wonder why we lost all these accounts?

Posted By: no work for me either on 2007-04-16
In Reply to: there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost. - not only

Does anyone know what happened? Why did we lose them all at once?

Other lost accounts?
Besides the 120 account and Florida Hospital (don't know that site #), what other accounts have been dropped lately? I don't know about acute care or clinic sites, but ER has been very, very slow for the past 3 weeks or so. I don't know if it is all related to the loss of 120 or if there are others that haven't been mentioned yet.
Other accounts have been lost too. It would

be nice if someone would at least tell us what was going on so we can decide what we need to do.   I laughed about the Indian signing the paycheck.  While they do or did have an Indian working in the office I hardly think they are going to send the payroll to India. 


They lost some major accounts, one to
voice recognition and the other was overflow work but still it's gone. THey are hoping site 120 and the clinics that go with it do not work out with voice recognition since a lot of the docs were hard.
Wow, is there a reason they lost so many accounts like this. nm
:
Lost accounts are mounting up

I was convinced is not going to get better so picked up FT elsewhere.  Hopefully they won't cut off my benefits until I can get past the eligibility period at new place as I hate there to be a gap in my kids' health insurance!  I cannot depend on them any longer to take care of me and my kids.  Look everywhere you can.  Take care of yourself, especially if your benefits are with the Web.  I am on site now and loving it.  And it isn't hard to work 2 full time jobs when one has no work!


Ab article below that says Proscript lost a lot of their accounts. Can someone tell me about this as
I am interested in this company or at least I was.
Heartland has lost numerous accounts before
nothing new! I trained on new accounts and then was told that a) they went to India because they could keep up with TAT and b) they no longer have that account..... time to start looking!
The account was not lost. It was fired, if that is what you do to accounts that you do not want. s
I have been there for 4 years. They have not lost any accounts but have gotten rid of 3 accounts. One of them was definitely the one you are talking about as it is the only one I ever saw with such blatant cherry picking by hospital staff. They were not even hospital staff; they were hospital employees that were let go and went in to work as ICs.

I have been a lead and stepped down recently due to family obligations.

They continue to grow steadiily and the changes over the years have all been positive. They truly do value their employees and stand strong on no offshore, which is important to me.

I would give them a call if you do not like where you went. Several have found that the grass is not greener and came back. A few were not taken back, but I find them to be fair.

I do not think that the company is perfect (i.e. no downtime pay) but I usually have plenty of work, get paid on time and like the people I encounter. I get asked to work extra, but that should stop now that there are more MTs on my main account.

They do not overstaff; I am very grateful for that.
Yep, exactly -- TransTech lost accounts and I truly believe is in financial trouble right now !

That small overflow account acquired has not paid yet, and the HUGE hospital they lost is no longer paying them.


I really think TT is in lots of trouble right now money-wise.  Keeps changing payroll companies due to *floating* and not having the money for the payroll company, is my thoughts.


We had the best payroll company in the world -- but TT all of a sudden changed . . . and I mean ALL OF A SUDDEN, so much so that all our payroll information was WRONG, etc.  Horrible time with this new payroll company, but it was a FAST decision made on TT's part.  Probably had no choice except to change payroll companies.


TT is not stable as far as financial backup.  Just imagine after losing a HUGE hospital account how much less money was coming in this week and prior.  Those little overflow accounts just don't bring in a lot of monies.  Dictaphone controls how much money TT gets -- due to Dictaphone owning the platform and dividing up the work between Dictaphone's customers ! 


 times for TT now.


You obviously haven't a clue what you are talking about. TT has NOT lost any accounts. TT is NO
having financial troubles. Dictaphone does NOT control the money or the accounts. I would strongly suggest you refrain from posting that erroneous information here or face the consequences.
Did we not just lose a lot of MTs with the accounts that we lost? What the heck did we hire (sm)

around 15 more MTs for then?  Why would they post the welcome to new employees for July and August?  Yes, perhaps they were hired before we lost that account and were anticipating a new one, but get real.   Some of those employees could have been with the company a long time.  I think they should reduce the availability of work to the newcomers and provide to those who have been building this company all along.


Not trying to be mean, really.  It just does not seem fair.


