I worked with them for about 10 years.  I drove by the other day, and they were obviously out of business.  Just curious as to the circumstances.  If anyone could e-mail me, I would really appreciate it. 


Thanks

Does anyone have any information on Medi-Script out of Austell, GA?
*
Mediscript

Any info on Mediscript, unsure where they are located, just took a test from them.  Checked archives and found very little, any info would be appreciated. 


mediscript
do not know which Mediscript, just took their test, and that is what it said at the top of the test.  Anything about the company, is it a honest reputable company that treats his MTs good?  I guess if you do not know which Mediscript, you will not be able to answer my question.  Can you tell me this, it is a national?
Mediscript
I checked the archives and did not find any information that was helpful, what do you know or tell me how to find out.
Mediscript
They offered me 9 cents per gross line. They do not offer direct deposit, you invoice on the 15 and 30, unsure when you get paid, I think 20 days after you invoice. The platform is WP 7 or higher. I took their test, passed it, was hired, but was unable to get any help with start up. They sent me a packet of instructions and said to go for it. I am not computer savy, so this did not work for me, it might for you though. Gross line pay is the best in the business, I think it would be worth giving it a try. Just my opinion.

Mediscript employee
I work for Mediscript and could not be happier. They leave you alone as long as you do what you commit to them for. The only downfall is a C-phone, but for the pay I can over look that!!!!

Info on Mediscript

Can anyone give me some information about Mediscript out of Naples, FLA? 


Which mediscript?? What are your specific questions? nm

All I can find in archives about Mediscript is sm

"Bad news!" and nothing else.  That doesn't tell me or anyone else anything useful.  I don't care if someone says "bad news!" but could they please back it up with some real info?  Preferably first-hand experiences would be nice, thank you.


Does anyone out there have any info about Mediscript?  I know they pay by the gross line, but how much?  Do they offer direct deposit?  When are the pay days?  How's the platform?  Any info appreciated.  I'd like to gather some information first before I take any tests or talk to them so I can determine if it's worth going through all that for a job that might not be a fit for me.


Anybody have any experience with Mediscript, Texas? nm

Read in the archives that Mediscript (FL) is "bad news" Why?

There was a lot of trouble with this company earlier this year - see archives -- Mediscript

How did you find out about them?


 


I didn't ask about Medscribe, I asked about Mediscript in FLA. No direct deposit w/this co.

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys.  I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information.  Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them?    Thanks very much!!!
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.

I did that, but nothing happened

I have a scroll mouse, but font is still same size.  Appreicate the tip, though...never knew that one. 


Thanks for posting!


What had happened was, sm
I've known Linda for over a decade now. In the timeline of the article, which is during the time that I've known her, I've only known of Executive Secretarial Services. In many other interviews and articles, she's plainly stated about changing her goals and target market, hence the name change to ExecuScribe to reflect that she's not just a secretarial service. The ESS name can't attract MT clients, and she wanted to open herself up to that market. The articles and a conversation we had both reflect the same.

I think that all of this is a tragedy. This happened 15 years ago and for the RBJ to be rehashing all of this doesn't serve any constructive purpose whatsoever. What it will do is hurt Linda, her clients, her staff, and the community, which could very well trickle down to the MTSOs in our area. She paid her dues and it should have been left alone. The RBJ staff writer was wreckless and irresponsible in bringing this to the forefront. What I can't figure out is how all of this started in the first place, i.e., what made RBJ investigate into their past?

Rochester is dying and has been for years. We have no major or attractive employers anymore except for SMH and the non-degreed positions there are only a tad over minimum wage. Over half of the city population lives in poverty-like conditions and we have one of the highest murder rates in the country. On a national level, she did bring Rochester some recognition and she also provided local jobs.

Again, I think all of this is a mess. You have to admit that Linda's a tough one though. In the article, it stated that she made an "impassioned plea," but it was only ONCE and that was it. She didn't grovel. She's kept her self-respect intact. She's smart and she's also very savvy. She'll pick herself up and dust herself off and go about business. What she did build is very impressive, as have all local MTSOs, which I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past decade.

A lot of people are going to get hurt from this because of careless journalism. The mighty always fall the hardest. I don't think that any of us should rejoice in another's hardship.
this happened at my last job
People were staying up all night working,by the time 8 a.m. rolled around...no work...soooo frustrating for those of us who sleep at night. Had to get away from that, plus the boss had favorites that got all the cake work and the rest of us were stuck struggling with whattever was left over...definitely not an even distribution of work. I asked my boss about it, but of course, I was being crazy....
happens to all... happened to me
But i only was for 2 weeks.
Oh no! Not you too me2!! IT happened to me, too:)
Sorry, but that struck me as funny saying you2 me 2, happened to me2.
Something that has happened to me lately at MDI
I will dial in and get the no more reports message.  A few minutes later I will dial in and start getting reports from the night before or whatever, dictated obviously before the last time I dialed in.  My question is - where were those reports the first time I dialed in?  Do they transfer them off of the hospital system onto MDI's system and maybe they weren't transferred yet?  Just puzzles me when that happens and it's happened several times lately.
I'm sorry this happened to you. If it were me, sm

I would resign to keep my record clean, and try like heck to get another job but this time in a hospital or clinic and get my production skills up.  If you try and get another job at home (I'm under the assumption you might be a newbie), this could happen again.   You don't need that. 


