In Reply to: I did not say that they don't outsource - They absolutely outsource.
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!

Spheris sends most work to India. SM
They are most certainly NOT a company to work for, if you are a single mom.
Absolutely, sends work to India, Phillipines...sm
She's something alright, sending work offshore instead of paying someone in the US a workable wage. Name of company is Another Medical Must...owned by Renee Lella....look her up on Google and see how that's worked for her in the past, with a major leak of patient records due to dealing with the Indian company and their MTs. She trains her MTs most of the time using her cell phone in the car while doing errands or picking up kids...horrible. Bad, bad experience, never again. She looks at this board occasionally and still posts for job openings once in a while, but always under an alias or different name, sometimes maria...sometimes another name. Shifty.
Transcend sends all the good work to India and leaves all the
garbage for the MTs in the States so they can keep the indian slime working. n donkeys are that do the work. Transcend is not a good place to work
Does anyone know the name of a transcription company in Maryland that sends all of its work to
India. Just curious.
Any company who wants to stay in business sends work out
It is called a blended model. Hospitals are demanding a better price and US companies must offer offshore work that is edited by US MTs to compete. It is just like voice recognition, a company must offer this platform or lose the ability to bid on the work. It is not for every hospital and it is not for every situation. Therefore, if a company does not have the ability to offer a lower price with non-domestic labor plus have a voice rec option, they will find themselves unable to compete in tomorrow's marketplace. Those who cannot compete will lose market share and continue to run out of work. Those who can compete will continue to hire MTs and grow market share.
Another one, Interpro, sends a lot of theirs to India
as well as other locations outside the US
I wonder if you're working for the same company as me - nm

Been working there 2 days and they're already out of work. nm
Same here! Been working all weekend! We're drowning in work!
My 2 accounts are extremely busy as well. They haven't slowed down once.
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.

I know, I know Medquist sends work overseas....but there is always work :)
xxxx
Medware not only sends work offshore, but has offices in Bangalore to train MTs there.nm

I also work for a company in Florida and we're running
low on work, just within the past 10 days. I know it's due to the hurricane though. My main account was in New Orleans and just isn't dictating and won't be for a while, I guess. They didn't dictate each day but when they did send work about 3 times a week, I could work for 2 straight days w/o running out of their work. I type a lot of lines each day and for me and the others on that account, we are now on our secondary and third accounts which takes takes work away from others.
If you're that upset about it, do what I did and work for a company that doesn't outsource
nm
They're sending everything to India now.
x
I think you're absolutely right, that they want India NM
n
Why in the world are American MTs working for India who treat you so disrespectfully?
Nm
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
Right now we're all working PT at MW.nm
but true
You're working weekends, though. nm

Yep!!! We're working on the same account.
I'll email you..
You're working all hours
to make up yours but taking work from those scheduled to work. NOt that I blame you, we all need what we need, BUT WEBMEDX - YOU HAVE OVERHIRED!!!!! I don't like having to fight people for my work. As soon as I find something else, I'm outta here. Over 25 years experience down the tubes!!!
If you're planning on working as
You might want to brush up your computer skills, etc. As the other poster mentioned, as an IC you are basically self-employed and marketing your business to that provider.
What happens if you're working on a 9 cpl level
and you have a backup account on an 8 or 7 cpl account? Do you still get paid at 9 cpl? Or does the pay vary based on what account you happen to be typing that day?
Monday - 9cpl
Tuesday - 7cpl
Wednesday - 8.5 cpl,
etc, etc.
Did they say anything about that to you?
Well, if you're supposed to be working, why
are you here?
Also depends on what office you're working under
Not sure how that's going to change after the buyout, but I've heard widely varying reports depending on region.
Only if you are doing a lot of breaking when your're supposed to be working. sm
I don't think bathroom breaks should take that long to make that big a difference :)
They're working on it? You've waited on them for 6
forget them. Unless, of course, you like being strug along.
company going to service company or India?
That is a hard thing to be cut back after you are used to that position. We have a couple of hospitals near here who have turned over all of their work to a Service Company, and one eliminated their department and turned over to India. I am afraid that the service company may be taking over our work also. Understand the others kept same pay, but lost most benefits. Anyone else have this happen to them?
At my company, QA is already in India. nm
dddd
Maybe we should tell that India-guy on the Company
he's about ready to bail on his current job, and certainly he wouldn't mind working for peanuts, since he surely already does!
;D
Any company that gets in bed with India should be
*
Egads. You're the type who bring working conditions and
pay down for the rest of us because you're soooo willing to be treated badly & thank them for it.
Good company, NOT in India ..
They do outsource, and the company is NOT in India. The pay was always on time, as well.
Company basically run out of India.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nope, more like a matter of time before we're all working for chump change.

You're extremely lucky. I bet there aren't 10 of us out here employed by a hospital, working f

Good luck to you and please report back after you're working with them to give us

cbay is spheris' India company...
claim they have over 4000 employees, but the MTs are in India...
that was reported in the advance health magazine.
No, Acusis is the company that started in India, and
nm
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?

US based company? Focus MTs US=925, India=3800.
Anirudh Baheti (an Indian) started the company and sold it to Nuance for 58 million dollars last year.
Just an FYI, Mr. Baheti also owns a company called Focus Care which is a service that recruitis Indian nurses, trains them to pass the US nursing boards, and then places them in US hospitals to work for a much lower wage than an American nurse earns.
Mr. Baheti also owns/owned a company called Focus Enterprises which deals in industrial tubes and pipes.
Tell me again how this is US based company?
Much good work going to India. Bad work left
xx
Focus doesn't offshore to India, they are an Indian company
that offshores to the U.S. They have an office front in MA, I think.
Now most of the work is done in India.
aa
MQ definitely sends it out.
X
Yes, MQ definitely sends it out and
my prediction is that one of these days they will send it ALL out. I got out while the getting was good!
If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.
To say the work that comes in from India is awful...
... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.
Work is going to India or some other country. nm
All of CBays work goes to India. nm
