I don't see anything more recent than 6/05 in the archives. I think this one is in Floriday, but don't know for sure. Web site sounds great.

Ahh, "I thought" I had seen that name fairly recent.
The MTStars should not allow further job ad posting without a currrent location addres. We do sent out pretty personal ID info, (signed contract info), name, address, phone, SS#, BD, voided check for direct deposit, Driver Lic etc. That is scary. Sorry they did this to you.

There is quite a bit of fairly recent discussion (sm)
try going to the search box farther up on the page, just make sure the MTStars radio button is marked (not Google, type JLG in the box. (for some reason the other search thing never works for me either)
I'm fairly new and trying to get any information
is like pulling teeth. If that is the only problem it could be worse, but it is very frustrating.
New or recent info on Med-Scribe ??
Sign on bonus and a 12 hour window to get work done in. Slightly suspicious here, what is the catch?
Anyone has recent experience with Med-Scribe out of FL that could share, good, bad, or indifferent??
Thanks. I want to make an informed decision if I proceed with them. As everyone, you get tired of wasting your time on companies that are not worth it so I'm doing a little research on this one. Can anyone help??
Any current information on Med-Scribe (New Jersey)
Just wondering if anyone currently works there or knows anything about them. Thanks
Anyone have any recent OSI information?
Are benefits as good as they sound? How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology? How are they to work for? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Any recent information on
TIA
Any recent information on Transtech??
Just offered a postition with them on new account going live in a couple of weeks. I was just wondering how they were to work for, can you make your lines, etc. Thanks. 
Any recent information on Transcript USA? -sm
I noticed in past posts they said they hound you when you're not working. But they're advertising a flexible schedule right now. Is that something new?
Any problems with getting paid? Is the pay decent?
Do they have decent accounts or are they for the most part extremely difficult?
Is their system efficient? I'm so tired of wasting so much time keeping logs of everything and having to type patients' names and data that I don't get paid for.
Is the sound quality good?
Is it really all American?
Any recent information on Oracle? Thanks. nm

eMTS ? Any recent information? sm
Does anyone have any recent information about eMTS? I see that they say they were started on the ideas of the old MRC (which used to be quite good, I understand). There were only 21 archive entries and really only 1 person responding. I would love to hear the good, bad, or ugly about this company? Pay, work load, ESLs? QA? Thank you so much for any information anyone can provide!!!! 
Acusis. Could use recent information.
Here are 9 questions about Acusis. Any or all answers would be so helpful.
- What platform do they use? User Friendly?
- Benefits. Which health insurance carrier? PPO? HMO?
- What is the deductible amount (employee coverage, no family).
- Accounts: High ESL? Enough work? Back up accounts?
- QA: Too much? Too little? Constructive or too critical?
- Email communication timely?
- Is hiring process drawn out?
- Do they provided equipment. Does it arrive in timely fashion? Any out-of-pocket expenses?
- Pay on time? Direct deposit? Any line rate information? Minimum line requirement?
Med-Scribe. Any current or new information on them. Very curious about the costs of their family med
ins. Is it better than the $650 I currently pay? I hope someone has some answers. What are the accounts like?? easy, hard, easy to make line count?? Paid training? Give me the scoop.
Anybody have any recent information on Teletype of California?
I see a lot of old stuff back to 2005 not very good, anything current about them?
PLENTY of recent information can be found! nm

Any NEW information about Interpro? All I find in the archives arent very recent

you must be fairly new
because if you had been there since Aug you would have mentioned how they lied about giving us a quality incentive and then failed to give it. They hire new people to train them way before they bring on accounts and you end up not having work and then getting bombarded because they put the new people on your accounts to train. There is definitely better out there. I know, I just found better believe me. Spend some time there and you will see what I mean. Yes they do leave you alone but they also use you with no remorse. The reason why they haven't hassled you about not making your line count is because they know they are taking your work away from you and using it to train new people and they lost most of their QA people and supervisors a few months ago. There isn't anyone out there to keep track of your lines, but that too will change and you will get a very nasty warning if you have a problem in that area. If you read the Nov. newsletter there was a warning about how MTs who don't make their lines only force hospitals to give their jobs to the overseas MTs and to bear that in mind if you don't work your hours or make your lines... Its not hard to put 2 and 2 together. Its a sad place and it hasn't changed in almost 5 years.
Fairly new also and
last week was the first time I hit 35 hours. I am experiencing everything that you are. I think they are overstaffed.
that's probably not what it is then, cause I'm fairly new and
only part-time. And if nobody else got anything, then it's probably something else. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Sorry to get everybody excited for nothing. I hope it's not a mistake on my bank's part. I'll do some detective work and find out who's trying to give me money.
I'm fairly new to MDI - but I was just
wondering - what's the QA like after you get through probation?
I'm still in the training/probation period. Do they tell you at the end if they're keeping you or not? If they keep you, how close of contact do they keep with you after that?
Just curious.
Should be fairly soon....
I believe they are quite busy right now because there are a ton of new accounts and we are busy busy!!! They are really good about being thorough however and I would think you will hear from them soon. I love it there, for what it is worth... If anyone else is going to apply and needs a referral, let me know... Jolena
I'm still fairly new, but nothing has ever been
said to me about not making line count. I can't see how they can fire you when you don't have the work to make your lines. If you aren't making line count and there is enough work then yes you may be terminated, though they will work with you to try to improve before that happens.
They also seem fairly flexible. sm
I was quite impressed with what they had to say and they are the best offer I've had since I started looking around 3 months ago.
Thanks again.
I will, I am fairly new, 4 weeks. nm

