    just checked my mail, no check

    Does SPI really offer benefits? The last time I checked they did not.
    Thanks for any information.
    What happened to my post? The last time I checked in, there were no responses. sm
    I had asked which companies did not require working Saturday or Sunday.  Thanks for your help!
    MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
    is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
    If you were hired full time --
    and they do not provide full-time work, you can draw unemployment in my state. I just had to report each week how much I made and they gave me a check based on that.

    Entry-level MTs are hired all the time...
    but in this industry, entry level usually refers to someone who has completed a comprehensive MT training course but has no actual paid MT experience. My suggestion would be to investigate training at M-TEC or Andrews before thinking of looking for a job.
    I work part time, got hired last month. nm

    your time is coming . . . easy does it when first hired on with TransTech, of course.

    Do you think they are going to discourage you on the very first day of hire.  NOT.


    Obviously, you are one who is getting cherry-picked reports, but your time will come for the difficult dictators just as we all get.


    So glad you enjoyed your first day.


    Several months ago a company called Charts in Time (CIT) hired some MTs off here. Just wondering how
    it turned out for those MTs as I turned it down and wondered if I should have taken the job. Thanks.
    I just received my check & it was on time
    *
    Time to check the "Jobs" board
    There are other places you can work.


    Big Time Micromanager! And if you leave, good luck on getting that last check.
    Although you are an IC, she will expect you to work a rigid schedule.
    I did to. Work late shift and did not check msg in time. Hope to get recap

    I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
    I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.

    I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

    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 ?!?!
    No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
    If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them.  But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work.  They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to.  If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.

    I checked my QA
    and you are right. I don't know who it is tho.
    Checked it out
    My account doesn't use I-chart, but on a small single chart I counted every character and every space and ended up with 902; divided 65 into that and got 14+.  When I checked my line count later, it was 15.  Did the same with the next one.  It also agrees with the Word Count under Tools.  Checking CTL-S and statistics gives me a higher count, but I think that includes the headers, for which we do not get paid.  It looks fine to me.  I'm not sure about I-Chart.  This is Xpress line counter though, and I don't see anything like skimming.  Maybe you should explain better.
    I have checked into 3 different

    8 cpl seems to be the going rate for 8 years experience.  However, at one of the nationals, if I worked odd hours of the night, produced over 2000 lines an 8 hr shift I could get paid more than 10 cpl. 


    I had already checked...
    the archives and the main board but I double checked just to make sure and sure enough there's nothing much there. The few that are recent are my posts, one about the type of platform they use and want ads, that's it. All other posts are around a year old. I read them anyway and it was informative, provided nothing has changed that is. That's why i was really needing someone who currently works there to shed some light.
    Not last I checked!
    nm
    I had checked into them once,...
    And I thought their web site said they did NOT hire US MTs. Maybe is mis-read something. Good luck!
    I checked out TRX...
    ...they require 500 lines per day for part time on a very heavy ESL account. I was looking for something to do 4 to 6 hours a day on fri/sat/sun but if they are difficult clinicians to understand, it could take you 12 hours to 500 lines! just FYI.
    not last I checked ...
    almost, but not quite.
    My doc checked into it but said
    it was too expensive right now. So he's not making the switch until forced to do so. So I'm safe for a little while. I told him to give me at least a couple month's notice. LOL
    I just checked
    and the highest producers posted had 98% or above, usually 99%. The reason I have gotten a higher LPH is from a change in how I look things up (using a nice Auto Hot Key script) and not because I am actually going faster. ISR has helped my total LPH average as well--something else people don't like to hear. I can't imagine I am that special so I think others can do it too.
    Have you checked the archives lately?? sm
    All those negative posts, and there must have been hundreds, have been deleted. It ain't what you know ....
    I had checked out their website before...
    and I liked what I read. I also love Softmed/Chartscript. Can you tell me how they pay (DD, per line, etc) and how much? Thank you!
    Just checked for funsies and
    all 3 of my accounts at MDI-MD are on the list!  This is definitely not a list of their accounts, although I'm sure they would love for everyone to believe that. 
    Have you checked outside, there might be a black
    Why care who reads what, if you're telling the truth it makes no difference.  Management might take the time to read this site (as if they have nothing better to do) for entertainment but give them more credit for intelligence than to base any management or company decision making issues on anything said on a board like this.  If you say nothing on here you wouldn't be afraid to say to management, then who cares what they see/read.  If management is particularly bad or corrupt, etc., they don't care if you know it because they've already figured out a way around what they're doing.  Now go close all your blinds and cower in the corner and wait for them to come busting through the door.   
    Does background check include credit check?

    NN is right -- notification is in the e/mail; i just checked.

    Already checked out archives, nothing recent
    Well, had an interview scheduled today with Amphion at 9:00 a.m. - they called and set it up - I'm still waiting for the phone call and it's 9:47 a.m. TransHealth called, now I called back and they're all in meetings. This is very frustrating. I think I will accept Oracle for the time being, since they are IC and TransHealth and Amphion are FTE, and keep waiting. Someone has to be a good match. I thought TransHealth or Amphion would be great choices, but now - set up an interview and not call? I didn't call them, they called me, but now after scheduling the interview - no one called? TransHealth sounds great - now if I can just connect with the guy who called me. If not ... who's next?
    Medware, checked the archives but...sm
    Nothing really recent.  Pros, cons?  Any opinions appreciated.  TIA!
    It took them over 2-3 weeks to just get my references checked....and....
    then by the time they got my references checked, they said that all they had was an opening for third shift, which I was being hired for first shift...so I turned them down.  I had a little bit of hesitancy to begin with before taking the job.  Then, I looked on their website, saw that they offshored, sent the guy an email who was hiring me telling him that I don't think I would be a good fit for a company that offshores (because I do not think it is right),he called me back and emailed me back franticly stating they do not offshore, blah, blah, blah...But that just gave me more leverage to turn down the job ONCE THEY FINALLY called me back...I would be very careful with them...Never worked for them, but that is my experience....
    I checked before I posted here. I thought of that first.
    Thanks though.
    Checked to see who the person was who was so angry...and....
    She worked at Shapin for 2 days and was unable to complete her work with any quality at all. Her scores were in the low 80's. So YES she was MOST DEFINITELY let go and YES she is MOST DEFINITELY angry about that. Sorry S. Please retake a Medical Transcription course before moving on. All employers would appreciate that!
    Oops! Haven't checked in in a ....
    ..couple of days--didn't mean to leave you hanging .  Um, I don't fully remember the pay scale, except that it was a little tricky.  I was only going to work for them part-time and didn't hang around long enough to find out.  As I said, the platform was sooo tedious and time-consuming that I honestly didn't think I'd be able to make any money there. 
    Have you checked with the office? My account seems to
    be running behind. Do you have a backup acount?
    I checked line counts ...
    ...against Flash count with the same settings and it comes out accurate. I have trouble getting good production as well, but I feel assured it's not that. 
    I use ExText for a hospital. I have checked
    Word and then counting, and it comes out right every time - it totals the characters and spaces and divides by 65.  I get paid for everything I type. 
    I've asked, and I have checked myself - (sm)
    when there is no lag time on I-chart, usually early morning, typed normal template, and it did count.  I also asked and we do get paid for everything except headers and footers.
    Last I checked I didn't need gas to get to work
    On my accounts everyone knows my name, I don't usually have reason to call the office. If I have problems I talk with my team leader or the regional manager, which is what I suggest you do. Why is it hard for people to voice their concerns to the company or people in charge of their specific accounts?? If you have no work then ask for more accounts.
    I checked and could not find my post.

    need to get my glasses checked. The guarantee for the
