    There are multiple platforms for rad including Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star, MiSys. Sm
    I am on a MiSys account. I have a few friends on RadNet and ExText accounts. All radiology. I think it is the same for Medical Records too.


    Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
    high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

    I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
    Many different platforms and accounts...sm
    KS is a large company with many different accounts, different platforms, and I would guess scheduling flexibility could vary from one account to another. Then throw in the fact that line production can vary from MT to MT -- well, it's too broad a question to answer with specifics! I would be search the archives, though, because there is a lot of KS information to be had there.
    There are different platforms for different accounts. sm
    The oncology account is new. It uses Allscripts which is very easy to use. I am going to be on the ortho end of the same clinic.
    however, they have different platforms/accounts; you can't comment on all;

    Both and worked on 2 accounts and 2 platforms sm
    but I couldn't get any more than 11,0001
    I haven't heard anything. Is it all accounts and platforms? nm

    AllType-unstructured, several platforms depending on accounts

    so you could possibly have to learn 2 or 3 platforms depending on what your back ups are.  Too chaotic and hard to get work in that way!!!


    I am including all insurance deductions including nm

    Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including

    sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !


    I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
    They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.

    Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.


    I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
    for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
    No it is everything including interventional
    mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
    9 cpl including spaces
    ..
    I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
    you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
    But if they are saying per character are they including spaces?
    I'd ask if a space = a character.  ;)
    I couldn't find anyone, including TT, who would allow only ops.

    Do you happen to know if it would be any different including a spouse?

    No one here, including the OP whined about working..sm
    a weekend! You assume way too much! Of course there are times we are going to all have to work weekends. The point of this whole conversation (since you obviously missed it) is how crappy it is for MTSOs to offer only one of two schedules...give up every Saturday for the rest of your life or a Sunday. Some people do like to go away for the weekend, to their child's Saturday soccer game, or to church! Rotational weekends are awesome and I do them myself! I won't however give up every single Sat. or Sun. until I leave this company. It's not happening!
    Many of the ones in the "management" positions, including
    ROMs, team leads, and the rest, have never been in management and do not know how to handle having power. It goes to their heads, so they are on an ego trip, they love to manipulate and care less about who they hurt on their way up. They only care about their bonuses and big pay checks. They take care of their friends and everyone else be damned.

    Good company, great people. Give them a try.

    Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
    TIA
    About 5 years ago was offered 10 cpl including spaces, 65 characters. sm
    Don't know about now. That was doing all acute care, mainly op reports with full benefit package.

    I declined and have my own accounts, but it was a good offer.

    Good luck.

    I do work all hours, including my days off, and 3rd shift

    to try to make up hours, but I'm short most weeks.   There are lots of accounts with low work, yet they keep hiring more.


    I don't need the benefits, but I was told that if there is no work it will not affect benefits.   I am new too and not eligible for benefits until next month anyway, so I can't say if that is true or not. 


     


    TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)

    I am sorry I can not state my company.  They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now.  I did see them post twice when I was looking, though.  Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.


    To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business.  I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!


    This issue IS... Do you want your QA that determines your errors, including punctuation, Indians.???
    I have no problem maintaining quality and agree that 98% and above is acceptable and definitely quality what we all strive for, I just am offended that someone I cannot even understand and they cannot understand me, being the ones doing the quality checks on my work. That is my issue with it. You have not been there long enough. I was there a few months before they started bothering me. The problem was that I would tell them No, I cannot do the stat right now as I am logging off and they would still keep asking me. What part of NO in the English language is that hard to understand. Good luck with that.
    Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
    What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.

    Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
    Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.

    If your hired FT and you fail to meet line counts, you'll lose your benefits including any PTO
    that you have acrued. So, it's best to stick to what you signed up for or you'll get moved to PT status and have no benefits.

    Somehow I missed that.....SM
    Was it this week's? For some reason, I didn't get it last week but got it the week before that. I just figured they didn't do one last week...... Most companies do have at least a few accounts on VR but I don't like it. I've been really happy at Amphion the last month and a half and thought I had found the company for me but that's just my luck - seems like at every company things will go good for about 8 months and then things change on you. Hope history doesn't repeat itself here.........
    I got both. Were you missed somehow? sm
    I did not reimbursed. I had a trial version and they gave me a new unlocking key. Wow. It's like we work for different companies. I think we are on the same account as I was on a conference call about the account when SH was mentioned. I got the cheat sheet instructions and license within a week. You really should call.
    You missed it

    The poster I was responding to, said that she always gets her 80 hours and her lines WITHIN her shift and that it is an easy thing to do.  I asked how she does it when there is NO work.   I am flexible, I have to be because of the lack of work.  I was asking her to explain to us how she can get her lines and hours in on days when there is no work.  Some days I am practically chained to the computer. 


    I missed that ad. (sm)

    What happened with that?


    I thought that it was odd that they were posting on an MT website.


    Thanks so much!!


    Uh, no. I'd say YOU missed the point.

    The first poster said: "You could take someone off the street and that person WOULD be doing the best they could possibly do."  Poster never said "could".  The only way someone off the street WOULD be doing their best is if they got hired.  The other person's opinion about companies not hiring someone off the street is correct in context. 


    I know for sure that I missed at least 3 questions - sm
    They were sound alike words. I was nervous. However, I did very well on the written test and the transcription parts. I was offered a job, that I really did not expect after my verbal test. So, try not to worry too much about it. I think there are about 10 questions. Good luck!
    well, apparently I have missed that.
    Not a problem, though. Have a great day
    you missed my point
    poster did not ask who makes really great money. Yes, you are making what you make, yes that is real. To tell the poster that $50,000 year is decent is not realistic. Making $25,000 a year is decent and realistic. Do you understand?
    Sorry, I missed the posts below. nm
