TIA


MedScribe (Indiana)
They have an ad on the Job Board.  Is anyone familiar with them. Pros and cons, please.  Thank you.
Medscribe in Indiana and Medscript Transcription Service out of Wisconsin
Does anyone know anything about either of these companies?  Also, what does one need to be an IC; that is tax forms, etc.

Hi.  Considering applying at Mediscribe because of their 12-hour window.  Can anyone tell me if they hire part-time?  I definitely want to test drive before making a permanent switch.
MediScribe
Thank you.  Yes, that info helps.  I wonder what the logic is for not allowing that window of time for part-timers as long as they commit to x-amount of lines.  Either way, the 12-hour window seems like a win-win situation in the world of MT.  Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Are these two the same company?  I've seen individual job openings for each one together and apart?  I've applied to both companies individually and have been contacted by Tonya.  I'v not been able to in touch with her and don't know which company she is from.

MD-IT South Bend Indiana
Anyone know anything about this company?  I have been an in-house Transcriptionist for the past 14 years.  I was just told today that my job is terminated as of 08/31/07.  They are going with MD-IT, and said that this service is interested in employing all four of the in-house transcriptionist.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Data Med Northwest Indiana
Anyone familiar with this transcription service?  They pay by the minute, is this good or bad.  I have never been paid by the minute.
Nobody ever posts there, my state anyway, Indiana. nm

So we can sue Indiana for the loss of our jobs?
If the state is funding this thing, then they should be held responsible for any jobs we lose.

Does anyone work in the Louisville/Southern Indiana

It is in Indiana, and you had to live within driving distance. n/m

They must be confusing themselves with someone..

else..they are the ones that posted this ad on the job board:


Keystrokes has an opening for a radiology MT.

We supply the tower and the footpedal. You supply the monitor and the keyboard and the high speed.

This is a lovely account, clear and concise dictators, fast, but good. Platform is MANTIS, experience preferred, but not required on this platform.

Pay is by the report.


Yes, it is confusing ... sm
MDI-FL is different. They are also a great place to work, and their website is medicaldictation.com. You might want to look at them, also. The two are not affiliated in any way, only their initials are the same!
Thanks, it seemed a little confusing. nm
 
It is confusing (sm)

I think we can look to other industries as a possible example. 


Imagine you need someone to paint 2 rooms in your house.  You speak with a man on Monday and let him know that you need your living room and kitchen painted by Friday 8 p.m., as you have company coming from out of town.  You both agree and create a contract that states his pay ($300), 2 rooms need painting, and the deadline to complete the project.  The end result:  Two rooms painted by Friday 8 p.m. for $300.  The homeowner has a right to specify the end result, but is not managing his hours.  If the homeowner had no control, the painter could finish whenever he wanted.  This would make no sense.  So, the homeowner would have someone come to paint with no idea when it would be finished or how many rooms would be painted?  In MT, the end result could be total lines, number of tapes, etc. 


confusing...
It is really confusing, the whole thing, which is why I left.  Everyone is sad, myself included, that the Indian team leads are being let go as well.  They were great to work with and I do know for a fact that they are being replaced with American team leads.  It is confusing that they let the American QA team go in the first place, and from they way it sounds was without warning.  They now have a forum board on Yahoo groups for the MTs to voice concerns and to stay informed.  That was a good move on their part.  If things get better I would like to go back part time.  I guess time will tell the outcome.  Focus was my first company and I wish them the very best.
It is confusing, and while not for the . . .
most part going to change the meaning, I do find it very confusing.  I do use Stedman's and Dorland's as the most reliable sources on these issues..
All so confusing!!!
Wow.
Anyone work for Advanced Medical Transcription out of Indiana?
Do they pay on time?  How is the software.  Do they pay twice a month or every other week?  Any information would be helpful.  Thank you!
The Indiana and KY numbers are routed to India. I do not know how it works, sm

but when they would call from India, the number showed up as a KY or IN number, even though indeed they were in India.


They are basically nice people to deal with.  I am just amazed and a bit outraged that they would lie to people in their ad.  It shows a lack of respect for us as MTs, I think, to try to deceive us in such a manner.


