Sleeper teams

Drove team with my husband for a while, we lost our shirts, no money.  Also they are getting stricter with driving hours, sleep hours, etc. especially with sleeper team.  You have to be in the sleeper all the time when you are supposed to be sleeping.   You will not be getting any internet access driving cross country and moving constantly.  Also since many of the trucks are equiped with what they have, they don't allow you to put anything extra on.   So good luck, but I don't see how you will drive and work also.   Do you have a CDL already?   Lots of time when you are sitting for loads (up to eight hours) there was no signal available for anything that we could receive via TV, cell phone, etc.    So you sit and do nothing waiting for the truck to load.

Again, there are professional American search teams in Aruba.
Nobody knows the terrain of the island better than the native Arubans.  Together with advice from the FBI, the search team from Texas and the hundreds of Arubans who do know the island they are doing what they can do.  They do not need the hysterical rants and accusations from Mrs. Twitty
Tom's wives have been consistently
10 years younger than the previous. Looks like he'll be scoping out the Middle Schools soon. LOL.
While I don't believe that wives working is
wrong, I do think the original plan was for us to be homemakers and to take care of our families while the husband did the providing. It hasn't worked that way at my house (LOL) too much, but that's okay, too. My husband and I both work and contribute to the needs of our home. We have 2 grown children and they turned out okay. You can be a good mother even if you have to work outside the home. You just miss a lot that way.
My hubs and I married there and he
thinks that is the only place really to vacation. Been married 7 years and have actually gone back 6 times since. I love the shows, he loves the Rio seafood feast so he goes 1 way and I go the other. Really fun place and we did stay at the Bellagio last time. He is such a sweety wanted to do something really nice for him. The Lexor has really good food. Try that if you get a chance, little out of the way but we think worth it. The Mirage has gone too asian as far as food.
Just wondering if there are other military wives out there who are also MTs? NM

Hubs and son each have one and love them. No problems at all. nm

Maybe it's not for their wives. Maybe they found t hemselves a hooker or something. nm

Don't you love these doctor's wives who have to be in the office
but we all know they're just keeping an eye on the checkbook they married. So pathetic.
Doctor's wives as office mangers
is such a bad idea!  All of the offices I have worked for have had the "wives" as OM's.  They act like every penny they pay comes out of their pockets!  Gawd, once one tried to get rid of me and go to some Indian company and her hubby Dr finally spoke up for himself and said "no way"!!
Waitressing is the only way I know to get immediate money. Can you leave your hubs alone for any

Time for some honesty with the hubs. He'll never know how

I've had nothing but excellent experiences working with wives as OMs.

Hubs always comes into my office to kiss me hello or g'bye if I'm working. :) nm

Sounds like your hubs needs a reality check. Is your income

and you can bet 99% of these guys are married, fat, bald freaks hiding from their wives
while pretending to be rich, attractive, and SINGLE
Could your hubs become a patient of a home health care agency and then you could work for them

My sons are born again too and their wives can't leave the house, home school the kids, no tv,
and if my DIL wanted to work, it is out of the question. One of my sons just believes in having babies and having babies. They now have 5. I divorced his dad and apparently his dad taught them this is the American way. I just feel so bad for both my sons' wives. They both are born again and both live their life that way.
Agree! What about your hubs, kids, sex life, groceries? Something's gotta give if you're doing

Where are the services that pay 11.5?
I have 18 years of experience, and the most I've been offered is 9 cpl and that's jumping through hoops.  11.5 for a company is just not the norm, sorry!
HIM/services will get you any way they can!

Howwouldtheyliketoreadareportjustlikethisandcodeasfastorbill? Maybe we can charge "air time" for all those times the docs leave us hanging while they figure out what they are going to say.


services
Carol, I have never worked for an on-line service but was thinking of switching. I'm tired of getting screwed by the hospital and cheated on line counts. Which services are you speaking of.
Services
Services Provided as Key Activity of the Business

If a worker provides services that are a key aspect of the business, it is more likely that the business will have the right to direct and control his or her activities. For example, if a law firm hires an attorney, it is likely that it will present the attorney’s work as its own and would have the right to control or direct that work. This would indicate an employer-employee relationship.

Does this mean I am not an IC because my company presents my work as its own and they tell me what platform I have to use?
You keep saying they tried other services?
Why did they try other services if they were so happy with you? Maybe they keep coming back, but one day they may not...
What extra services...
I was wondering if any of you MTSOs, or MTs that work for an MTSO, offer any extra services to your clients? For example, do you do their envelopes and labels as well? Or anything else? Keeping in mind that you are not in the same town and that your employees are not in the office or even same state as you, lol. Thanks for any suggestions!

curious
Yes, small services (sm)

used to pay 11 cpl IC, have now sold out to squids who in turn pay 7-8 cpl.


And services left average 8 cpl, if you're really experienced you'll get 10 or 11 and get such bad dictation you'll get a headache you'll never forget. 


