Worst radiology accounts I ever had - sm

Posted By: anon on 2006-02-03
In Reply to: Transhealth radiology MTs.....sm - RADMT

There was more changing screens, adding patient demographics, and typing in yet another screen, that it took longer to set up the report than to type it....awful accounts and sound quality. I hated it.

Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
Their accounts are the worst! nm

Precyse accounts have the worst ESL of all time
I could not believe how horrible the accounts there. Absolutely unbelievable.
Radiology accounts
I haven't had any problems with my line counts at all. Doing as well or better than I did with Medquist now that I'm used to the doctors.
Do they have Radiology accounts?
If so, do you have contact information for them. TIA
can anyone tell me about the radiology accounts...

under DeVenture and T-C Transcription, and who would be the better of the 2?  I don't need benes---main concern is having enough work (at least majority of the time).  Also the platform and pay.  TY


Does anyone know if Amphion has Radiology accounts? sm
I heard there was a clinic side... does that mean specialty accounts?
How bout radiology accounts?

The two radiology accounts I was hired for
at Transtech immediately disappeared after much difficulty getting set up. Not blaming TT per se but not giving them high marks, either. Would suggest you ask questions to determine if any Radiology position is dependable - stay away from the Powerscribe jobs.

Just my experience so take the above with a grain of salt - others may have all positives..
Does Axolotl have ER or Radiology accounts? (sm)
Flexible schedules?  I saw the insurance info about them posted below and it sounds like a good company.  TIA. 
Does Transtech have ER or Radiology accounts? TIA (nm)

Are the Insight Radiology accounts outsourced
Lately NO work in there!
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
Wmx has acute, clinic, radiology and ER accounts. nm
.
The best place for radiology is by far Keystrokes. There have a lot of rad accounts and sm
I know of a few more that are starting this week and the next few weeks. This would be a good time to check with them. I have worked pretty much everywhere before KS. I have been with them for 2 years now and have steady work, good pay and love my account! My backup accounts are good too but I never have time to work on them.
Lots of work on radiology accounts
And whew, are my hands tired....but I made 5th tier the first week and the top bonus tier this week,
That is only for ortho and clinic, not HIM and radiology and only certain accounts. sm
I am Mon-Fri. I have not worked a weekend in 3 years with the exception of one Saturday because I took off on Monday and switched with someone.
I love Webchart! I do not know of anyone with radiology accounts on it. sm
Can you share?
Information on Keystrokes Radiology Accounts

I would like to hear from anyone who WORKS at Keystrokes doing their radiology accounts and how it is going for them; i.e. pay, enough work, do you get paid per line/per report.  Thanks so much! 


I have worked for them for 4 years. There are always new radiology accounts. sm
They have grown a lot since I started and radiology seems to be what they grow the most in. I know that this month alone, 3 different radiology accounts have started and from what I hear, all are pretty good.
Is it easy to get line counts on Precyse radiology accounts?? sm

anyone using dial up with radiology accts, are you getting good line counts?  i've done a search on archives and reading info about the company.  anyone else radiology-wise care to share their experience?


thanks!


I work on acute care accounts, so I can't speak for the radiology side. (SM)
The work does look like it's beginning to pick up though for acute care.
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
Worst of the worst...I agree with RUN
Please - don't learn the hard way!  You will only waste your time and run the risk of not making anything to boot unless you have a relative who is a big city lawyer.  Under the sugar coating is something very bitter.
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.

I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm
nm
Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts?  What platforms do they use?  Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators?  Thanks in advance
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


Please do not go there. It is the worst!
nm
MDI-FL is the worst of them all.
x
Worst than the 1st one, can't believe she did it again!
nm
I don't think it's the worst

If you're fast, you might just make production.


No they are not. They are the worst
nm
Worst
Transcription Relief Services. It may be better now, but was absolutely the worst when I was there.
WORST ESL
Ever and the first time I transcribed one, I was given 91% QA on the document.  Not to happy about that.
DSG IS THE WORST EVER!!!
Another company who starts off great and then turns nasty! I planned on retiring from there in about 10 years. I actually worked for them for more than 3 years. With their massive expansion a few months ago came really rude e-mails or no response to questions, being switched on accounts with VERY different specifics endlessly, IM messages to interrupt your day for their endless *emergencies,* etc. I produced big time for them and had an outstanding QA record. They abused my good nature one time too many. I am happy where I am right now. THEIR loss!!
DSG for sure is the WORST...
I like when management BEGGED us to go on MTstars and post positive things, because they are getting bashed so badly... and I know for fact that one of the higher ups told me that she goes on and posts and changes her initials... so all of this happy, feel good stuff is probably from the people at the home office...
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
It is not "THE WORST"!
Please, give it a try. I love it and I work out of the Dallas office. I have a couple of friends that have worked out of other offices and were not exactly thrilled, but I think the Dallas office is the best.
Definitely the worst at communication!!
If you have problems, oh well.. If you have a complaint, oh well... If you check is always penalized, oh well... If you have realized that the line counts NEVER add up with ANY program, oh well.. Now, you get the idea.  They could care less. There is a reason why people from other countries should not run an American business. They have no idea what your saying or care and you cannot get through to them in PLAIN ENGLISH because they do not understand that language. They only understand "PENALIZE" that is their favorite word. I am sorry but I had to vent.
The worst part is...
I've been there a long time, took their crap, worked extra when asked, always had quality above 98.5, always made my line count, worked the last 2 months straight because they were behind, now there is hardly any work, worked all the major holidays for the last 2 years and this is how they repay that kind of loyalty. It makes me sad and I feel like a fool for being used for so long. All I want to do is type and do a good job. It won't be rewarded there unfortunately. I'm worried about going from the frying pan to the fire but it can't get worse than the above can it?
I thought they were the worst. (sm)
After I was hired and before actually beginning transcription with them, I had an inkling it wasn't going to be nice when I was mailed account specifics including lots and lots of QA memos with things like HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE THIS?!!!! and countless similar things. It may have just been one or two people, but that kind of thing is infectious in a QA department.

As far as the accounts, not just ESL, but the worst quality ESL I've ever encountered.

The owner was known for her rants on another well-known bulletin board. She also said she wouldn't sell, so when she did, naturally people were upset. Of course it was her right to sell, but those kinds of promises should never be made.

I count them as one of my worst experiences. I left after a short while and never regretted the decision. I was only sorry that I had to put such a stupid-sounding name of a company on my resume when looking for a real job.
Yes. Not the best but not the worst. The best thing is that I do not
run out of work, and I am a high producer. That is very important to me.
The worst thing is that most of these SM
companies actually work to hire and keep the 2nd set--the ones who really don't want to be there.  The rest of us, well we can hit the road if we don't like it--that's why we have to hop around so much.
