Also want feedback on TransHealth and WEBMEDX

Posted By: MQer ready to jump ship on 2005-11-18
In Reply to: Any current feedback on TransHealth? They've been - advertising a lot. Growth or turnover? nm

They both sound like great companies...I'm trying to decide between TransHealth and Webmedx.....both have great websites and I don't think I've seen anything negative about either one of them in the archives. I just don't want to jump out of the MQ frying pan into a bigger fire!

Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
Webmedx/Transhealth
Are these 2 companies now merged? Anybody know if they pay QA hourly and if so how much? Is this a good company to work for in QA. Any helpful info is much appreciated.
Webmedx and Transhealth

I have seen a few ads for WebMedX that say:


For candidates who desire company-provided equipment, please fill out our online application at www.webmedx.com  AND For candidates who wish to use their own equipment, please apply online at www.transhealth.com.


I'm confused....does that mean they are the same company?  So you can work as an IC for WMX, but you can only work as SE for Transhealth....Right?


TIA



 


Webmedx or Transhealth? In respect to SM

bennies, pay, # of ESLs, flexibility, etc.


Would love to know your personal experience as I'm seriously considering both.


TIA


Webmedx buys Transhealth.

We received an e-mail today stating this. 


Unhappy QA at Webmedx -- Transhealth questions

I'm yet another unhappy CQI/QA member at Webmedx and have to say a big THANK YOU to anyone who has ever spoken up about their negative experiences at Webmedx (though I understand anybody who's too afraid to speak publicly, which seems to be the majority of the QA department!). I realize that it takes much more courage to speak up than kiss up or stay quiet, so I always appreciate anybody who comes to these boards and posts.   And anybody who's been in this industry any amount of time knows that the adage all mention of the company is good advertising doesn't apply to this field.  Things have definitely taken a turn for the worst with the QA portion of the company, IMO.


I have questions about Transhealth, which has been recommended as an alternative to doing QA at Webmedx.   I'd like to know what the upper management of TransHealth is like.  Is the person who manages the QA department someone with a background in MT, or is it someone who is a data puncher but doesn't even do that well?   Do they express support for QA, or do they seek to squelch communication online and in the department through intimidation because they're afraid of criticism and fallout of their decisions?  Do they have several people at the top who handle different departments, or do they have one person in several roles, perhaps all of which they're unqualified for?   What kind of quota is there, and how are you paid?   Does ALL your work count toward the quota, or do you find yourself doing a lot of work that doesn't qualify? 


I realize this is much to answer.    Please feel free to add anything else you'd like that would help me make a choice.  Thank you!

TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, Spheris

Can anyone give me current information on working as a QA for TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, and Spheris?  Do they pay hourly? How do they test? Employee or IC positions? Workflow? Do they require 100% listen on all reports or are some fill in the blanks?


Are there any companies you would recommend for a QA position and can you please provide above-requested info?  


Thank you all for your help and kindness in providing any information possible.


 


Webmedx bought TransHealth, but it appears
they are still 2 separate companies for now, still using both names.  Webmedx had a couple of ads posted this week or last that said they paid QA hourly, but I don't know their rate.  I hated it from day one there but I was an MT.  I don' know how it is on the QA end, though several or us complained about QA because we never got feedback and work was bypassing QA and going directly to the client.  They have overhired MTs, but have severely underhired QA. 
I do know Webmedx bought TransHealth a couple of months ago. nm

Anyone currently working Webmedx/Transhealth radiology would care to share info on them - sm
Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website?  If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window.  Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted.  TIA. 
Feedback
I always get answers to my emails at SPI Healthcare Documentation.
Thanks for the feedback! sm
Thanks so much for replying. The only downside I can see is that I need to purchase Word 2003 to work with their software and that's a bit of a financial stretch right now, but worth it in the long run, of course, if things work out well.

Thanks again! :)
appreciate the feedback, but looking
hopefully for someone working with them now or very recently.

Overhire, loads of ESLs, line count on some accounts hard to get. Prior posts comment on high cost of insurance.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. :) NM

Thanks to ALL for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.
I need full-time with benefits also.  I just don't want to spend the time testing if they don't offer employment status. Anywho, thank you much.
Any feedback on...

Any feedback on OSi Transcription Services?  I'm looking to get my foot in the door with a good company to work for.


Thanks,

Feedback
I don't think anyone particularly cares to be corrected. However, sometimes even QA'ers are even corrected, or worse yet, depended upon to correct vital errors. It is definitely a sensitive and stressful situation for all involved. I think an issue comes into play when MTs are not paid enough but yet expected to produce a perfect report. A QA/editor in this position would certainly be at a disadvantage in the popularity category. No one is going to like this Ms. Smartypants no matter how the feedback is delivered. Companies need to compensate more and give the MTs the recognition they deserve. Most MTs will work hard and want to do a good job if they are recognized monetarily, or even appreciated. At present, MTs feel unappreciated and worked to death. To me, its kinda like a sweatshop mindset going on these days. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Need feedback
On WebMedx (spelling?).  Any and all, please.
TY for the feedback sm
where do you work now if I may ask and how do you like it there? I'm currently looking for a FT MT position with flexible scheduling.
Thanks for feedback-sm

How do you like working on the Emdat platform?  Do you find it to be productive? 


TiA!


Thanks for all the feedback!
I really appreciate it!!
No QA feedback either. JMO

MDI feedback
I wholeheartedly agree this is not normal for MDI and probably has something to do with the email problems that are going on. Definitely call.
Thanks for the feedback!

