Spheris and MQ but you won't get the radiology sm
work that KS does. I think they have the most. I left twice and went back. Glad I did.
Did they not hire you? Do you have the right experience? If so, that's where I would go.
spheris radiology
What platform will you be using? I think that makes the biggest difference.
Spheris & AllType radiology MTs.....sm
Can you tell us what/how you are paid and what platforms you use? Likes/dislikes? Good/bad company? Any other pertinent info is appreciated. TIA
Spheris radiology word expanders
Does anybody know what word Expanders Spheris uses for Meditech radiology?
What line rate does Spheris pay for radiology MTs?
TIA
MedQuist, Spheris or WebMedX for Radiology? sm
Please, anyone who works for or has worked for one (or more) of the these companies transcribing Radiology provide some input. How are the accounts, the pay, schedule flexibility, benefits, etc? You can email me, if you prefer.
Thanks :->
Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm

Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts? What platforms do they use? Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators? Thanks in advance
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

Opinions?
Can I have a little feedback? I have recently tested with most nationals and have been offered jobs. Who has the best insurance? Who cares most about us with 10 years plus experience in acute care? Who cares about quality? I have been offered jobs with every national for which I have tested? Who really is honest about their insurance, and values MTs who have been in this field for a long time? I am not going to believe they are going to put us old MTs out to pasture, my goodness, we are the ones who caused this business to boom. Please provide all opinions, I just want an honest company, paying benefits, computer provided, that cares about quality and experience. Thanks.
Opinions on TRS?

TTS opinions
 Anyone work for TTS doing Escription? My clinic is laying off our entire transcription department due to EMR and TTS is taking over the account. I've been hired by them but wanted to get some feedback on their pay scale. Thanks!
Well, here's my opinions, lol!
Worked for Spheris and MQ. Both were good. I made more money with MQ but things were easier and more in my control with Spheris.
I liked Spheris' incentive program better and I could control which account I logged into. With MQ, I had to take which ever account reports were in my queue.
Haven't worked the other 2 companies, though.
Thanks for the opinions!
Appreciate your time to answer. Dont' know though about the platform, etc. I just bought a new computer last year and don't want any problems with programs being loaded on it, if there are a lot of tech probs. I also don't have any experience with WP5.1. My one account is mainly ESL, but at least the sound is pretty good, even though I can't always figure out what they're saying :) and I know how your line count can plummet when you have to keep listening again adn again! Thanks again for taking the time to answer!!
Opinions please
I would like to know the best software and what companies use them. The only one I have experience with is Dictaphone Ex-Text but I am not happy with my company. Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Opinions please
Leaving OSI?
Need opinions
If you were making $700 (before taxes) every 2 weeks and had been on an account for 4 months, would you be happy with this or would you be applying at Walmart? Seriously, what would you do or what is your honest opinion?
Opinions
If you have never worked for this company and are just bashing it to give YOUR company a better shot then thats what I call invalid. How many of these negative posters have ever worked for KS for real? Im sure not everyone has a positive experience with any company but so far I think KS has had more positive than negative.
opinions, please?
What companies that you have worked for have the most user-friendly platforms? In considering a switch, the platform seems to be most important to me but have only worked for one company for 12 years, so have nothing to compare. If not the company, what platform would everyone recommend? Thank you for any replies.
Opinions on new job
Doesn't sound good for starters. I've found that this is a good indicator of things to come if ya stay. I agree with the first reply...time to move on.
IC pay - need opinions
I was just offered a job transcribing psych work IC at 0.06/line. Would this be good bad, reasonable, unreasonable. Same doctor/doctors every day. Opinions needed
would like opinions
I've had offers from Transcend, Spheris, DGS, and Presynct (previously known as CMT Corp). If anyone out there is willing to give me some info regarding these companies, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Need opinions
I have been offered a salaried position as a quailty assurance analyst. They are offering me 39K to start. Dilemma, I have been with a company for about 5 years, make around 32K but not sure about jumping ship in this uncertain world of transcription. That being said, would you jump from one to the other, more money, but uncertainty, or try to work both at the same time until sure? I am a little apprehensive having been one place for so long and Im not a job hopper. Opinions please.
Nothing very new about DTS. Opinions, please?

