Hils questions answered...

Posted By: Karen on 2008-11-07
In Reply to: Thats great. I was hoping for good things - Thanks

They are a great company!  I get paid on time all the time!  It is usually around 4 days after the last day of the pay period we get paid.  I do all of their physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy  (with the exception of one account).  I am part time and usually work around 20 hrs a week, give or take how busy the offices are.  I usually type anywhere from 5000 to almost 7000 lines a half.  Pay is good.  The QA girls and bosses are awesome! So helpful!  A benefit of their company is that you are never out of QA.  I know that sounds weird, but it's a great thing because that means two sets of eyes are always looking at the notes before they are sent to the doctors.  You still have to do your part and work hard and make sure you try not to leave any blanks, but they are really good if you have a couple still.  I still have a P.T. that I leave a blank here and there for...she's an interesting dictator!  LOL.  I love my account and wouldn't trade it for the world.  I hired in at Hils and about a month later purchased a used minivan!!!  I make enough money to pay for the van payments, my girls catholic school tuition payments and food/gas for the family/cars.  My husband pays the rest.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!  I'd be glad to answer any!

Hi. Did you ever get your questions answered? If not, let me know.
I'd be glad to help if I could..
Questions not answered
I learned that they are not going to answer our questions for now. I have no doubt they know the answers. I would think they would ask these questions before they agreed to sell out. It is just so frustrating that they will give us absolutely no answers to scheduling and pay rate. Surely they asked these things!
In other words, MQ still has not answered any questions

than to say THE ONUS IS ON YOUR BACK!  Get the lines, sit in front of a computer you probably can't type on due to no power, lightening, frozen up, no work.......or expect to lose employee status. 


Of course what is employee status with them but a word.  It gives you nothing.


There is no way that company should ever offer EMPLOYEE status to an at-home transcriptionist.


And in doing that they should also be made to pay CONTRACT FEES, not employee wages as they are trying to get away with.


When MQ bought out my company there was no change from "employee" line pay up to "SE" line pay.  It stayed the same.  How insane is that?!


They screwed us from the start.  And knew it. 


I haven't read all the posts yet and haven't gotten the all important package, although I have quit MQ a while ago, I'm sure it will come, they never know who they have working for them! - but do they even offer Statutory Employees as of January?


 


OK - I work at TT and I answered the questions
I was answering the questions she emailed me about. Maybe I should have put her part first and my part last.
All your questions have been answered in the archives
many times. 
I've answered your questions repeatedly.
You have also answered mine by getting so defensive. If you worked for TT in the past and were so unhappy there, as the previous post seems to indicate, then why would you be, and again I am QUOTING your original post, looking into TT.

I'm through going round and round. Good luck. I hope you find or have found a place that makes you happy!
All your questions have been asked and answered several times
the past couple of months.  Do a search for past posts.

Hils
Would that be in Dothan, Alabama?
Hils
do not know what your looking for but if you like to get paid, and paid on time and accurately this may not be it. Unless things have changed.

Have you ever heard of Medical Voice Technology Service out of North Carolina?
Hils
Very unprofessional to deal with. Do not honor contract. New office manager handles everything; can't talk to manager. Wants you to work schedule even though there is no work during your scheduled time.

Can anyone tell me something about Hils Transcription in Alabama?

HILS Transcription

Anybody have experience with this company?


I got an email from this company last week. Responded that I was interested in discussing further.  No word since.  Pay is low - 7.5.  They're in Dothan, AL. 


Wondering what type of accounts they have?


THanks!


Hils Transcription
They're a little flaky. Pay isn't very good, work is unreliable. No feedback.
Hils Transcription?

Does anybody have any current information on this company and if they are hiring or not?


TIA! 


Hils Transcription
I work for them and love their company. I do not know if they are hiring. If they do not have anything posted, then I assume not. Sorry.
Hils Reply
I work for them.  They are a really good company to work for.  Lots of friendly/helpful QA's and bosses! 
I work for Hils
Hils has an average pay rate.  The work depends on the doctor/clinic you are working for through them and the paychecks are done twice a month.  You usually get paid 2-3 days after then end of the pay period..depending on if it lands on a weekend or not.  Hils is a great company to work for!

If this is the company in Dothan, AL. I worked for Deb Hils for 3 years and loved it. My only reason for leaving was to obtain employee status. Hils is IC basis only. Flexible schedule, wonderful docs, at that time 2002-2005 no ESL docs. Small town, local clinics with relatively repetetive notes making for excellent line count if you use macros/ESP software......FTP platform, MS Word. Very user friendly. She also rewards high production with bonuses at the end of the year.


