    Sale?
    What sale?
    i mean FOR sale
    -

    why do you think it's for sale, and what are you asking them,
    nm
    Hmm, WM has a lap top on sale right now
    for only 400 bux. I just wonder if you can use a different keyboard and how cumbersome (or not) it would be to do that. I don't think I'd be able to type fast on a lap top keyboard
    Rumor is they are up for sale

    but I have not heard anything more about that.


    If MQ were for sale it wouldn't ....sm
    necessarily be a negative thing for the MQ employees regardless of who a new owner might be (same goes true for any company being sold regardless of the industry).
    MTSO's for sale
    Does anyone know of any MTSO's for sale?
    Keystrokes is for sale? sm

    I was just heard from my boss that Keystrokes is for sale for $30 million.  He was looking at them but thinks that Spheris will be the ones who will actually buy them. 


    I know that they are in the U.S.A. only.  What will happen once Spheris buys them?  Why Spheris and not MQ?

    sell not sale
    just before someone jumps on that one
    look on the equipment board here also--always some for sale there--nm

    aren't they for sale? (cut my messg off)

    Heartland - Status of Sale

    Heartland is such a horrible company, it has been announced that SPI has backed out of purchasing them for good!


    Almost all in-house employees are gone, majority of my MT friends left! I don't think they will survive with all these employees gone.


    I'll be sure to pass that along to the sale guy.
    Ever feel like no one in the transcription industry really knows to things work other than the MTs?
    Just remember.....everything/anything is for sale for the right price sm
    No matter what, everything and anything has a price tag. Good luck to all KS MTs.
    I mean the owner on the sale. The only winner here. nm
    ,
    VR is example of great sale pitch, not way of
    one angle the sales person is using.
    Does anyone know of any large billing agencies that are for sale?
    If you are aware of a large ($1million + annual revenue) medical billing/transcription agency/company that is for sale.  Please reply here or email me.
    I am sure she was legally bound not to say anything about the sale until it was complete. That is s
    business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?
    Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
    Not a thing.
    Hired company, but sale did not take place, right ? n/m
    n
    and I have prime land in the everglades for sale.

    is eMTS out of Coral Springs for sale?

    I am thankful that lightbulbs were on sale last week. nm
    nm
    I received an email from someone about Keystrokes being for sale - it is lie. sm

    Yes, the owners met with the CEO of Transcend and went to dinner but it was 2 years and it was NETWORKING.  They had no intentions of selling to them and when they informed them of that, Transcend stopped coming around.  I work in the office.  Get your facts straight.


    Watch out, this company is probably up for sale to Transcend.
    Usual warning signs - lots of mls, low work.
    I have a bridge to sale you? I guess its karma...
    x
    "Was" is the keyword here! Up until the sale, they've been GREAT! nm
    .
    Keystrokes is not for sale at this time, and there are no plans for selling in the foreseeable futu
    This is a rumor started by someone for absolutely no reason. There are a few companies out there who have approached Keystrokes about selling and have been turned down. A few have been very agressive and do not like to hear the word no.

    The company has been growing steadily for the past 10 years and has agressive growth plans in place for the next 5 years.

    If you have any questions, contact one of the owners or member of the management team directly. They will answer your questions.

    This is just another example of someone trying to stir the pot.

    Not every company is for sale, at any price. Although that may change in the future for the owners of Keystrokes, right now they enjoy growing the company and improving on what they have built. It will be several years before the idea of selling would be entertained.
    TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
    TIA
    Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
    decent rate.  I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
    Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
    we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
    How do you know which companies are Nationals and which are smaller companies.
    Is there a list somewhere? I'm new to this.
    By "most of the companies", I meant MORE than MT companies.
    clarification
    Sten-Tel is the platform. Different companies use it, pay and how companies run are different. nm
    :P
    Nobody said MT companies were not for profit companies. (sm)....
    As MTs we are an important segment of what it takes for the company to thrive, but we are still just part of the whole structure.

    Not trying to be argumentative, just think sometimes we get that "I'm the quarterback" attitude and forget that we can't get anywhere without our line men.
    Companies that outsource to other companies?
    Anyone know of any reliable companies that will outsource to American companies and pay a decent line rate? I am amazed at what the companies charge and then want to offer in this business anymore.


    2 companies with that name. Was this the NJ job? nm
    .
    I have been through a lot of companies and
    they are all the same.  I just found that out not too long ago.  I am with a company now that everyone cheers about.  They are just the same as everyone else.  Nothing to cheer about IMO.  This business has gone downhill fast.  Sad.
    What companies, if any,
    . . .

    . . . hire and actually promote professionals who have forgotten more than many MTs know, have years and years of experience, work when needed, don't rock the boat, and produce excellent work?  At my company, the editors and managers usually have just a few years of experience as an MT, if any, and many have no management experience.  Some managers have never even seen a typed document.  That doesn't make sense.  What companies give one a chance to actually grow with them?  Any of them?  How do the promotions go to those who took an on-line class and have been an MT for 2 years?  Kudos to anyone who could answer this . . . Bewildered 


    He said that some companies do that, but
    usually when they do there is a reason for it, so told me to keep an eye out for future class action lawsuits or that sometimes they use it as a means to withhold severance pay, etc.  IMO - basically it's a CYA letter.  Atty agreed.  But again, IMO, why be worried about a CYA letter if you have nothing to CYA for?  Any company that wants ex-employees to sign a release from future lawsuits is definitely not up for nomination for Employer of the Year, that's for sure and just one more bit of proof that it isn't the MLSs at fault.   I'm not concerned about it, but I'm sure as heck not signing it either.  I just think it's hilarious that a few Transcend groupies come out of the woodwork ready to blame the MLSs that left as if they weren't the GOOD transcriptionists and that's why they left.  Seems to me if they weren't any good they wouldn't be able to get hired anywhere and so would want to stay put where they know they have a sure thing.
    Some Companies...
    Charge you per report for their useless template. What a rip off...
    QA Companies
    Anyone who works as a QA; I am curious as to what you think of the company you work for?  Good or bad.  Looking for a new QA position and would like some information on the companies.  Thanks.
    Here are some companies
    First Choice Medical
    QT Medical
    JLG - some accounts still on WP.
    TeleType

    That is all I know of right now.

    Good luck.
    Some Companies Pay Less
    Some companies, especially small ones, lure you in by starting you at less and tell you that once you're off probation in a couple of weeks your line rate will be raised a couple of cents.  Months later, despite quality work and that pitch-in attitude during backlog periods, you're still making 6 cents a line.  A lot of good begging does....What a joke these companies are...........
    Any companies out there?

    with:


    1.  ENT, cardiology, family practice or internal medicine work.


    2.  Require a minimum line count of 500 lines a day with the option to do more.


    3.  Word based with a 24-hour TAT and have direct deposit with assigned docs/accounts?


    Are there any companies out there using DQS except MQ? (sm)
    If I were going to try to work 2 companies at the same time until I could decide I thought it would be easier if they used the same program.  This old dog is getting too old to learn too many new tricks at once. 
    That would be companies. If you
    want to make it in this biz, you have to learn to spell!
    Are any companies besides MQ using VR right
    x
    Not sure of any companies (sm)
    I've worked on it for hospitals.  I am not aware of any MTSO's that use it.
    companies
    Diskriter has some ChartScript accounts.  A lot of hospitals use ChartScript also.  I used it with my in-house job.  Very productive platform. 
    None of the companies do! That's the name of the
