Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!


How do I search for info that is not archived? Do I do

Info on Medware

Medware - Any info?
Thanks in advance.
Medware info...??

I would appreciate any information anyone is willing to offer--good, bad or otherwise--regarding Medware.  Please email.  Thank you! 


From the archived posts not much good
to say about them.  Hard to get lines, it takes a rocket scientist to figure out your line rate, there is lots of work because they have a high turnover, management issues, they are currently training women in other countries to do MT work, don't know if they are currently offshoring.  Evidently this is a sore subject and previous posts with this information has been deleted. 
Medware info needed
Any current Medware employees out there who would state how it is to work for Medware.  Would like to know what their pay scale is, if you have enough work, how the staff is to work for, and if they allow a flexible schedule.  TIA
Medware or TransHealth info

Any info on these companies, specifically the cost of benefits for a family in Michigan and what your average line counts are?  Thanks!


Need up-to-date info for Medware?

I am thinking about working for them, but need current info as far as flexibility, etc.


TIA


Any info on SoftScript or Medware?
Does anyone know anything about either one of them?
Current info on Medware
Does anyone have any current information on working for Medware Florida. How are they to work for.  Is it pretty easy to make lines and is the pay average or low.  Also what about benefits. 
agree, I think extext is the only one with archived reports

Looking for info on Medware, NewEngland, AllType. sm
I'm considering these three and wondering if anyone has any recent info to share, good or bad?   I've done a search here, and other places.  Any info is appreciated. Thanks. 
Regardless of whether they are live or archived, 10 test reports is ridiculous.
From my experience, the average number of test reports is usually around 4. Like another poster said, if an MTSO is this crooked with potential employees, God knows how they treat their hired MTs. I'd take that as a sign and bolt.
10 reports is ridiculous, live or archived. I'd bolt. nm

ChartMatrix (TransHealth) has archived/quick access to prior reports. nm

Been on it since May 2004
Still struggling. I have never gained back to what I was typing before.

Others have though, so it can be done.

Good luck.
STEDMAN'S 2004 PLUS -HELP

Hello, I need some help loading this program onto windows xp, MS word 2000. The dictionary demo loads and works, but I can't find the spellchecker??? Any suggestions, thanks.


I worked for them 2004 and here is sm
I was hired to MT. I had little training on the platform they used. I worked as an MT for about a week and they asked me to be a QA at $14 an hour, to also be on-call at least 1 weekend a month for stats (that is 24/7) and to take overnight calls like 1 night a week. I did that.

I had to make an out of state move. I was told to take all the time you need. I thought it would take about 5 days to get back to work and I told the MT manager that. After 2 days, she starts calling all hours of the night and day, on my cellphone, and harasses me about when I will be back. I said 5 days and I need 5 days, which was rushing it anyway.

Guess what? She told my MTs (I also lead a team) that she had fired me, but neglected to tell me. She called each and every one of them asking if I had been hateful. I am never hateful!!!! Especially with my MTs! They deserved my respect and they got it. In the end, they still owe me nearly $600 and have refused to pay me.

Now, couple that with the fact that they had a HUGE teaching hospital in Alabama. About 2 or 3 weeks after she fired me, they lost that account. Furthermore, they would hire ANYONE who had every touched a keyboard. I had to QA that mess and it was an ENORMOUS mess. A cute angina. A cute appendix. A femaloral artery. A cesar's ansection. A right hammered toe. And on and on and on. I was not allowed to complain about the lack of capable MTs, nor ask for anyone to be fired or even to give individual feedback.

I lucked out really. I landed on my feet 3 months later and it has been MUCH better since then. I heard from a gal at that big MT head hunter employment agency (you know who) that she had once had her own company and my SG MT manager was the ONLY MT she had ever had to fire for lack of knowledge and quality, and subsequent insubordination when confronted with errors she refused to correct in subsequent work.

WHAT A MESS. What you all say fits right in with what I know of them.
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway.  Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Sorry..that's supposed to be "from 2004"

Spheris took over Healthscribe in 2004.

That is what they paid me in 2004 1st shift BUT
Times have changed. I'd do it. I get $16 anytime I QA for a small regional company. I take it. I make double that MTing, which is 90% of my job.
I lost an ER MT job to EMR in late 2004.
Loved that account!
JLG - searched archives and only found 2004. I
could swear I have seen recent posts on JLG, but am afraid they must have been deleted. Any current info at all?  Anything would be appreciated. Don't want to go from that BIG OLD FRYING PAN into the fire, if you know what I mean!
When I searched, the only replies were dated 2004

Net search shows they had a job ad here in Dec. 2004. Their website is www.pdajc.com. Good

Wall Street Journal article, October 2004
A friend sent this to me. UCSF heard from an overseas MT who had not been paid that if she did not receive the $$ owed her she would publish the reports on the internet. There was a lot of followup to this which I will not go into here, but why wouldn't this sort of thing still be possible.

Later that year there was a report of a group of MTs in Bangladesh who tried to force a change in their local management by threatening to make transcribed documents public.

After that California was supposedly looking at a bill to disallow sending confidential medical reports overseas as they are not bound by HIPPA. Never heard what came of that.

I still tell these stories to anyone considering sending work abroad. I just wish some of them overseas would be stupid enough to actually pull a few stunts like that and then see how much work we lose.
People seem to forget it was Pres. Bush pushed EMR in 2004. sm
Try googling 2 words: EMR Bush.

Found this article. Hope links are allowed.

She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm

Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 


Thanks!


Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.

Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages.  Have things changed for the better here?  Is there steady, reliable work?  Able to make any decent money?  Thanks!

Does anyone have any comments on working for Medware?  Thanks!
Medware
Thanks for your input!! I'm job shopping and want to make a better decision this time.

Does anyone know what Medware is paying these days? They seem to have a lot of ads for help in transcription and for the Dictaphone platform.
medware pay

I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me.  They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp).  I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.


Medware for me
Love my account, direct deposit every 2 weeks and the insurance is affordable.  My supervisor is really cool and understanding, we get along great.  1 year and counting, hope for many more.  Good luck to you.

Hi! I just started with them last week and so far it has been really great. They are all really nice and I have had wonderful training. You get paid by the hour for the first 4 weeks so you have time to learn the system (which the system itself is excellent and extremely easy)Your rate is determined by experience so I don't know other than my own. I guess you have to ask them about the schedule, but mine is just what I need. The staff is very, very nice. I think you would really like it. If you will notice, there is tons of negative stuff about all the MT companies on this board, but Medware has a lot less negative than some of the others (I looked through it before I started.) I think you should try it.
I am with Medware
Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.
Osi does and I think Medware nm
