Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

MT Group
I would never work for her again.  Very moody, extremely picky.  She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.
mt group
Does anyone have any info on the MT group?  Thanks  
MT Group
Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows.  All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is

describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination.  Let's be adults here.


 


ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either.  I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable.  Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
Yes, there was a group of 12 or more. nm

Another group
I have been involved in starting groups with a specific purpose in mind before. What happens every time is that a bunch of different personalities get together for a common cause, then they start fighting over different ideas on how things should be done, lose sight of the original purpose, and the next thing you know it is like being back in the sandbox in kindergarden and nothing gets accomplished and the whole thing fizzels.
You really should not group all MTs together. nm
Not all of us whine, connive, or are disloyal. Personally, I am a very loyal IC. I show up and work when I say I will, produce top quality documents, and am appreciated by my accounts.

Maybe you have just come across a few bad apples, but not all of us have poor work ethics and personal values.

You should think before you write something so generic as this.
do not lump us all into that group, please!
Some of us out there still do what we say we are going to do, produce excellent quality work, and have plenty of experience. I just cannot find an honest employer who pays well these days. Seems there are issues on both sides of the fence! I am not sure what the solution is. Ideas? :-)
WestTran group
anybody know anything about WestTran group LLC.  the good,the bad,the ugly?!  Thanks!
Growing with a new group of
They started a group of hospitals based in TN, and are adding them one at a time during the year.  Lots of ER and acute care positions, we get emails noting the new accounts and added positions. 
MT Group, any information would

Seriously? That's what The Group Formerly Known as AAMT SM
wants to do. We all take a test, send them lots of money and belong to their group. I'm sure it will be a lot of money. After all, it takes a lot to set up shop in Modesto, CA and, ohhh!, hope it wasn't in the line of those fires!

Truth is, most MT's cannot afford to join a union, if there were such a thing.
TT needs to get their own Yahoo Group or something
TransTech is such a good company so when the least thing goes wrong they immediately hop on here and announce it to the universe. It's called making adjustments, people.

If you can't handle it FIND ANOTHER JOB and stop taking over this board with the same old sad song every day.
Sorry about that, I truly didn't mean to put you all in 1 group. nm

Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
You should not have quit that group
The only things not allowed are names of accounts and bashing other people.
TransTech group...sm

I think I saw a while back someone post something about a TT group?  Could someone please email me this info?


Thanks


A group note was probably sent to

Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING

A Yahoo group for Landmark MTs for support, discussion, and friendship has been created! Send me an email for the address to join.

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
DSG=Dictation Services Group
nm
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
nm
No, but they did hire a consulting group to take over the
management of the MTS, and things went downhill quickly from there. We started getting bombarded with e-mails daily regarding the backlog (even with little to nothing on the system), and then they became very demanding about working extra when the minutes started building. Primary and backup accounts were always caught up.
The only communication is through your account manager. Don't expect to hear back from anyone higher. You're just wasting your time.
One of the MDIs and/or Medware is probably in that group, too. nm

Dictation Services Group
Anyone currently working for this company care to comment on:

1. Workload
2. volume of ESL's
3. Are managers friendly and do they return emails?
4. Good benefits?


Dictation Services Group

good/bad?  I put in a resume for QA at MQ months ago and have been called back about it but it's a bunch of hurry up and wait speech--i'm supposed to get a position there but i'm applying elsewhere jic.  Saw the ad for Dictation Services Group QA position and thought I would apply...thoughts?

DSG, Dictation Services Group.
I have seen varying opinions on DSG on this board in recent months and how some think that the company has gone down hill over the last year or so. I am curious as to whether others think that it is the whole company that is having the problems or if it is a case of the old DSG and DSG2 being run differently. I am with DSG2. I will say, like others that pay is always on time, although it is sad that that is a sign of a good company. I like the DocQScribe platform ok, although there are a lot of features that could be better, starting with the spell checker. I feel that there is a huge lack of good feedback, especially for newbies. Supervisors are extremely hard to get a hold of, especially at night, and even during the day emails go unanswered at least 3/4 of the time, but they don't want us to IM them. The few times I have gotten an IM answer to an email, it was short and factual to the point of being rude. I am not looking to chat, but a little common courtesy goes a long ways. And don't even get me started on the messages that come with the updates, that sound totally fake and desperate. Anyway, I was just wondering if this was a personal preference sort of thing or if it was that certain parts of the company are better than others.
New option for group members
Group members now have the option of hiding their email address and IP address. This eliminates some features of the group but is for everyone's protection.
I agree, but tell that to one group on this board, who
xx
This is why I prefer group over individual..

