I believe Transolutions does for 32 hours
nm
Transolutions offers benefits at 32 hous/wk
nm
Transolutions I believe considers 32 hours full-time...nm

Transolutions? Anyone know how good their medical insurance benefits are, costs, etc..specifically
family coverage. They say you only have to work 32 hours to be eligible so I'm curious what their benefits are like. Thanks
MQ does and Webmedx has benefits for 35 hours. Bet there are more 2. nm
.
So a FT MT who needs their hours for benefits should sacrifice for you? sm
Who already has a job somewhere else? Gee, thanks.
MQ requires 24 hours per week for PTO benefits.nm.

This thing about working 40 hours for benefits is garbage.
So if I do my usual 20,000 lines a pay period but only work 30 hours, I lose my benefits, but a newbie who takes 40 hours to do 12,000 lines gets benefits? This is insane. I've enjoyed working for MedQuist, but between this lousy new platform and stinking corporate rules, I've had it. My notice goes in next week, and I'm going back to school this quarter to become a P.A.

P.S. Exact same hours of my choice, benefits, etc,, Good luck All!!....NM
ps
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.

That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer  to send theirs back.


 


Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)

Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that. 


 


the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Meridian and Transolutions.. ESPECIALLY Transolutions
xx
Must we choose either 8, 16 or 24 hours. Why would they want someone only working 8 hours a week.
That is less than SE are required now.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm

10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.
x
You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
That's exactly what I was going to say. Yes, I work at least 12 hours a day, sometimes 15 hours
to get all of my line count in because I have so many interruptions in my day.  There is no way I would tell my company this nor expect them to pay me OT that they never asked you to do. Unless, I was called by my supervisor and asked to work extra for OT, I would never just take it upon myself to work and expect to be paid.  If you were not authorized to work OT, then your not getting paid. Point blank. I do not work at TT, but I have worked at enough jobs, at home as an MT and otherwise outside of home, that all have the same policy, your paid OT when your asked to work it. It's it is just a case of not being able to get your required line count in 8 hours, then maybe your in the wrong profession or possibly just the wrong company/account for you. This just seems bizarre to me. Just tell yourself, your not getting paid for OT because they aren't approving it so don't work it. Again, if you were asked to work OT, told it would be OT, and then they ask you not to record it, I'd pitch a fit, but from what I see, you've done this on your own.
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i
.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.

Transolutions
I have been with Transolutions for over 2-1/2 years and cannot speak highly enough about them. They have stuck with me thru thick and thin due to personal health issues; I am averaging $18-$20 an hour; the medical insurance is the best I've ever had; they spend time and money helping MTs get proficient and productive and grow in their careers, etc. They are offering a referral bonus through September 21 for anyone I refer and is hired. If you are considering this company, please drop me a line, and I'll answer all your questions. I would appreciate the opportunity for the referral. Thanks! Donna The website is www.transolutions.net
Transolutions...

Well, my dear, MQ has thousands of MTs, some of whom have been there over 10 years - but it doesn't sound like they do anything right!!!!!!! 


If that company is a good fit for you, more power to you.  But, just because someone else didn't like them doesn't mean it was a "personality conflict" or "Degree of professionalism" issue. 


If you really want referrals, you might try being a little less condescending. 


Transolutions
If anyone is working for this company, please email me and tell me what it is like to connect with them, etc.  thanks
Transolutions
Been there almost 2 years - very happy. I am former MQ'r, always astounded when MQ/Spheris types say they think there is no better place to work than those 2 crap companies. Transolutions has paid time off, (I'm part-time and accrue hours). They have paid holidays off -- you will be required to work holidays and alternate, i.e. you work July 4, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day one year, then the next you work New Year's Day, Labor Day, Christmas -- I may have mixed them up, but in any event, you get paid holiday/bonus for working holidays, they PROVIDE your equipment even if you're part time, they reimburse your phone line, they have you set it up with a specific phone company -- I forget its name. But they do pay it. If you are FT, they have health, dental, I believe life ins. They will reimburse for AAMT CMT exam after you pass it (Full time). Also, referral bonus if you recommend someone and they get hired. Discounts on all reference books/materials you buy through them (I think 40%), you have mandatory 1 weekend day with weekend shift differential, and that's just off top of my head. Oh, cash bonuses on your anniversary every year you are with them, which go up each year. Their standards are higher than anyplace I've ever worked, but that is a good thing. I think quality should count for more than it does with previously mentioned MTSOs. I think you would like them. Oh, and PAID training for 1 week before you actually start first official paid day with them. A guaranteed line rate during probationary period. Also, plenty of work. Also, you are considered FT at 32 hrs/wk which means you are eligible for full complement of bennies. Let folks say Spheris, MQ are as good as it gets -- that just means more GOOD MT/MLS jobs for the enlightened among us! Go for it!
Transolutions QA

 


I just left the company for various reasons, but I did take umbrage with the recent QA changes.  I have been an MT for less than a year.  The lowest QA score I received was a 95, and I was horrified at that.  It does make me feel a bit better to know a person with 20 years experience was having a tough time, too.


