Anyone have any info on Eight Crossings, Inc, or Sierra Medscribe?


Or know any services that will either accept MTs with dial-up, or help pay for satellite?

Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Exactly what I was seeking
Yes, this the kind of advice I was seeking. Thank you!!!
I'm seeking out a second job...
Right now. I don't mind helping a company meet their goals and deadlines, as long as they help me meet my goals and deadlines by giving me enough work to make enough to live on.

Hopefully it won't come down to me having to seek out a 3RD job.
Seeking information
Could anyone tell me anything about MDI on their Meditech Radiology Accounts? I would like to hear from anyone who is currently or have been previously employed with this company.  Specifically concerning their line counting, is this calculated by Meditech or some other method?  How accurate do you feel their method is and if you could maybe give me an average estimate on daily line counts you have experienced.  Also anything you can tell me about the work flow for the weekends.  Does it easily run out?  Any information would be appreciated.  Thank you.
Seeking information
Sorry about that.  FL
I was seeking a response
from someone other than my TL because she makes me feel I'm bothering her.  In general, what is the role of a team leader?
Seeking my own account
If anyone has an account in the Atlanta, GA area that they'd like to pass on or know of a doc who is looking for a reliable Transcriptionist (work from home), please email me.

seeking work
I need some advice on applying for jobs.  I have 8 years acute experience but have never worked for an online company.  I have my own computer, and am willing to add any programs, buy the books, whatever.  I am fairly firm about not working Sundays or graveyard, but all the rest of the week is fine.  I want to quit this in-house job and go home.  I have applied to 6 companies;  one likes me but said they have no work which I am taking as a nice brush-off - I aced everything - I aced all the written tests, flunked the first company's transcription test, but now I  either don't get that far or I pass the trans test.  I am knocking myself out, leaving this in-house job nightly and spending at leats 2 more hours on the compuer applying.  What is it?  ARe there any tips?  Is it that I've never worked from home?  Please help me just a little if you can. I'm losing my self-confidence.

to the person seeking J from RX Transcription
email me. I used to work with J too and I live in the town next to her. I can help you get in touch.
new here/wanting to leave MQ/seeking a better place!
That's right, MQ has finally really, really gotten to me after eight long years!  I have told and told and told myself that it's okay there are major lawsuits against the company that imply terrible wrongdoing, it is okay that MQ seems to change CEOs every few months, it is okay that I haven't had a raise in two years, it is okay that I do a brilliant job without anyone caring... and finally, finally, it is just not okay.  I am talking to Medware who apparently won Employer of the Year in 2002 and 2005.  Can I get a witness?  Anybody work for them?  What about Spheris?  Flexibility of schedule is utterly crucial to me, and I have to have benefits, so no IC work.  Where can I go where they'll appreciate me?  I'm a former high school English teacher with 15 years as an MT (8 in acute care) and some QA experience.  Help???
Seeking home-based MT job from Canada!!!

Hello, I am seeking a full-time MT job from home (in Canada). I want to work for a great company that pays well. I also want my computer and all required supplies paid by the company. I will pay for high speed internet!! Where I reside, we have fibreoptic telephone lines - therefore it is the best place to do medical transcription, the quickest speed of voice data and the clearest in north america!! We also rarely have storms here! I live in New Brunswick, 1 hour for calais, Maine.


I have 5+ years of experience and I am also a coder trained in Toronto. HOpe to hear from you soon. Thanks!

Desperately seeking psych trans job from home

good company

I have been working for JLG for the past month or so and I have to say I am very impressed.  This company delivers what they pitch in the interview.  They do small things to make you feel part of the company and to make you feel important, but the best part is that so far they have paid on time, with absolutely no hassels of any kind.  They strive to make sure that you do not run out of work.  I am now assigned to 3 different accounts and so far the work has been more than I can do.  They also pay comparable line rates according to other companies across the board. 


I wanted to put this out there just in case someone is looking for a position.  As I understand it, one of their requirements is that you have 3 years experience with acute care transcription.  It has been stated to me several times that they are looking to hire a large number of transciptionsts, so possibly some of you can look into their company.  So far, I am very pleased, especially coming from the last company that I worked for.  I will be posting about that company later.   


