just received the paper work on the Medquist lawsuit
Seriously, no flames, anyone know whats going on?  Are we on a sinking ship here? 
Don't work for them but did apply. Did the testing, and afterwards received reply that
they do not use people from my state. Check with them before testing.
Here is part of the email my husband received from his IT department at work..sm
It has been widely reported that a newly discovered Windows flaw will result in several new computer viruses over the next few days.

This new virus is launched by visiting web sites that are infected with this virus or by receiving infected e-mails. You will not be able to know if the web site is infected.

The anti-virus software vendors are working on a system update to fix this issue, but as of now, it has not been provided. Also, Microsoft is working on a patch that will fix the root cause of this problem.

Makes me very nervous also!
Work for Spheris, I pay for DSL, even though
zzzzzz

Anybody work for Spheris
Been there. Done that. They suck. It's not the pay. It is everything else.
You must work for Spheris.

I have NEVER ran out of work at Spheris.
I've worked for Spheris for a little over a year, first on a large clinic and now on acute care, and I have never ran out of work. Occasionally, I have to go to one of my secondary accounts, but there has never been no work available at all for me.
I work for Spheris too and I appreciate SM
your honestly. I too have had a fairly good experience, (with the exception of horrible health insurance), but I don't know if I would tell another MT to join up. There is too much commotion there now. They are in a hurry to change over to SR; perhaps too quickly. I'm also curious if the whole India thing is working out quite the way they anticipated. No MT company can work efficiently with so many new MT's.


Is this Spheris? I have work, but I don't know how much SM
longer. I believe my account is going totally global. I believe the entire company is going global.

I work for Spheris, but look at it as a day to day, week to week thing. I don't know how much longer it will remain in US to ANY extent.
You must work for Spheris, right? nm

so what u tellin us we work for SPHERIS?
I couldn't see MQ holding onto transcription.  I'm gonna be sick.
No, you are not free to work for Spheris and MQ and

At Spheris, if the work was running low
I would get an email from my supervisor stating such and telling us we could flex our time or use PTO. She was very much in communication with us at all times.

I personally think that the best communication between employer/supervisor and MT would be an email stating the workload is low, asking if you want to flex your time or use PTO and when do you want to make up your time so they can staff accordingly. Would be nice, huh?! :)

I work for Spheris, and I'm very happy there. sm
Good accounts, steady work (not counting the holiday slow-downs that all companies go thru), good support, and great people. I'm very happy there and would recommend them to anyone.
I work for spheris...cannot load
OP.
Not a slam, but don't you work for Spheris

hospital work going to spheris
We too are in the same situation.. got the announcement, very minimal information, very general.. and now nothing.. we are supposed to transition in July next year.. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst.. we have a lot of American speaking doctors, heard they like to send those to India, very nervous.. whole hospital system network going to spheris.. I am sure there are many more of us, on the edge, waiting....
I work part time for Spheris...(sm)
They will hire you part time for the hours you're looking for; however, they don't hire IC status, which is what I wanted.

Spheris is not working out for me at all, but maybe it'll be what you're looking for.

Good luck!
How can a backup computer be used with Spheris? You work on sm
theirs only.
Spheris Indian MTs are allowed to work

I also work for both Spheris and MQ. If quarterly bonuses are eliminated I too will still be with M

I was told that Healthscribe outsourced and when acquired, that Spheris would be bringing work
And this is information came to me from the inside, given to me when I was hired and in training.

WEBMEDX
can anyone tell me their experience with this company????? Desparate for info.
WEBMEDX DOES
Webmedx allows a window of time for the MT to work their required hours.
WEBMEDX!

Definitely Webmedx! 


WebMedX
Has anyone worked for MebMedX?   Was thinking about applying.
Webmedx
Have worked for Webmedx now for many years - great company!!  They have treated me very well as an MT - flexible schedule, good pay, great incentive pay, etc., plus they have very affordable insurance.  I say go for it! 
Webmedx

Their highest level is 4.  I was just hired at that level.


webmedx
I'm a level 4, and I don't make 10 cpl - how did you swing that?
Webmedx - do they have ICs?
Any info about this company would be appreciated.

About WebMedX
Does WedMedX provide a computer too? What about for PT? Thanks.

WEBMEDX DOES NOT
Webmedx uses their own proprietary program, not Dictaphone ExText.
webmedx
Just a heads up for Webmedx -- they're a great co. but find out how much of their work is ESL and if that's what you really want.
Webmedx

In fact, Spheris just downgraded their insurance this year to where its a joke.  Corporate kept the good policy and MT's got the crap policy "because they use it too much".


Webmedx has very decent BCBS, and costs less than Spheris because Webmedx pays a large portion of the premium for the employee.  That shows they care about their MT's.  I'm glad I made the change.


NOT WebMedX

According to a recent WebMedX ad on the Job Seeker's Board, they DO NOT ACCEPT Satellite.

Working for WebMedX
I have worked for them for over 6 months now.  I really like working for them.  Pay and benefits are good.  I haven't seen much overtime and sometimes they are low on work (only around Labor Day), but they will train you so you have backup accounts.  Good people. They treat you well and have good communication, but don't nag at you.  They are flexible for your working hours.  They pay shift differential and weekend differential.  Pay is based on experience level...and the tests are a little tough for some people.  The accounts they have are all great, as far as I can tell, with good dictators for the most part.  I'm a high level 4, so I get ESLs, but they aren't too bad.  Training is easy to understand and their platform is so easy to use.  They use Shorthand.  I give them a thumbs up!!  My experience has been pretty good.  I have worked for several nationals before them and they are, by far, my favorite and seem to be the most fair pay-wise.  Hope the info helps.
Webmedx offered me 10 cpl
They require at least 1000 lines per week.  Incentive of 11 cpl over a certain amount of lines per week.  This was for their highest level (3).  I think they have a lot of ESL though. 
Not my company, but I think WebMedX has you do this. nm

OldTymer, are you still with Webmedx?
I saw one of your old posts searching archives, I think 2003.  You said you were very happy with company.  Still hold true? 
CHECK OUT WEBMEDX

Check out Webmedx.


WEBMEDX - reviews?
Not enough work at my current job - need a company that offers ER-only work.  Anyone work for them that could share an opinion?  Would love also to hear how much they pay.  Thanks so much!