ICs can work for services, as well. nm

Funeral services
I agree. I personally did not attend my first funeral until I was in my mid 20s, even when my beloved grandmother died, it was her wish that we "kids" not attent (age 12 at the time). I have never forced my own son to attend as a child either. I now feel obligated to attend services for husband's family, etc but always dread the whole ordeal, even for just a distant relative, etc. Grateful that my parents also will not be having formal services, just simple cremation. You must do what YOU feel is right for your child and your own situation.
armed services
My sone joined the Navy in his junior year of college. He went in as an officer. They finished paying his college and then sent him for Officers training. He is now teaching nucler physics for them for 4 years and go do something else in the Navy after 4 years to do anything he wants.
Did you get a contract for your services?????
If so check your contract.

if not

Are they normals he supplied you?? If not then are they YOUR MACROS???? If they are then I would think they would be your property. Did he pay for your ShortHand or Office programs or even your spellchecker????? Did he furnish your computer?????

If your answer is repeatedly no then perhaps you should tell him NO money No macros.

Just my humble opinion.
And then company has right to not use services

Not being paid for IC services

What steps can I take to collect payment for my services as an IC?  Company is ignoring me.  The only thing I can think of is to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  Hiring a lawyer wouldn't be worth it.  Thanks.


Transcend Services

Thanks so much for the information. 


 


When you market your services with a
business name and a business license, it shows the doctors or hospitals that you are representing yourself as a professional business and are not just a homemaker or housewife trying to make a few extra bucks. They will treat you with more respect and take you more seriously, and in turn will be willing to pay you a fair rate as a respectable businesswoman. Think about any business in your community or town. They all first procure a business name and a business license before they open their doors. You may be working from home, but you can will present yourself in this fashion. I would also suggest obtaining a P.O. Box to use as your business address instead of using your home address. Believe me, this works. I have been running a successful small MT business from home for over 20 years now, and I support my entire family on my earnings.
No, these services have not cleared
it with their legal staff. If they did, they would not be advertising IC status and flexible schedules, then presenting a contract that requires Tuesday through Saturday, set hours, or Sunday thru Thursday, set hours. No, no one has to accept a contract, and I certainly would not under those conditions. I bet there are a lot of MTs though who need jobs, don't know the law, and who are willing to accept a contract under those conditions. However, it is ILLEGAL under IRS guidelines. If the national MTSOs have consulted their attorneys, then pray tell why are they hiring ICs, controlling their schedules? Under those circumstances, they are considered employees under the law, and these large nationals KNOW IT. I'd fire my attorney if I was told it was okay to operate under the screen of IRS detection. No, you do not have to shy away from services and find your own accounts. Get real. I subcontract to MTSOs, albeit smaller ones, as an IC, and do not have my own accounts. Right now, I am under contract to only 1, and I am not breaking any IRS laws in doing so.
MRT Services - anyone familiar with them?
Anyone ever heard of MRT Services? I saw them online. Please provide feedback.
Gmrtranscription Services

Good morning,


Has anyone heard of Gmrtranscription Services or Verilogue?


I am testing for a home position and I am curious about their reputation.


They transcribe physician/client interactions for medical marketing research.


Any advice is appreciated.


Kymee


I didn't say they tried other services after

Yep, I know they've used Medquist, MRC, Medifax (long time ago - don't think it's the same Medifax that I think is in existence now) and some local services I won't name because they'd be identifiable by their names.  How do I know this?  I knew about it before I even went on my own; in fact, that's one of the reasons I did it.  I saw a need for QUALITY transcription, not the crap that was coming back from services, and I knew i coulld provide that.  Also, I have contacts in the HIM world who told me by name the services they used and what poor quality/turnaround time they were getting. 


Transcend services
Has anyone heard of Transcend Services? Is this a good company to work for? I need to find a dependable reliable national co to work for.  Thanks for any advice

Has anyone worked for Telerecruiting Admin Services, or do you know someone that has. A friend keeps getting email from them, and wants to know if they actually hire or pay people the wages they advertise? TIA.

Academy of Business Services
Has anyone ever heard of these people - they are advertising for a conference in my area for people interested in learning medical billing.  Does anyone know if they are legit or a scam?  Any info would be appreciated. 
Services are having to lower their prices, too..sm
I get routinely outbid for work by other services who are willing to do 24 hour TAT and fax or print the reports - all for 11 cents per line...So don't be too sure the services are making all the money either!
Creating a proposal for services
I have been asked to submit a proposal for transcription services for a local imaging facility.  The dictation is accessed over the internet and the reports are typed directly into their own system.  I am a bit sketchy on how to submit a proposal like this.  Can anybody provide me with a "sample."  I will be hiring additional subcontractors to help me on this account.  I have only been employed as an outside contractor on one-site facilities and dont really know all the wording that is needed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
