Why entry level only?

Posted By: Trixie on 2006-03-13
In Reply to:

I see where World Wide Dictation is looking for entry level transcriptionists to do non-medical work.....insurance claims, paying up to 9.5 cpl.  Why only entry level?  If it's such simple work, why not let anyone in who is willing to do it for the amount offered?

Entry level
Has anyone received a response from the entry level position on a pediatric account with Medtransolutions?
entry level
I'm thinking about getting my MT certificate and need some advice. Is it hard to find work as an entry level mt? Also, does it matter where I get my certificate (at home or reg classroom)? Do most companies have set hours or do you work when you want? I'm really excited about this new career! Any advise?
MT entry level?
Lately I have read where companies offering you an MT position and then say you have an opportunity for advancement. This really ticks me off!! I Love being an MT, have always felt that an Acute Care/Hospital Medical Transcriptionist was at the top. I personally would not want a QA or administration position and certainly do not feel I would be making a move up…at the absolute least it would be just a different move.

The only thing I do not like about being an MT is that most companies don't give raises if you get paid per line or are an IC. I have been doing this for 12+ years and companies want to pay the same rates per line as 12 years ago. The only way to make more money is to type faster and/or more hours. They have forget about the cost of living that keeps going up.

Does anyone ever hire entry level MT?

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any company out there hiring for entry level MTs.  I have the Medical background and the typing skills.  I'm a fast learner and looking to work at home as an MT.  Anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks

Webmedx-Entry level?
Does Webmedx ever hire entry-level MTs?  Anyone gotten hired with less than the 2 years experienced required?  I have about 6 months acute care.  Is Webmedx one of the companies that will wave this experience for an MT from one of the AAMT-approved schools? 
Hiring MTs with entry level exp
I have just graduated from a MT program and am looking for work.  I am willing to work the hours no one else wants.  Can anyone suggest companies that hire MTs with entry level experience.  My husband is working in Iraq and I would like to supplement his income so he can come home.
Entry-level work
What companies like to hire recent grads other than Focus and Encompass?
Entry-level work
Thank you!
Entry-level MTs are hired all the time...
but in this industry, entry level usually refers to someone who has completed a comprehensive MT training course but has no actual paid MT experience. My suggestion would be to investigate training at M-TEC or Andrews before thinking of looking for a job.
If you are entry level, what is the line requirement.

and how long will they give you to make that count.  Also can someone tell me what the pay will be for entry level.  I see they are hiring all the time and was interested.


 


Thanks.


Are there any companies who hires entry-level MTs

Does anybody knows who hires entry-level MTs?

I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they
MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.
yes, but it states no entry-level hows that for interesting?

What about the Entry Level Computer Support Specialist.....sm
opening that is listed in Atlanta Journal (ajc.com). Do you think it's pretty much already filled from within?
some companies hire entry level graduates
nm
I assumed it meant you didn't need years of experience..what does entry level mean to you?
nm
They have a low level 4, high level 4 and level 5.
nm
Level 2 is clinic and level 3
Level 1 is ER work.  It's ER, but I get a great line count.  Plenty of macros and normals, we are paid for all of them. 
Just how EZ is it to get off of the DI entry acct

data entry companies
Wondering if anyone knows of some data entry positions and if so where can I go to find work from home.
Does anyone do any data entry from home?
Just curious.  I would like to cut down to part time doing MT work and do some part time data entry!!!!
Did any of below posters google? Did you see entry

Data Entry / Excalibur
Does anyone work for or know anything about this company?  Sorry, no time nor money for scams.
Excaliber Data entry
So Excaliber Data Entry was a scam?  I wondered why it disappeared and they got me for the $55.  LIVE AND LEARN.  Just was trying to get something part-time as DTS, America has been out of work since I started in March....If I have work I can make the line requirement and I have 1 primary and 3 backup accounts. :(
Excaliber Data entry
   It is MY OWN STUPID fault.  My husband said the same thing, anything or anyone who wants money up front. 
Excilaber Data entry
They wanted $55 for a background/criminal check. If you fail the check, then you get refunded but if you fail the test and they do not hire you no refund. The test is Microsoft 2007 which I have never used as I have not needed to. Just sounded like a good thing.

Thanks for responding
Data Entry Specialist job listing?

Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board?  Is this one of those scam or is it a real job?  I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet.  Has anyone here heard anything about it? 


Thanks


Data Entry Specialist Listing

I was wondering if anyone had heard back from this job listing yet?  I got an email today from Stanford Executive Recruitment today with the same information as the job listing and so am assuming that is them.  They want a $14.00 registration fee so I am smelling SCAM.  Just wondering what you all thought or have experienced with this one.