It is fairly easy to use
I have been using MP Count for a while now and I believe that MP Tools will be just as easy to use. Also, if you have any issues or questions, Vann Joe is always readily available to help you. (He is the person who developed the software and I believe that Emmaus is his company). Anyway, do not be afraid of throwing your $ away, because I know from experience that Vann Joe will be able to help if you have any questions regarding the new product.
I have to agree. Considering TT is a fairly
new company (est. 2001), the benefit package they offer current employees is quite good when compared to other longer established companies. I'm sure that as the company continues to grow and prosper, benefits will increase for the MTs (as has been the case in the past). I always feel greatly appreciated for my efforts.
If you just did this fairly recently..
Please be patient. Management is currently moving into a new office and it could be disrupting the phones/e-mails. I would give it a few more days. I work for them typing radiology and absolutely love it!
I'm fairly new to KS, but I know they are adding
2 new accounts by February, so there should be lots of work. The account I am on is fairly new and still working out all the kinks, but right now there is a lot of work available on it too, so you might want to talk to your lead or Lee and ask for more work.
Alltype, is this a fairly good
company?
Test was really fairly easy. (sm)
I expected there to be some really difficult accents, but they weren't.
Good luck.
That seems pretty low to me, esp. for your exp and it's IC., even though Psych is fairly simple.
I guess it would work for some; everyone has different needs. I sure wouldn't take it.
But if you decide to, I wish you happiness in your new job.
Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is
low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.
I would not work there. I did and found out they were not paying me fairly. sm
They are not a good company to work for.
Fairly tales don't have to make sense. nm

Webmedx pays fairly well, not flexible, though.
They used to hire with a 12-hour window, but I have heard they don't do that anymore, just a straight 8 schedule. Good luck.
Is it fairly commonplace to have an acute care account that is 95%
or greater ESL dictators? This is the first place I've worked out of school and I would estimate the ratio of ESL to English dictators to be 95% to 5%. I understand you cannot get away from ESLs, especially in acute care, but is this ratio commonplace?
Since I'm new, I have nothing to compare it to. Thanks for your input.
Excellent benefits at TT. I have PPO coverage with a fairly low deductible
and pay $42 per pay period. The coverage is with First Health and they do offer coverage in all states. Good prescription drug coverage also ($10 copay). Hope this helps.
I have worked there before. The owner did seem fairly nice and pleasant. However, SM
unless things have changed, the company is just very, very disorganized. Very heavy offshoring which I didn't like once I found out. I thought it WA fairly low pay. All in all, not the worst place to work but perhaps you could do better. I was paid on time, however, and once there was about a $20-something error in my check for some reason (I don't remember why), and they cut me an additional check and immediately sent it to me which I thought was very nice.
Question. Have you ever started a job and they find you can do ESLs fairly well and you get all the
hard work and no easy work after awhile. Is this the way it goes and where does the easy work go. To the newbies I guess.
Is OSI's the cost family coverage fairly reasonable or sky-high? nm

WEBMEDX - I found fairly favorable things about them in the archives..does anyone
know if they still pay by minutes of transcription rather than per line? I saw that in one past post. Would love to hear from anyone either via e-mail or post here if you work for them and are still happy? Thanks.
I thought the written was fairly easy. The typing test (sm)
was difficult for me because the specialties I was tested on were different than what I'd been working on, plus new docs that I wasn't dialed-in to, yet. Also, since the test is on a temporary platform (Express Scribe) I couldn't slow it down, and one doc was pretty fast. STILL, because of that fact I was allowed to take my time, so I looked up every term I wasn't 100% familiar with, and proofread several times. The hospital I was testing on was a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so that meant lots of new drugs & procedures; thank goodness for the Internet! Although we are paid on production, QUALITY is the most important thing. I do a lot more proofreading than I did at my previous job, and as a result I often work longer hours to make my line count, but I can break up my day any way I need to, so I'm not chained to my desk. As a result I feel a lot more relaxed than I used to, and my blood pressure has gone down, as well.
Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm
MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?
Anyone with information on this company?
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
E-Scribe
Does anyone know how much E-scribe pays per line? I am thinking of applying with them. What is a good rate to type for? I was told 8 cpl (65 characters w/spaces) was a good rate. Does anyone pay less or more than that? Is 7 cpl too little?
Able Scribe
I applied for a job a few months ago and it turned out they didn't even have the account, but then MT companies aren't exactly known for their integrity.
Med-Scribe in FL? SM
I was wondering if anyone could give me recent information about this company. The only information I could find in archives was 2 or more years old. Anyone currently working there, I would really appreciate some input regarding pay, dictators, benefits, etc. TIA
RE: Scribe Right
Great company! But only IC status-no benefits, which works great for me as DH as the benefits. Pay always on time. Very happy with them.
Med-Scribe - FL
I have read past posts that have me a bit scared about getting paid if I accept a position with them, but these posts are over a year old. Have things improved in that respect? Any new news on this? Please reply. Thanks!
