PMT Kentucky
I worked for PMT Kentucky for a short time. You have to have a C-phone. They supplied me with one, and they were an extremely great bunch to work for. Pay was on time, people were really nice, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I say apply if you have a C-phone. It is a good company to work for!!!
Anyone with exp w/ PMT in Kentucky? Am considering applying there. Thanks! nm

The announcement on the job seekers board seems like a pretty good deal for IC, has anyone had any experience with them?  I tried an archive search but didn't come up with anything.  Thanks in advance for any info you have. 
SecureMTSource out of Kentucky
anyone work for them.  They apparently are now MD-IT.  MD-IT is taking over in-house transcription at my place of employment.  I have been offered an at-home position with MD-IT.  Can anyone tell me from SecureMTSource what they have been like to work for.  TIA
iNSCRIBE - Kentucky
I have been contacted by this company...and was hoping for some insight.  Good/bad/disorganized.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.
If this is InScribe, LLC, out of Kentucky (sm)
In my opinion, it would be better to look at a different company.

It is the InScribe US in Kentucky, do you know anything about them?
tell me more about InScribe US out of Kentucky
You said you would suggest looking at another company, please tell me more. I am already having issues and haven't even confirmed I was taking the job.
Someone was asking about Inscribe Kentucky? sm
I will be honest, I have only just started, but there are some things I can tell you.

I was informed today that they pay for headers and footers AND spaces, which I didn't ask up front because I have not been paid for these things in years, I thought no one did.

They set you up with a mentor to help you learn their ins and outs, so you have a go-to person, which I think is very helpful. I have, at this point, spoken to both the owners on the phone. They were helpful and pleasant.

While I didn't ask about how many accounts or how many MTs, I believe them to be a medium sized company. They are transparent about who their MTs are and there is a contact list for all of us that we all get. That was different too because most of the places I have worked they really discourage MTs talking between themselves.

There is no IM required which means they don't pester you with instant messages all day long.

This is all I know for now, but it is better than the nothing I was finding out about them.
Inscribe (Kentucky)
Any info would be appreciated regarding this company.  Thanks for your help.
InScribe LLC (Kentucky)
If you have experience working for this company, could you please share how they are to work for, i.e., platform, anything at all you can think of would be of help.  Thank you very much.
Advanced is not in Kentucky

I think it's in Arizona, but anyway.  It's not a bad company to work for.  The only thing is you have to be on pager and give them a schedule yet you are an IC.  The pay is not too bad.  The work runs out and they put you on another account.  The platform is horrible and takes a lot of time to do demographics and such.  There is also patient lists that are pages and pages long. 


I can't really say anything negative other than they hire ICs, but you have to tell them when you'll be working.  They may be more flexible now, who knows.

AKA Dictation Services Group.  Any info appreciated
Kentucky MT - I'm not sure I read the post
correctly. Are you saying that you would get upset if the hospital you were working for sent out the BAD work??? If so, I differ with you big time. I work for a hospital and the first thing we do is send out the crappy dictators. The outsource company is paid way more than our transcriptionists are and therefore, should be able to handle the crappy doctors AND do QA. We, of course, send out other work, but first and foremost go the worst of the worst dictators.

I'm not sure if I read your post correctly, so I was just curious

Are they USA based
do they have a lot of ESLs? Is the pay fair? TIA.
Based on -
When you work in a production environment, you are paid for production. You are expected to meet certain quality requirements. So why should you be paid more just because you have a certain number of years in? There are some very BAD MTs with many years experience, and some very good ones with just a few. If you are good, quick, and accurate, you will make more. What's so unfair about that?
Is that based on
gross $$ or net $$? That is an unusual way of determining FT/PT status.
only want internet based too. nm

That's an answer that can only be based on
If you can produce a lot of lines per hour (300-350 or more), then you're not going to make money on VR.  Depending on what your company offers as a rate for VR is what you would have to use to arrive at a base figure.  One company pays 60%.  That means in order to just break even you'd have to produce 40% more than you do in straight typing.  That means at 350 lines per hour straight typing, you'd have to produce 490 lph in VR just to break even.  Then you'd have to take into consideration that when you do VR you're not editing like QA editing.  You have to completely edit the whole report, read the whole thing, and correct all errors.  This sometimes takes as much time as straight typing depending on the dictator.  Some are very easy.  Some you have to correct almost the entire report.  Chances are that you're not going to consistently get very easy reports every day, all day.  If you're working on an overflow account for a client that has in-house transcription or for a client that has multiple transcription services, you can bet your bottom dollar that you're not getting the easy reports at all, let alone consistently.

They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Actually it's based on four things...
The pay plan is based on production, QA scores, how much you send for help, and whether you have a CMT. It is evaluated every month. By the way, the pay plan was actually created through our employee vision team, which gives employees input into how the company is run. I happen to like it as it means I make more money when I am able to produce more and I get that increase for at least a month. Has worked for me and others to give consistent raises for good performance. The platform is pretty easy, there are people who are doing 2500-3000 lines/day on it.
Not based on average..
PTO is based on 1200 lines, not by an average.
U.S. based company
Softscript, Inc. or www.softscript.com is completely U.S. based, no offshoring. A nice company to work for (from home). Located in Santa Monica.
New at home based...

I would like to get some feedback on a few companies.  I have been offered positions from AccuScribe, Cymed.  I am an IC now and have been in a hospital setting for several years, now at home working for a local company that does not pay well. 


This newbie really needs some help! 


Thanks in advance!

Also, how can you recommend DR based on the
original poster's request? SE status and not strict schedule? DR offers none of the above! Sheesh! What a waste of board space! Must be a DR supe or recruiter.
This may be the one.....are they based in Florida.....
reliable pay?? PT work? IC or employee status? What type of equipment is required?

TIA
It can if it is word based
Any word based Expander can be copied over into Medware.
AND based on the wording and the
number of years (3) claimed to have worked for this pitiful company.....there must be only one person taking up for them. How sad.  If you have been following the board for the past few weeks, you are surely aware of the current employees who have went to the feds over the wrong doings of this company.  LOL!!!   
keystrokes, web based? sm
How is the platform, is it user friendly? Does anyone work there and use satellite to connect? Thanks!
based on your paragraph
it came to about the same amount of lines, actually, the 37 char lines were a fraction higher; so it sounds comparable to me.
Since they are based in India probably willing to pay
.
Pay is based on production.
They have a few different levels. Maximum pay rate is for 225 lph minimum. That schedule is in the process of being revised and s/b finished within the next few weeks, most likely upward to our advantage and to include shift differential. For more details on the current pay rates, you may want to speak to a recruiter since I don't want to give incorrect details. I'm at the top pay level, and I make good money there, but there are other programs as well (like Star team). There is also weekend differential. Pay on holidays is time and a half if you work plus straight holiday time, which is why I almost always volunteer to work holidays if my daughter is with her dad.
It isn't based on any particular WP program. Can use
with Word though and probably is in most cases.

Are they the ones based in Wetumpka?
If so, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Heard they do not pay.    I heard that from a few people.  I have no experience with them personally.
