I have three lines, all AT&T discounted for all three ULD
A lot of MTs don't have C-phones (nm)
/
Which companies still use C-phones?
TIA
Company that uses C-phones
A Transcriptionist who used to work for me just told me about your post. I use a call-in system that is accessed with a C-phone. My workload is a little light due to the doctors taking last-minute vacations, but if you want to contact me in a few weeks, it should pick up by then. I have a few surgery center accounts, pain clinics, and a plastic surgeon and am looking to pick up a few more accounts.

Ewww, still using c-phones...sm
Sound is HORRIBLE.
didn't know they could dial phones yet..sm
but they ARE pretty smart! Yeah i knew about dogs liking cat food, but you could chase my kitties around the block with dog foot. that's weird.
Sennheiser head phones
Love them. They are not as expensive as the Bose, but they are just as good. They are, however, a little more expensive than your average headphones. They are lightweight, noise cancelling, and very comfortable. I bought my on ebay last year and got a great deal.
they have accounts that require C-phones sm
and also accounts on high speed internet. Not every account is done on the same platform. Full time is 1200 lines per day/12000 pay period. Part-time (if they still hire part-time) is 600/6000. They offer insurance but I can't remember what it is. There is something through AFLAC but I think that might be disability or something.
You could hear from them down the road some time. They try their best to match you up with an account that matches your experience.
Why? I am an MT. I don't want to file or answer phones, and if they gave me something else to d
they would have to take the work from someone else. Why would they do that? MTs make a lot more than Med Rec clerks. Make the MTs take their PTO and pay the Med Rec clerks their lower wage. Not pretty but realistic.
Do they have any internet accts or are they all accessed with C-phones or Laniers? nm

I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run

Agree with this. And bring in your own noise-cancelling phones so you don't have to hear her. nm

Your foot pedal & phones are plugged into your tower like with any other program. Works just fine

At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,

Thanks for answering. nm

I see. Thank you for answering.
Some companies want their equipment rented from them. Some what a security deposit that is refundable.
The way some of the posts on this thread were reading, I wondered how the MTs were having to pay to work for the company.
I appreciate you answering.
Thanks SO much for answering. At least I know that the ... SM
platform has not changed yet. It's been a month since I left, and yes, it was only going to be a couple more weeks before the change-over to the CM platform. The account itself was not that bad, pretty good really, but what I really liked was getting the benefits. Not sure what to do right now. Thanks again for commenting on this for me.
I don't see them answering the
??
thanks for answering
i did see all of that later today.
THANKS FOR ANSWERING-nm

I appreciate your answering
No, not upset. I work on VR on Piedmont acct and love it. Like occasional straight typing but love the VR most of all. Thanks for the info. Do you have work most of the time or have you ran out?
Thanks for answering
The work is going ok so far. Very easy account, platform not really that bad - made 700+ lines in 5 hours on my 2nd day. The staff is much more courteous and respectful of an MT than the last place I worked. The QA person is friendly and not a rude hag like the last place. I also don't have to pay $25 to get my check and am a W2 employee. So far, so good...
Thanks for answering. NM

I was not answering you per se
but someone else who asked if this was normal. I am actually more lightened up than most on these boards as I can do transcription or not, my life does not depend on it anymore, thank the Lord.
I was answering the OP about sm
forums for KS if you will read. There are NO forums for Keystrokes employees. That is the only question I was answering. I told her I like Docuscribe as I have worked on it in the past. I have not worked on the Christus account and said that alos.
Read before you speak will ya?
I don’t know about answering this as I never
use the combination keys, only the mouse. Was told when I first started VR a few years ago had to use the mouse. I know this sounds strange but until then never used a mouse. I learned and then told should use the other keys. The VR I am on is really good, and yes when I need to correct something I take my hands off to fix with whatever needed but having said this, I could not edit any faster, no way using combination keys. Your audio only goes so fast and no amount of keys can get you faster.
I was answering below, but on this point SM
I am going to have to say it is going to be near-impossible for you to get paid that much per line AND work days. I do wish you luck though.
That bit about answering the IM's is especially amusing since
we are told ALL the time to use it for emergencies only. Guess you have a lot of those??
Thank you all below for answering! I will check into some of these just to see. nm
Thank you for answering the question
I am not the one who posted asking about information on Zylomed, but I was wondering about them because I have accepted a position with them. I just wanted to say thank you for your reply.
Thanks for answering. How long did
you stay? I didn't get any paycheck for work I did in November. Did get a few dollars in training pay 25 days later, but nothing since.
I was answering Colleen....
in the first place. If YOU wanted a specific answer then you should've asked, but I find YOU NM quite rude.
Thanks for answering my questions. (SM)
I felt the recruiter was being straight forward with me. She even gave me time to think things over before going on. All in all I feel she was being honest with me. I've decided to give them a try.
Thanks again for answering my questions and good luck to you also!!
Thank you very much for answering my questions. nm

I think she was just answering a question.

