and yes, they have the 12-hour window for acute care MTs however that is for full-time positions only, not for part time.  Hope that helps.

Do you make more than $20.00 per hour at your new job, what where you making when you left transcription, were you doing VR or straight?
Inquiring about ALL TYPE INC sm

Was wondering if anyone had good or bad comments regarding this company?  Would sure appreciate feedback either way ASAP as I am considering applying.  If possible, please put "all type" in subject line if emailing me.  TIA


If you are inquiring because of that job being offered, consider this.
The ad says there are 25 lines per page.  If you divide 1.25 by 25, you'd be making 0.05 per line.  I don't think that is reasonable even if the voice system is very audible. 
inquiring minds want to know.
Does anyone know anything about Transform?
To the MTSOs inquiring on this thread...
I wouldn't worry about what these negative posts say, for many reasons:

... It could easily be just 1 or 2 people who have a bee in their bonnet today; no one knows the true number of posters here

... It could easily be people who are not even MTs but friends/families of MTs or just bored poots looking to cause trouble

... No one, hear me, no one makes any MT work for any company. They are free to leave, are they not?

... I have not had the experiences with MTSOs that these people are talking about; in fact, quite the opposite so I think this is just a group who are probably not even mediocre at this

... Not one of these posters knows what it takes to run an MT business. I do. I had one and it was very successful. They don't know the incredible competition out there. They don't want the full responsibility.

... They are not willing to sign their God-given name to anything. They come here in absolute cowardice and sling their words around but if you ask them to pony up facts and ask who they are talking about and their own ID...nadda. Nadda.

I've done this work a long time, MTSOs. I've even been one. There are always going to be a few low-barrel companies but every line of work has that. For the most part, I see MTSOs on the up-and-up, offering good pay for good work. If an MT is an excellent worker (i.e., keeps the schedule, does the production and has the quality), most MTSOs will do what it takes to keep them.

... Everyone has a price and theirs is too high, in my opinion.

Now, all the naysayers can fire away. Said my opinion. :)

There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm
A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences. 
Fast Chart, TAe software? Inquiring MT needs to know......

I am thinking about signing on with them, but need to know exactly what TAe software is?  More specifically, I am hoping that it does not ruin my Windows XP and my MS Word 2002 already in my computer.  My understanding is that it is a stand-alone software, maybe proprietary?  It is made by Arrendale Associates is all I really know.  Is is user-friendly?


Thanks for any information on this. 


I would call or drop an email inquiring.

Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here

For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.


 


The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world). 


 


This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER. 


 


While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled.  They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure. 


 


I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female.  Or maybe, all TT hires are females? 


 


There were two other cases that really interested me.


 


One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant.  It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009.  They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website.  Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists…  (3) Beware of Traveloscream. 


 


The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!


But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.


 


 


The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company.  The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where.  The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008.  Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc. 


 


So, this could all be over by Christmas.

BEware of Medscribe......... Listen to this.......I've had Susan interviewing and calling me for three months on an Editor position at $17/hr.  Well, after being told I did NOT get the job (even tho I was never tested), she had the nerve to call me back a week later and said the job reopened and she wanted me for it. I tried calling her and leaving messages for three days.  She never returned my calls.  I finally got ahold of her and she had the NERVE to tell me that the original person changed their mind and took back the position?  Did anyone ever hear of this?  So to all of you out there.......stay clear of Susan!!!!
Medscribe
SM, Yes it is all about me....it is about how all of us as potential hires should be treated. Besides, Ms. L did not even test for the QA position.....so the question is, was there really a position????
Medscribe
No, I'm sure she thinks ONLY about what is good for her not caring about how she plays around with other people. Sorry, but I don't have to take this kind of treatment and let her know it.
Medscribe
They're not the only one I've been working with one here in Canada and the same thing. I thought maybe it was me that was wrong but that's what they did too..mind you we got $1.50 to put up with it and work ha work we did or at least me!!!!
Medscribe
What's the story with these people? I tested before Christmas and never heard back (I know I did well).  Today they didn't answer an Email.  Should I keep on truckin'?
MedScribe
Things can change a lot in FOUR YEARS. I cannot imagine they would have been able to keep up that practice and still be around today. Maybe a person should simply ask them about the incident four years ago; you'd have nothing to lose and as an applicant, I would think they would HAVE to tell the truth about it. The problem is sometimes just ONE incident can get out of hand, repeated a little differently, and a different story could come out other than the real story. I'm not saying your friend didn't get paid. I'm just saying NO company could get away with this kind of protocol and still be in business.

anyone have a clue why Medscribe is constantly advertising for MTs?


 


medscribe
I don't know why, but whenever I post about this company it is not able to be found in the archives. I have posted many times about how miserable I was while working there. I didn't trust their line counter but I think worst of all was the way the talked down to me and scolded me for not making line counts which by the way... i normally could do but their accounts are MOSTLY re recorded and very VERY bad ESLs.... on top of a faulty line counter.

