Iridium Services

Has anyone ever heard of a company called Iridium Services based in Florida?  They actually contacted me asking for my services -- said "a physician" gave them my phone #.  I have an unlisted # and the accounts I work on don't have my #.  Just wanted to know if it was a legit company or are they an outsourcing company.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Iridium Services in Florida
Current info please on this company.  Would like to hear good and bad.  Thank you.
Iridium Services located in Florida

Would anyone with knowledge about this company, please post what their platform MDinTouch is like.  How are they to work for, good and bad.  Anything you would like to share would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Iridium
I am working this morning and FYI there is plenty of work out there to be done rather than sitting here making statements that are simply not the case.  At the end of the day, fast food might be the better option for you if this is all you have to do on a Sunday morning.  Now I can understand all the comments from people who wonder out loud why people here are so negative.  I know that your statements are not true.  Get off your whine, do the work that is assigned to you and stop posting your unhappiness and perhaps just do something about it. Let us all know about your next company as well.  We'll be wating.   
Iridium??

I was offered an oncology account by Iridium Services today.  Does anyone know anything about the company - good or bad?


Iridium
I heard they don't have work, but they hire every so often anyway. Let us know how you make out.
Iridium
I do have a list of questions for them this morning - what platform they use, how they pay, how often, where they are located, etc.  I will let you all know!!  If anyone else has information, please forward.  Thank you.
Iridium
Anyone with current info regarding Iridium, please share your experience.  I am especially interested in their oncology account. Pros and cons regarding platform, cpl rate, enough work, any flexibility in schedule.  Thank you.
At Iridium...
just realized a new person started and is getting all the cake dictators, maybe 1 rasty dictator, but all the ones others have asked for repeatedly over time and have been denied...

CRAPPY management I would say... we need to confront the management en masse about the unfairness of job assignments
What do you know about Iridium Technologies?
I'm looking for a new job and have tested with Iridium Technologies.  What do you know about them?  I am looking for a Radiology only job.
IRIDIUM inconsistencies

Iridium has rules that NEARLY everybody follows.  Two main ones are you only do your preferred pool and you don't suspend work.  One person specifically continues to do work NOT in her preferred and to suspend work that is NOT in her preferred.  AND she appears to get away with it as it happens nearly daily.  Below is a post on this board by that person.  There seems to be a lack of teamwork on her part, which she so vehemently was excited was present at Iridium. 


It may be time to start job hunting.  It is so hard to have any trust in management when there is a favorite or 2 who is allowed to not play by the same set of rules as the rest of us struggling to get lines and have some money in our paychecks.  This company has sure not lived up to its promises to transcriptionists at all. 


Not that I have to explain

myself  to you I will respond.  I decided to join Iridium 4 weeks after I was contacted by them.  I also was told that Iridium outsourced, which was the reason for my original post.  I would never work for a company that outsourced and I wasn't going to jump ship before I had some information.  I worked on the account for 8 years at my previous employer, and like most professionals give notice of their intention to leave.  I left my previous employer with the understanding I would be transcribing the same dictators, which has NOT happened.  I have one, and that decision came from the account administration because it was the DOCTOR's choice.  Do you feel shafted by everyone that started working after you because you were there first, or do you just have something against me?  So much for the teamwork I keep hearing about, and how great everyone is.  Maybe next time you'll reveal your true identity so I can respond to you directly.


 


Iridium Florida
Love it here. Pay is on time and the team members are wonderful. Lots of work. The way a real company should be!
Iridium job applicants
Has anyone who applied for the oncology job at Iridium heard back from them?  I applied but haven't heard back and was wondering if anyone else has...maybe they're inundated with applicants.
Anyone else tired of games at Iridium??

I am so tired of the games of management, promises that people will follow the rules not being kept (as in no apparent consequences), my preferred pool forever changing, hurrying to save work for the weekend and either having none while others have lots, and then if you do have lots, you work your tail off to get it done only to have no work monday morning.    


What has this industry come to?  Fast food work ALMOST sounds appealing ...


Diskriter, USAMedTran, Iridium, Landmark, Softscript,

Spectramedi, Breitner, SPi, TC Transcription, All Type, NEMT, etc.... 


 


Does anyone know which ones pay editors hourly as opposed to production?


Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

Could be one of the MS services down there, too. nm

There are still some services (sm)

which treat ICs like real ICs and expect them to have their own equipment, know how to use encrypt files, use an FTP site, and the like.  If you would like to email me with an idea of what sort of work you are looking for, I can probably suggest a couple of places to try.


Do you use Instant Text?  That's your best bet if you want an Expander that works well with almost every transcription platform.


I don't like working on platforms that dole my work out a job or 2 at a time.  I find I'm much more productive when I can download an allotment of files and prioritize them, doing the longer dictations and more difficult dictators when I'm freshest and saving the easy stuff for when I'm dragging a bit.


Anyone know anything about DTK Services in CT? nm

MRT Services
Yes, I have info. The reps that work the office are totally incompetant. They state that payment will be received within 30-45 days of the invoice for the services. It's not. The pay in trickles here and there, say they mailed checks when they didn't, and they are currently behind on payment several hundred dollars for my wife. We received two checks from them in two weeks, and then checks just stopped coming. She had not stopped working or had any significant gap in invoices, they're just not paying her. I am seriously irritated with them. I don't know anyone who needs a job, but doesn't need the money. They state they'll pay you in a particular amount of time, that's what they need to stick to. The defend themselves by saying their clients haven't paid. That is their problem! They try to pretend like it should matter to you that they haven't been paid, but the fact is, you're working for them, not their clients. They need to pay on the schedule they agreed to regardless. My wife now has to get a full time job because this isn't cutting it for paying our bills. Not only that, but when you agree to take a job at NOON, you don't get the job until 5 or 6 pm or even later!!!  That makes a big difference in whether or not you can do the job. They claim it's because they have to digitize the jobs. How long can that possibly take? They make too many excuses, don't pay on a schedule, are constantly late, and whine about little details. They constantly try to correct your grammar when they're actually wrong (wife has a degree in English). So thanks a lot MRT, you people need to get it together in a big way. And teach you front office who deals with your typists to be a little more respectful of their time and money, stop making excuses for your mishandling of your role. I would not recommend MRT Services to anyone. If you need money, get an actual job, because MRT is a joke.

they match up ppl with what services
they need...ie filing bankruptcy, they will link you with those resources. Lawyer referrals for what you need, not just a lawyer. If you use those services, you get a discount of one sort or another. Counseling, weight control, other life problems are free. Depends on what you need them for, but they are supposed to be pretty good. The hospital I work for has them for things like child care, elder care, cousneling, life matters, etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Patty - I have worked for Transcend for almost 3 years and am now a team lead. I have always found the company to be very fair in both pay scale and employee relations. They are very open to discussion about almost anything. I would say go for it. Email me if you would like. Sue
Has anyone tried those MT matchmaker services?..sm

I have been looking around at MT companies for months now and only apply to those that I would really want to work at, including being able to do work in my specialites, days/hours I prefer to work, pay rates that are acceptable to me (when stated in the ad), etc.  So there really aren't many that I have sent to overall, but I am flabergasted how many do not return my emails or email back saying that specific position is filled, but would I consider a different position/shift, etc... like a bait and switch before you're even hired.


I have over 12 years of experience and a decent resume of work done in the past for multiple types of transcription services and also includes that I've been with one national company my whole career so far which shows my loyalty and dedication, so I don't know why I'm not appealing to these companies.


Has something changed in the industry?  Several years ago I was going to leave my national and sent out resumes and every single one of them called or emailed back with an offer within the day... now, there's nothing.  Are the services just overwhelmed with resumes or are they shying away from experienced MTs or what's going on?


So my question is... Have any of you tried those matchmaker services where they match you up with companies looking for MTs with your skills?  Do they work?  Are they legit?  Do they cost?  Just because the companies are registered with them, does that mean they are legit companies, or is this a sort of an anything-goes type of thing?


Just wondering what other's experiences have been and whether it's worth trying something like this.  I put my resume on this board years ago and got spam, spam, spam, and no responses, so won't do that again.  Any other suggestions?  TIA!!

Ever heard of MRT Services?
Any info would be appreciated.  I have checked their website but doesn't really answer any of my questions.  It says they type focus groups and interviews.  Medical terminology is a plus?  So are they not a medical company?
