California Transcription Unlimited...any recent info??

Searched archives but all I saw was from 2005.  Anything recent??


Anyone have any recent OSI information?

Are benefits as good as they sound?  How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology?  How are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Any recent information on
TIA
Any recent information on Transtech??
Just offered a postition with them on new account going live in a couple of weeks.  I was just wondering how they were to work for, can you make your lines, etc.  Thanks. 
Any recent information on Transcript USA? -sm

I noticed in past posts they said they hound you when you're not working. But they're advertising a flexible schedule right now.  Is that something new?


Any problems with getting paid?  Is the pay decent?


Do they have decent accounts or are they for the most part extremely difficult?


Is their system efficient?  I'm so tired of wasting so much time keeping logs of everything and having to type patients' names and data that I don't get paid for. 


Is the sound quality good?


Is it really all American?


Any recent information on Oracle? Thanks. nm

eMTS ? Any recent information? sm
Does anyone have any recent information about eMTS?  I see that they say they were started on the ideas of the old MRC (which used to be quite good, I understand).  There were only 21 archive entries and really only 1 person responding.  I would love to hear the good, bad, or ugly about this company?  Pay, work load, ESLs?  QA?  Thank you so much for any information anyone can provide!!!!
Acusis. Could use recent information.

Here are 9 questions about Acusis.  Any or all answers would be so helpful.



  1. What platform do they use?  User Friendly? 

  2. Benefits.  Which health insurance carrier?  PPO?  HMO? 

  3. What is the deductible amount (employee coverage, no family). 

  4. Accounts:  High ESL?  Enough work?  Back up accounts?   

  5. QA:  Too much?  Too little?  Constructive or too critical? 

  6. Email communication timely? 

  7. Is hiring process drawn out?

  8. Do they provided equipment.  Does it arrive in timely fashion?  Any out-of-pocket expenses?

  9. Pay on time?  Direct deposit?  Any line rate information?  Minimum line requirement?

 


Any fairly recent Med-Scribe information?

I don't see anything more recent than 6/05 in the archives.  I think this one is in Floriday, but don't know for sure.  Web site sounds great.

I'd like to know also. Anyone out there know about Teletype?

Teletype?
Maybe Intellitype out of California? I do know they hire ICs only so no benefits. I am sure others can give you more info though.

Teletype
Teletype...out of California? I used to work there YEARS ago...if it is the same one...who knows. If it is, I never got paid, and I started out with a lot of work, but then the work gradually dwindled down to nothing. Word had it that the owner was phony..he actually wasn't running a business at all - it was all just a set up to get people's personal information, i.e. SSN, etc. Good luck with that one, and I hope we are not talking about the same place for your sake.
re: teletype
There is a company called Intellitype at Intellitype.com
Anybody heard of Teletype, Inc.?

Can't find them listed anywhere on the internet - yet they are supposed to be an 18 year-old company.  TIA.


Info on Teletype, Inc out of CA????

Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm

Thanks! and not in California
Thanks for the good wishes.  We are not in California-we live in Nevada.  Like I said, I've known her for years and she's always known I was a transcriptionist--thank goodness!  In light of the decline in pay we've seen in recent years, this was just a great offer! 
DRC, California
Any info. on Digital Records Corp. in California?
DRC California
Have been there almost 2 years. They have been good to me. Work is good - less ESL's than most. Benefits could use a little work, but better than some companies. Insurance is expensive for dependents. Hope this helps.
WPU in California
Has anyone ever heard of WPU out of California?  Thida Win is in charge.  Thanks.
MTs from California

My company won't hire from California either.  They said they can't afford to pay what the California MTs want because of their higher cost of living.  All CA resumes go in the trash unread.  Just passing on what I heard.


TTD, INC in California
Anyone have any info on this company? Looks like the pay is pretty low, but other than that, anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad?  TIA
You should be in California--
the entire state is being overrun with people who cannot speak English.
DRC was in California... sm
Acusis is in India and headquartered in Philly. DRC was in California. Acusis bought DRC, and so then DRC became Acusis US.

