Any new info on Cobb Transcription? sm

They are hiring IC's for VR editing and also for transcription.  I am thinking of giving my hands a rest and doing editing.


Info is appreciated!

What are the work types?


Good platform?


Pay rate?


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?

COBB
I took the test too and thought it was ridiculous. They told me to come back in 6 months, which I never did.
cobb
thanks.  I very much appreciate it.   for now I'm looking for parttime to supplement my full time.  Maybe I should look into it and see if anything has changed!
cobb transcription
They are a good company, good dictators, and Carole, the owner is wonderful.
Cobb experience
I concur - very good (non-national) company to work for as an IC.  Pay was decent, always on time, and owner friendly and professional to work with.  The only reason I left was for a career change; otherwise, I would have stayed there as long as possible. 
Anyone with information on Cobb? Thank you. NM

cobb transcription
any info on Cobb in kennesaw.  I thought I saw something mentioned once but cannot find anything here on the boards.  Thanks in advance!!
I sympathize with you, but did you bother to contact Cobb and talk to them about it?

I work for MDI-MD and have worked part-time for Cobb in the past. sm

It has been about 3 years or so since I worked for Cobb Transcription in Georgia (very nice woman, by the way), so my info may be old, but I'll try to help.


Good dictation quality?


Yes for both MDI-MD and Cobb



 


Steady work?


MDI:  For the most part, yes.  There have been a few times, but you usually have enough secondary and tertiary accounts to make it through the dry times.


Cobb:  I was doing clinic work -- do not recall any times without work.



 


What are the work types?


MDI-MD has a few radiology and clinic accounts (I think), but probably the majority of the accounts are acute care.


Cobb may have hospital accounts, but all I did with them was clinic work.


Good platform?


MDI uses Bayscribe -- very easy to use.


Cobb used Word.


Pay rate?


MDI pays better than any other company I have encountered.


Cobb's pay rate is kinda low, as I recall, and it was based on being paid by the character.


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?


Yes for MDI ... as I mentioned above, Cobb paid by the character.


Do you have a flexible schedule?


Yes to both.  MDI gives you a 24-hour turnaround time to do your work, and I think the same was true with Cobb.


Weekend work mandatory?


MDI:  You are asked to work 2 weekends a month, I think.  I pretty much work every weekend, so not sure about the official rules.


Cobb:  No.


Employee or IC?


MDI:  Statutory employee (they take out FICA, nothing else, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax)


Cobb:  Was IC only


Benefits?


No for both


Low or high volume ESLs?


Probably vaies with the account -- probably average with MDI.


I don't recall any ESLs at Cobb.


Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?


MDI:  You have a primary account and usually a secondary account -- pretty much the same docs.


Cobb:  Yes.


Dialup accepted?


Yes to both, as far as I know.  I have had cable so long, I do not recall.


 


 


Good luck with your job search.  Hope this helps.   If you have an offer from MDI, I'd take it -- it is a great place to work!

info on this company
Hello my fellow MTs I am at a crossroads with my current position as a radiology transcription position.  My hours are 10 hours shift SSMT.  I have been working this position with Spheris for three years.  I love working for Spheris but they have been stringing me along with finding me an account that is M-F.  I have received a job offer from Ascend with a good increase in pay.  I just need some info on this company if there is any.  Thanks so much and God bless those storm victims.
info on that company
I have information on that company.  Have you accepted a position with them yet?  Please e-mail me for more information. 
company info

Has anyone heard of TTS company in New Hampshire.  If so, how are they at paying and work load??


 


Thanks


I don't have any info on either company,
but just in general, I would think you would be able to make more $$ doing clinic work at 1 cent more per line.  But of course there are a lot of variables like what kind of platform, what your experience is in, etc.   
Any info on this company?

Has anyone any info on WNC (also known as Medical voice Techology Services)?  They have a job posted on the job board.  I couldn't locate any info in the Archives except another asking this same question back in 2004 and she didn't get an answer.


Thanks.

?? Re: Job ads w/o company name/info SM

Just wondering what others thought about the ads that don't really give any company name or details....Do you feel safe sending them your resume/information?  Do you send a sanitized version of your resume, or do you just not bother with the ad? 


I see a couple a couple ads on the job board now that could fit my needs, but I'm reluctant because of the no info thing.

Company info on OSI Transcription

Has anyone ever worked for OSI Transcription?  If so, are they decent?  I just did the online transcription test and am awaiting their answer. I would hate to give up my local jobs for this one and find out they are not a decent company.


Thanks,


Lynn


Company info on OSI Transcription
I've only been with them a few weeks, but so far, its been okay. Have had some minor issues regarding equipment and work, but these were resolved to my satisfaction by my manager. First pay was on time without any problems. If things continue as they are, I will probably be with them for a long while.

Thanks for all the info! I decided to go with another company
although this looked tempting, the pay did not look enough to me (cpl) for a difficult ESL. I could do difficult ESLs and do not mind that but need a higher line rate for that skill. Tempting though it indeed was! Thanks again for your feedback.

Anyone have any info on a company called (sm)
Basic Billing Solutions in Michigan?  Any info about platform, benefits and steady work would be appreciated.  Couldn't find anything in archives. TIA.
There is recent info here on this company.
Here it is again. Several divisions, they don't all operate the same. The one in Colorado uses Scribe and Express Scribe which isn't such a great program. I had problems with it freezing all the time. No demographics are filled in. (You aren't paid for doing it either.) You are expected to look up old reports and fill in blanks before you send to QA. They do not have 24/7 technical support. No overtime. No incentive/tier pay. Quarterly QA, must pass to be eligible for $50 bonus. Paid holidays. Some hire IC/and/or employees. Benefits (expensive but more than 1 deductible to choose from). Both straight typing and VR accounts. Cherry picking was a problem. Set schedules. Not for newbies.
Thanks for info. I think TT is a good company
caught up in a bad situation. From day one I thought that Dictaphone system was crap, and I couldn't believe anyone was productive on it. I was just fortunate to have a good supervisor and found another MT to mentor me through the problems.

I have wished for a long time they would just ADDRESS what is going on, as this silence or the retarded excuses for no work were getting a little ridiculous. Your list explains a lot to me, and you seem to be in the know a little more than the average MT.

Any thoughts for those who stay? Will we be working for Focus or not working at all?
Info on company board...
I believe you supply the laptop, but you have to get it approved through your STM first, then the SolCenter will help you get it set up. Start at your STM
Evolvemed? Any info on this company?
Does anyone currently work for this company or have any information?   Thanks.
Any info on TTS transcription company
I know that this has already been addressed in the past but just wondering if TTS is now a descent place to work?  Current service NEVER has enough work and thus no pay because of it yet constant harps about not getting production.  Any help in this matter very much appreciated.
Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
 
I am also looking for information for this company. Any info appreciated! Thanks. nm
