In Reply to: Any MDI-IT employees out there? sm - MQMT
I currently work for 2 different divisions of MD-IT, and they are both kind of slow right now. I have only worked for them for a few months.

Well, it all depends on the division you work for too. nm
It all depends on which division you work for...
I worked for several during my time there, and there were all different.
That means they do outsource. One division is here and one division overseas,
which division? sm
Each one is different.
what division did you work at? nm
Can I ask which division you work for? sm
I may also be in the process of moving on after the nasty email I and all the other MTs received from the director.
MD-IT Louisville Division
If you currently work for this division, please email me. I'd like to talk to other MTs about the current situation there. Thanks!
Ahh, yes, I worked for that division too...
they were not the greatest.
That's true. Sorry you had a bad experience. My division...sm
is in TX and it has been pretty smooth up until this point.
SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
I work with MD-IT Louisville Division, very happy-sm
I started working for MD-IT in October and it has been a fabulous fit for me! I work in the Louisville Division, there are several others. The work is steady, sometimes overwhelming, but manageable, at least in my accounts. They try not to overstaff the accounts. MD-IT share their transcriptionists across the board and if your primary and secondary run out, they can find you work elsewhere rather quickly. The people are wonderful to work with and friendly. Pay is average, but it is fine for me. There is very little ESL, and what ESL there is is fairly easy to understand. Your coordinator is just an IM message or a phone call away and very helpful. I hope this helps.
To what office/division to you file the report?
If it is, in fact, anonymous, can you tell me how to do this? I'm currently working for a company that has me WAY outside the bounds of IC and I'm about a hair away from completely fed up.
I looked around the IRS website for a bit, but didn't see where to do this.
Help?
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?
Any information on this company is greatly appreciated.

Major attitude issue at office payroll division...nm
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
Well, it depends on what you need and are looking for - sm
do you want employee status, need benefits, need equipment supplied by company or do you want IC status, your own schedule, no benefits, and a good line rate?
There are many good companies out there, and even Transcend is a good company in some MTs eyes.
What are you looking for?
4.65 to 5.10 cpl. Depends on whether you
get 55% or 60% of your base salary. You will starve to death only doing 1100 lines a day. That would be $51.15 to $56.10 a day,.
Depends.
I've talked with MTs who have said that MQ dumped them immediately upon giving notice, and they're anxious about getting on somewhere else immediately. I've talked to others who have had MQ offer them the moon and all nearby planets, with interest, to stay. I'm not talking 2 or 3 people here, but dozens. I'm not sure what the motivating factor is behind their decisions, because some of the best MTs I've seen have been ousted immediately. Go figure. Might depend on your office and the work load.
Depends
one person will tell you one thing, the next person will tell you another. I think the company I work for is THE best but then you might not agree. You kinda just have to find what works for YOU and you won't really know that until you try it.
Depends on what day it is.
I use a lot of "normals" and shortcuts. I make at least $20 per hour, that is on a regular day. I have made as much as $65 an hour. I get $15 an hour for PTO.
Well, depends
My requirement used to be 4000 lines (Foxboro office). Now I am at Columbus office and requirement is 4000+ lines, but also must work 20 hours a week, so that would put me at over 10000 lines a payperiod.
also depends
it also depends on the accounts, most of the accounts for one small MTSO do not have paragraphs, straight typing thru the complete report.
I'm sure that depends on what one...
has to offer, as it does with most companies. :)
Depends..
on if you have write offs or not. I was an IC for years and then went outside the home to work. When coming back to home base, I found it not to be an advantage anymore because I had no write offs and didn't want to open up Pandora's box with itemizing again.
It just depends..
It depends on what state you are in and how many employees are working in that state to determine if you are eligible for health benefits. With my state, there are only about 2 employees that work for FutureNet, so I am not eligible for health benefits. As for incentives, they have great incentives. You get 15% bonus every weekend, and 17% and 20% holiday bonuses. So they are fair with what they offer. Their pay is good; better than other places that I know of. And, again, they are really great to work for. You may be in a state that has several employees with them. I would just ask them. They are quick to tell you what you need to know. Hope this helps.
I think it depends.....
If you have a wide-open screen, like MS Word, or WordPerfect, that allows you to set formats, change fonts, etc. I think it will work. It is my understanding that I-chart is a series of different boxes on the screen in different locations, so you are very significantly limited in your text inputting. But then again, IT works with Meditech, should be able to work with I-Chart, shouldn't it?
Depends
Where did she go to school? I know a lot of companies that will hire newbies if they went to one of the big 3 schools.
Depends
I worked for them and they are great to work for but very picky. They would not pay for jobs under 98%. I would be interested to know what they are paying these days too.
Well, that depends on
your level of experience. If you are comfortable with your terminology it will obviously go faster. It is really hard to answer the question of how much time because each company might use a different amount of files and/or the files are of varied lengths. If I was testing, I wouldn't want to waste more than an hour myself, but that is just my opinion.
Depends
If you are unit based (lines) it is 120 days. If hourly, 90 days. Costs $90 Medical, 12.50 Dental, 3.85 for vision every pay period. I've had only office visits and have had no problems with it so far.
Depends
for QA or mt?
I believe they pay per line for mt
It depends...
I currently work for Precyse. So far it's been OK. I don't find them to be very flexible about the schedules. And now I'm a bit concerned reading another post here about being denied a schedule change. I'll be needing one in a few months. I'm expecting baby #3 and will need to go part time (also will need a few weeks to recover from birth). I've e-mailed my supervisor twice regarding this and she answered once asking what part time hours I was looking for. I answered her and nothing, so far. I understand prioritizing work matters, but I need to know what's going on before my water breaks. Fortunately that won't be for another 3 months or so.
I'm beginning to understand why so many people here were frustrated with the lack of communication. I guess I will be looking into part time IC work after my son is born.
I think it depends on how they have it set up...sm
I think it depends on how the system is set up. I have worked on several different systems and they determine the pitch and the margins they want for their reports.
Depends on ..
experience and/or ability. I mean if you get put on an account that's basically all American and beginner level, you wouldn't make as much as an account that's a mixture.
It depends
do you have enough work or are you just new to the account and haven't had the time to pick up speed, put in expanders, etc. I have worked for them for almost 9 months and it took some time to get enough work, but after about 2-3 months I was fine. They are the best place I have ever worked for, and I have been in the MT field for 35 years! Hope this helps.
It depends on what you are looking for.
If you only want a small amount of work, go for it, but don't believe what they promise. If you are looking for a good amount of work, then stay away, they don't have a lot and they don't care if you sit twiddling your thumbs waiting for work. Not to mention, the owner could use some people skills, and there was a lack of communication.
It Depends
Those contracts were signed with the original company, so it depends on the legal ramifications of the buy-out whether they're obligated to the new entity. Actually, such out-of-the-ashes entities are common in our industry. Someone is going to need us to do the work that the client doesn't want to send overseas.
that all depends, depends upon....sm
I don't think it's a lack of sense of humor. I think it's a sensitive joke and belongs on the comedy board, racist or not racist, that's where it belongs.
It also depends upon one's history, where they came from, what kind of struggle/oppression their own came from way-back-when, and I think we all need to be a bit more sensitive about things, especially in times of wars...there are about 32 wars ongoing right now all over the world. People merely need to be kinder.
And yeah, I am really annoyed about off-shoring, but that is not going to make me post anything as sensitive as a possibly racist joke, not even on the comedy board.
Please don't assume these people have no sense of humor - as I think you're way off-base on that. I think many of these people are very funny in other posts....quick-witted, funny, etc. Not that anyone cares, but my favorite show is one where no (insulting) stone is left unturned...Real Time with Bill Maher, and he insults everybody...is also VERY funny... And he's where HE belongs, on HBO. *LOL* Funniest thing though, I saw him live and two gentlemen sitting next to me were father-son staunch republicans. (That's even funnier to me!!! HAHAHAHA)
Have a nice day :)

