Saw that too...WOW. I am guessing it is subcontracted work
if all she can offer is 6 cpl.
Hey gourdpainter. Do you even work at TT? I am guessing no.
Why then are you constantly bashing them?
You say you work for Webmedx, but in what capacity? MT? Recruiter? Manager? I am guessing not an

I know, I know Medquist sends work overseas....but there is always work :)

No, I work for MedQuist but...
I was reading old posts going back a few years and couldn't believe the actual owner posted on here so many times! Just wondered if she still does that...
If you work for MedQuist...
I just received the computer today. I thought it was going to be JUST a computer. I had no idea they were sending a monitor, speakers, headset, pedal, etc. I'm feeling quite a bit overwhelmed because this is a second job for me. Is this stuff to be used ONLY for Medquist work? I'm talking about the monitor, pedal, etc. I know the computer is only for MedQuist work. Is it okay to not use some of their stuff? I mean, my pedal, speakers, and monitor are just fine. Where would I find the room for two of everything?

The manual keeps talking about a modem. On the phone I was told they wanted me to have high-speed internet access. Am I correct to assume then that I won't need a modem for anything? I certainly hope so because since going high speed we got rid of our phone and went to cell phone only.

I'm also feeling very overwhelmed looking through the big manual. My training starts on Thursday. How am I ever to learn everything in that manual by then? They haven't confirmed my start date but I'm thinking possibly as early as this Sunday. Please tell me I'm not the only overwhelmed by all the stuff that was sent.

if you work for MedQuist..
Yes, they send everything! I don't know about the computer being only for Medquist work or not, you always could ask. I do keep mine strictly for Medquist because I have my own computer as well. I put my two work stations diagonal to eachother (in sort of an L-shape - 2 desks in the corner of my office). I do all my work on the MedQuist equipment and then swivel on my chair (without moving my chair) to my personal computer to look anything up that I need to. Very handy! I also do all "my own stuff" on my own computer. You need a phone line, unless it has changed in three years, because they can access your computer through the phone lines to load it with stuff, and to train you. I also have high speed cable but sometimes if there are software problems, they get me to hook up the phone modem so they have access and can fix it. I am using my own speakers etc. I just think they send you everything because they want to make sure you have all the equipment you need. Just think of them as spares! I browsed through the manual but don't be afraid, the staff really do help you alot! I really enjoyed my training period and had help whenever I needed it. Even once they "set me free on my own" I still was able to call for help if I had questions. Enjoy! I am! :)
re:if you work for medquist

I've been on high speed internet through my cable company for over a year & have had Tech support work on my Medquist computer w/o having a phone line.


I'm strictly on my cell now that all my accounts have gone to the DEP platform, so have cancelled my land line w/o any issues when MQ needs to work on my system.


It seems so overwhelming when you start, but it does get to be pretty easy soon, it's the best platform I've been on yet.  Good luck


Did you work at Medquist or
somewhere else before you went to Transtech?
work for Medquist?
Is Medquist a good company to work for?
I work for MedQuist, can it be any worse?!!! nm

Anyone work for the Medquist Illinois office?
Just wondering how they are.
I am guessing NJ.

I'm guessing that
with all the qualified people who frequent this site, you could start a business and grow into a decent sized companies (finding employees here!).

It would be a lot of work but might be well worth it!
Guessing

I think it depends on your Team Leader and the account, but I know of people that do work 4-hour shifts on 2nd or 3rd shift.  I don't personally know of anyone at Focus who works a dayshift, though there could be some.


 


Guessing.
I am left to guessing, as there are no responses to my emails.  I don't trust myself to phone them, as I would likely not be able to disguise my extreme anger.   I had good evaluations from the Indian gentleman who used to be our account manager/Team Leader, so it isn't that I'm bad.  However, I have decided to interpret the situation as a blessing, a motivator to get me to finally find a better position, and move on to a better MT life.

