Any new info on Cobb Transcription? sm

They are hiring IC's for VR editing and also for transcription.  I am thinking of giving my hands a rest and doing editing.


Info is appreciated!


COBB
I took the test too and thought it was ridiculous. They told me to come back in 6 months, which I never did.
cobb
thanks.  I very much appreciate it.   for now I'm looking for parttime to supplement my full time.  Maybe I should look into it and see if anything has changed!
Cobb experience
I concur - very good (non-national) company to work for as an IC.  Pay was decent, always on time, and owner friendly and professional to work with.  The only reason I left was for a career change; otherwise, I would have stayed there as long as possible. 
Anyone with information on Cobb? Thank you. NM

Cobb or *CMT* company info, anyone?
x
I sympathize with you, but did you bother to contact Cobb and talk to them about it?
y
Any info on these companies? Fenton, TRX, Metro (in Georgia), Cobb, etc

Comprehensive Healthcare Service, Keystrokes, MDI-MD, and TSSC.  Would appreciate the following info.


Good dictation quality?


Steady work?


What are the work types?


Good platform?


Pay rate?


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?


Do you have a flexible schedule?


Weekend work mandatory?


Employee or IC?


Benefits?


Low or high volume ESLs?


Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?


Dialup accepted?


 


I work for MDI-MD and have worked part-time for Cobb in the past. sm

It has been about 3 years or so since I worked for Cobb Transcription in Georgia (very nice woman, by the way), so my info may be old, but I'll try to help.


Good dictation quality?


Yes for both MDI-MD and Cobb



 


Steady work?


MDI:  For the most part, yes.  There have been a few times, but you usually have enough secondary and tertiary accounts to make it through the dry times.


Cobb:  I was doing clinic work -- do not recall any times without work.



 


What are the work types?


MDI-MD has a few radiology and clinic accounts (I think), but probably the majority of the accounts are acute care.


Cobb may have hospital accounts, but all I did with them was clinic work.


Good platform?


MDI uses Bayscribe -- very easy to use.


Cobb used Word.


Pay rate?


MDI pays better than any other company I have encountered.


Cobb's pay rate is kinda low, as I recall, and it was based on being paid by the character.


Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?


Yes for MDI ... as I mentioned above, Cobb paid by the character.


Do you have a flexible schedule?


Yes to both.  MDI gives you a 24-hour turnaround time to do your work, and I think the same was true with Cobb.


Weekend work mandatory?


MDI:  You are asked to work 2 weekends a month, I think.  I pretty much work every weekend, so not sure about the official rules.


Cobb:  No.


Employee or IC?


MDI:  Statutory employee (they take out FICA, nothing else, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax)


Cobb:  Was IC only


Benefits?


No for both


Low or high volume ESLs?


Probably vaies with the account -- probably average with MDI.


I don't recall any ESLs at Cobb.


Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?


MDI:  You have a primary account and usually a secondary account -- pretty much the same docs.


Cobb:  Yes.


Dialup accepted?


Yes to both, as far as I know.  I have had cable so long, I do not recall.


 


 


Good luck with your job search.  Hope this helps.   If you have an offer from MDI, I'd take it -- it is a great place to work!

Webinar -Evolving Medical Transcription: Technology's impact on traditional transcription process

Hey everyone, check out this link. This is what we are up against. Be sure and note how 3M or whoever is the sponsor of this webinar throws in that dictation and transcription is time-consuming.  Nevermind that EMR and VR take more time and money to be successful and it only takes 38 seconds to dictate a returning patient and 2 minutes to dictate a new patient versus 500 clicks on a point and click EMR or the mess VR makes and having to have an Editor come in and clean up the mess. Propaganda that we should know about.

Thanks in adance for your help/support. 


Do you mean TMT Transcription or Tidewater Medical Transcription sm
known as TMT. Their tactics are to look for you so it sounds like them.

Please let me know if you work for this company and what you think of them. I am testing right now and hope they are a good company! :)


Thanks :)

Thank you


Don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription
Please don't confuse CC Transcription with C&C Transcription, they are two totally separate companies. Also C&C Transcription does NOT offer direct deposit.

