In Reply to: How is it that in less than 1 year Medware goes from the best company to work for to the worst? - nm

They are a great company, everybody that I have ever associated with is very professional.  I always have work, direct deposit every other Friday is a HUGE plus from where I worked previously.  The healthcare plan is good and at $17/week it is affordable.  Medware has been, and still is, the best service I have ever worked for, hands down.  I can see why they received the employer of the year award----twice!

I have been with Medware for 2 years

They have been a good company to work for.  I like my account and the pay is direct deposit every other Friday.  That was the biggest thing for me, my previous service paid by check and it was always late.  I like my team leader and have steady work.  I also use their insurance, it is United and I have no problem finding a doctor in my area.  All said, I have enjoyed everyone at Medware and plan to stay with them.  Hope that helps, good luck to you.

They have been a good company to work for, I like their system and find it productive.  My team leader is very nice.  I was looking for something steady and a stable company and especially direct deposit.  Found it all with Medware.  Give them a call and ask questions yourself.
I have been with Medware for 2 years

They are very nice people.  From the time I started in training up to today I have no complaints.  The recruiter responded and answered my questions.  HR send me all of my paperwork and I received my equipment in 4 days.  They have a person who calls you and helps you get your software and pedal installed right the first time.  My trainer was professional and very helpful, providing samples and account specifics.  My pay arrives by direct deposit every Friday (big change from my past service).  I have an agreed upon shift that is best for me and best for my account.  They have asked for additional help the past few months and honestly, it's better to be busy than looking for work.  All in all I am happy and hope to stay with Medware for a long time so I can watch my Medware 401K grow.  Hope that helps, I know some do not like to commit to a certain shift but I have found them to be quite accomodating in that respect.

They are a very good company to work for.  I like my team leader, their system is easy to learn and productive.  I have the health insurance plan and found it to be more than adequate in my area, they use United Healthcare.  Always have work and always paid on time, every other Friday by direct deposit.  I plan to stay with Medware for a long time.  Hope that helps.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
I have the individual insurance and it is $17/week, sorry I can't help you with the family price.  Maybe just call the office.  I work 36 hours per week and get about 12000 lines in each pay, which is every other Friday.  I was looking for steady work, insurance and direct deposit.  Previously I was paid by mail, hated that.  I hope some of this helps, the people at Medware are very, very nice and I have been quite happy.  Good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
They are an excellent company.  Very good support, good accounts and the people their are really nice.  My insurance is $17/week, I have direct deposit and paid days off/sick time.  I am so happy I went with them.  It has been a pleasant 2 years.  Good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
They have a software system that is easy to use and also they now use EXText software too.  I have had plenty of work, my team leader is very nice and the healthcare insurance is affordable, $17 per week.  They use United Healthcare.  Direct deposit every other Friday is a big change from where I came from and the people at Medware really seem to care.  I have enjoyed working for them.  It is shift work but they are flexible and you can work with your team leader to get a schedule that fits.  Hope that helps, good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
I started 2 years ago at Medware and have been very happy.  My team leader is very supportive and there is always work.  The insurance (United Healthcare) is only $17 per week, and I needed some kind of coverage.  The plan is a good one and includes a prescription card.  Pay dates are every other Friday and it is direct deposit.  I also enjoy the paid vacation days now that I have my first year behind me.  They are a good service to work for, I have been quite happy.  Good luck to you.
2 years at Medware - love it

You stayed with Medware for 3 years and now you
state you didn't stay with them very long.  What is it?  I think we can all read between these lines, I know I can. 
Medware has been paying $14 for years, No cost of living increases there! nm

What line rate does Medware pay for 28 years experience but no CMT status for an employee, also
is the pay higher for IC?
Years ago I knew a completely blind lady who worked for Medware (nm)

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.

I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!

Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm

It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet
How to you spell

All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
Did MTfor 10 years; QA for 2 years and now
doing editing of speech/voice recognition.  I find all three to be very different.  MT you start with a blank page or a template, QA you have the whole document and you need to give a good quick read and check for correct name, MRN, formatting, and all blanks, etc., and if you know the MT you do not necessarily need to give the whole document voice to typed - editing is a whole 'nother thing.  From what I have seen so far - you have a document and you cannot count on anything being correct - you need to change almost everything in some cases - which is more difficult than a blank sheet as there is a lot of deleting and it is confusing.  It can be helpful because some of the medical words are in there and some of the drugs can be correct - and although I have found easier on the wrists some days - still very, very difficult.  You must match exactly voice to type because you cannot count on anything to be correct - JMHO
I think it just boils down to years and years of
If you kick a dog often enough, it's going to not only turn on you, but other dogs as well. Even though I made more money as an in-house MT, our managers were the worst. All greedy, self-serving women who lied, cheated, and made their way up the management ladder by stepping on those of us who worked under them. They created hostility, distrust and ill will in the office by pitting MT against MT (I suppose they figured it would keep the MT's from turning on THEM!), and the suspicion it bred created a hostile workplace like no other. I finally couldn't take it anymore and quit to work at home, for less than half the money. I'm lucky - I have an employer that at least treats me well, even though the pay stinks. But from what I've read here, that isn't the norm at all. So it's little wonder so many at-home MT's are ready to chew someone's head off. They're tired of being lied-to, cheated on line counts, disrespected, and at the same time expected to produce more and more work, with little to no mistakes. So it's little wonder we're all a mite cranky.
Some of us have been at MDI for years and years. Why should we have to start all the way at the bot

Does anyone have any comments on working for Medware?  Thanks!
Medware
Thanks for your input!! I'm job shopping and want to make a better decision this time.
Medware
Does anyone know what Medware is paying these days? They seem to have a lot of ads for help in transcription and for the Dictaphone platform.
medware pay

I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me.  They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp).  I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.


Medware for me
Love my account, direct deposit every 2 weeks and the insurance is affordable.  My supervisor is really cool and understanding, we get along great.  1 year and counting, hope for many more.  Good luck to you.
Medware
Hi! I just started with them last week and so far it has been really great. They are all really nice and I have had wonderful training. You get paid by the hour for the first 4 weeks so you have time to learn the system (which the system itself is excellent and extremely easy)Your rate is determined by experience so I don't know other than my own. I guess you have to ask them about the schedule, but mine is just what I need. The staff is very, very nice. I think you would really like it. If you will notice, there is tons of negative stuff about all the MT companies on this board, but Medware has a lot less negative than some of the others (I looked through it before I started.) I think you should try it.

Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.

Has anyone out there worked for Medware?  I have gotten a job offer from them and just wondered how they are to work for.  Thanks for any help
Medware which one?

Hi, am thinking about Medware.  How do you like it?  What is it really like.  Do they have a good training program.  I was very impressed with the marketeer.  He seemed very accommodating and willing to work with me.  Just wondering what the scoop is.  Thanks in advance
Medware
ty so much for your response. w/ so many companies out there unsure of what to do. I have been transcribing for 3 years and just getting my line count up. Plus being fairly new on the block was unsure whether I would fit in. Just how easy would it be for a fairly new comer to fit in. I need a little encouragement and a small amount of TLC, but just for a short time.
Medware
Does Medware pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
You probably should ask Medware
accurate rate. They are a very good company however. Good luck.
Medware pay
I had 16+ years experience and Medware paid me the same as a newbie because I didn't have my CMT, although I was considered a Level III transcriptionist.  Also, having your CMT, you are still maxed out on the pay.  I had heard that Medware wasn't really hiring anymore MT because they were outsourcing to India and they were only hiring editors or turning MTs within the company into editors.  At one time, they were a good company to work for.  I have been gone for a year so things may have changed.  This was just my experience with the pay scale. 
Medware
Medware is still hiring MTs. Only one area of the company deals with the Indian transcription. Everything else is still done by US transcriptionists. There are 6 levels of pay -- level I, II, and III for both certified and non-certified MTs. A recruiter could better give you an idea what those rates are.

... a happy MW employee
Medware
Looking for opinions on Medware from current employees. Can anyone tell me how many transcriptionists they have, are they flexible at all, do they offer part-time, positives and negatives? Most importantly, are you making any money with them? Thanks.
MedWare? Can anyone tell me anything?
I have been offered a position and am hesitant to take it, can anyone give me any insight?  Thanks for any info you can provide.
MedWare
They sound almost too good to be true! How many ESLs do you have to do, on average?
Medware
Does anyone have any info on the job posted today by Medware for MTs with ExText experience? Considering applying and am wondering if anyone who works for them part time can tell me if there is any flexibility with them, line rate range, pay for headers, spaces, etc., and can anyone "in the know" tell me what account this is starting up? Also some general info on the company - how many MTs they have, do they offer any benefits at all for part time? Thanks in advance!
Medware pay?
Anyone know approximately the starting pay at Medware for IC and employee?  Does anyone know if they are hiring for psychiatry or therapy accounts? 
Medware or OSI
Offered jobs by both, appreciate any help.
Medware or OSi
I worked for OSi for 2 yrs and recently left to join Medware. Medware is a better run company. Their people are more professional and knowledgeable. It is just a great place to work!!

There have been a lot of OSi people leave and go to Medware in the past month.
