i could do 2500 to 3000 on ER too
You have life in the easy lane... ER docs, the same 10-20 at most day in and day out.. Try basic 4 with antiquated platforms (meditech) and 2000-5000 dictators to try and get a handle on.
2500 deductible
Does this still have the 2500 deductible? Doesnt pay copays to doctor visits either?
I use DOS Meditech and get 2500 lines per day. sm
Use your Expanders for everything. Once you are used to it, it is as easy or even easier to get lines as any other program out there.

2500 to 3000 a month is not unreasonable. SM
I do about 2000-2500. It depends on the work type. I like OP notes (if I am fortunate enough to get them). ERs would be nice too, but haven't done those in years. I work for MQ.
I have made $2500-3000 for a national, but....
I have to work seven days a week 12-15 hours a day to do that and end up having no life and no benefits. I am giving this up and going to work for a local hospital. I know that at first I will not make the same, but it is worth it to me to go to work for 8 hours and be done instead of dragging it out up to 15 hours a day and not making that much less. Actually, over 8 hours in a hospital I do make more than working 8 hours at home. It makes me tired and grouchy and my family is tired of me being at home like that. I feel so much pressure every day trying to make a decent line count and it just takes too long. I want to get a life..
Anyone see the $2500 signon bonus with eSmartMed? Do you

Just curious.


I wrote to the address MS McNair gave but got an autoresponder telling me she is out on vacation and if I need help to contact my account manager or supervisor.  LOL


I wrote to point out the NUMEROUS spelling errors on their website.


I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
$2500 gross a month working for a national

Notice the "up to $2500" - sounds like a catch - be careful with this one
nm
is the deductible for insurance still 2500 bucks w/ no copay for doc visit?
That is the sole reason I quit. That and the fact they switched me from account to account as soon as I started making a decent line rate with one.

They also have the ability to slow down how fast you can download files. They slipped and told me that it was to help control traffic on the server.
Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.

Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.

The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.


Two of us out the door ! .... sm

I did it !  And so did another MT who worked on the same account. We sent our resumes out a few weeks ago without saying a word.  We both got "several" offers from companies with good reputations.  We were hired by different companies but with pretty much the same positives.  My company is a mid-sized MTSO, USA all the way, have accounts that have no interest in VR (first time I ever said thank God for ESL's) and treat their MTs with respect.  Hey, I'll take it!  No company is perfect (neither am I). It'll take some time to get adjusted.  But at least I know I'm not slaving away only to have a knife plunged in my back.  Read all these posts over and over until your frustration turns to anger.  You deserve better.  Go for it!


I'm on my way out the door

I just started a new job this week and can't believe the difference.  MQ treats you like a slave and it's only getting worse.  I've worked for MQ for 10 years and the last 2-3 years have been all downhill. 


I, too, though rely on my income (it's not monopoly money), which is why I'm still with them but part-time and soon to be PT flex.  I just wanted to make sure my new job is the right job for me and to give myself a chance to get my line count up.


As for the new company, better pay, straight transcription, 1 account which is loaded, and less supervision.  No E-time - I hate that thing. 


I never really thought about looking for another job until the last year or so and didn't realize there were so many options.  Having done 5 years of acute care at the Q has been well worth the effort. 


Go ahead - take the plunge! Send your resumes out and, like the other poster said, research your companies to find what you are looking for.  Not everyone has the same needs (for me, I don't need benefits, just good pay and flexibility).  There's a company out there that's right for you and you'll find it in no time! 


I too am on my way out the door...

switched from part time to part time flex, got another job making 3.5 cents more per line with a fabulous account and a great platform.  Who could ask for more?


Was with MQ for over 7 years, and am not happy with the direction the company is heading. 


Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.....nm

Don't let the door hit ya on your way out.
Maybe you could go down to South America and b*tch at those people for working for a dollar a day.

Hey, if we take up a collection can we ship you to India? I'm sure there are some of you people (as you like to call us) who are doing whatever work they can get a hold of to feed their children. Maybe you can cruise down in your gas-guzzler - ya know - since you don't have a job and all - and remind them how stupid they are for working for a living.

