Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
If you arent' happy....
Perhaps if you aren't happy with the company you work for, you should seek work elsewhere.  I seldom post; in fact, this is only my second post here, and I post under my real name.  People know who I am....I'm merely an Acusis employee, like yourself, but there is a big difference between you and I.  I am PROUD to work for such a great company.  DRC...now Acusis...has never been anything but an honest company.  The people in charge have treated us well, in little and big ways.  If you have a problem with them...if you aren't a proud part of our team.....then it's time for you to look elsewhere.  Don't cause trouble where there isn't any.
nope, they arent based in FL

If you believe hospital CEO's arent a big part
worked inhouse before. Try a quarter-century of inhouse, and all the lower, middle and upper management financial waste (all the fat cats gotta have them $1500 office chairs and gourmet lunches, ya know), and then get back to me.
Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm

Any NEW information about Interpro? All I find in the archives arent very recent

I remember your post several weeks ago..Hopefully, you still arent working for these people. I'm
sure they have been paid by their client. Why do they think they can rip people off. You need to post their name so that noone else bothers with them. Oh yeah, I think I remember now..It was someone named Joanna who asked for overflow help on podiatry, right? I am ashamed to admit that I submitted my resume. Luckily, she never called or I would be doing what your doing..Nightmare..
I'm 99% satisfied...
I wish I were making a little more per line, but I get great line counts, never run out of work and have had the same primary account since February. QA is helpful, IC flexibility is great.
Satisfied
DR
satisfied much
love archivus of NC
I don't know of anyone who is satisfied except
for the few that post on here that they are very happy and make great money, but don't tell anyone where to go to make that kind of money. I think it is a big trade secret. All I know is, I can't find it anymore and pay only continues a downward trend. Btw, what is a medical abstractor??
I used them and am very satisfied.

I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.

What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

Very satisfied with Medware.
They have been very open and upfront and totally honest, which was a real switch for me. (was working for a very dishonest company)

My supervisor is way cool and he is very appreciative with tons of personality. I have never had a problem with getting time off, he is easy to get along with and flexible.

My experience is that if the system is down for longer than 1 hour you will be paid down time. I have only experienced one down time and that was last week for only 45 minutes.

I have many years of experience and am very happy with the money I am making with Medware, and never have to worry about not receiving my check every other Friday.

Medware is very big on quality and that was the determining factor for me going with them.

The system is easy and I love my account....lots of op notes.
Are you satisfied at Amphion?

Pros/cons of Amphion currently.


Thanks!


Is anyone completely satisfied with their job?

I don't want to be a job hopper, but what is up with these companies??? 


They offer one thing and then completely turn around and do another (only after being employed for a month or so)---- 


You will be completely satisfied and productive on one account and completely out of nowhere they switch on you, throw you on a new account (when they said they wouldn't because they like to see their MTs productive).


I get my Expanders and macros set up ...and BOOM... new account. 


Then there you are learning new account specifics with a bunch of crappy dictators---It feels as if you are starting all over again with a new company.  


Can you ever be really happy?  I am not asking for specific company names here.  I am just wondering since changing jobs 3 times since leaving MQ THIS YEAR if all of the companies are like this.  Maybe I just jinx myself by getting happy and excited and telling people how great this new company is. lol. 


It is not just the switching of the accounts.. it is the IC companies that start out to be 24 hour TAT and then ask you for a schedule after working for a couple of weeks (even when you are getting your required lines in).  Or the companies that even though they are IC and you did give them a schedule expect you to log on any time of the day to work. AGGGHHHH.


I get that this is the business..and I don't want days filled with glorious dictators and simple work (I know that is not possible).  I would just like to be left in ONE PLACE for once with a primary account that doesn't get switched for no reason and get my work back as agreed upon!  Hey throw all of the horrid ESLs you want at me on the account... just leave me be! lol. Seriously.


I just cannot be productive working like this.


KS is a good company. I am well satisfied. nm

I agree..very, very satisfied with my IC position
I cannot complain at all about my IC position. I cannot say that I run out of work either, QA is great and the flexibility is better than I had ever imagined. :)
I agree with satisfied at Deventure below.
I left another company as an IC for an employee status position and was hired by Deventure. No complaints at all. After not having any response to emails, rude responses when I did hear from someone, constantly running out of work and working holidays and weekends with no pay previously, this company is like a breath of fresh air. Everyone is very helpful, friendly and courteous and lots of work. Direct deposit hits the bank every week - even a day early usually. Was only there 1 month and got a small Christmas bonus check.
I'm not sure anyone is "really happy" with them. Satisfied perhaps.
dinky due
I work there and am very satisfied and would recommend it - nm

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Some people are afraid of change so are satisfied

If you say you do better, they'll deny it.  Ssssshh, don't burst their bubble. They get grumpy when you do.


