I love the company I work for and I just wanted to share
that with you all so that if you are not happy, realize there is hope out there.  I worked for Healthscribe/Spheris for over 2 years until I found this position.  I am a SE for MDI out of Maryland and I make 10 cents per 65 character line including spaces.  This is a great smaller company that does not offshore.  I am left alone to do my work but I have somebody there if I need any questions answered, etc.  QA is wonderful too.  They didn't dump me into an account full time, they let you ease into your account over a 2 week period doing 5 reports a day so you can work your other job until you are taken off of QA.  I was off QA in a week.  My account is great, the platform is great (Bayscribe), production Expander is user friendly.  For all you unhappy MTs, there is hope out there. 
Re MedScribe in Fla. Can anyone share insurance info for emp/spouse coverage? SM

I am especially interested in rate, copays, deductible, and prescription coverage, if possible.  Thanks very much!


 


The company should pay its share..
now THAT'S a benefit.
Could you share the name of the company
either on the board or privately? I only ask because I'm currently looking for some fill-in work and have been doing some tests. They're involved and take time, as you know, and if that's all they're offering after all that, I'm wondering what company because I want to steer clear. I have a test sitting waiting for me to do it, but maybe it's the same company?
So why not share the company name . . .
and save the rest of us from the potential agony.
Would you care to share the name of the company?
and any other specifics like line rate range?
How can I check this, and can you share the name of the 2nd company? nm

Care to share the name of the company?

Is it a National?  How many MTs (educated guess is fine).  You can E-Mail me if you prefer.  I am just curious to find out how many companies have MT friendly QA staff.  Thanks. 


I share your grief over the same company sm
I finally decided that since I need the insurance at this point I will keep a part time job. I have been spending so much of my day waiting on work or stuck in something that doesn't make any money. I think they hire so that everyone can only have their minimum and nothing more. The push for speech is really getting to me, especially since the program is not very good. I keep hearing how I can double my income if I will just move to speech. Hardly. Then again, I am the kind of MT who sets up the document, but once in it I can put my foot on the pedal and rarely take it off. I can type much faster than I can edit a voice document. Add to this that the voice stuff is not actually being edited at all and it looks like what my pup leaves in the yard.

I found a company whose philosophy is that VR is a joke and they won't be going there. I start this week and if I prefer it, I'll find my own insurance and go to work for them full time. Seems if you work full time you don't have to work weekends there.

I was one of those who praised this company and I apologize to all of you. I wish I had kept my mouth shut.
Would you care to share the name of the company
What a total rip-off.
Please share the name of the company so others may investigate this opportunity!

Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
 
Can you share what small company you found (sm)
that offers benefits (even if it is more costly).  It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance.  Thank you so much in advance.
I hope you'll share the NAME OF THE COMPANY
I know I certainly wouldn't want to make the mistake of ever applying for a job there!
I just went broke because of a company and would love to share their name

We take a job expecting some semblance of constancy. We are not teenagers living at home.

And I have yet to meet an MT who does this for free, as a hobby, 40 hours a week.

Here we are, in the U.S., where insurance is expensive, the economy is mutilated and dirt cheap labor is just across the deep blue sea.

Some whine more than others but this Gourdpainter, I have been reading her for a long time, and from the tone of her posts, she is not a (an?) habitual complainer. She is helpful and considerate in her posts to new MTs and others who have a question.

United we Stand, Divided we Fall.

Just like the coal miners back in Pennsylvania, the company will let you eat coal dust all day long to save themselves the cost of ventilation, and then fight to not have to pay for the medical costs of an aging coal miner with black lung and ashen colored skin. No one made him go down there, I know, I know, but a man has got to feed his family. Work is work, you take what your skills will get you.

Fair enough - Some huge corporation is going to sue someone over a thread on the internet. This is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Have you read message forums elsewhere on here? There are disparaging remarks made about everything under the sun.

Word of mouth travels far and wide, and so does the truth.

So give us a break and let us make enough money to live a respectable life in this job which we do with steadfast dedication if we make it over 3 years.

Kindness reaps kindness. Consideration for the MT - For instance:

Supervisor: Gee Susie, work load is light these days, and your paycheck reflects that. How are you doing? Are you able to make ends meet? How can we remedy this in house or outside of this company so you can have an income you can rely on?

MT: Thank you. I would appreciate that very much. I am down to a few nickels after I pay the bills and am beside myself with worry. The anxiety sends me to MTstars where I vent in hopes of finding others who understand the DREAD AND FEAR I AM EXPERIENCING because I WORK ALONE ALL DAY LONG,without my comrades to take breaks with or have lunch with WHERE THIS TYPE OF VERBAL EXCHANGE WOULD ORDINARILY TAKE PLACE.


Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?
.
Needed on PTC or Professional Transcription Company. Please Share!
x
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
;P
In my opinion, this is not a good company.
Based on my experience there, I would venture to say that people are leaving. There seems to be lots of unfriendly team leads. My Indian team leads were great, but unfortunately they got rid of them.

There is no paid time off. Management is poor.
Opinion on the best company for CLINIC transcription
TIA
Opinion: Small company vs. larger one?

Just looking for opinions on the positive side and/or negative side of a small company vs. a larger one.  Help me out here....please!


I can only assume that the company which has not responded is either of the opinion that (sm)
if you are seriously interested in the position, you will find a way to take the test -- wav pedal or not, or just haven't had time to respond yet.  I've tested without a pedal and, while yes it is more time consuming, it can be done. As far as the dial up is concerned, I would think that if sent them an email requesting their system requirements, the information would be divulged, within a day or so.
Why is it that there is always someone that has to be nasty. Every company, every opinion. Geesh.

