I work for eTrans and love it sm

In Reply to: Anyone have any experience with Med-Scribe (FL) and/or etransplus? SM - decisions

I've been with them since April after I got fed up with the Q. I have never had trouble making my line count without killing myself to get it, and the people are very helpful and friendly. Line rate depends on how much you produce, so it's up to me, myself, and I to make the money I want. I use their platform but know that they are getting some ExText accounts started also.

I work at etrans and have had trouble for 2 years -
email me privately...
ETrans is looking for PT people on Extext for clinic work sm
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday, 10/24. I don't do clinic and I prefer to work in Extext, but they don't have OPs and cardiac stuff, which is all I do. I THINK she said she had rheumatology, psych and ortho on Extext, all clinic stuff. It is EtransPlus. You can look on Job seeker's or email me for her email address.
I work at etrans. Would recommend them. Specific questions - email me... nm

I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Spheris has work and they would love to have you work

I have been at eTrans for 15 months now and I like it. You have to produce to get the good pay so I do not recommend it for part time because the rate is not good for that. They lack communication sometimes is a bad point and can get very irritating. They pretty much leave you alone and are flexible with your schedule, which for me is a plus. If you do adhere to your schedule you get extra to your line rate so it is pretty much your choice. I have been on a radiology account since August but did acute care before that. The account I had was pretty easy. I love the radiology account. They have good insurance with normal rate. I know some have the same insurance cheaper, but in the world today what we pay for our insurance it is pretty average. You do get net reimbursement and PTO. I am sure I forgot some things, but maybe I helped in the process.

I've gotten a job offer from eTransPlus but I just don't wanna jump into another fire and end up hating it.  How are they to work for?  I truly just wanna be left alone and allowed to type and not get bogged down in politics.


thanx in advance


eTrans Plus
Any feedbackon eTrans Plus???  Thanks!   
anyone know about Etrans Plus?
Have any info on this company?  Is it a good place to work?  Stable work flow?
etrans
I worked for etrans for 6 1/2 years since the day the doors opened.  In the beginning they were awesome.  Over the years, they have turned to crap.  Me and other veteran employees were recently laid off for making too much money.  Then they denied our unemployment, got caught with that and then tried to deny our PTO, got in trouble for that.  They are losing more accounts then they are getting.  I have a job now where the owner actually cares about her employees.  Loyalty and dedication means nothing to Etrans.  They will hit you when you are down.  I have many references to back it up.
eTrans Plus...RUN
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post my most recent experience in my hunt for a good place. eTrans-Plus is the company, located in Nashville TN. First of all they use DVI Voicewave which is a very old system which has not been improved upon in ages mixed with a virtual desktop which you have no control over to do your transcription in. They provide ShortHand software, but if you want to have what you're used to you're just out of luck. I also would like to comment that their HR person there is EXTREMELY out of order. They also have some of the highest insurance rates I've seen.

Welp, just needed to vent...Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
ETrans Plus
Can someone tell me what medical ETrans Plus offers and the requirements are to get them? TY
etrans
Does eTransPlus offshore?  Do they have ASR?
eTrans
I have been at eTransPlus for several months working on the ExText platform.  So far so good except for the QA person assigned who I find ill-prepared, unclear, defensive, and has no interest in carrying on a 2-way conversation.  Get past her and everything else seems to be fine ...so far.  I have learned, however, that these companies are often not what they appear at the beginning so I hesitate to give a rave review with my 4 months of experience.  Can't speak to other platforms.  This one is wonderfully easy.
eTrans
I work for Etrans and feel the tiered pay is very unfair. The quality of work is the only thing that should matter when it comes to compensation. There have been days (almost a week) at a time when work was low and I had my pay cut to 6 cents a line for the entire pay period. Also, while I was waiting for training to be set up on a new account, which they forgot to schedule, I sat for a whole week with no work, my pay was cut. This has made me ineligible for benefits also. There are many reason a line count can occasionally drop temporarily. Why should I have not only less work but at a lessor rate?

They have no problem calling me asking me to start work early or to work over when there is extra work. I don't get paid extra for that nor is there any overtime for working extra days. I don't know how this is legal.

I like eTrans and the people there are nice. They don't bug you a lot, but I still need to make a decent living which I am not. Again, I think the quality of work should matter more than quantity. For some of us, we can only type at a certain speed, and after 20 years transcribing, I think I have reached my peak, so this is it. I am not going to get any faster.

Thanks for letting me vent.
Etrans
I kept getting job offers from one of their recruiters thanking me for contacting them....which I never did. I thought that was weird.  I appreciate the work offers but have your information together before you contact me.
Etrans
Amanda...Just wondering...Were you able to collect unemployment after you quit Etrans? I've never been on unemployment, but I thought you would not be able to collect if you had quit a job....is that not right?
Etrans

I haven't noticed the line count, but thanks for bringing that to my attention!


etrans

As of this moment I'm employed by EtransPlus. I didn't know there could possibly be anything worse than the program I use which is Mongoose!  


Have you been able to reach your line counts lately? I have been having a terrible time for the last 3 months....it's not getting any better and I'm planning to throw in the towel soon. I can't sit here for 8 hours and come away with less than minimum wage! I also see there has been a major rearranging of staff...do you know what's happening there?


I would love to work for DRC (sm)
but their family insurance coverage is over $900 per month! I can't afford to pay half of my salary for insurance. I wish they had a cheaper insurance plan.
I LOVE it this way! I get my work at 6 am and have
until 6 am the next day to return it completed. I love it! It's the greatest thing in the world. Some days, I type all morning and I'm done by noon, some days I have things to do so I type in the evening - works out great, AND, I get paid much higher doing it this way!
I work for them...love it!

I work for DSG..love it there.

