Has anyone applied and heard back from "Editors Needed" on the job board? sm
The ad said, Want to break into editing? I may have the job for you. Just wondering if anyone applied and has heard back. Mainly curious to find out what company this is. Thanks!
Anyone know who TMMG is wanting editor yesterday on job board? TIA. nm

I knew from my 1st day of training that my rpts were yesterday's
.
I posted my first reply yesterday and...
already been accused of a recruiter.  I was shocked...Like I said later on, that is the problem with this field...so much bickering going on at all times. I was just trying to be helpful and offer advice from my personal experience. That was all, but then I got shot down like crazy...
So odd - I posted 2 replies yesterday, and now they are gone?

I posted it yesterday and it was removed - Sorry!! nm

I'm sorry your experience was so bad. Yesterday was the 1st time I ever posted so you have no cl
who I am.  Please folks, Amphion mgmt is the best.  They have outstanding, professional, caring people who work very hard to keep their employees happy.  I've been there almost 3 years and am more than happy.  The benefits are tops in the industry.  But they do require excellence and reward that amply.  I won't be back here to dignify the unprofessionalism exhibited by some posters.
I posted as Editors needed and the ones who applied know that I am speaking to them.
Thanks for your concern.

No, its not Shapin.
TMMG?
Does anyone know who they are? Do they have a web site that I could refer to? Thanks. 
That TMMG post is for TSLLC out of Laurinburg, NC.

That's what I wondered. Thanks.

I wondered too!!
I found it a couple of weeks ago but nobody was in there  I think it would be a great thing to utilize!!
I wondered about that....
I've went through the testing and everything, just waiting for a call or email! :)
I wondered.....
I missed the earlier posts because I've been working and haven't had a chance to read much on here. I left there about 2 years ago and am glad I did. I feel for those who are still there, especially dealing with the cesspool, and now this, if it is true.
Thanks... that's what I wondered.
It wasn't me actually. It was someone else and the story they told me. I just wondered if there wasn't something more than just the 97-something percent, one time review that was the reason. It doesn't really make sense.
Just saw the ad and wondered
no message.
Ok. Just wondered.
Maybe that's why I have no work today??? lol
I wondered about that...
It doesn't say anything about direct deposit on their website or their ad. Thanks for the info!
I have wondered
the same thing myself...what happens to other benefits when there is little to no work?
OMG!!! I wondered why I didn't see her on IM.
She told me that she did not like using the IM but to still always let her or anyone in quality know if we had a question. She was very patient with me and gave me so much feedback, like all the time. It was a hard account, lot of ESL but she knew all about it. She was awesome. I don't know who to ask now for questions.
Wondered the same thing myself.
Are health care benefits 100% paid by employee?
I wondered that, too. There was a number in
I wonder?
I've wondered the same -
Could they be building up to sell out high? Seems to be a scramble to grab up companies, a race between us and any other country with enough money.

But what do I know, I'm only here for the food(Ever After).
I've often wondered if... sm
the transcriptionists that do 2000 lines a day are not rushing through for production sake and sending reports in with mistakes and not looking things up.  I verify everything and fix the template to look neat and tidy since the template I work on needs a lot of fixing before I can even start typing.  I always wondered if being too obsessive about it was one of the reason I never seem to make any lines.  Also, when I have first started with a few different companies and they sent me example reports I have spotted mistakes in them, and then I figured the initials on the bottom of the example report must be from one of their high producers.
I always wondered what the going rate for rad was
At W I only make 7.5 cpl doing rad, but I didn't have much experience, so I thought it was fair.
I've often wondered the same thing...
Why offshore to save money if you're just going to have to hire editors to correct the mistakes? Sounds like it DUH-feats the whole purpose of it to me!
I've wondered the same thing...

Sure has been quiet since they started bouncing checks, not paying their MTs at all, etc.  I just assumed they had changed their name and were incognito somewhere here.


That's all mine had on it too. I wondered about that, even though I don't need family.

I've wondered about the same thing if...
the IT guy came in remotely and cleaned off anything related to the company and its activities so you were just left with a clean system. Sometime you just like a computer that works great and it would be nice to own it for cheap when leaving a company rather than them paying for shipping back and doing who knows what with it as a used computer when they get it back. Just my thoughts, nothing I have ever done or asked for.
Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst.  Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the insurance.
I know a few years ago the insurance was really high so I never applied.  Does anyonoe know how much for family insurance? What insurance is it? Blue Cross, Aetna etc...? Thanks again
I noticed the ad a few times before too. Just wondered about that. nm
,,
That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm

I wondered about that too. Could it be a typo? Thought someone had said 125/hr a few years ago.

Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
similar post a month ago or so, someone wondered this....
nm
Good question - I've always wondered that myself.
I don't think the companies want us to know how work is assigned, though.
Oh, no. Think I may have just signed on
Can you give a general idea of the misrepresented positions? Frankly, I'm going into the thing expecting the worst.
I signed on for that
and I've yet to see any work. I check daily. They don't care either if you don't have any work.
Well when I first signed on

they had work comming out of their ears, when I left there was hardly anything.  I have heard they picked up again.  I had 2 different supes.  One on the training team, one on my team after traninng.  They were both great. 


They have 2 platforms, ex-text and Merit.  I worked on Merit (sp).   It had some good features and then some features EX text had that I wished it had.   It ran great on my 6 yo cheapo computer I got from Wal-Mart. 


The hospital that I am working at say they are going to ASR.  They have not said, but I bet that means we will be getting a pay cut.  They have already quit paying us for headers, footers.  I don't know but if things get too bad I will probably look back into Medware FT if that tells you anything.  HTH. 


Tell them you signed up as an IC and will
work when you are able and/or want to. As an IC, let them know that they cannot hold you to specific hours as was agreed upon when you started with them.
Co-Signed!!!
I've even worked with *seasoned/experienced* MTs who refuse to change one single word of what a physician dictates, even when it is BLATANTLY an error and the correct word is obvious (calm down, I'm not talking medical lingo here, I'm talking basic English words). I've also worked with MTs who, if the dictator says *Discharge diagnoses, Same,* types precisely THAT, *Same*, rather than copying and pasting the admission diagnoses, even though she knows this is what she is supposed to do. *That's not what he/she said, he/she said 'SAME'.* I've seen those same careless your/you're, they're/their errors more times than I care to count as well.

I understand the faster we go, the more money we make but at the end of the day, I'm willing to make a little less in exchange for turning out an accurate, quality report.

Those are my initials at the bottom of that patient record. I couldn't sleep at night or look myself in the mirror if I knew I was shipping through a lesser quality report just to make a few more cents.

And if it was your mother/father/sister/brother/child lying in that hospital bed or terminally ill attending a clinic, would you want an MT rushing through their report at breakneck speed, accuracy thrown to the wayside?

Errors like this don't make the work of US MTs any better than that of the Indian MTs, I'm sad to say.


Yep she is the one who signed up

Ummm - we care about our interests too.  That's why we DIDN'T sign up.  Sorry you were fooled.  Did you already run out of work or something?  The ads say they have tons of work? 


Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
Have you signed a contract with them yet? sm

I haven't even set up a time to train yet but I just faxed my contract in this morning and I am supposed to get my lanier sometime next week.  I guess I probably pestered her; I would rather say I was persistent : ).  I had another company with an offer standing and I didn't have time to wait around and let the other one slip by in case things didn't work out.  Luckily, they did and I am very happy with my choice.


Not much, but I'm all signed up to start there!
I think it's going to be great. :o>


Many have signed noncompete re:
You cant just make contact with a client of a company - if you have signed a noncompete / no contact - if they are money hungry / desperate they will sue for any contact with a client - however, if they go out of business - no competition there.
Even if you did not sign, I am sure they would find a way to tie up your life and be an annoyance.
When I signed on a year ago
I got an hourly rate for 3 weeks.  The pay depends on your cpl offered x125 (lph)  x 8.  
I just signed on with Transcend
a week ago and am getting their stats now although I have not officially started working.  The workload does look low.  I had also tested with another company one day last week called Precyse.  I received an e-mail today saying that I passed their test and will be contacting me so I will see what they have to offer.  I thought I was in luck because this local hospital ran an ad in our local newspaper saying they want a Medical Records Clerk, FT with excellent benefits.  That is all the ad read.  I went and applied this morning.  Fully steady pay with benefits sounds so good.  The hospital is a block away and I can leave my work there and not have it staring me in the face 24/7.  I am just afraid that the word clerk in the ad means minimum wage. 
You signed on with the company sm
based on what you saw on the board?  Didn't you ask all of this during your interview?  Just curious.
already signed up. its about time nm