Why bother answering at all
if you are a no thanks?
WHAT PART OF WHO WOULD *SUPPORT*... was confusing?
:)
Thanks so much to both of you for answering my questions...
I have e-mailed you both.
And not only for transcribing, but answering their
It's not all it is cracked up to be and certainly not for everyone. There are more hours involved in administrative tasks with more clients, too. Make sure you are fully aware what you are getting into before jumping. Not saying that to discourage, just a friendly warning. It has its rewards, too, but trust me, you will work your tail off. Doctors work 24/7 and often expect the same of their business associates.
If you provide digital equipment, you'd better know it inside and out or have a good tech person on your payroll because the office will call you for help everytime there is a hiccup. Set forth your hours, rules, and extra charges for stat reports, faxes, copies of reports lost in their office, etc., ahead of time. Once you get a few clients, you may want to line up another MT or find someone you can subcontract to in the event of illness, vacation, etc., maybe trade favors with another MT with own clients.
I remember someone answering
I could be wrong, but the person actually e-mailed me with this company MxSecure. I then posted the company name for others since again it was one of those I e'd you kind of thing and others wanted to know as well about the company I was asking was flexible. Come to find out MxSecure I believe does require that you do a certain line count. I wanna say this was probably six months ago, but the poster got a little tiffed that the company name was posted. I only did it so others would know.
In the OP post, JP states the last time she put the company out there, no one used her as a referrall so she didn't get any money.
I don't know, I just have this weird feeling that it is the same person. I'm not sure though. I have no clue about MxSecure and never worked there.
Yes, Mommy. First, nobody at all was answering
as I hate it when my questions are ignored. Loads of people read it, but nobody answered, naturally until I did and expressed my opinion. Now, of course, the loyal defenders come on slashing any naysayers. As I said clearly, I had no personal experience, so silly to bash me on that one. Personally, I really like KS and the people I have personally spoken with at KS, but the no work situation was the big thing that kept me from accepting a position on more than 1 occasion. They admitted themselves that it could be a dellicate balancing act and they were very humble about learning so much in their huge succesful growth spurt. So, while you seem to refuse to admit the problem ever existed, your bosses admit it. I just unfortunately am not financially comfortable enough to be able to take the gamble and hang in for weeks or so until no work situations are corrected. So I weigh my employment choices on the known potential problems with a company and go from there, as I'm sure the OP was trying to do. But, yes, Mommy, this forum used to be famous for pages and pages of KS posts claiming no work. Whether they were really KS MTs, or pumpkins, or aliens from Pluto, I have no clue. I simply shared with the original poster that there used to be boatloads of posts on this particular issue and I was honest that I had no personal experience. Glad you have too much work. Go get 'em!
Thanks for answering my questions
I'm only looking for SE status right now. Just something to keep me busy if my regular account gets slow. The line rate is certainly decent, especially for employee status. Thank you again for the info. If I ever decide to go employee status, I'll definitely check them out.
thank you all for answering my post.
MDI-MD does sound like they treat you good. I am thinking of just up and quitting my present company who i have been with for almost 10 years. the last few have been quite challenging and continues to go that way so I do not think if i have the energy to work both just to see how well it goes. Thanks again.
I started out at the top before you answering
the person who wanted to know about TTS. You came in after me. I do not know what you are talking about. You do not work for the company, like where you are, good hours, no weekends with you. What is the issue now?
Since you are answering honestly, I am
asking honestly why your company has to deal with offshore support/upload team. I have never really heard an honest answer from a company. Is the bottom line price? I am very interested in honestly knowing what goes on behind the doors of these MTSOs. Thanks for your honesty.
Are they not answering the phone in their office?!! nm
s
No fair answering this way. What are your reasons?
nm
You're the one answering, honey. LOL
nm
I think nobody is answering because of the word *decent*...LOL
nm
Thanks for FINALLY answering the question
.
Thanks for answering - I am familiar with Bayscribe(sm)
as I worked for MDI-MD for about 3 months. You are right about no platform being perfect. Do you have a smaller amount of doctors? To me, that is luxury!! If I never saw (rather heard) another ESL that would make me really happy!! Best of luck! Keep me posted
