What's bogus?

They most certainly do offshore. And aren't shy about admitting it (though if the actual amount they admit to is correct is anybody's guess).

QA Bogus
I don't know what company you work for, but I work doing QA for 2 different companies and each of them bases the 98% accurancy on 500 lines of transcription, not by report.  Then depending on the error it is rating anywhere between 0.25 deduction and a 3 point deduction depending on where it falls in affecting patient care.  If your company is basing it on report rather than lines, maybe, just maybe, you are working for the wrong company.
That is a flat out bogus lie.
First, they don't have to give ANY reason and can let you go -- it's called employment-at-will and it's how virtually every state in this union operates.

Second, working "off the clock" is NOT FREE LABOR for MQ. They are still paying you. You simply are not eligible to receive benefits. You also have advantages such as not having to follow any certain schedule and not having to work any certain number of hours...only a line count minimum to make per payperiod. There are pros and cons of both.

While both types of positions work in conjunction with one another to help MQ function, it is the employee position (NOT the SE positions) that give them their greatest strength.

Get over your rotten attitude and stop spreading lies.
It'd be a different story if the CMT were not a bogus,
fake 'credential' dreamt up by a coupla women with a get-rich-scheme in mind, not the betterment of the MT industry. It a CMT were worth getting, that's one thing. But it's not, and the money people are paying this organization to send them phoney 'certification' initials is going right into siphoning American work out of America and straight to other countries. And that has served only to make it nearly impossible to make a decent living as an MT in America anymore. If you think that's cool, then by all means, give 'em your hard-earned money and have at it. But do so knowing you're contributing to what will ultimately be the end of this profession in America if AHDI/AAMT isn't thoroughly investigated, and preferably stopped.
QA is bogus -just hear me out
I have a huge beef with the entire MT industry and here it is. You are basically saying that you have to have 98% QA right? But do you know how this works? It is not actually 98% It is 1 point or 2 points or whatever for a report. This can be 10 lines or 1000 lines. Of course the longer the report, the more chance you will make an error. If this were any other business, the workers would not put up with this type of QA but for some reason MTs do not notice how unfair this is. If QA wants to fail you, all they have to do is give you long reports.If they want to pass you easily, just give you short reports and tell you ahead of time you will be in QA that week - so be careful. Thanks for letting me get this out of my system. It is a cruddy way to QA folks and we should not put up with it -- but --- we do.
That's the company's bogus answer
I work every Saturday 10a-2p and come back and do 10p-2a. On Sundays, I usually do a fairly similar schedule. I have primary responsibility for two hospital accounts, one a very large teaching hospital and the other a mid-size community hospital. I could count one hand the number of STATs I get from both hospitals either day, and even that would be a really busy STAT day for the pair. For whatever reason, you want to buy into management's BS, but the only person you're fooling is yourself.
Anyone knows phone # starting with 555 is bogus
Give me a break. This is used in both movies, commercials and the like.
I was wondering if those might be bogus posts
Stranger things have happened in this business.
The school is a BUSINESS and the bogus pay scale is ADVERTISING
It's called free enterprise. How could anyone believe such a claim? You've gotta be kidding me.
So you're sending out bogus INTEREST LETTERS?
As another MT who just got a we're very interested letter and questionairre, I have to say,

PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!

You've wasted my time.

So Webmedx is just another crock of bull MTSO lying to potential employees.

Why am I not surprised?

Disgusting!
Test dictations are often bogus and not true voice files from the company. Need to ask. nm