Thanks


 


Yes I'm an MT not a data entry clerk working for free

Yes. Last entry on community board. ALL Web work is overflow.
I am fairly sure all their accounts still have in-house transcription departments. All mine do. The Atlanta account you mentioned started the same time as my main and always has more work than my hospital, which is an account that has almost completely dried up over the last year. STM states they are saving work for their in-house MTs.

level 1 - mt
I need to be taken under someones wing i am a stuggling MT trying to improve my skills.   My accuracy level is less than 90 percent can someone help me get going and get out of this catch 22.  I only have dial -up access.  Nothing else is available.
I'm a level 8. sm
I tested very well and negotiated the level 8 rate. I honestly do not know how common it is, but I'd encourage you to give it a try. =)
You would probably be a level 8 or 9, between 9-10 cpl. nm

Top pay level
is .10/line. There are additional incentives such as for weekends, etc.
Part & Full Time Data Entry & Document Coding Position - Sara McDaniel - HR Administrator
This company has ads on other web sites. You have to pay them $55 to do a background check up front. Guess what? If you don't get hired, they've got your $55. Don't know if it's legit - just posting facts.
What level work was that for? sm
Clinic or acute care?  What level?  TIA
level of testing

 


Can someone tell me type of radiology testing given by Keystrokes, (written, typing test, verbal)...do they have benefits...take out taxes, etc?.  I am thinking seriously about applying if only to do part-time work for a while to see how things pan out. 


I was just hired as a level IV...sm
The recruiter said level IV was acute care with ops and 30-40% ESL dictation.

Not sure what any of the other levels are though. Sorry!
They have NO level 5 accounts, though, never have.
x
What level were you hired at? sm
I was recently hired as an Acute Care Level IV, so I'm anxious to see what the ESL load looks like too. The recruiter said 30-40%, but then she also said it could be less than that. I'm hoping for the latter!!!
MQ has a tier 3 level that is only Ops
nm
Level 3 work

Does anyone else feel this way?  I'm a longtime acute care MT.  I always work my schedule, including weekends and holidays, have 98% to 99% accuracy.  I left MQ because of the changes; for years I averaged 200-250 lph and net $600. per week.  Then they changed platforms and I got nothing but ESL, mealymouths and static.   My income dropped in half and my stress level doubled.  I went to a company that has gotten rave reviews on this board and was put on a good account with fair line counts.  Then it began running out of work just as I was starting to see decent money.  They put me on a backup account (which is all I've been getting for days now, not my primary) and it is nothing but ESLs.  I KNOW there are decent dictators at every facility, and I'm willing to do my share of the bad ones, but ALL BAD?  What gives?  Do they WANT me to quit?  I'm not complaining so don't jump all over me.  I'm just curious if others are noticing this too.


What is a level 2 MT at Mescribe
I was told if I took the position with them I would be a level 2 MT. I asked the recruiter what was a level 2 MT. He said he would have to get back with me after Easter break.  I know they have clinic MTs, ER MTs and Acute care MTs.  Can someone clarify for me what a level 2 MT is at Medscribe.  Thanks
Level 3 MTs at my old co. used to have to do 1700 (sm)
But that was only the level 3/CMT equivalent employees. Level 2's had to do 1400 and level 1's 1200. Pay scale was per level, so if you were paid more you had to produce more.

I wasn't crazy about it.
Wrong on only maybe one level, but probably right on all!

ePLDT, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT


The above is one of their partners.  Obviously they are not based in America. 


The above is from their site, just Google Spi and click on partners.  I am wrong that they are the i service connected to the Philippines, not Korea.  The other i service is connected to and with management in Korea.  Gotta look out for those i guys, I guess.  Korea, Phillipines, who cares?  They are offshore.  They are not our buddies. 


I too type Indian doctors, but they speak English (or attempt to in some cases).   


Thanks for the comments though.  Are, is, who cares?  That is what happens when you type stuff here on your break. 


 


i am not the OP, but I am high level 4, and all of my 4 SM
accounts are in OT now. My account is considered 70% to 90% ESL. So that is just what I have experienced here lately. I suppose you are right about it depending on the level and worktypes that you can do. Definitely talk to the STM, as they are always willing to help you out if they can. Good luck!
Some are tied to QA level, some aren't. sm
But they are very good people and reserve the right to pay you the bonus even if you don't make the QA standard if there is an extenuating circumstance (new account, stuff like that). They have paid me for things like lost documents, etc., so they are not difficult on paying people.
did they mention anything higher than level IV? sm
for higher percentage of ESLs?
What's the difference between low and high level 4?
Just curious what to expect.

Thanks!
