Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.
You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.
I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.
Absolutely! If you're that dissatisfied with your job, find another one!
 Complaining on an anonymous message board to let off steam does nothing more than just that! Very nonproductive and passive/aggressive.
Also, do you clock out for every little thing, or do you find that now you're able to still get t

Can only find that they're IC only, starting pay is 8 cpl, nonnegotiable, and they were using DSS

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
At Webmedx, if you're scheduled for 35 hours, you may find (like I did) that (sm)
you have to do 40 due to the time clock situation.
You're welcome! I find being on the ground floor of an account has its advantages, don't you?
There definitely is a difference and if you want to spend countless minutes searching for docs, countless spellings, then you are not making sense, constantly learning ESLs, then your are in training and not making the mortgage. I post here about inequities I have found and hope they help. Surely, no Transcriptionist is going to go my opinion alone, but if I am not making money and someone asks and I have been there I will try to give them something to ponder. Being on the ground floor of a company or account has its advantages and surely you know that. Thank you for reading my post.
Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!

Grab it!
I was offered an in-house position for a teaching hospital last year and turned it down because I wanted my flexibility. The hospital had already done the outsourcing thing for a couple of years, hated the quality and didn't find it cost-effective, and was re-hiring their own staff.
Now my MTSO doesn't allow a flex schedule anymore, I don't have the benefits or stability the hospital does, and it will take me forever for another opening to come up. Not taking that job is a big regret.
Grab it...
I've only been with MDI a couple of months and my advice is, if they've made you an offer, GRAB IT. I've never run out of work, but my understanding is they are more than willing to cross-train in other areas if the MT desires more work.
The recruiters/QA people are professional, friendly and responsive, communication is top-notch, Bayscribe platform is simple to use, and most all of the dictators I have had are quite decent. On top of it all, pay is always on time and you always know the exact amount before it hits the bank.
Congratulations on the offer and good luck to you. 
Grab the 9 cpl is my advice. sm
Doubt you will be offered more especially without op notes. Take this opportunity to learn op notes now. That is what I specialize in. You might like it!
wow 6 cents huh. Grab it before somebody gets it.
Those kind of posts are just to see if it will work. All the MTSOs get together and price fix (illegal) and they all figure get the price down and we win, all agree on the standards, accuracy, line count and price. We are regarded like the old days of slavery, treat em bad, they will begin to agree with us (by their treatment) and accept it. Well we have value, don't accept this stuff. Keep looking around.

And yet, some newbie will grab it up for the experience. nm

Do you mean 0.07?? if it is 70 cents a line grab it. (nm)

No I am not a troll, but I did find a job. Good for me
I found a job as a medical secretary and that is good enough for me right now. It is not the best situation, but I will get some SUM tapes and practice. Thanks for the advise.
Good luck wherever you go...hopefully you find the right fit for you...

Let us know if you find it!! Good luck...nm

Why test to find out their pay is not good?
The recruiter should answer the question regarding pay before wasting time on testing. JMO.
Every month it's the same. Grab all the work on the last days of the pp and
It's very annoying.
Wow 6 cents, grab it people. Geez!
Requirements for IC Transcriptionist - MnD Scriberz on job seekers board.
Good luck!. When you find the company, let us know. sm
I'm in the same boat. 
I have been looking and hope to find a good 'home' soon! NM
oo
i didn't find the communication to be good
well, it was as long as i said everything was rosey. Soon as things weren't so perfect, they became much less than friendly.
Does anyone know anything (good or bad) about DTS America? Haven't been able to find anything at
Find another job immediately - Not a good situation. Been there, done that. nm

Do you find that you are able to earn a good income with them?
Do you have ample work, or do you often have to resort to MT work to fill the time?
Anyone find Oracle to be a good company?
I was just referred to Oracle Transcription Services. Is this a good place to consider switching to as an IC, as this is all they hire. The flexible schedule of an IC definitely appeals to me.
Anyone find a good home at Softscript?
Any feedback appreciated.
Good - Find someone else to spew your venom at
You must really have a heart on for LandMark the way you jumped all over MY post when there are a few posts in this thread that said the same thing I did about companies going to VR. I said NOTHING NEGATIVE about LandMark.
You're obviously someone with a shell of a life who has nothing better to do than LOOK for reasons to start internet squabbles to make yourself feel superior in that delusional little world you've carved out for yourself, probably eating en and Jerry's by the quart and rarely seeing the light of day.
I feel sorry for you.
Do yourself a favor and step away from keyboard and get some sunlight on occasion. Perhaps you're lacking in vitamin D.
Beth, you need to grab an extra six-pack and suck um down.
xxxxxxxxxx
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Gee, I tried real hard to find those good posts,
but all I could find, in addition to the other complaints already listed, were complaints about being in the "middle of an 11-minute job when it was pulled and given to someone else," "There has to be a better way NOT to make a living," "I know I am going to end up on food stamps," complaints of no compensation for down time and BTXT being down and MTs not being notified.
If there were one or two positive comments about it on there somewhere, they are certainly overshadowed by all the justified negativity, outrage and frustration that's there.
I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you recommend that anyone apply there for employment these days. It used to be a good company, and like the song says, "Used-to-be's don't count any more." Although I don't expect them to "bring me flowers" I do expect to be able to earn a living wage, and those days are quickly disappearing.
Make your own nest. Find a couple of good
accounts, multiple companies if you have to. Work on them every day just to stay on top of it. I used to bend over backwards to try to help where needed, but all I ever got was kicked in the head, so now I just do my routine. When they start appreciating people, (and not just an occasional 'oh how wonderful you are' when they are backlogged and know you can do a lot of work), by some type of recognition like a raise or promotion, then you can go back to being the nice guy.
Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

Does anyone that is currently or had worked for DSG find it rather difficult to get a good line
count for some reason.
Question for anyone currently with DSG. Do you find it is difficult to get good lines there.
I started recently and seem to find it rather difficult to get a good line count for some reason. Help appreciated.
Unlike the poster below, I did not find the ESLs good dictators at FN. sm
In fact, in my over 20 years of experience, they were the worst I have ever heard. We got way more than 3 e-mails a day, too. More like 10 to 15, beginning for help and sometimes bordering on threatening. If you are really good with ESLs, you MIGHT do okay. But who wants to put up with that?!? No bennies either. Glad I am long long gone. The grass really is greener.
I think you would be doing good to find a reputable company, much less by putting qualifiers
:+
How many accts did you experience in 3 days? Been there for a few months and so far so good. I find
but compared to where I was the lines sure do add up, and I absolutely love my acct, supervisor, tech people and QA! All have been great!!
You're good.
I just sit and stare at my pay stubs, blinking now and then, totally clueless how to interpret them. First time that's ever happened to me.
If you're a good MT, it should not
my 2 cents
I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS. NONE of them.
They actually think they're making themselves look GOOD to us!
LOL
If you're really good and dependable......
xx
They're a good company
I've been an IC with them since November last year. I'm on a clinic account, so the work was slow around Christmas and New Year's because the clinic was closed, but otherwise, the work is plentiful throughout the week. Good company - good people. QA is really great to work with. They pay right on time and are very accurate.
Good thing you're independent,
You're very welcome, gb. As you can see, you posed a very good question! nm
xx
And if they're *pretty darned good* right now,
when you and you coworkers fix it so they're PERFECT, who's going to be editing these reports then?
Perhaps a better question is from what country will these people be editing these reports?
Good for you; you're a natural born MT and I wish you well. nm

lol you're so evil, but very good point
