Midwest where? Not Michigan, I can tell you that.

Posted By: Over 60-70% South Asian ESLs w/ my... on 2006-02-05
In Reply to: No ESL's? Maybe a clinic, but never a hosp or MTSO. - sm

new Michigan MTSO ... and I'm just going to have to be moving on ASAP.  This particular accent is just about as bad, if not worse, than Eastern European for me.  And this is just way too high a percentage for me to deal with. 


Danged if I know where you can go to find fewer, but I'm going to be asking about that pointblank from now on, however negatively doing so will impact my job opportunities.  I mean more than 25-30% ESLs is just beyond ridiculous, IMO. More power to those of you who can and will do more than that.  I'm sure you deserve a lot more than whatever you're being paid.

I am originally from the midwest, headed back after 20+ years in Florida. Bought a house 1 year ago and recently sold it for more than double what I paid for it. The housing prices just keep going up, especially in the populated areas, i.e, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach.

Midwest MT is right
Definitely try a local doctor's office or local MTSO. I work as an employee for nephrologists and I don't have to type a minimum number of lines. I type whatever work I have for any given day and when I'm done, I'm done.
midwest here....
and only 3 reports today! Nothing on my accounts at all. This is insane. I have applied to a few other places. I can understand it getting low, but I have to pay bills somehow and this isn't going to work.
Mediscript in Midwest
Any information, good or bad on this company?
I got the same call - F from midwest here.
I just don't understand why they are so concerned that we received that flipping letter, despite the fact that it doesn't really say anything.

They also have a pdf of it on Qnet somewhere. I have messed around with the "rewards" section on Qnet and that HEAT thing seems to be some kind of outsourced help desk. Wonder what that's all about?
Re: Midwest housing
Well, it definitely takes two incomes to live in the Bay Area, unless one person makes $100,000 or more. I think we pay for the weather (voted best in the country, believe it or not) and the ambiance (sp ?). I always say if your family is close-knit, then live near your family if you can, as we do. My husband and I have talked about relocating to Florida and other states, but we would rather deal with earthquakes than hurricanes, tornadoes, and/or snow storms. We'll probably cry a different tune when the next big quake hits!!

Midwest Transcription Services
Does anyone know anything about this company, good to work for, steady work, pay on time, etc? 
Anybody else on new TT account (midwest area)
I received some instruction sheets on the new account, but it's only the second acct I've done, and the demographic instructions are much different and I haven't gotten any feedback yet on all the things I'm probably doing wrong. Have e-mailed and no answers yet. Anybody on this acct and have time to answer questions by e-mail? Am I the only clueless one?

midwest transcription services....
does anyone know how they count their lines? 
Still in honeymoon phase, midwest. You might not
have been at this for a much, much longer time and will be able to help you once you do hit snags in the road. And you will. It is NOT being negative, it's being honest. I do not believe in portraying being an MTSO as the answer to all problems, either, because it's not for everyone. I worked long, LONG days as an MTSO with several clients and couldn't keep subcontractors despite paying well and pretty easy clinic work. I was stressed to the max and had zero time for myself or my family. Negative, you bet! At least it grew to be negative FOR ME, which is why I don't do it anymore. If it works for you, fantastic, but don't act like just because it doesn't work for others that makes them wrong somehow. This is about sharing experiences and everyone has a different one.

I found a great MTSO to work for now, I'm treated well and make as much as I did as an MTSO once I subtract all the free hours I worked, supplies bought, gas spent on errands, etc., etc. I'm a much happier person as a result, plus I actually get to be with my family-and without guilt that I should really be working! Like I and others have stated, it's not all goodness and light.

Not all MTSOs are terrible to work for and not all MTs are cut out to be MTSOs, and that's a fact.
Midwest Medical Transcription Services
I don't know if this is going to post in the correct spot, I have never tried to post anything before.  Does anyone have any information on Midwest Medical Transcription Services LLC in  Wisconsin?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
I work at home and I live in the Midwest.
You have to consider the job market and cost of living in your area of the country.  I think I'm doing pretty darn good.  If I factor in the incentive pay, I'm making around $35 per hour.
Midwest Transcription? Anyone know of this company. Cannot access archives. TIA. nm
nm
to long time MT - the cost of living is about the same as the midwest - sm
you can have rent ranging anywhere from $500-900/month depending on where you live and what you want. It's not expensive like NY or DC or VA. The line rate is ABOVE - A-B-O-V-E 8.5/line and the docs are fairly easy with the exception of a few marblemouths, but I think every hospital has to have a few marblemouths, or it just wouldn't be right. If you are seriously thinking of it and would like to send us a resume, let us know your email and we will contact you!

We posted this because we wanted to know our options - rather than to have an outside service take the overflow.
See post below about noncompliant MTSO - this pretty much sums up Midwest - nm

I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n

to Michigan MT
They offered me an amount and that was what they said they paid no matter what account you are on. I don't know how they work out their pay either but it sure isn't fair to the folks who have been there longer and have more than 10 years experience.
Michigan. .
SO SORRY!! I have several relatives in Michigan who have all lost jobs or drastically reduced: A mechanical engineer, home builder/grape farmer(s) and one at Pfizer who is just waiting for layoffs . .they are making wonderful pet meds now at Pfizer in Kazoo, MI
where in Michigan?
I work in Petoskey and live in Cheboygan.
Is that in MIchigan?

If it's based out of Michigan then it's the company that actually runs the on line program I took, as well as being a transcription service.  The online program was pretty good - it got me working right away.  It was learntranscription.com


The people that I dealt with were nice and they always looked at their own graduates to hire, so they were willing to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.


 


Another in Michigan

Dictation By Phone, were in Berkley, Michigan.  No pay, pays late, or checks bounce if they do pay.


 


In Michigan it's Michigan.gov
and Click on employment.  I would look at your state's offical web site and see what you can find.  You can also call or visit your local state unemployment office. That's who handles the program in Michigan.  They do the testing and help you apply for the funding, etc.

rxtranscription from Michigan

Anyone know anything about rxtranscription, LLC, from Michigan?   Looking to test with them later this week. 



Supercript out of Michigan
Does anyone currently work for Supercript out of Michigan or have worked for them before?  I have been offered a position with them and need to make a decision.  Are they good to work for, pay on time, etc.  Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
You have to be in Michigan for starters. sm
Preferably the west side of the state as you have one day of training at their home office in Cadillac. They provide everything you need including the computer. They use Vianeta and their tech support people are great. They give you a mentor to start with and expect you to be off corrections within a week or two. And they always answer emails and/or phone calls.
Hope this helps.

Anyone working for them now or anyone that has worked for them in the past, I'm considering working for them, but would like some info first - anything - the good, bad and the ugly.  Thanks so much!

Cool. Good to know. Where in Michigan are you? nm

I live in Michigan and they were going to pass that s/m
but it got vetoed.  They didn't call it a sales tax so much as a service tax.  You should check with the state that you live in, try your official state web site for info.
