iMEDX, Inc.
Anyone know anything about this company? It is based out of Ohio. TIA
iMedX
Does anyone have any information on or better yet perhaps work for iMEDx? I have searched here for recent info, but there is none. I would love to hear from someone that actually works for this company since they have offered me an MT position. Would appreciate any feedback anyone has. Thanks! 
iMedX
Could anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for as I was offered a job yesterday and would like to know how they are as far as workload and if paychecks are on time.
iMedX
Any info on this company?

Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about imedx? TIA.
IMEDX
Here is what I know. I have been one of their editors for a few months. They are very unresponsive to me as an editor. Even though they have told me repeatedly that they are very happy with my work, they won't respond to me when there is an issue with my not receiving files and/or communication from my supervisor. I have had problems with my supervisor (who at first seemed nice) contacting me and my receiving her e-mails as much as three days after she sends them. This, obviously, is a major problem. I have sent e-mails and made numerous phone calls and sent IMs about this issue, with no one contacting me for over a week at a time, all the while receiving no work -- I mean the work suddenly dried up. The pay for editing Indian transcriptionists' work (plus giving paragraphs of feedback daily which is not figured into the line count) is .02 per line. I was sent plentiful work at first and also promised that there were some BIG accounts coming, which did not happen. They began back-peddling on that promise very soon after I was hired. And then the problems with communicating with my supervisor just compounded things. For the second time in a month, I have not heard from them in over a week. I have received almost no work for an entire pay period. It is for the best, I know, since I would not have left them in a total lurch the way they have done me, and I know from all of these problems to just move on. I wouldn't have done it otherwise, but since they have shown me complete disregard, I have sought other employment. These people care nothing for me, even though I have done a very good job for them for VERY low pay. They do not mind one bit leaving me wondering what is going on and with no work while I have bills to pay. What is it with Kentucky-based transcription companies that are affiliated with Indian workers? Are they all shady, greedy, and rude? I know you will make your own decision about working for them. I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will give you more facts on which to base your decision. I should have known better when I found out that the work I would be editing would be from Indian transcriptionists. I was just trying to give it a chance and not let any prejudices get in the way of my working for a living. I also felt I really needed the job. I learned a lesson, though! I won't work for another company that outsources to India.
iMedx
Medware was just acquired by this company and I am having a hard time finding any info other than they outsource A LOT to India, after all the CEO is from India. Of course we were told that they just bought the name and things will remain the same but in past experience with other fields this usually is not the case.
Does anyone currently work for iMedx? Or are there any that worked for the companies that were acquired by them? Just looking for any info that anyone can provide. I'm trying to decide whether to hang on and see what happens or start looking for a new company.
BTW I absolutely loved working for Medware..great family owned company, always work, paid on time, great employee resources, benefits and pay (even with VR) so I'm so upset that this has happened.
Sorry, should have posted ImedX-sm
This is in relation to the message regarding Turboscribe. Anybody have any information on the company ImedX? I know they are Indian based, really wanting information from someone who may be or have been employed as a Transcriptionist or Editor for the company. THANKS!!
IMedx allows satellite.

iMedX & TIdewater...
I used to work for Tidewater Medical Transcription that was bought out by iMedX, but have no idea what happened to the person who was a higher-up either. I, too, would really like to know as well as she was very inconsistent with most all she said, had very poor communication skills, and never wanted to take the fall for anything when she was clearly at fault. I just found out about her departure from the company yesterday, 02/19/2008, upon calling about possible employment. I was told she was let go, but of course wasn't given any specifics and certainly didn't ask for any. It is quite obvious to me iMedX is not any better as far as communication as my inquiry has gone completely unanswered. Besides, if someone is willing to say a former employee was let go, I wouldn't want to work for them anyway. How professional is that of a current employee to say that about a former employee, especially when they don't even know who they are talking with? Seems to me they're all nothing but a bunch of back stabbers and need to learn communication skills as well as a little business ethics to boot.
IMedx (formerly Tidewater)
Does anyone know anything about this company and/or if they are hiring?
You will be QA for India MTs. Don't go with Imedx! nm

Have you worked for Imedx
I was offered a proofer position for 2 cents per line. Is this good. Is the company good. Any info appreciated.
iMedX info ?? TIA
i could have sworn i saw a post about iMedX on here.
I just want to know who they used to be. Did I see it elsewhere???
Medware bought by iMedX
Has anyone else worked for iMedX after they bought their employer's company? Software is called TurboFlow. Any good? Overall how do you like working for them, good and bad.
Person who is no longer with Tidewater/Imedx
What happened to this person who was a higher-up with Tidewater before it was purchased by Imedx? She is all of a sudden gone. Anyone know the story?
Anyone have any current information about iMEDx? Not much in archeives
Thanks so much!
SoftScript, Imedx, Superior Global Solutions
Okay I was offered a job with SoftScript, Superior Global Solutions & Imedx. With SoftScript & Superior Global Solutions I was offered an MT position with 8 cents per line & with Imedx it is a QA position and I am unsure of the pay. I have my interview tomorrow, but I did past the testing process. What job would you recommend? I am 8 months pregnant and I think the QA position would be best, but again I need some info on the companies. TY so much!
ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
Here, here. Exactly my experience also, even down to the 10 year work experience. nm

