No not talking about Webmedx!

Sorry, talking about TransTech. (nm)

I'm guessing you are talking about Webmedx .
they do not type in radnet, they have their own software. Radnet is used for macros, search patient's, etc.
all of the notes about Webmedx are positive. What R U talking about?
.
For the person who emailed me, we are talking about TransTech.

TransTech, WebMedX: Can you use your own

Webmedx versus Transtech (sm)
I tested with both and have been offered positions with both. Seeing good and bad for Webmedx, but a lot of good for Transtech. Anyone care to share info on either?

Thanks!
TransTech and Webmedx question

Are you limited to only working 40 hours a week or can you work as many hours as you want?


P.


Axolotl, TransTech, WEBMEDX
Good luck :)
Worked for both Webmedx and Transtech sm
Webmedx really has a nice benefits package and shift differential working third shift 2.00 an hour from 12 a to 6 a and 1.00 an hourfrom 6p to 12 a. the platform really is slow though, some have problems and some don't, depends on CPU processing speed and internet connection. I had 5 megabyte speed so did not notice much issues except when they were low on work. But in order to qualify for bonus you have to average 150 LPH for the payperiod.

Transtech has good bonuses, has different options for benefits, and pay up to 40.00 for you ISP depending on what you pay per month, has a QA bonus for reports less than 10% sent to QA, shift differential--- these are 0.0025 to 0.005 per line depending 2nd or 3rd shift. I think the platform is much faster. You are working with Word interface ExText. You can see 3 jobs at a time, Webmedx you can't.

Webmedx has a timeclock and Transtech has a timesheet but are more for lines per day and pay period then actual lines per hour. Transtech expects you to work your full shift though regardless if you reach your lines in half the time.

Hope that helps. I liked Webmedx benefits package, but I liked working with less pressure for lines produced per hour. I feel my reports have better quality that way.
webmedx vs transtech medical
webmedx or Transtech medical input please.

I really would appreciate some input on these 2 places. I appreciated all the in input on Precyse. After working at Spheris going to another outsource company is terrifying, but see the writing on the wall with the local hospital I am working for now. Need something to get me to retirement in 4 years. TIA
Webmedx and TransTech, Can't decide
I have been offered jobs with both companies, and would love to hear the good and bad of each if anyone has anything to offer. 
I can't speak for Webmedx but Transtech
Great everything
TransTech, Superior Global, WebMedx

I would recommend something other than Webmedx. If you can get good references regarding Transtech,

Who's best all around company; Transolutions, Spheris, Webmedx,Transtech?
nm
I worked part-time for Webmedx and I work FT for TransTech. sm

My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad.  Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package.  My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies.  Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx.  Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay.  I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer.  I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.


I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them.  My line counts are fair.  The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met.  The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account.  The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.


Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone.  I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!



Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually

What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
You MUST be talking about OSI

see... this is what I'm talking about
This is good stuff. Thank you. Now about platforms. What seem to be the main complaints? What makes a platform 'good'? The one I work on has a screen where most of the demographcis are filled in, but you have to do a couple. Then you go into the report. I don't really mind it, but have nothing to compare it to.
I don't know who YOU are talking about
I don't really know who you are talking about nor do I care about what happened in Spring 2004. That was 18 months ago. But if that lady did have a company, I am sure she knew something about running a company. I was speaking about current stuff, and the ladies I worked for were absolutely THE most wonderful people ever. One even went to bat for me when the company shorted me some money. She stood up to the big dogs, and she won too!!!! What a wonderful, wonderful human being!!! She was a great TEAM leader, TEAM player, and made our team awesome!!! She made you want to work for her AND our team!! Never in all my years of working ANYWHERE (and I'm 45 years old...so lots of bosses!!!) have I ever found anyone that compares with her! I had (and have) many that need to take lessons from her, but none that compare or even come close! :)

Okay, we are obviously talking about
The Sten-Tel I am referring to is located at One Monarch Place in Springfield, MA. They do not use a payroll service. One of the owners does the payroll. Please state the address of the company you are referring to.

That's why it's the mess that it is. They were too afraid their fees would get frozen and they couldn't charge $600 to get a benign polyp analyzed under a scope(actual price, yes, from a bill). She mentioned the word healthcare, and the AMA, the largest world in the union (as the docs how much they pay for the medical insurance - NOTHING), squished her. We desperately NEED health care reform, but big bucks Bush (the one who says we need to give up our love for oil, even though oil is what is padding his pockets), and his buddies at the AMA (including corrupt Frist) won't allow it. So, it, along with everything else in this country, is going to continue to slide downhill. Bill was bad, yep - left good old Georgie boy a heap of money in the bank that he now has spent like a mad drunk.
What are you talking about???
In your 15 years experience, you should know that the proper word to use is 'accept', not except. I made the above post and have 8 years experience and am probably younger than you are. What part of my post indicates that I cannot 'accept' that this field is changing?

