Agree, unless OP tells them, they will never know.

That website tells me a lot - NOT

Do you always believe what your employer tells you?
I worked for a local company and transcribed university hospital and VA reports. The company was pretty busy - 100 MTs across the country and the owner whined all the time about how he couldn't make ends meet and couldn't pay MTs more - blah, blah, blah - but I certainly never got any tissues out during these meetings. We found out from the bookkeeper later that the company charged and got18 cents per line and that was 6 years ago. Then he increased his charge to a large account the next contract bid and lost it and and didn't have the guts to lay off by senority and just let everyone keep working with promises they were seeking new accounts that didn't happen very quickly at all while we were all out of work and scrapping to find what we could. It is called GREED.
In my opinion, take what MQ tells you with

it tells you your tier rate
on the sheet that comes with thepacket. If you are a Tier 2 like me when I wanna be a Tier 3 I have to test. That's for everyone. I don't know about new hires as SE's are changing to new hire with 8 or 16 or 24 hour work week. Maybe an SE can answer this who has the packet, I am full time.
that tells me some people don't know how to use their brain.

Control I tells me I have no right to access (sm)
Isn't it that way for all? I'm new at this.
This just tells me that this service owner does not know how
to handle her money. This 30-day thing or 45-day thing is because they do not have the money in the bank to pay. Every GOOD service owner should have at least two entire pay periods in the bank for payroll. They should not wait until they are paid by their customers. Bad bad business. I would never work for a company that withheld pay ever again. Yes, I have BTDT! I think we all have learned the hard way.
if noone tells her? Will she keep repeating her sorry work

Oh yeah...I can beat that one...How about the IT guy who tells who...
that the company has massively overhired on the account that you were just hired for. Hmm...could that be the reason why I have no money to buy my kids any Christmas gifts this year???!!! 9 months to go and I will never go near this transcription bullcrap ever again!!! This is my last Christmas ever again that I can't buy my kids any Christmas gifts!!!
This is what I am leaning toward. This is what my heart tells me.
I guess it is my brain that is all confused. Your help here is truly appreciated, it echos that small voice we are supposed to listen to in hard times....
Well, that tells us nothing, Care to elaborate w/o yelling? SM
I worked on it for radiology and it was wonderful.
how childish.
your name "just me" tells me how minute you feel,
WHO in the world would call themselves, Just Me. Like I am a nobody; a brainless unimportant to be hear is a Just me.
I read the article, it states exactly what the company always tells us...
that they offshore a small percentage of their work, and that it will never take the place of their domestic MLS. I love working at Transcend.
For someone that doesn't work at Transcend, you sure have gone to a lot of trouble to find the article and continue posting about it. Any other issues?
When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count