Experience versus not as much experience
--same job should equal same pay?...Come back and talk to me in 20 years...
For the most part, old school MTs have a ton more to offer than a newbie, by virtue of the amount that they know. Most old school MTs can do just about any kind of report, because they learned the old way, they used books--Dorland's was a bible--not software and spellcheck, they worked in house, in the environment, they understand things that a new person who has only worked online with their word books, shorthand, macros and software just cant understand.. Why things are done in a certain way... Why it is so important that certain documents are treated a certain way. Why some reports are stat versus others. What you might flag for the hospital and why... When you think you know everything, esp as a newbie, you are doomed my friend.
Also, cont education is something that most old school MTs understand is a benefit for them and a gift to themselves...part of their commitment to themselves and their own education, not a commitment to being a certified MT, it is a personal thing, a standard.
If you don't understand that, I don't know what else to tell you.
Sure newbies can transcribe, it isn't rocket science, but they know what they know, if you know what I mean..(and that's about all they know) if they don't care to continue their education once they are out of MT school.
There's a little more to it than what you have stated here. If you consider yourself an MT machine.. you will burn out sooner than you think.
P.S. Not saying they do that to everyone - this was just MY experience
..
Your experience with them?
All the things you like/dislike.
My experience was not a bad one
It would freeze up and hard to get around in it. The accounts I had were mostly awful ESLs and mumblers...very difficult to get line counts. Mostly nice people, but doesn't mean squat if the work is bad. Good luck.
my experience with them - sm
I have 17 years experience, require very little training on new equipment, platforms, accounts, etc. Apparently, I was not what they were looking for. I had heard many similar stories from others.
Experience
That's true. Generalities are misleading. I have known MTs with a lot of experience who never had any QA or other teaching and they never got any better. As long as they typed fast, quality didn't matter to their employers.
My experience
I have worked for TransHealth and believe me run for the hills! (LOL). When I was employed there, they had a high turnover regarding their management and apparently still too from what I hear. No flexibility whatsoever, they do not seem to APPRECIATE their employees as they can be nice to you on one occasion and the next minute treat you like crap. They also don't offer nothing in way of competetive wages as they have no incentives to work extra hours or work weekends and oh when there is abundant work you hear them plead with everyone to get on but where are they when there is no work, exactly!!!!! My recommendation is to shop around and see what each company has to offer.
Same experience here, 7 yrs with MQ
c
I had a bad experience with them also. I was also
hired for Diskriter through them. All sounded great, but something else sounded better so I took it instead. I got a very rude email and was ignored after that email. Very bad business ethics!!
Has anyone else had a bad experience with
Amphion? I am sure I am not the only one who has found out they are just like everyone else
Experience
Can anyone tell me what companies are more selective in their hiring process, requiring more experience than 1-2 years, and willing to pay for it. I am starting to feel this must be an unrealistic expectation.
What's the experience been like sm.
I have very high expectations as I have a lot of experience. I need to know if they are nice people there. I was told I would be working on a regular hospital, not a teaching hospital but when I got the specs for the hospital it mentions residents. That is a teaching hospital. The things these companies try to pull over on you. Like I wouldn't know it was a teaching hospital right away anyway. The pay seems poor:( I don't know if they deserve a try or not. The owner seems uncaring about my situation. I don't know, I just want a nice decent place to work that pays well.
Any experience with DSG, Inc.?
nm
How much experience do they want? NM
XX
My experience..........sm
I think they are great to work for. Management is great, very helpful. Always work available. They do offer benefits, I can't tell you about them because I don't need them. There are also incentives for higher producers. Go for it!
Not in my experience
They may supply software or foot pedals, depending on the company, but I have not heard of being supplied a computer as an IC.
Any experience out there with...sm
Shaw's Keystroke Services, Rochester, New York?
So-so experience
The line Expander used by Spheris was the least of my worries. I found it extremely easy to merge my own list into theirs. Ask your TL for instructions.
Like most everyone else I had trouble getting my line count. I never got dinged for it, but then I never once qualified for a bonus the whole time I was there - 1 year. I, too, wasted tons of time looking over account specifics. Just when you get used to one account, they throw in a new one, then you have to second and triple guess everything you do all over again. I finally quit when they threw in another work type with horrible dictators and my line count dropped by half for 2 weeks. I couldn't afford to work for them anymore.
And don't get me started about the freakin' time clock. I hated that thing.
As far as the company is concerned I liked them just fine. Management was fair and I always got along with my TL. I did have one that was witch from hell, but I don't think this is a reflection on the company. It was a personal difference between the two of us that we couldn't work out.
I wish you luck. I wasn't all that successful making many in MT. My income continued to go down each year so I left.
Any experience with...sm
InHealth Transcription Services
I had a very bad experience with them too
They were dishonest about things. Not the way to run a company at all!
My experience.....sm
I worked there for a short time recently. The people who worked there were nice, pay was okay, but I had sound issues with the account I was on. Nothing I did fixed it, so I would have to guess the problem was at their end. As a result of this, my line production went down instead of up, which is why I left. If it weren't for that, I'd still be there.
Good luck to you! 
I had the same experience (sm)
They were all gung-ho, and then I never heard from them after their saying they'd contact me. You will have to call them and keep on them. They're not snubbing you. It's lack of organization. You may not get a call if you don't follow up.
I was hired and had a great experience with them. Best QA people. They will leave you alone unless there are problems. They don't bug you for little crap like the other companies do. The setting your own schedule and working when you can is the best.
Good luck!
Need to know more about experience. sm
Can you do acute care? How many years of experience? Do you need benefits?
The only one I know of that lets you work when you want is OTI (aka Oracle). It's wonderful that way. No benefits, though, and must have acute care experience.
Almost 5 yrs experience
This is bad but I'm a little confused with what acute care consists of? I have Radiology experienc in a hopsital setting but I've also typed Oncology, Ophthalmology, Nutrition, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Internal Med, Family Practice and Psychiatry/Psychology reports. I went to school so I have typed ALL kinds of reports, they were just a long time ago.
I'm a fast learner and with a template or an example of an old exam I can figure out what needs to be done. I can send you my resume if you'd like. Just e-mail me.