Highly recommend them, can't go wrong, if you want IC status.


Hils Transcription...anyone have any info?
I am mostly wondering about platform and if the pay is decent.  Any information is appreciated!  TX
Beware of Hils Transcription
Just wanted to give you a heads up on Hils Transcription. If you an organized professional with excellent communication skills, DO NOT apply to this company! 
Hils Transcription. Any new info
I would like to know if there is any new info on Hils Transcription.  I have seen past posts but just wondering if there is anything new to know about them.  Thanks
Hils transcription comment
I'm not quite sure I understand your question?  I have worked for Hils since the End of May and I love the company!  They are a great bunch of people and always helpful and informative when you need it!
MxSecure and Hils Transcription?

I need up-to-date information on how these two companies are to work for (i.e. work load stable, pay rate, pay on time, etc.).


TIA!   


Anyone here work for Hils transcription...
or know much about them?  Any info is appreciated, email me if you like.  Thanks.
Any information out there on Hils Transcription?

How is the pay rate?  Is pay on time?  What type of platform?  Lot's of ESL? 


~I already search Archives and found nothing recent.  ;)


Thanks!


Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.


Thanks so much to all who answered!
It makes it worse when your posts don't get answered either!! But you guys did, and they stayed long enough for me to read!! No, I am not impressed so far. I could have been hitting the job boards myself for a week now!! Happy nearly weekend!
Is MDI-MD the same as MDI? Sorry if this has been answered before. nm

i answered
your e/mail and it bounced back to me ???
Sorry nobody has answered.
Landmark - can be great when there is work. As far as I know not steady enough for full time.  Pay is not great as they don't pay for spaces.  MDI-MD I know they get lots of raves, but I have known some who have not had things go well.  I would definitely try them out before leaving Q. Of those I know who did, several are struggling.  No experience myself with them.  I know from the past, though, that I never leave one before I know the other is all its painted out to be. Best wishes.
I just answered you below.

I have already answered this above. nm

This has already been answered. Only
you can decide. Neither has a great reputation, but Transcend is probably a safer bet than Softscript, but again, only you can decide.
you may just have answered sm

a question for me.   I don't work for the same company, but my company just lost the ER part of a huge account.  Asked questions for over a month about what was going on and only got the answer that things were slow.  Bull!  all of a sudden.  Finally was told yesterday we lost the biggest part of the ER account which slowed everything down, due to budget restraints. 


I am wondering if the ERs went to VR and nobody is telling us.  I have come to the conclusion taht all these companies will LIE! 


I wish they would figure out that they would be better off to let the MTs know at the beginning what is going on so they could make informed decisions about getting other jobs.  So frustrating!


Are you happy now? I answered them all.
I cannot believe you would side with someone who shouts at people for not having any worthwhile input to the questions. People can search the archives for information about ALL the companies listed. Otherwise, Google will bring up any comments made at this and other MT sites. I was not being nasty. Why is it so hard to believe that out of 60-100 views, none of those people worked for XX company? Believe me, honey, I've been plenty nice around here answering technical, newbie and word board questions. You don't shout at people who try to help. THAT is nasty and offensive.
Just answered a question, that's all.
????
I asked this before and don't think it was answered (sm)
Have you ever heard of or worked for Orion (OMT)?  Been offered a job and am considering it. 
This question was answered

Please disregard. You already answered. nm

Thanks to you guys who answered...

on Oracle. Guess I don't know about the platform since I saw some not so favorable reviews on using it and being productive, am trying to figure out what exactly I really need to get started purchasing and I don't think at this point a C-phone would be one I would be willing to purchase. Thanks for the info!!


Anyone out there on JLG and their platform? Thanks!


Nobody has answered my JLG inquiry...

Please somebody tell me.  Good to their MTs, flexible, how is pay, what platform, how is QA? 


 


We hav recently answered these
Look on page 2,3,4,5 etc...
I have answered that many times.
If you don't want to provide that info you don't have to but they don't have to review your incomplete application either.

Sorry, just noticed nobody answered you yet. sm
The benefits are pretty good regarding PTO and holidays.  If you are asking about insurance, the coverage is great with BC/BS, which you can use almost anywhere.  All good providers take it.   Cost depends on how many you are insuring.  If you yourself, it is about $75 per month.  Cost grows for spouse, or 1 dependent, then entire family.  The cost for that is pretty high, but individual is good.
and there was no reason for you to have answered, if you -sm
felt uncomfortable or paranoid about the question being asked. It was not a requirement for you to answer anything. jmo
No one answered this. Does it mean what I think it means?
