I just left MDI-MD, so there is an opening! nm

Apply anyway. That way if they do have an opening come up
for days, they will have you in their database and the test will have already been taken. It couldn't hurt to try. I have a friend who just was hired to do ops there. Their rate is very good. Their application asks the times you are available and because you don't find MTs that like ops that often, I am sure they will be able to fit you in at some point. I would go for it. I hear they are a really nice company to work for.
Webmedx just had an opening for QA. sm
I justed interviewed with them about a week and a half ago for QA position, but turned it down because of the pay. Maybe they haven't filled it yet and since you can no longer transcribe, this might be an option for you.
OSi coordinator job opening again? Another
Same here. No issues opening them.

Again, VR is opening up that can of worms.
I answered on the other board, but mine was not moved so am reposting. As far as VR, I love it, others dislike it, even saying the hate word. I can make $20 and up per hour on the platform I use. From what I read here, some are not so lucky to have a very good system and it slows them down to where their pay has been cut to a large degree. I love escription, have used it now for about 4 years and really hate to straight type anymore. I find the ESLs, at least where I work, are so much easier with VR than having to sort through what they are trying to say. I will say how a system is trained and who works on it has all to do with what kind of reports you have. You could have almost perfect reports with a good system that has learned well and then you could get a clunker with loads on teaching the machine various ways and that is where the problem lies with VR.
Opening up that can of worms, once more
I stayed with a job that went to VR but not for 3 cpl. That is really low and I hate it is coming down to this at so many places. My straight pay is 8 cpl. Escription is a really good system. You will find all kinds of answers on here back and forth. This will never be settled, seems like. Some love, others despise. Some have good systems, others not so good. From just what I gathered reading MQ site, I don't think their platform was that good as many talked about how it always had same errors and never seemed to be different. I have been accused of being software promoter but like you and others I do MTing but just happen to like my job and VR.

Anyone having trouble opening posts?

Let me get this straight. You were angry because they did not have an opening on the account that y
were they supposed to do, remove a current employee to make room for you? They can only hire for accounts that have openings. I don't think they were unwilling to work with you, as you think, but maybe that's all they had open at the time.
That's exactly what I told my BF last night, opening the boxes...
I'm in CA and it took 4 days FedEx ground from TX. Maybe yours will come even sooner. I'm waiting for the tech to call me as I write this so my email, etc., can be set up and then my training date/time scheduled.
Congrats to BOTH of us :-)
Some slice Indian businessman will be opening up his own MTSO
of the U.S. CEO. Then the real money is going to be saved. Don't MTSOs see this?
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company??? They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan... 
Cooper has an opening in radiology. St. Christopher's hires in-house, but
I think they are in Philly.
Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

I tested and passed Med-Tech, interviewed and was told they had opening- but I guess
I made the mistake of typing the name IC as "individual" contractor, and the recruiter e-mailed me back with the corrected "independent" contractor, and later sent an e-mail and said they were not hiring and that if anything should become available, they would contact me. I have since found that they have hired since that time, but no one ever contacted me again. I figure it was "their loss", not bragging or boasting, but I know I would have been an asset to the company. IMO
They seem to be a pretty together company though. I occasionally go to their website and read their quarterly "whatever you call it," and they always have interesting information in their for transcriptionists, and about the company, and the QA standards and goals. I would love to have worked there. I hear they have good benefits too.
I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
Transhealth LLC
Any good or bad on this company? Appreciate any info.

I worked for them for a month and a half. Very regimental about scheduling and time off. My dad had cancer and I took 3 days off to be with him and they griped. Also, very big brother. If you don't get up to speed within a week, they limit how many reports you can type to 10 a day (no matter what the length of report, long or short) until you get up to speed with quality and quantity. You work the schedule they want with no variations and if you are not in the chair when they think you should be will get e-mail from them asking where you are (even if it is something like you need to be in the bathroom a little longer because you don't feel well). Very particular on QA (as should be) and always checking on you. Go very strictly by AAMT book of Style and expect you to know it. will even send you a copy. Insurance is Blue Cross/Blue Shield out of Tennessee. They offer full benefit package of medical/dental/vision and do take out taxes. Dental is Delta Dental. The account they had me on out of east Tennessee was a hospital account that had a lot of very thick foreign dialects. I was not happy with them because I needed more flexible scheduling and they are set and that is it. If they tell you you work 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., you better have your butt in that chair the entire time between then. Another fact that my brother later pointed out to me is that they are an LLC company which is limited liability corporation, so if they close their doors for any reason, they are by law not liable to pay you anything of back wages and you just lose if they owe you anything when they close the doors. So, I am not real sure how long they have been around, but I think may be a young company of a few years, so that is something also to consider. If you like acute care and hospital dictation they have a lot of it. Not sure if all of their hospitals are like the one I had with a lot of foreigners, but that is the one they gave me. The day supervisor Kristin that I was training with to start with was very nice but I did not care for the evening supervisor, Teresa, who I thought was very harsh and like working under a drill sargent. So, that is what I can tell you. I am not trying to influence you only stating the facts as I know them from my experience with them. Someone else may have a different view than mine, but this is all the information I can give you.

Thanks for the recommendation on TransHealth. I am specifically looking for a company who pays both headers and spaces so will check them out. So far I have been told by the companies who do not pay for headers that everything loads right in - NOT! Between looking for correct data or verifying what is automatically loaded in, I just feel it is a lot of time I am not getting paid for. Thanks again!

