Any info on ATSI/MT-World please, sm
Was just offered a job with ATSI doing radiology.  They pay they offered is more than any company that I have been applying with has offered, even a lot more than the company I am currently working for.  I have been soooo stressed out with my current company lately that I need a better opportunity and I pray this is the deliverance that I have been asking for.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  TIA!!!
ATSI - any recent info on them appreciated

Considering them and would like to know the scoop on them. 


ATSI (American Transcription Solutions Inc......any info?
Thanks!
Info on ATSI (American Transcription Solutions)

Would be helpful to know WHICH OSi you work for.
One puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth because of their business practices, which I'm assuming is the one you're with. However, the other out of PA, is a delight to work for, so it that's the company you're talking about, I'd be really surprised.
I work for them and find their QA staff to be quite helpful.
They are some of the most knowledgeable that I have run across but would never call them rude.  They are very nice.
Do not work for ATSI
I did not like the company at all. Horrible pay. I did not like the hiring manager whatsoever. Very snotty. Not worth your time or money with this company.
Do NOT work for ATSI
Cank you believe these jerks offered me a job 3-1/2 weeks ago and I have been following up with them constantly to find out about my status.  Well they finally e-mailed me and stated that I could retest with them in 3 months because they are just overwhelmed with applications.  I told them that I passed my test with flying colors and they offered me employment almost a month ago and why the heck should I retest in 3 months again for employment.  There is something seriously wrong with this company..........
Anybody work for ATSI?

I just got hired yesterday for radiology and then acute care as a backup acct.  They are working with me for my hours since I small children and so far they have been great.  I train on Monday for 1 hour and then start working that evening.  I've been a Transcriptionist for 15 years and have yet been able to stay at a place too long because everybody seems to run out of work and I have to work full time.  Anybody work for ATSI?  Any comments, suggestions? Anything at all?


Thanks bunches


Anyone else who used to work for ATSI s/m

Get the letter and such today from them regarding their recent audit by the Department of Labor?  


I went to get my mail this afternoon and was surprised to see that in there. 


Are they really? It's a new MT company out of Tampa area. Do you think
it's the same people? Why would they have a different company?
I'm from Tampa and I have looked all over google, anywho -sm
you name it, I cannot find anything on this company. Wonder what's up with that???
Anybody heard of Milam-Renfroe Assoc. out of Tampa?
Any information would be appreciated.  TIA
Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

Thanks - Very Helpful
I would not be paying any of the MTs at an editor’s rate I would continue to pay at their existing MT rate. I did send out a communication to the team to ask for feedback and did not even think of mentioning that there would be no reduction in pay rate. I have probably scared a few people.
Thank you! Very, very helpful. :) NM

A helpful way to think about it
I had asked this question awhile back when considering a job offer and they said something like 1 minute = 10 lines

Basically, if you get paid .09 cents per line, that would translate to 0.90 cents per minute of dictation.

I get paid $1.10 per dictated minute which is about equivalent to 11 cpl.

Hope that helps!
Not sure how helpful I can be (sm)
but in my short time with MDI I've found that weekend work is typically plentiful and more often than not, at least on my primary, they are asking for extra help on weekends.

I have a primary and a secondary, both on the internet platform. If my primary is low, I switch to my secondary for a little while. I have had no problems meeting my weekday lines between my primary and secondary accounts.

I would encourage you to talk with your laision about your concerns and enquire about a secondary account.

From what I've seen, the company works very hard to make sure everything stays within TAT.

For me, I was fed up with my previous employer's rigid schedule and opted for something a little more relaxed. I am much, much happier and more relaxed, and actually look forward to working now.
Thank you both - most helpful!

Actually this is very helpful ...
Thanks so much for responding. 
ANYONE helpful at OSi?

Hey-I'm the one who asked earlier for some opinions on the management thing that had come open there.  Thanks for your input, y'all.  I'm sorry I'm staying anonymous--as long as I'm still stuck there, I need to.


Here's my latest question:  Is there ANY higher-up there who is helpful?!   Identifying employees not allowed.  Posters can email you through the links below.


There are a couple of people there who have it in for me.  I'm a XXXX good transcriptionist--I catch all the errors the dictators make, and don't even get me started on how grammatically awful and also unprofessional my team leader is (which is why I don't speak to my team leader about my problems).  Ever since I caught her out in a lie and also mentioned a couple flaws in the system, it has become very clear that, despite the fact that I'm one of the best they've got, they'd love to have a reason to get rid of me. 


This is unfair (duh).  Is there ANYONE nice there?!


Thank you very much.


helpful at OSi
They do not have someone for the position - I dont think people have it in for anyone here, otherwise some people in power would not be there (anyone who works there knows of whom I speak)-good communication both ways is the key!
Thank you! You have all been very helpful! (nm)

This was very helpful! thanks! (nm)

could you be less helpful??!!
I checked the archives and there wasn't much. Just saying RUN doesn't tell us anything.

Did you actually work for them or did you simply have a bad recruiting experience? Were the people difficult to work with? Was the platform difficult? Did they cheat on line count or not send paychecks on time? Too many ESLs? Not the type of work you wanted to do? Some real details would help.

As I said in a previous post - things that one person hates, others might like - so unless you actually want to give some details, why even waste your time answering, its a waste of my time to even check your post.
not helpful
I have talked to them in person. I thought maybe they could hook me up with a specialty like phychiatry or Orthopedics. She was very discouraging...said her clients are looking for the basic 4, hospital work, which I would rather not do but CAN. Luckily, I found a good company on my own that lets me specialize if I want so I am happy now.
It would be helpful if you said just

how long ago you worked there.  Sometimes a company can get its act together and it would be a shame if they had improved but are still getting a bad rap.  I think that is why the archives are sometimes not so helpful. 


Sometimes you just gotta try 'em out.  There are no guarantees. 


 


Not sure if this is helpful or not
And unfortunately I'm going to be very vague on specifics, but there are a couple of services out there who actually lease out extra space on their dictation servers for small companies. IOW, you could find clients, and then they would dial into the Company X's servers with their dictation, where you could then access it to transcribe it and send the reports to the physicians via internet.

I'm sorry but right now I cannot remember the specific company's name. They had an ad up within the last month or so looking for transcriptionists, and while investigating that I saw that they also had the above arrangement set up. If my feeble brain coughs up the information or I come across it, I'll gladly post it for you.
Thanks to all for your post...very helpful

Thank you everyone for your input. It is helpful! nm

Rude & not helpful..
Notice a trend here? :(
Thanks SO much - you've been very helpful! nm

you're so helpful.thank you. sm

Do you remember if they had a certain amount of minutes/week or # of days per week minimum? or mandatory weekend time?


Too, I have been afraid to work IC as opposed to employee because someone told me I'd have to take out errors and omissions insurance which would be very expensive. If I don't get the insurance and work IC they said I could be sued for any errors I made.  True or not true? And . . . Are you you're own business when IC? 


Any info helpful.



This is very helpful - thank you! nmsg

Is this Shelly H.? That is not helpful

They were never in the least helpful to me. I found my
own job/s and never heard a word from them. I would not recommend them at all. I know a private individual (MT/QA) who has led me to more openings than any employment service could ever have done, but in most cases, just contact the companies you see advertise and you will find a job. You might want to try Phoenix MedCom if you are interested specifically on ops.
Thanks so much for the responses. You were very helpful!! nm
