I worked for Rider. What P'd me off was..
there was absolutely no mention that I would actually be working for Focus and that it was owned and operated by a company from India.

Thanks for the info on these other companies - I would never work for one of them.

As for other MT's, stop supporting these companies that offshore!! Don't you realize you are cutting your own throat?!
Rider & Assoc.
I sent a resume to Rider & Assoc. about two months ago, they did contact me but were taking on some new accounts before hiring anyone just yet. If you have any info about this company, please let me know. Are they a good company? Thanks amj
Fellow IP train rider here. For why pay was off,
I worked there and had personal friendships with a couple of the acct managers and team leads.  We were not getting paid for spaces. That is what I was told by middle management.

MT Smith Goes to Washington

Fifty independent American MTs are traveling to Washington in two weeks to present proof, to health care administrators, patient omsbudsmen and members of Congress (who are patients themselves), of the horrific quality of overseas medical record transcription, revealing the before U.S. MT QA product which MTs see returning from Hindia-Pakiland every day. 

 

This information, along with video, audio and documented printed proof of government instability amid the newest of terrorist attacks in and around the offshore countries, has allowed very strong case to be presented to a very interested audience.

 

Wish us well.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
As a QA person, please also stress the need for better education for MTs trained in the U.S. In my many years as an editor, I have seen an awful lot of junk produced right here at home. We need more quality 2-year Associate Degree programs and better pay in order to attract quality people to MT.  We have to dispel the image once and for all that MT is an easy job that can be done at home by anyone with a computer and, oh yes, make a lot of money at it.  The bottom line is pay.  People are not going to work for the kind of pay that is offered now, especially when they find out how much manure they have to put up with.  Two of the three schools offering MT training where I live are dropping the program for lack of interest and because they have determined there is no future in it. I wish you much luck and thank you for being willing to stick your neck out.  We all need to do that.
looks like a good job...in washington, if anyone lives there...

Washington County, IN- near Paoli Peaks Ski area
Hello friends - I didn't see this email yesterday but I'll respond anyway. I have worked as a Transcriptionist for the past six years. The first two years I worked for a local doctor until the office was re-vamped and all the work went to one person. I started looking around and found SecureMTSource out of Louisville. I have been employed with them for around four years and have only good to say. It is individually owned but is growing pretty fast. Pay is on time. My work comes from a general surgery group, any 1 of 50 doctors with only one ESL who I very rarely get. My line rate is great (if I compare it to things I read on this site). I recommend them!!
ScribeRight Transcription out of Washington...any info on this company?
xx
HAHAHAHAHA! Washington PROMOTES offshore work, not just in transcription. sm
The biggest disappointment to me is that AAMT/AHDI really does. Most of the big MTSOs use offshore, I am just small potatoes. I do not know if any of the biggest ones do not.
The MTs joined the same union as the nurses' in a hospital in Washington State sm
I can't name the hospital for confidentiality reasons; however, they truly is their payscale and benefits.

Also, there are unions in California Hospitals also. Those MTs also joined the same union as the nurses. Go figure.

Also, these MTs are at home employees. No kidding!!

Honestly, do your homework and you will see that this is the truth. Some hospitals are willing to pay and have union workers.


Yip & Associates
Has anyone heard of this company - Yip & Associates, Longwood, FL?  Good or bad?  Thanks
Yip & Associates
Any reasons?
Anything on RCR Associates? sm

They contacted me about a month ago.  They mostly  handle radiology using the Meditech system.  At the time, I had just started PT with a small company but I would really like to get into radiology as 1/3 of the work I do now is radiology in Meditech and I like the pace.  Does anyone out there work for them?  Can you give me some info, rate of pay, pay on time, etc.


Also, what about Keystrokes radiology?  They have an ad for many rad positions.  Does anyone know their rate of pay?  I would really like to know if it is worth the trouble to go through all the testing and interviews.

Radiological Associates of Sac
I just noticed that the company I work for has a posting on the job board.  I wanted to let anyone interested that this is a great company.  The best I have every worked for.  The docs are great and really care about us (we all just got a 10% raise this year).  Anyone interested in an employer that REALLY CARES I highly encourage you to apply.  After training I'm sure you can work at home.  Our companywide empoyee meetings are held at the Radisson or Hilton and are dinners.  We have a profit sharing plan.  Please any productive team players apply for this job, you will not be sorry.

Medical Transcription Associates
I just received an offer to work for MTA (Medical Transcription Associates), a small transcription company from Northern Virginia, as an independent contractor. Does anyone know anything about them? The president of the company has been in contact with me numerous times and seems very nice and like a good person to work for, but I need to know if anyone out there is currently working for them or has had an interaction with them, either negative or positive. Please let me know. I already got screwed over by ATSI and I don't want to get screwed again!

BEWARE OF TRANS AM ASSOCIATES/MT PROFESSIONALS

Ok everyone if you ever get any emails or communication from a company that is same as the car trans am and associates also their software works with MT Professionals DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT EVEN BOTHER!!!!!  They are the biggest fraud and rip off company on the internet.  They are based in Valrico, Florida. 


They will say you can learn free etc etc and they claim to be Christian based etc.  They are so rip off.  You have to buy the software first which is over $500. total.  You do practice files they say everyone has to whether your an entry level or a pro at transcription.  Then you finish and if you finish before their two week minimum requirement you have to wait to download the next group sometimes a week or more.  Then after you do 4 groups you test and you may pass the test but they will say you have errors whether they are formatting, spacing, spelling, punctuation, etc.  It is a gip cause you actually probably don't have those errors.  Plus, they are not consistent at all regarding punctuation. 


So PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT HAVE CONTACT IF YOU GET COMMUNICATION DELETE IT OR REPORT THEM!!  THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. 


It is a situation where most of us are trusting enough to think it is an innocent ploy that they will help us learn if we are not as experienced.  They never have you practice on any other specialty except for rheumatology and your practice files are only clinic notes and when you test it is a consultation. 


Transam associates - Bizarre incidence
I received an offer from Transam associates and tested with their sample dictation (I thought it was weird because I could not use my foot pedal but write what I heard on paper and type it down). Before realizing my mistake, I accidentally pasted my confidentiality email footer and sent it. My clipboard messed up and I pasted the wrong thing (scatterbrained I know). A few minutes later I receive an email that I did great on the test and it was a true representation of my work. What in the world? Is this just an automated response to everyone. Are they a scam?
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
