PHILIS KORTGARD OF ARIZONA DOES NOT PAY

Posted By: MT Advocate on 2008-07-11
In Reply to:

Just wanted to update that the final pay due my friend was AGAIN issued in a FRAUDULENT check.


If anyone sees an ad with Philis Kortgard of Arizona, I strongly urge you to recall the experience of my friend.   After spending a day trying to just communicate with PHILIS KORTGARD OF ARIZONA, my friend was told that the check is no good (uh duh she already knew that) and that it might be good next week.  And that if my friend thinks she has it bad, PHILIS KORTGARD feels she has it worse.  I wonder if the 2 young boys waiting on groceries to be purchased with this money will care if PHILIS KORTGARD is unhappy?

Philis Kortgard

Need Help! Had anyone out there had any dealings with Philis Kortgard in Surprise, Arizona?


RE: Philis Kortlandt Company

I wanted to correct my post re this service owner.  She *does* pay, just on her own timeline.  My friend was finally paid but it took until the next pay period for the check to arrive. 


I still think MTs need to stay on MTSOs who have shady pay practices!


DDT - Arizona?
Anyone hear of the company DDT out of Arizona?  I could not find a website or anything about them in the archives.  Any info would be much appreciated.  Thanks
DDT in Arizona

No, Arizona. nm

mayo in Arizona too
There are two Mayo clinics in the Phoenix, AZ area as well and I believe there is one in Florida too. Phoenix is a really large city these days. If you can stand the head of summer (4-6 months =  it varies from year to year) the rest of the year the weather is wonderful!!!!
Would this be the Texas or the Arizona MedTrans? Thx. nm

Tammy Arizona - New at Webmedx
Tammy,

As a former trainer at Webmedx (I retired) I must tell you that you are incorrect about typing in a web page. You are typing in Word, even though it may not appear that way.

As far as SHORTHAND, what exactly are you doing when it doesn't work? There are reasons for SH not working and there are very simple fixes built into the SH program. I was the SH instructor so, yes, I do know that it is not the program but rather something the MT does.

I own my own SH program and still use it daily, not just for transcribing. Try setting your Pause (under Preferences) to 20 msec after every 1 character and see if the helps you. You might also check to see what Text Transfer Method you are using, if you are using Clipboard Paste try switching to “keystrokes” although a little slower “pulling in” it is smoother and works every time.

Also, do you have physician normals in your SH program? By putting normals in you can definitely increase your line production.

Do you have regular phrases and all your medications in your SH? If you put in medications, did you also put in the dosing (where possible)?

I would hate to see anyone leave Webmedx. I understand ESLs are difficult - but after a while and with the use of the SH program one can go right along.

Further, if you are having problems getting your line count to 150 LPH (which I voted against but lost - I like 130-140 LPH) have you asked either trainer for help? The trainers are great and they are there long after you have finished your initial training to assist you in any way they can.

I hope you decide to stay!

PS: IMHO three weeks is not a fair trial/assessment - give it about 3 months at minimum.

Don't even think of working for Atypical Transcription in Arizona

For your own protection do not even think of working for Atypical Transcription in Arizona.  She does NOT pay.  What a jerk.


Trans Tech has an Arizona account

It's twu!  It's twu!  Good doctors and good lines.  Go for it.


Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Arizona
I have been thinking of moving to Arizona for a year or so and wanted to work as an MT at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.  Are they outsourcing all their work now?  I read some old messages on this board saying the Arizona clinic outsourced some work, but it didn't seem like it was much.  I don't see the MT position open on their web page anymore and wonder if they have filled all positions or are completely outsourcing.  Anyone know? 
Has anyone worked for AAPT out of Arizona? Any information? nm
