In Reply to: physical - trisha
but hospital employees still have to have a physical, pretty extensive one too - - I used to be one but got out of that employee status, prefer the Diskriter employee status, believe you can get both there though whichever floats your boat

Physical was done at my local hospital Occ-Med Dept. I did not need a drug test.
Physical??
 Certainly you jest! A physical to work at home??
physical
No you have to take an extensive physical, hearing test, eye exam, drug screen (of course), etc.
what do you mean no physical ?? -
I had to have a full physical, drug test, hearing test, background check, the works - and this was in October. I had to pay for the whole thing myself and then wait to get reimbursed! I no longer work there because I could not handle being on two/three accounts a day and trying to maintain 1200 lines was sooooo hard. I have always typed 1600-2000 lines/day and the switching of accounts made it near impossible to accomplish this goal.

Obviously you did not read the entire sentence, I was responding to Ginny's question....... I said, No you have to take an extensive physical, hearing test, eye exam, drug screen (of course), etc. you have to take an extensive physical....................
Physical Therapy
I have to beg to differ with your last paragraph. I work for a small owned company and I am assigned all of the physical therapists, (speech and one OT is included in this group) and I have no problem making money in this field. As a matter of fact, I asked for part time but the way these PT's talk, I'm almost full time with my line count. I'm sorry you aren't having a good experience, maybe it's just not a properly run situation?
Yeah! I'm in better physical condition at 59 than
Chronological age: 59
Adjusted age for immaturity: 12
Clinic notes or physical therapy?
Hello,
Does anyone have suggestions for companies that hire for physical therapy or just general transcription/clinic work? I've tested at several companies and did not score high enough apparently to do acute care, even though I did not leave so many blanks, I thought. My problem was with the actual transcription; passed the other part of tests. Really discouraged right now. TIA--
do you mean part time or physical therapy. nm

My better half in the union and he is required to have a physical by
the company doctor ever so often. I am sure his medical records have been reviewed. He also undergoes drug tested whenever the company feels the whim to have 1 done. He loves his job, I love his job. He makes excellent money. We have no fears, concerns, hesitations about the process his company decides on because they are on the safe side of the fence.
Are there companies that hire for physical or occupational therapy?
nm
Nope, but if I remember correctly you have to do a physical and all that jazz wherever you are.
This was back in 2005 when Diskriter first landed the Florida hospital. I worked there and had to actually take a three page form to my doctor to fill out. I had to pay for my own urine drug screen and TB test administered for a local lab and provide the lab with a postage paid envelope to mail the results directly to the hospital in Florida.
I put up a fuss because I thought all that was a little much for a remote MT position, especially when you consider that I would probably never set foot inside the facility so who cared if I passed my physical and got a TB test?
The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.
Physical address is Texas, website states "supporting health info globally since

Exactly and the CMT should be a requirement
to practice! That has been proven by the absolutely atrocious quality of MT'ing today. Trust me, I have been a recruiter, a mentor/trainer, a supervisor and QA, I've seen it all and it ain't pretty.
Line requirement
I was told 6,000/two week period.
Line requirement
What I meant to post, 6,000 lines/two weeks for a part timer, 12,000 lines/two weeks for a full time worker, whether you are statutory or employee
IS THERE A MINIMAL REQUIREMENT?
and do they give you the equipment to use?
The only requirement of a recruiter
is to get bodies in the door. Some are honest and some aren't. If you have a bad gut feeling then you need to go with that. My experience has been that the ones who are good recruiters have all the answers on the fly; if not, they can put you on hold to get the answer, or get back soon.
Of course you may have gotten a recruiter who just started and you are asking questions no one had given her/him answers for. Geez, the percentage of retention for the past year? That's an arbitrary question in any event due to a number of different factors and one I wouldn't even ask. I know my skill set so for me it's just knowing if they have a system I can make money on and if there is sufficient work to make money.
Weekend requirement
Is any two weekend days per month. Friday PM shift also counts as a weekend.

