move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.

    I was told that all accounts will be on the new sm
    platform before the end of the year. I'm not on it now and from what I understand the new platform is a mix of regular transcription and SR. I've heard a lot of bad things and just a few good things. Unfortunately a lot of companies are going this way to save money.
    It is my understanding that when an office closes the accounts that do not want to go on DQS are not
    still serviced by MQ so that may also be what is going on. All accounts I believe must go on DQS or find another service.
    I was told they have 35% ESLs on most accounts but like everything else, you won't know until you

    I was told there are no more accounts I can work on
    and am getting sporadic work. I LOVE this company too, and they pay for down time which is incredible, but the work comes trickling in so I cannot claim no work, but it is just enough to keep me going.
    Can anyone working for the Ohio MQ office tell me who they are and are the accounts decent to do or
    are there a lot of ESLs. Thanks for any info you have.
    I would send in your resume or call the office. Some accounts do not
    use phone lines at all and are internet only. My account is an 800# but I am not sure if there are any openings on my account.
    Great office staff, okay pay, horrible ESL's on all accounts. NM

    Lots of new accounts. I called the office to ask a question and sm
    found out that there are more than a dozen new accounts starting in the next couple of weeks. I am happy at KS but anything is better than MQ. I left there a year ago and am very glad that I did.
    Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
    did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
    I hope you are right because my office adamantly denied until it happened that our accounts were
    moving and they are closing.
    Great office staff, okay pay, no benefits, horrible ESL all accounts...NM

    Warminster office is about ready to close its doors. Our accounts unfortunately went to Amherst. I
    understand they are going to have a national system not regional where when there is a hospital that needs help people out of work get work in it. I would rather have a main account or a few I know so I am not sure about this new deal. Maybe they are going in with Spheris.
    Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
    heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
    MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

    So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


    Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
    Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
    Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
    difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
    Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
    and their QA. 
    Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
    high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

    I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
    Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
    at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
    Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm

    NO ONE AT THE BALTIMORE OFFICE WAS TOLD!
    ?
    I was told by the office to use my own printer and ink to print out
    I guess I would have to foward it to my personal email and then print from there.  That printer ink is EXPENSIVE!  More than postage.  Why didn't they just mail everything to us???   Whose money are they using?   The MT's who keep them in business??
    I asked the office about the rates and that is what I was told. My x-DH has that insurnance sm
    and it is not expensive and he says that it is better than the BCBS that they used to have at his job.
    I just called the office and was told there has been no change made in their QA policy.

    MQ accounts
    You are assuming that MQ has not lost any accounts. Yes the accounts were transferred with the transcriptionists, buy one of my accounts left and went to another service and yes, once an account goes up on the new platform, it is free game for everyone.
    I believe they have two ER accounts - one is .09 and one is .10 -

    the owner is wonderful to work for, also.


    PS:  Hi Connie!


     


     


    How many accounts do you have?
    When you get 6 accounts, can work on any of them at any given time, sometimes all in 1 day, and still get less than 2% DC percentage, come back and tell me you're better than me.  You're still wet behind the ears and probably don't even realize what a big can of worms you just opened.
    Are the Rad accounts going VR?
    x
    VR accounts
    Does anyone find that you can get more lines or make more money on VR accounts?
    RE: VR accounts
    Yes.
    How did you get three accounts?
    ????????????????????????? No wonder you have plenty of work - you have three accounts. Duh!!
    Their accounts are about 90% ESL sm
    And I am talking heavy ESL.  Also, even though most of their MTs are ICs, they make you give them a schedule and they bug you if you don't work it.  Pay is okay.  Work is very sporadic. I have two friends who left there because the work kept running out.  QA can be very rude, as well. 
    You might be better off just getting your own accounts rather than
    trying to look for a service that has them. If you feel you must go through a service, then more than likely a small or very small MTSO would be the most likely to have these types of accounts.
    Your own accounts (SM)
    I read over the other posts today and agree that many of them were brutal, unpleasant, condescending, and unkind. Do not let these types of responses deter you from your goals, plans and visions.
    I had my own accounts before I even took
    a medical transcription course. I got into MT by accident. I started a home-based secretarial business doing typing and bookkeeping for people. One day, I got a call from this guy wanting to know if I could do his transcription. Sure, why not?! I had repaired transcription machines in a former career field, so what could be so tough about transcribing? I did fine. I've had his account for 8 years now. I also picked up a physical therapy account with four dictators before I finished my MT education, but that account was el cheapo on pay so I dumped them as my skills grew more in demand.

    In my opinion, it's easier to have your own accounts because you're doing the same people and the same reports day after day. You can use your Expander to the max. They'll notify you of any corrections or style issues they'd like you to implement. You make more money per line while saving them money versus in-house staff or a national. Make up some business cards and an intro letter on your computer and start sending them out. Forget about all the negative people who are telling you that you can't do it. They're not the boss of you. You are in control of your own destiny. YOU can do it!
    You are a pet, get best accounts.

    There is no QA on your own accounts. YOU are QA.
    QA shouldn't have to catch your versus you're anyway. QA shouldn't have to correct basic skills.
    Where was that hop to? Your own accounts?
    ?
    Accounts
    Wrong.
    Accounts
    Sure!
    Ask for more accounts, 10-12 may do

    MDI still does on some accounts....

    What about their accounts...
    Have they lost their accounts, too? If not, who is typing them?
    I am on 4 different accounts
    and I am always out of work!When I call, I get the run around. The center is in India.
    They have just taken on several new accounts. nm

    Is this your own accounts?

    Not all VR accounts are

    Even though accounts are going to VR, there is still considerable typing to be done on the VR accounts.  All my accounts have been switched over the VR but not all doctors.  I type more than half of my reports daily, sometimes is a 50/50 split.  I still get paid a line rate for jobs typed.


    for some accounts anyway
    /
    Ask for what accounts, they hardly have any
    and the ones they have are taken up.
    I think they do have some accounts on that but
    I don't work w/ any of it. They have plenty that aren't.
    DR because of too many accounts SM
    to make a decent line count, horrible ESL dictators, incorrect pay, weird tech support staff and the rudest office personnel I have ever encountered.