Yeah. That'd be great.
You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them.  1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines.  Something is wrong with their line counting.
If you read their ads, you see that they are XP and 2000 only. sm
I spoke to KS a few weeks ago and was told that they do not accept satellite or VISTA. I have both :(

I think In Shock should concentrate on fixing the situation or moving on rather than continuing on and on here. The people she is angry with probably don't bother with these boards. They have other fish to fry. I know that I read these posts for entertainment when bored, but if I want real information, I go to the source.

Give it up and move on or figure out a way to work with them. If they do read these, I am sure they can figure out who you are and would not even want you at this point if you are just going to keep harping on it.

There are other companies out there that might use VISTA, but I have not seen many.

Have you tried talking to the person who you say told you this? On reading your post, I could not tell.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you?  That's amazing!!  By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day

for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Usually averaged over 2000 per day, but
why do you ask?
Revolving door?
Does Heartland have a revolving door?  In the past few months on this board, I've read about people being fired, including their president.
Uhhh...Just don't go next door....;)
nm
Its a revolving door
There ad is always up for MT's.
If it seems like a revolving door, SM
I'm sure it is.  As far as wanting your boss available to you...for what?  I'm not sure I understand the need for that.  You log on when it's time to begin your shift, you do the work that comes to you and you log off.  When I worked for them, I might have talked to my supervisor once every couple of months or so.  My quality stats came in the mail, my check was direct deposited and I had no need to discuss anything with the supervisor.
revolving door. NM
x
I'd be out the door in a heartbeat.

I see that open door

Yeah, I'll just get in line behind 10 former teammates that just got the ax, all the MDI'ers looking for a new gig, and locally, the 450 people whose plant just closed.  Once I get through that crowd, I can then compete with my current teammates who are also looking for a second job/replacement job because they are eyeying the open door too, in between competing with one another for work.


Once I claw my way through the desperate crowd of job seekers and into another job, I can wait a year or so, run across the same scenario at the next company, and start looking for work again when their work pool mysteriously dries up.


Or I could just blow my brains out and avoid repeating this loathesome, demoralizing cycle for the next 20 years until I'm retirement age.  Thanks for helping me ponder my options.


Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital

oh my god that work rocked!  It was 95% normals and work was plentiful.  Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report.  Ka-ching! 


Ahhhh...the salad days.  I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.


Now I'm all bummed again.  Where did I put that cheesecake....


 


at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
Does anyone know why MB was shown the door at Interpro? nm
:}
Uh, not too many people because the door didn't
All that is left are the newbies who don't know any better. They meekly wonder why they don't have any work to do but don't have enough experience to work for a real company so they twiddle their thumbs while their work is sent overseas. Nobody in their right mind would be happy there unless they have trampled on people on the way to the top.
I think they still have revolving door management.

Thanks for this. I feel like if I could get my foot in the door,

Heartland in the US was just a ruse to get them in the door...sm
I have watched the company for a long time.  They took over the Kansas City Accounts and also Hawaii accounts I used to work saying they were an American Company because they are stationed here and offered us QA jobs to train the Indians (I think not).  It was just a matter of time before they trained enough of them and had enough clients they would move it all over there.  What is sick about this is that most Americans do not know their social security numbers and personal information are going in the middle of the terrorist lands!
The American QA is out the door too. they are using their MEs from India
to do the QA on the foreign based MT and the MEs suck just as bad as the MTs do.
Anyone know how to get a foot in the door @ TransTech
I have read a lot of great things about them, and would love to know if anyone knows how to get a foot in the door. I just went to their site and submitted an application, but haven't done the testing yet.

I have over 5 years of MT experience, and am sick and tired of working for crappy companies that have late paychecks and run out of work! :( I want to get somewhere and get comfortable!
Webmedxr laying by the door
looking out the window....waiting for work...waiting for work....waiting for work...
My company was practically next door to JLG. They

stopped our 401K, then stopped our direct deposit, then they lost all their big accounts and we all lost our jobs. 


I'm definitely groping for the Exit door!
