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.

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.

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?
MQ IS LOUSY

I only worked there for the first two years of my medical transcription career and then got out because of how cheep they are and because they never had any work.  I went an entire summer (four months) only making a total of $600.  That was when I decided that I was never going to put myself in that type of financial hardship again. 


Believe it or not, there are a lot of companies out there that DO pay well, that DO have work and that DO know who you are.  Just keep looking around.  Don't settle for MQ or MDI.  Neither one of them are any good.  I should know, I worked for both.


Happy Elsewhere Now!



p.s.  My recommendation is to work for a couple of different companies.  Don't put all of your eggs in one basket.  This will help guarantee yourself an income and some sanity too!


Any comments on CortMedical?

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.


And by the way, they are not lousy. They are a good
company. No company is perfect but this one certainly is not the bottom of the barrel.
They have a lousy reputation
I'm so sorry for those affected by this. I don't think I have ever seen a positive post about that company in the several years I have been coming to this board.
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?

Please email the Administrator regarding CorTMedical

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

If you like getting docked pay for lousy dictators, go for it. nm

Why would you limit yourself to two lousy companies? There are better. nm

Lousy companies pay QA by line.
Reputable, better companies pay QA by hour. If offered line pay for QA, just say NO and look elsewhere or do MT instead. You're much better off and it will be a help to your fellow QA people. We all have to stick together on this and say NO to line pay for QA. I think confusion here is the words editing versus QA. Many places now call VR MTs editors. Not the same thing as QA. For companies that still call QA people editors, they need to change that title because QA people are SO not merely editors. ;)
Your lousy attitude is the joke!

No, it is 3 lousy days PTO for 1st year. nm

Lousy excuse for not paying...
To me that equates to nonpayment for services rendered.
6 cpl is a LOUSY WAGE, no matter what
Anyone who works for such an insulting amount of money is just perpetuating the problem. What happens if your employer loses your cushy account, you get switched to something tougher, and you have to actually start typing full lines (few to no macros), researching information, and having to actually EARN that 6 cpl? That's when you have to hope and pray that hubby gets a raise.
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.   
Pay is lousy and you have to go in-office to train for way too long!
This was a while back so not sure if they have become more with it by now.  Good luck!
Lousy tech support. rude QA

lousy mgmt/response, unprofessional.

II feel for you. I've had my share of lousy
dictators.  A flat rate sure would help, but  I still don't want to do dictators like that all day long. 
Is lousy, 4-5.5 cpl. I make 7 cpl at the company I work for now.
FN's platform really slows you down for editing as well.
I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide

I have worked there for a few years now. Not a lousy company but a very good one. sm
Perhaps you did not meet their standards or perhaps they did not meet yours, but there is no reason for you to be on here bashing those of us that love working for KS. If you have specifics, please share. I will:

Good pay, on time every time.

Good account with plenty of work.

Good benefits.

Managers that are human and know that the employees are too.

Owners who care about the company and employees. They are involved but less and less with employees as they grow. Instead, they have hired managers that are great so that they can concentrate on sales and customers.

Growing company with no lost accounts, which is more than most can say.

Opportunity for advancement.

IT helpful and caring, especially since the major change in that area a few months ago.

I love my job and I'm not in Illinois either; I'm in Florida.
bad insurance, expensive & lousy line count
When Transform (in Wyo) started they used MDintouch which was great but with Vscript I spent more time waiting for new reports to open (because it would have to open Word EVERY SINGLE TIME instead of Word just staying open, and for them to finish sending. long reports were OK & you could make SOME lines/$$ but after 6 years I made less & less AND LESS until I quit because I would OWE on payday - yes, I was paying over $900 for really lousy insurance for hubby & I. I'm no slouch - being doing it for about 25 yr when I quit & typed about 110 wpm. So take no time to pound out a report but tooooo much time wasted waiting on things to grind up & download. HAS to be better offers...
You'd play lousy poker - obvious bluffer.

Don't have to have the last word to have the last laugh, and I'm having a good one.


Such an easy mark. . . such a short fuse.  WOO!  I am laughing out loud. 


For a lousy 3cpl, I wouldn't even bother to read
Gawwwwd!
They use DocQScribe software, like MQ, that a lot of us say eats your lines and gives a lousy line
