She has posted that the spots are filled
xx
Think they posted that all spots were filled 2 days after posting
s
I suggest you ask for a mentor to help you through the rough spots.
I had trouble with the demog screens at first but I got a routine down and now they go very quickly for me.  My production is back up even higher than at my old company.  Good luck. 
Filled out ...
online app on Monday; got an email that afternoon inviting to test. Tested next day (Tue). Phone call from recruiter on Thursday and she emailed data sheet that day and had contracts/paperwork FedEx'd that day. Rec'd FedEx on Friday (yesterday). Returned it Sat (today - 7/16). Waiting for equipm/training next week!!
That job has already been filled
They post jobs like that because they feel it is the PC thing to do but 9 times out of 10 they already have someone in place. That's the way OSi does business unfortunately. If they have it in for you, you will most assuredly not be promoted by them. They promote from within meaning people they don't have it in for.
already filled in with me too
the data is already filled in for the company that I work for also.  I don't work for Allegiant, but do use EMDAT.  I'm paid for two lines before I type one character.
Yes, had a contract and filled out sm
a 1099. Received checks without taxes deducted. All of a sudden deducted taxes, and told me I was staying employee like it or lump it. From what I read on these boards, this company is always low-balling someone.
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know

As I was out to get my prescriptions filled

Diskriter called.  I sent them my resume Sunday.  The thing is, I work for a hospital that is going to VR and templates.  They are cutting back on MTs.  They are leaving the CMTs, higher producers and the ones with the most experience to do the leftover MT work.   They offered me a position in medical records.  I will be doing the corrections, scanning charts and other clerical things as well, which would be fine, but they are going to give me a flat hourly rate at $11/hour.  I made more on production.  I will be driving 40 miles in-house.  I drive a gas guzzling Chevy Suburban.  Plus, I will be getting up early early, having to get dressed, get the kids dressed and out the door so I can be there by 7:30.  If I am late they will write me up.  I forget how many write-ups I can get before they give me to boot.  I know for a fact that they are not as flexible with their hourly employees as they are with their production employees.  It makes me nervous.  On the other hand, I will be using different skills other than MT.  I won't be making much profit though. 


I filled out an application
I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
Jobs filled up
These days with all the people applying for jobs in this field, it is not surprising they filled up the position in a few days. There are many more MTs than positions at good companies (note I said good companies). If it were me, I'd send an e mail or call asking that they keep my resume. You never know when they will need someone because of becoming exceptionally busy with snowbirds in Florida (they have accounts there). My 2c.
Demographics already filled
 Allegiant is a wonderful company to work for.  she ALWAYS pays on time with direct deposit.  All of her accounts are in the database and there are no patient lists used whatsoever.  I have used Emdat for 6 years and I am very happy with the amount of money I make. 
I filled in for a short time . . sm
I worked for them about 3 years ago. They have a WP platform I believe. I thought it was a little fiddly, but not bad. Lots of OPs, big hospitals. They didn't bug me, just let me work. It's easy to make the lines if you're experienced. They really know what they are doing. If I needed the work, I would go back to them without hesitation.
That's exactly it - the shifts everyone wants (day shift, MF) are filled but the others sm
are open. Should we just not fill them because YOU don't have enough to do? My STM sent out info regarding what shifts were open and asked if anyone was interested in taking on that account. Obviously not enough people were interested, meaning they have to hire to fill those weekend and night shifts.
I just had 2 meds filled and never paid a dime.

