Medgarde info?

Hi! I'm just wondering if there is anybody who works or has worked with Medgarde. I have an interview with them on Thursday and am trying to find out more about them, but I'm not having much luck.

If anyone has any info I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about a company called MedGarde? I found them on a Google search and I'm looking for work but I want to know if their a good company to work for. Thanks!

The accounts I worked on were for surgery centers.  I also did psychiatric reports.  Did a lot of ortho reports, ophthalmology, and endoscopy.  They really don't bother you as long as you get the work in on time--very adamant about that or you could be docked.   You are not in a pool.  You get a primary account and backup accounts to learn a set of dictators. 

Turnaround times are:

Monday up to 5 p.m.   due back 8 a.m. Tuesday

Tues up to 5 p.m. due back 8 a.m. Wednesday  and so on until Friday up 5 p.m. due back on Monday by 8 a.m., anytime on Saturday is due back Tuesday at 8 a.m. and Sunday anytime is due back Tuesday by 8 a.m.

Pay scale

0001-2000  at 7 cents a line

2001-4000 at 8 cents a line

4001-6000 at 9 cents a line

6000 or more at 10 cents a line

Payroll is every week. 

All of this is without spaces.  They use line count in MS Word to count divided by 65 without spaces, so you will know exactly what you make for that pay period before it gets to up.  Everyone is IC.  Also, they go strictly by the contract you signed.  Read it carefully because they adhere to it.  I really like them. 

FYI this is an Indian company.

Any and all information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

is, Oh my word! That was a doozy!  I'm pretty sure I didn't pass that test.  Oh well, back to the drawing board! 

Just Me

I read that someone on here was hired by MedGarde, went to their website and it just seems too good to be true.  They ask questions like, can you commit to 30 minutes of transcribing per day?  They offer a flexible schedule, and the test consists of 3 one-minute dictations.   

Are these people real?  Or was the raving-with-happiness post on here a come-on con thing?

confused about turnaround time because I am reading up to 5 pm due 8 am.  What does that mean?  I will be getting work in up til 5 pm so at 5 pm if I am still getting work in I have to have that back at 8 the next day?  At 3 pm no later I am done for the day so please explain.  Thanks

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

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.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.
