Webmedx pays fairly well, not flexible, though.
They used to hire with a 12-hour window, but I have heard they don't do that anymore, just a straight 8 schedule. Good luck.
appx. 1,111 lines would be 100$ nm

How flexible is flexible? A window of time? nm

cents a line at Webmedx
I get 8.5 It's a moderately difficult acute care account... not too heavy ESL This is my third year with them.
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Just sent it off Friday, so I guess it could take a couple of days. I am just ready to make the leap and I think I am leaning towards this company. They sound pretty good from their ad and I see few/if any negative posts about them.
Just curious how long the whole process will take from application to testing to potential hiring and beginning work. Any input?
line count requirement at Webmedx
Last week I trained on a my account,which is very large with many dicators. Today is the end of my first full week of production and I am averaging 110 lph. The requirements are 150 lph. My trainer said that studies show it takes an average of 30 days to get used to a new account and reach production. Therefore, I have 2 more weeks to reach 150 lph,and I am worried. My supervisor said to work towards goal, but I know line count is the bottom line. Can any Webmedx MTs shed some light on what they have experienced. Also, is it usually customary to give at least 90 days? My quality is good;however, I really need to crank out the lines. Thanks

Sent in the initial application, got an immediate E-mail with some different questions on it which I submitted 2 days ago.
Really want to work for this company part time for now, possibly full time later.
Any info appreciated.
Same for Webmedx - 70% of your regular line rate. sm
That's better than some - I hear a few pay a flat rate of 2 or 3 cpl for editing!
Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?

Webmedx hiring bonanza and line counts
Webmedx has been hiring quite a few new grads lately for a brand new account. The expectation is for 150 lph after approximately one month. I find this more than a tad optimistic for brand new grads and, althought I've been offered a position with them, am just a little bit leery. Any thoughts anyone?
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
Webmedx - don't think I get get line count in for payperiod this time. (sm)
Several days of no/low work and last weekend when usually can pick up lines there was nothing. This weekend will be last weekend of payperiod so I don't hold any big hopes for that.
I am relatively new to Webmedx and this will be the first time I haven't hit the requirements. Can you tell me what might happen if anything. Thanks.
You DO get a line rate increase for passing the CMT at Webmedx. sm
Ask your supervisor.
Webmedx pays 70% of your regular line rate. nm
.
Webmedx Editors, how are they paid (per line or hourly)? Do they reimburse for
CMT examination fee or pay part of it? Do they give any kind of consideration for MTs or Editors with their CMT?
She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm
.
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.
How flexible are they? sm
How flexible are they with scheduling. If something comes up in the middle of a shift or you need to make an appointment during that time, can you come on before or stay after your shift if you let them know ahead of time? What if you are 15 minutes late, do you have to call in or just work an extra 15 minutes over? TIA
Flexible
I know they require a schedule but is there any flexibility in that schedule, such as a window of time within your scheduled hours?
Not any more, but they are flexible.
a
They are very flexible
I have been there for 5 months, and they have been more than flexible with me. If I ever need time off, I can just make it up on another day so as not to lose any lines, and they have absolutely no problems with that. There is life insurance and supplemental insurance through Aflac.
They have always been VERY flexible with me
Yes, you do have to wait a year to get your paid vacation time, which I have finally just reached, but if I have ever needed time off in the past, they have never had a problem with me switching my schedule around or just plain taking days off. I do well over the required line count, so this has never been a problem for me. Good luck in whatever you decide!
How Flexible? sm
I think it's totall cool that y'all are doing this. Our industry doesn't ever go out of its way to help us when docs dictate horribly (the low-talkers, the noisy room, the one who spells simple words the entire report, etc., etc.), but it sure isn't that way in most every other occupation (even nursing, for example). So while we need to collectively stand up for ourselves and stop accepting such ridiculousness, it's survival, sanity, and everything else to work PT jobs.
From what I've read over time, it sounds like many/most of these PT jobs are where the MT clearly makes her own hours. Am I terribly off-base here? Just curious.
I, too, have my ins. covered by my hubby, so am interested in these posts. Of course, I'm also really tired of the line counts and all at the Q.
Thanks for all this input.
she is NOT all that flexible...maybe for you she is..sm
Pay is low....on those Editscript accounts you will get about 80% VR and she deals with MANY companies, many of them who deal with India. What reallly got to me was her wanting a schedule from the MT as an IC....a STRICT schedule.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm

Flexible hours
you can pretty much set up your own hours (after training) with Spheris. I work a split shift through the week which accommodates my home life and I enjoy the time I have with my husband and children. I still get in my 40 hours per week, OT from time to time, but if you exceed your line count per day, OT not really necessary. Sometimes OT is mandatory, but this is very rare. I have a super who is A1 and have never had a problem when asking for a bit of time off (of course, I make sure to schedule additional time if I am able to).
Flexible Hours?
Can anyone give me an idea of what companies offer the most flexible hours? I can work fulltime, but my hours must vary slightly week to week. I will always get my time in, but I am not able to commit to 9-5 or any "set" schedule. I have 3 children and their schedules tend to change often. Thanks. I have 3 years of experience.
Flexible schedules
Amphion Medical Solutions: You can say you will work 5 hours a day, or 20 hours a week, but that is about as vague as they can tolerate. Contact HR@amphionmedical.com
pretty flexible
I've found them to be pretty flexible, so long as you put in at least 35 hours a week. I was just saying in some other thread that I can knock off two hours early if I want so long as the hours all balance out at the end of the week.
If you're wondering about clocking in and out for breaks, it's really to your benefit to do that, as you'll get a better line count.
They also seem fairly flexible. sm
I was quite impressed with what they had to say and they are the best offer I've had since I started looking around 3 months ago.
Thanks again.
Maybe for a particular account but some are very flexible. I do not
work weekends ever. I won't and am not forced to but I know that some accounts require weekend work.
No...they are really flexible with schedules..nm

Flexible companies
I know of three that will allow you a window for your work: Meridian, MDI-MD, and Futurenet. I have not worked for Meridian or Futurenet, but I can say that I think MDI-MD is a super place to work.
Sorry.. I mean FLEXIBLE.. not flexibility
nm
They are by no means flexible
or on the next page you will see comments .... You are scheduled certain hours whether there is work or not. Which work is VERY Low.
Are they very flexible about hours?

Flexible schedule
This comes up a lot, but you have to look at it from their point of view. You are an employee and therefore expected to work a scheduled shift. They can't have their MTs signing on and working whenever they please they have to know the accounts are covered. Hey, if that's the worst thing we can say about them, then that's a really good thing. They really are worth giving up a weekend and 3 holidays a year for all the benefits of being a Transtech MT. I've worked for several companies, including some of the big boys, none can compare to TransTech. I'll be with them until I retire.
flexible schedule
MDI of Maryland allows a 24-hour window to do whatever lines you commit to. I work for them and have a flexible schedule. Phone 301-921-2006. Tell them you want to get in touch with Carlotta.
How flexible is their scheduling? sm
Don't they have a 12 hour window to get work done in?
Flexible Scheduling
Are there other companies that offer flexible scheduling, or rather line commitments, instead of a fixed shift - like MDI-MD?
if they have the flexible schedule you want, then
you sound like you're just out here to pitch MDI-MD.
Keystrokes very flexible
I have found that with them also, life does happen.
Ahh, flexible . . . . 24-hour TAT nm
x
Try Phoenix-they are very flexible sm
and have a 24 hour window for completion of your work. Very nice people.
flexible hours
Are there any companies that let you work flexible hours, i.e. 24 TAT but not a strict schedule? I already have a full time job but looking to supplement nights and weekends. Thanks.
I thought about flexible IC too
Please email me and let me know a good company to try for flexible IC.
Be flexible and you will get your lines and then some. nm
I do.
I think they're flexible about that
I've been there for a year; agreed to work a set shift, but then was reminded by supe the window is there, and I can always flex my time - if there's down time due to IT issues, they certainly believe in it, if there's OT available, I work it during my window, etc. They're not going to micromanage your time clock, if something occasionally comes up on their end or mine, and I punch out for a while and come back and finish my time during the window, nobody notices or comments. I officially work 3pm - 11pm, my window is 3pm-3am. As long as I punch in promptly at 3pm, they don't seem very worried at what point I punch out.
I think its merely a matter of wanting a guarantee that most of the time you'll be present and accounted for during the set shift. As someone else mentioned, I think some people were abusing it, so they're not trying to give people the idea that they can just work whenever each day. If I started consistently showing up a couple hours late, when the work is lighter, it might become a problem, so I wouldn't do that unless I cleared it with my supe.
If you truly want IC/flexible hours...
those companies are few and far between. Most companies want you to pick a schedule and stick to it, even as an IC. If you want to e-mail me, I can give you a couple companies that are truly IC, you can e-mail me.
