right by us, especially regarding compensation.  We have to work together and try to make the MT profession better. 


KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO NO MATTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT!!!

Info on MT companies
I will be getting laid off in the very near future after 17 years as an in-house MT. We transcribed from tapes and so I do not have any experience working at home, using a wav pedal or software MT companies use. Are there any good companies willing to train in these areas? Can anyone give me information about Deventure, Precyse or MD-IT good or bad?
Need info on these companies please!

I have been offered jobs from these companies and I would really appreciate any input from those who work for them now, or have previously.  I am scared to death of not making the right choice here, and it is very important to me as I am a single person with no one to fall back on for income, I am what I am! 


The companies are:  Axolotl, Keystrokes, Diskriter and Focus.  Thank you SO much for any direction you can give me! :)


Any info on these companies?
Regarding pay, acute or clinic, bennies, flexibility, anything else you care to add. ExecuScribe, p.r.n. Transcription, Probity.

The archives are your friend for info on companies...

Don't know about bennies but I believe
employee line requirements are 6000 per pay period for part time and 11000 for full-time.

Also, it's spelled Chronicle Transcripts.

They seem to be a good, solid company to work for.
Pay and Bennies

This company is not on the upend pay scale as of yet seeing as how they charge the hospitals 11 cents per line, but they are consistent with work and have promised future raises as they become more established.  I started out in the apprentice program making 2 cents per line for <98% and 3 cents per line >98%.  Some on here scream about working for that low of pay but I just don't feel I'm deserving of regular pay until I have the experience.  After one month I was given a pay raise that brings me up to the regular pay status, so it was well worth it for me.  As for the bennies, I am part time so I can't help you there.  They have many different packages for the type of work and experience you have, so you would just have to submit your information to them to find out what they would offer.


 


I know many on this board have been burned by many a national, but I like CorT and the people who run it.  They are genuine and helpful.  We'll see where the future takes them.  I plan to be on board with them as they grow!


Pay and Bennies
Thanks for the info. Even though the pay sounds low I like how they actually give the raises and it sounds like you are appreciated for what you do and don't get lost in the shuffle. I've been with MQ for 7 years and have only had 1 raise in that time, and that took 1 year to actually happen from the time I started asking for it.  I don't mind MQ that much, it's just that my speciality is ERs and I get very little ER work these days. I also like the fact that CorT is in Ohio, just about an hour and 15 minutes from where I live. I'll check it out further. Thanks again for the info!
Bennies
Yeah well, having work to do is the name of the game. I paid for my benefits at MQ and didn't get anything but a crappy paycheck, went through a lot of my savings to boot. I pay my own hospitalization and I save my money for time off when I want it. Anyone who works for benefits pays for them eventually. Get smart and smell the coffee. And I make more per line than I did at MQ. So, your problem is????
BENNIES
Well, bless you my child for your good fortune. I make 11, I get about 125-150 in bonus money every two weeks because we have so much work, which is my mad money. I can sleep in if I want, but generally keep to my promised schedule. They know I produce, I get a GOOD tax break, and I woulnn't work it out any other way. To each his own.
Then no bennies for you! Be an IC.

bennies?
What kind of benefits does MDI-Maryland offer? What kind of transcription do they have - acute care? clinic notes? ER? And lastly, do they have line incentives and is there a cap on them? Very interested...
No bennies because
all MTs are IC/SE status. As far as I know, they have acute care and clinic, not sure about ER. No line incentives but I feel they pay very well. cpl range from 9-11, depending on the account and they pay spaces and punctuation. Software is nice to use, too. Hope this helps. Contact them and someone will respond very quickly. They are wonderful to talk to and will take all the time you need to explain and answer questions.
IC and bennies
Insurance...That is one of the reasons I went back in-house. I had been without health insurance for 3 years and at age 50, felt I was pushing my luck. It sucks, but now I have health insurance, PTO, AND.......a 403B. If I could have those bennies and still work from home, I would be delirious.

Good luck.
