Go to Webmedx. They provide equipment.
I love my job there.
don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment.  So, why were you providing your own?
Do they provide equipment?
Also, do they have IC positions?
Is it possible to type clinic work only?
MQ does provide equipment
x
These used to provide equipment
Medquist (NJ), OSi (GA), Transcend (GA), Amphion (WI), Transtech (TX).
As far as I know, the only equipment they provide is a footpedal....sm
and the software, so you'd have to provide the rest of the equipment (computer, references books, etc.) Their website is www.gimtnet.com
Are there any companies out there that provide equipment

for their transcriptionists?  I am finally able to get high speed internet services in my area and am anxious to get started working at home. 


Thank you for any information. 



Companies that provide Equipment?
I am wondering if there are still any companies that provide equipment.  I have almost 20 years of experience, have a pentium processor and Windows XP, but I do not have a foot pedal... Does anyone know off hand?
Which companies provide equipment?
Just wondering which companies provide equipment, i.e., computer.  Thanks in advance.
What companies provide equipment?

Does Transcend provide computer equipment
for employees?
What kind of equipment, if any, does Deventure provide? sm
I went on their website and it didn't really have any information like that.  I applied for one their positions on the Job Seekers Board, but I thought maybe I need to find out as much as I could before I talk with them, that is if they want to talk to me!  Thanks.
Focus DOES NOT provide equipment, only headaches

Don't they provide all equipment, etc., at no charge? All things considered....
I've never worked for them, although after applying and passing their test quite awhile ago, they continually email me. I've never accepted because their constant advertising campaigns remind me of used-car salesmen.

I think they and Diskriter both provide everything though, so that's a perk for anyone with an older system.
What companies provide computer/equipment for part-time? nm

RE: What companies provide computer/equipment for part-time? nm
Transcend
What good companies provide computer, etc. without charge for that equipment?

Do you know of any companies that provide computer, with or without cost to the MT?


Spheris equipment

Looking for current info about their computers/equip.  Do they rent theirs, or can you use yours?  Deposit? Rental fee?  I see different things in the archives regarding this.  TIA


Spheris equipment
You pay a deposit at start (a couple of pay periods). If there are any problems, you call the Help Desk (available 24/7). If there are any major problems, they send you a new one.
Spheris free equipment?
It is true that you have to pay some sort of deposit taken out of your first paychecks? Not so sure about the free.

Any info will be appreciated.
Does Spheris provide a computer?
Do they have affordable insurance for single coverage? Any other comments are appreciated.
Webmedx provides equipment, doesn't allow
satellite. 
Webmedx provides equipment for a deposit sm
which you get back after you leave the company.
Webmedx equipment deposit question...sm
I recently have given notice at Webmedx and am wondering if I'll ever actually see the $125 deposit I had to pay when I started for the computer. Anyone out there ever have any trouble getting it refunded?
Spheris? Webmedx?
Anyone,  need input..Which is better, Spheris or WebMedX? 
WebMedX/Spheris?
WebMedX or Spheris?  Both seem about the same with what they have to offer.
Spheris vs Webmedx - HELP

Has anyone ever worked for both Spheris and Webmedx and if so, is it truly easier to get a better line count at Webmedx?  The benefits sound better, but the line rate is a little lower.  Any help appreciated.  THANKS!


1 = MQ 2= Spheris 3=Webmedx
nm
Spheris and Webmedx
They both require a deposit that is taken out of your first few checks, and you must keep the box to return the computer when you leave the company.  Don't know if either of them is hiring right now though.
Spheris/Webmedx
Close associate used to work for them. Very dissatisfied she moved on to Webmedx where things are even worse. I don't know that any of these companies are worth working for.
Transcend,Spheris,MDI-Fl, Webmedx have nothing on MQ. sm
MQ platform rulesssssssssss
Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time.  I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me.  Blown chance!  I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead.  The test reports were easy enough for me to do.  I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them.  I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule.  I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, Spheris

Can anyone give me current information on working as a QA for TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, and Spheris?  Do they pay hourly? How do they test? Employee or IC positions? Workflow? Do they require 100% listen on all reports or are some fill in the blanks?


Are there any companies you would recommend for a QA position and can you please provide above-requested info?  


Thank you all for your help and kindness in providing any information possible.


 


Spheris is #2 and other biggies are Transcend, Webmedx, SPi

MedQuist, Spheris or WebMedX for Radiology? sm

Please, anyone who works for or has worked for one (or more) of the these companies transcribing Radiology provide some input.  How are the accounts, the pay, schedule flexibility, benefits, etc?  You can email me, if you prefer.


Thanks  :->


Who's best all around company; Transolutions, Spheris, Webmedx,Transtech?

I left EDiX/Spheris after 8 years there to come to Webmedx. SM
I moved over here in 2003 because I knew the recruiter and she told me it was a great place to work. She was right. The benefits are fair, the work plentiful, the bosses fantastic, and the QA staff wonderful. Good luck!
Yeah she's happy. She was a recruiter for Spheris, now for Webmedx.

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was

Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.


Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions.  MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris.  Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests.  Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

Equipment
You can rent a C-phone or Lanier unit from them, but you have to provide your own computer. You have to pay your own LD charges. No benefits as we are statutory employees. I've been with MDI for 18 months and have been very happy there.
Equipment?
Just hired.  They require a $40 dollar lease payment a month for special pedal needed.
You must use their equipment, for which there is $200
zz
No, I have all my own equipment. sm
My checks were short and late from the very first check.
Equipment
I know that KS just stopped providing equipment. I asked my lead why and she told me flat out that it was taking a FT person to keep track of it, the shipping costs were getting out of hand and they were no longer going to stock endless supplies of it all.

When they made the decision, the owner contacted us all and offered it all dirt cheap: Pedals were $50, c-phones $100 and Lanier machines $200.

I have worked for many, far too many IMO, MTSOs and have always had to have my own equipment. It is part of being an MT.

I have been with KS for 2 years. During that time, they have been fair to me, have paid me on time and correctly and have always provided me with enough work to pay my bills, send 2 kids to college (2 more years and I am done!!!!!) and no have to depend on an ex-husband who does not always remember that child support is not optional.

If someone did not have to pay for their equipment, perhaps they worked something out with the office; I am sure if someone could not afford to purchase, even with being able to break it into 4 payments, the owner would have made special arrangements and probably just gave it to them. They're like that there. They look out for their own.


This is your job. You need to have the necessary equipment
A fax machine is standard equipment in the year 2007.  If you work from home, you need to have the basics.  Either that or pay the $1.50 a page and DEFINITELY do NOT complain to the company about it. 
Equipment is now on the way...
I'll get it 30 something days after hire. So things are moving...just veeeery slowly.
Equipment - SM
All accounts are on different platforms and require different equipment. Some of them will require that you have your own C-phone or Lanier system with unlimited long distance. My 2 accounts are internet-based, so all I need are my transnet/Dictaphone pedal and my other acount just uses a USB wav pedal. They supplied me with the Dictaphone pedal when I started a year ago, but I already had my own USB pedal, which I use for my backup account. Each account is different, so you will want to ask them what equipment you will need. You will need your won computer, however.
