I see that CardioScribes is now advertising as a "Kentucky-based" company. sm

Since when is India in Kentucky?  Having the Indian owner own a house in Kentucky does NOT make the company KY-based!  I hate deception such as this.

But "Kentucky-based" Indians …. nm

After advertising they only use US MTs, now CardioScribes is outsourcing to India. nm

I am boiling mad, mainly at being lied to.  There has been no work due to the holidays, even now.  Now I find out the real reason is that they are giving it to a company in India.  Heck, for all I know, they probably own that company too, since they are also based in India (despite their web site page with a pic of all Caucasian or non-Indian people).  I wonder if their clients know about this change of policy?


I suppose in this day and age, I should not be surprised at such deceipt.  Are there any honest companies still out there?


Same reason CardioScribes is allowed. They are based in India, but hire sm
American MTs, probably as beards to fool the clients.  The owner has a house in Kentucky, so they call it a Kentucky-based company.  The work is sent to India, the techs allocate the work to the MTs, who send it BACK to India, where the techs cut and paste the work onto the platform the docs use, then send the work in.  There is NO company in Kentucky!  I would ask them to send a picture of these Kentucky headquarters. 
Does anyone know about this JG company that is advertising right now a lot. Any info would be
helpful. Have they lost a lot of people or did they get a lot of accounts.
I remember seeing a company advertising something about . . .
benefits starting immediately after hiring.  I think it might have been in regards to accruing PTO, not having to wait until after probation or one year with the company.  Does anybody remember which company this was?  Thanks!
ADMINISTRATOR, what company is she advertising for, please? nm

Did anyone ever hear of this JRancour Company that is advertising for MTs. I think they are in

Michigan.


after making such a great advertising for your company...sm
that EVEN provides its special Expander and TRAININ G, could you finally also name this WONDERFUL COMPANY?

Why else would you tell us about this so phantastic company?


U.S. based company
Softscript, Inc. or www.softscript.com is completely U.S. based, no offshoring. A nice company to work for (from home). Located in Santa Monica.
Did you not know they are an Indian-based company?
That is a well-known fact in this MT industry. I tried it anyway, and lo and behold, hated it! Prefer working for Americans as I am an American.
if this is the same company that is based in Maryland - sm
they used to have an excellent reputation. That's all the info I have to offer.
Is you company based in central FL? nm
xxxx
Is this company based out of Pittsburgh?
I know of a small national company out of Pittsburgh that I used to work for with basically one large account.
Christian-based company
The sad thing is, some Christians will use their so called Christianity to make themselves more trustworthy then they are.
It is client-based/ not company
This is set up by the client NOT the MTSO. I have worked on several different VPN accounts for Keystrokes. Some I can access the internet and others I could not. It depends on the hospital/clinic. If they set the security really high, you will not be able to access the internet. However, if the settings are lower, you would be able to do it. If it were up to Keystrokes, they would definitely want you to be able to access the internet.
how can you indicate NOT an offshore company based on what you "read?"

Best not to judge a company based on recruiter. (sm)
I just wanted to say that I am an MT and am related to a recruiter who actually recruits for several different companies at the same time. She isn't allowed to give out account names or even cities that the accounts are in by any of the companies she recruits for. She also is only the first step - if you seem like a good fit and pass the tests, then she puts someone from the actual company in touch with you to give you more information. I know of at least 2 other recruiters who also work for more than one company. They aren't on-site at the company, have no direct knowledge of the work flow patterns or accounts, and haven't ever actually even met the people they are recruiting for! Not all companies do this, but some of the smaller ones outsource their recruiting this way. My advice is this: If you don't get what you need from the recruiter, ask to speak to someone else who can tell you more.
Company I work for is based out of Texas
My main accounts are elsewhere but since the hurricane, the hospital we do there is not up and running so those girls are working on other accounts. It's slow everywhere. And yes, over-hiring is a big part of it.
any company bayscribe internet based program?

?


US based company? Focus MTs US=925, India=3800.

Anirudh Baheti (an Indian) started the company and sold it to Nuance for 58 million dollars last year.


