iMEDX, Inc.
Anyone know anything about this company?  It is based out of Ohio.  TIA
iMedX

Does anyone have any information on or better yet perhaps work for iMEDx?  I have searched here for recent info, but there is none.  I would love to hear from someone that actually works for this company since they have offered me an MT position.  Would appreciate any feedback anyone has.  Thanks! 


iMedX

Could anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for as I was offered a job yesterday and would like to know how they are as far as workload and if paychecks are on time.


 


iMedX
Any info on this company? 
imedx
Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about imedx?  TIA.
IMEDX
Here is what I know.  I have been one of their editors for a few months.  They are very unresponsive to me as an editor.  Even though they have told me repeatedly that they are very happy with my work, they won't respond to me when there is an issue with my not receiving files and/or communication from my supervisor.  I have had problems with my supervisor (who at first seemed nice) contacting me and my receiving her e-mails as much as three days after she sends them.  This, obviously, is a major problem.  I have sent e-mails and made numerous phone calls and sent IMs about this issue, with no one contacting me for over a week at a time, all the while receiving no work -- I mean the work suddenly dried up.  The pay for editing Indian transcriptionists' work (plus giving paragraphs of feedback daily which is not figured into the line count) is .02 per line.  I was sent plentiful work at first and also promised that there were some BIG accounts coming, which did not happen.  They began back-peddling on that promise very soon after I was hired.  And then the problems with communicating with my supervisor just compounded things.  For the second time in a month, I have not heard from them in over a week.  I have received almost no work for an entire pay period.  It is for the best, I know, since I would not have left them in a total lurch the way they have done me, and I know from all of these problems to just move on.  I wouldn't have done it otherwise, but since they have shown me complete disregard, I have sought other employment.  These people care nothing for me, even though I have done a very good job for them for VERY low pay.  They do not mind one bit leaving me wondering what is going on and with no work while I have bills to pay.  What is it with Kentucky-based transcription companies that are affiliated with Indian workers?  Are they all shady, greedy, and rude?  I know you will make your own decision about working for them.  I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will give you more facts on which to base your decision.   I should have known better when I found out that the work I would be editing would be from Indian transcriptionists.  I was just trying to give it a chance and not let any prejudices get in the way of my working for a living.  I also felt I really needed the job.  I learned a lesson, though!  I won't work for another company that outsources to India. 
iMedx
Medware was just acquired by this company and I am having a hard time finding any info other than they outsource A LOT to India, after all the CEO is from India. Of course we were told that they just bought the name and things will remain the same but in past experience with other fields this usually is not the case.

Does anyone currently work for iMedx? Or are there any that worked for the companies that were acquired by them? Just looking for any info that anyone can provide. I'm trying to decide whether to hang on and see what happens or start looking for a new company.

BTW I absolutely loved working for Medware..great family owned company, always work, paid on time, great employee resources, benefits and pay (even with VR) so I'm so upset that this has happened.
Sorry, should have posted ImedX-sm
This is in relation to the message regarding Turboscribe.  Anybody have any information on the company ImedX?  I know they are Indian based, really wanting information from someone who may be or have been employed as a Transcriptionist or Editor for the company.  THANKS!!
Any experience with Imedx
Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble getting paychecks on time and/or accurate. Thanks.
IMedx allows satellite.

iMedX & TIdewater...
I used to work for Tidewater Medical Transcription that was bought out by iMedX, but have no idea what happened to the person who was a higher-up either.  I, too, would really like to know as well as she was very inconsistent with most all she said, had very poor communication skills, and never wanted to take the fall for anything when she was clearly at fault.  I just found out about her departure from the company yesterday, 02/19/2008, upon calling about possible employment.  I was told she was let go, but of course wasn't given any specifics and certainly didn't ask for any.  It is quite obvious to me iMedX is not any better as far as communication as my inquiry has gone completely unanswered.  Besides, if someone is willing to say a former employee was let go, I wouldn't want to work for them anyway.  How professional is that of a current employee to say that about a former employee, especially when they don't even know who they are talking with?  Seems to me they're all nothing but a bunch of back stabbers and need to learn communication skills as well as a little business ethics to boot.
IMedx (formerly Tidewater)
Does anyone know anything about this company and/or if they are hiring? 
You will be QA for India MTs. Don't go with Imedx! nm

iMedX info ?? TIA

i could have sworn i saw a post about iMedX on here.
I just want to know who they used to be.  Did I see it elsewhere???
Medware bought by iMedX

Has anyone else worked for iMedX after they bought their employer's company? Software is called TurboFlow. Any good? Overall how do you like working for them, good and bad.


Person who is no longer with Tidewater/Imedx
What happened to this person who was a higher-up with Tidewater before it was purchased by Imedx? She is all of a sudden gone. Anyone know the story?
Anyone have any current information about iMEDx? Not much in archeives
Thanks so much!
SoftScript, Imedx, Superior Global Solutions
Okay I was offered a job with SoftScript, Superior Global Solutions & Imedx. With SoftScript & Superior Global Solutions I was offered an MT position with 8 cents per line & with Imedx it is a QA position and I am unsure of the pay. I have my interview tomorrow, but I did past the testing process. What job would you recommend? I am 8 months pregnant and I think the QA position would be best, but again I need some info on the companies. TY so much!
ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time.  I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment).  I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time.  I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.

