Philippine company with an office in Nashville
xx
I'm with the Nashville office...
I haven't really heard anything good or bad about them. I've searched but came up with nothing. I'm hoping that's a good sign since the bad ones seem to come up a lot. Which office are you with?
Does Medquist still have an office in Nashville? Does
anyone know what the plans are for that location?
I work for the Nashville office...
I do acute care work. I had less than two years' experience when I was hired. I tested for clinic work but they asked me if I'd be willing to do acute care even though I had no experience with it. I have no idea if 0.825 cpl is a good hiring rate. I was coming from a company that only paid 0.065 cpl so it was better than what I was making.

Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
Even the long time Cymed recruiter jumped and went to another Nashville company.
i'm totally amazed they are still running but i feel an implosion any day now.
MQ Nashville
I heard Leslie was promoted to regional manager?  Who is the office manager there now?  Jerry still the tech?
Nashville MT--Please SM RE M. Turner
Martha was killed Monday evening in a car wreck.  I thought this was something you might want to know. 
Does anyone work for DTS out of Nashville?

Would love to hear any opinions/comments on this company. I tested with them recently and will be re-testing again soon. Thanks,

I thought TRS was in Nashville. sm
I know of a TSLLC in NC. I know I wanted to work at TRS at one point, also.
AaMT - Nashville, TN
Does anybody know what is up with this company?  I started with them and there has not been any work on their system for a week now.  They were a part of Synthescribe.  If anybody works for them please let me know what is going on!  Thanks!
Hi there, I worked out of Nashville, too. I have been switched around SM
between several CSCs due to closings. This one seems okay, at least the office staff is friendly.
Any info on DTS America out of Nashville
nm
Excuse me, my co's IT dept is in Nashville and sm
Seattle.  Don't say that the majority has IT support out of India, because it's not true.  Even Spheris (with a large presence in India) does IT out of Franklin, TN.

RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT

Philippines (2 Ps, 1 L)

Philippines

Philippines *and* India. nm
sorry.
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?
/
It is an Indian run company with a store front office in the US. If you are
working without a contract you're asking for trouble.  They have no obligation to pay you if there is no contract. 
sorry...truncated..I meant, he's in the Philippines

The worst offender for Philippines is SPI-BPO. sm
i think they added the BPO to their name so people wouldnt realize it was them, lol.

They have work done in Philippines and in India and the quality of the work just sucks so bad.

Steer clear of them, for sure.

Oh, that is unless you are a liaer and a thief. They like to have employees who screw them. One chick worked (yeah right - i should say BILLED) for 23 hours a day - she made $7000 the first month she was there and those idiots let her.

She is STILL there too. sigh
All the good work goes to the Philippines.
The American MTs get the left overs. Check their web site.
I found a lot of replies from Indian and Philippines
it seemed as if her post came FROM the Philippines as it said she was a member on the republic of philippines website.....

They send our American work to the Philippines,
Philippines you would not be allowed to work.  Americans cannot get jobs in the Philippines because they are saving them all for the Filipinos - don't know if we'd want them anyway but that is beside the point.  Doesn't seem fair, does it, that they can take our work away from us and we get nothing in return.
There is a company where you can type sm
conference calls. I think the name is FDCH, federal document clearing house. I used to work for them a few years ago. I don't know how they are now.

TT is the type of company...sm
If they have 1 job out of TAT they freak out and hire 20 MTs.  God forbid they have steady work for a few weeks where you actually are able to make your line count, and they freak out again and hire 20 more MTs.  So needless to say, work flow is not steady and they love to overhire.
Do you will the company not allow her to type more, or
Are you taking a snipe at her lines produced in a day?

If you're taking a swipe at her producing 1200 lines a day, I'd like to remind you that is a perfectly fine production level and the general area usually produced for straight transcription, as reflected by most MTSOs requiring 1000-1200 lines per day to meet eligibility requirement for benefits.

I'd also like to point out that not all platforms are compatible with the ShortHand programs that do all of the work for the MT. Some companies still have platforms that require the MT to think and type rather than short-cut everything through a report.

Just my two cents in case that comment was intended to be as nasty as it reads.
oops - typing police where are you. I meant Philippines

SILENT TYPE--ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY??




Saw a job posted here  by this New Jersey company--anyone know anything about them?? Feel free to email. Can't afford another mistake and would like any info, positive or otherwise!


Anything Global or International prolly involves India or Philippines. nm

Silent Type..Good Company?

Is Silent Type a good company?  I dont want to waste my time hooking up with a company only to realize after Im hired that they are not a good company (what I am going through right now).  So...any information about Silent Type would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!


I work for All Type. They are a decent company.
Check them out. I am an IC but if you live in certain states you can be an employee or SE. Not sure if they need anyone right now though.
All Type is a good company. There are comments down
this page. Just scroll down. You can check out their website at http://www.alltype.net

I know we need MTs.
Can anyone recommend a company who allows you to type on just 1-2 docs M-F? SM

Pays every other week or twice a month, on time.  At least paying 8 cpl and with an MT-friendly platform.


Thanks guys!


not from Seascript but get that same type of thing from another company. Then
they called me twice asking me to send in paperwork which I couldn't send because their e-mail kept rejecting it. Glad I moved on.
On this Company Board, type in Probity
You'll see quite a few posts about them.  From what I saw they are not an honest company, but some find them okay.  Platform seemed like it had a lot of glitches or whatever.  Good luck!
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Anyone currently work for All Type or have recent experience with the company? sm

I'm currently exploring my options, and was impressed with the $1000 signon bonus offered, but wondering about the usual things -- quality and quantity of work available, pay on time, etc.


 


Any input would be appreciated. 


I was the *half full* type until my company laid me off.
They said identical things as this DRC acquisition. They told us to just keep working as usual and do your best. Three months later (after the Indians had proper training on our accounts), they laid off the whole US MT force. The particular account I was on DID NOT want their dictations outsourced overseas but this happened anyway until this account caught wind and eventually left. These things do happen out there, and all of these people have the right to feel skeptical. These Indian company takeovers happen more often than not. We MTs need to be less naive about things and more weary to protect our occupation.
Survey - What type of medical insurance does your company offer?
Just curious about which company you work for and what type of medical insurance they offer.  HMO, PPO?  Cheap or expensive for you?
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
Which office?