The reason for this requirement is....sm
the speed and success of transferring voice files over a dialup ISP usually cause a lot of problems and take a person at least 2 x as long to download a file, most commonly 3 times as long.
Do you have satellite ISP availability?
line requirement
What is the line requirement for them for full time?
Alltype - New MT requirement) sm
I tested, had recruiter interview, given install date and emailed the paper work which included Appendix G provide and maintain Professional Liability Insurance, required by law.
When I asked about this, was told, part of renters or home owners insurance for PC. But when I called around, insurance companies -- said no, & puzzled by this requirement. I asked well how would the company benefit, they said, I don't know. In the event of loss, they pay to me, not the employing company.
Anybody run into to this job requirement before with them or others??
The full time requirement is (sm)
1000 lpd. Not sure about part time. I am on the new ortho account that just started. I just started so cannot really answer the next question, but they seem to give you a primary and leave it at that. They do like to cross train, which everyone does. They send a foot pedal, but you get online with the tech person to download the software. It is very user friendly and the best I have ever worked on!!
Line requirement is 11,000 per pay period. sm
You keep a time sheet and turn it in every 2 weeks. I am not sure as to how much time you are given to get up to speed, but they are a great bunch of people and seem to be very understanding and caring. I am sure they would work with you if you were having problems. And yes, you can make up your time if you are missing some hours. Hope that helps.
Good luck!

What is line requirement at Transtech?
Line count requirement
There are different pay levels. To stay at the top level, you need to do 200 lph minimum. P.S. The web site is www.transolutions.net for more info.
Experience requirement for Keystrokes
I am just a few months shy of 3 years experience. Does anyone know if it is worth it for me to apply?
what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule.
as a minimal requirement:? That's ridiculous

Every company has a minimal requirement.
Besides, radiology lines add up a lot faster than regular transcription.
Yes, partially, if a line requirement is met per PP.

Part time requirement is now
750 lines per day, I think.
Couldn't it be that more MTs are working 40 hrs now, due to the new requirement?? sm
Rather than assuming webmedx MUST BE doing something? I know I'm getting in all my hours.
Sounds nice but if it's a job requirement
I'm FT and it's 1200 lines...Not sure what PT requirement is (nm)

What is your minimum line requirement for FT?
Just curious what all is out there....thanks.
One-weekend day per week requirement...
|
I presently work for a company that requires one week-end day every week. I've been browsing through the job list on MT Daily and all of them so far also require one weeke-end day per week . Why is this? It's kind of a depressing thought to think the rest of your work days on this earth will include one weekend day. Can't they just find people who want to work weekends only and pay them a differential? I know there are times in my life when just working weekends would have worked for me, there must be others out there. I think it's rather gutsy to require everyone to work a weeken day. Oh for the days of ole when MT's could work whatever days and hours they wanted. And made good money on top of it. And mostly English-speaking doctors. |
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.
Also I was told there is a 20 hour per week requirement (sm)
along with the 4,000 line. I have been an IC with this company since 1998 and just found this out about a week ago. Nothing in anything I actually signed, they were just "letting me know" to maintain my status this was the requirement.
As above, each office is different although I think they are trying to get more uniform across the board.
Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?
 I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe. 
I thought the line requirement was 1200 for SE - sm
Do you have any idea why this person above is saying 1400 lines/pay period and telling me to brush up on my math skills? I'm confused! I only want to do 1000 lines per day right now, at least until my youngest is off to Kindergarten! I guess it depends on how easy it is to make 1200 lines/pay period. I could give it a shot to try for their incentive bonus and if I find I am doing it consistently, maybe change my status. Thanks for your help!
line count requirement at Webmedx
Last week I trained on a my account,which is very large with many dicators. Today is the end of my first full week of production and I am averaging 110 lph. The requirements are 150 lph. My trainer said that studies show it takes an average of 30 days to get used to a new account and reach production. Therefore, I have 2 more weeks to reach 150 lph,and I am worried. My supervisor said to work towards goal, but I know line count is the bottom line. Can any Webmedx MTs shed some light on what they have experienced. Also, is it usually customary to give at least 90 days? My quality is good;however, I really need to crank out the lines. Thanks
I have been with them 3 weeks and already surpassed the requirement. The platform
is very easy to use and easy to be productive on. As the other poster said, they are a wonderful bunch of people and I am sure they would work with you in any way you needed.
Requirement jacked up after good work goes
What's really great is how they jacked up the minimun requirements after ASR and Precyse International took all the good work, so it's now all crap all the time and you'd better do more of it or else. I'm very disappointed in this company.
Same here. When there is no work, how are you supposed to make the requirement