No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40.  I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed.  However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws.  I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary.  Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad. 
Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.

You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.

This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.

The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.

I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
They one I am not sure of. I have always worked FT for them. I have worked both IC and employee
and I always did way over 12,000 a pay peroid. I am sure they are pretty comparative to other companies. You definitely could contact a recruiter by applying if they would answer all of your questions up front. Good luck.
Worked for both
They both have their pros and cons. MedQuist is poor at communicating with their staff. Keep you in the dark, but they leave you alone and let you work. Spheris, on the other hand micromanages every minute of your time. If you stop to go to the bathroom without signing out, your phone will be ringing within 5 minutes with your supervisor wanting to know where you are. They are much better at communicating and support, though. You just have to pick your poison.

I worked for both MQ and S.
MQ SUCKS!!!!  Spheris has better training, no rental fees on equipment, management and trainers who actually know what they're doing, a decent platform, and better pay.  Those jerks at MQ threatened via $30 Fed Ex envelope to sue me for the equipment I had already mailed back to them, and I had proof of it with UPS tracking confirmation.  And no, I never got fired from there.  Besides all that, S isn't involved in any lawsuits and hasn't been delisted from NASDAQ like MQ has.
When I worked at MQ
Their "clinic work" was from Emory University and very, very difficult. It was in their clinics that they did drug studies, cancer research, surgeries, AIDS research with lots of ESL residents and doctors. It isn't like a nor doctor's office "clinic." They don't tell you that when you take the job.
worked for both
cherry picking (MDI) and they have to know what you are doing all day (TSI) "WHERE ARE YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU TYPING?"
OK, I worked for a different TSI.
I don't know about that one.  I work for a very small MTSO with fewer than 20 MTs.  It's my fit, but I'm not going to name names on the boards.
Worked for both.....
I worked for Spheris a while ago, they were very unprofessional in my opinion, disorganized and really didn't pay well, communication was almost nonexistant. My manager never even introduced herself and just really had a bad attitude in her email, which was her only contact.

I started with OSi about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Their platform is very easy to use and highly productive. I have never run out of work, pay is always on time and they are very flexible. I am completely happy with them.
worked for them?

This Worked For Me
You sound like you are in the shape I was in about 5 years ago with my hands. My doctor recommended high doses of Magnesium with smaller doses of Vitamin B6 with it. I took 2600 mg (all at one time) of Magnesium every day with 200 mg of B6. Within 3 days my pain was COMPLETELY gone and I've never had to wear braces again! Of course, I no longer take those incredibly high doses of magnesium daily, but I do stick to about 1000 mg a day with a 100-mg capsule of B6, and I've remained pain-free all this time. Good luck to you!! And by the way, my friend works e-bay as her full-time income and seems to be pretty content with it. :)
Have you worked for them before?
Just wondering if you have worked for them before and know how bad the accounts are.  I dont want to get into a bad situation.
who had it when you worked on it?
?
Has anyone ever worked as an MT
Just applied with temp agency who is hiring for MT work.  Don't know what to expect.  I will be giving up the at-home job to do this job.  I think.  Just wondering would it be less money and demanding line counts, etc.  I think it's close to home. 
Has anyone here worked for JLG?
nm
Never worked there. Don't know.
:)
I worked there I IM'd and
I never heard back from them and if I did it was hours after my message got sent.  Duno what went on there.
I have worked both FT and IC
at home and currently working SE, but am changing to FT.  We need the insurance.  Since I want the option of working more extra if I need it, I have obtained a PT job and might change that to IC.  I like the option of working more than 40 hours to achieve my financial goals. 
I worked for them
Nice company to work for, always pleasant, and the pay was on time.  I don't know if there is a website.
I worked for them and every
Had to call and beg for someone to send me something. It got really old.  They have a person who patrols here and is well versed in trying to sound like an MT, but you can pick it out a mile away what she has written.  And it's not DH.  She is a good person.  The other one I'm talking about, well, her head turns all the way around when she speaks.
No I do not but everyone I have worked for does it.
It is not limited to one co. They just don't care. There is only one company I know that will not take anyone off until they know their work is at almost 100%
Have worked there for a few
 
I worked for a ST like that
nm
worked for them for a little while
800 lines minimum per day, 1000 on Saturdays minimum.  You can set your own schedule but must stick to it.
who knows, and I worked ........
for them for 2 years.
I worked there

Never got a response back ...all I ever needed was another account because I never, ever had work on my primary.  Try sending your 2 weeks notice, lol.  You will get a phone call in record time after hitting the send button.  I no sooner hit the send button and bam my phone was ringing. 



Its a great company to work for, but the communication just really sucks.  I never would have minded and would probably still be there if I never had the running out of work issue and being told I need to make my lines when there was only 20 minutes of work in my 5 hour a day schedule. 


My advice to you is to KEEP calling, keep e-mailing... or like I said, once you are really fed up, time how long it takes to hear back when you put in your notice and wait for them to ask you whats wrong and let them know it.


 


same as one that i worked for; 3.5 also
