I interviewed with them several months ago.  For level 3 acute care, I was offered 10 cpl for IC, 11 cpl over a certain number of lines per week.  For IC, line requirement was 1000 lines per week and seemed that they would be very flexible.  Use your own computer if IC.

I was also offered 8.5 cpl for employee status (with incentives depending on lines per hour worked).  I think they required 20 hours per week and have to keep an average of at least 150 lines per hour (it sounded like they had a time clock system).  They provide the computer if employee status. 

Everyone I spoke to was very nice, especially the recruiter.  I turned the offer down due to reasons not relating to the company in particular.  They did tell me that they had a lot of ESL (the test consisted of all ESL), but I don't know if this would apply to ER.  Hope this helps.     

Depending upon where you work, how long you have been there, size of the company, etc., that might be a consideration.  Also, maybe other temporary work, like Kelly Girls (if they even have that anymore).  I know we used to have temps in our office that were paid every week. 

The pawn shop idea might be a good one.  I think if you don't have the money in 30 days, you can just pay the interest or whatever.  You wouldn't lose the instruments.  If you are willing to part with someone, ebay and Craigslist can provide some quick cash.  Good luck to you.  I am my sole support, and I have been in tight situations before and know how scary that can be.  My heart goes out to you. 

I have been with Transcend for almost 6 years and while they are not a perfect company they are better than most.  There have been mergers in the past-I actually came from the other MDI (which was a much more laid back company).  As far as I've seen with past mergers you get to keep your work.  They don't take you off it and give it to someone else.  That makes no sense to have to train new MTs for your accts and you on something else.  I know you are unhappy that you have to make a change but give Transcend a chance.  They are a good company. Is it a good fit for everyone?  No, but you won't know until you give it a chance with an open mind.  And before the bashers get on and say I am management, I am not, just another in the trenches MT who has worked for other services in the past. As far as outsourcing, I know it is done but as far as I can tell it is not a lot.  I work on 2 different platforms and both have plenty of work and have had for quite a while now. 

Has anyone ever worked for OSI Transcription?  If so, are they decent?  I just did the online transcription test and am awaiting their answer. I would hate to give up my local jobs for this one and find out they are not a decent company.

Thanks,

Lynn

Anyone have any info on this company?  Anyone ever work for them?  Thank you!

use Docuscribe.  In my experience, my line counts were much higher with Chartscript, but I think any program can be told to count lines a certain way, such as weighted lines with Chartscript for difficult dictators, which made your line count higher. 

I saw your post about one year ago, and was wondering if you ever heard anything on Medwrite?  Hospital I was working for is outsourcing to Medwrite, and I'm considering working for them.  Any info appreciated.

Hi guys!!  Anyone out there got any information on US Transcription?  I am wondering what kind of company it is to work for.  Any information you can provide, good or bad, would be great.

Thanks

I am trying to decide between them and an acute care smaller company.  Does anybody know if they are a good company?

Thanks

You have a good attitude, though.  Sometimes we forget to be thankful for the things we have.  I just recently moved to another state, so I am still new to the area and everything, but before I moved, I volunteered at a local food bank once a week.  I felt kind of silly and shallow about pouting because I couldn't buy a new pair of shoes or something frivolous when there were people who didn't even have enough to eat.  (Judging by my ever-expanding waistline, that does NOT seem to be the case here!  ha)

Hope you and everyone has a very happy holiday! 

MD-IT?  I guess I am not sure how to search the archives for any information. Rate of pay would be good, platform, etc.  This one is in Kentucky.

TIA

What kinds of work types do they have, what is their usual starting line rate, is there plenty of work, etc.

Flexibility with schedules, insurance?? I know they have benefits and insurance but wondered if insurance was good. Just overall opinions on satisfaction or dissatisfaction would be appreciated.  TIA.

I have done ASRs before with Transcend and with Transcend it would have been faster retyping the report. I would like some current info on what it is like working on Precyse ASRs?  Thanks...

Merry Christmas all!
