Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Just in case the info you find is old...

Posted By: Iscriptor has recently been updated. on 2009-05-22
In Reply to: I am the OP and had I done what I .... - Now feeling dumb!

Any info older than 3 months or so will be outdated. Iscriptor has recently been updated and it is much faster now than it used to be as the files now load in the background while you transcribe unlike before where you had to wait in between each report for your completed to upload and the next sound file to download.

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
I think if you test well they will consider you on a case by case basis without the full 5 years.
I would definitely contact them anyway.
they may be willing to make considerations on a case-by-case basis s/m
I have a couple of situations that make 8 hours straight not possible for me, and when I hired on with the company I was with who recently merged with Transcend, they worked with me to find ways that would help me be productive without hindering my physical and personal limitations.

I am not going to list specifics, but I was very impressed at how willing they were to help me and they told me that they are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis.
Where can I find this info? NM

where can I find this info?
Yes, I was totally clueless!! But have another job!!!
Where did you find this info?
I just searched BBB online and they had no listings for DRC at all. I personally have little faith in the BBB. On a few occasions years ago I defered to them for recommendations for services I was thinking of using. Two of the three times I used a BBB-recommended company I got poor service/burned and wasn't ever going to trust their opinion again.

So, unless you called the BBB in their area I really question the validity of the rating. If they do have a bad rating what is it compared to? One F from one disgruntled employee? As we all know, not all MTs can cut it and if someone got fired they could have made a complaint in spite. Even if someone made a valid complaint to the BBB about DRC I really don't care. I speak from my experience. DRC is not a fly-by-night company. They have a good rep, treat their employees well, and I plan to work there until my hands fall off.
Did that. All I could find was old info or job ads...Thanks! nm

I Know Why No One Can Find Info For Datakey.

I was hired by DatakeyMT quite a few weeks ago and these people DO NOT keep in touch. 


First, I was hired.  I had to e-mail them the next day and remind them they hired me.  Then, I was sent the software, which I had some trouble with (I won't go into how many critical grammar errors the manual had).  They tried to help and then just stopped e-mailing me after I sent a screen shot of the configurations and told them it still wasn't working.  After 3 hours, I figured it out myself.  They cheered for that.  Then, I was sent 2 test files; 1 was 6 seconds, the other 7.  I told them there was nothing but silence on these files.  That was 3 weeks ago.  No more correspondence whatsoever.


What a waste of time.  Not to mention, the platform seemed VERY time consuming.


The way I see it, if they find info on mine they

I can't find any info. I applied a few days sm
ago and have heard nothing. Curiosity is getting the best of me.
could not find anything in archives regarding "All Type". Anyone have info on.....

Do they only hire employees, or IC's also:  What platform do they use:  Are they a good company to work for?


Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.


RE: could not find anything in archives regarding "All Type". Anyone have info on.....
From their web site: At ALL TYPE, our goal is to recruit and retain the very best medical transcriptionists. We would like you to consider joining us. If you qualify, you would be a welcome part of our team of highly trained Medical Transcriptionists (MTs). ALL TYPE transcriptionists enjoy the flexibility of being in an at-home environment as full-time employees or if you prefer, as independent contractors. Our staff retention rate is high for good reason.Our MTs say they have never worked in a happier group or for a company that attended to their issues in such a responsive way. As a matter of fact, many of our new MTs are referrals from our existing MT staff. See what our people say....(click here)

We pay our MTs highly competitive rates.
You have the opportunity for career advancement.
You'll use cutting-edge technology.

Searched archives and cannot find info on MedScript Services, Inc. and Inscribe software...sm
They are also on the web as MedScript Services, Inc. I think that they're based in Naples, Florida. I also believe that they use a platform called INSCRIBE. Any comments on the software or company?

Well if that's the case..what about OSI? (sm)

Everybody now knows and they have admitted to outsourcing overseas...so why are they allowed to post of that's the rule of the boards?


In case you still need to know. sm

in this case, it is just a Name and nothing else..sm
have seen her post before under that name. It does not mean she is necessarily a newbie or a wannabe anything. in my opinion.
this has been in my case,
however, it may not be the same for all hires. In fact, i've wondered if you are really talking about the same company with the sun-thu or tue-sat schedule. No such requirements were put on me. Is this MDI out of Maryland? All we were expected to schedule when I was hired was any 2 weekend days per month. There has been no daily/weekly line quota. The best bet, as always, is to talk to the recruiter and see what they say.
Not the case
No work is definitely not the case. I personally have not taken a day off in 3 weeks because of OT (not complaining, need to $ anyway), so lack of work is not a problem. There is no problem as far as I am concerned. If you have such a problem there, go somewhere that suits you better. Try MQ!
just in case...

They get in a bind??  I don't know, but I get so many emails wagging the finger about how flexing was okay yesterday when the work was low (meaning nonexistant for many of us), but today we are building up, so if you have time to make up, do it now!  And then if 3 days on down the road a bonus comes up, you don't qualify because you don't have your hours/lines in.  So confusing...and somewhat unreasonable when you are a real person with a real family and other comittments besides being chained to your desk for a paycheck!! And please do not bash, I have a total of 6 backup accounts. 


