Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

The same way cars that claim to be "made in America"

Posted By: have most parts manufactured elsewhere on 2009-05-24
In Reply to: If the transcribed files go to India, are sent out from India to be transcribed, sm - Seems odd to me

Some people just take a shred of truth, and spread it really really thin.  But their lies should be exposed every time someone gets a chance.

Plastic cars
Plastic cars fold up like an accordion absorbing impact.  The metal ones bounce you forward.  This is why speed limit was raised back in the 80s from 55 mph to 70 mph.     
Sure it does. It's a myth that foreign cars are better. sm

Does anyone keep jap cars long enough to find out?    We have American vehicles ranging from 2001 back to 1960.  Still running.  It started in the 70s when the factories started closing as goods were being made in Japan, and continued on.   Now it's China and India gobbling up our jobs. 


Japanese cars are too good for me - I can't use them up.
I had my Toyota Corolla 16 years, and I still only had 91,000 miles on it. Now I have a Ford. Maybe now I'll need another car in my lifetime - sheez!
I don't think MTs are running out to buy hybrid cars
It's not an incentive to sign up. They don't need to do that because word of mouth does that for them. It's more like core values of how a company operates and what they believe in.
plastic cars.....motorhead...sm

You're absolutely correct!  All these new cars crush like juice boxes/accordians.  I rather drive real steel older model cars for 2 reasons: I know how to fix 'em and keep 'em runnin', and I'd be more likely to live in the event of an accident.  Now, if I just had the money to restore them appropriately.  Oh well, can't have it all.   Cat   


Does credibility put food on our table, gas in our cars, and
clothes on our backs?

We must have been credible at some point in time. After all, we made good incomes because we were paid higher wages, we started MTSOs that were later bought out by the big boys with the big bucks, and we loved what we did and the product we produced. When did we lose credibility? Maybe when the big boys started offshoring? Do you think credibility will be brought back when the big boys bring our jobs back into our own country? Huh? Huh? Huh?
And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives.  Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars.
Get real..... who is buying new cars, satellite dishes, video games? How about rent, utilities on t
NM
yes you can claim all that as SE.
x
Yes, they do. They claim only 15%. nm
xxx
Could be, just like you claim to be an MT. nm
xxxxxxx
This claim in your post is exactly why
It is dangerous to both the employee (MT) and the company (MTSO).

Both were burned here by someone who apparently is completely anonymous to either or at least hiding like the loser they are.


Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks
x
How do I make a claim at the BBB? nm
x
They claim to have been in biz since 1992. nm
,,
They claim they do this out of necessity...
as well as for efficiency because they can't handle all of the required work. I'm curious, though, as to what they pay the Indian MTs. If the pay is extremely low (usually 1 to 2 cpl in India), that says it's mostly for the profit margin. I still have yet to see a company that pays an Indian, Pakistani, or Philippian MT more than that or equivocal to an American MT. It's all about the profit margin.
how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience?  Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work... 
Yes it is true and if you were there 2 years ago as you claim
as well as the "not so flattering" picture of her that was in the company email newsletter at around the same time.  Nice try though.
BBB - I think it costs $9.50 to make a claim now
Check the BBB internet site.
If told to do it but not claim it, that is PERMISSION, nm
nm
So if you have a medical claim, the insurance - sm
doesn't pay anything until you've forked out the first $2,000? That's appalling!
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
You said they claim easy dictators..

Are they easy with a significant amount of repetitiveness?  If there isn't...and all they do is talk then as an IC, 7 cents is not gonna pay the rent.  If the doc repeats things over and over...then you have a chance. 


I had an ESL once who others wouldn't do.  However, once I figured him out I found that he repeated 90% of the reports so it was great.


It also depends on platform.  If it's in MS Word with an FTP site...great.  If they use something like Emdat but don't have the demos and base information correct then your line count goes even lower.  Shop wisely....


TO THE ABOVE POST - IF YOU CLAIM TO BE SPEAKING TRUTH - SM
THEN GO AHEAD AND MENTION NAMES OF MANAGEMENT THAT LET THESE THINGS GO ON! WHAT DOCTORS AT WHAT HOSPITAL GOT FED UP WITH WHAT ACCOUNT AND ONLY GAVE OVERFLOW!?!?!? YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP! I AM A SINGLE PERSON AND I AM NOT A FAVORITE OR A CHERRYPICKER OF THE COMPANY. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME NAMES TO BACK UP YOUR "TRUTH" I SUGGEST YOU SPIT IT OUT. BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP!
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction.  As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues.  If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance. 
You made the claim by making your headline say
that is a claim and could potential be called slander. Hope you have an attorny on retainer.

you said ... I am not making any claims. ..... You made a specific claim that JLG was dishonest. I'm more inclined to believe you can't live up to the owner's standards.
I just find it amusing when MTs claim to assist others
If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it.

