Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
That is only for ortho and clinic, not HIM and radiology and only certain accounts. sm
I am Mon-Fri. I have not worked a weekend in 3 years with the exception of one Saturday because I took off on Monday and switched with someone.
I type radiology and the ortho book helps
I also had to get a medical & surgical words book to help with some of the procedures. They were well worth the money - got mine on ebay pretty cheap.

Who is hiring part-time for ER, ortho, clinic dictation? sm
I have over 14 years experience. I love doing orthopedics, ER notes, and clinic dictation.  Does anyone know of a company who is currently hiring for PT work right now?  I am looking for a company that you don't have to spend weeks and weeks filling out paperwork, calling back and forth, waiting, waiting and waiting to begin work.  I am very dependable, hard-working.  Looking for someone that can respect that in this day and time.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. 
NOT HIRING FOR RADIOLOGY!
As one of the recruiters for Webmedx, please rest assured that we are not hiring for radiology positions. We do not have any radiology MT/editing positions available at this time.
Company hiring for Radiology
I just hired on at Precyse Solutions 2 days ago, and I think they may still be looking for Radiology MT's - I do only Radiology.  They hire you as employee -- no IC status. 
Know of any good companies hiring PT Radiology? (nm)
/
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
Trans Tech is hiring for Radiology
What system they use and is it production friendly? TIA
They're hiring for radiology positions (nm)
.
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
right now plenty of work, also plenty of ESLs.nm
nm
Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.

I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm
nm
Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts?  What platforms do they use?  Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators?  Thanks in advance
Ask them to put you on the ortho

Ortho with KS
What's the ortho like with KS?  I've heard that the supervisor is very strict and makes it a difficult situation.  Just wanted to check before applying.  I am not looking for a job that will just be a lot of grief and torment.
Ortho help

Although I have been doing transcription for quite some time, I am relatively new ot ortho. I must admit I do enjoy it; however, my productivity leaves a lot to be desired.


Each report is different. No Lungs are clear. Heart is regular, you get the drift.


Any ortho MTs out there with any suggesions?


Thank you (as always)!

Ortho
As with any new specialty, your line count is going to be down at first but with a little time and patience and good use of your expander, you'll see it go back up and will know most of the terms he's going to say before he actually says them.
Ortho

Thank you to everyone!


I am relativley new to this board.


I have posted several times in the past and am always astounded people  take the time to help with their advice.


(Message n ot even on correct board..........oops)


Thanks again!

ortho

In ortho, there are a lot of two and three word combinations like tenderness to palpation and thoracic spine.  I would abbreviate these things in my shorthand.  Sentences that were repeated often, I would put the first letter of each word and put that sentence in my shorhand.  I used ShortHand just as much in ortho as in HPs and consults.


were you in ortho?
I am and often do OT but I need/want the money so I volunteer.
One of their ortho accounts (sm)
I spent more time going in and out of documents than I did transcribing on one of their ortho accounts.  Nice people tho. 
ortho or podiatry
Does any know of any company that is hiring for orthopedic or podiatry accounts?  
I would like to do ortho work too
nm
I have almost 9 years of ortho and I
when they called. When I returned the call, I was told that We did have 3 openings when I called you but it's first come, first served and you missed out.

I was told that at 1 pm today and now I see they have a job posting for 12 ortho MTs.
On the ortho accounts, about how many SM

minutes per day do you get from your doctor(s)?  After you get used to account specs, is it pretty easy to get the work done in 8 hours?  Also, are there a lot of ESLs, because I'm terrible with ESLs.  (Are they clinic notes, op notes, consults, or all of the above?)


About what time do you get your work and when is it due back?


Are the benefits okay?  How much for medical and dental for employee only?  When do they start?


Thanks for your help! :o)


KS wannabe


Ortho Pay Per Page
These were orthopedic doctors that I was charging $3.00 per page.  Two types of notes.  One was a progress note and the other new patient was in letter form.  I typed them in Word, so I made templates.  They usually put an entire day of patients on one tape.  It was only a matter of choosing the appropriate template.  My experience with ortho clinic is they are fairly short dictations.  I'll put it to you this way if I had to choose it would be per page because the dictations are usually very short.  Ortho docs see a lot of patients in one day and even if they are a new patient most will not go into a lot of detail regarding past medical history, etc.  They mainly focus on symptoms, the exam, and then the diagnosis and treatment.  Glad I could help. 
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great!  I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is?  TIA
Although I don't type ortho...
I am very satisfied with the amount of work. I have a secondary account, but my primary account provides more work than I can do in a day. The office staff is helpful. There are no ESL dictators on my primary account, and I never have to send work in with blanks. Again, I cannot comment on any specific ortho account, as I do not type ortho. Hopefully someone who does type ortho with Keystrokes can fill you in more in that regard.
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
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Ortho Accounts???
Any experience with their ortho accounts?  Is it easy to make lines or do you have to fill in a lot of demo info? 
Ortho transcription

Did someone really advertise 6.5 cpl with experience.  UNBELIEVABLE!! That is less than I made when I started 23 years ago.


Ortho work

My company does alot of work for the same Orthopedic Specialty hospital D&L works for and they are always looking for experienced MTs. We always get paid on time, and have for 9+ years with never one problem.  Contact Phoenix MedCom, Inc. at www.phoenixmedcom.com. Send resume to hr@phoenixmedcom.com


 


ortho at DocuMed and pay
Can anyone tell me anything about about the ortho positions at DocuMed and how their pay is?  Do they pay on time?  Direct deposit?  Help if needed?
This is what I have on DocuMed ortho.

Resume sent (date).  Test sent to me (date).  Test was too long.  Never apply again.  This lady wants to call my account contacts and sends an old e-mail from back in February 2007 for testing.  Dictators are horrible.  Hope this helps some.  Pay on ad was 9 cpl.   


Why Ortho Words?? sm

I most times start with Google and then make sure it is spelled correctly by looking it up in the medical dictionary.  I also use a Word Book that just gives medical words but no definitions.  That helps to narrow things down sometimes too. 


I'm wondering why the above poster said to get Ortho Words.  Is that a must for all types of specialties in your opinion?  I don't have one but would get one if it is helpful.   I do Radiology so you would think that would be good for me anyway.  Think I'm going to go to Amazon.com right now and order one. 


Did anyone apply to Ortho MT/Wk at hm...

on job seeker's board?  I am just curious as to if anyone did and what the feedback has been like thus far and/or what anyone knows about who this company/person is.  You can e-mail me if you'd like - it seems all good but I like to try to confirm if possible before jumping in.  TIA. 


I work ortho too...................
I LOVE working at KS. The supervisor is great. She is always available to answer questions/concerns. She needs to be strict w/TAT to make sure the clients are happy. If you have no problem meeting deadlines then I say go for it and apply.
Keystrokes Ortho pay

I was just wondering if anyone who works on ortho for KS would be willing to share what their average pay/production is.  I just got hired and am very excited but also worried because the line rate is a lot lower than what I'm used to.  I've been doing acute care with high ESL for the last 11 years, so I'm hoping that the ease of the clinic work will make up for the low line rate.  I'm, going to be working in ExText.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