 


TransTech has no work; that is why; lost accounts; overhired significantly BAD nm

Does TT care?  No, they get their big paychecks no matter if the MT's do or not.


Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week.  No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie.  The account is gone, please look for new jobs
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
to lost at sea
Please, please email me.  If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it.  She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help. 
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost

I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.


Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.


I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.


They lost me
And I tell others to save their money.  Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us?  Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost.
no msg
They lost everybody!
They did lose a TON of people, including almost everybody in management! Since the SPI takeover, they totally stopped caring about their employees and treated them all like second class citizens! I know that was my experience! I am so glad to be out of that place! I make a ton more money with my new company since I get paid for spaces now, which I did not get paid for at Cymed/SPI!
not really lost

They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really.  Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything.  It's just awful awful awful.  Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.


They Lost
DeVenture LOST the case.
I think everyone just was lost on the ...sm
fact that referring to an Asian descent person as Oriental was not PC. I have to admit I honestly didn't know that myself. Learn something new everyday.
That isn't why you lost your job...

No one cares about what is in the medical records right now.  Type it and file it and the lawsuits will come down the road...  probably by that time, the company will be out of business or in India or feel they won't have to face that. 


Hey, aren't we supposed to have a push to reconcile our medical records?  Everyone will have a set that they can take with them to each doctor?  Gee, what do you think will happen when patients find out exactly what CRAP is in their records.  Can you say L-A-W-S-U-I-T?  Come on, all together now... 


Lost my job to EMR
They kept saying that it wouldn't happen, that they would still need us, blah, blah, blah. Then about a month and a half ago I got called into the office. Myself and the other Transcriptionist were told that as of the end of August we would be without jobs. Now, if I want to get paid at all, starting Monday I have to go in-house through the end of August and work in the medical records department. I'm switching to general and legal transcription. As soon as I can find another full-time position, I'm quitting the MT business. Although I'm sure at one point that will go by the wayside too.
Don't think we lost any........
because of losing accounts. I believe the MTs on the accounts that were lost were just redistributed amongst other existing already low-volume accounts, which helps account for the NSA that we see so often. I think it is good that a company tries to keep employess on if their account goes away, but not at the expense of others who need to make a living as well.
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
There is lost of work at MDI-FL....
Call the office and ask for another account. There are three starting tomorrow. I just got an e-mail about one with a system called Intrascript.


got that and I was one of the ones who lost their job last week....
so I am not in a good mood about the company at all right now. Don't know what they are trying to prove right now, but it is not good.
ex QA mgr lost her job for letting cat out of the bag...
and that is then I found another job as well.
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that   doesnt cut it.
that account was lost too nm
nm
Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
For those who lost their jobs at QT (sm)

How were you all informed about the closing of QT?  I hope you all found homes.  Good luck to everyone of you going through this.


account lost was....

I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost.  All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them.  There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+.  The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more.  Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired.  TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them.  More and more, the doctors were going to the other service.  We were all let go on 1/30.


 


If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today. 


lost report
Did you lose your C-phone audio? Make sure you have that first. If not, email your supervisor ASAP. To get the transcription back, go back into Bayscribe and pull up the template for the kind of report you were on. Then hit Alt+R and it will retrieve reports you have done or are working on. The first one that comes up should be your report and very little should be lost on it.
Don't feel sorry for me as I have lost nothing nm
xx
FYI, MDI has NEVER lost a client.

What are your guesses? You lost us.
NM
you lost 40% this time.
How long do you think your 401K will last if you lose 40% every quarter? It's basic math. It won't last forever.
Has anyone lost their primary?

What happened?  How did your company handle it?  Did they even tell you?  Was anyone quietly pushed out the door only to find out later it was because their primary dropped? 


I feel like I am all of a sudden getting pushed out the door, and I know my primary renewal date is coming up shortly. 


Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.  Any signs that I should be looking for (both with regards to work itself and how I am being treated)? 


Thanks


Actually, if I ever lost this job and had to switch
companies, I'd have to take a cut in pay according to what I've been seeing, so I'd be well below cost of living increases... It's the nature of this crazy MT business. Work harder, faster, know more, get more experience, and make less and less and less as the years go on, while the prices of everything keep going up...
They already lost a BIG one a while back.
