Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India

Posted By: PAMT on 2007-06-15
In Reply to: Posts from years ago said it was really bad there. Wonder if anyone will 'fess up - to working there now...NM

after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.

They send a majority of the Escription accounts to India. There are a few of the hospitals that said
they could not send their work there but I suspect they do anything. In any event, yes, a lot of the easier work goes to India and they are proud of this affliation, not bad it doesn't pay my bills. Then, they wonder why we are so angry about India taking our jobs.
Yes they do send work to India
I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.
:
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.
.
Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
And they are proud to have these partners
Does Transtech send work to India? nm
nm
Not hiring because they send most their work to India
 
Anyone know anything about Cbay at all in Maryland. Do they only send their work to India.
:
This is all part of the cost-saving plan..first, send your American MTs work to India so we sit here
with nothing and then manipulate the way the lines are counted. Sounds like cost cutting at our expense to me. 
Does Transcription, Technology, & Support send work to India? Thinking of applying if not.
Does anybody know. 
I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&
nm
Apparently, they have contracted with India to work some accounts as they are getting paid less on
these accounts. Obviously, labor is cheaper in India. So, they have to send the work where they can afford to. I know I'm done with them. Pretty soon, there will be no jobs left because these hospitals apparently want cheap labor. You get what you pay for is all I am saying.
Supposedly if you send anything to India you can't put an ad up for an MT BUT sm

Alltype sends everything after 8 p.m. EST to India to be done overnight and THEY are allowed to have an ad up here. 


Cornerstone in NJ, Zylomed, Transcend, TransTech, EFD are those that come immediately to mind, but that is just a couple compared to the fact that I know others would never send to India.


Probably just send it all to India, where sweatshops
nm
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. 
I would send in your resume or call the office. Some accounts do not
use phone lines at all and are internet only. My account is an 800# but I am not sure if there are any openings on my account.
no, they should know their accounts and hire APPROPRIATELY. nm
8-0
Does Transcend hire PT? Do they have accounts
nm
Clinic accounts going to India or SR, that doesn't
xx
One of the MediHelp men admitted that one of the accounts had gone to an India MT. sm
Much was revealed on the conference call too. 
They hire in preparation for new accounts, those new MTs start getting (sm)
up to speed and they are sharing our work until the new accounts come on. Yes, it may get a little lighter because of this, but when their new accounts come on they scoot over and we have the option of another backup account in our pools if we need it. It is called growing and team work. So far any time I have had to flex my schedule it has worked just fine and they have certainly been great about flexing with me when emergency things pop up. These are good people and they want us all to make money and help maintain a good company, they don't want us low on work. Work with them and they will work with you.


Did we not just lose a lot of MTs with the accounts that we lost? What the heck did we hire (sm)

around 15 more MTs for then?  Why would they post the welcome to new employees for July and August?  Yes, perhaps they were hired before we lost that account and were anticipating a new one, but get real.   Some of those employees could have been with the company a long time.  I think they should reduce the availability of work to the newcomers and provide to those who have been building this company all along.


Not trying to be mean, really.  It just does not seem fair.


 


Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time.  I get sick to death of it.  I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
if they send work to someone who
offshores then quite simply they offshore
I work there, but cannot send an email.
How can I help you
All I know is that they send work overseas. nm

I just called them. They are in NY but send 100% of the work
out of the country. No thank you.
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
Does OSI send work offshore?

If so I won't bother.  TIA


Who is LK -- know TT did send some work to another service, but

but please let me know what you are saying because we TT'ers are very interested in what you are saying to us all -- I just know there is something very wrong with my line count.  I have been doing this too long to not know how many lines I can get.  I cannot put my finger on the problem -- I just know it does fall in my lap. 


This is really disturbing to me.


They do not send work to Focus...sm
or get work from Focus. Please get your facts straight before making up stuff on these boards. If you think you can prove otherwise send me your information.
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will. 
OSI does send offshore work
nm

or just beyondtxt work to india? I have been on escription.. my last paycheck is barely 300 bucks (due tomorrow) as there was NEVER any work on the accounts i had
MDI does NOT send work overseas.

Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
even if they send work overseas...
Please help me find a company to work for that has WORK and pays on time. That is all I ask at this point.
Much good work going to India. Bad work left
xx
As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM
NM
You send the work in using their program, yes. I never ran out of work sm

but I was just working part-time, and this was about a year ago, so things could have changed.  Isabelle and everyone seem so caring, it is hard to believe that they would consistently have MTs without work, but that seems to be a curse of the industry lately.


Good luck to you!


Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

Batch receive/send work?
Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches?  I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time.  30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology.  I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home.  Hate this winter driving!!!
Which nationals do not send work out of the country?

Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.


TIA.


Does anybody work for SmartMed/TSI? When do they send out pay checks? TIA. nm

Keystrokes is and will not send work out of the country. sm
The owners feel strongly about that.
They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.

I really wonder how much cheaper it is to send work overseas. When you
think about it, IC here gets about 4 cpl for VR and about 8 or 9 for straight typing.  Overseas they have to go through a middle man or whoever owns the services and you cant tell me they arent getting a decent cut of the cpl and paying 3 cpl or so to their people.  Just my thoughts.  I bet the cost is very close anymore to what we earn.  I see Delta is bringing its reservation call service back here from India because of all the complaints from US customers. I would expect it is the benefits here for employees that causes a problem costwise for MTs.
They send our American work to the Philippines,
Philippines you would not be allowed to work.  Americans cannot get jobs in the Philippines because they are saving them all for the Filipinos - don't know if we'd want them anyway but that is beside the point.  Doesn't seem fair, does it, that they can take our work away from us and we get nothing in return.
