Searched archives, but found nothing recent on Q-Med... anything out there?
I've also asked before and got no replies so I'm trying one more time.  Anyone know anything good or bad about this company?  THANKS!
Anyone have any recent OSI information?

Are benefits as good as they sound?  How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology?  How are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Any recent information on

Any recent information on Transtech??
Just offered a postition with them on new account going live in a couple of weeks.  I was just wondering how they were to work for, can you make your lines, etc.  Thanks. 
Any recent information on Transcript USA? -sm

I noticed in past posts they said they hound you when you're not working. But they're advertising a flexible schedule right now.  Is that something new?


Any problems with getting paid?  Is the pay decent?


Do they have decent accounts or are they for the most part extremely difficult?


Is their system efficient?  I'm so tired of wasting so much time keeping logs of everything and having to type patients' names and data that I don't get paid for. 


Is the sound quality good?


Is it really all American?


Any recent information on Oracle? Thanks. nm

eMTS ? Any recent information? sm
Does anyone have any recent information about eMTS?  I see that they say they were started on the ideas of the old MRC (which used to be quite good, I understand).  There were only 21 archive entries and really only 1 person responding.  I would love to hear the good, bad, or ugly about this company?  Pay, work load, ESLs?  QA?  Thank you so much for any information anyone can provide!!!!
Acusis. Could use recent information.

Here are 9 questions about Acusis.  Any or all answers would be so helpful.



  1. What platform do they use?  User Friendly? 

  2. Benefits.  Which health insurance carrier?  PPO?  HMO? 

  3. What is the deductible amount (employee coverage, no family). 

  4. Accounts:  High ESL?  Enough work?  Back up accounts?   

  5. QA:  Too much?  Too little?  Constructive or too critical? 

  6. Email communication timely? 

  7. Is hiring process drawn out?

  8. Do they provided equipment.  Does it arrive in timely fashion?  Any out-of-pocket expenses?

  9. Pay on time?  Direct deposit?  Any line rate information?  Minimum line requirement?

 


Any fairly recent Med-Scribe information?

I don't see anything more recent than 6/05 in the archives.  I think this one is in Floriday, but don't know for sure.  Web site sounds great.


 


 


Anybody have any recent information on Teletype of California?
I see a lot of old stuff back to 2005 not very good, anything current about them?

Any NEW information about Interpro? All I find in the archives arent very recent
x
Found the information in the archives, thanks (sm)

I called the phone number and it answers for Macro-Solutions.  I also checked with the BBB and sure enough they have been in business for a long time and have an excellent rating BUT the contact name is different than the name given with the BBB, but that could be because it is the HR person posting the ad.  I still think that something is fishy with it, who knows though.


 


Any new information on Transolutions. Searched and found nothing new (sm).

There were negative posts in the past about the DOS system but I understand they have a new internet based platform. 


Anyone willing to reply here or by E-mail who is working there now?  Pay, amount of work, do they match 401? 



TIA


Found the information at mtchat and got an email about pay... sm

Looks like the rubber checks have been an on going issue as there were others who had troubles in December, then those in the spring.  The pay is on a sliding scale based on production and it's low.  Starts at 5cpl for 0-5000 lines and goes up to 7.5cpl after 20,000 lines per pay period. 


I'll pass.


right now plenty of work, also plenty of ESLs.nm

Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm

MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?

Anyone with information on this company? 


They had MTs - plenty of them
The problem was - trying to keep them.  As above, checks constantly bounced.  At payday time - all the managers would disappear, as would the owners.  When this happens every other payperiod  - I think the company has financial issues.  This is not to mention,  he was outsourcing this account, about 60% of the work, half of this was sent through to the hospital as he did not want to pay editors to edit the crap.  Again, several issues.  They make everything sound great - but once you start, reality sets in and quick.  
I have plenty and then some
Hello

I have plenty with them. I work on a radiology acount though so it is not quite the same. I have a secondary acute care account, but never seem to get around to typing on it as I have so much to do on the radiology one. Most of the time the updates I get for the accounts I see fluctuate but mostly have work. I know each account is different. Etranplus has its bad points like any other company. I have certain things I do not like. I have also had way worse experiences. I have found it to be a good fit for me for 15 months now and finally got to do my first love of radiology. I wish you the best. If you need to get a secondary account and then you can decide to keep two or leave one or the other when things stabilize for you. Good luck!
There are plenty....
...but they may require that you know how to spell the word 'editing' correctly.
yes plenty what ya need
one part timer
Same here, plenty now.
Did my time card while waiting for the work to come in. Now I am buried. Feast or famine.
I'm doing ME and there seems to be plenty.
Fairly new and not sure how the MT or QA side of things might be.
you seem to have plenty
of time to post, must be due to all the cash you have socked away.
Plenty

I have plenty.

