Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they

In Reply to: Feel the same way ever since... - better not

MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.

Entry-level work
What companies like to hire recent grads other than Focus and Encompass?
Entry-level work
Thank you!
entry level
any 1 know of entry level MT jobs in centrl txs or at hme..???
Entry level
Has anyone received a response from the entry level position on a pediatric account with Medtransolutions?
entry level
I'm thinking about getting my MT certificate and need some advice. Is it hard to find work as an entry level mt? Also, does it matter where I get my certificate (at home or reg classroom)? Do most companies have set hours or do you work when you want? I'm really excited about this new career! Any advise?
Why entry level only?
I see where World Wide Dictation is looking for entry level transcriptionists to do non-medical work.....insurance claims, paying up to 9.5 cpl.  Why only entry level?  If it's such simple work, why not let anyone in who is willing to do it for the amount offered?
MT entry level?
Lately I have read where companies offering you an MT position and then say you have an opportunity for advancement. This really ticks me off!! I Love being an MT, have always felt that an Acute Care/Hospital Medical Transcriptionist was at the top. I personally would not want a QA or administration position and certainly do not feel I would be making a move up…at the absolute least it would be just a different move.

The only thing I do not like about being an MT is that most companies don't give raises if you get paid per line or are an IC. I have been doing this for 12+ years and companies want to pay the same rates per line as 12 years ago. The only way to make more money is to type faster and/or more hours. They have forget about the cost of living that keeps going up.

Does anyone ever hire entry level MT?

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any company out there hiring for entry level MTs.  I have the Medical background and the typing skills.  I'm a fast learner and looking to work at home as an MT.  Anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks


Laurie


Webmedx-Entry level?
Does Webmedx ever hire entry-level MTs?  Anyone gotten hired with less than the 2 years experienced required?  I have about 6 months acute care.  Is Webmedx one of the companies that will wave this experience for an MT from one of the AAMT-approved schools? 
Hiring MTs with entry level exp
I have just graduated from a MT program and am looking for work.  I am willing to work the hours no one else wants.  Can anyone suggest companies that hire MTs with entry level experience.  My husband is working in Iraq and I would like to supplement his income so he can come home.
Entry-level MTs are hired all the time...
but in this industry, entry level usually refers to someone who has completed a comprehensive MT training course but has no actual paid MT experience. My suggestion would be to investigate training at M-TEC or Andrews before thinking of looking for a job.
If you are entry level, what is the line requirement.

and how long will they give you to make that count.  Also can someone tell me what the pay will be for entry level.  I see they are hiring all the time and was interested.


 


Thanks.


Are there any companies who hires entry-level MTs

Does anybody knows who hires entry-level MTs?



KG


yes, but it states no entry-level hows that for interesting?
nm
What about the Entry Level Computer Support Specialist.....sm
opening that is listed in Atlanta Journal (ajc.com). Do you think it's pretty much already filled from within?
some companies hire entry level graduates
nm
I assumed it meant you didn't need years of experience..what does entry level mean to you?
nm
They have NO level 5 accounts, though, never have.
x
Spheris does for higher level accounts. SM

You could easily do these accounts with 20 years of experience. If you apply, DO NOT LET THEM PUT YOU ON CLINICS. Say acute care or nothing.


 


That said, 9.6 cpl and benefits.


Problem is there are not enough level 9 accounts for expd
aa
I have been bouncing around from one account to another, and now they are all out of work!
Trying to hang in there, but I need to work, not sit around waiting for work to MAYBE roll in.
Yes. Last entry on community board. ALL Web work is overflow.
I am fairly sure all their accounts still have in-house transcription departments. All mine do. The Atlanta account you mentioned started the same time as my main and always has more work than my hospital, which is an account that has almost completely dried up over the last year. STM states they are saving work for their in-house MTs.
Amphion's nonpay work of data entry is discussed with every post

What level work was that for? sm
Clinic or acute care?  What level?  TIA
Level 3 work

Does anyone else feel this way?  I'm a longtime acute care MT.  I always work my schedule, including weekends and holidays, have 98% to 99% accuracy.  I left MQ because of the changes; for years I averaged 200-250 lph and net $600. per week.  Then they changed platforms and I got nothing but ESL, mealymouths and static.   My income dropped in half and my stress level doubled.  I went to a company that has gotten rave reviews on this board and was put on a good account with fair line counts.  Then it began running out of work just as I was starting to see decent money.  They put me on a backup account (which is all I've been getting for days now, not my primary) and it is nothing but ESLs.  I KNOW there are decent dictators at every facility, and I'm willing to do my share of the bad ones, but ALL BAD?  What gives?  Do they WANT me to quit?  I'm not complaining so don't jump all over me.  I'm just curious if others are noticing this too.