SATISFIED MTs, Please post initials or name of your company here

If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.


and if you can be satisfied with being treated like a piece of crap
.
Would you please be so generous as to send your company gift to me since you are perfectly satisfied

with our job paying us for NO holidays, use PTO earned for sick, holiday pay, and everything else that may come at us in life!  You better believe those inhouse clerks, etc./sups, leads, execs and on and on get their GIFT and a hefty one at that.  Why are we at-home supposed to be satisfied with nothing, but a low-paying job, low work most of the time, requests from company to flex and flex for THEM, but no flexing when the MT needs off.


Yes, I am thankful for a job, and that is exactly what it is . . . . a job (almost).  That is if you consider NO paid HOLIDAYS like all other types of companies give.  Yes, these are hard times, but these hard times are hitting the MT harder and harder each and every year!  It does not affect the office support staff, etc., etc., etc.  They are paid for holidays and whether there is work for the MT or not.  We are piecemeal workers only (similar to sweat shop workers).  Yes, I am thankful that I have a paycheck coming home, BUT I have to WORK VERY HARD for every penny that comes home to me in the form of a paycheck -- without any paid breaks or holidays.  The office staff are the lucky ones -- everything paid for them!


Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
I think you all need to realize
That MDI would not have never been created if not for Liz and Sue McGrogan....remember this is a company that they built from scratch.   So without Sue's input MDI would not be what it is today.  Kudos for her and the $$$ her business has made over the years.  I don't care where you work you are not going to be able to please EVERYONE all of the time. It just doesn't work that way...Oh and by the way...I am not management and I don't even work for MDI...I work for hospital in Florida. 
Maybe you need to realize that they
most likely had to sell out because of their poor management abilities! Management is where all the troubles lie!
I'm sure you realize...
...that much of what I said was tongue in cheek, as there really AREN'T questions that will identify someone who has a personality problem. Unless, or course, the person is severely troubled and is speaking tangentially, or is using word salad, or has flight of ideation. I've come to realize that grandiosity is an uncommon, but workable trait in some MTs. Lol....

I appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on the topic. Hopefully others will begin to recognize that, short of tests that are designed to help identify problems, there isn't anything a recruiter can do to weed out the problem folks. To infer that there is someone bigger and better than a recruiter ("the MTSO")to accomplish this isn't going to be easy, or cost-effective.
Don't you realize..........sm
that many of these posts are from MTs who have experienced your hiring process nightmares first hand? You only make it worse for your company by coming on this board and calling us liars.

I don't think most realize that you don't have
to be consistent. I stick with it consistently.

It's not that hard to make this money. You're right - don't work for peanuts. Find the line rate you need.

It can still pay well if you're good at this work. Some people just aren't as good as others.

Thank you. I now realize that I am being
paid for links. Just did not know what they were exactly. I have been counting them as separate reports so I guess the end result regarding pay is the same.
I realize that, I was just saying...sm
There were companies I worked for that didn't require me to send invoices because I know that if the IRS were to question them, all they have to do is show them the contract that I signed as an IC and it saves their butts. I wasn't disputing.
Not sure if you realize...
but the 7th was a Sunday. Of course you were paid on the 8th.

I don't work for Cardioscribes, so it's really none of my business, but you're making yourself look pretty bad here. Banks aren't open on Sunday for DD, and mail doesn't run on Sunday...so you do the math there.
You might not appreciate it, but do you realize that
every day there are people wondering how they are going to feed their kids, that people are losing their houses, and $100 would be a major blessing to them. 
You have to realize there is more than 1
Medscribe, none related.
I think once you get into it you'll realize just

how little med-speak you know.   I have always soaked up anything medical, starting in junior high and terminology came very easy to me, but I have been in this business 20 years and I still learn new info all the time.   I may learn a new piece of equipment or new drug, or have a doctor from a different part of the country and he may use different terminology, not necessarily new, but new to me.  I may have a day go by where I don't have to look up anything, but I rarely have 2 days that I don't.  


The speed will come with practice.  I barely passed typing in junior high and never really typed aftewards until I started in this profession.  If I had to take a typing test where I had to type from a book I'd fail, but I can fly when typing dictation.  


I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments.  Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
You need to realize that about 80 pc of the docs sm

practicing acute care in this country are ESL.  It is what it is. 


I like them a lot better than the native English speakers, who slur words, like to play with the language.  ESLs learn one way to say it, and they say it that way every time.  You just have to get used to it.