Transolutions

Transolutions..Thank you..sm
In spite of the fact that I quit them after 3 weeks, they did pay me the signon bonus. I appreciate that!
Transolutions

Does anyone have any information on Transolutions?  I remember a while back hearing that the platform was a little outdated.  Has that changed at all?  Any other opinions?


TIA! 


Transolutions
The platform is not a little outdated, it is a lot outdated! The office staff treat you like you are in kindergarten. Also, the benefits are good but are very expensive. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.
Transolutions

Is anyone working for Transolutions who has been affected by the recent change to QA guidelines, on-hold percentages, and possible resultant lower pay?


Transolutions QA
Yes, I have been affected. It is scaring me. I have been a 98%, 99% employee for 5 years and now I feel like I am under the gun. Also, have you been having a problem with no work? The place has not been the same since Cynthia Jones left.
Transolutions QA
Yes, I am being affected by lower pay. It is very demoralizing. I am thinking of going back to school, because transcription has become a dead end job.
same here for Transolutions
I am experiencing the same thing. In all of their mailed info about this they said the AAMT standard calls for a higher percentage of documentation to be reviewed for more accuracy for QA. My last QA (93%) was TWO reports. That sure isn't a higher percentage. With the higher standards, of course your QA would go down. Plus, don't they use that current QA score for more than one pay period? Accurate and fair tracking of all of this seems impossible to me. There are other companies out there. I know that loss of 3 weeks paid vacation is lousy. You would be starting over, but maybe it would be worth it to work for a company with an established history of consistency in their guidelines, etc. My pay was way down from what it was also. Does not seem fair to me. Have you emailed, written and called? Does it do any good??
Transolutions
The thing that worries me is the changes in personnel. I have had 3 or 4 different QA people in the last couple of months. People seem to be coming and going. This last time I had a great QA, the time before that it was 96%. I was QA'd on a secondary account I am not all that familiar with. The response from the personnel who answer the phones is not very nice sometimes, either.
Transolutions
I agree. Nice people, but not worth it.
Transolutions does

Some of their accounts require DSL now.  I think most are in the process of switching over to that as a matter of fact.  May be some old-timers on old accounts still on the old system though.
Transolutions
Does anyone have info on Transolutions, especially doing Radiology reports?  Do they calculate pay for Radiology reports with lines or per report?  Also, is it difficult to meet QA standards?  TIA
Does Transolutions? (nm)

don't plan on making a fortune. I know there are those who will say they do but you'd better be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort into it to do that.
Transolutions
Nerve-wracking experience to me. Had 11 yrs experience when I started with them,now working for another much less stressful MTSO (16 yrs).In addition to binders described, they mandate you read their bi-weekly, lengthy and -- sorry, can you say B-O-R-I-N-G -- medical newsletter in your downtime (JMHO. Way more info than most MTs need or want re: MT bios (who cares how **Jane** who lives in Indiana got into MT work or who her role models are), but more pertinently there was medical info that went way beyond what is relevant to MT'g -- which I know some may find interesting. I found keeping up with mounds of acct. specifics to pore over, company style guidelines, newsletter in downtime, and reviewing corrected reports also in your downtime could be stressful, time-consuming and,in the end, up to you if it's worth it. Very rigid chain-of-command. Don't mistakenly ask wrong person a question, you will be referred to the RIGHT person -- if you can keep track of who they are -- with the admonishment not to ask wrong person again (Let lightning flash and thunder clap here. You may thrive on it. If you have a life outside of MTing, look elsewhere. If you love MTing so much that doing it in off-hours is a privilege for you, go for it. This was case when I worked there -- so can't say what it's like now. Sorry, know post is long -- you wanted detailed experience -- here you are!
Transolutions
My thread was deleted.  I guess it was because it was on the Main Board instead of the Company Board, so I'm trying again.  I was inquiring about how things are currently at Transolutions.  Yes, I did a search on prior threads.  I had heard that they discontinued providing equipment and paying for downtime.  That is a biggie for me as having no work is no excuse for not paying my bills.  Anyone know? Thanks! 
Transolutions sm
Hard to meet line count.
TRANSOLUTIONS, SORRY!
TRANSOLUTIONS!!!! Any info, please!
Transolutions
Anyone know if they've updated their platform?  I always read that it was pretty outdated?  Also wondering about starting rate of pay, benefits, etc.  Sounds like they offer good time off.  Thanks!
Transolutions, Inc.
So many positives to being employed with Transolutions, I cannot begin to tell you. Would strongly encourage experienced, quality-focused MLSs to apply.
Transolutions
I know you were asking about another company, but if you haven't found one yet, I'd like to recommend Transolutions. This company has more to offer than any I have worked for in the past. Also, they pay very, very well. You get PTO, one week of sick time, 3 days of personal time. Their benefits are the cheapest of the companies I've worked for in the past. Training is very thorough. The President of the company himself of the company has bimonthly conference calls with the MTs. They're very friendly and professional. I HIGHLY recommend this company. They want you to make a lot of money at this company and will recognize your quality and expertise.
Try Transolutions