Any opinions on
Opti-Scribe out of State College, PA?
Opinions ??
Are the H&Ps and consults that are done for hospitals very different from the H&Ps and consults done by large specialized medical practices (such as large cardiology, ortho, GI groups etc.)? I wanted to do hospital H&Ps, consults, discharges for a company but was told by this company that I did not have the experience (acute care), even though I have had about 20 years doing the large specialty practices, large HMOs and a little hospital work. They said that the hospital reports would be too involved for me. I've seen hospital H&Ps, consults and discharges, and they don't look any more complex than what I had done in the past. Any opinions? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Opinions of MDI? sm
Scheduling? I know that they are Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat, but are there specific shifts? How is their payscale? Do they pretty much leave you alone to work? Is the platform easy? How many accounts?
I have almost 10 years experience working at MQ and I'm looking for a change. I have an interview with MDI next week, but I have a few other offers out there as well (Landmark being one, but I'm unsure of that one due to the payscale).
Opinions
Everyone's mileage may vary. Why would some of you not believe that some MTs cannot make a full-time living with Landmark? This probably depends on just how much work each MT needs to earn for their own particular circumstance to survive, and this would be dependent on location, cost of living, and particular expenses. The same people who express some concerns about Landmark have also agreed that the company has positive attributes (nice people to work with, honest line counts, pay on time, decent system, no garbage about schedules). The truth is still the truth. This company has had issues with losing multiple accounts, then shuffling the MTs and QA staff, which created situations where there was just not enough work to go around. The company has also gone for long spells (not just a day or two) where the work has been so low that the MTs could not possibly make a usual pay check. It's well known that most MTs that work for Landmark work for other companies, but that's not unusual for a lot of MTs with other companies. Many MTs work for multiple companies to make sure that they have enough work to make a living.
The issue here is why question people's valid concerns about a company, but not the people who only are cheerleaders? Why not question why some people keep popping in to rah rah this company every chance they get?
I want to thank everyone for your opinions!!!
I have made my decision though and will be going with Transcend and my gut tells me I definitely made the right choice!!! I hope I can be with them for a long time, as I hate changing jobs, LOL!!!!
P.S. - Opinions welcome
I'm thinking of looking at going back to on site work. I am tired of these companies who hide behind the virtual office. Since there is no face-to-face with coworkers and supervisors, they send carefully worded e-mails and put out carefully worded announcements and we cannot really get a feel for what is going on. The guessing game has gotten old. There are other jobs we are well qualified for at our local hospitals, like Unit Clerk (pay is really good in my area), lab and pathology, other medical records jobs. Very good benefits at local hospitals, too, because of the need to be competitive for hiring nurses. At least working on site you have a supervisor you can see in person. Of course, I realize some of us have kids and it is difficult to work on site. I used to work middle shift at the hospital while my husband worked days. It was less than ideal, but it worked and the paychecks could be counted on!
All opinions are welcome here. SM
Some have positive views of a company or situation, others have negative ones. All are welcome. Debate the topics, issues. Stop with the personal attacks. Do not stalk other posters' posts. Do not stoop to name-calling. Report inappropriate posts - don't join in the inappropriate behavior.

TSSC. Opinions, please? nm
OPINIONS WANTED PLEASE - sm
To all rad MTs...what is the best company to work for doing radiology? I'm looking for a home where I can just do straight radiology typing - NO VR. I know, it may be coming, but I hope to evade it as long as possible. I'm tired of all the lies these companies tell you when trying to get you to work for them. I'm tired of running out of work, babysitting the PC waiting for work. I'm tired of horribly outdated programs that won't let me use my expander. Are there ANY companies out there that have what I'm looking for? Please tell me there's hope somewhere....TIA
Opinions regarding Proscript..sm

Opinions on the vendors? n.m.

Sten-Tel -- any new opinions
I looked in the archieves but did not find anything recent on this company. Any pros or cons would be great. Thank you in advance.
Is TTS really that bad - New opinions sought please. nm
I'm a new employee and all this talk has me nervous. Has anyone made good money with TTS?
Of course you are entitled to your opinions... sm
and entitled to your right to free speech, as well. The problem I had with your original post, going into minute detail about this conference, is that you presented it as FACT and while a lot of your info is, in fact, fact, you injected your personal opinion in with those facts and it makes it more difficult for those not invited to the meeting to sort through the ideas expressed. IOW, you were not an unbiased reporter merely presenting who, what, when, where, why and how.
Additionally, your original post left out what, to me anyway, was something of major interest: That the Acusis CEO has been a thorn in the side of some of the big-boy MTSOs to the point of being sued for calling them out on their less than honest billing practices, and that he intends to continue to push for transparency in that arena as well. That statement alone was enough to make me say Yee-Ha! right out loud... but you forgot to mention it.
ANy opinions on DeVenture? nm.

Throw out your opinions on my new job...sm
Some of you may have read the post from yesterday about just being hired but a little nervous now. Was supposed to start Sun. evening but Acct. Mgrs. & I.T. people are unreliable and don't have it together. So far they are all Indian, even tho they are all working in MA (they wouldn't lie I assume?) meaning I have a hard time communicating to begin with. Several e-mails w/no response, several times been told I'll be getting my User ID. Now its Weds. and it should have been sent to me by noon AGAIN (right about now). Many other disorganized, confusing factors on their part as well but I'll withhold the boring details. Would you stick it out? I do understand from some of you that it can often be hairy getting set up and going but I would assume the professional thing to do on any company's part is keep you informed and have a consistent contact and keep you up to date on the plan. These people say this, send something different, no reply when I'm supposed to have it....is this usually an indication of the things I'll deal with during employment there as well? I think I'm subconsciously looking for someone to say Get the heck out and drop 'em because I just have bad vibes now. Let's hear what you've got....thx :)
