Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
CHS transcription company?
Has anyone worked for CHS (Comprehensive HealthCare Services) which is based in Georgia?

Transcription company
Anyone heard of a company called Priority Medical?  I sent my resume to the owner **** but when I check on Internet Priority Medical is not owned by her and she claims she is the owner.  How can I be sure? 
Transcription company
Do not work for her.  She is very cunning and will rip you off your money....she can feign an accident of herself or someone in her family or blame you for incorrect line counts, etc., or blame UPS for not delivering the check, or say Paypal has a problem.....she will use all these methods and more after two or three months.  She plans and executes well to loot people!
honest transcription company

 Does anyone know of an honest transcription firm.  Looking for names.


there is a radiology transcription company in NY - but you
have to live in NY or NJ or even into CT or PA to work for them. But it has to be close to NYC.

Question re: transcription company
Ladies: Has anyone ever heard of Klaar Transcription? I started a PT job with them over 1 month ago. I submit timesheets for lines worked. So far I have only received 1 paycheck. I call their office numbers and no one will answer the phone. President of company said he would "wire" my check if I don't receive it in the mail. He is putting me off. Last PPE was 12/15/05. I am wondering about the integrity of this company. Anybody hear of them? I should have received a paycheck by now. Already called state labor department today. Any ideas out there?

Does anyone know anything about Medical Dictation Transcription Company out of Florida???
Just wondering if anyone knew anything about Medical Dictation Transcription Company?  
I would like to get on with the hospital or possibly the company who handles their transcription.
I have been considering working locally instead of for a national or switching to another company from the company I currently work for. Since losing my initial primary account and having to switch to another account, my income has declined and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. Not sure why, it is not from my lack of working. I just can't seem to make the counts on this new account as I could on my previous account. I now do some editing on top of my transcription due to time restraints I cannot put in any more hours than I already do. Thanks for the input. My husband recently started working at this particular hospital. I am hoping he will be able to find out for me but no luck yet.
I need to know the best unlimited long distance company to use for transcription PLEASE. sm
I have unlimited long distance that is residential.  Any suggestions on which company is best for unlimited long distance to use for transcription?
Thread on Jax Transcription is actually on the company board and not deleted.
Apparently no one has any information, just speculation.
Advertise --get the word out
It might be hard to pick up just a "small" account unless it is a stand alone doctor and then it has to be worth while to probably do pick-up and delivery.  But you just have to get the word out that you are looking and ready to take another account on board but be prepared to do tapes or digital.   Good luck, try chiropractors, psych or podiatrist if you want a smaller account. 
You are correct. Developed by a transcription company, but a division also lease its use to sm

facilities.  I knew that, but had never encountered anyone who works with it in the real world who doesn't not work for the specific company that developed it.  They keep us pretty much in the dark about that stuff.


anyway, when the platform is working well, it is not impossible to make over 300 lph.  350 would be rare, and depend a lot on formatting, what you are paid for and what you are not paid for.


Did this website also advertise or promote
I have only been an MT for 9 years and it has changed dramatically in work and in pay since I first started. I myself have returned to school for another career (something I did not plan to do when I originally went for this), but I will continue to work from home as an MT (hoping my job lasts that long) until I get my degree. How long is your course? (I went to the local community college for 2 years) How much do you have left? Are you interested in doing this as a temp. position while you go back for something else maybe down the road if needed?
FINE ADVERTISE ON MTSTARS
ALL I WAS SAYING WAS THAT THEY GET TONS AND TONS OF RESUMES AND IT'S TOO MUCH TO SORT THROUGH BUT YEAH IT IS FREE AND NO IM NOT BASHING ANYONE MRS. ADMINISTRATOR LADY.
Advertise in India & Pakistan, not the U.S.

Finding out options/information on more efficient ways of running transcription company.
Anyone have any advice on where one would start if one wants to upgrade their current transcription system?  I am an MTSO whose company is growing and I have found that the current call in system is becoming congested as there are only 8 lines and I want to make the move to be internet based, but not quite sure where to begin finding out information about this or what sort of companies I would call to help me get this system in place.  Can anyone offer some advice?  Thanks in advance.
Cingular and T-Mobile advertise prepaid plans.

Spheris offshores - they are not allowed to advertise on this site - sm
I hope that helps in your decision making.
I don't understand why everyone keeps letting Rapid Transcript advertise...SM
They have been doing this for years.  I had to nearly take them to court to be paid for two weeks worth of typing.  I can't believe that they are still getting away with this.  PLEASE, in the best interest of honest MTs looking for an honest day's wage, STOP ALLOWING THEM TO ADVERTISE ON THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER MT JOB WEBSITE.  TIA
It's obvious that MTSOs paying 10+ cpl don't advertise on any job boards I've seen...
This board is anonymous and you would be doing your fellow MTs a great disservice by not sharing the names of all these nationals willing to pay that much per line. I'm about to be evicted so if anyone here would be kind enough to share this information, it would be greatly appreciated! If there are so many MTSOs paying at this rate, you shouldn't have to be concerned about job security by sharing the wealth.
ROFL - it kind of reminded me of the Indian companies who advertise that all of their transcriptioni
have degree, physiology, engineering, some are even doctors.  Yea, that convinces me that they could do this.
Anyone know what OEM means? Looking at keyboards to buy & there are some MS 4000 keyboards advertise
anyone have a clue?
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL?  They use the AIM system. 
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 


I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.


What should I do!?!?!?!


I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!


You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location

VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
It can vary from company to company.
If a company is on one coast and you on the other it can affect shift time, meaning usually if you want to start work 9-10 instead of 11 you could for 3rd shift, etc. 
Buy your own... company computers are for that company only!

some of what you want to know varies from company to company,
client to client. The services each have their own QA grading system and you will get a copy at hire that tells you everything they deduct, and for how many points. This usually also includes formatting, such as wrong dates, right exam/wrong patient, etc.

You will need to know your punctuation and grammar first and foremost and use it properly, this is what you do. THEN if the client requests garbage in/garbage out (usually because they don't trust leaving anything up to us), you give it to them even though it hurts -- and should not be marked off QA for it.

Where do you study? Colleges with the 2 yr transcription course in my state make you take a year (or 2) of English grammar. No offense, but it's pretty much a 5th/6th grade review (is vs are, doctors' vs doctor's).

blanks will be limited, usually to 2, before you cannot send the report to client.

Wrong shortcuts - pay attendion to detail.
Varies from company to company
My first company I chose specifically because I knew they had a mentoring program and you had 12 weeks of "mentoring" to get up to speed. The training was very thorough. The first week was all training classes. There were very limited samples (1-2 per doc if at all). I worked there 6 months and never made their production quota, but they didn't care. When I asked my account manager about it, she said they knew the account was very difficult 95+% ESLs) and she wasn't worried about my production, that I was doing well.

I have also worked with companies that just did a training over the phone (usually about an hour) just to learn the platform. Then they did full QA for a day or two and then I was on my own. For both of these companies, I could review all the past reports of the doctors on the platform. That was really nice. I didn't have production requirements with these positions, just a daily schedule that I had to stick to. They just wanted to know when I would be working.

My recent company gave me a 10-minute training over the phone and gave me a couple of samples of a couple of the harder docs. I then had to submit 3 reports to the account manager to review, and then I was off on my own and was required to meet production immediately.

So it all depends. Each company is different. Good luck on the new job!
