Which mediscript?? What are your specific questions? nm

answers to your specific questions
12 hour window - no, you give them your schedule of hours you want to work and if it works for them, they approve the schedule and you stick to it. However, they are flexible if things come up and you need to start an hour late or early - just let them know ahead of time. Also flexible for appointments or if you need to trade a day for the most part.

Expander Program is ShortHand for PC.

You would have to ask their IT guys about transfering your entries into their computer. I just sat my two PCs next to each other and created the entries on the SH on the work PC, only took an hour or so to do and well worth it.
Couple specific Encompass questions sm

Do they have a consistent workload?


Heavy ESL?


Their benefits package seems amazing, their requirements seem very well detailed and they seem very structured in general.  I like the black-and-whiteness of it. They seem to have their biz together.  Anyone that can verify?


Any loopholes on their behalf from anyone's experience, such as docking for errors, exreme nit-picking (although my accuracy is excellent thus far).  I'm hoping they're not a company that portrays themselves as reputable, family-oriented, professional, etc. and then harass and turn into monsters once you're on board.  Thanks!


Chickadee - More questions - if you don't mind
Do you have to look up doctor's addresses for carbon copies? Are you obligated to a certain amount of work? How many lines per week are available to you? Does having to pay your own taxes eat up more of your profit?
A couple of questions, if you don't mind...

1.  Do they have a production incentive/bonus? 


2.  Where I am right now, if I work even a minute over my 8-hour shift, I have to e-mail my supervisor explaining why.  Is KS that strict, or do they allow you to go over a little?  I don't even care if they pay OT or not, just want to finish my job without worrying about the time.  (Sorry, threw in a little vent there.)


Thank you!


 


Would you mind answering a few more questions?

Did you switch from straight transcription to VR, or start with VR? 


How long had you done straight transcription and what was your lph speed then?


How long have you been doing VR?


How long did it take you to get up to the speed where you are now?


Thanks in advance!


TJ would you mind e-mailing me I have a few questions I am confused about. I think you can from my f

A few questions on Axolotl if someone wouldn't mind...sm
Do they provide you with a computer?

What are their benefits (insurance/PTO) tied to? i.e., 40 hours a week, 12,000 lines a pay period, or both, etc. If things are slow and there is no work do you have to make it up in order to keep your insurance? If it remains slow and you can't get your lines in, do you lose your insurance?

Do they hire only acute care or multispecialty clinic, or do they have *specialty* accounts, i.e., ortho, op notes, cardio, psych, etc.

Do you get one primary and a backup(s), or several primaries in a grouping?

Thanks a lot for any info... I'd love to work for a good company again some day and Axolotl looks like a good place to start looking!

KS MT, could I email you with some questions?

Please email me with any questions that you have. sm
I work as an Editor for them and will be happy to help if I can.
I do - email me with questions. nm

Used to...email me if you have questions
nm.
Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm
nm
I think you would probably need to call or email them for all these questions. (sm)
Maybe it depends on each individual situation.  Don't know.  Send them an email with exactly what you posted here, and see what they say!
Would someone who works at Amphion, please email me? I have questions nm

Would a current TransHealth MT (preferably a happy one LOL) pls email me to answer some questions?
email above
sorry dont give out my email address but happy to answer questions here

Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.


Sorry, I should have been more specific. sm

Mostly, just the usual -- are you happy there?  Would you recommend it to your friends?  Pay on time?  Work flow consistent? 



Thanks!


More specific please- MS in NJ or FL? nm
.
Can you be more specific on what you'd like to know? sm
Good benefits (PTO, pd holidays, life, medical, dental insurance); good amount of work available (except this week has been slow on some accounts); they provide equipment (you do pay deposit, returned at time of leaving); direct deposit, always on time pay; easy to use platform (but you need high speed Internet); good training and I LOVE my manager (responsive to emails and phone calls, doesn't micromanage me).

Weak spot would be tech support (depends who you get).
Can you be more specific? nm


Were they at all specific about SM

what they meant when they said typing skills?  That is so vague. 


You need to be more specific, such as ....

Employee status or IC?


Benefits?


Work type?


Set schedule?


 


Okay, but that's not very specific (sm)
I guess I should have asked for all opinions happy and otherwise. If you work for Webmedx, would you mind telling what has been the problem?
Can you be more specific?
Turns out they are not hiring for a month or two anyway!
Sorry, I should have been more specific.sm
MDI MTs will be getting a call in October/November and will find out then what the offer is.
TT..please be more specific about platform..sm
You say you like the co...please tell me what kind of platform you work on and are you able to increase your line count using the platform easily? Good incentives?
Yes, they do. Maybe your specific experience
does not match up with the positions they have available right now?


Can you be more specific? This doesn't help at all. nm
nm
I don't know about these specific companies
Ablescribe in the mid-TN region and they are hiring. Pretty simple work, a nursing home same 4 or 5 docs and a lot of the same patients daily too. My sis works there and loves it.

I am from TN too!

ablescribe.com, I believe.
could you be more specific on what you love so much about it?
nm
Ask about specific companies. (NM)
Goldbird

Could the replies be more specific
I am considering them also and would like more substantial information than vague statements.  That is no help at all.  Please if anybody has any experience with them or works for them, please I would also like to know how they are.
Could you be a little more specific? Your post
completely... too many metaphors. Not a lot has happened at my end, but who's to say other people have heard other things. What finally prompted you to jump ship, other than the obvious India-based thing?
This is when you turn over specific
examples to your supervisor and get some answers. I would keep a record of every inconsistency and send them in.
Cannot name specific accounts.

specific answers ..
hi ..

1. Does the ShortHand Expander work on DocQScribe?

not sure .. pretty sure it does.

2. How easy is the platform to learn?

very ... just use keyboard commands instead of mouse

3. How easy is the platform to navigate around when you are in a report -- and are there a lot of steps to saving, sending, etc?

I find it easy and there are not a lot of steps ..

4. Can you look up prior patient reports?

no

5. Can you make your own templates?

You have to put them in the expander and it depends on company policy; they do not want cut and paste as it can affect formatting on client end

6. How is the spellchecker?

okay

7. Can a fast typist make good line counts?

yes .. friend does over 300

8. Is the line count mechanism accurate?

mine has been when I checked it

From my experience, it is a great system.

I too lost production but I started using it but that has been true for me with any windows-based program I have worked on ..
give me back my DOS and WP .. .that is when I used to make good money .. LOL

good luck to you .. you will be fine

PS - However, The speech recognition of MQ (ASR) is terrible unless you have really great dictators.

you dont need your specific

numbers to do your FAFSA.  There's a question on the renewal that asks if you've filed your taxes yet, you just say no.


I've not gotten my W2 from TT, and I don't see ANY excuse for that.


specific company name?