I left MQ and went to work for them. I am level 8 SM
and on an account with lots of ESLs and started out doing DS which for me, not very productive. I put in my 2 weeks notice, and told my team leader why.
What kind of work types does Level 4 do at
x
They have a low level 4, high level 4 and level 5.
nm
I ditto these 2 posts. Plus, on a personal/work level (sm)
All of that aside, when it comes down to doing the real work, many old and new MTs at MQ experience multiple accounts with multiple client profiles to read which cuts down on productivity. Even if you get 15 cents a line it doesn't matter if you have to waste time reading CPs and never becoming familiar with one account. JMO also.
Level 2 is clinic and level 3
Level 1 is ER work.  It's ER, but I get a great line count.  Plenty of macros and normals, we are paid for all of them. 
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
bouncing checks
I am so glad you posted this. I just left Klaar too after only being employed 30 days. I have to wait another 5 days the bookkeeper at my bank says before I can call her back to find out if my payroll check from Klaar is good and has not bounced. The owner/Klaar told me he would wire me the money if I didn't receive my check that day. He made this statement (in email) 3 days in a row. He said he heard on the news this was the busiest time of the year for U.S. mail because of Christmas. And HELLO--what is the deal with mailing payroll checks and not placing them in a priority mail envelope??? I'm not afraid of naming this company, K is for Klaar. The owner's manner is creepy and unprofessional. How does this guy keep his job? Then he angrily emails me back making statements like I need to retract on my slanderous remarks because I'm now telling him I'm receiving information from former Klaar employees. In this stressful world of many bills, there are no words to describe how infuriating it is to know you've wasted time on a situation like this. He stated my claims just weren't true. BULL. Dept. of Labor will get a phone call from me if my 2 payroll checks bounce from this guy. Also, no one will answer the phone in their office that I phoned many, many times. Very suspicious and underhanded.
Bouncing paychecks....
Is there anything you can do when check issued by company bounce? I have only worked part time for this company about six months, but this is the second time one of their checks has bounced. I am only working here until I get a few accounts on my own independently so I that is why I have continued to work for them. I just cannot believe a company would be so money-tight as to issue bad checks for work that has been done. Anyone ever have this happen to them?????
etranz in GA is still bouncing paychecks. sm

I just got an email from a friend/former co-worker of mine who also worked for etranz in Georgia.  She had over $1000 in checks bounce.  It took her almost 3 months to get them, finally did and now they have bounced!  Please, if any of you MTs know of anyone who is looking for work, please be sure to steer them away from etranz.  They make their ads sound great with weekend incentives and higher line rates, but getting your paycheck is nearly impossible....and when you do get it - it may bounce. 


Please pass the word around about this unprofessional, unethical company!


Ive tried, but the emails keep bouncing back to me.

bouncing checks & crazy captain
Ladies: I PROMISE that if I find out that both of my payroll checks from Klaar (there are only 2) actually clear the bank and are okay in my checking account, I will return to this post and let you know that I retract my negative statements about Klaar. The payroll checks are drawn on Wachovia. Don't know if that is good or bad, Chicago area. I SINCERELY HOPE that both of my checks clear and all of this is over. I don't want to contact Dept. of Labor but I will because one way or another, I WILL GET MY MONEY/WAGES. I EARNED THEM.
COMCAST AND AOL EMAILS BOUNCING BACK

Many of you who requested union initiative information are using Comcast or AOL addresses, and our emails are being kicked back.


Please enable contact at USMLSU dot ORG in your email program; if the email is bouncing we have no way of getting it to you.


If you cannot enable our address, contact us again using a Gmail, Yahoo, Ymail or other web address (create a new one if you don't already have one).


They're bouncing checks lately as per posts here and on MTDaily. nm

Is it true that CorT is bouncing checks and LYING?

This will be the downfall of MQ if they continue this bouncing people around. Whoever thought up
this way for MTs to work is so entirely wrong that there is no way they have ever ever done this job. They are totally to the wind doing this. Anyone who has ever done MT work will say that the best way to get the best lines and best quality is to keep MTs with what they know and what they do best. One main and one backup is all anyone should ever have to do. We have constant complaining in my office from the hospitals about things that are done wrong and it is ABSOLUTELY because of people not used to the account hopping in when they run out. Bad bad business.
Bet no good QA now - they've chased them away by bouncing checks and lying.
:-(
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines.  Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time. 
Just how EZ is it to get off of the DI entry acct

Encompass- How are the accounts and work flow? Do you have a lot of work?
I need to keep busy. I cant sit here every day hoping for work so I'm looking elsewhere.
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
data entry companies
Wondering if anyone knows of some data entry positions and if so where can I go to find work from home.
Does anyone do any data entry from home?
Just curious.  I would like to cut down to part time doing MT work and do some part time data entry!!!!
Did any of below posters google? Did you see entry

Data Entry / Excalibur
Does anyone work for or know anything about this company?  Sorry, no time nor money for scams.
Excaliber Data entry
So Excaliber Data Entry was a scam?  I wondered why it disappeared and they got me for the $55.  LIVE AND LEARN.  Just was trying to get something part-time as DTS, America has been out of work since I started in March....If I have work I can make the line requirement and I have 1 primary and 3 backup accounts. :(
Excaliber Data entry
   It is MY OWN STUPID fault.  My husband said the same thing, anything or anyone who wants money up front.
