COBB
I took the test too and thought it was ridiculous. They told me to come back in 6 months, which I never did.
cobb
thanks.  I very much appreciate it.   for now I'm looking for parttime to supplement my full time.  Maybe I should look into it and see if anything has changed!
cobb transcription
They are a good company, good dictators, and Carole, the owner is wonderful.
Cobb experience
I concur - very good (non-national) company to work for as an IC.  Pay was decent, always on time, and owner friendly and professional to work with.  The only reason I left was for a career change; otherwise, I would have stayed there as long as possible. 
cobb transcription
any info on Cobb in kennesaw.  I thought I saw something mentioned once but cannot find anything here on the boards.  Thanks in advance!!
Any new info on Cobb Transcription? sm

They are hiring IC's for VR editing and also for transcription.  I am thinking of giving my hands a rest and doing editing.


Info is appreciated!


Cobb or *CMT* company info, anyone?
x
I sympathize with you, but did you bother to contact Cobb and talk to them about it?
y
Any info on these companies? Fenton, TRX, Metro (in Georgia), Cobb, etc

Comprehensive Healthcare Service, Keystrokes, MDI-MD, and TSSC.  Would appreciate the following info.


Good dictation quality?


Steady work?


What are the work types?


Good platform?


Pay rate?


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?


Do you have a flexible schedule?


Weekend work mandatory?


Employee or IC?


Benefits?


Low or high volume ESLs?


Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?


Dialup accepted?


 


I work for MDI-MD and have worked part-time for Cobb in the past. sm

It has been about 3 years or so since I worked for Cobb Transcription in Georgia (very nice woman, by the way), so my info may be old, but I'll try to help.


Good dictation quality?


Yes for both MDI-MD and Cobb



 


Steady work?


MDI:  For the most part, yes.  There have been a few times, but you usually have enough secondary and tertiary accounts to make it through the dry times.


Cobb:  I was doing clinic work -- do not recall any times without work.



 


What are the work types?


MDI-MD has a few radiology and clinic accounts (I think), but probably the majority of the accounts are acute care.


Cobb may have hospital accounts, but all I did with them was clinic work.


Good platform?


MDI uses Bayscribe -- very easy to use.


Cobb used Word.


Pay rate?


MDI pays better than any other company I have encountered.


Cobb's pay rate is kinda low, as I recall, and it was based on being paid by the character.


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?


Yes for MDI ... as I mentioned above, Cobb paid by the character.


Do you have a flexible schedule?


Yes to both.  MDI gives you a 24-hour turnaround time to do your work, and I think the same was true with Cobb.


Weekend work mandatory?


MDI:  You are asked to work 2 weekends a month, I think.  I pretty much work every weekend, so not sure about the official rules.


Cobb:  No.


Employee or IC?


MDI:  Statutory employee (they take out FICA, nothing else, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax)


Cobb:  Was IC only


Benefits?


No for both


Low or high volume ESLs?


Probably vaies with the account -- probably average with MDI.


I don't recall any ESLs at Cobb.


Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?


MDI:  You have a primary account and usually a secondary account -- pretty much the same docs.


Cobb:  Yes.


Dialup accepted?


Yes to both, as far as I know.  I have had cable so long, I do not recall.


 


 


Good luck with your job search.  Hope this helps.   If you have an offer from MDI, I'd take it -- it is a great place to work!

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

MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?

Anyone with information on this company? 


Looking for information on QED. sm
I have never heard of them before.  I read some old archives but am interested in hearing from any recent employees.  I've heard the pay is low.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. 
Information
Does anyone know anything about a company called Archivus?
SM for information.
An expander is a program in which you put in shortcuts to "expand" to longer words, sentences, and phrases. For example, typing "forex" produces "for example." They can be used for phrases like
tp for the patient
lt for left
rt for right
egdx for esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Shorthand and Instant Text are 2 of the most popular.

Does anyone have any information
TIA
Thank you for the information!
That is helpful.
Thanks for the information.

You were very kind to respond.


No, but if this were information
 that was really any of your business, you wouldn't have to ask.

Does anyone have any information
I have asked a few times and can find nothing when I do a search on them? TIA
A little information for you

I am not the original person who answered your post, but I also work for Amphion.  When you are first hired with them, they will basically ask you what hours you plan on working.  They are hours of your choosing, but they just ask that you try to stay working that schedule, so that they can provide adequate coverage on their accounts.  They are, however, very accommodating should you need to change your schedule.  They hire both part-time and full-time employee status.  Very nice folks to work for!  Good luck to you. 


Sorry, don't have information but would like to know
Thanks.
I like to come here for information..., sm

but by the time you wade through all the hateful remarks, it just makes you sick!  I am very glad for the time spent on getting rid of some of the junk around here. 


Information
Can you email me with more information?  Where are you located?  How many MTs work for you currently?  Thanks!
I'd appreciate any information on any of these, too
--but I can say I did consider FastChart a few years ago; my decision was between them and my current employer, for whom I work as an employee and not as an IC, as I would have with FastChart.

What killed my consideration of FastChart was the poor line rate; I believe it was 0.065/line at the time, and that, coupled with IC status and filing my own taxes, etc., just didn't beat EDiX's offer of 0.07/line plus benefits.

I'm most curious about Oracle and Proscript and appreciate the PS feedback already provided. At this point, I'll take any advice anyone offers, though. I just don't think the future at my present company is looking so bright.

Thanks, all.
There is quite a bit of information in the
archives on Spheris. I worked there and have posted much about them (positive experience). I even posted a lengthy comparison between Spheris and MedQuist.

If you will do a search, you will find plenty of information.


Thanks for the information!

Information (SM)
If you are referring to the parent company of MedQuist, you need to take this discussion to the MQ board.

ALL discussions about MQ are to be on that particular board.

I am letting your post stand for now to see if you will clarify if there is a private MTSO called Phillips MT that you are inquiring about.

Thanks for the information. sm
Everything that I heard about them was good, until I took the job offer, of course!
My information to do with what I want. sm
I agree it is crass to ask someone what they make.  I do not agree that someone has the right to tell my personal information cannot be shared with whomever I chose to share it with. 
Thanks for the information. - sm
I guess this should have been titled autotext or word Expander question! They (Futurenet) told me they have a Word Expander program, but I'm guessing they meant the autotext feature in MS Word.
Here is the information you are looking for - sm

including a FAQ list about the purchase.
More information please! sm
Do you mind sharing some additional information such as FT/PT, minimum line requirements, set schedules/shifts, QA support, TAT?   It would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
Any other information.... sm
such as PT/FT, TAT, type of schedule, minimum lines, weekend requirement, pools or own accounts, etc.  Thanks! 
More information

11p - 7 a + $3/h


This is in addition to your line rate.


Where do you get your information?
Please let me know where you heard this because I have worked for Precyse for quite awhile, continue to have the same accounts (probably because they have a lot of ESLs and nobody else wants them).  I do know they have some accounts and MTs testing it out, but are quick to tell us that with the problems all the other companies are having, they are quite hesitant about how efficient and productive it would be. 
More information please!

OSi information
I recently had a phone interview with this company, and was very happy with the interview.  Currently I am waiting for a confirmation on the job offer.  Anybody with some information, good or bad, I would be very happy to hear anything.  At this point I feel like I am getting the run around, like they are too busy to get back to me.
Need any information on D&L ..nm
