Meditran Description
Hi there. I understand wanting any and all information you can get, been there lol. Meditran is a small family owned business located in Odessa, Texas.  We were cruising along really good all these years, but then two weeks ago one of our MTs was in a horrible car wreck that killed her husband and critically injured her.  She is doing okay now, but as you can imagine unable to work.  Well this took out two of our MTs as her mother also worked for us. Then we had one MT whose computer totally crashed.  Another MT whose step dad is in the hospital with not much time left. So as you can see we are scrambling. Those of that are working have been completely covered up.  The owner is also an MT and has always hired locally.  This has not worked out very good for one reason or another. So she asked me to place an online ad and see if we could get some help that way. This is strictly and orthopedic account that we need help with.  I have worked for this company for going on four years.  My checks have never been late. The owner is very laid back, she is not a nitpicky person, she just wants the work done and done correctly.  This account does not go by BOS, they have their own standards, which we would teach you. I hope this helps answer any questions anyone may have and if there are more feel free to email me at RoseMT37@aol.com.
any info on Transcription Services, LLC based in NC?

It is VR.  Would greatly appreciate any info from anybody  that is currently employed with them or has been in the recent past.


 


 


DSG out of Atlanta.
I have worked for them since November and love it. Very helpful, friendly staff and the QA feedback is also very helpful. Pay is ALWAYS on time and I always get immediate responses. I have been in the hospital recently (complications during early pregnancy) and they have been ultra supportive and understanding. I love DSG and feel very blessed to be employed as an IC with them!
DSG, Atlanta
Anyone working for DSG, Atlanta?  Would appreciate any information about this company.  Read prior post about their sound quality not being good but otherwise seemed a good company.  Any additional input would be appreciated  Know they use Docuscribe.  Thanks in advance!

Looking for company around Atlanta
I am supposed to be working today but again, no work. I need a job where I can most of the time be assured there is going to be work there, not a hit and a miss type situtation. Have loads of experience, fast speed, want a good platform and because of the problems with ULD, want to get work in my area code (here we have 3 different ones- 404, 678 and 770).  Anyone out there know of any companies close around that fit this profile? Thanks
I am referring to DSG in Atlanta, GA

ATLANTA HOSPITALS

I am not sure about St. Joseph, Grady or Atlanta Medical, but my husband used to work at Emory and they have outsourced everything they can..he was laid off during all the change about 3 years ago.


A new nonprofit board just took over running Grady, so no telling what is going on there....


I live south of Atlanta (Griffin area) and all hospitals in this area outsource. 


I heard through the grapevine that Southern Regional (Riverdale) let their radiology transcriptionists go not too long ago, but don't know about HIM. 


But, if you happen to find a hospital that still has in-house, please let me know!!!!


Is this Paradigm out of Atlanta?
If so, I worked for them about 5 years ago.  They were wonderful, paid very well.  At that time I lived locally to them and only quit because I was moving out of state (I know, these days you don't have to quit because of moving) and they were my second job.  I would go back in a second if at all feasible.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm

Med-Tech in Atlanta or Amphion??
Any feedback would be greaty appreciated.  Trying to decide where to go or if should stay??
I believe you can use dial-up with DSG out of Atlanta -- don't know if they have IC positions
available but couldn't hurt to try.

Any opinions on Med Trans, Inc out of Atlanta, GA
Any comments?  Good or negative?  Thank you.
Re: Wordspeed in Atlanta, Georgia
I have worked for Wordspeed since March 2006 and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. At that time, I switched my employment from Medquist to Wordspeed, and, unlike MedQuist, Wordspeed ALWAYS has a full workload for everyone, all the time, 7 days a week. The owners/supervisors are the husband-wife team of Ron and Charlotte Wojcik (pronounced WOY-chick), and their professional attitudes and sheer professional expertise way surpass anything I ever experienced at MedQuist. If you are interested in working for Wordspeed, feel free to call them directly at (770) 516-6235 or write them at:

What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm

Are they USA based
do they have a lot of ESLs? Is the pay fair? TIA.
Based on -
When you work in a production environment, you are paid for production. You are expected to meet certain quality requirements. So why should you be paid more just because you have a certain number of years in? There are some very BAD MTs with many years experience, and some very good ones with just a few. If you are good, quick, and accurate, you will make more. What's so unfair about that?
Is that based on
gross $$ or net $$? That is an unusual way of determining FT/PT status.
only want internet based too. nm
nm
That's an answer that can only be based on
If you can produce a lot of lines per hour (300-350 or more), then you're not going to make money on VR.  Depending on what your company offers as a rate for VR is what you would have to use to arrive at a base figure.  One company pays 60%.  That means in order to just break even you'd have to produce 40% more than you do in straight typing.  That means at 350 lines per hour straight typing, you'd have to produce 490 lph in VR just to break even.  Then you'd have to take into consideration that when you do VR you're not editing like QA editing.  You have to completely edit the whole report, read the whole thing, and correct all errors.  This sometimes takes as much time as straight typing depending on the dictator.  Some are very easy.  Some you have to correct almost the entire report.  Chances are that you're not going to consistently get very easy reports every day, all day.  If you're working on an overflow account for a client that has in-house transcription or for a client that has multiple transcription services, you can bet your bottom dollar that you're not getting the easy reports at all, let alone consistently.

They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Actually it's based on four things...
The pay plan is based on production, QA scores, how much you send for help, and whether you have a CMT. It is evaluated every month. By the way, the pay plan was actually created through our employee vision team, which gives employees input into how the company is run. I happen to like it as it means I make more money when I am able to produce more and I get that increase for at least a month. Has worked for me and others to give consistent raises for good performance. The platform is pretty easy, there are people who are doing 2500-3000 lines/day on it.
Not based on average..
PTO is based on 1200 lines, not by an average.
U.S. based company
