Webmedx is a reputable company; not sure why you are worried but thought you might like to know I received my deposit without a single problem.

Deposit on computer/not returned
I had a laptop from them and when they returned my deposit it was minus $150 nonrefundable deposit which I had not been informed of when I requested a laptop.  Had I known that my full deposit would not be refunded, I would not have requested one.  I agree with the post about working 12 hours a day whether there was work or not and even if there was work, it took that long just to get in your 7 or 8 hours of actual typing time.  It was a nightmare.
Spheris requires $250 deposit, which is returned to you when

Webmedx equipment deposit question...sm
I recently have given notice at Webmedx and am wondering if I'll ever actually see the $125 deposit I had to pay when I started for the computer. Anyone out there ever have any trouble getting it refunded?
Left Webmedx and have yet to see computer deposit
Has anyone out there left Webmedx and had their computer deposit returned? I returned the computer on 8/22 and have not heard anything since. All the phone numbers at the Operations Center in PA go straight to voicemail. Any ideas?
WEBMEDX - NO RETURN ON COMP DEPOSIT - 3 MONTHS

It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet.  I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago.   I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc.   NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition.   (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5). 


Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work.  I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me).   This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service.   HORRIBLE!!


Webmedx supplies computer. You pay a deposit out a few paychecks. Not much.
Don't remember exact amount. You're supposed to get it back when you quit. Good luck. You have to be full-time (40 hr/week).
Returned after a decade away from MT
I was in my own house and the div was proceeding. Now, I needed a job. Had been an MT from age 19 to 33 years of age. Only made sense to return since I had no other skills that could earn me a decent income. MQ and QA got me back here.


Something is fishy if the email is returned and you
respond directly to the one sent to you. I would just forget trying to contact them. It sounds too strange.
It isn't a solution after you've already returned
the computer.  I was glad to get rid of it, but I want my money. 
Seascript - anyone get returned e-mail
xx
If you send an email and it is not returned as (sm)
undeliverable, would you kindly pass the email on to me? Mine just came back as undeliverable. Hmmmmm. Feeling not to sure about this place......

Thanks in advance.
That's not true. There are other accounts that have returned. sm
Possibly you no longer work there? Because otherwise you would know that a client who left to try another major transcription company has since returned in full force with a full contract, as has another. Also, a current client has recently signed on more clinics. There is a LOT of work now.
One client went to India, did it 2 weeks and then returned. sm
The quality was so bad they considered it a lesson learned. So they came back and then gave us even more work than we had before. They called it a lesson learned.
I applied, tested, returned my paperwork and NOTHING.. no followup ...NOTHING

Disorganization is my number 1 pet peeve and reason for NOT going any further with a company. I used my time to apply and test and fax paperwork back so you'd think they could have done their part and at least followed up. I could even assume that maybe they didn't get my paperwork, that does happen with fax machines, but you would have thought someone would have emailed, called, something to ask where it was. I would not accept a position with a company like that. My thoughts are this....if they are so unorganized that they cannot receive the paperwork and get you going, then am I sure that I will get my checks on time and that they will not get ignored or put aside. So, for me, I'd give them a thumbs down.


Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..

How much is deposit?TIA NM

$300 deposit is exactly
the reason I didn't accept their offer. Signing an agreement is sufficient IMO



Now there is a $300 deposit. nm

Deposit
Still with Webmedx but took forever when I left Spheris! It did come, though - guess it had to go through the channels.
Regarding Deposit

There are no rental fees, only a deposit.  This deposit is returned upon receipt of a working computer.


Deposit
I am not sure how long it will take, as the computers are normally shipped ground and may have been delayed because of the holidays.  Contact the office and verify they have received the computer.  At that time, they can also give you a status on the deposit. 
deposit
It took longer for mine because I had moved and the address was not updated. But, from what the paperwork said, the check was sent within a week of receiving it. It took me 8 weeks to get it because of the wrong address. Hope this helps! :)



No there's no deposit. nm

It's a DEPOSIT
It is refundable when/if you leave the company.  It is for the whole computer to include the tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, software and footpedal.
Yes they do, for a deposit fee. NM

How much was the deposit?
all about the deposit, and 9 months later I still don't have it back!  I'll be calling them first thing in the morning.
$300 deposit and $50 per pay?
Who pays to work for a company? That's ridiculous. There are plenty of companies out there that don't make you rent their equipment. They probably own that equipment and software free and clear. Think about how much money they are making off each Transcriptionist just for using their equipment.

Sorry to vent but this is one of my pet peeves. Without transcriptionists, they wouldn't be making any money at all. Greedy, greedy, greedy.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm

Regard deposit
The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.
I have direct deposit.
I love the platform. It is proprietary software but very VERY user friendly. The staff is great and I really do enjoy it here. And I am serious -- make your own opinion. One or 2 bad apples don't outweigh a couple of hundred happy campers. Our insurance is great -- there is sick leave, holiday, PTO .. it's pretty dang good.
Direct deposit. SM
I just filled out a form for my bank on Monday to have another type of payment set up for direct deposit. So, there's obviously something very, very wrong here.

Good luck.
They pay be direct deposit
Good luck with getting the phone answered.  Does their manager not have a number to call?
Yes, they do have direct deposit. nm

Direct deposit
She has direct deposit now. I even got paid a few days early last week.
No direct deposit
Today is payday and direct deposit not there, still waiting for reason. Apparently ADP problem, not TTS, but still!
DIRECT DEPOSIT`

I DID sign up for direct deposit.  However, they lost all of my paperwork and paid me as a vendor!!  NOT good!!! 


Direct deposit

I live 20 miles from them, and it took 4 to 5 days to get my check.  The postmark was a timely manner.  A lot just depends on the volume of mail going from whereever they mail the checks from.


They just did start direct deposit for IC's about a month or 2 ago.  I LOVE IT!!!!


I have direct deposit
My pay is in my account every other Saturday bright and early. They have never been late and never messed up my pay. I think if you don't have DD it arrives the middle of the week.
Correct. It is a deposit. -- nm

I had to pay $300 deposit, they take $50 out of each paycheck, sm
it is supposed to be refundable
The deposit is in $50 increments, too. sm

After seeing some of the posts today on the board, I just don't understand some MTs.  They come on here complaining about their company for various reasons.  Then, when they are told about actual GREAT companies, they seem to whine about a deposit or state things that are totally not true about a company they know nothing about.


I have been with Axolotl for 2 years.  During this time frame, I can never complain about being without compensation or really lack of work.  They pay great, their benefits are great, the platform is great and management is great.


So, if any MTs are looking for that kind of company, then you should look at Axolotl or you can just be content with your situation and not complain about it.


Direct Deposit?
Can you get your money direct deposited? That's what I do, works great.
You will be charged more than your deposit
The software on a computer is more than the deposit itself. 
Computer deposit
This is not a deposit, it is an ongoing monthly charge to use their equipment. 
Do they do direct deposit? nm

Direct Deposit
I don't know what's going on either. Mine is ALWAYS in the bank on Friday morning, however, when I banked at another bank before this one it was always in there on Saturday morning. This has got me confused. Seems like they would at least have let us know. Hope I don't have some stuff bouncing. I live from payday to payday with as many kids as I have.
I got my direct deposit sm
It was there when I just checked it this morning. Just thought I would give you guys the heads up.
DD's usually go in after 7 a.m. on the day of deposit; please check again.

Has anyone gotten a straight answer about direct deposit, if/when it will be started again? 
Don't they have direct deposit?