If someone slips up and says DRC, they really mean Acusis US, not Acusis India.

Confused yet???


Any info on DRC out of California? sm
Line rate, platform, insurance?  Any information appreciated.
Anyone know anything about AssistMed in California? TIA

Chronicle California

Anyone work for them? How is/was it?  Thanks in advance.


 


Seem like they were in California but I'm not sure if that is where all of their accounts are.
I think for the most part people have said good things about them. I talked to one person who had worked there a few years and said there seemed to be a high turnover but no more than anywhere else. She also said a lot of days it was really tough to get the line count as some of the accounts were harder than others. That is all I know and they really don't sound any different than any other company out there. You never know until you try.
California Transcription
I was also wondering the ease of the equipment that the company uses and degree of ESL dictators. I tried to research this company, and past comments have stated that they pay once a month.
Outsourcing in California
Not true - I live in California and many transcription companies outsource offshore. In fact, it's a trend that is increasing.
Snobbing California

OSi shouldn't be posting it as a United States: Nationwide position if they won't consider hiring from California.  It wastes people's time applying and waiting for a response when they have no intention of using people from here.  Chumps.


Are you a California resident?

If so, if a company ran a credit check without your permission they could be liable for 10,000 in damages.  CA Civil Code §1785.20.5, 1786.12 explain and §1786.50 explains damages.


If you are not CA resident, Google your state civil codes credit reporting employment, etc.  I would also send a certified letter to the credit bureau who ran your report and tell them this was an unathorized inquiry and you would like it removed.


roi - pretty sure california

FutureNet in California sm
Does anyone know if the lady that runs this is the same one who used to be with the old company YOG?
Chronicle in California
Anybody heard of this company?  How is their platform?  Do they pay on time?  How is QA?  TIA
Can't live on $35K in California either.

J&J transcription-California
Anybody got any pros/cons re: these people?
In California hospitals
things are especially tense. The unemployment rate in California is 12.5% and the state is ready to go bankrupt. I am just ashamed and disgusted that such a beautiful state has gone the way it has.
Please DO NOT mislead the MTs in California
You might want to look this up before you resume doing business in California:

http://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm#How%20Do%20I%20File%20a%20WARN%20Notice

It's my belief that California also has bumping rights based on Seniority. As I understand, if the person(s) who laid off people for no reason at all (which violates the covenant of good faith and fair dealing under California law and for termination in violation of California's public policy which defeat the at-will employment in California) lacks seniority at the company, then he/she can be bumped off by someone with higher seniority than him/her and with equal or more qualifications than him/her at the company.

In such a case, that person(s) who started the unfair layoffs would just be waking up a sleeping enemy!



You need that money in California
Fresno area's not quite as bad, but in the SF suburbs, it's $1000/month for a 600 square foot studio. Even at 10 cents a line, you've got to do a lot of lines to handle that. It's one the biggest reason I moved to the midwest.
What you get here compared to California
Had my SIL visit last year from Sacramento, CA and she could not believe what we paid for our home. She estimated my home and the homes around in the $500,000 range and up, which was more than most the homes here. I watch the home shows and shocked at what some people settle for when looking for a home there. They have nothing to show for say a home $200,000 or more. I used to live in Atlanta but moved to a more rural area where you can get a show piece for not that much.
California Transcription
Just wanted to warn anybody who may consider taking a position with this company.  The pay is never on time.  I'm still waiting to get paid for work done in JULY and today is September 27.  And to anyone who starts to accuse me of libel--this is the truth and I can prove it.  I can also prove that when asked about my paycheck, they lied to me and said it was in the mail, and it was not.  And yes, I have reported it to authorities.  Just wanted to warn anyone else who might get taken in by them. . . hope I can help someone else avoid the same pitfalls I've fallen into with these people (the Bartons). 
Florida or California? Looks like there are several.