Do you give it back with the blanks filled in?
I send things to QA and never hear back until I prod and prod.  This is a waste of my time as well only to hear from QA don't know, we sent through with the blank.  If you are filling in the blanks, then you should be giving it back to the MT with the mistakes filled in and also a way for the MT to relisten.   JMO.  Is this MT doing the same doc or is she being thrown new ones to learn each day?  As far as the timeframe for when will she learn, there are a lot of variables to that question in my opinion.  Sorry to sound sort of like huh?, but you seem like you are sort of complaining about the job you chose.  If you do not like QA, why not try going back to being an MT.  JMO.  Good luck with the MT though..    
Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay.  I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled.  But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
I filled out the paperwork and late the same day they called
to setup an interview the next day and I was immediately offered a position.   They have a large account coming on-line very soon and are trying to train several people too, so there may be a backlog.  I was hired 2 weeks ago and start training later this week.  
I was told the oncology positions were filled already. nm

Just filled out my new hire paperwork today-sm
I'm glad to hear encouraging things. I'm really excited! I'm just P/T so all the OT stuff and what not does not apply to me anyway.
and was emailed immediately that the position had been filled, ad is now gone..hmm (nm)
asdf
So all three you just filled in the blanks and didn't need special equipment?
The MT I work with and I might test with them this week.
Yikes..5 cpl and they filled the positions..pathetic..okay all you out there that stooped so low to
accept that rate, please raise your hand LOL.. That is SHOCKING..who could live on 5 cpl. I think I'd be insulted and humilated and DESPERATE to accept that rate.  I'm pretty sure they are getting more than 5 cpl from their clients. You can bet they are making more than enough by having the slaves work for free practically.
How many have filled applications out with what you make and test and never hear
anything back.  I wonder if you make a decent 10 cpl or something that is the end of hearing back from them thinking you want that much or more when you fill out the application. 
I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test.  I thought what is this.  This all took hours of my time.  I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again.  Been there and done that.
may depend on account; mine needed demos filled in.

The Rates Are Posted Here and Posted Below

The service owner fees are posted in a UnionNow post (below), but here they are again:


SERVICE OWNERS CHARGE:


$0.115 - $0.25 per line for full transcription of acute care on 24/7 accounts


$2.75 - $7.65 per report for full transcription of pathology, lab, specialty operative notes, plain film and interventional radiology



$0.097 - $0.125 per line for VR editing



OF THAT MONEY, MTs ARE RECEIVING



$0.85 - $1.25 per report full transcription



$0.06 - $0.115 per line full transcription



$0.035 - $0.06 per line for VR editing



AS OUR PRODUCTION BRINGS THE MONEY IN, WE DESERVE A LARGER CHUNK OF THE PROFITS - OFFICE STAFF CAN BE TRIMMED INSTEAD OF THE PRODUCTION STAFF.  IF A RECEPTIONIST MISSES A DAY OF WORK, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THE PHONE IN HER PLACE.  IF AN MT NEEDS A DAY OR SO OFF, PATIENT CARE CAN SUFFER BECAUSE AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF A HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAVAILABLE.



WE ARE STILL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE HEALTH CARE PICTURE.  DO NOT SELL YOURSELVES SHORT.



IF YOU ARE AGAINST UNIONS OR INITIATIVES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT BEG THAT YOU RESEARCH, SPEAK TO OTHERS, EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT WORKERS UNITED.  WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE HERE; THEY'VE TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM US. 



WE PROPOSE:


$1.25 PER REPORT TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs


$0.10 PER LINE TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs


$0.075 PER VR LINE EDITED IN THE U.S.A. BY U.S. MTs


They posted everything else, why not the....

unfortunately, whenever a job is posted - sm
no matter what is specified for requirements for the job, you would be surprised just how many people will send a resume. With all the jobs I have posted, I make sure I put the necessary requirements, i.e. foreign language requirement, absolutely no offshore companies, etc., and I STILL GET 100+ emails from people that have no idea what transcription is (yes, they actually put that down), Indian and Phillipine companies emailing, as well as the countless number of people that do not even remotely meet the requirements. I have even had some with gross misspellings!!! Can you believe that?

I hope this isn't harsh, but it can be quite frustrating just weeding through the resumes to find the ones that actually fit the bill.

