There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm

A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences.

information is so wrong
I have worked for them for years and they are not offshore. The only people that are offshore is team leads. The Office is located in Massachusetts so your facts are dead wrong, look it up. The corporate staff is US based and they are owned by a US based company Nuance so another fact that you got wrong. Another fact you got wrong is that yes, you were paid way too much because you kept working all the overtime you could on your hourly job taking work away from regular QCs. There is no counting days because they are owned by a US based company that now owns te two biggest MT software platforms in the country, so I think we are pretty safe. Who cares if the SWAT team was laid off. What the heck di they do anyway? I hadn't heard of tem till now. And to my knowledge werent you offered another positon before you took the lay off? This company did not offshore and will never offshore. Look it up before you start posting wrong info on this forum!
see above. Maybe someone entered information wrong. sm
Let them know. It is worth it to be persistent, especially with the new accounts. I have been there a while and have been through many changes. Unlike other companies, Keystrokes' changes benefit the employees, not take things away. Every change has been positive, just part of the growth. The longer I am with them, the more I am convinced that I will retire there. Hopefully in 5 years as these fingers are getting old and tired!
Wrong information presented here re TT

We get NO -- zilch -- paid holidays.  If you work any holiday, that is correct about the line count pay.  Usually the lwork is very low by the time a holiday rolls around, and not much to be found on the actual holiday.  They really pump up the MT's to work before the holidays so that they won't have to pay the time and a half for the holiday, plus doctors lots of the time take off, so no or low work.

You're giving out WRONG information!! sm
There are 2 Synthescribes. The one involving Heather Rigsby is based in Tennessee. This is why you just have to trust your on judgment on this board sometimes!
Maybe you asked the wrong person. I am sure that not everyone is privy to all account information.
I know that there are at least 2 more in the works, being converted over. How do I know? I am the lead on one of them and have been involved with the conversion for the past 3 weeks.

The only people who know would be KB, LT and PG for sure as they handle sales and operations.
inquiring

Inquiring about your job
Do you make more than $20.00 per hour at your new job, what where you making when you left transcription, were you doing VR or straight?
Inquiring about ALL TYPE INC sm

Was wondering if anyone had good or bad comments regarding this company?  Would sure appreciate feedback either way ASAP as I am considering applying.  If possible, please put "all type" in subject line if emailing me.  TIA


You are inquiring about MedScribe
and yes, they have the 12-hour window for acute care MTs however that is for full-time positions only, not for part time.  Hope that helps.
If you are inquiring because of that job being offered, consider this.
The ad says there are 25 lines per page.  If you divide 1.25 by 25, you'd be making 0.05 per line.  I don't think that is reasonable even if the voice system is very audible. 
inquiring minds want to know.
Does anyone know anything about Transform?
Wrong Company
You must have the wrong company. The recruiter at MedScribe is not a woman.
You are very wrong. You obviously know nothing about the company sm
or the owner. She gives a lot to all of us, has helped me out in an emergency out of her own pocket and would not let me pay back. Why should an owner give a piece off their company? No one should expect that from any company they work for. I make good money, get paid well for what I do and appreciate the job. They owe me nothing else.
To the MTSOs inquiring on this thread...
I wouldn't worry about what these negative posts say, for many reasons:

... It could easily be just 1 or 2 people who have a bee in their bonnet today; no one knows the true number of posters here

... It could easily be people who are not even MTs but friends/families of MTs or just bored poots looking to cause trouble

... No one, hear me, no one makes any MT work for any company. They are free to leave, are they not?

... I have not had the experiences with MTSOs that these people are talking about; in fact, quite the opposite so I think this is just a group who are probably not even mediocre at this

... Not one of these posters knows what it takes to run an MT business. I do. I had one and it was very successful. They don't know the incredible competition out there. They don't want the full responsibility.

... They are not willing to sign their God-given name to anything. They come here in absolute cowardice and sling their words around but if you ask them to pony up facts and ask who they are talking about and their own ID...nadda. Nadda.

I've done this work a long time, MTSOs. I've even been one. There are always going to be a few low-barrel companies but every line of work has that. For the most part, I see MTSOs on the up-and-up, offering good pay for good work. If an MT is an excellent worker (i.e., keeps the schedule, does the production and has the quality), most MTSOs will do what it takes to keep them.

... Everyone has a price and theirs is too high, in my opinion.

Now, all the naysayers can fire away. Said my opinion. :)

I knew on day one that the company was wrong for me and you will too

Give it a try..... but follow your instincts... if the bad rep company gives you a gut feeling, run like hell, do not wait long, just bail out.


 


 


You are employed by the wrong company
x
There is so much wrong with that company that 100 years
wouldn't fix it.  
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
Fast Chart, TAe software? Inquiring MT needs to know......

I am thinking about signing on with them, but need to know exactly what TAe software is?  More specifically, I am hoping that it does not ruin my Windows XP and my MS Word 2002 already in my computer.  My understanding is that it is a stand-alone software, maybe proprietary?  It is made by Arrendale Associates is all I really know.  Is is user-friendly?


Thanks for any information on this. 


I would call or drop an email inquiring.

Information on company

Can anyone tell me if they have had any experiences with the company FutureNet Tech; they are based out of California. I am supposed to start working for them, and after my experiences with some other companies, I hope they aren't the same.


 


Thanks,


June


Company Information
I wanted information about Healthcareone in NY. Do they have constant work
information on company please

Anyone have any information on Transolutions.  I just took their online test and failed.  I can reapply in 6 months, but anything you know about them would be great.  Thank you. That did not make my day. 


MD-IT....any new information on this company? ..sm
Archives are old (2007). Any new info would be appreciated. Good pay? How much PTO per year? Tough QA? What platform?

Thanks in advance!
Wrong company??..She was asking about TransMedical, not TransTech
xx
Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here

For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.


 


The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world). 


 


This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER. 


 


While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled.  They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure. 


 


I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female.  Or maybe, all TT hires are females? 


 


There were two other cases that really interested me.


 


One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant.  It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009.  They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website.  Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists…  (3) Beware of Traveloscream. 


 


The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!


But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.


 


 


The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company.  The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where.  The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008.  Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc. 


 


So, this could all be over by Christmas.

You could not be more wrong. Besides, rumor is she sold the company today. nm
Not sure who it was to, but I heard she is somewhere signing papers.  Hope not MQ.  Shame that a good company is giving in to the $$$.

STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.

Anybody ever hear of a company called Specialized Information Management?
Do they hire at home ICs?
MD-IT hiring - looks like a really cool company to work for... any advice/information?
I sure would love to know more about the company - a search of this forum turned up zilch.  I was with Medquist for 8 years, and the company I went to did not deliver on the acute care account I was hired for..... 
Does anyone know anything about a company called Heart of Georgia Health Information Services? (sm)
I am beginning a job search and this was one of the services that I came across.  Has anyone worked for them and had good or bad experiences that they could share?  TIA
You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?

Anyone with information on this company? 


You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

SO WRONG

You are so wrong in your assumption!  Although she is not with us anymore, the records need to be set straight.  Shannon has over 10 years of medical transcription experience and typed on every account we have at MDI.  You may have thought she didn't transcribe but that was because she was too busy typing on other accounts and doing the job she was hired to do which was to manage ALL of the accounts.  So before you begin to drag Shannon into the line of fire, please do your research.  She was hired to do a job which she did very well and she will be sorely missed.
