Medscribe SWEAT SHOP

In Reply to: I can vouch for this....they are horrible SM - The "real" Former Diskriter

Hey thank you so much. I have been looking for someone to validate my thoughts. They treat me like dirt. The pay is crapola. They have all these little rah rah emails and they also email everyone with an angry and cross manner when one person does something in error. I am making zilch in this dump.
For 7.5 cents a line they want you to do impossible dictators like Laredo Medical Center where you can understand nothing and if you leave a blank they get mad because there is too much in editing. They call me when I don't make the line counts and berate me UGH.

MEDSCRIBE jacksonville, turn your house into a sweat shop

They are brow beaters.


pay stinks


 


Sweat shop mentality! Time for you to leave and find a job where you'll
s
Don't sweat it. sm

It would appear that Medware is just the company of choice for bashing lately.  Everyone is tired of bashing SoftScript and MQ now and they have turned their attentions elsewhere.  It will cycle on through and Medware will be nonetheless the worse off for it. 


Don't sweat it.
I answered no when asked if nuchal meant the back of the neck because I heard back of the throat for some reason and was hired anyway. They know people tend to freeze up on the oral tests.
Don't sweat it.....
we all have those days.......actually I'm having one today!!
Do not sweat Deventure!!

I passed Deventure's test with flying colors, per someone named Dina.  Then, I received a call from Amanda, who is so nice.  After talking and grilling the account manager about running out of work, not being any work, etc, she told me her account was packed with work;therefore, on that basis, I accepted the job.  Within one lousy day, I was trained on clinics, then told I would be trained on acute care,  then was told the acute care was low, so lets switch back to clinics, then told the work was low!! etc.  GET THE PICTURE!!!  I promptly quit!!! what a mess.  I had another job waiting in the wings, in fact 2 jobs waiting in the wings.


I refuse to waste my time.  Then, the account manager had the nerve to send me an email detailing how I did not do much work that day.  I never responded to her and promptly sent Amanda a no thank you email and moved on. 


Aww, man... from the sweat shops, you mean?

Shop around
before deciding. I had worked for Transhealth and left as I got tired waiting around for work and was not going to be working outside my scheduled shift to accomodate them when there was work as I do have a life. Even if they paid 10 cpl it is not worth it, not especially if you are stuck on an ESL account as you will be pulling your hair halfway through your shift.
No sweat from my behind. I have not one complaint about this chair. nm
.
Maybe we give them the sweat off our brows-LOL

It's okay, I shop at Target enough

to make up for you and probably 3 other people boycotting.


I did hear about the Salvation Army thing but honestly, I agreed with their stance on it. 


Do you have anything you could take to a pawn shop?
My son used to pawn his electric guitars, then on payday he went and bought them back. Then when he finally matured, he pawned them and just left them there for good.
They could check your history. Best not to shop on E-bra
When I am waiting for work to come up. My PC is on the next desk.


Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

Where can we shop for supplies that aren't imported? sm
I really don't mind paying a little more, have always supported our local merchants, but just can't find everything my son needs for school, etc., locally except at Wal-Mart. I don't buy his clothing or shoes there. What major retailers sell USA products? TIA.
I wonder if this is a small shop? Surely someone here works for them.

Did you do any of the STAT work they had?  If so, may I email you?


 


No, I neither shop at Walmart or go to Disney World
Would not be caught dead at either place. Neither do I buy Levi or Lazy-Boy products since they moved to Mexico.
Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation.  Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime.  Not kidding either.   Might enjoy socializing a bit again too. 
It stops at the end of the month you quit. Shop around though, I found insurance
for $193 a month for me and the kids. Limit is 2 doctor visits each for a year, but since it is only temporary that is fine, lots cheaper than Cobra which was doing to cost me over $800
But if no union shop, no union representation
You can have a trade group represented by a union, as your husband is, but if he doesn't work in a union shop (company), the union can't represent him at his place of employment. Look at nurses, for example - there is a union for nurses, but the vast majority of nurses are not union members, because their places of employment are not unionized. So it's irrelevant to the majority of nurses that there is a union to represent them.
That's MEDSCRIBE, sorry. nm

Medscribe---RUN AWAY

BEware of Medscribe......... Listen to this.......I've had Susan interviewing and calling me for three months on an Editor position at $17/hr.  Well, after being told I did NOT get the job (even tho I was never tested), she had the nerve to call me back a week later and said the job reopened and she wanted me for it. I tried calling her and leaving messages for three days.  She never returned my calls.  I finally got ahold of her and she had the NERVE to tell me that the original person changed their mind and took back the position?  Did anyone ever hear of this?  So to all of you out there.......stay clear of Susan!!!!
Medscribe
SM, Yes it is all about me....it is about how all of us as potential hires should be treated. Besides, Ms. L did not even test for the QA position.....so the question is, was there really a position????
Medscribe
No, I'm sure she thinks ONLY about what is good for her not caring about how she plays around with other people. Sorry, but I don't have to take this kind of treatment and let her know it.
Medscribe
They're not the only one I've been working with one here in Canada and the same thing. I thought maybe it was me that was wrong but that's what they did too..mind you we got $1.50 to put up with it and work ha work we did or at least me!!!!
Medscribe
What's the story with these people? I tested before Christmas and never heard back (I know I did well).  Today they didn't answer an Email.  Should I keep on truckin'?
MedScribe
Things can change a lot in FOUR YEARS. I cannot imagine they would have been able to keep up that practice and still be around today. Maybe a person should simply ask them about the incident four years ago; you'd have nothing to lose and as an applicant, I would think they would HAVE to tell the truth about it. The problem is sometimes just ONE incident can get out of hand, repeated a little differently, and a different story could come out other than the real story. I'm not saying your friend didn't get paid. I'm just saying NO company could get away with this kind of protocol and still be in business.

