ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
Current information.
I've been with OSi for a couple of years, and I have no complaints.
Currently, the insurance is Aetna, certainly middle of the road in coverage and price, and they switched to them from United Health last August because UH was going drastically increase the premiums due to the high volume of use they had from the company. Current family plan on the managed PPO is around $250 per pay period (twice a month), and that is the most expensive plan. The others have much higher deductables, and they offer the medical savings account plan, but I prefer a traditional coverage plan. If you're looking for individual coverage it is much less than that. OSi pays about 50% of the cost, some other companies are contributing more like 80%, so the monthly bill is higher than some, less than others.
I have received all bonuses promised, all holiday pay, all celebratory pay, and my annual raises. All pay has been on time. I have found the pay scale to be very competetive with other nationals.
You are expected to have a schedule, but in my experience there is more than adequate flexibility for anything that comes up. If you are scheduled on the weekends and have made other arrangements for time off you may be called, but just if they haven't seen the change or if your manager forgets to change it on the schedule for the week. Like any real job working for other people, things happen, and you may just need to say that you made other arrangements with your manager. Not a big deal, frankly. You just need to let people know in advance, or if it is last minute call, so they aren't wondering what happened.
Vacation time accrues at a rate equal to 10 days a year in the first 3 years, then increases. Vacation pay rate is based on you average output prior to vacation (not sure how long they average). Not as high as you would get typing, but certainly very nice when you're on vacation.
If you work on a government account you do have a background check, but you provide the contacts for them, so think about who you list. This is done by an outside government source, not OSi, though they send the paperwork, then it's sent to the gov. agency.
If you do work on VA accounts, typically all national holiday weeks are pretty light, but they make up for it in volume by the end of the week. Other accounts vary as to flow of work, though most seem pretty steady in my experience.
I happen to really like my primary account. The lines pile up fast, because the reports are long, and you don't spend a lot of time setting up the demographics. Not all accounts are equal, and with first-hand knowledge of several accounts at OSi and at a few other nationals, the specific account is the luck of the draw.
This is a real job, and I've found that if I approach it like one it is appreciated. If you are a full-time employee it is reasonable for a company to expect you to work your hours as planned unless you notify them otherwise. I know many companies give a time window of 12 hours to get your lines and hours in, so you may be more comfortable with a place like that than with a job that asks you to base your week on a regular schedule. There are many people who are better suited to freelance gigs, because the reason they work at home is to have total freedom to work when and how often they want. If that is what you're looking for, you should consider working as an independant contractor (IC). There are some working at OSi, and most other companies also have both employee and IC positions. You just have to ask the recruiter or personnel officer if it's available, and get the rates.
Please keep in mind that message boards are most often used by people who have something they want to complain about. It's an easy place to vent frustration and anger, and sometimes not so easy to get the opinions of people who are busy at work. As a very long-time internet user, I've found that to be true of all types of message boards, and you have to learn to balance the information you get from here accordingly.
Any current information on OSi?
Thanks, but I'm looking for current information. Anyone else?
It is better to get the current information sm
directly from the employer as we may not have the most correct information ourselves or may even misinterpret what we do have. That is why we say ask the employer. It's not fair to you to give you incorrect or misleading information.
Any current information
Is there anyone with current information on Lartech? Pay? Pay on time? Any info is appreciated
UST--current information
Considering applying. Any information as far as how they are to work for, benefits, etc?
Looking for current information regarding
Archivus. I have seen some discussions about them on this site, where it was stated that they were changing their platform from Vienetta to Transcribe+, but I cannot find out any information about this platform and was hoping some of you who are working for Archivus, or those who use the same platform, could provide some information here about the platform.
Also, I am wondering about the flexibility in scheduling. They say they do offer flexible schedules, and the employment type is IC. Do you know what timeframe there is for getting in the 1200 lines per day?
I guess the other thing I would like to know about is, does anyone know about how long it takes to get up and running once an offer of employment has been made? There was some discussion here about that being the one bad thing about this company, so I was just looking for an idea of how long it actually takes.
I appreciate any insight offered here. Thanks, and have a great day!

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!!
Any experience with Imedx
Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble getting paychecks on time and/or accurate. 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
