When hired as QA was asked when (schedule) I
to stick to that. Basically, have gotten on whenever I wanted and worked. As long as TAT is met, theya dont seem to have a problem with flexibility. And again, I was asked when I would be able to work, not told when to work.
Huh? I work M-F. Asked for it when I hired in 1 yr ago. nm

I asked about it when I was hired, which was 3 years ago,
and was told you have to get the laptop from them and I seem to think it was some outrageous amt like $1000, but unless things have changed, it can be done.
Was asked when hired, told them I wanted M-F...
and fortunately for me, they had M-F accounts that were a good fit for me. I've only been there 2 months but feel like I've landed in a good spot!
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
I asked when I was hired over a year ago if I could use my computer....sm
And was told no; we have to use company-provided equipment. You pay for it gradually through withholding. Don't remember quite how much, maybe 150.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
I mean the "help wanted" ad for AC's not new MT's

I don't know that it is true, I haven't asked, don't feel
like they would tell me if true. I haven't figured out the company name yet, still trying and I doubt seriously the offshoring company would tell us who their clients are. There is a ton of work, so I don't see offshoring (if it is happening) is affecting me. They have one account that is very difficult and they are unable to keep MTs on that account and maybe that account is being offshored, as it is mostly ME dictators anyway.
I know for a fact that QT management does monitor the boards and I feel like they need to address the concerns or they are going to find themselves in a bad situation.
That's just not true. I've hired and fired MTs over the
In fact, in most cases, the CMTs were the least flexible and unable to take constructive criticism. Some didn't even pass the test. At first, I was quite shocked by this but I grew to ignore the initials. Therefore, to me, those intials do not cause you to stand out. Some CMTs were grandfathered in without ever taking an exam, and to my recollection, the exam even changed at one point, so not all CMTs are on equal ground with equal knowledge. Therefore, it does not accurately portray excellence, just tells you which ones took AHDI's test. That's it.
No this is not true. I got hired in December and started 3 days later. sm
I am glad I made the move.
Is this true? I was just hired and was told 24 hours for PTO...nothing about 401K..let me know!
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Is do you do a daily log. I currently do, but
I know different accounts do things differently. The work is submitted to the client differently.
I don't know enough about the accounts to offer any help, but if she is already working then her lead should have provided this information.
Oh my GOD.... no wonder they have ads up daily. THANK YOU! NM

Emailing daily log........ sm
Do yourself a huge favor. If you don't have a scanner, buy one! I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email. You certainly don't need another screen to contend with.
...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday. I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job. The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs. The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day. I report for work at about 7 a.m. Do you just sit around all day waiting for work? Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start? We do have lives too. What would you do? No other job expects you to wait around without being paid. I must be thick or something. Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
I have never seen this in the news, which I keep up on daily.

The Daily Transcription
Does anyone know anything about this company? I am going to be testing with them, but I just wanted some opinions first.
Thanks!
I saw the daily report
yesterday that said nothing was nefarious and that this is supposedly normal. I can tell you, I do not remember it being slow at this time of year either. Part of me wonders if like someone else had posted that some of the accounts are not starting to give their work to other vendors. Another part of me wonders if they are doing this to get people to quit so they can hire on people at lower rates. I mean it would stay in line with their value of money.
It is done on the computer daily
though intranet. They should give you instructions on how to do it after they have set you up in the system.
so why are they hiring on mt daily?? nm
nm
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
They used to have a job board ad almost daily
...now you never see anything from them. Wonder if they are losing accounts.
Daily changes make me . . .
want to commit myself to a psych hospital. Driving me crazy. Acid tongue supervisor makes everything worse.
Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
whats the $$$ on that daily incentive?
How high does the daily incentive go? Please.
Thanks.
How high does the daily incentive go? Thanks. nm

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital
oh my god that work rocked! It was 95% normals and work was plentiful. Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report. Ka-ching!
Ahhhh...the salad days. I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.
Now I'm all bummed again. Where did I put that cheesecake....
Running out of work daily
We have started running out daily, a lot of the time when I sign on in the morning there is no work on my primary, maybe not even secondary. Our supervisor has asked many to switch shifts, to work the night shift and I know 10 or so have done so. It seems we were getting out of TAT in the evenings, so NOW it is over compensated and there is not much during the day, before noon, anyway. Used to work 8-10 hours OT every week, now that is down to 5-6 or less hours OT. I don't know what to do. I need my hours and some OT, too. Can't work nights.
What is their daily line count?
xx
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
MDI-MD, but you set the daily line count
x
Yes it is QA's job - and they send feedback daily
Every day, hand typed, sent to the supervisor, who then passes it onto the MT.
Of course, many of the errors are seen time and time again because the MTs either:
A) don't read the feedback
B) don't care
C) both of the above
what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule.
WHAT??? I talk to the office almost daily. sm
I lead a few accounts and have been training on a new one that starts in a few days. The phone number has not changed in 5 years and it should still forward from the old one. This site takes off phone numbers if we post them, so please email me.
Not only are they still in business, but still growing. I spoke with someone there today that said that they doubled in size last year and will this year too.
I am just excited about the new insurance!!!!!
i appreciate that and do count my blessings daily
I definately know I have a great situation job-wise. I'm also definately not one to groan and moan about life/job/bills, though I didn't really do that when I was making half of what I make now either. Sometimes I think a lot of success has to do with attitude. If I wasn't so nose to the grindstone and instead spent a good part of my time dwelling on the not so great parts of being an MT or about life in general, I definately could not be as successful or productive.
I realize that I may not be the norm, however do want everyone to know that it is possible. There are good companies out there and there are ways to make yourself successful and highly productive.
They are discussed almost daily. If you'll look through
past posts you'll get lots of info. They are in India with a storefront office in the US.
Transcend's out of work daily.
You might be able to get enough work if your hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. but there is no work in the morning and at night I watch 40 to 50 jobs disappear all at once and I have nothing left to do.
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing? I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines. I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number. Thanks for your help!
Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?
 I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe. 
Can you share what the daily line requirements are?
and maybe the insurance rates? TIA
Posts about them almost daily. Read through past
posts. They offshore. Communication horrible.
World Wide Dictation has an ad on MT Daily
for insurance claims transcriptionists. I tried Googling them and found them to be in Ardsley, NY.
Almost daily something is posted about them. Lots of info in the
archives.
no, but the acct manager gets a daily print out
are on their system, whether or not you know they are doing it...they watch. Even if you exceed your line count in say, 4 hours, they will hound you for not being on the system for at least 6.