The newbies need to 'accept' the fact that this is a serious profession and that you must be dedicated and willing to work hard if you intend to remain in this field. YOU are the one who needs to GET OVER IT and crack open a dictionary while you're at it.
Now I KNOW you don't know what you are talking about (sm)
They don't have acct supervisors
Not sure if you are talking about same co. or not
Did you see an ad on MT Jobs? Spelling of name is different so I just want to be sure.
Just talking about it
I did not just talk about it. I cancelled my membership.
? I think you are talking to me, but I am SM

not the other person posting above.  I don't link to an email because I want to be anonymous.  I don't cheerlead for TH, it's just a job, better than some I have had but I have had better jobs in the past.  I need the insurance, they pay on time and I make enough money to pay my bills.  I don't think I can exactly call that cheerleading.  I know of worse companies.


As far as the names on the list, I must have a different email roster than you because the #s you give correspond to people I know are American MTs, so I am confused about where you are seeing Indonesian names.


are you talking about use of IM ? nm

That's exactly what I'm talking about

You don't know what you are talking about

Medware has over 200 transcriptionists in India.  They have more MTs in India than they do in the U.S.  I gave Medware a chance.  I worked with them for many years and in the end I got to watch my friends take a huge cut in pay when Medware decided all reviewers would make $8.00 an hour with incentives for ridiculously high production expectations that only about 2 people can make.  I have watched the lead MTs lose their positions only to be asked to return to transcription.  It is insulting the way Medware treats their people. 


I am glad you like Medware.  I used to like them too.  But I am sure if you stick around long enough and start making enough money with them, you too will learn how they really are. 


I don't know what you are talking about but
I can tell you that QA people do not get the bucks. They should, but they make about half what an MT makes. I do not transcribe, which is why I am in QA, so if you think we make big bucks, think again.

Companies have gone cheap on all of us. It is not MT against QA out there. QA has usually done their part in the MT world. If they tried to give me MT work they would be out of luck cuz the profession has about done me in and I would be on total disability from what it has caused.

The companies just have no respect for any of us. That's the bottom line. Don't blame your woes on QA. Blame it on the companies who have no other thinking other than the bottom line.
Anyone talking with MDI-MD? (SM)
I was called by the recruiter Saturday before last.  She said someone would be calling me later to discuss the money aspect of it and I still have not heard from anyone.  I emailed the original recruiter and she said the other lady had a death in the family.  I waited until yesterday and emailed again and she said they have been really busy with a new account.  Just wondering if anyone else is going through this.  I have several interviews this week and would really like to put them in the running as what was intiallly told to me sounds very promising but I can only wait so long.....
I know exactly what you are talking about
I've had that happen so many times I can't even tell you.  Worked 7-days a week for one with not a single day off in over 3 years.  Gave notice due to health and  not being able to work those hours anymore and got an email talking about how I didn't know what hard work was, etc. etc.  Presently in a supervisory position, promoted only after 30 days to it, but told it didn't merit a raise.  No overtime allowed but I'm supposed to be here making sure things run smoothly all the time.  Head of QA on my account yet some of the new-hire editors are making more than I am.  Even with all the supervisory duties, my line output for editing is #1 for the account.  Does anybody care? Uh-uh.  Spent all day on the job sites looking for something better.  You'd think if you work your tail off and go above and beyond, it would matter, but it doesn't. 
I am sure we are talking about the same
person. What I can say about her is that she stands up for what she believes in and she will not take being treated like junk particularly when she probably knew more than anyone at the company.

She has helped me find jobs and she also will go out of her way to help anyone in this field and I applauded when she quit on them. They did not deserve her anyhow.
Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
RAD MT's, I was just offered a position with them, my current company came back with a counteroffer and that is the only reason I did not go with Precyse. They sound like a very good company to work for.
What you talking about?
There was an e-mail today mentioning 7 different accounts that have extremely high volumes right now, and telling us that if our primary is low or out of work, to please come over and work on these. If the work on your account is being saved for the cherrypickers (which I honestly doubt), then go on over and work on one of those. Sounds like there's a ton of work out there if you want it.
What are you talking about?

Oh of COURSE they are. What I'm talking about is - sm
the even higher likelihood of mistakes, ID theft and other problems. Not mention that MT is basically done under close to sweatshop conditions in those countries. The poor MTs sit shoulder-to-shoulder all day long. In videos I've seen, I sure havent seen much in the way of reference books for them, either. Just a medical dictionary.

Oh - and actually, in the 'scruples' department, I really have a problem with countries that treat animals so terribly. Dogs and cats crammed into cages in open-air markets to be sold as food. And then often skin them alive before doing so. The so-called 'lucky' ones are clubbed to death first.
If you are talking about me (sm)
I am trying to save  this person the disappointment.  No attitude.  I was being honest.  I thought that is what the Company Board is about.  Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn't meant to.
You don't even know what you are talking about.