Just an FYI, Mr. Baheti also owns a company called Focus Care which is a service that recruitis Indian nurses, trains them to pass the US nursing boards, and then places them in US hospitals to work for a much lower wage than an American nurse earns.


Mr. Baheti also owns/owned a company called Focus Enterprises which deals in industrial tubes and pipes.


Tell me again how this is US based company?


Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to

Cardioscribes
Anyone heard back from Cardioscribes, anyone start work with them, any infor at all.  Thank you.
Cardioscribes
They are hiring a lot of people but seem to be handling it well and there seems to be enough work.  Communication is good and nice people to work for!
Cardioscribes
I started with Cardioscribes a few weeks ago and like it very much. There is plenty of work. The people are extremely nice and helpful and are always available to answer questions. Communication line is great.
cardioscribes pay
THIS COMPANY IS NOT GOOD ABOUT PAYING ON TIME. THEY EXPECT A TURNAROUND TIME FOR THEIR WORK, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY
Cardioscribes
Has anyone applied and heard back from them? Good, bad or indifferent?
cardioscribes
I have been with them for a month now and I LOVE THEM!!!  They are awesome to work for with good accounts, plenty of work and pay on time.  Good management support as well. 
Cardioscribes pay
i cannot image such a thing happening with this company. if indeed it did happen that way, a simple phone call would clarify any issues. i have been with them for well over a year and have never had a paycheck late and in fact - have been paid promptly each and every time i submit a billing statement. i would like to have the details of your experience. something must have gone terribly wrong.
Cardioscribes
This is a great company to work for. The system is good, the communication is good, and your work schedule is flexible. I have never had a problem getting paid, which of course is the most important thing. If you like cardiology, this is the place to be!
Cardioscribes
I had heard that they did not have set pay days, that sometimes it would be a couple days after invoicing and other times a week. Is this true?
Cardioscribes
I can tell you the platform is a breeze. It will take about 15 minutes to train. Team spirit is wonderful. There is great communication especially when you are getting started. You are not just left hanging. If you know cardio you will not have a problem with any of these accounts. In my opinion, you will love it. Ton of work now and coming up.
Cardioscribes
Was anyone scheduled for training today?
cardioscribes
I have been trying to work with them, but, while I am quite self-sufficient and a self-starter, I do need a little bit of guidance and it doesn't seem to be coming with this company.  The first couple of times there was no work, then I got a job, but no samples or idea of how to format.  I don't know, maybe it's just me.  Let me know how it goes with you.
Cardioscribes...sm please

Are there a lot of ESLs on the accounts?  Seems like every place I have ever worked typing cardio....the ESLs far outnumbered the EFLs.  Thanks.


Any Cardioscribes MTs know
I had sent all my paperwork to the recruiter and I've been trying to email her but am getting no replies.  I started a little before the pay period ended and I'm trying to find out when pay day actually is.   Is there a HR dept?  I only have IM addresses of people I ask to send my MT jobs.  Also, how do you contact QA people?  Is there an acct list with contacts on it?
Cardioscribes - I see they are
current information on them?  I applied the last time they were doing a big hiring but never heard back from them.  Any current MTs working there that can share their experience?  I see some posts regarding irregular pay dates - is this still going on or was it just a one time thing?  How is the work load, do they have a lot of work?  What kind of platform? 
Cardioscribes
Guys I am so sad to see such negative posts on here.   I have been with the company for a year now.  I am the one who wrote the statement about the company thats posted on their site about how employees feel about the company. That is exactly how I felt about the company the day I wrote that and that is exactly how I feel about the company TODAY.  I am not spokeperson for the company and I dont even play one on TV.   I get paid just like everyone else, per line.   I have never missed a check. If there was any kind of discrepancy, I have contacted the person who does our line counts and the issue has always been resolved.  If , in fact, I was due more money, then they have wired the money to my account the following day.  I have worked for several companies in the past and I was treated horribly.  The QA was rude.  They didnt even know who i was half of the time or even care.  There was a certain amount (line count) I had to type or my employment was terminated, regardless of the fact that I have a family to feed.  With Cardioscribes, its nothing like that.  They call me by name, they are always helpful and pleasant and they understand that I have a life outside of work, so if things come up (doctor apts, etc), they completely understand.   NEVER have I been treated rudely by any employee from either India or the US Cardioscribes family.  In fact, I have never seen such friendliness and willingness to help.  I am so sorry for those that have had a bad experience with Cardioscribes, but really its just a handful of people who choose to be vocal on a company board, but the majority of Transcriptionist in the cardioscribes family are happy with their jobs.  I truly hope that if you are considerating a position with Cardioscribes that you will not be discouraged by a few negative posts.  Good luck in all you do. 
What's up with Cardioscribes?