Plenty here too
A bit slow a few weeks ago, but not too bad, didn't effect my pay, just adjusted my schedule a little bit. Now have more than enough work. If you have no work for months at a time, why would you stay?

OSI has plenty of work to go around...
...but since hurricane katrina hit, things have been kind of slow. I think they have a big account in Louisiana that got hit pretty hard and it shut down. Since then they have had to move MTs from that account to other accounts. I've been running a little low on work too (just every now and then), but I like OSi so I'm willing to stick it out. I'm sure everything will get back up to speed soon.
If you have plenty of experience and don't need...
any help, they are fine.  They don't have any QA.  You are pretty much on your own.  Do your work on time, and do it well, and you'll be okay. 
Yep, I have plenty of backups, too. nm

Plenty of work...sm
I don't generally post on companies I worked for because in the long run it doesn't seem like opinions matter, for some it may suck and for others it is great.  I worked for them for a couple of years and had to leave due to needing insurance.  There was always plenty of work and if you are a hard worker, you'll make money, get paid on time, etc.  The accounts were incredibly stable and extremely easy compared to acute care. 
P.S.. you have plenty of work?

Plenty of work at MDI

Hi Freebird,  I was just passing through and saw your note.


I have been with MDI-MD for a little over a year now.  The only slowdown I have ever experienced was around Christmas and New Year's.  Right now there is plenty of work on all of the hospitals that I cover. 


I have been in this business for a long time, am a former MQer, and I just love this company.  The work is not for newbie's, but if you are an experienced acute care Transcriptionist you will have no problems.  The staff at MDI-MD are professional and gracious, the platform is the best I have ever worked with, the pay is great and always on time, and the flexibility is wonderful. I wish you luck!


I do all Ops and there is plenty work available for anyone who wants just
Ops and is good at them.  
There are plenty of jobs out there.
.
I have plenty of work.
Have you tried asking for another account?
Plenty of work

Good line rate with incentive pay and shift differential.  Good benefits.  Sick time, PTO, plenty of work.  I'm happy.  Normals are right in their platform, which is handy and helps production. 


Anyone else care to chime in?


I have plenty of work

there's plenty of work to go around....
TRS does manage a group in Guyana, but they make up a TINY portion of the total reports. NO jobs have been lost in the US to employees in other countries either. There is plenty of work available and the recruiter works constantly to find qualified MT's here in the US! Why is going offshore a bad thing if it doesn't affect the workload or TRS employees in the US??
Is there plenty of work. nm
 
Yes, there are still plenty of jobs. sm
But it's not that simple. In the employment market today, people look to keep increasing their income. We have to. My utilities have tripled over the last 10 years. By contrast, my income has gone from $42K yearly to $24K. Now, I'm not conceited enough to think I'm worth $42K part time; I told my manager they were paying too much, but he wouldn't listen and we lost our hospital department.

One of the biggest reasons for this decrease in pay is offshoring. The average MT works for about 8 cents per line. I made 6 cents 15 years ago. But they have cut so many items out of the counting software that we are having to work harder all the time just to keep the same wage.

Send it offshore for 2 cents a line, get someone to edit it for 4 cents a line, and that is just 6 cents a line, what I made 15 years ago. I can't work for that now. I made 1600 lines in 6 hours then. Platforms are so much more complicated and all extras have been cut; I can just make 1200 in the same time now.

I read an article a while back that followed an Indian MT. She made about $550 a month, that was a year's wages there. My utilities (without cable or any extras) run $600 a month.

We are cutting our own throats by making offshoring work. Many of us will not edit offshore. It is against our beliefs. It is also damaging the future of our profession.

And don't tell me that offshore works in other areas. If my clothes fall apart, I replace them. If my medical care falls apart, they'll have to replace me!
See page 2 hun plenty there
baboing!
Plenty of work
No, there is plenty of work. But it looks as though workflow is caught up and under good control.  There is no mandatory OT, it is just optional now. 
Plenty of work here.
If my primary is out, I have plenty of secondary accounts. They are always looking for people who are willing to have multiple secondaries. It's been my experience that the more accounts you know how to do, the less you run out of work. That's why I don't mind learning new accounts or work types.
Which of these have plenty of work RIGHT NOW?
Email me if you prefer.
Plenty of work here
One huge account.  I make myself available for backup for anything and nope, I am not listing my company name
