    offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.

    LOL, I have to laugh, as I just lost my acct to Spheris Global (India). nm

    Yes clinic notes go to Cameo India

    Clinic accounts going to India or SR, that doesn't

    Only thing Focus has in US is payroll & recruiter. All mgmt., IT & acct. operations in India. nm

    So, they told you that they are not sending Ochsner Clinic, etc. offshore and you believe them?

    They offshore to India.
    MQ is a large company & is most definitely not secure for US MTs. They've already reduced their number of US MTs drastically & are sending more accounts every day to India. Cbay eventually laid off ALL US MT and QA employees. Bigger does not mean more secure. The bottom line is that if a company will stoop to offshoring work to India, they don't care about patient safety or the welfare of their employees. We all have to do what we have to do, and if that means no other choice than working for a company like that, then that's part of it. But there are companies out there who don't offshore, and I feel nothing but resentment for companies that do.
    They offshore to India, if that bothers you.
     
    plus I understand they offshore to India...
    at least that is what they told me when I interviewed with them a few years ago.
    All India, all the time... 99% goes offshore. nm

    They offshore...not about abuot India, but definitely to the Phillipines....

    offshore (out of country) to India ... not outsource.

    Focus doesn't offshore to India, they are an Indian company
    that offshores to the U.S.  They have an office front in MA, I think.

    My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
    starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
    Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I

    How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...

    I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion.  Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more?  Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day.  I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid.  I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care.  I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do.  I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work.  I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too.  Any suggestions?


    Two are hospitals, one is a clinic. The biggest one is a clinic that only does sm
    oncology. We cannot post account names here and do not give out that information until confidentiality forms are signed.

    I can tell you that a very, very large oncology hospital will be starting on March 1st that will need 30+ transcriptionists to run smooth.
    offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.
    nm
    This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

    India, Michael. The MT world is going to India. Wonder why? nm

    RAD ACCT
    It is probably true because it is a radiology account.

    which acct
    which account are you currently working on, or you would say is a bad one. Thanks
    What acct
    What acct do you work on? If you are on BeyondTxt T mode there is no work. I don't know how you girls who need benefits are paying for them.
    acct
    Thanks for replying. The problem is I did have my own account and they decided not to pay me for over a month and because I said something about not being paid they took offense. SO what can you do. Its a win-lose situation. Now I just have to hope that the check clears!
    KS Onc acct
    If you are working on the KS onc acct please email me.
    FN New acct
    Are we talking about the new acct with the 1 million lines?.  What a joke.  I'm lucky to do 500 lines a day and that is only by working on 3 different accts.  And I found out the new acct will be going to VR, which I don't do.  I'm a transcriptionist, not an editor.
    KS acct

    Do you know which acct you would be working on?


    If it were your acct, you would already know.
    They don't keep it a secret. One of mine, large hospital on the East Coast, is leaving today. I've known for at least a month. They chose not to renew their contract with us. It happens.
    .06 OB acct
    I felt the same way, ladies. In fact, I recently went from a .0725 (knocked down from 0.825) GROSS LINE ACCT to a .06 transcription rate acct with HORRIFIC docs - worst I've had since starting ne.arly 23 years ago. I was offered VR (with even worse docs, so basically re-typing it ALL) for .02 cpl.

    I guess you can understand why I'm on the job hunt
    Is this a rad acct and do they have openings? (nm)
    xx
    I loved that acct too....
    Typical M-Q then one day it just vanished.
    my acct has about 80-90% ESLs
    my back up account is worse. 
    That seems like it could be true, my acct is So Cal
    and most of the patients are not Caucasian or are ethnic (is that PC?), as well as the dictators.
    Same here, about 40-50 regular drs on my acct, with
    probably 10 of them being so awful, I can hardly attempt them. I'm happy to say that some I hated at first are now ones I enjoy, so hopefully I will keep finding that to be the case. Others though, UGH!
    No, DRC is not really "atrocious acct" but... sm
    It is NOT easy stuff... My experience has been lots of cutting-edge oncology in all specialties. If you don't know your stuff you'll be researching more than typing. Very few ESLs and, yes, the platform is Word-based, and, no, no need to be a computer wiz--tech support is great at DRC and so is QA support.
    Your radiology acct
    Are you working certain hours/days/evenings and are you working weekends?  What is holiday pay per report?
    Your radiology acct
    Do you have a lot of ESL docs?
    TT onco acct

    Can't you get a backup account?  That's what I did.  They are not all slow at the same time, usually.  I get better count on onco acct than on my other.


    Well I was doing VR for an acct at 1.80 report. sm
    They cut pay to 3.5 to 5.5 cents per line under the manager I was under. I know a lot of people left. Just curious as to if any are here on this board.
    Ortho acct
    i have been offered ortho, which i have a great deal of experience. How much would you say per hour you make at 7.5 WI spaces. I really have a lot of quesstions and if possible would like to e-mail you direct. Also can the ShortHand program be used
    I know which acct you are talking about but (sm)
    trust me (or not) there are TONS of work on others, one I know FOR SURE.  Have you asked for a backup??
    what acct?...email me....nm

    I always get a mix, no matter which acct I am on.

    Just how EZ is it to get off of the DI entry acct

    Anyone starting new with KS on hem/onc acct? nm
    nm
    That really depends on your acct, even now. nm
    .
    Did you think to ask about acct specifics?
    What you think might look better and what the client requires are two different things.  Often when a client receives expansions that they specifically ask NOT to be done, they go back to the client and yell and in some instances ask for a credit.  The transcription company isn't going to take the chance if the specifics are that rigid.  As for the name of the facility - I'd think you could just ask?
    Depends on your acct - sm
    I have 12-hr window to get in 8 hour shift but I know others on accounts that require stricter schedules. Flex hours are pretty much okay here.