Not the case at all.

Why is it when someone disagrees they are one of the chosen?  I think this is absurd.  I listened and do follow the rules and when I take my work I do it and then return for more .. the weekend is usually when those who do not follow rules throw their work back and the rules are set up specifically so that you know when you can go and pick any work that is available and not have to worry about preferred and selected and whatever.  After 20+ years in this business I have learned that worrying about what everyone else is doing or has for work has never helped me one iota.  Any service that does clinic work has a slow day and does it not make sense that if practices are closed on weekends that Monday is going to be a slow start with low work volume?  And, for the record, I was promised nothing, asked for the rules and follow them and work my schedule and extra is asked.  I do what is there for me and I don't think of myself as working only for certain dictators.  I do it all.  Some I like better than others but as an IC I understand how the work flow goes and pretty much it is the same from one place to the next. 


Additionally, I have another part-time job to pick up the slack.  A little planning on your part might be in order.  At tax time you would be glad to find it to your favor not to have just one client as an IC. 


If that's the case...
I would ask to have 1 account removed where there is no work and be put on an account that has work.

But, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to have more than 3 accounts.
The latter case, likely. It's also...sm
happened to me too many times to count.  We are routed several jobs at once, usually 3 or so.  I can usually see the next job(s) in the queue.... and sometimes know by the doc's number who the dictator is.  But when I try to load the next job, all of a sudden it'll disappear and usually replaced by crap work, ESLs, etc.  It usually occurs during certain shifts, if I need to work off of my regular shift.  The lead MTs in my co. do the distributing of work but theyalso have to get their own lines in.... so you know they're not keeping the s - - - jobs, ESLs for themselves.  I've decided that the next time this happens, I'll just contact the particular sup.MT and ask what's up?  Where was my work?  AND CC THE E-MAIL TO THEIR OWN SUPERVISOR.  i'll bet it'll stop quick!
in this case
pb doesn't mean peanut butter
If that is the case for you sm
then YAY you! There are at least 2 of us right here who had the same issue, so for you to be adamant that we did not, is just plain silly. I'd say if you are not experiencing what we are talking about, then this conversation DOES NOT pertain to you. Save yourself the stress and go about enjoying your IC position however you want to take it!
That is only the case...
if it is absolutely impossible to have the report transcribed in an emergency setting, but that is the exception, not the rule.  That is why there is a need for STAT MTs.  It's a fact.  Transcribed reports are needed on weekends.  That's just the way it is.
This has ALWAYS been the case. More so now than
.
Not so in my case
Been there 2 years, did not test, but had 20+ years experience. I don't believe they hire PT, but could be wrong. Monday mornings are a bit slow early, but usually picks up pretty quickly. My line rate was fairly good, and their incentive program (the more lines you do, the more you get paid per line back to line 1) is great. No one is happy with VR as far as pay anywhere, but I do believe there is no choice anymore, everyone will have to eventually do it. It is not fair what is being done to MTs because of VR. Yes, I do transcribe it faster, not twice as fast, which is what I would have to do to earn my normal line rate. Lastly, I am a happy TTer, and do not feel like I work for next to nothing. If I did, I would go elsewhere.
Not true in my case.
I do not feel I should be used to gain experience.  I have had ton of job offers.  Also,  when I received work back from QA, it was just horrid.  The QA was not helping me at all.  It was not good and often wrong grammar was in my reports by the QA people, and the AAMT book of style was not even used, even though they said that was the guideline.  I want to be a better MT, not a sloppy MT.  I was trained by an excellent school and no what to look for.  Believe me when I say,  I only had one page of guidelines to follow for all my accounts.  My other job have a book of what to use and not to use.  I want to be an excellent MT and train for my CMT exam in 2 years.  I would be sloppy if I stayed at MQ. The reports QA sent back were just out of this world.  I need to move on and learn.  I am with a smaller company now.  I will stay and get my experience in, just not at MQ.
Hey, get off my case. I like Lee and Keystrokes.
However, I don't think it's right to make excuses for hiring people and failing to follow through on the oral contract.  THAT was my point that YOU missed.
I know exactly what you're saying, but in this case -
this is what our hospital wants. It's not that we need people inhouse. They get to make the choice. Our hospital does not want to hire people in 10 different states and all over the country. The hospital has great benefits, vacation, sick leave, incentives, etc.
Good for you, it just is not the case with everyone
nm
Is this person a nut case or what? As
unprofessional as anyone I've ever seen.  
the log in is case sensitive - sm

You might try changing the way you log in.  I believe it should be ALL caps.  That could be the problem with logging in.  Can't help with the rest, don't know why they wouldn't be returning calls.


 


 


and in my case, they have made NO
contributions to my MetLife account this year. Hope this is only my problem, just wanted to make others aware it was happening to me.
I thought that was the case, but I had to ask because
seems like the majority do alot of bitching and moaning about not being paid enough.