As for unemployment payments, I doubt you could get them if you resigned.  You'd be better off getting another job right away. 


Good luck!  I hope things work out for you. 


 


It has happened to me too

Sort of the same thing happened to me as well, right before Christmas, different company though.  I had been told prior by someone that my accuracy was at 99%; only to be told by someone different that I was being fired because my quality had gone down over the last few pay periods, but what is odd, is I never got any type of feedback.


I am still relatively new to this profession--having only graduated in June of 2005.  I had also contacted my supervisor and asked how well I was doing prior to the firing, only to be told that I was doing great, and to keep up the good work. Then be e-mailed--not called--but e-mailed stating that I had been terminated effective immediately. That was the worst time to be fired from a job because NO ONE hires right before Christmas, and I am still trying to find another place.


Good luck to you


This happened to me.

Go to a different branch of your bank and this time DON'T tell them that you had your passcode with the card.  They can look up where the money was withdrawn and they will reimburse you (my bank did).  Then go to the police and they will send an officer with you to go to the bank wherever the money was withdrawn.  A report will be made out and they will check the surveillance tape to see who it was, as long as that ATM has cameras. 


Good luck to you!  Dont' give up on this.    


This is not what happened to me (sm)
Maybe it depends on the account, but I log off whenever I want a break.  I don't have to stay on the entire 8 hours straight.  Demographics didn't have to be filled in.  They were already there.  The only time I have to type anything on demographics is when there is a change, or I have to do a seach for the correct admission. 
What ever happened to DSG? Are they still around?

This also happened to me at my last job...sm
Even when I said something...i was crazy and when my line count dropped they wondered why. They actually accused me of not working up to my potential in order to get benefits for my disabled son, well not acused, asked me if that was what was up. No, it wasn't....I left shortly after that last insult.

If I were you...I would most definitely say something and keep saying something or ask for a difficultly premium or something. It is unfair in my opinion.
happened to me, too. .. (sm)
only they disquised it as a new revised pay scale. Lots of patient demos and flipping thru schedules and faxes, low work volume... I would say look elsewhere, too.
Happened to me twice.

I submitted resume to one company, they didn't have any openings, so they sent it to another company that they knew had openings.  Guess they were buddies.  Another time, they saw my resume on monster.com


 


It happened to me also (twice)
Don't feel left out. This happened to me twice by Zylomed in Florida and Alex Medical Transcription in Virginia. They offered me a position, told me they would send me my papers, and I never received anything. I sent several e-mails and no reply. That just tells you how disrespectful a company can be when they treat employees or future employees this way. This must be a signal that the company is not worth our time and there are other better companies out there. Good luck!
Yes -just happened again to me.
Really tired of it. They should spread them around. Why should every day be hard for me because they cannot do the tough people???
This happened to me once and this is what I did..sm
I was somewhere for only 6 weeks, it took them 5 wks (3 wks overdue) just to get first paycheck, I was begging for work, so just say see ya.  The gave me promises that were never fulfilled.  I was hired under false pretences and felt I owed them nothing.  They couldn't even give me work and when they did, couldn't even pay on time.  I already had another job lined up that needed me immediately that I could devote 40 hours + a week to, so why waste 2 wks?  I just decided I wouldn't ever put them on a resume or use them as a reference.  So I just sent them an email and asked them if they could possibly send me my last paycheck and the actually did.  If they are breaking contract you don't owe them anything especially if you are an IC.  JMO.
This has happened to me (sm)

Most of the time I just ignore what I see.  However, if it is a blatant error, as you describe, I would either report it to the QA people or Support.  How did you know, though, that it was never sent to QA for blanks?  Is it possible that she sent them and they couldn't fill in either?  As far as format goes, though, I would say that's a biggie.  Maybe it is something that MT was doing and has since stopped.  I would report it, though.  No one will be mad at you for doing it - as I said, I have done it for big things and actually was told at one time when I started that I should.


Happened to me also
I have 10+ years' experience in orthopedics and they told me that I did not pass either. They would not show me my test results either, but just told me that I did not pass the test. Company sounds strange in my opinion.
Never happened to me
And, I'm sure that the people in ops don't know how many hours everyone has worked during the week so far.  We aren't required to clock in and clock out, per se.  We do have a timesheet but obviously it's not always current for everyone, and the people in ops don't have access to that anyway as far as I know.  Many people don't work their full hours when they are supposed to and have time to make up from time to time.  If an account is behind, I think that ops is asked to call and see if they can get help.  All you have to do is say I've already worked my full hours for the week.  Not a problem. 
what happened with the lay off?
I was hired and they couldnt keep everyone in work.  Did they fix this.  I quit as I was told I would have to scramble for line counts. 
sorry it happened the same day
telling you if it continues this way they will issue corrective action? Sorry about your mom.
What ever happened to....(sm)
*It's the thought that counts*? I appreciate being remembered and it was certainly a more useful MT Week gift than some I've received -- or not received -- from some other MTSOs over the years.

What I REALLY wanted, though, was an Acusis logo tee-shirt like the CEO was wearing in the web conference.
So sorry that happened to you. nm
