I can't find anything on the web and know only that they type VA records.  Has anyone ever worked for them?  How are they to work for?  Do they hire IC/FT/PT/statutory?  How are the line counts, platform, etc?  Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA

A little info on Task Force Pro and America's Pride
I don't have any info on them from personal experience but did find this info on a search. I'm assuming I'm allowed to place these links.

VERY interesting article. Sounds America's Pride had a contract with Medquist who was accused of sending active and inactive veterans' info overseas to be transcribed. Don't know the outcome, but for your reading enjoyment:

If anyone is or has worked for them I would also be interesting in hearing about them.
America's Pride
Any feedback on America's Pride located in Virginia.  Good, bad, indifferent feedback appreciated.  Thanks.
It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.
You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense.  Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.

This company should be ashamed 1 cpl...we do live in America, right?
We are trying to live, right? and if it is Toth Transcription, from what I hear, it'd be next to impossible to get paid PERIOD..
Yes i have, they called me and gave me info nm

I have far too much pride in my work
to put my name/initials on a report that's not the best I can make it.

Now, that's not to say that occasional errors slip through. Of course they do. Not long ago, I e-mailed QA because I'd pulled up one of my own earlier jobs from the same day--and saw a big boo-boo in it where I had used the wrong expansion (mechanical valve instead of mechanical ventilation or something like that). The QA person alerted the client, pulled up the job, corrected the error, and sent the revised job back.

On this platform we cannot see other people's work; but when I was working locally, I would see crazy mistakes all the time in reports that came in from the hospital. Ironically, I couldn't get hired there myself because at the time, I had no acute care experience, only a mere 36 years of clinical....
There is a company called
in Texas that I would strongly recommend staying away from. I worked for this company for a little over a month but the platform made it way to hard to get any reports in. The pay was good but without reports, no $$$. Anyway, when speaking with these people I was told that they would pay for the return of the equipment if the position did not work out. When I decided to leave, I called and was instructed on how to return the equipment (foot pedal). Once doing this, I received a bill from Fed-Ex as now they are not going to pay for it. When I talked to them in June, I was told to fax them the bill and they would take care of it. Today, I received another bill from Fed-Ex. I'm going to pay this bill but I just wanted to let you all know how shady this company is.

When they are trying to suck you in they act all "Christian like" but when things don't work out the horns come out. Be careful!
Anyone know of a company called
Just Your Type Transcription out of Illinois?  Any opinions?
I called the company....sm
and the position has been filled.  I had applied for it as well. 
Have you called the company?
I am sure you are posting here as a last resort, but just checking to see if you did call them first. I do hope you get your check. Big or little does not matter.... every penny is important here, as I am sure it is for you, too.
Have you called the company? nm

There is a company called Documed, but I don't

I need some information on a company called
Astat, such as pay, platform, enough work, QA, loan PCs, etc.  TIA
its called the transcription company

don't know of any MT company called Medquest

Anyone know company called Palm-Med?

STAY AWAY!!! This company used to be called...

Quality Medical Transcription in Blue Springs, MO (which is not far from Pleasant Hill, MO), owned by the same contact person.  Not only do they offer ridiculous line rates (7 cpl w/o spaces IC status), when I worked with them my pay checks always bouced....that is after they would actually show up. 


Unless you are just absolutely desperate for work....I sincerely do not recommend working for this family. 


Also, check out the link below (same person/family)


Is there more than one company called TransTech? nm
 
Company called InScribe US

Does anyone know anything about a company called RC Transcription?
Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks
Also, if MTSOs want MTs who are loyal, hardworking, and take great pride in their jobs by truly ....
dedicating themselves to knowlegdge and producing correct, Grade A reports, then how about paying us as the highly-trained, skilled, hard-wokring, tecnical, workers we are....we are expected to always stay abreast of every medical procedure, drug, medical instrument, operatative procedure, and special procedures, in every specialty (especially for those of us doing acute care and surgical, also radiology/nuclear medicine), we must update references, computes, learn new platforms, train our ears to decipher the SLOPPIEST, LAZIEST, RUDEST dictating physicians, not to mention all the various dialects and accents from all over the world, have superior knowlegein grammar, punctuation, and style....there are highly-paid executives who cannot keep up with what we do, honestly. We have sold ourselves short for way too long, back when I first came home out of hospital, I was lucky to get 6.5cpl, back in 1994, doing all acute care, had 7 different hospitals, we were one of the first live systems. I was out of work, and after getting my associates, being a part of the AAMT (who never helped me personally), 28 years of in-house training, radiology, surgery, etc., it took me months to get someone to pay me what my knowlege/dedication/experience warranted, I still had MTSOs offering 6 and 7 cpl......what??? and I am an IC right now! I finally found an MTSO who is paying 12cpl, and I work my tail off for her, love the company, but I still believe by and large that we are being fed CRUMBS OFF THE TABLE. How do I know? I have a friend who has a company with 75 MTs, I see what she bills and what she pays, and I also know what other companies are making off our backs. Not all MTSOs, to be sure, but most. And remember MTSOs, a lot of us old-timers who were trained in hospital and college, are going to retire, if you want to attract really good young MTs for your company, you had better take a better look at your bottom line and what you are investing in...IMHO!

There used to be a company by that name in Independence, Missouri that was ran by Linda Hill.  Now I see it is a company that students of a community college in Kansas City do their internships at.