Are they reorganizing or was there a massive walk-out? I heard mixed postings here about this company, but thought that for the most part people were happy there. Suddenly all of these top positons even the admin asst is posted. Too bad you can't do one of these jobs remotely, it would be great to get a position like one of those but they are all on site.  Anybody heard what's going on over there? Just wondering. TIA.


Cardioscribes
For anyone looking for information on this company, I am more than happy to share my experience.  You may e-mail me privately.  What I will say here publicly is that this is one of the most dishonest organizations (and I use the word organization very loosely here) I have been involved with.  They began with the lie of misleading me into thinking that I was hired by and American-owned company.  Then, once I began work, I was told to contact the MediHelp team to ask for files.  It became very clear that the file allocation team consisted of all Indian workers.  The allocation team lied to me on a daily basis about files being unavailable, and no wonder.  Their leader, Rahul, made practice of lying constantly as well.  I was liked to about everything from file availability to payroll.  I confronted them about it and was fired during the middle of my shift one day.  Keep in mind that my supervisor had given me glowing reviews of my work and had asked Rahul to make sure I had enough work each day.  Suddenly, during my shift one day, I received the e-mail that I was fired.  No phone call, no reason, no anything.  My supervisor  became very evasive and would not respond to my questions of why.  I know why, though.  I confronted Rahul and the allocation team about their dishonesty, and suddenly I didn't have a job.  But I know for sure that my supervisor and her supervisor sided with the dishonest people and did not stand up for me because they obviously are spineless and they want to protect their own jobs.  I can just about guarantee, though, that the Indians will cut them loose in the same cruel way I was treated, and it probably won't be in the distant future.  These Indian companies have absolutely no loyalties to anyone.  And I should have quit right on the spot when I found out that I had been lied to about the company's ownership.  As their recruiter and transcription supervisors are American, you don't know when being hired what the truth is, and they are NOT about to tell you before you're already on the payroll.

Just got offered a job.  I know there are some on here who work for them.  Please let me know what you think of them.  Tx


Cardioscribes

I was offered a postion with this company over 6 months ago  -- I normally will listen to a radio station or 2 via the internet with a local station in my home state or whatever -- I woke up one night to pings going on with my computer and LO and behold it was Cardioscribes tech support  -- accessing my computer at 3-4 a.m. Their Indian tech suport when I called was extremely rude and said :they were trying to fix a problem on MY end  -- I think not -- they were grabbing my computer  -- I then went to Hiwired and paid $90 to have them get my system straight  -- I NOW have AVG, cccleaner, smartdefrag, registry fix and advanced system care -- ALL of which are free and run them daily and throughout the day !!!! Might want to try this -- I had a tech from a REPUTABLE company here in America on the East coast telling me he was impressed with the stuff that I have on my computer  -- I also have superantispyware run it daily and have never had problems  -- EVERY time you are on this site or another its tracking and so many new MTs and even older MTS dont understand that you have to do daily tune ups


Off the box for now cause it is hot and humid here


 


CardioScribes

Shannon,I w as offered a jot with them. will you please email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com


advertising?
Just curious as to where they are advertising?
That may be but they are advertising. nm
no msg
Not advertising but looks like...
they are taking resumes, doing testing on their web site. I'm tired of going through applying, testing, etc. and then finding out the company is a nightmar so I thought I'd check firrst
Well, they are advertising for a
recruiter so I think they need to get that position filled so they will have someone who will reply to all the job applicants they have.  Now, that is just my opinion.
