I don't work for them, but can give some info

Posted By: sm on 2006-01-16
In Reply to: ? re WebMedx.Are they flexible w/ PT hrs? What's appx line pay? sm - looking

I interviewed with them several months ago.  For level 3 acute care, I was offered 10 cpl for IC, 11 cpl over a certain number of lines per week.  For IC, line requirement was 1000 lines per week and seemed that they would be very flexible.  Use your own computer if IC.


I was also offered 8.5 cpl for employee status (with incentives depending on lines per hour worked).  I think they required 20 hours per week and have to keep an average of at least 150 lines per hour (it sounded like they had a time clock system).  They provide the computer if employee status. 


Everyone I spoke to was very nice, especially the recruiter.  I turned the offer down due to reasons not relating to the company in particular.  They did tell me that they had a lot of ESL (the test consisted of all ESL), but I don't know if this would apply to ER.  Hope this helps.

MedWrite Transcription... anyone work/worked for this company can give me any info?

Not really, if anyone has info, they give SM
an answer.  If no one knows, the post doesn't get a reply.
Could you give me any info on
Transcend.  I am so glad to hear a positive post about a company.  As I said, I am starting very soon, am very excited about a change of pace.  I was getting kind of bored and their pay incentive looks excellent.  They are also sending me the computer, everything.  Thanks for something positive on this mostly negative board.
Please someone give me as much info as possible on MDI-FL..sm
I am torn between them and another company that I have a job offer with.  I was quoted a rate on their insurance and the quote was comparable to everyone else.  I was wondering if you ran out of work, easily could meet your production, and if the program was not too hard.  I have been an MT for many years.  I just would like some information on them as I don't want to make the wrong decision.  TIA!
Could you give us some more info?
Nice to find somebody who actually works for them.  You said you work part-time - about how many hours a week?  About how much per hour can you make and what are the line rates like?  I heard you have to buy expensive equipment.  Is that still so?  Good accounts?  Thanks.
They sure don't give out much info
on their website regarding job requirements, etc.  They are not hiring right now but your job sounds so good.  Do you get paid for spaces? Right now I am at a company that only does consultation letters and I bet I spend 5-10 minutes PER report looking up doctor's addresses for the carbon copies. There are very few ESLs and the dictation if fairly good and the owner is terrific to work for, but I cannot make a decent living.  The major issue that holds me back is I only have dialup internet and so many companies require high speed.   Thanks.
Can anyone give me some info on --sm

MD-IT?  I guess I am not sure how to search the archives for any information. Rate of pay would be good, platform, etc.  This one is in Kentucky.


TIA

Can anybody give me info on JLG
How are they like to work for, do they have work, do they do VR and what is their platform?  I have been considering applying there, but just cannot seem to find any good MT companies to work for nowadays.

Any MDI-FL employees that can give me some info? (sm)

Flexibility with schedules, insurance?? I know they have benefits and insurance but wondered if insurance was good. Just overall opinions on satisfaction or dissatisfaction would be appreciated.  TIA.


Can someone give info on Precyse VRs?

I have done ASRs before with Transcend and with Transcend it would have been faster retyping the report. I would like some current info on what it is like working on Precyse ASRs?  Thanks...


Is there anyone that can give any info on DSG. I am looking at applying there and would like some
info. Thanks.
Is there anyone that can give any info on DSG. I am looking at applying there and would like some

Can anyone give my any info on Med-Scribe in Florida?
They have called me back about a position on an ER account. I was wondering if anyone has worked for this company and could share the positives and negatives about them. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Anyone who works at eMTS willing to give some info?
I am interested in this place since their web site says they were affiliated with MRC.  I worked for MRC for years and loved it, then it became the Q and I finally left there recently after over 15 years.  Am looking for a company that would be a good fit for me, wondering if this might be a possibility?  If you would rather email that would be fine too.  I am interested in how many hours/lines is required for FT, if they hire PT at all, what do they mean by flexible schedule is it REALLY flexible?  And what kind of production incentives do they offer?  Also, what platform do they use and how is that as far as user friendly, etc.?  I have worked on DQS and EXTEXT recently, any comparison?  Any info would be appreciated, positives/negatives/etc.  Thanks!
No thanks. Dont want to give this much control/info
that you don't know about.  What kind of software/spyware/trackers are also put on your PC with something like this?  No thanks.
Can anyone give any updated info on Amphion? sm

Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them.  I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change.  I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family.  I currently work EVERY Saturday.  Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay. 


I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.


I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care.  Other important things to consider in my search is benefits.  The health insurance at my current company is very expensive. 


Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.


 


Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?

