    Spheris? Webmedx?
    Anyone,  need input..Which is better, Spheris or WebMedX? 
    WebMedX/Spheris?
    WebMedX or Spheris?  Both seem about the same with what they have to offer.
    Spheris vs Webmedx - HELP

    Has anyone ever worked for both Spheris and Webmedx and if so, is it truly easier to get a better line count at Webmedx?  The benefits sound better, but the line rate is a little lower.  Any help appreciated.  THANKS!


    1 = MQ 2= Spheris 3=Webmedx

    Spheris and Webmedx
    They both require a deposit that is taken out of your first few checks, and you must keep the box to return the computer when you leave the company.  Don't know if either of them is hiring right now though.
    Spheris/Webmedx
    Close associate used to work for them. Very dissatisfied she moved on to Webmedx where things are even worse. I don't know that any of these companies are worth working for.
    Transcend, Spheris, and OSI used to. Don't know for sure now. Maybe a few others. nm

    Transcend or Webmedx?

    Both seem similar in many ways, but for those of you who may have worked for both at one point (if anyone?), could you please respond?  I have to choose... offers from both.  Thanks.


    Transcend or Webmedx

    Got offered a job at both and would like some input from others out there as to which is the better place.  Thanks in advance!!!!!

    read the archives - these questions keep coming up and there are tons of info on here.
    Transcend vs Medquist vs Spheris

    I could really use some advice.  I'm new here and a relatively new MT.  I'm a CMT with only about 8 months exp.  I accepted a job with Transcend last week with a good cpl rate.  I'm in training now.  I'm a little worried b/c I'm hearing mixed reviews about the company and how they are going to all edit...


    Anyway, Medquist has offered me a job, but the cpl rate is 2 cents less than what Transcend is giving me.  I'm not happy about that.  If you were in my position, would you stay with Transcend or go to Medquist? 


    Also, I got an email today from Spheris that they want to interview me.  I don't know what the cpl rate is yet.  I have heard good things about them.  Should I accept with them? 


    I'm so confused.  I don't want to burn my bridges with Transcend b/c what if they turn out to be a decent company?  I am getting a good rate with them.  But Spheris seems really appealing to me...


    Any advice?? 


    My guess would be MQ, Transcend, maybe Spheris and then I don't know. nm

    Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
    I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time.  I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me.  Blown chance!  I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead.  The test reports were easy enough for me to do.  I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them.  I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule.  I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
    TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, Spheris

    Can anyone give me current information on working as a QA for TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, and Spheris?  Do they pay hourly? How do they test? Employee or IC positions? Workflow? Do they require 100% listen on all reports or are some fill in the blanks?


    Are there any companies you would recommend for a QA position and can you please provide above-requested info?  


    Thank you all for your help and kindness in providing any information possible.


     


    MedQuist, Spheris or WebMedX for Radiology? sm

    Please, anyone who works for or has worked for one (or more) of the these companies transcribing Radiology provide some input.  How are the accounts, the pay, schedule flexibility, benefits, etc?  You can email me, if you prefer.


    Thanks  :->

    Transcend, Spheris, Keystrokes, Softscribe can

    anybody give me the good and bad about these companies, as well as the platforms they use?  I'm thinking about adding on some part-time work to compensate for the lack of work at current MTSO.  I know there are a lot of companies out there, but these four seem to be discussed a lot.  However, it's hard to compare them when you have to jump all around the boards to find out information.  If anybody has other MTSOs besides these four that I should stay away from or definitely submit a resume to, please post that too.

