    I work for First Choice and have lots of ops.
    I am not sure if they are hiring, but you can always check.
    webmedx is my choice, sm
    Great benefits, affordable too, they are hiring, great bosses (mine anyway), plenty of work, compliments all the time, realize that the MT is the money maker and pay so accordingly. Hope this helps! I have been with Webmedx for 5 years now, they supply the computer as well.
    Webmedx is my choice too, they are by far the best....
    I've been working in this industry for years too. I am truly happy at Webmedx and stress free!!! Not like at MQ at all.
    Working for WebMedX is a good choice
    From the companies available to work for, I would say this is one of the better.  They have really decent benefits, the pay is good, they don't hassle you.  Feedback/QA is great.  I have to say they are one of my favorites that I have worked for and they are very fair to the employees.  (Another good company is Phoenix).
    Webmedx isn't slow - lots of OT posted and they are pushing sm
    to hire a lot of MTs due to new accounts coming on in the next few months.
    It's in Seattle!
    CMC may stand for Carolinas Medical Center, which is located in Charlotte, but CMC Medical Transcription Service, Inc. is located in Seattle.  This is the company the OP was asking about.  cmcmedicaltranscript.com
    yoursafeandhappyhome Seattle?
    MT Jobs email has job opening for a company called, yousafeandhappyhome.  Does anyone know anything about this company?  This is such a wierd name and I have never seen it before.  Thanks in advance for any info you may have.
    I live in Seattle, but...this post still
    still doesn't belong here. Whether put here in error or not, it should be posted elsewhere out of consideration of others. Being a participant on this particular board, I can't CHOOSE to avoid them if a group of people decide to get all hyper and vocal about a sport event that means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Please take it to the main board, and at least I can choose to avoid that for a few days! Better yet, take it to the offshoring concerns board and drive the foreign MTs nuts for a while!
    Anybody Worked for Panel of Consultants, Seattle, WA? nm
     X
    Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
    problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
    I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
    believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
    I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
    Very thankful to have a decent job.
    Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.

    What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
    .
    Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
    during the holidays too.   I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week.   I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.  
    First Choice does.

    Get out while it is still your choice. It seems like

    things have gotten worse since I left. Which is hard to believe!


    Not all companies are like Heartland. Best of luck to you.


    OSi is by far, your #1 choice.
    I have been at OSi for 2 years now.  Worked for Medquist for...um....let's see...about a month before I realized what I had gotten myself into.  OSi isn't perfect, but they sure strive to be.  Constant feedback, almost everyone has a positive attitude and loves their job.  My Team Lead is pretty awesome.  She makes my job so much easier.  Let me know how I can help you make the right decision.  I'd love to help you out in any way I can. 
    they said we would have a choice about
    ASR beginning 10/01, told my boss I would not do ASR, guess what I am getting today................. ASR STAT reports!!!!!! Not a supervisor in the company working today that I can find
    First Choice

    Asked to test for this company. Is this a good company to work for, plenty of work, pay on time, etc.? Any info would be greatly appreciated!


    First Choice sm

    I don' t work for First Choice, but I applied and passed the test. I was contacted by the recruiter to set up an interview. The very next day she told me all the accounts were caught up, and she couldn't hire me at this time. I thought that was a little odd.


