Probably brand new. Lots of new graduates get out there and try to start businesses all the time. nm

What companies cut you off at 40 hrs if you're a FT employee? Any places let you do as much as
g
But wouldn't that also open the door for MTs to get in trouble for lying about companies? sm
There are lots of dubious posts out there by MTs who are sure they know the truth but maybe they stretch things too b/c they had a bad experience; maybe they were legitimately let go and now have it in for someone. Anyway, I don't think there is any legal coverage on this site or any other b/c (as stated) it is an anonymous forum.
Basically take everything with a grain of salt!
Open RadNet first and then open IT. Then the up Arrow and highlight to link, then OK.

Really sad where people will readily list places they hated but not name places that are great.
What a wonderful, sharing group of people MTs are. :-(
Any companies out there that start you at .09 cpl

companies who start off with a bad impression
Sometimes we MTs have tunnel vision about a job and will persevere until we get it, thinking we are getting what we want, only to realize that the warning signs were there from the get-go.
If a company is rude to begin with, there is no logic in thinking it is going to get better after you are hired. I now listen to my gut (a show on Discovery Channel pontificated that we have a *second brain* there, a warning brain) and see with my eyes what is real and what is rose-colored. Those *funny feelings* about things are there to keep us from making mistakes. Listen to them.
And I hope you find a soft place to land. 
Are there any companies out there who provide benefits at start....sm
instead of having to wait 90 days? If so, how are they to work for?
My advice to you is start applying with other companies
Cobra is extremely expensive and you have to qualify for Medicaid. It is usually for indigent people. I think it also takes a while to get qualified. If you get on with a new company and you currently have insurance, you usually don't have a waiting period with your new insurance coverage like you do if you let it lapse. I've seen ads inviting displaced Heartland MTs to apply with companies.
What are some easy companies for a remote transcriptionist to start with?
I have been a Transcriptionist for 5 years. Are there any easy companies out there to start with as a remote MT. I have tried to work with one company at home but the training process was very complicated and required A LOT of computer knowledge. I need to know some good companies to check out and some of the ones to stay away from.
Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
Can you tell us what brand? SM
I have tried many and not found good ones, so I'm asking you. It's worth a try! I'd love to invest in some but have not found any real good ones. Years ago Radio Shack had some awesome ones but they did not seem to have them at this time, mostly just what you can get anywhere. Thanks
BRAND NEW?
I'm wondering why nobody responded to this post. Is the company brand new? Or, so bad that nobody wants to share? Or, does the company forbid any posting here by its employees/ICs?
eMachines is just the brand of computer
It doesn't determine whether your computer would be compatible with a platform or not. Your operating system, word processing software, and browser are the key factors for compatibility with a platform, I believe.
brand versus generic.....
but that's why we have reference materials!! When I started doing the job, I was lucky to FIND the medications!!! (I just started off the street...) Actually, the person that said that was correct, we don't necessarily always KNOW if drugs are generic or brand name, but it is our job to find out and spell/capitalize it correctly. Yes, it's time-consuming but hopefully once you have looked it up a few times, you'll learn it or at least be able to put it in your auto keys!! Well said MyMT!!
Not brand-new info, but recent. (sm)
I think the rate I had there was 8 or 8.5 cents a line, as an IC, which isn't great. The problems I had with them were that they did not use direct deposit for IC's and the checks ALWAYS took at least 15 days to come. They said it was a slow post office. I took the envelope to the post office and they looked at the postmark and said it had only just been mailed 3 days earlier, which means they mailed it 12 days late but would not admit it, nor would they let me have direct deposit or overnight (even though I offered to pay for the overnight service). That was annoying as heck, as it happened every single pay period. The other issue was that they required me to work Sundays, and yet I ran out of work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. I was supposed to hit 1100 lines every Sunday and it never ever happened even when I started at 4 a.m. Oh, and when I moved to where there was only satellite internet available, they told me they were compatible with satellite, and they weren't, so I had to find another job fast and they couldn't ever figure out why it wasn't compatible, as their tech was actually just an MT who had taken a computer course. Oy. I liked the work, the supervisors, etc., but it wasn't great. I left almost a year ago and never looked back.
Probably a brand new company. Never mentioned here or "elsewhere" before now. nm

An emachine is just a computer brand. I have one, no problems.
nm
The only time I've seen this, it was a brand new account sm
The whole team had to go on QA and be released one by one. It was time-consuming but I guess the client had demanded it.
FOR LONG TIME MT: generic : Brand.....s/m
No, MTs are NOT supposed to KNOW if a med is generic or brand. HOW COULD WE? We are not doctors and no pharmacists.
How can we know, especially if it is the first time that we encounter this drug?
We have to LOOK it UP, what often takes a lot of time. But we do it. Because we HAVE to know if we have to Cap it or not cap it.
Do you know that Brand drugs are CAPPED, whereas generic are NOT CAPPED??? I suppose not, otherwise YOUR COMMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT.
As what do you function: As an MTSO, MT or QA??
I hope that the time will come that MTSOs AND QAs will be made OBSOLETE, likewise this AAMT, now AHDI (or whatever), because they cause ONLY CHAOS and MONEY !
YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY!
They may be brand new. Ask them how long in business if you make contact. nm

