Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
Radiology accounts
I haven't had any problems with my line counts at all. Doing as well or better than I did with Medquist now that I'm used to the doctors.
Do they have Radiology accounts?
If so, do you have contact information for them. TIA
can anyone tell me about the radiology accounts...

under DeVenture and T-C Transcription, and who would be the better of the 2?  I don't need benes---main concern is having enough work (at least majority of the time).  Also the platform and pay.  TY


Does anyone know if Amphion has Radiology accounts? sm
I heard there was a clinic side... does that mean specialty accounts?
Worst radiology accounts I ever had - sm
There was more changing screens, adding patient demographics, and typing in yet another screen, that it took longer to set up the report than to type it....awful accounts and sound quality. I hated it.
The two radiology accounts I was hired for
at Transtech immediately disappeared after much difficulty getting set up. Not blaming TT per se but not giving them high marks, either. Would suggest you ask questions to determine if any Radiology position is dependable - stay away from the Powerscribe jobs.

Just my experience so take the above with a grain of salt - others may have all positives..
Does Axolotl have ER or Radiology accounts? (sm)
Flexible schedules?  I saw the insurance info about them posted below and it sounds like a good company.  TIA. 
Does Transtech have ER or Radiology accounts? TIA (nm)

Are the Insight Radiology accounts outsourced
Lately NO work in there!
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
Wmx has acute, clinic, radiology and ER accounts. nm
.
The best place for radiology is by far Keystrokes. There have a lot of rad accounts and sm
I know of a few more that are starting this week and the next few weeks. This would be a good time to check with them. I have worked pretty much everywhere before KS. I have been with them for 2 years now and have steady work, good pay and love my account! My backup accounts are good too but I never have time to work on them.
Lots of work on radiology accounts
And whew, are my hands tired....but I made 5th tier the first week and the top bonus tier this week,
That is only for ortho and clinic, not HIM and radiology and only certain accounts. sm
I am Mon-Fri. I have not worked a weekend in 3 years with the exception of one Saturday because I took off on Monday and switched with someone.
I love Webchart! I do not know of anyone with radiology accounts on it. sm
Can you share?
Information on Keystrokes Radiology Accounts

I would like to hear from anyone who WORKS at Keystrokes doing their radiology accounts and how it is going for them; i.e. pay, enough work, do you get paid per line/per report.  Thanks so much! 


I have worked for them for 4 years. There are always new radiology accounts. sm
They have grown a lot since I started and radiology seems to be what they grow the most in. I know that this month alone, 3 different radiology accounts have started and from what I hear, all are pretty good.
Is it easy to get line counts on Precyse radiology accounts?? sm

anyone using dial up with radiology accts, are you getting good line counts?  i've done a search on archives and reading info about the company.  anyone else radiology-wise care to share their experience?


thanks!


I work on acute care accounts, so I can't speak for the radiology side. (SM)
The work does look like it's beginning to pick up though for acute care.
You might be right bout that.
I have been unhappy here for awhile now, hoping it will end. Maybe I'm just burned out and need a vacation.
Sorry bout the confusion -- DSG-- nm

How bout those Cubs?
x
that's what I am talkinga bout, let the sm
newbies do it, etc. etc. Everybody should be doing it! Its part of the doggone job! I too have worked when my kids were in the hopsital. I had one with chronic asthma in the hospital every two months for five years. Had to work, didn't have a choice. Need to get a new profession taht is not medical. The MTSOs don't owe you anything as far as accommodating your schedule with new equipment, etc. If you want to work this is the way it is. If not, then don't. Its your choice. Its not going to change. Believe me I don't like it either, but I have to have a paycheck so its this or train for something else.
bout a year and a half ago
been awhile.
How bout taking it to YOU TUBE?
Now THAT would likely get you a response quick!
How bout something like USAType or TransUSA?
xx
Well, how bout all of us that worked under these conditions
IC and asked to work a schedule and it is not in the contract we signed who have left these companies now report them to the IRS?  I think we would be helping out MTs in the future when some of these companies don't seem to want to play fairly.  I worked under these conditions (IC with a strict schedule) 2 years ago and did it cuz I needed the job.  Ain't there anymore so think I will report them now and maybe this will let the MTSO deal with the ole IRS.  They know they are not complying and most companies know they can get around paying overtime too because of the way we are paid.  Some have gotten caught on that one but not enough.  Its just not right or fair and they keep doing it don't care.  We need to take a stand and be treated more fairly as MTs.  I got nothin to lose reporting my previous company to the IRS and am gonna do it. 
I am no longer gonna say nutin' bout them.

As a nod to show my displeasure in certain actions I have witnessed, I will no longer say nutin' about them.  It is just a place for me to earn a paycheck now and certainly no sense of pride is held by me any longer.  I know I am also being watched here as well and refuse to change my handle to anon or anything gay like that. 


Shame, shame, shame and they know why. 


If all true, I forecast a bout of burnout in the near
xx
Sorry bout last post, Guess I will slow down.

The beginning just doesn't even make sense.  Meant to go back and delete and proof - sorry.  That darn post reply button was just too handy;-)  Back to work gals. 


Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation.  Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime.  Not kidding either.   Might enjoy socializing a bit again too. 
there are a couple of recent posts on the main board, bout halfway down...
Also check the archives, you could do much better for yourself...
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
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!
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm

Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts?  What platforms do they use?  Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators?  Thanks in advance
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm

Radiology.
I don't know about that particular company, but $1.25 per report is average - I'm paid $1.25 for all reports other than CTs and MRIs, which pay $2.25 per report...
mdi radiology
Weekends and Fridays are always short-staffed..but you will account hop like crazy...expect it, and you may or may not have enough to keep you busy. It's the slow time of year right now. Hope all goes well, but don't expect much.
MDI-FL RADIOLOGY - sm
MDI-FL advertizing for radiology positions  - what a farce. We sit here and wait for work every day with not enough to go around.  What will new employees type????? I'm absolutely dumbfounded over those ads...can't believe it.  Come join us and babysit your PC ...just like they do at Transcend!!!
Radiology
Can you type on all the platforms?  If so, then, by all means contact me at deb.hull@medicaldictation.com or contact the supervisor of radiology and discuss with her.  Otherwise, ads are not placed if we have people who can type them.  Sorry if you were confused on this issue.  The object is to STAFF accounts, not over-staff.  I hope this helps to clarify.