Is there anybody out there who worked for TransHealth, quit, and then went back? How did it go?
What is TransHealth's Rad pay?...
A whopping 8cpl like everyone else? 
TransHealth Rad Pay- sm
When I was hired back in June, it was 8 cpl, and I trained for HALF a day...they have the most horrible system for radiology, although they rave about how great it is. I never saw such a cumbersome system just to get into the report took about 5 minutes. No wonder they offer 8 cpl. I quit after a few hours of that. Look elsewhere if you want to make any kind of decent production.
TransHealth
TransHealth-Any info appreciated as I am considering taking employment with them.
Don't know about TransHealth but...
If your main account is a teaching hospital with long reports being paid by line would probably be a good thing - if its not a teaching hospital with mainly short reports it would probably NOT be a good thing. I'd make sure I knew what kind of a hospital it was B4 being paid by line or not...
TransHealth
I was also offered a Radiology job by TransHealth but am afraid to give up my hourly job. What do you think?
TransHealth is the one. NM

Full-time: work a 40-hour week or average 12,500 lines per pay period. Part-time: work <40 hours a week with a minimum of 6,000 lines per pay period. Pay periods are 1st through the 15th and 16th to the end of the month. Hope this helps.
Transhealth
I was told they expect 150-175 lines per hour. Their Policy, Procedures, and Benefits Handbood says 40-hour week OR average 12,500 lines per pay period. Part-time is a minimum line requirement of 6,000 lines per pay period. I just started with them and, yes, I have a set schedule, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
Yes, definitely at TransHealth. nm

I believe TransHealth had an ad recently indicating they would pay 10 for experienced MTs, but it might have been for those willing to do heavy ESL dictators. Check them out, I tested and have to call them back today as they called yesterday and left a message. Seem pretty good and I believe I read mostly favorable comments on them here. Others paying that high are IC.

You can do M-F with rotating weekends.

You are right, the company I am talking about is TransHealth. I also started there a few weeks ago and am having a hard time hitting line count due to the constant low work volumes on the accounts I have been placed on. Talk about frustrating! The staff is very nice, however, they are disorganized.
I had a very bad exp with TransHealth
A certain lady was very rude and locked me out of work when I had a medical emergency, even though they knew the situation. Awful place to work.
Actually it was Transhealth! nm

Transhealth?
I am wondering why TransHealth is still looking -- are they not a good company to work for? They have had that posting for editors for quite some time?
In general - wondering - what is average pay for QA/editing positions?
SE only at Transhealth nm

TransHealth Rad
You are paid by the report. It is all internet based so unlimited LD is not needed. They were a decent company to work for, unfortunately there was never enough work to keep me busy.
Transhealth
From my experience, TransHealth is a waste of time. They have absolutely no regard for their applicants. Let's just say if you are lucky or I should say unlucky, you will hear from them. First you take a miserable transcription test, then you take a written test, and if you pass both of those, you will be scheduled for a mini-test over the phone. The test is a definition test. They ask you words, you need to know the meaning. They catch you totally off guard. If you don't do well on the mini-test, it doesn't matter if you passed the two other tests, which means they are more concerned with definitions than your transcription ability.
Their process is very time consuming and in my opinion, not worth the effort especially from a company that is afraid to post their compensation. So I say thumbs down to Transhealth. It's a waste of time.
Transhealth
With their extensive testing, you would think their pay was tops in the industry. No wonder they don't tell you up front.
Transhealth
So here's my question. How many Radiology people know the definition of abduction versus adduction off the top of their head without looking them up?
Transhealth
What is the definition without looking it up?

Hi, you need to keep it together--TransHealth--SM
There is a lot in the archives, but I'll share my experience.
I just started working there a couple of weeks ago. I like it. I'm struggling because it has been a long time since I've done acute care. It is hard work, but every day it is getting easier. I have to look up stuff A LOT! But that's due to my inexperience.
QA has been very helpful. Office staff have been very friendly. The platform that I work on (ChartMatrix) is very easy to learn. You have to have your own word Expander (I use ShortHand). They have a built-in Stedman's dictionary in their spell checker. You have the ability to look up previous reports, which I love and have found very helpful.
They allowed me to pick my own schedule.
Medical benefits start the 1st of the month after you start. Pay is fair (better than I made at MQ though less than I made with my previous small MTSO).
Any questions in particular? I'm glad I made the move. I feel nervous that I'm not up to my line count yet, but I haven't received any negative feedback about that (yet), so I'll just keep pushing myself to improve each payday.
Good luck to you. I left my e-mail above if you'd like to chat by e-mail.

TransHealth - sm
Last year I accepted a rad position with them for 8 cpl...trained for 4 hours, and knew within that time frame that the place was NOT for me - horrible accounts, sound quality terrible, and it took longer to look up the patient and put in all the demographics than it did to type the report!! Not very productive method of transcribing, IMHO. Good luck in what you decide.
transhealth
Not only that............did they call you to tell you had a stat report, as though you could not see it? The time they take to call and harass you, one could have typed report already.
TransHealth
I see TransHealth is looking for full-time only. Can anyone tell me how they define full-time? Hours versus lines, and if hours how many? Thanks much.
Has anyone ever been let go from Transhealth for
Am wondering how strict they are with this before I apply. Thanks!
TransHealth
I have read the former posts archived here about TransHealth. I would like to hear more from anyone who has anything to share. Any current news on TransHealth? Steady work? Pay? Benefits?
Thanks, Lynn
