To Carol B. below: Most of what MT's post
on this board about companies they previously worked for, or STILL WORK FOR, is the TRUTH. You shouldn't be shocked at the fact that it was posted, you should be shocked at the fact that such poor treatment, payment, exploitation of workers in America even EXISTS. Now THAT is what's 'shocking'.

Why do some post about companies they still work for? Because at this stage of the MT game, there is rarely any other choice anymore, short of going back to school and into an entirely different field. For some that's an option, but for many more MTs, it isn't, at least not in the short run.

MTs bash companies they still work for because they know for a fact that they're being screwed, and there currently isn't much they can do about it.

They do it because they remember a time when MTs were considered to be live, valuable employees, assets to their companies, not just red or black ink on their books.

They do it because they KNOW these companies could do better - for their employees, for healthcare as a whole, and even for themselves, if they had the backbone and the moral fortitude to go after quality, honor and accountability, and not continually go scraping the bottom of the barrel for that almighty extra dollar. The continual underbidding of other companies (even when they may have a far superior service) is unbecoming and degrading. And they try to make themselves come out smelling like roses by degrading US - the people who are the actual nuts and bolts of their industry, and the source of their income.

Well, that works both ways, doesn't it? If they can degrade MTs, who provide them with their income, then we can we can fling it right back at 'em.
What company is Carol from on the job board?

I wonder if the pay is 10-15 cpl since you MUST be certified?  Anyone know?

Regard deposit
The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.
With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now.  You are right on both counts - 
In regard to SmartMed
what is the eSmartMed curriculum about?  Has anyone taken the curriculum courses and gone through the internship, and then hired by them?  I am curious about this.
Also KS Question in this regard...(sm)
It is my understanding KS does not pay shift differential, bonuses for working on days off, etc. In other words, if you are already making the maximum lines per day that you can, there is no real incentive to work days off, etc. I may be wrong about this, so it would be helpful if a KS person could confirm/deny this. Have they ever had an incentive program in the past but it didn't work out? Not trying to cause any problems here, just interested....
With regard to insurance premiums, sm

Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision.  It is probably another 100 a month. 


Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?


With regard to that on-site training
Does SS pay for travel expenses, including lodging, meals, etc? Or does the MT have to pay out of pocket?
Seeking info regard DaVenture
sorry about my mistake...guess I should pay more attention to how I spell company names...they just might hold it against me!!!!!
Except - if things change with regard to offshoring,
hiring an American union member may be the most cost-effective way to go.

Making offshoring undesirable and EXPENSIVE should also be on MTs' agendas, this coming year.
Feeling clueless in regard to MT platforms such as Extext, etc. sm
I have always worked with MS Word and WordPerfect. Had my own clients for many years, as well as working for MTSO as an IC. I have never worked on a transcription platform such Extext or any of the other common platforms. I am well versed in working digitally with FTP, TASP, etc. I currently work for a service and continue to work strictly in MS Word and FTP transfer. I worry about this lack of experience with these platforms What can I do to educate myself in the event I choose to go with a large national who uses a MT platform? Quite honestly, I have never even used a shortcut program other than auto correct in MS Word because I have very, very few repetitive dictations, as I type many different specialties and doctors, who each has their own style and format required (mainly teaching and research hospital) Thanks for any ideas.
I can't remember where I first heard this line, but with regard to AHDI.... sm
Remember, the court-appointed psychiatrist is not your friend.
What is their policy with regard to weekend work, and do they supply equipment?
Thanks.
The long rant was in regard to Cassie on Guiding Light.

Webinar -Evolving Medical Transcription: Technology's impact on traditional transcription process

Hey everyone, check out this link. This is what we are up against. Be sure and note how 3M or whoever is the sponsor of this webinar throws in that dictation and transcription is time-consuming.  Nevermind that EMR and VR take more time and money to be successful and it only takes 38 seconds to dictate a returning patient and 2 minutes to dictate a new patient versus 500 clicks on a point and click EMR or the mess VR makes and having to have an Editor come in and clean up the mess. Propaganda that we should know about.

Thanks in adance for your help/support. 


Do you mean TMT Transcription or Tidewater Medical Transcription sm

Thank you


Don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.

D&L Transcription
Can anyone tell me anything about D&L Transcription??  Just wondering and curious.... THANKS!
TM Transcription - sm
Anyone ever work for TM Transcription?  I think it is Transcription Mommies which is kind of scary but I'm looking for a smaller co.
T-C Transcription
I started last week working for them.  I was promised my main account would be radiology.  Of course, lied to again.  They have ME on five accounts.  I have only done VA.  The instructions for the account are absolutely ridiculous.  Who has time to review 18 pages of dialogue for an account???  Then some have templates, and VA  you have to fill in headers and footers, and use periods in MD and other stupid stuff.  Then you have to do a monthly schedule, and I have had nothing but trouble with that.  I sent it as an attachment, as required, but it is not the "right" format.  I am supposed to have tech support fix my email, and the account manager is snooty as heck.  I am literally shaking I am so frustrated and angry with this place.  I took a chance and re-contacted my job I just resigned from, and I got my job back.  eTransPlus is a great place.  I highly recommend applying there.
QA vs. transcription
I have done QA for about 4 years and left the company, and I would like to do transcription, but I only type about 55-60 words a minute. Should I try different companies to see if they will hire me. And will speed come?  I have enough medical terminology, but it's the speed I'm concerned about.
QA vs. transcription
As you probably already know, quality is much more important than speed in transcription. Just keep plugging away with quality as your #1 goal, and the speed will come with practice. Also, I suggest trying one of those typing test websites to work on your speed. Good luck!
Transcription help

Is there anybody out there that would be willing to mentor an MT.  I try to find MT friends but have no luck, as nobody wants to give me their name.  I like these boards but sometimes I need longer explanations about things.  I was just wondering if there was a group or something or individuals who do that.

Pj transcription
I did work for PJ for months and you might as well go back to school, cause at least then you dont expect pay, with PJ you wont get paid either. I did give notice and never recieved anything except experience. good luck
Pjs Transcription
All is works for as we speak. Your right, there is no excuse for it, and others will get caught in it too which is a shame to take advantage of new MTs.    
PJs transcription
I have nothing to gain from this posting. This business owner has already stolen over $500 from me and I will have to fight to get it back -- might get ugly. I do not take pleasure in demoralizing anyone. Just don't want it to happen to anyone else -- so here we go....word of mouth. By the way, congratulations on your business ownership -- it's quite an accompliment to run an honest, productive business.
PRN transcription
Does this company have radiology and urology? If this is the one I am thinking of, I was going to start working for them, but then the girl training me admitted that she didn't like certain reports or dictators and would skip them - that was all I needed to hear - of course that is what would be left for me to do - the crap work - and I have done all of that kind of work for most of the past 15 years - and I am tired of it - ESLs, long reports for little pay, etc. If you have the names of someone with the company - I would be happy to confirm if this is one in the same.
