Do you mind if I email you some more specific questions?
:-)
I work at etrans. Would recommend them. Specific questions - email me... nm

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!


Could you be more specific? You worked there for 9 months -- what happened? sm

I'm just curious.  Stay away could be for a variety of reasons.


 


Thanks.



I have a set schedule...and have worked occasionally on the weekend
to help out because it's a brand new account and they're still trying to see where their greatest need is, like the busiest times.  It just depends on what account you get on I guess. I'm used to a set schedule because I worked MQ for 8 years.  They have benefits and everything so it really isn't like being an IC or SE but they do try to be flexible. After the nightmare of what MQ became in the last year I had to switch...I was just losing too much money at MQ and so far I love Keystrokes. 
I worked for them as an IC at 9 cpl with nice weekend differential - I don't think they have bene

Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm

well geeze, everyone I've ever worked for would pay on the 5th then if the 7th fell on weekend.

Could you email me?? I have more questions..Thanks .. nm

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.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm
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

I took out the legal references. If anyone has questions about it, email me directly.

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

A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm
x
When I worked there you got weekend differential and even higher holiday differential
and neither were required and no pressure to work and usually there was not much work as the extra pay made the MTs come crawling out of the woodwork!
If anybody has worked there previously can you please email me? sm
This would fit me well, but I have read a few negative remarks. 
ANYONE HERE WORKED FOR CC TRANSCRIPTION? EMAIL ME PLEASE
I would like to speak with MTs who have worked for her in the past. 
I worked under her too and she sent an email that she stepped down from management, which I think sm
means that she was demoted. Thank goodness. Those emails and calls were way too much. Now I am on the same account and do not get bothered, and it seems as though it is running better. We are definitely in better TAT time. There was a request last week for weekend help but with holiday pay as incentive (since it is 1-1/2 times our normal rates, it is the same as overtime pay) so I was happy to help. I could not on Sunday, but was not hassled.

If it was the same lead, she is no longer lead. WOO HOO!!
I could email them, but I would rather talk to someone that is working for them or has worked for th
Of course, they are going to tell you all the positives. I would like to hear from someone that can give me their opinion, good or bad.

If you do not want to post on this board, you can email me.

Thanks.
Worked for them for years. First time not even a card, email, gift certificate, acknowledgment of s
any kind.  The new management is so cheap.  Hope they aren't counting on the accolades of employee of the year this year.  They certainly are not that, and not even in the top ratings.  Everything changed this year.  And not for the better.
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?
