I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm

the people are great.  I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.



I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.

How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
I've had great luck. it is hit or miss as with ANYWHERE..
depends what they are looking for at any given time.

Sponsors, companies know. can see through the padding.
easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
Cbay used to give great bonuses. Going to miss that

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

not easy to find
find it after clicking on company board, as it's not listed after you click forums and only after you click on company board...
Find out what type of reports you

will be getting on your shift.  Pay per report is great if you are getting a majority  short routine examinations, such as chest x-rays, lots of canned/normal reports.  If you are on a teaching hospital account the docs have a tendency to ramble on and on, and per line is better.  Some MRI's and CT scans be quite lengthy too.  Ask about the specific account you will be on:  Do they  have canned normals, do the docs routinely use the normals, what majority of exams will be Interventional versus routine.  Both 9 cents and $1.25 are a fair rate of pay. 


Also consider the reputations of both of the companies.  Which one offers the better benefits, what is your gut feeling.  Is it possible to work for both for awhile to get a feel for them?  Hope this helps.


It is easy once you are used to it. I love it! xx

Would love to know what type reports
you are transcribing to get 2000 lines at 80 to 90 mins. Personally with my work, the line count is usually pretty close to the minute count, i.e., 90 minutes equals 900 lines.
Easy. No problem. Its a breeze. You will not find it difficult in the least!
xx
Yes, I use it and love it. No problems, easy
a real breeze. Highly recommend it. They have a 30 day free trial - try it out and see how you like it. I wouldn't work as an IC without it.
Yeah, I love them too, except the real easy ones are being

Love Ex-Text - easy to learn
nm
I love ExText. Why do you say run? It is fast, easy to use sm
and my line counts are right on the money (verified often).

General statements can be misleading. Just because YOU had a bad experience, why tell people to run from a platform that is used by literally thousands and hospitals????
I was down about the account last week but now love it. It was easy to get used to. The first sm
day was really rough, the second was a just as bad but 2 weeks into it and I really like it. My counts are good too, averaging right around 1400 lines a day, which is good for these old fingers. Docuscribe is great, but I have worked on it before for the big Q.
I love the K. Long reports, good lines.
nm
I love ExText, others don't. It'll eat a report once in a while, but otherwise it's easy to
s
Also love ExText even though the line counts can be low. Easy to use! nm

Great people, IC only, low pay, easy accounts, sm

direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.


Hope this helps.  Good luck!


Great company other than below. Decent pay, easy

platform, they usually don't pester you to work OT if they have it, they pay for downtime, QA very tough, strict schedule, daily QA feedback, monthly QA score.


If you screw up be prepared to be yelled out like a 5-YO.  Work your schedule, follow account specifics, produce a quality product and you'll never hear from anyone. 


Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 
Do you know what scares me? The great disservice you are doing to the people whose medical reports

.


I love it! Nothing like the old blue screen Meditech. User friendly and easy to use! sm
I also get paid gross line, which helps, but very easy to use!
I love it. Expander is built into it, as are site notes, sample reports,splchk. nm

Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm

incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time.  The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus.  I have been there since October and am very happy.  Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.


 


Good luck! 


As a QA, I agree with this. I correct the reports &
don't pay attention to who the MT is, unless of course I've been instructed to look out for a certain error an MT is repeatedly making, etc. Why on earth would we ever be 'out to get' anyone? We're all in this together, and our job is to produce the best report possible for the client. When I was MTing, I looked forward to my corrections because I knew I could learn something from those more experienced, and I wanted to do the best job possible & learn as much as I could. If something needs correcting, don't take it personally.
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm

I'd love to find something like that too, but
The only jobs I've ever found like thisare in the general and legal transcription field. I work for one of each on a p.r.n. basis. When they get the work they send an email out and see if you are available to take the file, and if you are fine, it not you can decline it.
How would you know? I would love to find out sm
what the owners of the company I work for have. They make it sound like they are struggling, but I find that hard to believe. Is there a place to look it up? Just being curious and a bit nosy!
I agree Chartnet is very easy
to use, however I do use my Expander all the time.  My old hands need all the help they can get. 
IMEs
I would definately charge for the templates also. FYI, IMEs are REEally good money makers. The best of luck to you!
What are IMEs? nm

agree, I think extext is the only one with archived reports
//
Agree about Oncology, not easy account . sm
to learn, especially the medications, about half of which are experimental and not on the FDA-approved marked yet - thus, limited lookup and references on them.  I did Oncology FT for 3.5 years at the Q for MD Anderson and was quite a challenging account/specialty that had to be slowly learned.
I have done IMEs for years...
I have done IMEs for years and did not need ONE report per day for months in order to prove my ability to do them. Either you can or you can't. You would think things could move on a little faster than 2 to 3 months. I agree IMEs need no room for error, nor does any other report for that matter, but let's be real, the post read SMALL report per day...what a waste of time. One can either prove they know what they're doing with test files, or they can't.
I would love to find another organization dedicated
to the American MT. I dropped AAMT really quick when I found what they were doing. In one of their news releases they more or less blamed American MTs for the need to go overseas to find members. They were begging for more members because of the loss of money to the organization.
I agree, strong accusations and easy to do anonymously.
Use your real name, like Rhonda had the guts to do. Even if what you say about Rhonda is half way true (doubtful) -- at least she had the guts to use her real name.
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.
nm
All I know is, when you find a great place, let me know,
I WANNA LEAVE THE Q ALSO, JUST TOO AFRAID.   I think they made me crazy....
great. well i'd like to find another company.
i've lost my main account, on a seriously crappy account with a supervisor who has a large stick up her butt. I can't make any money here and I'm about ready to just quit and do something else.
IMEs and Peer Reviews
Have 15+ years of experience in this field.  Any suggestions on how to find additional work???
That's what I'm thinking. The ad is intriguing but so vague. Would love to know if anyone find
xx
I agree. Big factors- ease of dictators, length of reports, platform. NM

TransTech is a great company. I don't find that they have any more ESL's than any other
company. The pay is good (not great, not bad), the benefits are affordable. For me, the best thing is that I feel I am treated with respect. They are great people who care about us. Overall, this is the best jobs I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
I love working on Meditech. I find it faster than other programs. It really does sm
depend on the account, the version, your connection, etc. There is not a lot of donated time in my opinion. I type upwards of 3000 lines per day (65 character count, not gross) and only work 8 hours. The spellcheck is medical on the account I am on. I use my Expanders for everything. Most of us on the account I am on do over 1500 lines a day, so maybe different accounts are set up different at the actual hospital. I have never lost a report in the middle, although I read that a lot here. I have been working on it for over 3 years.
Great job! I love it. sm
I think we should take it to the media, definitely. It's time that we put a stop to this crap and take the bull by the horns. I, for one, am getting out of this b.s. industry and going back to school!
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
