KS new occupational health account(s)

Would someone who is working on any the new occupational health account(s) say what platform is used for them.  Thanks.


Also, how about someone who has started on the new hem/onc account that uses Allscripts platform, how do you like the account and the platform?  Is it difficult to get your line counts?  Thanks.


If you are referring to the occupational health account...
it has been delayed, yet again. To whatever account you are referring, just make sure that you are up and running at KS before you quit your other job. You may even want to change to part time at your current employer just in case things don't go as planned at KS.

I am still waiting to start and am very uncertain because they don't call back when they say they will. I know that people are busy, but I also expect companies to keep their word, especially when an account does not start when they said it would.
Occupational health is my absolute favorite to do. sm
It is interesting but easy to get a line count because they do a lot of the same things. You get TB screenings and cuts and bruises, but you get some very, very interesting ones too. You would be surprised to see what lengths people will go to in order to get out of work!

As for platform, I have heard that one account is Allscripts (easy to use) and one is TA+, also easy to use. They are very similar to each other in many ways, both web accounts, etc. Good luck and welcome aboard!
Keystrokes - Health Insurance
I think I remember that Keystrokes is supposed to be getting new health insurance that will be less expensive.  Can any Keystrokes employees tell me what is going on with that?  Do you have it yet?  How much is it a month?  I am considering a job at Keystrokes but I need the health insurance benefit, preferably low cost.  Thanks for replying.
Did Keystrokes ever get the new health insurance? NM

Just wondering.


Keystrokes Health Insurance
For single coverage:
$202 a month with $2500 deductible.

$251.30 a month with $1000 deductible
Are there companies that hire for physical or occupational therapy?
nm
the account I'm going to be on with Keystrokes...sm
will pay by the line at 8.5 cpl. I will need to make 1200 lines/day. Good luck to me huh?
Keystrokes ER account
Anyone out there who works on a newer ER account that is on ExText platform?  At first we were on just one site and after we caught that up, we were placed on another site and told they were going to change us each week between the two.  After about 3 weeks, the hospital sent KS an e-mail stating they did not have enough work for all of us and that a meeting would be held on Monday to find out what they were going to do.  It wasn't until Monday afternoon that we were told we could work again.  Is this a normal thing to happen for KS?  By the way, we were never switched over to the first site which is a great account but have been left on the second site, which is not a great account.  Do any of you know if this account is only an overflow account?  It sure seems like that to me.  Also do any of you have problems understanding some of the dictators, or is it just me?  I would love to hear from any and all who would care to share their opinion about this.  Thank you.
Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run.  I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group.  I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Keystrokes -ortho account

Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts?  Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position?  What is the testing like?  Thanks!


 


 


What platform is Keystrokes ER account?
nm
Keystrokes Docuscribe Account
Did anyone out there get hired a few weeks ago by KS for a new account that is on the Docuscribe platform (the same one that MQ uses)?  If so, how do you like that platform and how is the account?  I am very curious about this because it stated in the ad that they will be putting a lot of new accounts on that platform in the coming year.  Please share your experience thus far.  Thanks a bunch.
Keystrokes New Docuscribe Account
I asked this question last week and would like to check regarding if transcriptionists who were hired for this account feel any better about it yet?  Last week there were a lot of negative posts stating too many ESL dictators that were very difficult and they were not able to produce a good line count.  Has it improved any for you?  Also, how do you like the Docuscribe platform?
I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
Well then Keystrokes is getting some of MQ's account then. Won't be midsized for long.

Add Keystrokes to the list. I have an account with ExText. nm

how is PT account with Keystrokes? Thinking of applying..sm
I have many years of ortho, PT, and PM&R experience. Just curious in regard to KS's PT accounts... the number of dictators you are assigned and length of reports..are primary accounts available?? Thanks for any information.
Keystrokes does not overhire. There has been so much work on my account sm
that they are begging for overtime (and paying 1-1/2 times normal rate for it which is better than other companies that I have worked for!). One thing that no one can say about Keystrokes is that they overhire. They make sure we all have enough work before hiring more on an account. Yes, I have talked the owner about it so I got that information direct.