The bottom line is that.. When you have group insurance, you have a set rate, along with everyone else, regardless of your health insurance..and when it renews each year, it will only go up based on the group's rate, nothing to do with your personal health history and it is generally better benefits overall. Now, you have a private policy, can only afford one with a huge deductible (major medical)..well, during the year, you had an emergency surgery, heart attack..whatever.. Well, first off you have that preminum which is high, then you have all of that deductible to meet, upwards of $5000..THEN, your shocked at renewal time that they jacked up your preminum about $200 a month..and then your stuck..You can pay that outrageous amount or go without insurance because another private insurance wont touch you will all of your medical claims in the past 10 years. If they do touch you, it won't be cheap. So, your bad to square one.. crappy insurance at a bad price or signing up with a company for okay rates but better insurance.


I thought I was smart not keeping my group insurance through work because it was $400 a month (deductible $1000 etc..) so I went and got myself a family plan through private insurance for ONLY $196 a month.. Yes, then I had a $5000 deductible and come to find out my prescription benefits were only 50% instead of the $10-40 I had been paying. One of my son's prescription cost us $100 a month with that great insurance, and it would have only been $25 on my old group policy. Yes, I was saving a lot of money..NOT. I did check into my private insurance to get a policy similar to my group one.. and imagine that.. they wanted over $1000 a month for decent insurance. So, no thanks. I'll stay with group..It's worth it in the long run.


Dictation Services Group, Inc.

Does anyone have information on a company called Dictation Services Group, Inc.?  They are in Atlanta.  Anyone with info may feel free to reply to me privately.  I am completing a test for them and wondered about the company.


 


Thanks in advance!


If it is a group health plan.........yes they are
xx
Yes, Medware has an offshore group of MT's. sm
They do not deny it if you ask them, but they do say that the two groups are kept completely apart from each other. Who cares? They still offshore.
I said there was a group e-mail sent about being out of work.
They were not limiting anything.
Dictation Services Group

Does anyone have any information they are willing to share about this company.  I noted they  have an ad on MT Daily?  Is DocQScribe easy to learn?   I note their recruiter used to be with another company that I now work for which does not pay for those spaces and now am having  a lot of server problems and have to wait for reports to go to server before I can start with another one, very very frustrating.  Dictation Services Group  pays for spaces, but are wanting MTs mostly for second shift.  I work a split shift.


 


Dictation Services Group

Followup:   I did test with them.  There was a written test  with 33 questions and then typing test with 5 reports.  Sound quality was good.  There was one foreign accent on a heart cath. 


The thing is that I know the recruiter from meeting her when she worked with SPi as theier recruiter and they were the company that my hospital outsourced too.  Well the recruiter left SPi.  I had to send two Emails and yesterday she said she would call me yesterday.  Yesterday has come and gone and still no phone call.  She said she had to hire 40 people.  I just wanted to know if I passed or failed.  I had to go to work for SPi but they do not pay for spaces.  DSG test can be done with open book and was not bad.   Good Luck if you go for it. 


Dictation Services Group

If there any information about this company that anyone would want to share that actually works for them.  Is there enough work to make a decent paycheck or you guys that work for them sit and wait on work a lot?    Their platform which I hear is not hard to learn.  Thanks ahead of time. 


Dictation Services Group

Question on current DSG MT's.  When there is plenty of work, how hard is it to reach 1000 lines a day.  Can it be accomplished in an 8 hour day?   Is DocQScribe hard to learn?  I am currently working for MT Company and I have an opportunity maybe to change to DSG but I so afraid of the unknown anymore.  I just do not want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire so to speak.  I am so tired of learning account specifics anymore my mind is just frazzled at this time.   I like perks about both companies and this is a hard decision to make.  One perk is I have to work on Sat for one company and on the other hand the other I do not have to work unless I need to make up for lost time or make up for lost lines.  This is a hard decision.  One company I have to do about 800 lines a day and the other company is about 1000 lines a day, one pays for spaces and one does not.  Just confused at this time and would like to have more opinions. Thanks


Why not a group note? I took no offense. (sm)
I don't expect them to spend all their time monitoring us. We are supposed to be professionals. I like them spending them time on getting new accounts, improving software, etc.

Besides, I received part of a group E-mail. I have no way of knowing what happened to any individuals who were repeat offenders. For all I know they WERE dealt with on a 1:1 basis.

Question about the TT Yahoo Group
I'm relatively new and did join the Yahoo group, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. What goes on; is it just posting Q&A's, is there a chat room, or how exactly does it work?

TT Haters, please don't bother to respond...I'm just asking for info on the Yahoo group. I have my own opinion of TT and don't want to hear your opinion if it's negative.
Would love to be part of that group!
OMG!! Thank you, thank you! I was actually just thinking how nice it would be for one of the high producers on this board to offer a class or help in some way instead of just making the rest of us feel worse. There are probably many MTs here who would like to be in that email group.

No, I'm not on that list, but I would love to be. I totally understand your apprehension about email on this board. It makes me extremely nervous, also.

Is there a site that I could go to and sign up, like the IT site, or is this something you do on your own?
