Does background check include credit check?

You must go through FBI background check
and it is VERRRRY thorough.
background check
Other than that they do a Background check, seems to be a pretty reputable company.
If I can do a background check on them to

background check
I work for a smaller company who does work for some larger hospitals and they do require background checks for all employees whether you work directly for the hospital or for the transcription company.  I would say most of the more reputable companie do require these checks.
You can also do a background check on companies
Check with the BBB and check with other agencies for reports against the company.

As an MTSO myself, I encourage that. It's always a good idea to check out what you're getting into. I have no problem with MTs sharing this information on a message board, either. I think it's a good thing. If an MTSO has a history of not paying employees, that is definitely something an MT needs to know in advance and if other MTs failed to report that to the BBB or other agencies, a message board may be the only place you can find that info.

However, when I work for someone, even if I have a problem with that company or person, I will keep my mouth shut until I quit. Once you no longer have a working relationship with them, then it's fair game. Until then, I prefer to zip my lip. I don't burn my bridges in case I would like a reference later and quitting always looks better on a resume than being let go. It's not a matter of loyalty, just good business sense. It will always be more beneficial to you, the MT, to keep your thoughts to yourself until you sever the working relationship.
you pee in a cup, they do background check, 30 days for ins.

BACKGROUND CHECK ON EVERYONE REGARDLESS WHAT ACCOUNTS

 


I was offered a position with Diskriter a couple of months ago for one of their biggest accounts and as their employee.  I decided against it was they needed to know my life, past and present, all my addresses, etc.  Not to mention they sent me about 30 different forms to fill out.  It was unreal.


I have nothing to hide but it is really none of their business about my personal life as long as it does not affect them or my job. 


spheris background check
Does Spheris do background checks and if they do-for what reason do they not hire??
I agree with you about this, but the background check business...sm

has happened to  me before.  I DO have something that I'd rather not share with others, but my supervisors are aware of it.  If it comes up in a background check (it is not criminal and has not shown up previously) they are aware of it, I have not lied about it and it should not cause any problems.  I have been through this with 2 other companies in the recent past, no problems.


Background checks are expensive and I think the cost of doing a check in depth on everyone would be cost prohibitive.  Right now, if you know it or not, everyone who is employed in the US has to prove citizenship and eligibility to work in the US.  This is part of the Homeland Security Act and absolutely nothing to do with TT or their PEOs.  I am a recent hire and I had to go through this process with the previous PEO.  If you are legal to work in the US, you have nothing to worry about. There is your background check and you have George Bush to thank for it. 


I wonder about some of you reactionaries.  What ever happened using common sense?  My mother told me not to believe everything I hear.  I extend that to not believing everything I read from an unreliable source, like a message board.  


 


They asked for a background check but most companies do, don't they?
They asked for $55 for my background check. I have tried to search, Google, ect, and I can't find anything about them except more job listings. Any advice at all for a struggling newbie?
Get ready for the 'FBI type' background check

I refused to complete all of that paperwork and be subjected to such an extensive background check so I can work in my 'home office'.  I don't have any negatives, but thought this was rediculous, especially since I would be working from home. I think companies should focus on making sure the patients information is private.


I understand the premise of doing a simple background check, but they do a much more than that. Good luck.


no longer require physicals, but background check
a must - - hospitals that use their service require it, does not mean it is Diskriter policy but the hospital who use their service - - with all the identify theft out there, I didn't mind it at all - - if you don't have anything to hide you shouldnt either
Yes, I was told that you had to have a drug test and background check.

Doesn't Diskriter require criminal background check?
.
I can totally understand a drug test and criminal background check, but...sm
personally I don't feel you can always judge the caliber of an employee based on a credit report. I know plenty of people who are the salt of the earth, of high moral standing and work ethic that may have encountered a unfortunate circumstance, i.e. job loss, car accident, excessive medical bills, that may have put a blemish on their credit report. They should not be discriminated against.

However, I do see where a credit report would be necessary for a position of relevance. I just don't see the justification for an at-home IC who is using their own equipment, paying their own taxes, etc. to have to submit this information.

I'll use my own situation as an example. A few years back my husband accrued an excessive amount of medical bills and I was unemployed because my job was outsourced. We were late on a few bills and are trying to rebuild our score so that we can get a good interest rate on a home. Every time that score is pulled, it drops a few points. We have worked very hard to rebuild this score just to have it drop because a company wants to know personal/private information. We as MTs are supposed to respect the privacy of patients and have HIPAA drilled into us daily. I feel my personal information should be respected as well. A criminal background check isn't personal information, but necessary for the safety of all involved.
Milner transcription...sm

Anyone have any info on Milner Transcription.  I believe they're located in Georgia.


TIA!

Milner Transcription company

Has anyone had any experience with Milner Transcription Company ?


