Found link to press release
http://www.culbro.com/pdf/OSiPressRelease.pdf
Well, I already had one company I worked with earlier this year bought by an Indian company and basically left them. Now, we have OSi backed by this family who invests in US and INDIA, of course. I'm going to wait until after my next big vacation and then bye bye OSi.
You did not give your email or the link to it. nm

here is the release sm
ATLANTA – Atlanta-based medical documentation services provider Webmedx announced
today that it has acquired Medical Transcription Education Center, Inc. (M-TEC), the leading provider
of distance learning and education programs for the medical transcription market. In 2005, M-Tec was
the first program approved by the Approval Committee for Certificate Programs (ACCP), a joint
committee established by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the
American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). The acquired company will operate
as a wholly-owned subsidiary and remain located in Fairlawn, Ohio.
M-TEC’s executive team of Susan Francis, President and Kathy Kropko, Chief Operating
Officer will continue to run the business. “M-TEC has an industry-best reputation for a reason. We plan
to build on this and assist the management team and their accomplished staff in meeting the expanding
needs of the clinical documentation market,” says Sean Carroll, Webmedx CEO.
“It has been proven that a solid education is the catalyst for a productive and effective workforce.
M-TEC’s history of successfully training medical transcriptionists, matched with the Webmedx standard
of excellence, will promote an even greater job-ready learning environment. We are excited about the
opportunity to work together to offer the highest quality training and support for the medical
documentation industry as a whole. We believe this joint effort will benefit students, graduates, and
employers for years to come.” Susan Francis, CMT, AHDI-F
Carroll stated M-TEC will continue to work closely with trade and professional associations in
the sector to develop innovative educational and training programs that are relevant. He further
committed that the company will continue to produce the highest quality graduate possible and promote
employment opportunities broadly across all employers.
“Our strong belief is that new roles and related skills must emerge in today’s workforce to
augment the obvious progression of technology,” Carroll states. “M-TEC has the talent and experience
to lead this charge within our sector. It’s a natural business combination. Both companies share a
dedication to providing top-shelf products and services and have genuine interest in the industry’s
future,” he said. “Aligning quality with quality always makes sense.”

You don't need to a sign a release for them
They release you from QA early because they
to review the reports correctly. It is sad. You get what you pay for. Plus you can type all you want from the first day with no regard to quality and I wonder how many slip through without going through QA first?
Waiver/release is unenforceable
Regarding that waiver, have your attorney look at California's Civil Code Section 1668.
California Civil Code Section 1668 reads: All contracts which have for their object, directly or indirectly, to exempt any one from responsibility for his own fraud, or willful injury to the person or property of another, or violation of law, whether willful or negligent, are against the policy of the law.
Meaning...the law says...such a waiver/release CANNOT even be enforced against the California MTs/employees even if they signed it. There are quite a few Federal cases under Title VII, as well as California cases, that your attorney can look up.
Good luck!
Where did you read that press release?
I would like to read it too.
We just had a press release emailed to us. nm

what is scary is when they threaten to release
confidential information, basically extortion. I guess what I meant in regard to offshoring the work is when they have depleted their staff, what other option will they have?
could lawyers have gotten a court release? NM

There was a press release and phone conference. nm
nm
sign a release saying she wouldn't take Transcend to court ?
What is that all about? Is that true? Why?
I guess my bank is different. If they release the funds on Friday, they are sm
in my account on Monday morning, usually by 4 a.m. when I check my balance. I appreciate you understanding. I too live paycheck to paycheck, unfortunately, and some times a day or two make a HUGE difference. I guess I was spoiled because they used to pay a couple of days after the end of the pay period, then they went to this manual line counting stuff, and you never know when it will be done.
Fortunately, I did get my line count last night, so I'm crossing my fingers for Monday, but probably not Tuesday ... sigh. I will get a paycheck from my new job soon, which has set pay days where it is promised to be IN my account, so that will help a lot.
As I said before, it was not an attack on the company. Mostly I was venting because as much as I have enjoyed the work, when I have it, I hate living in limbo.
"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
where is the MQ link
I do not see the MQ link to the left of the page anymore. Was it moved?
MQ Link
To sm:
I am sorry for my post. I did not really see the Medquist menu at the left margin as of the time I posted my suggestion. It seems the link has been deleted for some time, as some viewers have just complained.
Thanks,
jgl
see link below
It's an SE position. Fortunately I'm a vet and can get my healthcare at the V.A. I'll figure something out later, but right now I need an INCOME since MQ has messed me up royally. I may have other places I could find health insurance, maybe through the small business organization or something. Ill miss my PTO, but, hey, nothing is perfect :)
no link for me
Since the boards went through an update (about the time the MQ board was made) I haven't been able to see any specialty boards listed on the left anymore, just Top, Home, and Contact. I have to go to Home to see the list of the specialty boards and for some reason MQ board is not even on there with the others.
Try this link.
When the link opens up, look on the left-hand side under News & Info, and there is a section called message board. If this link doesn't work go to yahoo.com and click on finance. When the finance page opens up, type trcr at the top of the page where it says enter symbol(s). The message board link will be on the left-hand side of that page too.
Link to another link. Look for changes soon

Here's a link when I was asking about them
a while ago. I did contact them and told me only full-time positions but that's all I really asked about so don't know anything more. You might get some hits if you put the name in the Google search at top and click on search MT Stars.
Here's a link.
This has a couple of them.

AHIMA looked into it, suggested everyone do VBC and why. Clients, I suppose, would be the ones to insist on VBR because they can check bills for accuracy.
However, read this one addressing all from MTs voice in the matter, you will love it:
