Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high

Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.

Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?

Curious


WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
I just started on eScription and it's pretty good. Higher than the last place I was
at. Starting base at 4 cpl, which is 1 cpl higher than I was making at TTS.
Can you suggest a higher-paying company?
 
Seems 11 cpl is pretty high, good luck finding that one
Keep us updated please.
A high turnover rate means all the good MTs

leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one.  That's what a high turnover rate means.  Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate?  Something's wrong if people keep leaving.


It's called logic and deductive reasoning.  And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.


she pays when she gets good and ready to!
She does not pay when the client pays her even though that is what the contract says.  If you want to get paid on time, I would not recommend this company at all.
That is good $$ but Transtech pays a lot

The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs.  Never made sense to me.  Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training. 
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.
nm
Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)
You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
Spheris pays for training. It used to be pretty good. Don't know what
xx
Their web site says you get paid when the client pays them ... not good. nm


that pays late constantly - lost many good MTs.

I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
I would go 110% with the company that pays more...sm
Some will argue, but a good MT shouldn't have a hard time finding a job. I didn't. They are posted everywhere. Go where the money is! I was in the same situation. Going from platform to platform, account to account, slows you down more than you know. Hop on one train and ride it!
Good for you. I've gained 10 pounds since high school graduation in 1976.

anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly?  Curious.
As an SE the company pays your taxes, but
you have the flexibility with your schedule as an IC.   I have always been an employee so I'm not up on all this, just what I was told at one time, though that was a couple of years ago and rules/regs may have changed.   Don't know how SE would affect you being able to claim business expenses, if at all. 
The company I work for pays
for radiology by the line .. .08-.09 depending on your assignment .. our radiology MTs do very well.  The radiology work is MRI, DEXA, PET, ULS, and special studies.  Experience in doing more than plain films is essential.  The work is Monday through Friday as these are all outpatient centers.
The company I work for only pays
or anything else. They say we will go more than twice as much and make big, big bucks.  Do you believe that?  I don't.  4 CPL!!! And I bet you can figure out which company on your own.
What company pays per report for QA?

That is low pay for VR. The company I work for pays almost
twice that. I hate VR. I don't have to do it where I work.
I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.

My company pays $15 to $18 per hour for QA but

I was offered a QA position and even at the highest hourly amount, I make at least $3 more transcribing.


Depending on how much discipline I have on any particular day, I make anywhere from $20 to $35 an hour but never any less than $20 an hour on production.  Other than my hands killing me periodically, I would much rather transcribe!!


This company pays weekly...nm

My company pays downtime if
there is no work within your scheduled work time.  You don't have to make it up if there is work later either.  They don't guarantee lines though and the amount they pay is less than most MTs would make by transcribing, but it is money coming in.  We went several months where some accounts were running out of work daily, now lots of accounts on OT until further notice. 
My company pays very weakly! LOL

I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
what company pays 17 dollars an hour?
JLG pays 21 dollars an hour, that is a fact.
Anyone know what a company called Synernet pays? nm

I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
High insurance costs are a national problem, not just in MT. My husband's company sm
charges us $210.00 per paycheck for him, me and our 2 children. The deductible is $500, each visit costs us $25, prescriptions are $10 for generic and $25 for everything else. It is getting crazy everywhere.
Get off your high horse for crying out loud. She did not mention that it was a transcription company

Maybe YOU should do some research before you jump all over somebody. WHen a person just mentions a name, it doesn't necessarily mean a transcription company.


What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either.  I can see why you would worry though.  Maybe they will do the switch eventually. 
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 


They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm
