Then provide samples and learning tools.
We are all only human. The doctor is supposed to be reviewing and signing these reports they dictate. Are they not? If they sign off a report that has an error, that then makes the dictating physician liable, not the MT. This docking for errors sounds like another scheme to make money off of hard-working MTs. tsk tsk
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
The company hiring you should provide the Dictaphone pedal or the adapter to play the ExText

You should ask for samples from (sm)
each person who will be dictating before you decide on a rate. Certain dictators may only need a slight bit of editing where others will need you to transcribe the entire report numerous times before the system gets it right!
samples
I don't have much in the way of samples. You can ask for samples from specific doctors if you have a hard time with them and they can pull some for you.
Why not ask for more samples?
.
Did they give you samples? That would help. SM
I work on a mostly ESL account and prefer them to doctors who talk a mile a minute.
The longer you hear doctors with accents, the more attuned your ears become and, as if by majic, they tend to lose their accent. Give yourself some time and I would strongly suggest your company be more supportive.
You don't need to ask for samples with Extext
Best software program ever.
How easy is it to get samples, etc?
nm
You mean samples of the reports
when you're first starting?
Yes, repor t samples. Thanks :)

So much to take to DC - thank you for all of your emails and samples
The USMLSU folks want to thank you all for emailing your suggestions, ideas, experiences, as well as samples of the horrific reports that are returned from India to US QA editors to correct - the before product; this is exactly what we needed to take with us to DC. So many of you have responded and are already helping out, that we've proven that a group of skilled professionals do not have to go on strike to make a difference in their financial future.
The fair pay vote results will be listed shortly.
How about providing some samples of format? sm
OK, so transitioning can be tough, but for an MT with that kind of experience, I would assume that with a few samples of format to follow she could be up and running in no time. I would not mess with them. Something is weird.
More than 1/2 the time you don't get actual facility samples, tho, just

She could remove all MQ-related stuff, samples, etc.

They will use the hospital MTs for samples, then ship account

Agree to point, but people need samples and also ability

our hospital provided the outsource service samples of ESL's dictation so that the
reports wouldn't keep coming back with missing dictation and blanks and horrendous attempts at guessing. I would also keep asking your company over and over and over again to please provide you with a sample, if not from the hospital, then maybe from one of their transcriptionists on the same account.
Most of their work does not get proofed. some of it is absolutly awful - I've seen samples - ACK

MDI-MD (not FL) could provide what you need. :nm
Yes they do provide PCs
You must meet production goals which you have to do anyway. The pay is good with a lot of different types of incentives. My accounts are good with moderate to low ESLs and I'm not running out of work. I didn't need the computer but an MT I referred does use a TranTech PC. Overall great company, smart move on my part.
They provide everything.
They send you everything to include the tower, monitor and foot pedal. You have access to technical support 24/7, as well as management and editors.
By law she has to provide you with a
xx
They provide everything
you need except your type expander. You can request the dictionaries, and if they have any licenses, then the IT man will download it for you. Otherwise you may have to provide your own. I never had trouble with payment. Good luck!
don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment. So, why were you providing your own? 
Yes...Thanks for any info you might provide. nm

Regarding benefits, they provide
health insurance, life insurance, and PTO. I am returning to KS after having left there a few months ago to go back to MQ. Big mistake, as we all know. When I was at KS from April to August, the benefits were okay, but I am told that as of Jan 1 they are going to be really good. They are changing insurance carriers to a much better company and are in the process of supposedly putting together a benefit package, which includes the former benefits of life insurance, health, PTO, etc as well as an incentive package. I start back with them on Oct 31 and I can't wait! I should have never left in the first place, but I guess we all make mistakes in this profession.
I think all companies should provide a PC...
With any other job in an office they don't say You'll have to buy your own computer! :)
They will provide the C-phone - sm
foot pedal and headset. You pay $15 each pay to lease the c-phone.
They do provide a computer...
don't know about their insurance, tho.
They provide a lot of heartache too

Does MDI-MD provide a computer? NM

What companies provide PCs?
I am not sure if they provide a computer...
but they do provide the software that you will need. They are an AWESOME company to work for, at least that has been my experience (I am currently employed with them on the dictaphone platform), and they do offer medical/dental/vision, sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, and maternity leave. It is based on your line count x the minimum lines they require per week then divided by 40 hours, to come up with your hourly pay...for example, if your line count is 0.6/per line (just a figure I am throwing out to give you an idea), then multiply that by 5000 lines (which is the minimum lines required per week) equals $300/wk divided by 40 hours equals $7.50 per hour. That is what your holiday (+ lines for the day if you work....so double time of sorts), vacation, sick leave, maternity leave, etc. would be based on...hope this makes sense. (Sorry if any typos, it is late, and I am tired but wanted to reply....I hope I have at least helped!)
Yes, they provide computer.... sm
When I got pregnant, this was with a different company and a different insurance plan (not transcription related) 8 years ago, but I did get maternity leave that was paid. I don't think our insurance at Webmedx has maternity leave, but it does have short-term and if you are out of work 14 days that kicks in, so that may apply for maternity leave as you take FMLA, I think. I am not totally sure, though, on our insurance or how short term disability works, but that is what I was told before when I inquired. If out of work 14 days, short-term kicks in at a percentage of your regular pay. You can get more details when you call. :) Good luck to you. Just know that when you search you will find what you want. Hang in there.
They provide computer, but there is no sm
rental fee for it. I think there may be a deposit tho. Not sure about that.
Yes they provide computer - sm
and you have to use theirs. It's a great deal though, you get a brand new Dell computer with flat screen monitor, foot pedal, etc. It's strictly for work, nothing else can be loaded on it and no one else can use it. Helps to make sure you are maintaining a HIPAA environment and they provide full 24/7 tech support - it breaks - they FedEx or UPS a new one ASAP. No rental charge either - I think there may be a deposit now though. It comes already loaded with all the software and VPN client stuff.
They provide shorthand and sm
you have to have high-speed internet connection. Even with that, the last few days the platform has been iffy. They like to blame it on the internet, but they platform is the problem. Cuts out constantly. Lots of downtime.
don't provide unless hired.
If you are definitely taking employement I would provide it but you don't have to, to be considered.
MDI-MD does not provide computer.

Does TT provide the computer? NM
xxxxx
Do they provide equipment?
Also, do they have IC positions?
Is it possible to type clinic work only?
They do provide computers, but there is a
charge per pay period, I think about $9 or so. You cannot use the new Window Vista. Everything else they will download if you use your own computer. I took a pay cut to go there but am very happy, and they do have bonus incentives. The accounts are pretty decent. Staff is extremely friendly and cooperative.
They will provide pedal if necessary
.
They used to provide the puter, don't know about now. nm
s
provide me E-mail id
can anyone else provide me E-mail address of PACE TRANSCRIPTION & MGT. SERVICES, INC., EAST LONGMEADOW, Massachusetts
their website says they provide PC
I happened to be looking on there today and I believe I read that.
MQ does provide equipment

They don't provide work, though.
Stay away from this company! They offshore most work to India and the rest goes to ASR. You can imagine what is left for the MT to try to make a meager living off of. Go to Webmedx - not only do they provide equipment, but they hire only American MTs and they VALUE their MTs. If you are looking for job satisfaction, go to WMX.
These used to provide equipment
Medquist (NJ), OSi (GA), Transcend (GA), Amphion (WI), Transtech (TX).