I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is.  Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?


I mean, any info you can give me about this company would be greatly appreciated.
nm
Who in the world would give you any info other than an email address?
With most of the flaky ads, no one knows who they are applying to, or what will be done with their info.  Their is no way I would give you my address or phone number, unless I know you are a real company, with a website and and and address and a phone number of your own.  Most ads do not even include this, and there is no way I am giving you my private info, other than an anonymous email address.
Anyone working for Landmark right now that can give any info on things there. nm
:
Nope. No 20hr position. Please don't give wrong info.
nm
MD-IT in Austin, Texas, please give info!!! GEMS platform Thank you!!! sm
I would appreciate any info out there on MD-IT out of Austin, Texas and the GEMS platform.
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
I currently work for KS..If I were you, I would give (sm)
it maybe a little more time, just to see if it gets better.  But as soon as you really think it's definitely not for you, I would contact the client manager in the office and tell them it's not working out for you on this account.  They have been more than fair with me and I believe they will do all in their power to accommodate you. If you don't know for sure who to contact about it, talk to Becky and she will either help you or direct you to the right person. Good luck!
I also work both until I am sure new job will work out. Then give 2 weeks.
:+
Ask for extra work, they are probably willing to give it if it's there. nm
nm
I work there and am very happy. Give 'em a try!
Very professional, accommodating, and fair.
Do you mean in addition to your reg Friday work? When do they give it to you?
nm
Forbid? This is the USA! You give them 8 hours work...sm
for 8 hours pay, or 1000 lines for whatever rate. They can pay me for the other 16 hours in the day and then forbid me. Can we forbid them to have other employees? Wake up ladies!
Majority of MTs say just give me the work and leave
x
Give a 2-week notice, but work less
therefore, you will not be out of much money if they indeed do not pay you.  Also, if you leave, be well informed that you probably will not make what you are making now at any other company right off the bat.  You said you have been at this place for years, so you will have to build up your income again and pay.  Sad to say, but they probably have people who can do the job at less money now and are willing to sacrifice a good employee to have a bigger cut of the pay that they can get cheaper.  I wish you the best, but I do not think it is personal.  I believe it is business and you generate too much income away from them.  Good luck and I hope you find another good home.
give the work to the busiest & most efficient
nm
Then they should give that work to those who have a shortage. Otherwise, they are overhiring. nm

Maybe the company you work for would give you an advance? sm

Depending upon where you work, how long you have been there, size of the company, etc., that might be a consideration.  Also, maybe other temporary work, like Kelly Girls (if they even have that anymore).  I know we used to have temps in our office that were paid every week. 


The pawn shop idea might be a good one.  I think if you don't have the money in 30 days, you can just pay the interest or whatever.  You wouldn't lose the instruments.  If you are willing to part with someone, ebay and Craigslist can provide some quick cash.  Good luck to you.  I am my sole support, and I have been in tight situations before and know how scary that can be.  My heart goes out to you. 


To: "I don't work for Axolotl." Give me a break...sm
The post you took the time to critique may be been riddled with typos, but your's is riddled with ignorance. This is a message board, dear. What an MT posts here can hardly be compared to the confidential legal documents in a patient's permanent medical record. To come here and judge a person's qualifications and skill set based on a few statements quickly jotted down in a post is not only unwarranted, but arrogant, asinine, etc. I'm so tired of seeing professional MTs being picked apart because of a few typos on a public forum. I know this doesn't happen on other message boards. Why here??

I don't take the time to proofread the random phrases I post here like I do with the reports I transcribe. I seriously doubt many others do either.

This site is by far the most negative forum on the web. Inflammatory, negative remarks don't add to the conversation or benefit any of us. Frankly, I'm tired of reading them.
Work not taken-Give company a chance

I have been with Transcend for almost 6 years and while they are not a perfect company they are better than most.  There have been mergers in the past-I actually came from the other MDI (which was a much more laid back company).  As far as I've seen with past mergers you get to keep your work.  They don't take you off it and give it to someone else.  That makes no sense to have to train new MTs for your accts and you on something else.  I know you are unhappy that you have to make a change but give Transcend a chance.  They are a good company. Is it a good fit for everyone?  No, but you won't know until you give it a chance with an open mind.  And before the bashers get on and say I am management, I am not, just another in the trenches MT who has worked for other services in the past. As far as outsourcing, I know it is done but as far as I can tell it is not a lot.  I work on 2 different platforms and both have plenty of work and have had for quite a while now. 


THANK YOU!! WOW even if i wanted to work there I would NEVER give her the option of a referral as

Great place to work - give 'em a try!
:)
