set line rate, several variables involved, but most say it is very hard to get lines and pay is low.

Uh...your multiple posts in this thread SM

only show what a bitter person you are when you don't get your way.  Also, what is up with the SD I have seen in 2 posts now?  Is that your way of spelling said?



Multiple posts the last 2 weeks, just look below. nm
 
Because one person can have multiple negative posts
nm
Multiple posts everyweek about both. Just look down the page.
 
you can search previous posts, sm
no complaints here, but some people have had problems, work is there, pay is on time, they pay downtime if work does run out, insurance is good BCBS
If you check my previous posts...
I did explain my experience with them.
Previous posts were deleted (sm)
They were NOT talking about the resumes being fake.  Some earlier posts had said they would post some names of applicants for you to ask them what the name of their company was because they weren't revealing their identity.  They did list a few names but the post containing the names was soon deleted.  So, they were weren't meaning the resumes were fake, they meant that they had listed fake names.
Your previous posts with yelling(& in mind's eye

From previous posts and in my interviewing history,
I am not sure that is correct.  Some companies actually do just pay a certain amount per report for QA and it is very low and others pay just for the blank filled in.  Pathetic, ain't it. 
Look at previous posts here. It's said to be a terrible place to work! nm

Judging from previous posts they are a horrible company.
THey offshore big time.  If you'll search the archives you'll find lots on them. 
Haven't noticed any relation. Try and make contacts from previous posts to help weed out the

Multiple Accounts
Unfortunately, I think it is becoming more and more common. The company I am at did not start out this way, but I have really seen this change in the last 6 months. They have promised ridiculous turn-around times in order to compete, I assume, with offshoring and to accomplish this it seems to me they are overhiring to cover their bases.
Multiple accounts
I have 4 accounts (all high ESL) and do not mind it at all. The way I look at it, the more flexible you are, the more work you have. :)
I have multiple platforms
I have Emdat, ExText, and Bayscribe on my computer.  No problems here.  I think it just depends on your computer's processing speed and RAM
Multiple jobs
Same thing going on with supervisors - working on salaries, answering minimal or no email, unavailable, IMs set to busy or out. Yeh right sure their busy, busy trying to job juggle, and making otherwise available jobs unavailable. Here's my answer - Supervisor has minimum of 80 people to supervise and QA. Bet that'll keepem plenty busy with one job.
Multiple Requests
There were several paragraphs in the agreement that I agree with--don't talk bad about them to anyone, don't try to steal their clients, yada yada yada--and I agree with all that.  I just don't think it's right to ask me to find a new profession for the next 12 months.  Apparently it's legal, but that doesn't make it right.
LD really isn't an isssue and they have multiple
platforms, not just Meditech, but from what I understand KS itself doesn't have a platform, but you work directly in the hospital systems. 
multiple jobs

I am an independent contractor and currently work for five different practices.  I never feel overwhelmed as none of them are full time.  I also have 24 to 48 hour turnaround time because most are not urgent.  You just have to find docs who are flexible.


Good luck!

Multiple platforms
There are a few platforms depending on the account. However, of the accounts I've worked on, they all tap into your version of Word, so whatever Expander works there will work with TRX.
Yes, multiple times.
No response. 
There are multiple platforms
The platform depends on the account. Every account has a different platform.
one company or multiple?
I have one account that pays great and I am able to sustain high productivity.  I have a part-time position with another company that pays less and productivity is slower due to the large size of the account.  My dilemma is whether to keep all my eggs in one basket and just go for the easy money every month or struggle through the part-time hours with the other company just to keep diversified.  Anyone been in a similar situation?  Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks!
one company or multiple?

Are you asking if you should keep the PT job as backup?  If you are, I would say yes.  For years I've never had just one MT job, always a FT and at least 1 part time and this came in so handy with a recent unexpected department wide closure.  In this line of work, if you can't do without the pay, I would always have something going on the side just in case.  Unfortunately we just never know when a job is going to end or leave the country.  Good luck!~


Do you have just one main accounts or multiple. Thanks.
:
Softscript - multiple choice only, I believe.
xx
Multiple systems, several platforms, they
furnish software for all.
I would try a place where you can have multiple accounts.
Have clinic be your main but see if you can get an acute care as a backup to prove you can still do it. That was how I got into hospital work. I still try to do a mixture of both to keep it fresh in my mind.
Continued from above -- and yes I have multiple accounts...nm

multiple personalites of ex-boss?
There's no use being mean or arguing on this board about whether or not you can get unemployment. Call the unemployment office in your area and report back what you find out.

