Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


WebMedX or Diskriter

Here is the deal . . .


I work for Diskriter.  They seem to be pretty decent, but I have gotten a better pay offer to do similar work (i.e. Clinic).  The only difference between the 2 jobs is that the job with Webmedx would have more ESL than I am used to (from 30% to 40-50%), but they do give you the ability to look at previous reports by that dictator to use as examples (I don't seem to have too much of a problem with most ESL dictators).  Also, it seems that Webmedx has a better platform in that you don't have to spend time entering patient information into your transcription platform, which I think would ultimately save me time.  Can someone help?  I just need to know what would be the better choice, whether I should just stay put or if Webmedx is great to work for and is an opportunity I should pass up.  Any information/advice/words would be very much appreciated.  Thank YOU!


Diskriter and I believe Webmedx.
Spheris used to also.  
go with Webmedx - avoid Diskriter if you can - sm
When I worked for DKR it was a nightmare. I would be overloaded with work and then nothing for days and I was supposed to sit around and wait for work to come in, back and forth it went. I also had problems getting responses to my questions and then when I would, they would respond in the snottiest tone in emails AND on the phone.

I liked my accounts at WEB, had steady work, steady income, occasionaly some difficult doctors and occasionally would have to wait a day or two for a response to an email I would send, but I really had no problems whatsoever.

I wouldn't have left WEB but when my family and I moved to another state, I happened upon a great local hospital job working at home.

Any info on Diskriter?

 Is there lots of work?  How is QA?  Are you on a "time clock", where they monitor your computer?  How are benefits?   Thanks    


Info on Diskriter
I have been with Diskriter since January, I haven't had a problem with work and benefits are good, especially when I think of what I was paying with my last employer, Diskriter just switched to Highmark Blue Cross which I am happy about!
Diskriter info...sm
I left DR after 3 months.  Platform is not easy (CareFlow) and sound is not always good.  You have to look at so many screens before you type, and look up names, or correct the shell, or go to your email and download names and instructions in PDF format that you will find you type 50% of the time and waste the other 50% of your shift looking up stuff and doing you email.  I don't care which account you are on, when the Account Manager of one account puts out a call for help to meet her TurnAroundTime, you account manager will lend you out, because missing TAT costs the company and the Account Manager money.  I did as many as 4 account in one day, and 3 was not unheard of.  I mean, they put you on an account with no instructions and you only know its a new or different account when you get the job and start emailing for help.  The MT is the least important member of the team to Diskriter.  A SmartSource account is working for a hospital with Diskriter managing it for the Hospital.  I have not done this so can't say if it is good or not.  I will only work for an hourly wage from now on, I need to know that the bread I put on the table is based on my hard work and not the whims of the docs who dictate, cause when you work by the line, when the doc has a bad day, YOU HAVE A BAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!  No more of those for me...
Diskriter info sm

Diskriter does pay for down-time, just got an email today that confirmed it on our account because we got caught up for the first time in months and had about an hour with low work load - supervisor said document the time, if your schedule doesn't allow you to make it up, then put down-time on timesheet and it will be paid.  They pay down-time for meetings too.  Whoever posted that, obviously has never had down-time or they would know it is paid, why else would there be a slot on the timesheet to document it? DUH!


I have looked elsewhere and never gotten any better offers with other companies.  There is always work (except for 1 hour this morning on the account I'm, which was just weird).  As far as their offshoring, it is minimal, they don't deny it and it is at clients request who don't want to pay for our work, but it is all QAd by Diskriter's U.S. MTs.


They are hiring PT because we need people nights and weekends and most people don't want those hours and that's all they can find is PT help for those hours.  If they could have staffed it with full-time, we wouldn't need more people now would we. 


Some of you people just don't know what your talking about that post here.  If you think they sound good, go for it, we would love to have you.


Diskriter info
Thanks for all the information, but I didn't mean to get anyone upset.  I have made my decision anyway and I am starting soon with Diskriter soon.  I guess I figure things out with them as I good.  Thanks again.

Diskriter...info please...sm
I am trying to decide whether to take a job with this Diskriter.  They have great benefits that I am looking for.  I have read both bad and good about them, but was looking for recent info on them.  If you could email me personally if you do not want to reply here I would greatly appreciate it.  I just want to know what I am getting into.  I know all companies have good and bad, but it is nice to know what to look out for and what questions to ask up front.  Thanks and hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Any Diskriter transcriptionists out there who work on the hem/onc account they are advertising on the job board?  Please e-mail with the following information:  How difficult is the account in regard to ESL dictators?  What is their starting rate for a very experienced hem/onc person?  What platform do they use?  Is it a good one or bad one?


I would appreciate any info you may have regarding these questions.  Thanks.

Any info on Diskriter? Other companies FT with bennies?
I keep seeing jobs for home-based MTs with hospital benefits, employed by the hospital system in Florida, etc. I'd sure appreciate if anyone could provide info on this company. I've love to be in a work situation like this again, but know nothing about the company. I'm sick and tired of MQ. Need a FT situation with good benefits and MQs are so expensive and I think the out of pocket is ridiculous compared to what I've always had in the past. Thanks so much.

Info on WebMedX???
looking for info on Webmedx
Can anyone give me any info about Webmedx and how they are to work for?
Webmedx info...

Hi,



I am currently looking into Webmedx and have a few questions for those of you that work for them:



1.  How do you keep track of you hours? Do you have to punch in on internet such as eTime?



2.  What is their software and how user friendly is it?



3.  How flexible are they with schedules? I understand you have a 12-hour window, how does that work?



4.  How is their pay, good, bad or same as other nationals? Do they base pay on experience? Do they give raises after an appropriate amount of time or do you have to beg for them?



I am sure I will think of more, but this is it for now.



Thanks!


Webmedx info
I have been working at Webmedx for the past 7 months.  They do tend to pay a little higher cpl for experience.  Training was okay - took longer to get released from my particular account than normal.  They tend to bend backwards for the clients (like bolding headings, VERY detailed account specs, etc).  Work has DRAMATICALLY decreased in the past 1.5 - 2 months!!!  Computer is kind of ancient - HUGE, old-fashioned monitor.  I don'T know where you heard that they watch your every move, because that is not true.  For the time I have been here, the only email I received was a generic email sent to everyone on my account asking where everyone was at - but nothing more than that.  Very flexible with your scheduling.  I would say a good amount of ESL - around 50-60% on my particular account.  I have been promised a third and fourth accounts and have yet to receive them.  I was also told that my account was going to VR the beginning of September but we have yet to switch.  The only real reason I am leaving is because the lack of work.  Hope that helps!
info on Amphion or Webmedx.
Work load?  Are they going VR?  Pay for clinic?  Do they supply computers? good, bad??
Webmedx-Latest info?
Any recent info on how they are to work for now?  Looking for steady workflow (understand seasonal slumps), is the insurance good/affordable, and what kind of time off do you get?  Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks!
Can anyone share any info on Webmedx?
Good, bad? I see that they have several openings currently, but I just want to make sure that they are a good company before I pursue anything with them. Do they pay on time? Do they treat their employees well? Can they be flexible if you ever need some time off? Also, do they frequently run out of work? Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website?  If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window.  Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted.  TIA.

Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