I was referring to the one in FL. Sorry if confusing....NM

WMX call very confusing
She just went round and round about how much more money we as MTs are making since we are so much more productive with the ISR, yet the example she gave had the MT making $100 less!  I just don't get it. So disillusioned. Their coldness and statistics make me ill.
I think perhaps you're confusing them with another company?
They pay extremely well - higher than any other company I've been able to find.
Sten-Tel....this is getting confusing....please read
Yes, the previous poster below is right, I am referring to the job ad that they had for cardiology and pathology, not the platform or the franchise.  It's the company out of Springfield, MA that I am talking about.  I appreciate some of the feedback I got so far.  It seems that those who are working for them out of MA are happy with their jobs.  I was given an opportunity to work for them as an editor/transcriptionist and all I wanted to know is if they were a decent company to work for.  So, if there are anymore Sten-Tellers out there, I would love to hear from you.  Thanks.
Your moniker is Overseas MT, which is very confusing.

Your post was fraught with errors.  You didn't even get the gender of the owner right. 


I realize this is a message board, people write quickly and are bound to make typos.  Many of your errors simply weren't typos, though.


If I were an MTSO reading your post, I don't think I'd invite you to work for me.  Sorry. 


I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized

The archive searches here are confusing.
But when I put 'davis' in the second search box down (not the top one, with Google, etc.), just to the right of the ''Post a new message'' button, I got plenty of results.
I think the confusing issue here is the term

Maybe access is a better word.  For instance, I have access to certain accounts for my online company.  As an IC for them, I have no quota to meet, I draw from the pool of dictators.  Now, I have agreed to take on certain dictators that no one else seemed to want to do.  But, if something comes up in my workday, as an IC, I just e-mail the company and they find someone else.  It's that simple and it works great.  Other than that, I draw from the pool of dictators that I have access to for that MTSO. 


Assigned means no help from any other MTs; it's all you and when a company assigns you work they should actually be paying you as an employee not an IC.  An IC works piece work meaning each and every sound file is a job or a service you have provided to that company.  You are an MT that provides your skills and they pay you for that service.


The only thing I've found that's difficult in this biz is naming your price with the online MTSOs as an IC.  They seem to name the wage; so that part is tough. 


If it is an ongoing relationship, it's also important that you think of this client and/or MTSO on a file by file basis.  One voice file is a job and so on.  There are other MTs in place at the company I work for that will step in and take work, so the downside is that I have to be on my toes if I want more than just what I have agreed to do on a regular basis unless something comes up.


As an IC, I have my own personal clients as well.  But, I consider the online MTSO one of my clients, so I service them all in the same fashion.


In actuality, my own clients are the money makers, and the online MTSO is filler and works very well for me since there are no set hours, no set line quota, and I can not work at all on any particular day.  As a courtesy, I let them know if I'm taking time off, but I really don't have to do that if I don't want to, but I like to because I know that TAT is important.  I respect them and they respect me.


I think you're confusing the deductible with the premium. sm

Family coverage is not $1000 a month in premiums. 


TTS has a very low starting pay & a confusing bonus scale. nm

To make it confusing, there is also MedScript Services, Inc., and

I guess what is confusing is why keep running new ads if you already have too many resumes
Obviously, they didn't find what they were looking for and are seeking to get more applicants.  I have sent in several resumes to different companies recently and some I have not heard from at all and some did not response for another week or two, but in any case, they did not repost an ad every few days.
This whole IC Transcend thing is totally confusing to me!! sm
I read this board pretty regularly and I recall a few days ago somebody saying how they got an email threatening termination because they were not making the PT status.  When the company I was with was bought by Transcend somebody asked about IC and they said they only did PT and FT, no IC.  Since they bought MDI there is all this talk about them now offering IC.  I am just questioning this because it seems to me they might expect someone who is an IC to actually work PT status, of course with no PTO earned or anything else.  Again, this all just does not make sense to me especially if what a read a few days ago is true and somebody got an email threatening termination unless they made enough to be PT status.  I guess I am just wondering if anybody else has gotten an email stating that they needed to make PT status or might be terminated??