I have an idea..we should all start a list of MT companies that are no payers, bad payers, and late
but it is even worse when no one knows their record until they find out the hard way as they sit around waiting to get paid. I think it's rude to bounce checks, pay people late or not at all. We're not all working for free because we wanted to donate our time. We need to work to survive and those companies just prey on people. If they are getting paid, yet they can't pay their MTs, I'd say that someone doesn't know how to manage money. I just find it sad.
And you just started on DQS brand new account and make 260 lph. You are extremely amazing but to be
honest I dont believe you.
Is it proprietary software you guys are using or a "name brand," like ChartScript, etc.? nm
s
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

if you are open to another
company that hires part-time and pays PTO (with PT), e/m me.
Don't be so down on yourself. When that even better job comes open...sm
you'll be ready. No biggie, and don't let the meanies get to you. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect.
She did say she would call you when the next job came open. In the meantime, maybe call her back and ask her to make sure she calls your land line as it is the one you use most.
It won't open for me either.

Are your eyes open?
Do you work for OSi? If not, quit bashing them. If so, why haven't you secured another position due to your unhappiness?
why they keep amherst open
amherst office runs all of the east coast offices. So you are probably safe if you tell HR you want to be managed by the west coast team. I think they are much nices to their MTs
keep your ears open
things are being restructured,it will most likely affect your office.
Still cannot open the files
The people at Type Right mentioned that they use Gear Player and that is what I use and I still cannot open up the files. I called technical support and they could not figure it out either. They said the files were corrupted. Sounds like something strange is going on if the rest of the people cannot open up the files either. I think I better pass on this company!
they have my open position at TTS
I QUIT! LOL
here's an open post for you
you are an idiot
No, I mean 60 positions open
and available for filling. Even if she meant 16, that is quite a bit. Again, more information available upon (E-mail) request.
keep your options open
nm
open letter
You could not said it any better.!!!!
The HR is not open on weekends nm
nm
go open your own company and sm
maybe then you can give all your profits to the MTs. NOT! I bet you would be like any other business owner, keep the profits. That is the point of having your own business!
Okay, lets get something in the open. (sm)
I am so not stressing about it. It was a random question because I have been lied to in the past about having to take a pay cut. Was it really a true need or a true greed?
Lets not fight about. There is nothing wrong with wondering.
Always keep an open mind, but...
Been here, done this several times, none have resulted in mutual benefit. My position, Transcend has much to prove.
P.
I always keep an open mind
I kept an open mind when the company I worked for (ddi, Inc) sold out to the Q. It was fine for a couple of years and then......well, I wasn't there anymore, need I say more?
I see that open door
Yeah, I'll just get in line behind 10 former teammates that just got the ax, all the MDI'ers looking for a new gig, and locally, the 450 people whose plant just closed. Once I get through that crowd, I can then compete with my current teammates who are also looking for a second job/replacement job because they are eyeying the open door too, in between competing with one another for work.
Once I claw my way through the desperate crowd of job seekers and into another job, I can wait a year or so, run across the same scenario at the next company, and start looking for work again when their work pool mysteriously dries up.
Or I could just blow my brains out and avoid repeating this loathesome, demoralizing cycle for the next 20 years until I'm retirement age. Thanks for helping me ponder my options.
Which three offices will remain open?
Do you know?
I would open the discussion by calmly
asking what the procedure is for assigning work. If you don't get the info you need, ask if there are any other accounts available which will enable you to be more productive. If you are working in an atmosphere where you are afraid to ask questions, it sounds like the wrong job and you might need a change. Good luck.
Does anyone have the # to Spheris Help Desk? My TWS will not open. TIA

They have a recruiter position open that they
are advertising for.
I couldn't even get their test to open for me so I could take it.

Be aware of the open medical
in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Be very aware of the supervisor. Not a good place. Three new employees, all three walked within the first six months. Just thought I would put a warning out!!!
open letter to Diskriter
You are having such a horrid time filling those job positions that I am willing to give it a go, but only for 12 cpl. Let me know. Yours very truly.
You're SO right! Not only China, but now the US has an open (sm)
trade agreement with KOREA... another less-than-scrupulous part of the world.
As for the name of the guy you talked to in India, I have noticed that with Dell Computers. When you get tech support, whether on the phone or by email or instant message, they always have an American-sounding name. That seems purposely deceptive.
