NetMed must have changed a lot in 5 years. sm

In Reply to: careful with this one - exNM

I worked for them for 3-4 months. We were not a good fit for each other. I was having a hard time meeting QA. That said, I thought they were good to work for. They bent over backwards to help me get with the program. I never had any trouble with getting help for any problems and the tech people were great at getting back to you with answers. My mentor gal was great too.

But that was just my experience.

Yes. I think they just changed it to 3 years. nm

I too have loved MDI for years now but something has definitely changed..sm
I have always had plenty of work and suddenly little to none. Very frustrating especially when emails trying to get answers or resolve the problem result in nothing. Up until now I have had no complaints but I can't live on what I am able to barely make now.
Radiology has advanced so much in the last few years even that it has changed a LOT.

She has been told this for years now. Hasn't changed.
You would be shocked at how many MTs have left them.  Amazingly they keep finding others to hire.  Sad, sad, sad.
I have been there 5 years. What changed? They stopped catering to sm
employees who walked all over them and started recognizing those of us that do a good job. They took away ICs and made people accountable for their commitments. They added benefits, added direct deposit, got a bigger office, added more staff in the office, and continued to grow.

I honestly believe that it was a very few people who were saying the negative comments but they were loud and had time on their hands.

They then moved to another company and decided to bash them, then another company and bash them, and so on. There are some people that never are happy and those that are let go tend to be the nasty ones on the boards.

The only problem I ever had was one check 4 years ago but direct deposit solved all that.

I think the owner let go a little where needed and stopped taking it all so personally. She is a tough one now but still nice, if that makes sense, just doesn't take cr*p from everyone.
You're welcome. As I said, this was 5 years ago or so. Things could have changed. sm

I would just be careful.  They used to have a woman in the office named Crystal.  I would call and tell her I had run out of work, and she would just laugh and tell me to take the day off!  How nice ... except that I needed the money.  In all fairness, though, I am sure they could not have stayed in business and kept employees if they kept on that way.  I read awhile back that if you pay $20 each check or something like that that they will Fed Ex your check to you, so maybe they are trying, although I don't think you should have to pay for it. 


Good luck in finding something.  I know what it is like to be the sole source of income. 


The owners haven't changed, MT supe hasn't changed
I've been in their office. I know the people. It is a sweat shop and you will never be paid a decent amount or get respect. You won't know which is a good or a bad day for the person you report to until you literally get yelled at.

They have to offer bonuses because their reputation is that bad and nothing has changed. You may get work that has been recorded 3 times from some of the worst accounts you could ever imagine. They take accounts no one else will touch. That hasn't changed.
They changed buildings so maybe the phone number also changed...
They are still going strong...
NetMed
No, they do not charge rental for equipment.

Anyone have any information regarding NetMed out of Cadillac, Michigan. Thanks.
Netmed

There have been good comments on the boards about them, and they have only IC positions.  That's all I know..


NetMed?
any info on them? Much appreciated.
NetMed
The pay is not that good, 7.5 cpl the last I knew. You have to train in Cadillac, Michigan if you live in Michigan. Don't know if they hire out of state, last I knew they didn't.
Netmed
Yes, IC  and pay is on time, or at least was.
NetMed
Yes, I have heard of them.
Netmed
I worked for NetMed for a short time. Unfortunately I was looking for part-time work and it just wasn't working out (too hard to keep up with two full time jobs). Everyone in the company seemed very nice and I never had a problem with getting paid. I wish things would have worked out, I really enjoyed working for NetMed the short time I did.
NetMed
Did anyone apply for the hem/onc opening for this company?  If so, have you heard back from them.  I immediately sent them my resume (have over 10 years MT exp.) but have heard nothing back.  Curious to know if anyone else has heard back.  Thanks for sharing.
NetMed
I applied. Not really looking for work, but I do Hem/Onc and was interested in seeing what the pay scale was. No reply as of yet.
NetMed
Here is the ad: NetMed Transcription has an immediate need for 2 MT's that have experience in Hematology/Oncology. All english speeking doctors. Sofware provided.