Wish they would share this work with
everyone - I'm out of work, just sitting here again. I ask for backup accounts, because I'm willing to type anything, and always get the work is low everywhere answer. Wish these new accounts would get going already.
Can you share where you work? TIA (nm)
nm
What company is good in your opinion if Spheris is the worst? (nm)
nm

Thanks
Medscribe owns another company too

I think it may be Southscribe.  Does anyone know?  I cannot recall the name of the other transcription company they own, but it is definitely in Georgia.


 


 


feedbacks on MedScribe company pls

Hi!  Does anybody here worked or is woking at MedScribe?


Will you share what your problem is with QT? I work there, too. Maybe I can help. nm
xx
Care to share where you work?
I've been looking for a hospital work from home for here in NJ and not having much luck.  Is the hospital in your own state?  TIA
Probably because most of us are expected to do our share and work at least one sm

day of the weekend, at least once or twice a month.  It doesn't bother me to work weekends.  I grew up with my mom in the medical field so the idea that I would be off on weekends never really occurred to me.  I do not have a family or anything, so I only have me to consider.  I usually work holidays too so those who have families can maybe spend some extra time.  Still, that is me.


If that schedule works for you and the company is happy (which would seem to be the case here), that's great.  I wouldn't mind working 10-hour days and having an extra day off, but not sure that is possible with all of the jobs I am juggling right now.  Still, we all can dream. 


Again, I am glad you have a good situation for you.  Congrats! 


Thanks, and for the record, I do my share of work too.

MedScribe in Florida is a good company
MedScribe in Florida is a great place to work, you will find many posts in the archives.  There are several other places that call themselves MedScribe but they are not out of Florida.  The one in Florida has been around since 1992, I have worked there for 3 years and they pay on time with direct deposit every other week and the insurance is affordable and a good plan. 
I believe that the Medscribe out of Florida is a different company than the one out of New Jersey
but I could be wrong... I applied with the one out of New Jersey and there never seems to be anything on here about them, which to me is a good sign. This was for an Dictaphone account also.
I love Radnet. Can you share who you are going to work for on this? s m
or where the hospital is? I miss transcribing radiology in RadNet and am desperate to get back to it!
Anyone work for Milner in Atlanta who would share your experience? Thanks! nm

Work for MQ and would rather share with you all than our ILP (international labor partners). sm
Actually I bet after seeing this on here a lot of MQers will be trying to get on at DSG. We both use Docuscribe and that is certainly a plus IMO.
Anyone work for Spheris doing VR? Could you share experience, pay, line count etc..
Also, what are the benefits like i.e., medical insurance etc??
Anyone with work experience to share on All Type? Choice time once again.....sm
and very happy holidays and merry christmas to everyone out there!  TIA! 
Think his/her point was the share of the WEEKEND work. What makes you so special? sm

Everyone else has to work a weekend at least every now and then.


Have to agree. Scratching for work at times. Don't want to share with any more new hires if I d
Sorry if that sounds selfish, but I don't think new hires want to come on board and find the pickings are slim right now either.
I work with a rescue group so I get my share of fuzzy feelings
I financed a group to get it started, paying for the animal's care, vet bills, medicine and still do the financing. I also take my money and help others out. I just sent some money yesterday to a MT whose has a son who is in dire shape and she wants to go be with him. Not too long ago I read on here about a lady who needed help in buying a foot pedal. I sent her money for that so basically you don't know what you are saying when you say help others out. My mother said I did this from a very young age and I continue to do the same. I also take care of me, though. As far as a sugar daddy, never wanted one. I have a chef husband and a housekeeper. I work, travel, rescue animals, help others out when I want to. Priceless. End of conversation.
Anyone work/ed for Archivus? Opinion Please? NM No message

anyone work for Medscribe
Good bad any help you can give.  Co I just switched to is getting crappy fast.  Tired of playing games...Any info appreciated like platform, phone or internet, you know the standard stuff
MedScribe ER work
keep my line count around 225-250 per pay period, with the bonus they pay that equals about $19 - $20/hr.  I previously worked for a much larger company typing acute care work and never made that much.  They are nice people and are bringing on more work.  Maybe typing ER work is not for everybody but I have bills to pay and enjoy the steady pay. 
Medscribe, anyone work there..sm

or know anything about them?  I don't care about insurance as I already have that.  I'm mostly interested in how much they pay and if they have enough work.  I've been an MT for over 11 years and do not want to waste the time taking the test to find out they only pay 6 or 7 cpl.   


Any other info about platform, QA, etc. would be much appreciated.  Basically anything anyone knows and would be willing to share other than insurance info would be great. 



I work for MedScribe

I started at MedScribe 3 months ago and things have been going along quite well.  The people seem to care and I like my account, this is such a change from the rather large company I left to work for MedScribe.  I just signed up for the healthcare benefits, all of the paperwork arrived as promised and on time.  I hope that helps.


I work at MedScribe
I would normally give you a thumbs-up for this company, as I have always liked working for them, but I've been having a real problem with a lack of work lately. I'm not going to speculate on the reason because I really have no clue. That's about all I can say for now, as if there is a lack of work, the other info is moot, IMO.
Does ne1 work for medscribe and do you like them?
Do you work for medscribe and if so do you like them?
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
