They need to include the American firms
.
doesn't sound like an American sm
company to me. The ad is worded to differently.

Don't kid yourself, WalMart doesn't do American. sm
They'll have sweat shops all over India, China, etc., to do the work. It's how they do everything else.
Just because it is American run doesn't mean it isnt offshore owned.
:+
Doesn't sound very American for starters. I think you know where this is headed. nm

Oh, I'd say they do, but why should they care if you don't pay dues?
nm
What does she pay in union dues? nm
nm
Most hospitals will. Pay your dues (work cheaper to get experience.)

Many have paid their dues and see what they get? AAMT has MTs walking the plank
:P
Country clubs (SF Bay Area) are great but their dues are pricey
You may want to experience life outside of Northern California, in other states of the United States, and find out that you were brainwashed and deluding yourself into living in, as one of the TV news station there actually used to say The greatest place on earth. Everyone I know who has left has a higher standard of living. In particular, one who can't come to terms with leaving is only working part-time because she can't find full-time work. And let's not forget the people in Silicon Valley who work full time but still live in their cars.
LOL ! SO wrong. Free, vountary. No "GUY" collecting dues and NO MANAGEMENT ALLOWED !!!

It's legit, it's free, it's voluntary and no management allowed.  Sharing information away from prying controlling eyes without fear of retribution, voting on what is best for all. 


You've got maybe one last straw to grasp at . . .have at it.


 


Does this include
being an employee under employee status that a computer, software and reference materials be supplied also. If so, that does not happen here either.
does that include MDI MLS's in there? I always thought they
were one of the big companies but that is pretty average, isn't it?
Not unless you include the account updates - LOL!
nm
Do you know if this rate would include your DH if needed? Thanks. nm
xx
Plus your medical records include your SS#, too! nm
.
The numbers on the Q above do not include ILPs.
There is a difference.
Does that include the equipment failures
for the ancient Lanier equipment that doesn't work half the time, the numerous phone numbers that must be dialed to even obtain the work, the numerous ESLs who can barely speak English, the demands to work extra and constantly even though an MT meets her quota, the inconsistent account profiles and QA feedback, or the promise of being left on an account only to be moved around? I'm really curious.
What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:
Thanks, does this include an expander and dictionary, or did you have to buy your own? Nm
xxx
It can include Ops, but lots of companies
offer positions with or without ops, so acute care doesn't necessarily mean Ops.  Acute care is hospital setting and can be any report type, basic 4 would include Ops usually.
Looking into medical records and include
this into the criteria to hire somebody or not, yes, this I would regard as overall discrimination.

But to be subjected to a hearing test to be hired for an MT job, is not discrimination of any sort.
Does that 200 LPH include voice recognition, or is it
nm
Does that include the overhiring practice of Transcend's
so none of us can make a decent living, or the miserable platform transcend brought with it?
Does Precyse include the ADT entries or headers in
nm
Definitely is spaces include, black and white.
Indeed it is.
Does Medware's insurance include preexisting? nm

Forgot to include my e-mail address
My e-mail address is neuhausel@epix.net. Forgot to include that in my last message.

Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm

On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures.  It looks like there is no message (there is though)


Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it.  This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians.  Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this. 


This year's will include roadkill recipes

So lets all get our recipes ready to submit to some suit that did NOT take a pay cut, so she can dole them out to us and lead the old team cheer!


What I love the most - they way they announce they're forcing the whole company to go ISR and take a pay cut - and then exhort us to give our extra all to worry about quality.  Its REMARKABLE how they have the cojones to guilt trip us while they're yanking our money away!


We ARE worried about quality - the quality of our resumes as we start looking for different jobs.  I'm worried about the quality of my PAYCHECK and the quality of my TIME wasted looking at NSA hour after hour, night after night.  And that's the QUALITY you've forced us to concentrate on!


PTO, sick pay, paid holidays, benefits include...sm
Medical, dental, vision, drug coverage.  Great company.  I like my accounts.  Plenty of work.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't
nm
Does background check include credit check?

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore
nm
He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.


An American
Your right - I posted and I am American. Read the book - The Worls is Really Flat - grow up. This is a busines that Sally Struthers advertises to unemployed people in the middle of the day - Learn to be a medical Transcriptionist ...

I believe that rasism is bad. The people on this site are off balance. They believe that ONLY Americans can do this work. They believe that because someone was born in another country - they are a lesser person. How sad and small - it is the very thing that will kill the business for Americans. MTSOs understand that they provide a great living for people in India. Indian companies provide health insurance, paid time offf, transporation to and from work, and free meals. Do American MTSOs provide ANY of this?

all american
meant appreciate that, oops 
Yes, you got it - American men do same.....NM

American MTs

American MTs:  Is this job for you?  This little paragraph should go in all their job ads.


And yes, we do outsource, to India, to the Philippines and we have American MTs. Our overseas MTs don't complain about having to work, they don't ask for time off every other day, they don't have excuses for not turning in their work within TAT and several of them produce client ready work. Our offshore MTs pride themselves in their work and turn in the best quality they can, unlike a few of the American MTs we’ve had that turn in less than perfect work, don’t take direction and refuse to change bad habits, and ask for more work just to make more money.  Juliann Shapin


non-American MTs
Gee you are a foreigner...you are not an American...so should American companies not hire you because you are taking the American dollars away from Americans? Would you feel the same way about hiring British MTs or French MTs?
No, he IS American. Which is of course (nm)
.
Are you American?
nm
They took American and MT out of their name...
That about sums it up! I guess they can take our money for their self-serving agenda, but don't expect them to use American or MT in their name anymore. Thanks for NOTHING Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity. What a joke you always have been and still are....
Well, no WONDER you can't get American
Of course, don't think for a minute that INDIAN MTs don't read these boards. So now THEY know what kind of an employer you are, too! I hope one of them gets ahold of a sensitive medical record of YOURS someday, and holds it for ransom like that Pakistani MT did, and sells your SS#.
Are you American? If not, why don't you go to
the board in your own country? If you are American, then why not do something about helping Americans get jobs? Can you answer these questions?
100% American

American company
A company from Maine wants to hire me (if I pass their testing). THing is, they hardly discussed a thing with me about anything. THey only want to pay me 7-8 cents per line, but promise to provide me with the computer and all supplies that I need. I dont want to invest alot of time studying and stuff if they decide not to pay me or send the stuff. They only have one other canadian working for them as an IC (they pay american MTs really well as employees with benefits). Just seems kind of odd to me. THey are called Northeastern Transcription anyhow. I wish i could find a good company to work for that pays decent are and nice to work for. Me and hubby are both out of work presently!!

CHRISTMAS IS AMERICAN
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Majority rules here in America. MOST people celebrate Christmas in this country. If I were in a Japanese country I would expect to see oriental things all over the place and if I were in Israel, I would expect to see Hannukah all over. What is wrong with people? The world has gone totally nuts.

Is anyone happy with American
They have some surgical positions that I'm interested in.  Has anyone had good luck with them?  What is the pay and insurance like?  Or is it IC?
Assumed you were American..
which makes it more sad that you expect such poor quality of your very private personal medical records and others as well, not to mention the lack of privacy in another country. Go figure!!! No patriotism whatsoever. Shame on you.