Good company
Where did all former SS employees go.  I am looking for a good company.
GOOD COMPANY
PROSCRIPT - GREAT company... try them.
I'm in good company, then! :) Thanks!

good company to QA for?
Any advice? I need a new job with some good benefits.
Good company
I work with AccuStat and so do 10 friends of mine. We all love it. The pay is different but that is designated by the clients and not Accustat. You will love working with them. You will see that any bad remarks made about them are usually by MTs that were fired for poor work. That is true of most of these bad things written on these companies. You made a good choice! AccuStat is a great company!!
What is a good company?
Okay, Spheris does not sound good and Ascend sounds like they do not pay.  So anybody have any suggestions for a possibly to be ex-MQer.
Good company
I work for one, too.  They don't bother me - and the communication is very good.  What specialities do you transcribe?  Therein may lie the answer to your problem.  If you have limited your experience by transcribing radiology or clinic work for years, losing any acute care or other specialty experience that you may have had - then the problem does not lie in the company, but in the fact of the path that you  have chosen.
good company SOMETIMES
They will use ya and be great when they need ya. They will dump ya in a heartbeat when they find someone else who they can pay less and all the sudden you have no work. They are unethical and only care about bottom dollar. Me and 7 of my friends left them when they did this to us.
Good company
They used to be under another name and were bought out.  There's plenty of work and you don't deal with a huge staff, just 2 people and that's it.
Good PT company

Does anyone know an excellent company who hires part-time transcriptionists and furnishes equipment?


 


Good company
I haver orked for Medquist for about eight years or so as a PT.  I have no problems, they pay on time and are a good company to work for.  They do supply the computer and whatever you.  I was using my own computer intil they changed their program and I then began using their computer.  It is free.  Good luck. 
Good company
Wow, I just reviewed my post and the spelling is terrible.  I could say I just got through working about five hours and I am ready to quit, but I apologize for the errors. 
good company definitely!!
I have worked for this company for over three years. They have bent over backwards to keep me happy and my pay has always been fair and on time. I communicate with at least 30 other Accustat EMR MTs who would agree wholeheartedly!!!
A lot of changes in a company good or bad?

A company I've been working for since October on an awesome account is making some changes recently that I'm not exactly thrilled with.  I love my account and that is all.  It is a great money making account when there is work, A BIG WHEN!!!  Work is consistently low and now we are supposed to work a certain shift and not go outside that shift.  The problem being we are often running out of work or work starts late and we often can't get it finished in that time period.  The biggest thing keeping me there is my production on that account when there is work.   The company is now requiring a lot of paperwork to keep up with hours worked, line production, QA's reports, requiring us to sign in to 2 different sites to fill out required information along with a productivity sheet (all taking up time that we don't get paid for).  I've also been told by HR that I will need to get a secondary to make my lines during my shift but also told that they dont' have a secondary acct available.  I've been asking for one for 5 months now without success and finally just got a second job a couple months ago.


Now for my consideration I am also working at this second company where I don't make as much an hour because I'm still working up my production, but work is available when I need it, more than I need actually.  I'm never sitting there refreshing queue begging for reports and I don't have to worry about wasting time. 


I have the option to remain PT and do both or quit the 1 with inconsistent work (but the awesome acct.) or do the other one FT and cut down on a whole lot of stress.  I just hate to say goodbye to that awesome account. 


Can someone recommend a good company?

You can only find out so much from a company's website......of course they are not going to include "not enough work to keep you busy" or "so much work you will never leave your desk again" or even better yet "we really never send you a paycheck."   I am looking for a full-time home-based position, preferably clinic, and I do have experience.  Can someone recommend a company?!?!?!?!