    Yes! First Choice, QT, and I believe JLG, also. nm

    First Choice
    Thanks so much!
    First Choice
    Any info on First Health. I am training tomorrow, wondering about the program they use and their accounts?  Also the staff.
    First Choice
    Could you please tell me more about First Choice?  I have not heard of this company until now.  TIA
    First Choice
    This is by far the best company to work for. Great platform, great pay, great owner and staff. I wouldn't work for any other company!!!
    would be your choice obviously
    personally, I don't rely too much on what these boards say, everybody has their own opinion - - I don't believe they have a high turnover, the MT list seems to be growing it you ask me, I still see the same names I always saw and communicate regularly with the MTs, not sure whree this person is getting their info - - but ultimately it's your choice. I've been around to all the major MTSOs and for the past 3 years, Diskriter has done what none of the others could, supplied me with daily work during MY scheduled hours or paid me downtime
    Your choice. sm
    It depends on your situation.  If you are single with no other bennies I would say DR.  If your are single and in need of benefits, tell the recruiter you want to be on a smart-source account, wherein you are actually an employee of the hospital with DR as a liason.  I made an OK living but have affordable health insurance, dental, vision, long-term disability, short-term disability and life insurance.  What I like best is our T-leader does not tolerate cherry picking.  If you are married, I say be an IC, if not you are better off on a DR SMART-SOURCE account.
    TRS is a bad choice

    I worked at that place for several years, they go through more changes than anywhere I ever worked.  You rarely get to stay on one account and they do not give you anything except for do more, do more.  The only way to get anywhere with that company is to kiss butt and give until it hurts. 


    I have to say, if you go to TRS you will be feeling like you are in haties before long.  Consider yourself warned they are NOT the employer of the year like their president and vice president would like to believe they are, they will cheat you out of your life if you let them. 


    Working at McDonald's selling hamburbers is a fantastic step up from TRS. 


    It's your choice -- use your own PC or theirs. nm

    I believe it's your choice ... (sm)
    I have always just preferred using the Word auto-correct as my expander, so that's what I use. There's not one built into the platform, and I think you can just use whatever Expander you want. Seems like I remember talk of some of the MTs building some stuff up in ShortCut, so I know that one is compatible.
    I don't have a choice...sm
    My husband is active duty Air Force, and they are making him change careers. We have a three-year-old daughter, so we have to work separate shifts. When he goes off to school for the new job, I will not have anybody to watch our daughter.

    Trust me, I am terified of coming back home to work. I have a job that is a set paycheck, and I have been having problems with my wrists lately. I worry about not being able to make enough money.
    First Choice
    I was wondering the same thing because that was really fast.  I sent resume but heard nothing.
    At least TT gives you a choice to do
    With Extext (regular MT) you can look up old reports on the patients which a lot of software does not give you that capability. That saves a lot of time.
    If I had a choice right now, no I would not...sm
    You have to understand, I only have 2 years exp. The most I can expect to get is 8 cpl, which I do get, but it is only maybe one day a week. I went from working everyday or almost everyday at 8cpl to one day at 8cpl. I am broke. I lost my account. I need money. Secondly I know nothing about neonatal dictation, have never done it. I would need some training in that area. I can't expect them to pay me top dollar for no exp in the specialty. If I had been doing neonatal a while, then no I would not accept 7cpl. Not saying I have the job cause I don't, but I wouldn't apply if I had exp in neonatal care for that amount of money. They aren't requiring neonatal exp so I applied. They are getting what they pay for. An MT unexperienced in that area. If they want to train for cheaper pay so be it. That will be one more area I know in MT. I'll do it, but if someone offered me a position in something I am experienced in then no I probably wouldn't. If they want exp MTs in neonatal care then they aren't gonna get them for 7cpl. Again, they are getting what they pay for.
    Exactly! Everything is about choice...
    I knew when I chose to become an MT that there was a large possibility that I would be working weekends. I chose to become an MT. And, yes, my child comes first as well, but that doesn't have anything to do with working weekends. And for your information, my holy day is Friday, so it makes no difference to me whether I work on Sunday; and worshiping God is something we should do every single day of the week, not just 1 day on the weekend.
    That is entirely your choice...
    But please be prepared for nothing but VR, a massive pay cut because you're doing VR and not straight transcription, a rigid schedule, AND the fact that by working for Transcend you are, in your own small but significant way, contributing to the selling out of the American MT.

    Please, think again.

    Then if you can sleep at night knowing all of the above, more power to you.

    Anyone else working for First Choice
        Anyone else notice anything unusual this week?   I can't nail it down, but something feels out of whack.   I was just wondering if anyone else had an odd week as well.