A friend recently received a letter from her MTSO stating your services are no longer needed. There was no discussion, no arguing. She was not eligible for unemployment in our state.
Right... I'm sure you would never pretend to be multiple posters.

Because unfortunately I think you ARE multiple personalities!  Really, Confucious say:  Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to post childish nonsense and remove all doubt!


The rest of the quote was that we have to do multiple...sm
specialties. It is entirely reasonable to think a multispecialty MT of 30 years would have a broader base of knowledge than a doctor fresh out of medical school.

An LPN and an RN cannot do surgery, either, yet for some reason you put them above a medical transcriptionist. As for a doctor, unless you are actually performing a surgery, your skill lies in your interpretation of signs, symptoms, lab tests, etc.

A medical Transcriptionist has to use this same thought process every day. How many times to look at the past medical history to figure out a medication or look at a lab value to differentiate a diagnosis?

I am afraid you sell MTs very short.
Does anybody have any info on the TTD, Inc on the job board multiple times?
  Cannot seem to find any info on them.  TYIA!
Ditto. No work here on multiple accounts. nm

Previous employee
The pay is HORRIBLE!!!!
previous message said, you have

to go their to train, etc.


I should have said, you have to go there to train, etc.  I think that is what the sheesh was about. 


 


I did for about a day at one of my previous jobs. sm
My employer insisted on having it installed even though I already had cable internet.  It was SO slow, unbelievably slow.  I had to wait for the typing to catch up.  If it's the only thing you can get, that's one thing -- but if you can get DSL or cable, don't do ISDN.  A couple girls at my previous job still have it out of necessity, but I hated it.
Previous employee
I did not like it at all. I did not like their supervisor. She was always on vacation taking cruises, etc. I do not like MT World software. I also do not like typing pools.
Previous employee!

Is there any possible way we can corresponsd via email?


This is exactly what a previous poster was
talking about.  These companies hold the contract over your head as use them as a scare tactic.  Most of us are doing this to make money to pay bills, help our kids, etc. and I'll be damned if they are going to dictate to me how much money I can make when an opportunity comes along to work part time with more money. 
Previous post
Attention to administrator..  Please remove my full name from the post I just put up.  It should only have the initials JMD rather than a full name
previous post
Thanks for the info. !
Did you have previous insurance before? sm
Maybe I am not understanding, but I just got Blue Cross and they tried the 12 month wait on me too and would not cover a scan.  When they found out I had no lapse in coverage with my previous insurance that I had before starting with them then they dropped the 12 month wait on me.  So I am wondering if you had insurance up until before you got Blue Cross and if this would apply to you.
Previous post

It is CMTI or Certified Medical Transcription Inc out of Florida  -- sorry I omitted, but was really tired last night due to the heat here.


And according to previous employees .... sm
That is if you are lucky enough to actually receive a pay check from the company for work completed. 
might as well stay at your previous job
I ran out of work on my third day here. I'm extremely disappointed. I left my last job due to lack of work, and then I come here with high hopes and poof - I run out of work. I may see about returning to my previous employer.
previous email
There was a previous email by the owner earlier this summer in which she said May was the lightest month of dictation in probably the history of the company. I'm assuming other months recently have been light, too (economy?, split contracts with another company?), but it would be appreciated to have that addressed directly.
Um, that's exactly what was said in the previous post. nm

I also work for Warminster. Thinking of trying to transfer out. It is now the NE and yes multiple
accounts all the time. Warminster has always done this and I hear the same for the NE so may be time to look at other MQ offices.
It is a matter of ethics. I have been offered multiple jobs the last
year and have turned them all down because they offshore.  I stayed where I am because they didn't offshore.  TAT was a problem and I was getting weary of having to work every weekend, even though I did my lines during the week and then some, but I have days where I'm short 300-400 lines.  Do you think they got qualified MTs by going to India?  I have done QA on a trial basis on offshore work and I have seen the quality that comes from there.  If they are going to have to do 100% QA, they can't they do a mentoring program or take a newbie fresh out of school?  I've quit at least one job (non-MT) due to the unethical practices of a company. 
Platform bad, toggling between multiple screens, never got feedback
