Off-shore men
These men are raised in a society where women are considered little more than property. Women have no voice, they are there strictly for the convienence of the men. The men come here expecting to live their lives and run their businesses as they did in their home country. In fact, many of the home offices of the MT companies are now in the third world countries. Ithink offshoring is showing to be a big wake-up call to the average US citizen as to how the globalization of the economy is going to go. It is not they we are pulling anyone UP to our level, it is more like we are being pulled DOWN to their level doing business. My experience with off-shored men is they have no respect for women, they are much less than honest, at least in business and any action justifies him getting what he wants. This is my experience from a business stand point.
No off-shore; they are big on that. sm
6 paid holidays, Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, MetLife dental (GOOD dental plan), and I think a week of PTO first year but it goes up after that. I've been there a long time (almost 9 yrs) so I don't know what new MTs start at. I like the shift differential and the incentive plan; don't judge on your base line rate offer - you can make a lot more.
you said off shore and New grad MT's
which means if I pay my experienced MT's 9 cpl, then the newbie should get 4 cpl, because I have to pay an Editor 5 cpl to QA their stuff to get it up to the 9 cpl quality. But then everybody screams about newbies only making 4 cpl????
Must of been one of her off-shore MTs posting that one nm

Off Shore Folks
Last quote we got from an Indian company --- they were up to 7cpl for 24 hour TAT and 8cpl for 24 hour TAT. I suspect what with the continued decline of the value of the dollar, along with the concomitant raise in standard of living in India, this is an issue/problem which may be resolving itself.
Yes, some of the damage already done, but markets have a way of correcting themselves.

Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL.
Webmedx does not off-shore. nm

I think that off-shore workers
You just summed that up for me. I am glad you told the truth in that you like using slaves to transcribe who are none the wiser.
As an IC, I choose my own hours, days, lines, etc. You as an MTSO consider that whining, when it is the law.
So if you sleep at night knowing you are abusing and mistreating offshore workers, then good for you! It actually just proves you have no heart.
Another point I'd like to make is that if you need subs to make you money, you must be a horrible Transcriptionist yourself.
Any doctor that old me he doesn't care who types, when, and how would be off of my list of good doctors and I wouldn't waste my time. That doctor obviously doesn't care about people but only his own pocket and that would include you as the MTSO. That same doctor that told you he/she doesn't care will drop you as an MTSO in a minute when he/she finds a better deal.
Always remember, we reap what we sow. Try and have a good day, master!

In Mass are you talking about. I was supposedly hired by them in 2004. They had me waste my gas and time driving there to train on their system. I was very well qualified if I don't mind saying. The owner has her little canary friend working for her. They are not a company I would recommend. I feel they are dishonest and sneaky. The owner sat with her fat arse in her office all day and counted her pennies. There line count was all funky..so just stay away.  
Does Spheris off-shore? Do they have a New Jersey
nm
Is this company off-shore owned? sm
I will bet this company is off-shore owned. My experience has been these companies expect US workers to work like off-shore workers. They think we are so grateful to have a job, any job, that they can walk all over us and we will take it, just like they do to their countrymen. US workers who go along with this kind of illegal abuse, deserve what they are getting. Make MT the job you want it to be, don't accept just anything. Pick and choose the companies you work for, find out if they are off-shore owned with the token US front men. Find the kind of accts you want to do and at a price that is agreeable to you. Testing gets easier every time you do it. Get proactive. This will take time, don't rush yourself and don't quit one job until you have another up and in place.
Silent Type definitely DOES NOT OFF SHORE!! (sm)
They are a great company to work for. CEO is totally hands on and knows whats going with her company; which is rare!! The more you produce the more you make, paid per page, not line!! A plus there, and bonus tiers for page counts. Once you try the best like ST, you won't regret the switch!
I understand they off shore to India and
may even have a company over seas as well. Not for me.
North Shore Transcription
Just curious if anyone here has ever worked for NST, Peabody, MA.
Most of the work is done off-shore. I feel

Another list of MTSOs who DO NOT Off-Shore and
I probably have some of these wrong and still missed a ton of companies, so please feel free to correct the list.
If I could not find a definite U.S. Transcriptionists Only, but did find NO OFFSHORE APPLICANTS I added it to the list. They could still off-shore, and just not put that in their Job Ad or on their Website. So, if any of the MTSOs below do off-shore, please correct.
Some do use Canadian MTs, but I did not think we were getting that picky.

