PLEASE serach the archives for Meridian. I worked there...sm
very mismanaged. They manager is extremely demeaning and rude when she is not having a good day. There are so many other places out there that will treat you better. I mean this in all honesty.

It was horrid! The transcription manager was so demeaning and extremely unprofessional. They micro manage, and my lines never seemed to be correct. The manager would YELL at people both over the phone and in her office with her door open (when I was training in-house). Just my experience, but there are many better places. I am at Webmedx now, and the two companies could not be any different. Good luck!!
Any info on Meridian HCS, sm

Before I go further into the hiring process with this company...  anyone have any experience with them?  I asked for the web site address so I could check them out, but I was told that it was down for the next 2 weeks.  Also, they sent a packet that talked at great length about patient and MD demographics that I would be responsible for.  I have never worked for a national company and not sure if this sounds okay.  Thanks.


Any current info on Transform and Meridian? Considering both. NM

Does anyone have any information or ever worked for Meridian Health Care Solutions as an MT?  Any info will be available.  Thanks

Anyone care to share info on Meridian HealthCare Solutions?
Is it a good company to work for.  How is the software, is it user-friendly, how is the response from tech, supervisors, QA, etc.    Thanks
There is a bit info on them in the archives.

There is a ton of info in the archives
use the 'google' search box...not the other one. Here is the link (copy and paste into your address bar):
http://www.google.com/custom?domains=forum.mtstars.com&q=northeast+transcription&sa=Search&sitesearch=forum.mtstars.com&client=pub-7429411943264266&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BLH%3A50%3BLW%3A154%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.mtstars.com%2Fpicts%2Flogo.gif%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.MTStars.com%3BFORID%3A1%3B&hl=en
There's info in the archives
When I was hired, they said they paid for spaces. First check comes and was about $300 short. When I called them, they said they never said they paid for spaces. That was a lie.

When the payroll person went on vacation for 2 weeks, we had to wait until she came back to get paid.

I've also read on the boards from other MTs that the husband can be very unprofessional when faced with having to deal with any issues their MTs may have with their company, going as far as calling names and throwing insults.

Just giving you info. It's up to you, of course, whether you want to risk trying them out or not.
Tons of info about them in the archives.
They ran an ad a few weeks ago and supposedly got 500 resumes.  It seems they are constantly hiring, don't know if new accounts or turnover.   Some people seem very loyal and love it, lots of others have had problems. 
Any info on D&L? Can't find them in the archives. TIA. nm
nm
Lots of info in the archives. nm
 
Lots of info in the archives. nm
 
All Type, Inc. any info? archives of NO help
TIA!
I am looking for any info on MD IT. I have searched the archives and
nothing comes up at all. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Any info about p.r.n. Transcription? Nothing in the archives. Thanks. :) nm

Lots of info on all in the archives.
SS is a horrible company.  They are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't the reason.  I don't think Keystrokes hires for PT. 
I like them. Do a search of archives...plenty of info.
.
Search the archives, lots of info on them.
 
search archives for more detailed info (sm)
I've had a great experience with WebMedX - lots of work, great pay, cool people, nothing to complain about at all.

Go to the bottom of this page and search the archives, hit Control-F for Find and type in WebMedX and you'll find a lot more information and opinions.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
 
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
all OSI info is old in archives. Anything recent good/bad?

mostly -- are the lines an absolute bear to get; i.e., will I have to work 12 hours a day to get 1000 lines?  Or do they seem fairly fair won?


 


Thanks


Any info on AllType? Search archives, but no
I see they have several ads posted, but I've not seen any info pro or con on them. 
Lots of info in the archives. Seems to be a mass
exodus going on. 
Current info about Axolotl in archives, never
heard of the other company.  Axolotl is not currently hiring, has no work on multiple accounts, though they do pay for downtime.  Fixing to start transition to natural speech, most would call it VR.  Pay is better than most currently, good benefits, great company.  Work has been low for 3-4 months, but is worse lately.  They provide all software/hardware, good tech support 24/7. 
The archives are your friend for info on companies...
.
Check archives, plenty of info.

could not find anything in archives regarding "All Type". Anyone have info on.....

Do they only hire employees, or IC's also:  What platform do they use:  Are they a good company to work for?


Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.


RE: could not find anything in archives regarding "All Type". Anyone have info on.....
From their web site: At ALL TYPE, our goal is to recruit and retain the very best medical transcriptionists. We would like you to consider joining us. If you qualify, you would be a welcome part of our team of highly trained Medical Transcriptionists (MTs). ALL TYPE transcriptionists enjoy the flexibility of being in an at-home environment as full-time employees or if you prefer, as independent contractors. Our staff retention rate is high for good reason.Our MTs say they have never worked in a happier group or for a company that attended to their issues in such a responsive way. As a matter of fact, many of our new MTs are referrals from our existing MT staff. See what our people say....(click here)

We pay our MTs highly competitive rates.
You have the opportunity for career advancement.
You'll use cutting-edge technology.

6.  Email communication timely? 


7.  Is hiring process drawn out?


8.  Equipment arrive in timely fashion?

Searched archives and cannot find info on MedScript Services, Inc. and Inscribe software...sm
They are also on the web as MedScript Services, Inc. I think that they're based in Naples, Florida. I also believe that they use a platform called INSCRIBE. Any comments on the software or company?
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information.  This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.  
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm

Meridian
Okay, I've checked the archives on this company and I am coming up with both good and bad.  They've offered me a job and the pay is more than anybody else has offered. What does anybody know about their internet-based platform called Med Write (spelling?) XL?  Please tell me what you know and help me make an informed decision.  Thanks to you all for your input.
Meridian HCS
How is this company to work for?  Do they have good benefits, pay, dictators?  How is the management and communication?
Meridian
I worked for them for a short time and it was awful. The accounts were not as wonderful as they made them out to be and if you don't do exactly what they ask, they get nasty with you. I say keep looking.
Meridian
Well, I have been here a few months and I honestly love it. Everyone is helpful and yes they are a bit picky, but it has been a great learning experience. Yes, work is slow in the beginning on the 5-report system, but it worked out great for me. To each her own ...