What spell-checks work with Transhealth, Precyse and Medquist? nm

How about Florida - am guessing
we are part of the Tri-state
By "account" I'm guessing you only have one?
Why haven't you asked for a secondary or even a third? That would surely get you better results than simply posting your lack of work here.
Not 100% sure but I am guessing a company in

I'm guessing you are talking about Webmedx .
they do not type in radnet, they have their own software. Radnet is used for macros, search patient's, etc.
Your dictators are clear, and there's *no guessing at all*??

So if you get one that isn't so clear, does that mean you *guess*?? 


I'm guessing English is your second language? I would say this is a
disservice to the MT as well as the companies you are going to service. Nothing worse than someone trying to sail the ship who hasn't ever been near the water.
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??

I am guessing that the OP meant the queue
shut off means she can see there are jobs there, but when she clicks to get them, she gets nothing. Either that or suddenly the jobs go from a large amount to 0 all the way down. I have experienced both. Don't know if it is queue shut off or work manipulation by sups.
Approximately how big is Transcend now? I am guessing (sm)
MQ, Spheris and now Transcend, but as I said this is only a guess.  Anyone else?
Not just MT, any computer skills, paperwork, etc. could be difficult. I am just guessing. (nm)

I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..

Medquist is getting really bad
Been there for a long time (years and years) - am looking for another job now. They don't care about their employees, only their accounts. The pay is horrible and you almost never get a raise. Management only cares about management - not us lowly peons.

I did not like MedQuist's platform at all.  All of the info required to be filled in was ridiculous (wouldn't have been so bad if they paid for the keystrokes).  Also, I was switched between 4 different accounts during the first week.  I was told during the interview that I would have one main account and a backup account. 


Another complaint I have is that whenever I called the office, my calls were not returned.  I had to just keep calling until the manager was available.  I just did not have a very good first impression of them.  Luckily, my previous employer took me back. 


I would recommend anyone switching companies to try the new company out before turning in your notice.  Sometimes you don't know how good you have it until you almost lose it.


I think it's only fair to say, though, that if I would have had a stable account and had a chance to get used to the doctor names, local cities, clinics, etc., I may have had an entirely different impression of MedQuist.  Don't put too much weight into one transcriptionist's impression of a company.  They may have 'easy' accounts.


I also have noticed that sometimes, the less qualified you are, the easier work you get, the more money you make.


MedQuist...
I work for the Ohio MedQuist and have had exactly ONE radiology account in the entire eight years I've been with 'em - I've never even HAD a secondary account. Needless to say I feel like these docs are old, old friends (and a few hated enemies) and the work is always there, easy docs, cutting edge technology and they leave me alone and don't bug me. Give 'em a try, I say.
MedQuist.
I work for MedQuist and make $25/hr. doing radiology - I've done exactly one account the entire 8 years I've been with MedQuist and have never run out of work. The doctors are great, they don't bother you and allow you to do your work and pay on time. Seems kewl to me. Radiology pays quite well there.
MedQuist.
Despite all the negative press and opinions, they are still probably the best - since they are the biggest they can afford to pay more, work always plentiful (at least in radiology) and they don't bug U to death (U don't have to clock out to go to the John). At least that's how it is at the Ohio Medquist - don't know about other branches but assume they are similar. There ARE perks to being with the biggest, I must say.

MedQuist uses DocQscribe!
Medquist pay

Anybody who works for Medquist, I am wondering what they pay?

VR and Medquist
Yeah, and if MedQ has anything to say about it, we all will be in the soup kitchens pouring up our family the needful food they need to survive on while the homeless shelter people protect us from our bill collectors!!!!!!!!!

Medquist should never be on a list of 10-top companies to work for!

Any info on working for MQ now?  How about its QA department? 


Medquist sm

I love working for Medquist.  I think they are probably one of the better companies, if not the best.  I have worked for other companies part-time along with Medquist.  The other companies just didn't measure up to Medquist, in my opinion.  I thought about leaving after 01/01 because of the changes.  I stuck it out and things have gotten a lot better.


 


Some people love it.  Some people hate it.  The best thing is to compare other companies and pick what is best for you.