I'm not an editor, but the staff, editors and MTs are great to work with.  I am happy there.

I work there and love it
I have been an SPI/CyMed employee for a year now and I love it there. The platform that they use is called Chartnet and it is sooooo easy to use. I have a great account that I have been on for the entire year that I have been there and I love it. I make excellent money there. My manager is very friendly and helpful. They do also have benefits, but I don't know too much about them since I have never needed to get them.
I work for them and love them.
Great place to work.
love VR work
Try Precyse Solutions. I work for them and do VR and absolutely love it. Have done it for quite awhile and feel I am more productive than straight typing. Also gives hands a break. Their platform rm is wonderful as well. Good luck!
I work for WMX, love it ...
Granted, I've only been there for a few weeks, but so far I love it.  The people are absolutely great, the platform is easy, and I really like the 12-hour window to get my work done in.  My primary is 30-50% ESL, but I'm finding out that it's actually much less than that, unless I'm really getting lucky, which is always a possibility.  It seems like overall it would balance out, though, to get my fair share of it.  I don't have any complaints at all about WMX.  Love their incentive tier platform, also.  You get paid incentive on ALL work done, not just work done ABOVE the incentive base. 
I would LOVE to work at FN!

I am from South Carolina and know the new account they are obtaining very well.  I have called, tested (they emailed me back and said I passed) and emailed and have not heard anything.  This would be a dream account for me as I have worked for many of the doctors on this account in the past.  Any advice? 


would love to go to work..sm
I would love to go to work for this company.  I put in my resume, but haven't heard anything.  Do you know how long it takes for them to respond?
I love where I work.
Medium size I guess, lots of work, pay on time, flexible hours. Love it!
I work for TRS and I love it.
I've been there 5 months now, and the only way I could be happier is if my old boss hadn't shut down his practice so that I had to find a new job....

After all the horror stories I've read here and elsewhere about other companies (some of which also offered me jobs) I consider myself very, very lucky in my choice of jobs. They've kept every single promise they made when they recruited me, and the only times we've run out of work have been on major holidays.

E-mail me at crankybeach at yahoo dot com if you have specific questions, or want to know more. :)
I work there, love it
I do work on VR but working only parttime do at least $500 per week. I have never had an email asking about where I was in the years I have been there. Maybe you have a problem with not showing up to work? I love the lack of communication, no one breathes down your neck there.
I work for TTS and love it
Anytime someone wants to know about TTS it always seem to garner the same information. Some love, others hate. I do VR and my platform is extremely good. I get paid on time, hardly any feedback. I have worked there about 2 and a half years and very satisfied.
I don't work for WMX, but also love sm
to do ops. My experience, and I hope this is wrong in your case, is, one has to work their way up in order to get lots of ops.

I would put the word out you enjoy them and are very experienced. Many MTs don't like doing them, although I cannot figure out why.

Anyway, good luck to you.
I work there and LOVE it. sm
Pay is on time, doctors for the most part are great, accounts are super picky, QA are wonderful.  I highly recommend them!
What I love is someone who is out of this work now
and yet finds the time to educate others on what they should and should not do. I also really like when people can run either hot or cold, 1 day 1 way, the next day the next. I think if I had any legal action facing me I probably would think more about that than telling others what to do.
eTrans plus is EXCELLENT!
love my job at ETP! Good folks, good benefits, good pay, good accounts, feel like I'm in MT heaven!
eTrans info sm

I am very happy at eTrans. Before this, I worked at MQ, so I know what it's like to work at a bad company. As far as my work load, I never have a problem getting the minimum lines for the day and beyond if I want. I start early in the morning and rarely have to work more than an hour extra on slow days, usually only the last day of the pay period for some reason, and like I said, that is rare. I don't know about overhiring.  I get plenty of work to make the incentives if I wish. I have always been paid on time every time. And as far as demographics, the system I am working in is really easy with no real slowing down for demos.


I know eTrans was called out a few days ago by former employees, but I have to say I have never had any of the bad experiences that were posted. The tech people have been great, even though I've only had to talk to them once. My supervisor is great and has always been there when needed. I have a great account, a great backup account, and a great platform that means I don't have to kill myself to get the lines I need like MQ. I even referred my own mother to this company, and she is about to start with them next week. Do you think I would do that if I thought they were an awful company?


Hope this helps.


eTrans Question

How is the sound quality for eTrans?  I took the test last night and sound was very scratchy, static, muffled.  Is the normal dictation like this or is it just the test?  Also, anyone know what their line rate is?


eTrans and Shorthand
Is there anyone working for eTrans that is having trouble with their word expansions. I have been having a really great lag, and sometimes my ShortHand words expand and sometimes they don't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this. I feel like I am typing in quicksand. It is driving me crazy. My line count is really down. There is a big lag and sometimes I will be on another line and look back to see an shortcut that did not expand. My internet provider was just upgraded to the fastest that is available, so I do not think this is the problem. Anyone else have this problem with Shorthand?
eTrans shorthand
I work for eTrans also and have the same problems you are experiencing with shorthand. It is soooo frustrating!
Does eTrans pay for spaces?
I know there was a company I talked with a while back that said they did not pay for spaces, but don't recall if this is the one. Does anyone know?
Etrans info
Feedback on Etrans out of Nashville?  Is the software MT friendly, productive, etc.etc.  Thank you.

love ortho work
Me too!  I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I'd love to work for OSI in management
LOL
I work for CorT and love it!
Have been working with them for about 6 months now.  There have also been good posts about this company.  It's amazing how people forget the good.  They are great people to work for.  They have had problems in the past with pay, but that has been resolved.  I've had no pay problems since then.  They have consistent work.  The owners actually care about the people that work for them.  I will not be looking elsewhere for a place to work!