Medscribe

anyone have a clue why Medscribe is constantly advertising for MTs?


 


medscribe
I don't know why, but whenever I post about this company it is not able to be found in the archives. I have posted many times about how miserable I was while working there. I didn't trust their line counter but I think worst of all was the way the talked down to me and scolded me for not making line counts which by the way... i normally could do but their accounts are MOSTLY re recorded and very VERY bad ESLs.... on top of a faulty line counter.

Medscribe
I did three weeks with them. Only filling in headers, sent to office where THEY input the macros (which we did not get paid for doing, of course) and I think I averaged about $3 per hr. A friend of mine got stiffed for her paycheck and they got threatened with illegal interstate activity because they were doing their business over state lines via phone. She got her money but it tooks MONTHS. This was a couple of years ago, but I don't think they've changed. Stay away from this place. The owner is a classical jerk.

I am interested hearing about your experiences there.  I read the story about the gal who had to sue to get paid, and before I went to work there, I asked about it.  They denied it vehemently, but in the proceeding 4-6 months, I had 2 checks that went missing.  I really do not know if it was the fault of the post office or not, but I was not impressed.  I also am not very impressed by the support system in place at this point, but would rather dish that privately.


I have been considering other employment because I always meet my minimum line count, and my quality scores seem to average in the 98% range, and I rarely take time off, but having only worked for HealthScribe (which I would almost take back right now) and MedScribe, I really don't know  what a good company looks like.  I am pretty specific at this point about what I want in a company, but it seems like they tell you what you want to hear and is not necessarily true. 


Medscribe
Does anyone work for Medscribe and if so, can I get some feedback - considering working with them.  Thanks.
Medscribe NY
thanks
MedScribe?
Anybody working for MedScribe?  If so, how do you like it? 
MedScribe

I have never heard of this company.  Where are they located?


Hope you find out the information that you need.

medscribe NJ
I would if i did have some!
medscribe NJ
Does anyone have info on medscribe out of NJ?  there seems to be one in Florida but would really like to know if anyone has experience with medscribe in NJ.  Thank you in advance.
medscribe

Wow.  I was just about to apply because their ad sounded good.  I read the archives and realize I sidestepped a mess.  I want to thank all of you for coming together and sharing your experiences so that others are forewarned.


 


medscribe?
Archives stuff is old, old.  Sounds good - 12 hour time period to work. Please, anyone know anything?
MedScribe

MedScribe does only pays between 7 and 7.5 cpl full-time IC.  There is an incentive bonus plan in place (if you are full-time) where if you fullfull all of your line commitments it is another 0.08 cpl, and they will place an additional 0.05 cpl for CMT status. 


MedScribe
A family policy will run you more like $195 per week (dental and vision extra)for the $500 deductable plan.
I like it at MedScribe
So far so good, little over 6 months.  Happy with the line rate and the insurance, my supervisor is very nice too.  They must have added some accounts because I have heard they are hiring right now.  I have not worked for the other 2 companies you mentioned, but did come from a rather big company and I like that I can call MedScribe and reach someone.  Hope that helps.
MedScribe
Hello.  Does anyone know if MedScribe in Jacksonville, FL, is a good company to work for?  Also, on another note, have "they" decided to drop the hypen from "well-developed, well-nourished?"   Thanks.       LLD       
I have been with MedScribe
they have been a fine company to work for.  I liked the training and support from my supervisor is professional.  I also came from a previous company that issued checks, so now having direct deposit is a blessing in my life.  They are OK by me, I hope that helps.  Good luck to you.  Karen.

Anyone willing to share Medscribe's acute care line rate and what their average LPH are working at Medscribe?  Thanks.


 


MedScribe
I started with MedScribe about 7 months ago and so far so good.  They have a 12-hour window to do your work within, but that is for acute care work only I was told.  The sign-on bonus is paid out $100 a pay period once you get out of training and up to speed, so that was nice too.  I have seen emails where they are starting a new hospital account, maybe they are hiring.  Hope that helps. 
Medscribe
Sorry for the confusion.  I should have been more careful before posting.  It is Medscribe, FL. 
MedScribe
I started with them almost a year ago, platform is easy to learn and you can use normals and templates for ERs, plus you are paid for all of them.  I have the healthcare only, did not take the dental or vision as I pay that myself, but the medical is a nice policy. 
MedScribe
Very happy there and like the flexibility.  Hope this helps.
