I start at Webmedx next week and was told...

that my account will be 30% ESL.  When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle.  I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so.  He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had.  Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan.

I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
Seasoned, we were told from the very start we could not
retype the entire report, better not zap it off and start over because it was a no-no and your pay would still be for the lesser amount per line even if you were allowed to retype. It is not VR that I am steaming, enraged at, nah, it is mostly the ESLs we have now. I love VR myself even with its quirks.
$700 a week?!!! You trying to start something here???nm

I'm due to start next week and this has

all been a bit unsettling for me too.  I'm pretty dependable so I'm not terribly worried about a schedule, but I'm worried about line count.  I need to do 1200+ lines a day, and I don't think that is an unreasonable number, but I'm starting to worry about how much time I'm going to be given to reach it. 


I have to tell you I'm wavering a bit, wondering if I would be better off where I am. 


 


me too! I start this week. I had to sm
get cable internet because mine wasn't fast enough on the upload. Its in and I am waiting for my ID numbers from the hospital. They have treated me like a queen adn I haven't even started.

I too am excited about a job again!!!!!!!!!
I start mine next week. They have sm
already sent me a nice gift for MT week and I haven't even started yet!!!!!!!!
Hey Fingers! I start next week. sm
Had to decide to put in cable internet instead of what I had. It is installed Monday. I have everything I need, people have been wonderful and I haven't even started yet. Even got a nice gift for MT week and haven't typed a line yet!

I sure feel like a valued employee before I even start!

Thanks for asking! How you doing?
I know, but we will have it cleaned out to start the week and then it is (sm)
the last week of the payperiod and seems like people are always having to try to make up lines/hours that week.

Good luck to us all.
I was told hourly start to accrue PTO immediately...
production employees after 1 year. BUT - that doesn't mean you can't take a vacation, just that you don't get paid. When I worked a factory job some years ago, you didn't get any vacation the first year - paid or unpaid!
I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
Anyone here typing the new acct that was to start this week?
nm
Will start training next week... any input on what to expect?
thanks.
Newbie bud was told 1200 lpd, THEIR computer, low pay. Poor communication from the start. nm

They told me they'd call by the end of the week.
so i'm just waiting, lol
As recently as last week, I was told that there were
never employee positions at MDI-MD, strictly IC only. Are you sure you have the right company? I have many friends who work there as well, and all are IC and wish they had employee status. Very confused here.
This week I was told $11.25 an hour

I'd be editing VR all day though as she sends her standard transcription off to some MTSO.  I forgot to ask which.  Those wages are not bad really for this part, but nothing to scream about.  I was making $14 an hour at the in-house hospital job and the peak there was $17.50.   The bens are wonderful, $150 for family and that includes dental, vision.  We also get a 401k. 


But just from the interview, we only get yearly raises.  She doesn't do merit increases.  There are no quarterly QA audits.  Her standards are low, 1100 lines per day for editing.  She told me I was at the top of her list to hire but she is still interviewing.  I took it as she was looking for someone who would work cheaper.


 


Also I was told there is a 20 hour per week requirement (sm)
along with the 4,000 line. I have been an IC with this company since 1998 and just found this out about a week ago. Nothing in anything I actually signed, they were just "letting me know" to maintain my status this was the requirement.

As above, each office is different although I think they are trying to get more uniform across the board.
I was told that was no longer an option last week.

TNI told me last week they weren't hiring currently as
s
You need to confirm that with Keystrokes as I was told last week it was not. sm
I would assume each account has different software and programs as to whether it is compatible or not. I was told most of their accounts are not. So don't assume that all Keystrokes accounts are compatible.
They told me last week they weren't hiring
true or false?  This was e-mail from Carlotta.
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
They test for ortho but not others but I was just told that starting this week, everyone will have t
I love it there too!
If you start PT at WebmedX, can you ask for FT down the road?
I am considering employment with WebmedX as my current situation is beginning to fall apart. Not being paid on time, and some other serious issues that suggest the company is floundering. I don't want to just quit however, as I cannot afford to take a major salary cut. I want to be sure that wherever I go I will be able to make enough money.
Any other new Webmedx hires? I start training (sm)

in about a week.  Am really excited and nervous. I realize no company is perfect, but this one seems to  have so many of the things I am looking for. 


I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind.  Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up.  Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control.  OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on.  I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
Yikes! Webmedx recently told me they don't have
...the capability for VR.  Is this something new?
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

Starting with WebMedX in a week or so ...

Have been with MQ for 12 years.  Am really looking forward to WebMedX.  I did a survey like the one you're doing here, and didn't have one bad reply from MTs who work for WebMedX.  So, I'm really hoping it will be a great place to work!  MQ used to be a great place to work....afraid it's no longer true. 


So wish me luck! 


I know Webmedx pays $11/hour for 1 week.
I have seen in the past week other companies that pay, but I didn't pay attention to who they were.  I found the info browsing the job boards. 
Webmedx pays $11/hour for one week and then
pay 25% above line rate for 3 days to give you some time to build-up production. 
Did Webmedx honor your 2-week notice? sm
I'm on good terms with Webmedx and think it's a great company. I have an opportunity that I'm probably going to take, and I would give a 2-week notice to Webmedx, of course.

My concern is that when you give a notice some companies don't honor that themselves and instead tell you to go ahead and leave early. Has this ever happened to you with Webmedx?

Please respond only if you left on good terms with the company when they gave Webmedx a 2-week notice. The question doesn't apply to those who resigned without a 2-week notice to avoid getting fired or were terminated.

I'm thinking Webmedx is an honorable company and would let me work my 2 weeks, but with the state of the economy, I am naturally concerned about the possibility of being without 2 weeks of pay.

Thanks in advance!
Cool MT week gift from Webmedx...
Love it!  Cook's apron, with the Webmedx logo embroidered on the front.  I'll use it a lot.  Very nice gesture. 
We've been at high alert OT all this week at Webmedx. nm

TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm
xx
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
Ok. When will you start?

When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