It wouldn't surprise me that you have not heard from them yet - they are probably still weeding through the resumes. If you are qualified, then hang in there, I'm sure they will contact you.
I posted asking about....sm
The computers companies provide, whether they were crap or not and that appears to be gone as well. I did not identify a specific employer or anything. Having a failing computer and job hunting currently, I just wondered what you'd get but someone posted that it made sense for the company to send you a decent system so they could keep you working. I could see her point....a perspective I had not looked at.
I know they posted an ad
I believe I would write to them and ask, or call if they have an 800 number to find out if they want IC or employee MTs.  Don't know if they offer insurance or not.
I have posted before on this co. sm
The staff is great..really nice people..they paid me my s/o bonus even after I quit before my 60 days which I thought was great..however, if you do not like MedType or MedRite..forget it. Hey, when I got the 6 huge binders of paperwork with my PC..I knew I was in for trouble. It doesn't have to be that hard.
It was posted here before but...
it seems like MDI wants no backlog whatsoever. I mean, even if there are only 20 jobs in the system, they're zipping out E-mails that we need to wipe them out ASAP. I don't get it.
That was already posted below, but
is wrong. sm means see message. People put sm and then say long message. Sm does not mean small message.
just posted Jan 6
I just asked some questions about Transolutions on 1/6. There have been recent changes that affect pay and I am wondering if others are frustrated and worried as I am. I have been an MT for lotsa years and now feel like my QA has fallen drastically because of new higher standards, which have not been consistent either. Plus, you have to be very careful how many reports you put on hold, no matter the reason.
Help!
She posted above that she does NOT
YOU might want to take time to read this person's posts before you come to this board offering instructions to me. She may not work in her living room, maybe she works in her bedroom....but she does not work in the KS office.
Since she's already posted her name..
I can tell you that CW has been one of the strongest anti-offshoring activitists in the business. She wrote a long letter on the subject to the Atlanta Journal and I think even went to see the gov. of Ga. personally concerning the matter. She has urged her fellow MTs to get active in writing their state politicians about this issue. So if she's having to admit defeat, she didn't go down without a fight. Just thought I'd pass this on FYI.
that was posted
.
She posted her name. What else was I
Puts her name out there and then is upset by someone calling her by HER OWN NAME!!! ROFL

Yes, to whoever posted it. nm
s
It was posted that some ME at
now, after many months, but not too many are there yet.  At 4 CPL, which is what they pay, that would be MAYBE 12 bucks an hour at the top of the editing 300 LPH.  Nothing to brag about in my opinion.  I make more straight typing.  But those still at 200 LPH make less than a janitor.
Yes, I think I am the one who posted, and yes I do like it there.
People are not constantly calling you or bothering you. You do have to keep your schedule though. There is plenty of work. They don't pay for the template though.
well, from what I can tell - they have posted
three times for the job and are very clear about wanting someone local to the area. So that ruled me out because I live in Clearwater.
See the ads posted
They have 2 ads up on MT Stars - one is for acute care and ops the other for ER.  I sent my resume yesterday - use the 2nd e-mail address as the first one (which, if I remember right) was resumes@accustat-mts bounced back, but the 2nd one went thru. 
I, along with others, have posted

some ESL tips on, I think, the main board.  Try doing a search for those.   If you do not come up with anything helpful, post again.  I will try to remember some good pointers in the meantime.


Just relax.....don't make it any harder for yourself than you may think it is! 


When you get it, you'll get it, and wonder *how i the world did I ever understand what he/she was saying??* 


NJ. They have an ad posted.
nm
Sorry I posted this twice
I got an error message the first time and didn't see it until I reposted.
I posted with my

positive experience with D&L.  I never had any problems with the pay arriving on time or being incorrect.   *Lana*'s insinuation that there is something *funny* about not posting my actual name on a web board is most likely her personal problem, not mine.

Each job that gets posted seems to go
lower and lower in pay! What in the world? This is ridiculous. I think it's over. They can have it all, with all of their YOU MUST have's while offering you pennies. Blagh!
I have posted on this before if you SM
have a choice between being a hospital employee and just working for DR directly, choose the hospital route. Your benefits are much cheaper and BETTER with the hospital.  DR only offers the average benefits for this field, which are low anyway.