D&L Transcription
Can anyone tell me anything about D&L Transcription??  Just wondering and curious.... THANKS!
TM Transcription - sm
Anyone ever work for TM Transcription?  I think it is Transcription Mommies which is kind of scary but I'm looking for a smaller co.
T-C Transcription
I started last week working for them.  I was promised my main account would be radiology.  Of course, lied to again.  They have ME on five accounts.  I have only done VA.  The instructions for the account are absolutely ridiculous.  Who has time to review 18 pages of dialogue for an account???  Then some have templates, and VA  you have to fill in headers and footers, and use periods in MD and other stupid stuff.  Then you have to do a monthly schedule, and I have had nothing but trouble with that.  I sent it as an attachment, as required, but it is not the "right" format.  I am supposed to have tech support fix my email, and the account manager is snooty as heck.  I am literally shaking I am so frustrated and angry with this place.  I took a chance and re-contacted my job I just resigned from, and I got my job back.  eTransPlus is a great place.  I highly recommend applying there.
QA vs. transcription
I have done QA for about 4 years and left the company, and I would like to do transcription, but I only type about 55-60 words a minute. Should I try different companies to see if they will hire me. And will speed come?  I have enough medical terminology, but it's the speed I'm concerned about.
QA vs. transcription
As you probably already know, quality is much more important than speed in transcription. Just keep plugging away with quality as your #1 goal, and the speed will come with practice. Also, I suggest trying one of those typing test websites to work on your speed. Good luck!
Transcription help

Is there anybody out there that would be willing to mentor an MT.  I try to find MT friends but have no luck, as nobody wants to give me their name.  I like these boards but sometimes I need longer explanations about things.  I was just wondering if there was a group or something or individuals who do that.

Key Transcription, anyone?
They have an ad on the job board for oncology MTs, but they require up to 2000 lines a day.....seems a bit much to me.  Anyone know anything about this company?  Thanks!

Transcription at Its Best
... does anybody have any info on this company. I work for a psychiatric hospital and am considering working at home. I saw their ad in MT jobs but can't find anything in archives. Please help. Thanks.
Pj transcription
I did work for PJ for months and you might as well go back to school, cause at least then you dont expect pay, with PJ you wont get paid either. I did give notice and never recieved anything except experience. good luck
Pjs Transcription
All is works for as we speak. Your right, there is no excuse for it, and others will get caught in it too which is a shame to take advantage of new MTs.    
PJs transcription
I have nothing to gain from this posting. This business owner has already stolen over $500 from me and I will have to fight to get it back -- might get ugly. I do not take pleasure in demoralizing anyone. Just don't want it to happen to anyone else -- so here we go....word of mouth. By the way, congratulations on your business ownership -- it's quite an accompliment to run an honest, productive business.
PRN transcription
Does this company have radiology and urology? If this is the one I am thinking of, I was going to start working for them, but then the girl training me admitted that she didn't like certain reports or dictators and would skip them - that was all I needed to hear - of course that is what would be left for me to do - the crap work - and I have done all of that kind of work for most of the past 15 years - and I am tired of it - ESLs, long reports for little pay, etc. If you have the names of someone with the company - I would be happy to confirm if this is one in the same.

T-C Transcription
There is a TON of work.  The people are very nice to work for.  Very happy there.
QA not transcription
She's talking about QA for $4000.00 a month at 1.5 cents a line, not transcription.
AS&M Transcription
Is anyone employed by this company or know of someone who is?  Is it the real deal? 
VR and Transcription
Can anyone recommend a good company where I can perform both voice recognition and transcription?  Thank You
C&C TRANSCRIPTION
Perhaps you are confusing C&C Transcription with CC Transcription - there are a couple of C&C's in Florida - C&C Transcription in Orlando, has not contracted anyone new in over a year. Any and all correspondence with them would have relayed this message. They have had a freeze on all new IC's -C&C is still doing medical transcription and has been for over 14 years but has now branched off into DVDs, CDs, VHS, anykind of tape and any and all forms of convention and business dictation.