IT DEPENDS WHERE YOU WORK, I hear through the grapevine that the pay is like 4 cpl for one of the nationals, but maybe thats just them. I would love the name of the company who pays 12 cpl...as I am experienced in escription!!!

Knowing me I would try it once and see how it goes. But if it takes you 3 hours to do 1 hour of audio -- that is about $17 an hour. And if you are like me and cannot stand blanks I listened, relistened, got a copy of the outline for the seminar, etc. Went online to see what they were talking about. Subject matter is of another concern. If it is a seminar or a speaker on something you have very little knowledge about -- i.e. building a microchip inside a computer, you will not know the lingo and will have to do a lot of research. There can be a lot of people talking over people, etc. Again, if you don't try it at least once you will probably always wonder. You could tell him that if you find that it takes you more than 2 hours to do one hour of audio or if it is poor quality, your price goes up. Be honest and nice but tell him you have to make at least $25 an hour of typing to make it worth your while. Every audio will probably be different and on a differnt subject and you won't be able to do any macros, use short cuts or anything, it will definiely be 100% typing. Good luck, let me know what you do -- again if you don't try at least once you will probably wonder if you passed up your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

If the demos are filled in for you, it isn't bad. Kind of a pain if you have to flag anything as you have to do that in a sep window. It requires its own special footpedal. If company provides, that isn't a bad deal, but i had to buy one and it took me forever to sell it when i left that company.
Depends.
It depends on what platform you are working on. I do eScription platforms, pay is 4/8.4, medical is after 90 days, full time is 11,000 lpw, insurance for me and two kids is $70 a week. Very nice and flexible. I work weekends by choice so I'm not sure what they require.
Depends
on what account your are working on insofar as platform...many different ones are used. For radiology they pay per report...not sure of the exact amount, though...seems as though it was $1.10/$1.25 per report.
Depends...
Some MTs average a high hourly rate. I make $16/hr as QA. Some make more than $20/hr and some make as little as $11/hr.
It Depends
Every employer is different. Some will have you transcribe if you run out of QA work. Usually, though, they will have you log out and check back later. I have never worked anyplace where they paid me when there was no work to do.
I think it depends....
from what I understand what account you are on. I've been with them for about six months. The work has been steady but comes in sporadically during the day on the account I'm on. So sometimes I am overwhelmed with work and other days it is slow. Plus, on my account we all get to help with the stat pool which can be a blessing or a curse depending on how many files you have in your own pool to get out in your TAT. I see people posting they make $30/hr. I'd LOVE to know how. I've been doing MT for 10 years, have all the expanders, macros, et al, and still manage to produce about 1500 lines a day.
Well it all depends.....
Like everywhere else, it depends on the accounts. There are some heavily with ESL and some with not so much.
Depends
on dictators and length of those reports!

I am an Editor for MTs from India and I find the MTs that I work with to be very good for the most part. I do find a couple of little things that are from English being their second language, but overall the Indian MTs that I work with are just as good as and in some cases better than US based MTs. I have worked with US MTs that refuse to listen to suggestions and in fact try to argue even though the correction can be seen in black and white in the AAMT BOS or in the doctors' instructions (which of course trumps the AAMT BOS considering the customer is ALWAYS right if you want to keep your docs). I find that the Indian MTs that I work with look at the corrections and make note of them because rarely do they make the same mistakes twice. So like anything in life there are good workers all over and there are lazy or incompetent workers all over US and India.