I see no mention of 8 cents per line.
NetMed
Has anyone applied to this company that has an ad on Job Board?  It says to send them an email...no email addy is listed with posting so I went on Google and searched for the company, sent my resume directly to them (or so I thought) then a few minutes later I get an email that says it is an undeliverable address!  What's up with that?  How are we supposed to send a resume when that happens?  Is it a legitimate ad or not?????
NetMed
Actually, I did send my resume where it says Apply but I always like to send it via email as well because so many companies state they sometimes do not receive the ones sent via the site.
NetMed
The e-mail address on my previous post does not work.
regarding NetMed
I work for NetMed. Plenty of work. Flexible. You are assigned your own doctors. Work is due in 24 hours from the time it goes into your cue.
NetMed in MI? Very few comments here. sm
I'm checking out a handful of companies. Don't need health insurance, but trying to find a good match with full time M-F work, preferably assigned accounts. 20+ years MT experience. Love the small company I presently work for, but not quite enough work for me (I have really high line counts some days, but other days are terrible with shortage of work) Unfortunately, the docs from the teaching hospitals have a very inconsistent dictation load, and my income is being affected by this, thus I am pursuing a different company. Thanks for any input.

I run NetMed and I am just trying to find out what the opinion out there is our the company.  We have never missed paying an invoice to an MT and all the MT's are US based.  Please let me know if you have heard anything positive or negative.


Thanks


I worked at NetMed for a while too. sm
I worked there for maybe 2 months but it just did not work out. The people there were very nice and I never had a problem with being paid. If I had computer problems, there was always somebody who would call back right away. They also have a mentoring program too. But I thought they used Vianetta or something like that. Either way, I enjoyed working for them. I would recommend them to anybody.
any info on NetMed?
Can't find much about it.  Thanks!
netmed workers
I tested for the company called Net Med Transcription and was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and if they like, dislike them?
Is anyone familiar with NetMed?
I am trying to find out if anyone knows anything about NetMed.  Are they US based?  Good or bad experience, etc.  Thanks

They seem to have changed since I did..
I worked for them 6 years ago. I was an employee, I see now on their website they only hire ICs. I was very happy with them, basically could work when I wanted as long as the reports were back when due. However, they somehow decided that their pay scale was unfair to new hires, so those of us who had been there, got knocked down to the new hire scale and everyone basically had to start from scratch to level the playing field. I quit shortly after, was not going to take a pay cut. I believe at this same time they also started sending some stuff offshore, not something I was ready to deal with. If they still have the same owners (I think the guys name was Ed), I found him to be very rude and only interested in himself and his $$. I believe about 6 of us all quit at the same time because they downright rude. I am now with a big national and making about double what I did with Accutype because of better systems and support.
So nothing has changed...
Thanks for the headsup guys. I passed the test with them and received an email, but I guess nothing has changed from past posts.

Thanks again
I see nothing has changed in the last
year since I left MDI. This is exactly how they operate on every level. A lot of people don't mind but I stayed for way to long and have a much better position now without all the drama from MDI! Good luck to you.
Pay Changed
I also agree that you should not take the job, but if they did offer to come up to the original offer I would still not take it. In my mind, this is a either a very unorganized company or a manipulative company and either way it is unlikely things would change once actually working for them.
Must have changed
Their training period used to be for 4 weeks--it must have changed within the last year.
Unless it has changed
you get paid for training what you will be paid for when out of training.
i changed this yr from emp to IC (SE)
left the Q for another job...and i'd have to suggest job #2. I have been an employee for several decades, and wish i would have found the joy and freedom of being an IC-type years ago. I have my medical insurance through BC/BS of my state, and do that so i am free to change jobs if i want to. I get a little higher deductible and the premium is not so bad. As far as a computer, i decided to have a backup for my desktop and just yesterday purchased a laptop online from Circuit City (sale goes off today) for a toshiba A215-S4697, $600 (includes printer/wireless router/security software). That's less than half of what i invested in my desktop. Maybe that would be of interest to you? Feel free to e/m me if i can be of any further help. Either way, good luck!!