                                                             


Normally a good, fair company

Generally, I'm left alone to do my work, which is what I prefer.  Not much contact with my coordinator unless I initiate it or do something stupid.  In days gone by there was enough work to go around, and on occasion when there was a backlog there were ample bonuses.  That hasn't happened in a long while.  There was also a quarterly reveiw bonus (for 100% QA), but there have been staff changes that evidently have precluded reviews as we haven't had one in 2 or 3 quarters, now (and thus, no bonus). 


The pay isn't great, but the work is good, the platform easy, most of the dictators clear.  I have just general clinic accounts, but I understand the VA accounts pay more. 


I've seen this a number of times before.  Each time of absolutely bone dry work was immediately after an ad (and I suppose subsequent hiring).  It's disappointing.  What's worse is that when I was hired I was probably the cause of someone else being out of work. . .


Can anyone suggest a good company

Not perfect just decent, I have a year experience so deffinately still learning, I work as an IC on Acute Care but the work runs out and I want to keep this job and have another MT job for I'm getting tired of my office job... Figure I might as well do what I like for a living


 



Any suggestions for a GOOD company?

I have 15 years experience.  Looking for a company that is very flexible on scheduling (full time student also) and treats employee like a human.



Good Company to Work For
I really need to make a change.  Can those of you out there that REALLY LIKE the company you work for send me a line?  I have already applied to quite a few, and now it's decision time.  I appreciate any input you can give me.    Thanks in advance!    PJ
MDI is good, has troubles like any other company.
I love it; if I have an issue, I speak to my team leader and it gets resolved. My paycheck is on time and I support my kids.

You are correct, you should just sit in a corner and type and on your days off, look for another job.

There are too many companies out there to be unhappy and bitter. Hope you find one that suits you better.
Does anyone know of a good company for radiology...
with non-teaching hospitals and decent rates?
Good company for Radiology
WEBMEDX - and they are hiring Radiology MTs right now.
Any good rad company recommendations?
Does anyone know of a company that a Transcriptionist with 23 years of experience would find to be to her liking; i.e., plenty of work, good dictators, respectable company to work for, etc.
You are not going to find a good company
didn't pay. Well, SS will work you to death and with the ESL's you will have to work 24/7 just to make enough to buy 10 gallons of gas. Does this tell you anything?
well you must have a good offshore company because the one that I QA for
is just horrendous!!! Horrendous is the word I would use for them on a good day!!! But I need the job and the company I work for is offshoring most of the work because we cannot get transcriptionists here to work their schedules. It bothers me on several levels, especially that the hospital does not know about it.
SS is a good company. I work as QA though so I don't know from
an MT perspective on the work load. Been with them almost a year.
I like your company...good rule/sm
Some places make you feel like if you don't search and search then you are inadequate. But I don't get paid to research, I get paid to type. I will research a reasonable amount of time and that is it.
Good luck getting 10 cpl from a company

Unheard of in my opinion.  However, even though it works out (so you say) to 6.5 cpl, you do not have to deal with the client.  I will not sit for hours either and work my own schedule, do not have to do a certain amount of lines and can "crank" out work too, but I'd rather work for 8 cpl than deal with office managers, office staff that lose things, and also fight with the accounting department to get my check.  Yes, I have two of my own accounts and only one of them pays on time every time.  So, you see, there is more to life than cpl. 


For the OP:  When you are an IC, you are self-employed, so you want to keep track of your write-offs.  Do some research and you will see all that can be written off due to the fact that it is a business expense, i.e., mileage, equipment, office supplies, your home office, etc.  You may want to check with an accountant/tax professional for guidance. 


Is Diskriter a good company?
I see many ads for Disriter, but relatively few people reading the ad as opposed to the other MTSO posters.   Why is this?  Anyone work for them?  Are they an affilitate of the Q?
So, who's a good company to work for?
I have 8 years of experience in many MT specialties. What are the best companies that are HIRING? TIA.
It is referred to as MDI-Maryland, and it is a good company.
What is it you want to know?

You work as SE (statutory employee).

Set your own schedule, direct deposit, great line rate, always work available (too much sometimes), easy platform. Anything else?

I will try to answer any other questions.
Thanks. It's a local rad company, so it'd probably be a good thing.
IF I can even do it.