Any information on Milner Transcription
Out of Georgia. Not much in the archives. The name sounds really familiar though. Thanks!
Anyone with any experience with United Transcription? If you check out their website, SM
they're just the greatest MT company that there ever was.  Anybody with any real experience with them?
Check out the JAX Transcription place response on job seeker's board. sm

Maybe they ARE for real!!


also don't know your background but
have you archived for ebay selling? I know a couple of other MTers who pick up an extra couple hundred doing Ebay...maybe that is something up your alley/you can research? Just a thought. Good luck!
background
SCAM would not give them a dime. IF they want to do a background check on you it should be at the companies expense never should u have to pay.
Milner
Milner is not affiliated with Medquist that I am aware of. I believe the site you are referring to was one that referenced Escription (VR) they both have experience with it. Milner is a small and growing company. I have been there four years and love my job. Those that can work independently, reliably, and do quality work will do well there.
Milner
I don't know anything about that company, but I was in a similar situation where work was constantly interrupted by demeaning emails and there was nothing I could do to please my boss. I had never had a work experience like that in my life. Don't they realize how counterproductive that is? They're really is a human being on the receiving end of those emails, and they don't have to be so hateful.

Milner
Anyone currently work for Milner.  I was just offered a position and wondered if their platform was easy to learn, affordable benefits, etc.  Any info helpful.  Thanks!
Milner
Very easy platform to learn. Insurance is about the same as everywhere else. I like it there. Only way to find out is to give it a try.

How is their QA department? Do they hound you?

Milner??
If you want to put up with being instant messaged and micromanaged all the time by QA, then Milner is the place for you! No thanks.
Milner
Any current information about this company? I see some older posts, but nothing lately.
Milner

That be Milner, UGH.

Milner
I can't say that I worked for them recently but I did back in 2004 for a short time   and although I don't remember the system, I do remember I left because I couldn't make any money.  Most of their work was VR but maybe things have gotten better.

Milner
I am really sorry you had such a bad experience with Milner. I have worked for Milner for the last 2-1/2 years and I love working for them. They are flexible with my schedule, work with me when I need time off, and get right back to me when I have questions or need help. I think work supply is slow at a lot of places. I know 3 other MTs whose work has slowed to crawl and they work for other companies. Again, I am sorry for your experience with them, but I am sure not everyone who has worked for them or does work for them feels that they are a place to stay away from. I hope your new job works out and you are happy there.
You say you have the medical background, do you mean you took a course or you are just
a medical office worker? No one will give you half a chance unless you actually take a transcription course.
DR background checks. sm
I stated the part about DR giving out names to marketing companies is a LIE.  Yes if you are going to be a hospital employee, HELLO, you have to do what the hospital requires, not a DR requirement.  Although I am physically 2,000 miles away from my account, I had to take physical just as if I were walking into the door of the hospital to work, as that is what the hospital requires of all employees.  You are treated just like a hospital employee.  Yes the physical exam and TB test were a  pain in the butt, but it was so worth it.  Guess it depends on what you are looking for.  As far as credit check, background checks, I told my team leader I was concerned as I am not exactly Mother Theresa.  She told me not to worry.  Everything went fine and I a will never be an IC again, I will retire with DR.
Necessary to do background checks on
So they can do payroll and insurance? They don't realize that a lot of people will quit for this very reason and a lot of good potential employees will never be hired. Invasion of privacy is unnecessary especially those of us who have been with TT for a long time. I'm so disappointed with this whole thing. I made a mistake when I was young and stupid but it has not gone away and I would rather quit than have the company find out about it and fire me.
Background checks
I'm afraid I can't answer your question but I think I understand.  I have nothing to fear in a background check myself but that aside, I wouldn't want to submit to it unless there was a reason for it and I'm sorry....an MT job has nothing to do with a criminal background.  It is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS and IMHO is just another way of demoralizing the employee, something that seems to be in vogue these days with most employers.  I can tell you though what I would do.  I would ask them up front if this was their policy, AFTER I had been offered a job I thought I wanted to accept.  If they said they did it, and I'm not sure I'd want to work for a company that did, I would give them a brief explanation of what they would find.  I rented a house once to a person who said they had lost their house and they couldn't find anyone who would rent to them.  I gave them a chance, best renters I've ever had. 
Background checks
Anybody ever have to sign an Authorization for Background Check and Consumer Report form for employment? It states they can ask anybody anything about me at any time before or during employment. Gives them totally free rein to go through any of my private records. I don't have anything to hide, but makes me feel creepy giving them that permission. Wondered if this is normal and accepted nowadays.  
Execuscribe also wants to do a background
check and I turned them down a year ago for that reason alone. I don't have anything to hide either, but it is creepy to think about someone doing that.
background checks
Lots of companies do background checks, but they pay for that themselves - that is a cost of doing business. I would be very suspicious of someone who wanted $ up front for the background check and then wanted lots of personal, sensitive info.
Anyone every heard of Milner
Transcripion?  They have an ad for a radiology MT on mtjobs.com
To Barbara S regarding Milner
I have said what I wanted to say about this particular company. I know all the MTs outsourced from our hospital job who went to work there are no longer there. Most left because of no pay raises (even though always told we were getting incentive program in, more pay, etc) and the QA was unbelievable. I am thinking probably 8-10 transcriptionists in all went there after outsourced.  One girl was constantly belittled about her work, watched like a hawk, made her so nervous and yet she had been employed for years before at the hospital doing exactly the same work. She finally left as did the others. We got IMs from QA 1 right after the other and unless you want to work where you are under a microscope (unless they have changed since the middle of last year), then go for it. Oh, yeh, forgot to say the rules changed back and forth, 1 time do this way, the next time do this way. By the way, have a new job where it is pure heaven! Know someone might want to say just down on QA, but this job now gives constructive criticism and not constantly an interruption so you can work in peace.