Medscribe
I did three weeks with them. Only filling in headers, sent to office where THEY input the macros (which we did not get paid for doing, of course) and I think I averaged about $3 per hr. A friend of mine got stiffed for her paycheck and they got threatened with illegal interstate activity because they were doing their business over state lines via phone. She got her money but it tooks MONTHS. This was a couple of years ago, but I don't think they've changed. Stay away from this place. The owner is a classical jerk.
medscribe

I am interested hearing about your experiences there.  I read the story about the gal who had to sue to get paid, and before I went to work there, I asked about it.  They denied it vehemently, but in the proceeding 4-6 months, I had 2 checks that went missing.  I really do not know if it was the fault of the post office or not, but I was not impressed.  I also am not very impressed by the support system in place at this point, but would rather dish that privately.


I have been considering other employment because I always meet my minimum line count, and my quality scores seem to average in the 98% range, and I rarely take time off, but having only worked for HealthScribe (which I would almost take back right now) and MedScribe, I really don't know  what a good company looks like.  I am pretty specific at this point about what I want in a company, but it seems like they tell you what you want to hear and is not necessarily true. 


Medscribe
Does anyone work for Medscribe and if so, can I get some feedback - considering working with them.  Thanks.
Medscribe NY
thanks
MedScribe?
Anybody working for MedScribe?  If so, how do you like it?

Hope you find out the information that you need.

I would if i did have some!
medscribe NJ
Does anyone have info on medscribe out of NJ?  there seems to be one in Florida but would really like to know if anyone has experience with medscribe in NJ.  Thank you in advance.
medscribe

Wow.  I was just about to apply because their ad sounded good.  I read the archives and realize I sidestepped a mess.  I want to thank all of you for coming together and sharing your experiences so that others are forewarned.


 


medscribe?
Archives stuff is old, old.  Sounds good - 12 hour time period to work. Please, anyone know anything?
MedScribe

MedScribe does only pays between 7 and 7.5 cpl full-time IC.  There is an incentive bonus plan in place (if you are full-time) where if you fullfull all of your line commitments it is another 0.08 cpl, and they will place an additional 0.05 cpl for CMT status. 


MedScribe
A family policy will run you more like $195 per week (dental and vision extra)for the $500 deductable plan.
I like it at MedScribe
So far so good, little over 6 months.  Happy with the line rate and the insurance, my supervisor is very nice too.  They must have added some accounts because I have heard they are hiring right now.  I have not worked for the other 2 companies you mentioned, but did come from a rather big company and I like that I can call MedScribe and reach someone.  Hope that helps.
MedScribe
Hello.  Does anyone know if MedScribe in Jacksonville, FL, is a good company to work for?  Also, on another note, have "they" decided to drop the hypen from "well-developed, well-nourished?"   Thanks.       LLD       
I have been with MedScribe
they have been a fine company to work for.  I liked the training and support from my supervisor is professional.  I also came from a previous company that issued checks, so now having direct deposit is a blessing in my life.  They are OK by me, I hope that helps.  Good luck to you.  Karen.

Anyone willing to share Medscribe's acute care line rate and what their average LPH are working at Medscribe?  Thanks.


 


MedScribe
I started with MedScribe about 7 months ago and so far so good.  They have a 12-hour window to do your work within, but that is for acute care work only I was told.  The sign-on bonus is paid out $100 a pay period once you get out of training and up to speed, so that was nice too.  I have seen emails where they are starting a new hospital account, maybe they are hiring.  Hope that helps. 
Medscribe
Sorry for the confusion.  I should have been more careful before posting.  It is Medscribe, FL. 
MedScribe
I started with them almost a year ago, platform is easy to learn and you can use normals and templates for ERs, plus you are paid for all of them.  I have the healthcare only, did not take the dental or vision as I pay that myself, but the medical is a nice policy. 
MedScribe
Very happy there and like the flexibility.  Hope this helps.
Medscribe FL - please

any relatively recent comments. ** I KNOW** I can search archives, but I would like some fresh input. Thanks in advance.


 


I have been with MedScribe for
I always have work in my account pool, they are super friendly and I like the direct deposit every other Friday.  Big difference from chasing checks where I came from.  I may also add you do not need a second phone line, the platform is all Internet.  Karen.
MedScribe ER
The platform is easy to learn and the training is very good.  I type ERs and they do ask for a schedule, but they worked with my needs and we came up with something that worked for both of us and I am quite happy.  Benefits are about $37 a week and they are good, very low deductable.  Pay is direct deposit and I have had plenty of work, good line count.  I use InstaText and it converted right over so that made me happy too.  Good luck, I hope that helps.
MedScribe
for me, I like the people and my primary gives me a good line count.  Insurance is not too expensive and we get paid vacation and holiday pay.  Good luck in your search. 
MedScribe is 35 hrs

MedScribe IC
I think it is only the IC contracts, we have 20% of our contract on weekends, anytime.  The remainder can be done during the week.  Plenty of work, we have a national account that adds new hospitals and I know they are hiring. Nice people in the Jax office if you ever need help with your computer or anything.
MedScribe FL
Can you tell the usual - good/bad experiences? I appreciate all input. Thanks!
Medscribe FL MTs
Can you tell me if weekend work is required at Medscribe as well as any other info like flexibility with hours, etc? TIA.
