In Reply to: I just got hired too!! I had sent 3 resumes over a 3 year period and - sc
never employee positions at MDI-MD, strictly IC only. Are you sure you have the right company? I have many friends who work there as well, and all are IC and wish they had employee status. Very confused here.

Yikes! Webmedx recently told me they don't have
...the capability for VR. Is this something new?
Recently hired on and was told those of us coming on now (sm)
were eligible to participate immediately in the 401. As far as the matching, their ad states discretionary so I assume it is dependent upon profit margin or something. At least they are up front about it and not telling you they match and then say, Oops, no more like MQ did.
I recently hired on and was told they were kind of getting away from 12 hour (sm)
but that a lot of that depended on the account you were hired for.
I also tested for them recently... took about a week to hear from them. nm

Was told recently that they do 70% clinic notes and 30% acute care, very few Ops. Don't know

Superior Global-out of Plano, TX..anyone else apply recently, told they were hiring quickly and to
do the testing ASAP..only to do the testing ASAP and then hear nothing. Trust me, the testing WAS NOT hard so I can't believe I wouldn't have passed that part. I followed up with emails as to whether they received my tests back etc..but nothing. no response. I find that rude. Even a simple, Dear John, we aren't hiring you would have been polite than nothing at all..Unprofessional
They told me they'd call by the end of the week.
so i'm just waiting, lol
This week I was told $11.25 an hour
I'd be editing VR all day though as she sends her standard transcription off to some MTSO. I forgot to ask which. Those wages are not bad really for this part, but nothing to scream about. I was making $14 an hour at the in-house hospital job and the peak there was $17.50. The bens are wonderful, $150 for family and that includes dental, vision. We also get a 401k.
But just from the interview, we only get yearly raises. She doesn't do merit increases. There are no quarterly QA audits. Her standards are low, 1100 lines per day for editing. She told me I was at the top of her list to hire but she is still interviewing. I took it as she was looking for someone who would work cheaper.
Also I was told there is a 20 hour per week requirement (sm)
along with the 4,000 line. I have been an IC with this company since 1998 and just found this out about a week ago. Nothing in anything I actually signed, they were just "letting me know" to maintain my status this was the requirement.
As above, each office is different although I think they are trying to get more uniform across the board.
I was told that was no longer an option last week.

TNI told me last week they weren't hiring currently as
s
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL. When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle. I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so. He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had. Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan.
You need to confirm that with Keystrokes as I was told last week it was not. sm
I would assume each account has different software and programs as to whether it is compatible or not. I was told most of their accounts are not. So don't assume that all Keystrokes accounts are compatible.
They told me last week they weren't hiring
true or false? This was e-mail from Carlotta.
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
They test for ortho but not others but I was just told that starting this week, everyone will have t
I love it there too!
I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.

Has been down a lot recently, but..
only for very short periods at a time, not sure if they're doing upgrades or what. Could also be weather-related with the terrible tornadoes this week in parts of the country. You just have to be patient and adjust your schedule slightly when it happens. I love the BeyondTxt platform, it's the easiest I've worked on. IMO, MDI-FL is a very good company, and I can't say that about many out there these days, so was worth it for me.
recently went to an HSA
and went IC.
Actually some of us are ICs. Recently ...
MDI was only hiring ICs with SE status after so many days or months. So there are some ICs that were with MDI.
In my meeting CB said that Transcend had IC, SE and employee and the usual case by case. I think she wrongfully mislead the person who asked this question because that was the first I had heard of their being SE status at Transcend.
I have not had issues until recently and
with you I would; however, I don't! FYI, I am dealing with my issues and if they are not resolved to my satisfaction, I will leave. Thanks for your concern and have a great day! DVW
Recently started too
Flexible schedule but you need to decide what your hours are and commit to them. Benefits granted at 32 hours. Plenty of work. Really good, patient and supportive people. Training with guaranteed pay. Smooth, easy and fast startup. Good, high-tech platform.
There was recently a big campaign on
to try to get MLS who were smart enough to quit Transcend before, to come back to Transcend because of all the recent *improvements* the company claimed they made. I wonder how many of those did come back and how many are happy that they came back did versus how many have quit again or are ready to quit again.
Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
Duh..I until recently was an Ochsner MT and still
geez... get your facts straight
I see, yea, happened again recently with someone in QA and
today with a wonderful coordinator, seems very unstable. I just don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Well, I started recently
and I'm only getting 8.5 c. I'm FT, acute care and do the weekend. And I have 18 years experience with acute care. That totally sucks. I'm so depressed now. I wish I would have never read this whole thread. 
Have been postson it recently. I know you have to
train in house for a week or two - I believe two? Which was totally not part of my game plan anymore! Yuck!
As recently as 2 months ago, they are SM
still selling you that foot pedal (that you pay full purchase price for and then in the contract it says you must return WHAT YOU PAID FOR when you leave them) and they have the same pay scale they did 3-4 years ago. They still tend to prey mostly on new-ish transcriptionists who don't know any better. Other than the person recruiting, nothing has changed about Medscribe in Jacksonville, FL.
Yes it has happened recently, and sm
people have been posting about them paying late & shorting checks for 2 years now. How they are still getting away with this?
We hav recently answered these
Look on page 2,3,4,5 etc...
Try Breitner out of N.Y.- ran ad recently
xx
Took that test recently
and it did not require a foot pedal. The test I took was pretty much multiple choice and spelling corrections. But yours might be set up differently.
There was talk about them recently, but again (sm)
They are notoriously bad about paying and have been for years. They misrepresent whether they pay for spaces or not, and they pay when they feel like it. I waited months for payment back when I worked for them a few years ago.
Started recently
Lots of work. Very nice people to work for! Platform is easy to work on.
I just recently left
They changed accounts on me all the time - they overhire and then we ended up with no work.
What do you mean "until very recently"?
They haven't done ANYTHING to prevent it!!!!!! In fact, they encourage it!!!!!!!!!
I do too, and they helped me recently
when I had a low-virtual memory problem and I wasn't savvy enough to know what to do. Busy as they are, they didn't make me feel stupid for needing help with it.
Who is the too? I've seen ads recently for JLG. They
do disappear for a while and then pop up again. For a while they had recruiters, maybe they hired from the posted resumes, maybe the hired locally.
I worked there very recently
I worked for Precyse for 6 months. In the beginning, workflow was great. I don't know what happened between then and now, but I was lucky to get 50 hours for a 2-week pay period. When work is low, you usually can't work on your secondary because their work is low also and they don't want to take away from the primary MTs. That leaves no room open to make up time. Every pay period, I had to use whatever was in my PTO account for the missing money.
I actually had 4 different accounts I was doing at one time to keep busy, so I should have been considered on the SWAT team as far as that goes...lol.
It is a very nice company with wonderful people, but my main issue is feeding my kids and helping my husband with the bills, so I took my 10 years' experience elsewhere and am very, very happy.
