those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks

don't kid yourself


Ok, there's 3 of us...trying to decide between TransHealth and Precyse
Anybody worked for both?
MDI-Fl, Precyse, TransHealth, Spheris MTs...
nm
Do Precyse, Medware, TransHealth and MDI-Fl all
nm
Do Precyse or TransHealth have message boards?

Precyse Solutions and Medquist

eTrans, Precyse, Medquist; which is better?
 
Transhealth or Precyse Solutions for radiology? Comments please
TIA
Any TransHealth, Precyse, All Type or Probity QA folks here?
I desperately need a new QA position (need to leave MQ).

QA people only:
Are you earning a decent wage?
Are the benefits good?
Is the company pretty stable?

Thanks
MedQuist, Medware, Precyse, and probably all others working on it. nm

Webmedx and Precyse and Medquist. Regarding their insurance (sm)
Do you have to maintain X number of lines per hour to qualify or just X number of lines per payperiod?  Is the family coverage affordable and decent insurance? 
Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not
:+
Hopefully the dry spell is over. Seem to have plenty of work right now. (sm)

I don't know if it is because some people have gone to other jobs, new accounts finally came on, or the hospitals are just sending out more right now.  I don't know and right now I am just happy to have the work and hope the rest of you are finding it plentiful also.  I haven't been seeing negative posts so I am assuming we all are.


Let's hope it continues.  Kids are in school and my bank account was drained after getting that ordeal taken care of. 


A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

I dont mind background checks, but why credit checks!!!! nm

Does anybody work for SmartMed/TSI? When do they send out pay checks? TIA. nm
nm
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m

Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????


Is this really fair?  You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.


Exactly..who mails checks anymore. Even back in the day at work, every other Friday
our supervisors would pass out pay checks. Another thing...I think the OP is just trying to stir people up again, but why????
I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.

Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.

The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.

You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.

Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
I know, I know Medquist sends work overseas....but there is always work :)

I currently work for TransHealth. sm
Pay is accurate and always on time.  Benefits are very good (for full-timers).  Most of their accounts are acute care I believe, so you need to be adept at the basic 4, and able to transcribe ESLs (but that's the case anywhere nowadays).  I've always found the office staff and QA to be friendly and helpful.  I'm happy, but I realize that not every company is a perfect fit for every MT.  Good luck in whatever you decide. 
Do you work for TransHealth. You like?

Does TransHealth require you to work one day sm

of every weekend (such as Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs) or do they have M-F with rotating weekends?  TIA 


No, I work for MedQuist but...
I was reading old posts going back a few years and couldn't believe the actual owner posted on here so many times! Just wondered if she still does that...
If you work for MedQuist...
I just received the computer today. I thought it was going to be JUST a computer. I had no idea they were sending a monitor, speakers, headset, pedal, etc. I'm feeling quite a bit overwhelmed because this is a second job for me. Is this stuff to be used ONLY for Medquist work? I'm talking about the monitor, pedal, etc. I know the computer is only for MedQuist work. Is it okay to not use some of their stuff? I mean, my pedal, speakers, and monitor are just fine. Where would I find the room for two of everything?

The manual keeps talking about a modem. On the phone I was told they wanted me to have high-speed internet access. Am I correct to assume then that I won't need a modem for anything? I certainly hope so because since going high speed we got rid of our phone and went to cell phone only.

I'm also feeling very overwhelmed looking through the big manual. My training starts on Thursday. How am I ever to learn everything in that manual by then? They haven't confirmed my start date but I'm thinking possibly as early as this Sunday. Please tell me I'm not the only overwhelmed by all the stuff that was sent.

if you work for MedQuist..
Yes, they send everything! I don't know about the computer being only for Medquist work or not, you always could ask. I do keep mine strictly for Medquist because I have my own computer as well. I put my two work stations diagonal to eachother (in sort of an L-shape - 2 desks in the corner of my office). I do all my work on the MedQuist equipment and then swivel on my chair (without moving my chair) to my personal computer to look anything up that I need to. Very handy! I also do all "my own stuff" on my own computer. You need a phone line, unless it has changed in three years, because they can access your computer through the phone lines to load it with stuff, and to train you. I also have high speed cable but sometimes if there are software problems, they get me to hook up the phone modem so they have access and can fix it. I am using my own speakers etc. I just think they send you everything because they want to make sure you have all the equipment you need. Just think of them as spares! I browsed through the manual but don't be afraid, the staff really do help you alot! I really enjoyed my training period and had help whenever I needed it. Even once they "set me free on my own" I still was able to call for help if I had questions. Enjoy! I am! :)
re:if you work for medquist

I've been on high speed internet through my cable company for over a year & have had Tech support work on my Medquist computer w/o having a phone line.


I'm strictly on my cell now that all my accounts have gone to the DEP platform, so have cancelled my land line w/o any issues when MQ needs to work on my system.


It seems so overwhelming when you start, but it does get to be pretty easy soon, it's the best platform I've been on yet.  Good luck


Did you work at Medquist or
somewhere else before you went to Transtech?
work for Medquist?
Is Medquist a good company to work for?
Plenty of work at TransHealth. As far as communication goes...sm
QA email is staffed round the clock and they are usually pretty quick to answer emails.   There is always someone to answer the phone at the help desk etc.  I've not run into any lack of communication.

You cant always believe what you hear. If they are disgruntled, they will say anything about a place to try to get back.

Some people just hold grudges.

Transhealth editors? Anyone with information on pay, work schedule, benefits, platform
I would appreciate any information before taking their test without knowing the scoop.  Thanks!

I used to work for Precyse and...

they are a good company.  They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule.  They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids.  (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)


They provide all equipment.  Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful.  You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours.  Their platform is easy to use.  I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent.  One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part.  (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)


They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it.  So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on.  You can also check your balance of PTO at any time.  Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception.  They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time.  Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc.  She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.


The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc.  That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me.  However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too.  They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.


Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work. 


They are a good company overall.  I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours.  Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them.  If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives. 


I work for Precyse
I have worked for Edix and Medquist in the past and Precyse is definitely a cut above those 2. It is a smaller company, but they are very good to work for and ....get this....they actually value their MTs!  They don't call you MTs or staff, but colleagues.  Everyone is respected equally here.  I have owned my own business and have worked for the other large nationals listed above, and feel that I have found my home.  I think you will be very pleased with Precyse.  Their platform is web based, called Correct Type (Precyse calls it PrecyseType, but it is the same web-based program we used at MQ).  Very user friendly.  Staff of Precyse is excellent.  It is not an easy company to get a job with, so if you have been offered a position, go for it!  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Precyse - no work
Is this typical? I have only 2 accounts and never have enough work.  I have asked twice for an extra account with no response back.  Their TAT seems very quick so I'm wondering if they over-hire so they meet TAT and we sit here with nothing to do.  Haven't been here even a month but certainly can't afford this.
I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India

 Any feedback from their employees or ex-employees would be appreciated.  Thanks.
If you work for Precyse now, try calling the help desk, if not sm...

If you're not with Precyse now, you work on one of their PCs with everything already loaded.  My best guess would be to say "no, you can't use a laptop", but I never had to use one, so don't quote me on that. 


Hope this helps some