I'll wait and see what happens and maybe contact the office later this week.  Overall, it sounds like a good company to work for.


 


Thanks for the feedback, everyone...
I sent out about a dozen resumes this weekend!
MDI feedback
Everybody is different. :) I love all the emails, really makes me feel connected.
Feedback
It would have been okay if the e-mails were just feedback, but they seldom were.  I didn't find most of the e-mails to even be necessary, as they were mostly just account status updates, which we could see when we logged on anyway.  I had over 30 e-mails one day, which I thought was a bit excessive.  I am just one who likes to be left alone to work.  They were nice enough people though. 
Thanks all for your feedback
I've got some dialogue going and it helps to know I'm not alone in getting a bit of a slow start.
Thank you for your feedback

I thank all of you for talking about your experiences with companies.  I have to revise my look before you leap into look before, during, and after you leap.  All your comments help a job seeker to be aware of questions to ask.  Sometimes knowing that you do NOT know something is far more valuable than knowing something.  I am grateful you all took the time to respond to me y muchos gracias por su ayuda. 


OSI feedback
Anybody have any feedback on how they like working for OSI?  Fair line counts?  Good management?  How their Dictaphone EXText is to use?    Good health insurance at a fair premium?      
Feedback...
I have been an SE there for 5 years and like it very much. Plenty of work on my account 99% of the time. I have zero complaints and would recommend them.
Feedback on MDI
Are they a good company to work for?  Anyone work there as statutory?  Do they really pay 9-11 cpl?  Thanks.

I got hired by Transcend as did a friend of mine, and the recuiter was lovely. However, their training was such disaster and very frustrating. I had a headache and was very upset after the first 2 hours and still had not learned to type a report. I declined to go any further with their training and my friend trained and then lasted one whole day before she quit. Their platform is user unfriendly. Worked for eTransPlus in TN for a very short time since they use re-record and the sound is horrible. Much time was spent just trying to hear the dictation because of such poor audio. I have worked for MDI-Maryland now for 2 years and they are wonderful with an easy platform (Bayscribe), excellent tech support if you need it which is not very often because their platform is very easy and user friendly. The account liasons and company personnel is the best with the greatest team spirit to be part of and plenty of work. They are so appreciative of their MTs. Just my opinion for what it is worth.
If getting no feedback, being able to SM
see your old reports is a must.  We can at webmedx.  I'd leave wherever you are ASAP and have that be one of the questions you ask when you are trying to get a new position.
QA feedback :)
Most of us object to the QA who acts like a Condo Commander - not to those just offering helpful criticism.

Too bad you can't forward those long emails to your supervisor to deal with...
QA feedback
Copies of all my QA feedback, as well as the corrected reports, go to the manager of the account. I do admit that after making the same suggestions/comments for the same MT repeatedly, and seeing no improvement in the quality of the work, I tend to show my frustration in my feedback.
Feedback
If you really want feedback, look at your accession # a couple of days later to see what the blank was.
thanks to both for feedback

I read the archives after I posted my message and that spooked me plenty. But, I decided to simply ask the line rate and method of counting lines, and that nearly floored me.  They use MS Word (and you know what a terrific line counter that has), and they pay 5 cpl. Can you believe that?

I've already declined the position because of the line rate, but I'm expecting flack just the same.


Thanks for your feedback on JLG and SS
from present employees, which is best in your opinion, or why do you love it where you are... Obviously TT is the wrong road to take, or at least my instinct is saying to be very careful... as the board note says don't make decisions based on things said here, but it sure helps to get feedback. Thanks again.
Did you get any feedback
on Proscript?  Have you tested?

Medical-Legal Transcription - Orly Lindsey/Video Instanter


Thanks for the feedback
I have decided not to pursue their offer. I really prefer to use my own equipment, not rent/lease/security deposit from the company.
Feedback sm.
Thanks for your post. I'm doing acute care actually for them. Work was plenty when I started, but sporadic for the last three weeks. I'm an IC for them. They pay on time, never any problems or questions. They leave me alone and I rarely hear from them - they just let you be and do your work. As far as sound quality, it's not great, but it's pretty good. Lots of ESLs and since they're a soft-spoken bunch anyway (you know how that is...) it's hard to hear them with the volume turned up full blast. I've had worse sound quality, though there is room for improvement, but again it's not horrible.

I do like working for them for all of the above reasons - pay on time, they let you work and don't bother you constantly.

I appreciate your post and good luck with your interview. Glad to hear they're getting new accounts. You're probably right - the work is low across the board - just hoping it'll pick up soon. I wish I could find a part-time gig as well, but so far no luck - most are looking for FT. I'll hang in there and see what September brings. The people are very nice and the QA Department gave me lots of feedback for my first 2-3 weeks there, so overall I would have to say they're a good company to work for. Good luck again with your interview!!
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Transolutions. Feedback please.
Anybody work for this company now. They don't seem to pay very well and they do background checks and lots of other stuff that require tons of paperwork. Is it worth it? Do any other MT companies do this? My background is clean, I just never heard of anybody doing this before.
I have great feedback from MDI-FL.
It's strange how some people can love a place and others have a completely opposite view. That's America, I guess.
Landmark feedback
I have been with Landmark now for about 10 days, super-nice people to work for, very flexible, gave me cpl rate that I would NEVER have gotten with MQ (based on what I read on this board) great accounts. I'm very happy now :) They are small though and dont pay for internet, but MQ was taking that anyway, and I am still ahead of the game $$-wise. No complaints here so far!