    Who's best all around company; Transolutions, Spheris, Webmedx,Transtech?
    nm
    I left EDiX/Spheris after 8 years there to come to Webmedx. SM
    I moved over here in 2003 because I knew the recruiter and she told me it was a great place to work. She was right. The benefits are fair, the work plentiful, the bosses fantastic, and the QA staff wonderful. Good luck!
    Yeah she's happy. She was a recruiter for Spheris, now for Webmedx.
    nm
    Anyone wonder why Transcend is always hiring and recruiting? Also Webmedx? Do they sm
    have trouble keeping people?
    Which did you like working for--Webmedx, Transcend or Softscript?
    Any opinions? 
    I have worked for MQ, Spheris back when it was Edix, Transcend and OSI. TransTech is by far the bes
    The pay is decent, probably not the highest in the business but not the lowest either. The benefits are good. Pay is always on time. Great bonuses. Great communication and most of all I really like the people and it makes me enjoy being an MT again.
    I've worked for many nationals i.e. Webmedx, MDI-FL, Transcend, etc. and
    I like Medquist the best.
    If recent history (WebMedx, MQ, Acusis, Transcend) is

    I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was

    Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.


    Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
    work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions.  MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris.  Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests.  Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
    Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
    HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
    I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

    What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
    .
    Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

    We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !

    Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
    comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
    If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
    then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
    RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
    Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
    Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
    Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
    My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
    6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked.  Spheris is a  great company.  After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask.  There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of.  I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
    Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
    Nm.
    It is not Transcend. Transcend has not had control of
    the accounts long enough to make any changes to anything. Maybe your account just slowed down like a lot of others did over the last few weeks. Everything will run status quo for a few months before any major changes are implemented. And give Transcend a chance. It is a good place to work and you will finally have some benefits that you will enjoy.
    MQ vs Spheris
    I worked for MQ about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend them. Not enough time to go into it. I understand things may have changed, but I still wouldn't recommend them. From what I've read on boards, they haven't changed.

    I've been with Spheris for almost three months now and I really like it. I'm making good money working Mon-Fri and I'm not getting hounded by a supervisor for petty stuff. I enjoy working for Spheris. I say, give them a try!
    Spheris is

    Spheris is hiring for all shifts, PT and FT, acute and clinic.  I've been with them for about a year now and am really happy there, after having worked for 2 other nationals that I didn't have such great experiences with.

    I'd be happy to pass your resume along to a recruiter, if you'd like, or answer any questions you have.  My email is carasoffice@yahoo.com.


    Good luck!


    Spheris...
    They tell everyone that - not to say you are not a good MT.  But I was too, but when I reapplied, they said no - I think because all their new Spheris management is installed now, the ex-Edix management is probably gone (except those who fit in with the new regime), and they just don't want to be bothered with ex-Edix people.  Just my theory.  At any rate, plenty of us have posted on this board, so it is obvious that most if not all of us are not being rehired.
    Try Spheris. NM

    Spheris
    TO: MTMQ... Why are YOU making this business? Are you the board monitor. It's none of your business what anyone Or when anyone posts on this board.
    Spheris
    And just how they going to get anyone's identity on here. What she is doing is NOT dishonest, It's smart because even if they do find out, she has another job to cover herself. BusyMT'ing is diong the right thing by protecting Her interests, which you have to do in this dog-eat-dog MT world. My hats off to you BusyMT'ing. You go girl. And if you really think about every MT company is competition for another MT company no matter how you look it. If one is independent, no company has any say what you do.. IC is the way to go. More pay and you answer to no one but yourself...
    Yes, we will see. Spheris has only
    acquired one company. Spheris was formed with the merger of Total eMed and EDiX. So, Spheris itself has only made one acquisition - HealthScribe/Acivis.

    I think they have to get this acquisition settled before buying anything else and when/if they do make another purchase, I think it will be more global oriented, not US-based like MQ is. That is strictly my perspective.
    OSI or Spheris
    My husband came home on Friday and said he was going to be laid off soon.  I am still trying to accept this and what it means to our family budget.  I got a job offer from Spheris and OSi to begin in their mentor programs.  I am really lost and don't know which would be better for my family.  Please everyone give me the heads up on both companies.   I know Spheris offshores, but have plenty of work.  OSI seems to be running out of work.  Which program should I choose.  Both recruiters tell me their companies have plenty of work.  HELP