This has never been my experience with MDI.
I've seen several posts like this from MDI MTs over the years about these supposedly fantastic 300+ line counts per hour, and I never believe any of them. I've been at MDI almost 10 years now working on hospital accounts, and I know better. The line counts most definitely went down, down, down when Bayscribe came along...No doubt about it.
my experience - sm
I left Diskriter because it was a nightmare trying to make a paycheck. I've been a Transcriptionist for 12 years so I'm not new to the field. I would have days where I couldn't get up from my computer and days where I was a prisoner in my house waiting for work. Email response was slow. Paychecks were an issue a couple of times. I left and went to Alltype and have been happy ever since.
my experience..
i started with acute care, which to me is harder because of the different work types like h/p, consults, ops, er, etc; it't a little bit of everything and can be overwhelming. by the time you get to clinic notes or multi-special clinic notes, they seem easier and familiar; just a little bit more detailed in each specialty. if you're a go-getter, i would say go for the acute care. but nothing wrong in learning clinics first also; it will get you ready for acute care.
i dont know about everyone else, but i have had more ESL (and junk english-speaking doctors) in acute care, especially if it is a teaching hospital. good luck.
My experience
Have worked for several different companies on Ex-Text. Be careful. If you go to ICHART site to get your line count, it will sometimes be lighter than you expect as it does not post there immediately. If you do a control I to get your line count while in Ex-Text you will see what you get after each report. This figure was always higher than what was on the ICHART site. Some facilities have disabled this feature while working on Ex-Text because people were questioning this discrepancy. Demand to know up front in advance what, if anything, is being deducted and for what reason, and ask where you will get your line count from. You should be able to see immediately what you are getting. In my past experience, when my lines were counted with Control I, they were slightly better than using the MS Word Counter. When I used the ICHART site count, they were lighter. Also, do not work for anyone with Ex-Text who deducts money from your paycheck saying you give back x number of lines per report because they don't get paid for that. That is nonsense. There is 1 company in FL that did this to me in the past, and I WALKED fast. Good luck to you.
Yes! Seems the more experience you have
the more they egg you on, but then don't get back to you. I think they are afraid they may have to pay too much for a good MT, so would rather hire substandard.
Here's my experience. SM
You can only choose employee status if you are in California. Their accounts are the absolute worst of the worst, and I mean BAD, BAD, BAD. They don't do direct deposit unless you are an employee and if you want your check sent overnight, they charge you $30.00. The pay is decent but no bennies. I don't know where the other poster got all the information but I have two friends who worked for them and I still do and they don't get any of that stuff. Terrible company, extremely RUDE QA. Would never recommend this company to anyone.