They claim "it is so much faster than Spheris".

How very interesting that people who claim NOT to be management seem to know all this is going on?
Out of the 196 e-mails they sent last month with account updates, endless pleas for help until they get new people in place, etc., there was not any real company info. I have been there 3 years and am currently looking to leave. They are hands down the rudest group of people I have ever worked with, in or out of this business. I have had MANY e-mails go unanswered, you are not allowed to IM but they send endless messages about all the work to be done while I am TRYING to work, and forget about ever reaching them on the phone should you need to. I work on numerous accounts that switch back and forth all day long. They want you to shut up and type and will contact you when THEY need something. Let me also add they have tons of ESL docs and very bad dictators in general. The only thing good is that the pay is on time.
I thought statutory could claim those same deductions? NM

Aren't they the ones that claim to be a good Christian
company too?  Sounds too much like TranScam to me. 
It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
DTS America
Do they allow dial-up?  Thanks.
DTS America
Another one I passed through  a few years ago.  Didn't suit me.  They are/used to be big offshorers.
DTS America?
has anyone heard of this company? how are they in terms of pay, schedule, etc.?
DTS america

 Did anyone receive a response in regards to the rsdiology opening?  TIA.


 


DTS America
I worked for them years ago. I only stayed 30 days because they had no work. They insisted on training in-house with them for a week, and then when I got home I ran out of work every day. They only had one hospital account - the rest were doctors' offices. This was about 6-7 yrs ago. Ask lots of questions You know how productive you are and how much work you need. Trust your instincts. One hospital account is not enough for a good MT. I can't imagine anyone is insisting on in-house training in this day and age, but any good MT should be able to connect herself and learn the technical aspects of an account remotely in, like...an hour.

I am looking for info on DTS America such as pay, plenty of work, benefits and how they treat you. I did see the one post about outsourcing to India, is this still their practice?


thanks,


 


Have you ever seen in America...
Have you seen how chickens, cows and pigs are treated as livestock in our country? Or how they are killed before being served up as Grade A American? Ever seen live chickens dunked into boiling water to scald their feathers off? It's not a pretty picture, no matter what animal or country!
DTS America
Anyone currently working there that I can chat with, if so please email me.  Thanks
DTS of America

 


RUN, FOREST!!! 


When I first started, they were great. When mgnt changed, it became the almighty $$.  I and several of my MT friends lost our jobs b/c they outsourced the work to India, lied about it, said there was no work, when there was work. One account they still have, that I worked on was Vanderbilt University Hospital, which is a HUGE teaching hospital and is the trauma center. How can Vandy be out of work? It is a  a joke that they're named DTS OF AMERICA when work is outsourced overseas.  You can e-mail me privately if you wish.


Signed,


fast fingers


 


DTS America
I worked for DTS America for about a year. They changed the way they count lines, which caused the pay to drop about 20%. We were no longer able to keep track of our own lines, as they did not provide the software for that. I worked on trauma with quality of 98.5 or better. Eventually, I was making less than $6 per hour. They were constantly running out of work (read giving it to India). They required us to check the queue for work every 15 minutes, sometimes all day long! My state government lodged a complaint, and I was fired.
DTS America
Does anyone have any info on DTS America?
DTS America
Does anyone have any current information about DTS America QA positions?  Do they have plenty of work?  Do they pay on time?  Are their QA positions paid hourly or by the line?  I know they outsource.  Do they hire IC or employee? Thanks in advance for any information.
DTS America
Can anyone give me information regarding DTS America?  Do they pay on time?  Do they have plenty of work?  Do they offer flexible scheduling?  I would appreciate any information, good or bad. 
DTS America in TN
The DTS America that I am looking at is in Brentwood, TN also.
DTS America??
Does anyone have any information on DTS America?  Thanks in advance...
DTS America SM
Offers medical effective first of the month following hire, which in my case was three days, as i started on the 28th of the month.

I am not sure if they are hiring currently, but so far I love the company, and the accounts are not too difficult to learn at all
DTS America
I currently work for DTS America and for the most part they are a good company to work for.  The only gripe I have is we still receive our checks by snail mail (which for me means another 3-4 days wait for my check) and the work volume is currently lower than normal, but that happens with any company at times.   
DTS America
Looking for current info regarding DTS America.  I searched archives but most of the info is old.  Pros and cons please.  What platform do they use.  Thank you.
DTS America
I have a friend who has worked there a year and is very happy- makes good money. She is always trying to get me to come to work for them, but I only have dial-up.