I agree, absolutely agree
and I might say, this is keeping updated in ALLLL specialities and subspecialities, drugs, instruments, and on and on. It is not a good profession for sure and sadly it is the MTs who are being very definitely HAD
Agree 100%
STAY away!
Nobody is going to agree anyway. LOL
And nobody has worked for every company in the U.S. to be able to offer an informed opinion.
Agree
I agree also. I do think that each company has its MTs that have not one thing good to say about the company and on the flip side, there are many that love it. I have worked at a few different companies in my time and find through experience on this forum to be true. I absolutely love Transcend. There are a few things that aren't perfect in my book, but the good far outweighs the bad. The thing that I hate, though, is if you have anything good at all to say about your company, you are either management, lying, or a cheerleader. I think that people love to believe the worst.
I also have found out through my travels that things can vary greatly from one employee to another even though they may work at the same company. There may be a rule for you that does not apply to another, example - below one says Spheris would not allow someone to work at MQ also but there is an MT who is doing it with permission. An MT can get on here and argue all day long that this or that doesn't happen at their company but it may very well happen for another MT. It is so humerous to me to see that we believe that being employed at a company, in our remote homes, that we think we know everything about that company and how it operates with the other remote MTs - MTs that more than likely we don't even know.
I agree 100%.
I agree 100%
I don't agree entirely.
When offshore outsourcing first began many clients began jumping on that bandwagon thinking they were going to be able to save money. That resulted in a great number of clinics and hospitals eliminating their in-house transcription departments because of 1) reduction in overhead expense by outsourcing a whole department and 2) realizing an even greater reduction in expenses by using foreign labor at less cost than domestic transcription wages. The trend is beginning to come full circle now and because of quality issues and the higher cost of risk management more clients are demanding that their medical records information stay in the United States. A lot of MTSOs now advertising are stating right in their ads NO OFFSHORE MTs NEED APPLY. Clients are beginning to see that it wasn't as cost effective as they thought it would be because it actually ends up costing more in the long run either in quality or risk management. Some hospitals and clinics are actually bringing work back in house again and only using domestic vendors for overflow work. I think sooner or later unless the quality of VR improves it will have the same result.
i agree
I also had a similar experience last year and did not like it at all. It was a total mistake.
Yes, I agree
Thank you for posting this! I am also very happy with Amphion. It is nice to hear a positive experience for a change. I hope your post will help other MTs searching for work realize that there really are some good companies out there!
I agree--
They will make your life miserable with every nit picking thing they can think of to get you to quit. Again, this was my experience, no one has to agree with me.
Agree
but I thought that she was referring to simply putting it in a diagnosis, not coding.
Agree
LOL......I understood that she was just transcribing the numbers as they're dictated. And, we all know the docs don't always give the "dash" (-) or "slash" (/) word when it needs to be typed in.
I wasn't trying to help code, been a while since I did that, just trying to help make sure her question was answered. (No offense intended.) :)
I agree with QT
QT EASY platform -- a few mushmouths -- mainly PAs very few ESLs -- also FutureNet is a good company -- direct deposit as statutory by they will express mail checks and good cpl rate -- sorry for the typos -- just got done for the night and no fingers left
I agree..
I left after sitting for five hours and getting 2 reports, this was Transcend who bought MDI. Then, there was the sound issues.
The staff was just great though!
I agree with everything you said....
It just seems like Transcend is the company to bash this month, but I am extremely happy
I Agree.....
There are so many "cherry-pickers" on the account(s) I work on, it makes me crazy. Some of us get stuck doing the hardest jobs and the others breeze through.
I agree 100%. (sm)
Someone here had a bad experience and has made it her goal in life to run this company down. Maybe she didn't come up to par....actually you can tell that by her messages. I have only been with OSi about 6 months, but will be staying till I retire.
I agree!
Definately the meanest on this board. Always has something to say, whether it pertains or not...
I agree
the swearing on the boards and making fun of other people, pathetic. I thought we were all grown ups here. I can't believe that some of these grown women sound more immature than my 11 year old.
Agree! LOL (nm)
.
I agree
No I don't work out of the Amherst office -- have heard so much about them on this board.... I work out of the Orange CA office and last week except for 1 day -- it was like pulling teeth to get enough work to keep me busy during the day. Now, I am face today with either sitting babysitting my computer all day just waiting for work or taking the day off either unpaid or burn some PTO. Can't really afford either, but this is just stupid. If I get my butt out of bed and "at my job" by my start time.... I should get paid whether there is anything to do or not.
Agree, besides, what one co does, the others will
zz
I agree. sm
Not a very good place to work. Communication was horrible when I was there.
Agree with above
Yes, they pay for downtime. The only time they do not is if is due to something on your end like electric failure or internet failure. If there is no work or if their computer breaks or system is down, they pay $12/hr downtime. In my experience, there is also the option of making up the time if only a few hours or so (which equates to more than $12/hr for me, so I have always made time up if I could).
I agree with aa
Here are the good points: They do apparently pay for spaces now. I would confirm this if you apply.
They seem to have plenty of work - you definitely won't be sitting around for days without work.
They pay approximately 5 days after the end of the pay period, which is actually pretty fast as payroll goes.
They do seem to have some interesting accounts, although I wouldn't know how you get on them.
If you can ignore the goofy emails that get sent out on a regular basis and try to ignore the inconsistent QA, they pretty much leave you alone. If you need benefits, though, look elsewhere.
Have to agree
I quit two weeks after training.
I agree
I am dealing with the same thing right now. It is frustrating to my family life. They call me at night a lot to work.
I agree..
Get rid of the middle man, the MTSO, if you can!
I just landed a fantastic opportunity with a clinic who has done exactly this and can afford to pay me twice the highest rate of the online companies, and I still work from home with a super flexible schedule. I also didn't need 10 years to land this job. I am closing in on two.
I suggest searching the ads for clinics and hospitals who are looking to hire you directly. That, or land your own account locally. Most of these online companies are really taking us for a ride!
I will never go back to 8 cpl knowing what I know now while the MTSOs are vacationing on the other half of what should be my pay
I agree!
Who would want 2 work 4 someone like that? Is this where MT is heading??? Sheesh.
I have to agree with you.
This is getting old. There are tens of thousands of MTs, many of which have the same thoughts. You need to get a grip on reality. Enough already.
I will agree with you there.

I would have to agree
The Indian typists work extremely hard. They work with rare breaks. I also found the managers to be very kind people. What I don't get is it's okay to work HERE for a foreign company, like Toyota, but how DARE anybody work for a foreign transcription company! What about Sony? Hyundai?
I have to agree...
I'm also disgruntled with this steady diet of acute care. I wouldn't mind a mix of acute care IF there were some easy stuff like chart notes and ER to blend in. I sometimes regret having listed all my experience, since I think the lesser qualified MTs could be making much more money!
I agree
f
Agree
NM
Would agree .. most especially if
If Proscript runs the way DDI did then it surely is a very good place to work. Years of working with DDI were the best years I have had in transcription and had I a clue that Proscript would have been purchased by the present owner I would have considered them very seriously when I made a move. The move was a bit too early and the purchase a bit too late .. for me!
I SO agree.
Many ESL docs are wonderful dictators, and organized. They really put a lot of effort into their reports, and I'll take them any day over the inconsiderate ENL mumblers.
I agree ....
I wish there is just one test we could take and pass the results on to everyone! Every test is just about the same, just shifted around a bit - but I am so tired of testing. I did take one very challenging test, can't remember with who, but my brain was really fried after that one. Felt like I was taking state boards to become an MD.
