Keystrokes/medquist radiology
I am looking for a new position as a rad transcriptionist.  Does anyone work rad on Keystrokes or medquist.  What are minimum production requirements?  Are they easy to meet?  Do they let MT's go that fail to meet them?
Medquist Vs. Spheris
OK, for all you out in cyberspace who have worked at one or both companies (or just know a lot about them) here is my question: Which is the better company to work for, MedQuist or Spheris?

Curious in KY...


MedQuist is much BETTER than Spheris. sm
I don't know how you can compare the two. Yes, I left MQ for Spheris and came running back :)
medquist and spheris
i wonder if all this stuff going on at MQ means that Spheris is going to buy us, too?? I heard that is what is going to happen.
Medquist and Spheris
They deserve each other. Two wrongs won't make a right, that's for sure.
Spheris does, and I think MedQuist NM
xxxxxx
Going from MedQuist to Spheris
I did and I couldn't be happier!  I was miserable at MQ.  No work, crappy accounts, switching back and forth on different accounts I was not familiar with.  Supervisors unavailable, the list goes on and on.  I am very happy at Spheris.  I make almost double what I did at MQ!  Great account, supervisor is great.  I know others are not so happy at Spheris, but I am.  I was at MQ for over 6 years.  Have been with Spheris 2-1/2 years now.
Webmedx vs Medquist vs MTC
I'm trying to decide between jobs with these three companies Webmedx vs Medquist vs MTC...radiology.  Just wondering if anyone has input to help in my decision.  Thanks!
MedQuist/Webmedx
Who do you think is a better company to work for Medquist or Webmedx?  Which one do you think is more picky?
Webmedx or Medquist
Which is the better option?  Pros and cons for both companies would be extremely appreciated.
Medquist versus Spheris
I worked for MQ for 6 years. I was not a very happy camper most of that time. I was afraid somewhere else might be worse! Communication was bad, rental fee every month on computer, very disorganized in all aspects. Now, I've been at Spheris only 3 weeks but I can see a great difference. Very well organized, detail oriented. My supervisor does NOT call me if I am away from the computer 5 minutes or more. I think I will be very happy with Spheris. I also love the idea of changing accounts to a higher level and getting paid more for harder accounts--you won't find that at Medquist!
MedQuist and Spheris both offshore.
.
Spheris or Medquist used Dial-up
Those are about the only companies I know that use dial-up unless things have changed. Good luck!
Transcend vs Medquist vs Spheris

I could really use some advice.  I'm new here and a relatively new MT.  I'm a CMT with only about 8 months exp.  I accepted a job with Transcend last week with a good cpl rate.  I'm in training now.  I'm a little worried b/c I'm hearing mixed reviews about the company and how they are going to all edit...


Anyway, Medquist has offered me a job, but the cpl rate is 2 cents less than what Transcend is giving me.  I'm not happy about that.  If you were in my position, would you stay with Transcend or go to Medquist? 


Also, I got an email today from Spheris that they want to interview me.  I don't know what the cpl rate is yet.  I have heard good things about them.  Should I accept with them? 


I'm so confused.  I don't want to burn my bridges with Transcend b/c what if they turn out to be a decent company?  I am getting a good rate with them.  But Spheris seems really appealing to me...


Any advice?? 


Medquist versus Spheris
So, do Medquist and Spheris both send work to India? Yikes- I am trying to avoid applying for work with a company that is pro offshoring. Any ideas of a good company to work for? I have 10 years multispecialty experience, not enough work, already with a small pro-India company who takes away from the Americans and gives the accounts to India employees, trying to get more work with a new company.
Webmedx,Diskriter,Medquist...nm

Medquist dosen't operate the way Spheris does. sm
You cannot even compare the two and believe me I know.
Webmedx and Precyse and Medquist. Regarding their insurance (sm)
Do you have to maintain X number of lines per hour to qualify or just X number of lines per payperiod?  Is the family coverage affordable and decent insurance? 
Spheris and MQ but you won't get the radiology sm
work that KS does. I think they have the most. I left twice and went back. Glad I did.

Did they not hire you? Do you have the right experience? If so, that's where I would go.
spheris radiology
What platform will you be using? I think that makes the biggest difference.
Well since MT stars is global you will see Spheris, Medquist, Diskriter, etc. posts sm
so if your going to be unemployed because of offshoring that is to bad. The majority always think of India when it comes to offshore but the Philippines, Australia, Europe, etc. also transcribes.
Webmedx radiology anyone? How...
is the platform?  How is the pay?  What about work load?  Any info appreciated.  TIA
Webmedx Radiology
I posted before but got nada.  Can ANYONE?? please give me some information about Webmedx and their radiology accounts before I jump ship with my current MTSO and go with them?  I'd really appreciate it. 
Webmedx radiology MTs
Could you let me know if you have enough work and a ballpark figure on what I can expect to make per line/report with them?  Also, do you have to work strictly certain hours or do they go by lines?   Is it possible to make $600 weekly?  I hear a lot of good things about them and I am thinking of applying.  TIA
Webmedx radiology MTs, sm

I filled out the online application, took the test.  I received an email with several questions, and that they're interested in me.


Please email me with your experience as a rad MT with this company.  Is pay per line, report, etc.  What platforms they use.  By looking at their website, it looks like they don't offshore.  Please, any information would be helpful.


Thanks

TIA....


Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?

Anyone currently working Webmedx/Transhealth radiology would care to share info on them - sm
Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website?  If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window.  Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted.  TIA. 
Spheris? Webmedx?
Anyone,  need input..Which is better, Spheris or WebMedX? 
WebMedX/Spheris?
WebMedX or Spheris?  Both seem about the same with what they have to offer.
Spheris vs Webmedx - HELP

Has anyone ever worked for both Spheris and Webmedx and if so, is it truly easier to get a better line count at Webmedx?  The benefits sound better, but the line rate is a little lower.  Any help appreciated.  THANKS!


1 = MQ 2= Spheris 3=Webmedx
nm
Spheris and Webmedx
They both require a deposit that is taken out of your first few checks, and you must keep the box to return the computer when you leave the company.  Don't know if either of them is hiring right now though.
Spheris/Webmedx
Close associate used to work for them. Very dissatisfied she moved on to Webmedx where things are even worse. I don't know that any of these companies are worth working for.
Transcend,Spheris,MDI-Fl, Webmedx have nothing on MQ. sm
MQ platform rulesssssssssss
Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time.  I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me.  Blown chance!  I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead.  The test reports were easy enough for me to do.  I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them.  I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule.  I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, Spheris

Can anyone give me current information on working as a QA for TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, and Spheris?  Do they pay hourly? How do they test? Employee or IC positions? Workflow? Do they require 100% listen on all reports or are some fill in the blanks?


Are there any companies you would recommend for a QA position and can you please provide above-requested info?  


Thank you all for your help and kindness in providing any information possible.

Who's best all around company; Transolutions, Spheris, Webmedx,Transtech?

I left EDiX/Spheris after 8 years there to come to Webmedx. SM
I moved over here in 2003 because I knew the recruiter and she told me it was a great place to work. She was right. The benefits are fair, the work plentiful, the bosses fantastic, and the QA staff wonderful. Good luck!
Yeah she's happy. She was a recruiter for Spheris, now for Webmedx.
