location
Are you not at liberty to say where in the NE this is located? I love the NE area and so does my husband. But relocating would involve selling a house, which might take some time.
Location
The company I originally posted about is TAIB out of Maine.  She still has never contacted me.  I just think this is so strange.
location
A Stat Transcription Service is in Port Orange, FL
location of TTD, Inc.
I did an Internet scan and what came up was Tollhouse, CA. Is this correct, or is there another location for this company?
not sure about location, but

this is what was written at the top of the info packet:


 


DIT Transcription is a Christian based business that was started approximately eight years ago.  During that time, we have had tremendous growth which continues today.  Our services have been tested and proven to be 100% HIPAA compliant by some of the largest health care systems in the Southeast.  We are adding clinics constantly, and therefore we are also adding independent contracting transcriptionists constantly. 


 


 


 


Location of CMC
They are out of Charlotte, NC - CMC stands for Carolinas Medical Center.
I think when you have someone who likes
their co that that does not mean they are a cheerleader. I would think they are in a better position of judgment that someone who does not work there.

People are much more willing to listen if someone has facts to go with a statement. The OP did not give one fact in this thread that backed up the claim of dishonesty
Not everybody likes to job hop. We have every right sm
and are wise, to judge a company by what we read about it, what they offer, before we bother with them.  Most people like to find a good company and stay there.  This one just seems way to sketchy to me, and their line rate and incentive plan, regardless of what other posters may say, is really low.  They charge rental for equipment, too, with is definitely a no-no in my book.  If they want you to use their equipment, they charge a deposit, but not a rental fee.
CorTMedical location
I went back to the website and saw they were close to Dayton..but would still like to know about bennies and cpl (ballpark)
New York location
I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.
Is this the NJ or the Oregon location? nm

They also track your location

because you cannot post anonymously anymore.  If you are using a proxy site you cannot post. 


Big Brother MTSO.


How did you find out which location? I
x
finding the location
it must have been when either I was googling it, or using a list someone posted here about non offshoring companies, and clicked there. Honestly don't remember and can't find it myself again...
I just came on here and it seems absolutely no one likes their job at all

I personally work for a great company that does a lot for its' MTs and is consistently bashed on this board.  I do note, however, that almost every company is spoken about in a negative manner.  Is this a board where people just come and vent frustrations?  If so, I will not be visiting it anymore.


Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.


Nobody likes offshoring, but it's not going to go away.
You are only hurting yourself if you refuse to work for companies that offshore. If they can't get Americans to work for them, they are only going to offshore even more.
I am not going to argue with the likes sm
of you. Your word structure doesn't even sound like you are from this country. If not, you don't even belong on this board. Oh but I forgot, Why should this be?
No, it is in a different location. I applied at Lanier once, also. sm
MedQ is on Century Blvd.
Hi, believe this is the Oregon location...have experience there?? thanx.....nm

Maybe she works, gets paid and likes her job
Did you ever think that Wilma puts in her time, gets paid and enjoys what she does?   I know I do.
Had contact with someone there recently who likes it, but they still don't have DD. nm
s
It likes to omit things too!

When I do a high-maintenance VR report (lots of corrections, dictator go-backs and formatting crap), I sometimes feel like this


On guard!


Or even worse, like this   or .  Rarely do I feel this way  unless its one of the rare well-trained work types/dictators that ends up in my queue of over 125 dictators on the account.


MTSOs GET A CLUE!!!  NO ONE LIKES HIGH MAINTENANCE!!!  If it's high maintenance it should be serviced accordingly (i.e. higher pay).


Not a nut. Happen to know someone likes slots.
A LOT.  Too much.  Keep slaving away for her, it's going into every slot machine in the country.
Because of their location on the west side of the Hudson,
expecially if you have to pay the per minute fee just to call the other side of that stickin' river! I never understood the phone company's rationale in that rip off!
They can't route you to where you need to be unless you know company and location specifics, sm
which obviously she does not know because she isn't an employee there yet. She stated she is just wanting an idea. How many insurance companies have you called? I used to do billing and I can tell you we had to have the insurance card and/or EOB in hand to know all the correct numbers to call based on the patient's specific policy details.
Which large account? Initials or location? nm

Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.

JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs.  TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work. 
Dunno.... the powers that be spawned the likes of
I can think of some foreign countries that might harbor server-crashers.
Got a location for them? A web site? Initials aren't familiar. nm
s
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

Focus likes to get these little holes in the wall and then kill them.
look at STP and oh heck, what is that other one that wanted me - Lartech - that's just 2 of them.
yes, justme, please save us from wasting our time on the likes of YOU!
stay home and type your 50 lines an hour and have a twinkie on me.
Poll on ChartScript- Would you mind telling your likes and dislikes? nm
nm
Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,
s
Too funny - whenever someone likes their company or accounts, someone has to say "this person is
There are good and bad things about most companies. I'm just saying what I personally find to be true for this company. Take it or leave it.
A contact says she likes it, sound is good, but you have to use autocorrect/text, no other expander
s
May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
going by the address in Clearwater - it's a pretty crappy crappy location
so it kind of makes me wonder what the company is like! I know that location shouldn't really matter, but let's be realistic - there are TONS OF PLACES in Clearwater with office space to rent, but judging by the address, I am pretty sure this is out of an apartment or house. Not that that should make a difference,
Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original
nm
Not everyone likes their boss. You do not have to like your boss to like sm
your job.  You don't even always like your job but like the money.  It is about personal preference.
Not that poster but

why was she rude?  I didnt see anything rude in her post.  So she got more lines than you, how is that rude?  I work at Transcend also and I got my lines in that I usually get.  I had to type a different shift of course.  I work different times of the day when it is slow and I always manage to make it. 


Also, the email that was sent out I think was very considerate.  Any other company, when slow ( and they ALL get slow), just slows down with no explanations, reassurances, or care. 


That's not what the poster said. Poster said
If the poster was hired at 8 cpl last year and makes 13,001 lines to qualify for the incentive (0.0025 cpl at 13,001 lines) that means the poster only makes 1072.58.  But the MTs hired after Nov. 1 at 10 cpl makes 1100.00 for only producing 11,000 lines.   Tell you what, that would freak me out if I just got hired there.  Because no matter when you get hired, in a few short weeks or months you're just the old worn out mare to them. 
Are you the same poster as below?
I appreciate your comments about new accounts coming on board in January and June. That is very likely.

The MTs here who are sobbing, as you say, and cannot have it both ways ARE the ones who did keep a fairly regular schedule and did for years, and now for the last couple months the rug has been pulled up from under them.
To the poster(s) below who is/are asking
about TransHealth, I am the one who answered your questions and got flamed for being honest.  This is exactly why I said before I will never put why I hated a company again.  I have no reason to lie, but just believe me when I say it is definitely in your best interest(s) to stay away from this company. They are the absolute worst out there and that is saying something!!
Not that poster, but I know what he/she SM

is saying because I have worked with a number of people over the years who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that they were the best transcriptionists and in fact they were terrible!  Usually they had a bunch of years in, but they had limited value - like typing only 1 type of work or had only worked at 3 little rural hospitals, like that.  They functioned well as long as the dictator was American and spoke at a normal rate of speed but they would never be able to do the kind of work a normal transcription service has.


 


Not the poster above, but that's how I met this
person. I had a problem and posted about it on this very board, and this person was so kind and caring and helpful. Nothing to do with a job - but with med transcription. She has been a mentor AND friend to many, many MTs for no financial gain whatsoever at all - thus anyone even bothering to post in her defense, let alone know who she is. She got nothing out of me, had nothing to gain from helping me - just went out of her way to help me, and I know has done the same for others. A really nice and professional MT - one who wants to help others newer to the field, etc. I don't see her post here anymore for a long time, and I just pray that she does not read the boards either. Really an all time low for MTs to post personal attacks on a person - I'm sure Admin isn't aware of it, or this whole thread would be in the trash where it belongs.
I think the poster was asking
what companies require you to use an FTP site to download your dictation files and send them back. I understand what you mean, but the company I work for does not require MTs to use an FTP site. I could be wrong, but I think that is what the OP was referring to.
this may be the same poster over and
over again. Diskriter has a huge turnover. H-U-G-E, both inside the main office and with transcriptionists. I couldn't take it any more. I was jumped from one account to another to another. I was told to work weekends and when I would work the weekend, I sometimes would not have any work. I actually made $23.00 one weekend after an 8 hour shift. I was fuming! They supposedly had all this work, but I certainly wasn't getting any.

I should state that I have been a Transcriptionist for 12 years, so it's not the quality of my work or lack of experience. When I first started with Diskriter, I was making my line count and my pay was not that great, but I figured I would stick with it. It just got worse. I left. I'm sure everyone has a different experience with them.
