MD-IT Louisville Division
If you currently work for this division, please email me.  I'd like to talk to other MTs about the current situation there.  Thanks!
Info on MD-IT Louisville?
Hi... have an offer and it sounds good... wondering if anyone has any information, be it good, bad, or ugly.  TIA!

Jewish Hospital in Louisville, KY--
Has anyone worked at home for them?  How is the pay and insurance and what kind of platform do they have?
Does anyone work in the Louisville/Southern Indiana

area?  If so, do you mind saying where and how you like it?  Thanks.


 


I work with MD-IT Louisville Division, very happy-sm

I started working for MD-IT in October and it has been a fabulous fit for me!  I work in the Louisville Division, there are several others.  The work is steady, sometimes overwhelming, but manageable, at least in my accounts.  They try not to overstaff the accounts.  MD-IT share their transcriptionists across the board and if your primary and secondary run out, they can find you work elsewhere rather quickly.  The people are wonderful to work with and friendly.  Pay is average, but it is fine for me.  There is very little ESL, and what ESL there is is fairly easy to understand.  Your coordinator is just an IM message or a phone call away and very helpful.  I hope this helps.      


Anybody work at home for a Louisville area hospital?

Would you mind saying who and what it is like?


 


Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?

Any information on this company is greatly appreciated. 


According to a friend, awful, awful,
Low pay, bad accounts etc..
They used to be McCoy Business Services. I worked briefly for them when I lived in Louisville. SM

I don't remember anything specifically negative about them.  Just that the pay was kind of low and I didn't stay long because of that.  The work was okay.  Mostly local accounts from the Louisville area.


Sorry, the older I get, the shorter my memory.  I can barely remember yesterday! 


you seem to have an awful lot to say...
I still think you would be perfect for that particular company. That is my opinion. Sorry you are so awfully frustrated and upset...Maybe a career change? You have a lot of issues...
i think its awful
That a company would accuse an employee of something without 100% evidence/knowledge. Guess the original post was TRUE!
Awful!
I didn't pass either. I got a 78. I could have sworn I answered almost every answer correctly especially since we were able to use reference material. I guess that company does not want to hire that many MTs if their test is so darn difficult to pass!!!!
Awful. sm
Time clock punching that has you working at least 40 hours (even if you're hired for 35) just to get your lines in. Clocking in and out to go to the bathroom, stretch, answer the phone, breathe for fear it'll cut into your line count. Therefore, your MT work stretches out throughout the day, eating up all of your day.

Stupid, pompous, ignorant, incompetent, braggadocious upper management, with a resultant revolving door of MT managers, MTs and QA.

ASR that came with big promises and many MTs complaining of pay decline.

I would not advise anyone hire in with them until things change at the top.
That is awful

You are right, I am not just out of school.  I've been MTing for about 12 years.  I learned from my mom and then just learned on the job after that.  Never had formal training.  Anyway, that is really terrible that the schools would mislead you like that.  Even those of us who have been transcribing for many years are not getting paid close to what we should be, much less the people just out of school.


The best way to make money MTing, in my experience, has been with my own accounts.  I currently have two of my own accounts and in the past i had an entire hospital account, which really made some good money.  Even then, it is tricky finding good accounts because many of the docs don't want to pay what the work is worth.  Best of luck to you.


AWFUL!
I worked there for just over a year and quit 3 months ago. Ever since the SPI takeover, things have gone WAY downhill. Management is awful and they treat their employees horribly. They just don't care about their MTs. Tons of people have quit, including almost all of the management that was there when it was still CyMed. My manager quit a few months before I did, and the work suddenly started disappearing fast. I could no longer even come close to making a decent line count. It also doesn't help that they don't pay for spaces. The new managers put us in the awful new work pools and there was rarely enough work to go around. I would totally avoid this company!
It was awful when I was still there!
After the SPI takeover, my Cymed manager quit, then we had a temporary one, then there was a new so-called permanent one, then she resigned from the company, then we got another temporary one, and then finally another one, who was very rude and horrible with communication! I quit very soon after all of that! I have never been happier since I quit that hell hole! They couldn't even keep an elephant typing for peanuts!
Wow, that is awful!!
I can't imagine not working for and not receiving that much money!  What Steve did was very generous and Proveros should be proud of him.  It's unfortunate that his financial manager gives the company a bad taste in your mouth!
MQ may be awful
but I wish all companies had a policy like this.
Yep, CTS is awful!
If it makes you feel any better, I did get paid after I quit.  I worked for CTS back in the summer and there was always a story as to why my checks were late.  I stayed on through three billing periods thinking it would get better....boy was I wrong.  It just got worse and the checks got later every time.  I finally quit and honestly did not think I would get my last check, but surprisingly I did (two weeks late).  CTS is without a doubt the worst company I have ever worked for and my advise to anyone that might be thinking about accepting an offer......RUN and don't look back.
That's awful. Something needs to be done about

That is awful, but 75% of your pay?
You don't have much of a job left.
Awful
My experience was that the accounts that were put on Turboflow were done by their overseas workforce.  If you were lucky, you were able to remain as an editor.  In my case, after a couple of months and without notice, they decided that my account was so easy it no longer needed editing.  Just, we no longer need you to edit this account, goodbye.  I had worked on it for four years.
was awful, but to say that person must....sm

be from India reeks of racism............and THAT is wrong....just plain wrong.  The poster was probably an American MT but you unjustly attacked the post as being from an Indian MT.....


attacking the post was fine, but to probably falsely accuse the poster of being from India definitely reeks of intolerance and racism and that is not a good thing. 


just my 2 cents worth.......have a nice weekend.....


Exactly!! Awful company IMO

120 days is awful. Thanks but no thanks. nm

Awful company
Do not work for this company. Very unorganized and extremeley snotty QA manager.
AWFUL company
Please do not consider working for these people. The QA manager was so rude to me when I started. I ended up quitting right on the spot. There are better companies out there. Please DO NOT work for this company.
Awful HR manager
Jim with Zylomed offered me a job and told me he would send me my papers. I waited and waited and no papers. I e-mailed him and called him and he totally ignored me. How unprofessional is that. Company definitely sounds screwed up just like most national companies these days. This career is really making me depressed with so much crap we have to put up with! Any others experiencing this?
AWFUL company!
Beware of this Indian-run company! I worked for them just over a year ago for about a month and ended up quitting. Their account managers and QA are all in India and are, for the most part, very rude to MTs. They are also EXTREMELY hard to understand when they are trying to train you, etc. Even when you get 98% QA scores, they still harass you and tell you that you need to improve in order to get direct submission to the client. One of their tech people even yelled at me one time when I asked for help with the software when I was new. I left them immediately and went to a new company, which I have been with since. There are MUCH, MUCH better companies out there!!!
And how about that awful spellchecker?
More incorrectly spelled words than I have ever seen. Word is by far 100% better.
took the test and it was awful
I took their test and that was one of the worst doctors I've ever had the displeasure of transcribing. Has anyone else taken their test, and if so, was it bad for you, or am I losing it? I have done some pretty bad dictators in my years as a transcriptionist, but he was really ridiculous. I had blanks all over the place, and that is just not like me! I have a very good reputation for being a great MT, and love what I do. This company probably thinks I'm a moron, and wonders if I lied on my resume about my about six years of experience.
Awful company!
Don't even bother applying. Heavy turnover. Not good management at all.
Awful company!
I had horrible experience with this company and will never go back. My account manager was so rude!!!! Waste of time. Money stunk also.
That's awful.Are you sure it was deducted?

Apex is awful
I just quit working for a company that I otherwise loved because of Apex. It does EAT reports. Run away!!
Not good, not bad, but AWFUL!
:(
I don't think it's awful in this day and age, but if you had your own accounts, you'd be ma
around 11-13 cpl, at least we do in my area, but I think 8.5-9 cpl is the going rate working for someone else.
APEX IS AWFUL
Numerous problems each and every day. Constantly calling support.
Awful dictators

Awful dictators.  They cannot keep people on this ortho account.  The sound is so muffled, you cannot understand even an otherwise very clear dictator.  They do not have a website.


Vianeta was awful...
They still had Vianeta when I left, also another bad platform. The person who you were referring to as the sister (will not name) has been in and out of the office because of the issues you mentioned. I liked her, but the day I had my interview she was screaming at someone over the phone and I almost did not take the job there because of it! I think it is a good company for MTs because of the pay, if you can get an account that has good work on it.
QA position is awful...
The platform for the QA position is HORRIBLE.  Don't do it!!  You can't get any hours in, they have maybe 1 or 2 jobs that show up a day, so you can't even get one hour in.  You wait around and email people hoping to work, but there isn't any work.  Then they tell you ONE job came through and you try and jump on to get it and then the platform doesn't work or they tell you it isn't there anymore.  Total joke!  They tell you all hours are available and you can work whenever you want.  This is because you couldn't possibly have a normal schedule with a constant flow of work.  This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. 
Awful one they made themselves called beyond TXT

That is good you messed up then - awful co

To say the work that comes in from India is awful...

... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge  summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.


 


Can't even imagine this. I feel awful for you.
That is so wrong on many, many levels.  What in the world are they thinking?  I feel your pain and frustration and hope you find just the right account. 
Anyone else find BeyondTxt awful to
use?  I have used other programs that are simple to use but this one is the worst nightmare I have ever seen.  How do you make any money working on it?   Also, the training and the support is almost nonexistant. 
No way Jose!! They are awful and that's ridiculous.

The health insurance is awful, but if you like it

They're still awful! Know someone there who's trying to make