Also, I think the above poster is right. I think Becky is one of the owner's right-hand persons, her and Karen both. They are both very helpful, as is Jen who answers the phones and a few others.

They could get rid of the IS manager and a lot of us would have a party. She is horrible to deal with but I think is related to Lee or Jeff because she has been there a long time!
Does anyone know if Keystrokes has a neurology account? I just wandered about this.
Thanks
I am on a Lanier by the line rad account with Keystrokes. sm
I love the account and using a Lanier, even though I know it is old-fashioned. I also have an account with them that is by the line but uses a wav pedal, and even though I am on that account less often, it has a lot of work.
am on a Lanier by the line rad account with Keystrokes. sm
really? by the line?? is it more than 6.5? i may have to apply with them
I work on a Meditech account (not with Keystrokes)
and they have also prohibited cutting and pasting.  Just because it looks okay on your screen doesn't mean it comes out okay on their end, I guess.
I work on an ortho account. Keystrokes is just wonderful! They will help you in every way possible
and seem to really care about each person.  They have been very good to me and I am very thankful to have a job with such a great company!
Keystrokes just got an account with DocQScribe that starts in a few weeks. sm
I am set to apply there as the company I work for lost it to them. My supervisor was upset because she really tried to fix it but her boss did not care. So I am going to try to follow the account to keystrokes.
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks
nm
I just started with Keystrokes full time and am on a Meditech account. sm

I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon.   One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc. 



That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded
nm
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm

small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true? 


I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.


Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account

What is so hard to understand about that? 


Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account.  Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on.  Sounds like business to me. 


You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.

I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.

I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.

I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't

You are right about the health
insurance, it is not very good.
get health ins
You can join your local chamber of commerce and get a group rate or check what your state has for the uninsured.
Entente Health?
Has anyone heard of Entente Health? 
Does anyone have any information on HIP (Health
Information Partners)?  Consistent work?  Good platform?  Anything else?  Thanks in advance!!
Do you know how much your health insurance is? sm
I applied today and took the online test.  I am confident I did well.  I am sure, though, there are a lot of others doing the same.  I was just wondering how much health insurance cost monthly.  Do you get paid by the line or by the hour?  Are they pretty fair? 
Health Insurance
I'm also looking to Webmedx.  I was wondering if you, or someone else out there, might have an idea what the cost of health insurance for family would be.  Thank you!
TT health insurance

Are any of you taking out the insurance. I just started in October with the big hire, and should be eligible February 1, 2007, right? Anybody know.


I have also been curious about the PTO time accrued.


Does anyone know the new Health Ins rates?

Trying to decide


Health Information First, LLC
Hi, does anyone have any experience with this company out of Maryland?  I just tested with them.
Is the health insurance

a good policy. Is the premium super high.


 


HEALTH BENEFITS
ABOUT 340 PER MONTH, BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD. THEY ARE STABLE BENEFITS FOR SURE.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what companies give a pretty good rate for health insurance?  Thanks!
IC, what do you do about health insurance. sm
It is way expensive on the outside if you know what I mean.
MDI-MD have health insurance for MTs?
I'm in their site and I can't find mention of benefits anywhere?
I'm a new hire for the Occ Health...
account too. I am looking forward to getting started with them, as I have heard so many good things. In the meantime, I'm enjoying this weekend, preparing my desk, computer, etc. getting ready to get set up, and taking some time for myself to relax and enjoy some downtime (hoping that we'll have PLENTY of work soon enough).

I would like to know about the health benefits (cost) for a single parent and one child. I wonder how much health bennies will be just to get an idea as to what to plan for.

I hope to meet up with the new hires on the Occ Health account so we can help each other out if stuck, etc.

I am so excited!!! Hope to meet you all real soon!


health insurance
Amen to everything that has been posted on this ongoing subject. I too have heard promises of new insurance over and over for the past couple years.

What's worse is that employees had to answer personal questions in a phone interview for insurance that never materialized.

And why was that AFLAC phone conference manditory? After reading through the materials they sent in the mail, I already knew I didn't want to waste my money on supplemental insurance.

Finally, if KS can't find better/cheaper health insurance, why can't they at least start paying for a portion of the premiums on the current insurance plan??

These are all questions that will probably go unanswered.