North Shore Medical Transcription
Hi,
I just tried to send you an email but am not sure it went through. I worked for NSMT from 1991 till 1995 and all I can say is it's a very reliable and solid employer if you show you can be relied upon as well. It's really nice having a one-on-one rapport with the person(s) running the company. I ran across an ad recently by them on line, and its led by the same woman. She's a tough cookie, no nonsense, but a really good person and a terrific manager. As far as getting work and being paid on time, as an employee that was never a question for me. If she's doing IC these days, just keep in touch with her and she'll work with you I'm sure.
Everyone's different, but I'd say this company is definitely a good bet. I don't know what accounts they have these days, but there was a good variety. I worked on site at the Lahey Clinic most of my time there and it was a super assignment.
Correct --did NOT off-shore work to India sm
The rest of the post was **...SENT WORK TO INDIA A FEW MONTHS AGO** making it sound like MTs were laid off BECAUSE their work went to India.
If you have any familiarity with this company, you know that the none of the DRC/Acusis accounts are allowed by the clients to be typed outside of the US.
So YES, there was a lay-off, but NO it didn't have anything to do with India.
PS: Offshore and outsource are not the same thing. But you know that, too, right? ;-)
North Shore Transcription Company
Can anyone give me any information on this company. I was thinking about applying. I could not find a website for them on the Internet.
Correction to list below of Companies that do not off shore
Optiscript in State College,Pa DOES off shore. I was offered a job with them until I heard from a very reliable source that they even have offices out of the country. Stay away!
Does Encompass off-Shore? Ad says "At this time,
I saw the ad they have on mtjobs and find it curious.
They state:
At this time, we are unable to offer employment to persons living outside of the U.S.
Sounds like they have some non-US MTs working for them. Do they off-shore? Most ads just say NO NON-US Applicants, not AT THIS TIME?
Any insight?
Thanks.
Does anyone have actual experience in the quality of off-shore work?
A physical therapist in my area said they kept a file of the funniest errors they received from the off-shore work. I do believe that most of the hospital staff that get the work back care diddly-squat about quality -- it's probably not read, only filed.
Transhealth LLC
Any good or bad on this company? Appreciate any info.
Transhealth
I worked for them for a month and a half. Very regimental about scheduling and time off. My dad had cancer and I took 3 days off to be with him and they griped. Also, very big brother. If you don't get up to speed within a week, they limit how many reports you can type to 10 a day (no matter what the length of report, long or short) until you get up to speed with quality and quantity. You work the schedule they want with no variations and if you are not in the chair when they think you should be will get e-mail from them asking where you are (even if it is something like you need to be in the bathroom a little longer because you don't feel well). Very particular on QA (as should be) and always checking on you. Go very strictly by AAMT book of Style and expect you to know it. will even send you a copy. Insurance is Blue Cross/Blue Shield out of Tennessee. They offer full benefit package of medical/dental/vision and do take out taxes. Dental is Delta Dental. The account they had me on out of east Tennessee was a hospital account that had a lot of very thick foreign dialects. I was not happy with them because I needed more flexible scheduling and they are set and that is it. If they tell you you work 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., you better have your butt in that chair the entire time between then. Another fact that my brother later pointed out to me is that they are an LLC company which is limited liability corporation, so if they close their doors for any reason, they are by law not liable to pay you anything of back wages and you just lose if they owe you anything when they close the doors. So, I am not real sure how long they have been around, but I think may be a young company of a few years, so that is something also to consider. If you like acute care and hospital dictation they have a lot of it. Not sure if all of their hospitals are like the one I had with a lot of foreigners, but that is the one they gave me. The day supervisor Kristin that I was training with to start with was very nice but I did not care for the evening supervisor, Teresa, who I thought was very harsh and like working under a drill sargent. So, that is what I can tell you. I am not trying to influence you only stating the facts as I know them from my experience with them. Someone else may have a different view than mine, but this is all the information I can give you.
TransHealth
Thanks for the recommendation on TransHealth. I am specifically looking for a company who pays both headers and spaces so will check them out. So far I have been told by the companies who do not pay for headers that everything loads right in - NOT! Between looking for correct data or verifying what is automatically loaded in, I just feel it is a lot of time I am not getting paid for. Thanks again!
TransHealth
Is there anybody out there who worked for TransHealth, quit, and then went back? How did it go?
What is TransHealth's Rad pay?...
A whopping 8cpl like everyone else? 
TransHealth Rad Pay- sm
When I was hired back in June, it was 8 cpl, and I trained for HALF a day...they have the most horrible system for radiology, although they rave about how great it is. I never saw such a cumbersome system just to get into the report took about 5 minutes. No wonder they offer 8 cpl. I quit after a few hours of that. Look elsewhere if you want to make any kind of decent production.
TransHealth
TransHealth-Any info appreciated as I am considering taking employment with them.
Don't know about TransHealth but...
If your main account is a teaching hospital with long reports being paid by line would probably be a good thing - if its not a teaching hospital with mainly short reports it would probably NOT be a good thing. I'd make sure I knew what kind of a hospital it was B4 being paid by line or not...
TransHealth
I was also offered a Radiology job by TransHealth but am afraid to give up my hourly job. What do you think?
TransHealth is the one. NM

