Yes there is a major backlog on that account
nm
Not my C-phone account. Just got a backlog report

what are you talking about - there is a huge backlog on the oncology account....
they are even offering bonuses to help get the work load into TAT. What account are you on and what center are you talking about?
Medware and Allstate hiring - no jobs available either place!
why do they do that?
They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.
True IC jobs
I would love to hear from you regarding true IC work. My E mail is posted.
Too good to be true but any QA jobs available
That is not true. It varies from account to account. I have
several internet accounts and on some you do have to input the patient information.
This is true..Put it this way. I made $45,000 this year but worked 3 jobs and at least 60
hours a week and sometimes up to 80. I have no desire to do that anymore. I'd be happy with $35,000 working 40 hours a week. What a dream job.
Very low on my primary account with my FT job, but busy with my PT jobs. sm
Unfortunately, I need the lines at the FT job not only for the $$$ but to maintain my benefits. Kinda scary. 
That is true. I had one account that
was actually a major hospital network chain that happened to be located in the town I live in. We lost that account, but it was not due to offshoring. When their contract was up, they decided to bring the majority back inhouse and the overflow went to a couple of smaller local MTSOs. I know because I know several of the MTs that worked for them at the time. It is not always offshoring.
Not true, I get that for a WONDERFUL VA account. NM
;-)
true, but any MT can ask to help out on an OT account. Simple as that. nm
.
Not true...I am on an account that is flexible...
nm
NOT TRUE! I worked every account and all work types and couldn't
nm
That's not always true. I have been editing a Powerscribe account for 2 years. The work sm
has actually steadily increased due to fewer and fewer radiologists self-editing their own work.
I know of at least 4 other Powerscribe accounts at Keystrokes that are also increasing in volume for the same reason.
I am sorry that the account you were on with Webmedx went to total self-edit. I know that Keystrokes had a few that did that too, just not all of them.
Are you looking at same backlog I am? sm
There are literally hundreds of jobs available now on a number of different accounts. What you need to do is discuss with your STM getting on some of these accounts.
At least you can see the backlog report
NM
You are SO right..the least backlog and emails fly. Overstaffed now for sure. nm
nm
Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
Did anyone else stop getting backlog emails?
Usually get an email from the account liason in the mornings plus backlog reports through the day and then suddenly I get no email at all from them. But I can still log on and work. I know they were changing the email system and I got the email last week sometime I think asking if they had the correct email address, and to let them know if not, but then I stopped getting emails!
Why is that Rah Rah? Don't you check the backlog page?
I get tired of ppl who shoot down every positive post when they are TRUE....
Discharge Summary Backlog
work. Did anyone apply for it?
...always a backlog by the client. If it ever gets cleaned up, you have no work for that day. This
s
For some of us, it can last all day. Just look at the Acct Backlog page, especially on the weekend.
Maybe we all have the same supervisor. Don't know. Can you have accounts that are under more than 1 STM?
The backlog page doesn't always show all the OT - sm
Beg to differ - my STM just send her daily update saying you could work extra on about 6 different accounts. I saw another STM this morning saying the same thing in her update. So sorry if I offended you.
One person's experience is not everyone else's. If you are limited to only radiology, no wonder you are out of work.
That is the $1500 one. sm
I am talking about the Holiday bonus they are advertising on the Careers page.
Avg around $1500/mo.

1500 lines a day!!!!
I do respect your opinion, but my opinion, as well as many others who worked for Spheris is, getting 1500 lines in an 8 hour day was impossible. You see, we weren't given nice pie accounts, where you could build templates and consistently use them. We were given the crap accounts, poor dictators, the good accounts go to India. I am sorry but 1500 lines in 8 hours was not possible for the majority of us. If it were possible, I can guarantee you it would have been done. Obviously we all want to make a decent living. I do agree that we have a larger problem on a larger scale, and yes shopping where they make things in China, etc., is being a culprit. I can say that people who have lost their jobs to China, or anywhere else in the world, need to step up to the plate as well. I as an MT can only try to protect my profession and everyone else needs to do their part. Afterall, everyone is forced to use the healthcare provided to them in their area even though they outsource, just as I am forced to shop at a store that outsources labor, for lack of a better resource to shop at. But if everyone would do their part in each if their fields, maybe things would be better. As far as paying editors and not being able to afford to pay better wages, I think that companies should pay a lower wage until one gets off editing. Once they get off editing, they should be paid more. If someone never gets off editing, that is another situation that needs to be addressed. I understand that a company cannot pay two people to do ones work and afford to pay a higher wage. But these companies such as Spheris that hire everyone at a low wage and then pay others the same that come in that are on editing and are not meeting production, this is what is not fair. It is not right to keep all employees at the same pay. Maybe MT -A has been their for 5 years, she/he is good, has a 99-100% accuracy rate consistently, then there is MT-B who has been there for 2 years, 97-98% accuracy somewhat consistent, needs editing more often, but she gets paid the same as MT-A because they both happen to clinic notes. How is that right??? This is what goes on in these national companies. Each employee should be assessed on their individual performance. But this is not how it is done. That is not right and is degrading to the MTs who do very well..These are the problems. Companies like Spheris get away with this!! All they care about is cheap labor!! When an MT gets to be better, they let them quit without a fight as they would never pay the higher wage they are worth and never will. This is a confirmed fact!!
$1500 week. nm

Anywhere from 1500 to 1700
Lines are easy to get at TT and I get more than that if I am more focused with no distractions. 1500 to 1700 with interruptions etc.
1500 no problem
Well now! That is a whole new bunch of apples. Is it the work, the platform, or the dictators? Their recruiter said it would not be hard to get 1500. These days with the way companies use less than good platforms and the strange way they count lines, it is rare to see 1500 easily. Long ago, I could boast over 2000 easily. The last few years since the India factor, services are just tightening up. Wow would it be a relief for me to enjoy my job again. Yes I am waiting for my ID too. Well, I am going to take a crack at it, may as well overlap the jobs and see how it goes. Can't hurt the old pocketbook. Thanks for your optimistic post. If all goes well I will be working with you soon.
$165 or 1500 lines
nm
Low work?? Hmm - check backlog page - lots of OT offered right now. nm
Are you on the ChartMatrix side mebbe?
What are they asking for, 1500/1800 lines a day, or more? nm
s
some companies require 1500 lpd -

Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
He/she gets 1500 lines a day, in spite of posting
Uh, yep.
On the new plan, if I type at 1500 lines a day at
nm
if you type 1500 lines plus per shift
with what seems to be the most popular company to work for. I'm job looking. I do believe I may have to apply! What's the difference between Meditech magic and Meditech XL?
I did not achieve it within a week but they worked with me and I am at 1500 or more now. sm
I think that statement is to enforce that they expect full-time volume.
I get no benefits where I work and I do 1500-1700 rad reports a pay period. sm
This is the norm, not the exception. If a rad Transcriptionist cannot do 20-25 reports an hour, they need to look at a different field.
Not by the line but 1400-1500 radiology reports. 2-1/2 years. nm
nm
I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm

Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

Does anybody know anything about this company? I've seen several ads and saw a post elsewhere where the MTSO had several errors in her post. I am curious as to the quality of work and whether or not they pay on time. The MTSO, besides her errors, sounded like a very nice person and I would like part-time with someone less than a tyrant. Thanks in advance. 
Allstate
Thank you.
allstate
I have tried that. Why am I still not getting anything?? I tried allstate,
allstate Transcription, allstatetranscription. Give me a clue!
allstate
as soon as I posted my response about not finding anything a whole bunch came up after my last post without me having to put it in the search engine. Why does that happen??
