I did an acct like that moons ago. It seemed like I was typing forever. Forget it! nm

You take the Geritol and start typing, Missy. Big brother is watching! They
Can't put up with that kind of bull from my employer!
I just started actually typing last week. sm
When I hired in they asked what size I wanted for MT week. I haven't gotten it yet but probably will this week. I was impressed they even asked and I hadn't even started. They are wonderful to work for.
no, isn't 2 week vacation but technically is. new acct isn't ready on go live date so we get

$700 a week?!!! You trying to start something here???nm

I'm due to start next week and this has

all been a bit unsettling for me too.  I'm pretty dependable so I'm not terribly worried about a schedule, but I'm worried about line count.  I need to do 1200+ lines a day, and I don't think that is an unreasonable number, but I'm starting to worry about how much time I'm going to be given to reach it. 


I have to tell you I'm wavering a bit, wondering if I would be better off where I am. 


 


me too! I start this week. I had to sm
get cable internet because mine wasn't fast enough on the upload. Its in and I am waiting for my ID numbers from the hospital. They have treated me like a queen adn I haven't even started.

I too am excited about a job again!!!!!!!!!
I start mine next week. They have sm
already sent me a nice gift for MT week and I haven't even started yet!!!!!!!!
Hey Fingers! I start next week. sm
Had to decide to put in cable internet instead of what I had. It is installed Monday. I have everything I need, people have been wonderful and I haven't even started yet. Even got a nice gift for MT week and haven't typed a line yet!

I sure feel like a valued employee before I even start!

Thanks for asking! How you doing?
I know, but we will have it cleaned out to start the week and then it is (sm)
the last week of the payperiod and seems like people are always having to try to make up lines/hours that week.

Good luck to us all.
I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL.  When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle.  I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so.  He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had.  Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan. 
Will start training next week... any input on what to expect?
thanks.
I lost an acct with MQ, called the hospital and they told me who had the acct. I chose not to go wi

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...

I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion.  Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more?  Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day.  I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid.  I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care.  I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do.  I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work.  I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too.  Any suggestions?


TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?
x
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm

I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.

RAD ACCT
It is probably true because it is a radiology account.

which acct
which account are you currently working on, or you would say is a bad one. Thanks
What acct
What acct do you work on? If you are on BeyondTxt T mode there is no work. I don't know how you girls who need benefits are paying for them.
acct
Thanks for replying. The problem is I did have my own account and they decided not to pay me for over a month and because I said something about not being paid they took offense. SO what can you do. Its a win-lose situation. Now I just have to hope that the check clears!
KS Onc acct
If you are working on the KS onc acct please email me.
FN New acct
Are we talking about the new acct with the 1 million lines?.  What a joke.  I'm lucky to do 500 lines a day and that is only by working on 3 different accts.  And I found out the new acct will be going to VR, which I don't do.  I'm a transcriptionist, not an editor.
KS acct

Do you know which acct you would be working on?


If it were your acct, you would already know.
They don't keep it a secret. One of mine, large hospital on the East Coast, is leaving today. I've known for at least a month. They chose not to renew their contract with us. It happens.
.06 OB acct
I felt the same way, ladies. In fact, I recently went from a .0725 (knocked down from 0.825) GROSS LINE ACCT to a .06 transcription rate acct with HORRIFIC docs - worst I've had since starting ne.arly 23 years ago. I was offered VR (with even worse docs, so basically re-typing it ALL) for .02 cpl.

I guess you can understand why I'm on the job hunt
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Is this a rad acct and do they have openings? (nm)
xx
I loved that acct too....
Typical M-Q then one day it just vanished.
my acct has about 80-90% ESLs
my back up account is worse. 
That seems like it could be true, my acct is So Cal
and most of the patients are not Caucasian or are ethnic (is that PC?), as well as the dictators.
Same here, about 40-50 regular drs on my acct, with
probably 10 of them being so awful, I can hardly attempt them. I'm happy to say that some I hated at first are now ones I enjoy, so hopefully I will keep finding that to be the case. Others though, UGH!
No, DRC is not really "atrocious acct" but... sm
It is NOT easy stuff... My experience has been lots of cutting-edge oncology in all specialties. If you don't know your stuff you'll be researching more than typing. Very few ESLs and, yes, the platform is Word-based, and, no, no need to be a computer wiz--tech support is great at DRC and so is QA support.
Your radiology acct
Are you working certain hours/days/evenings and are you working weekends?  What is holiday pay per report?
Your radiology acct
Do you have a lot of ESL docs?
TT onco acct

Can't you get a backup account?  That's what I did.  They are not all slow at the same time, usually.  I get better count on onco acct than on my other.


Well I was doing VR for an acct at 1.80 report. sm
They cut pay to 3.5 to 5.5 cents per line under the manager I was under. I know a lot of people left. Just curious as to if any are here on this board.
Ortho acct
i have been offered ortho, which i have a great deal of experience. How much would you say per hour you make at 7.5 WI spaces. I really have a lot of quesstions and if possible would like to e-mail you direct. Also can the ShortHand program be used
I know which acct you are talking about but (sm)
trust me (or not) there are TONS of work on others, one I know FOR SURE.  Have you asked for a backup??