Full-time: work a 40-hour week or average 12,500 lines per pay period. Part-time: work <40 hours a week with a minimum of 6,000 lines per pay period. Pay periods are 1st through the 15th and 16th to the end of the month. Hope this helps.
Transhealth
I was told they expect 150-175 lines per hour. Their Policy, Procedures, and Benefits Handbood says 40-hour week OR average 12,500 lines per pay period. Part-time is a minimum line requirement of 6,000 lines per pay period. I just started with them and, yes, I have a set schedule, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
Yes, definitely at TransHealth. nm

TransHealth
I believe TransHealth had an ad recently indicating they would pay 10 for experienced MTs, but it might have been for those willing to do heavy ESL dictators. Check them out, I tested and have to call them back today as they called yesterday and left a message. Seem pretty good and I believe I read mostly favorable comments on them here. Others paying that high are IC.
TransHealth
You can do M-F with rotating weekends.
TransHealth
You are right, the company I am talking about is TransHealth. I also started there a few weeks ago and am having a hard time hitting line count due to the constant low work volumes on the accounts I have been placed on. Talk about frustrating! The staff is very nice, however, they are disorganized.
I had a very bad exp with TransHealth
A certain lady was very rude and locked me out of work when I had a medical emergency, even though they knew the situation. Awful place to work.
Actually it was Transhealth! nm

Transhealth?
I am wondering why TransHealth is still looking -- are they not a good company to work for? They have had that posting for editors for quite some time?
In general - wondering - what is average pay for QA/editing positions?
SE only at Transhealth nm

TransHealth Rad
You are paid by the report. It is all internet based so unlimited LD is not needed. They were a decent company to work for, unfortunately there was never enough work to keep me busy.
Transhealth
From my experience, TransHealth is a waste of time. They have absolutely no regard for their applicants. Let's just say if you are lucky or I should say unlucky, you will hear from them. First you take a miserable transcription test, then you take a written test, and if you pass both of those, you will be scheduled for a mini-test over the phone. The test is a definition test. They ask you words, you need to know the meaning. They catch you totally off guard. If you don't do well on the mini-test, it doesn't matter if you passed the two other tests, which means they are more concerned with definitions than your transcription ability.
Their process is very time consuming and in my opinion, not worth the effort especially from a company that is afraid to post their compensation. So I say thumbs down to Transhealth. It's a waste of time.
Transhealth
With their extensive testing, you would think their pay was tops in the industry. No wonder they don't tell you up front.
Transhealth
So here's my question. How many Radiology people know the definition of abduction versus adduction off the top of their head without looking them up?
Transhealth
What is the definition without looking it up?

Hi, you need to keep it together--TransHealth--SM
There is a lot in the archives, but I'll share my experience.
I just started working there a couple of weeks ago. I like it. I'm struggling because it has been a long time since I've done acute care. It is hard work, but every day it is getting easier. I have to look up stuff A LOT! But that's due to my inexperience.
QA has been very helpful. Office staff have been very friendly. The platform that I work on (ChartMatrix) is very easy to learn. You have to have your own word Expander (I use ShortHand). They have a built-in Stedman's dictionary in their spell checker. You have the ability to look up previous reports, which I love and have found very helpful.
They allowed me to pick my own schedule.
Medical benefits start the 1st of the month after you start. Pay is fair (better than I made at MQ though less than I made with my previous small MTSO).
Any questions in particular? I'm glad I made the move. I feel nervous that I'm not up to my line count yet, but I haven't received any negative feedback about that (yet), so I'll just keep pushing myself to improve each payday.
Good luck to you. I left my e-mail above if you'd like to chat by e-mail.
