AWESOME. Did you hear
that AHDI/MTIA is now wanting MTs and editors who are entering the workforce and those currently employed will need to approach professional credentials the same way all other allied health workers do – as a necessary investment to engage in professional practice in this industry. Basically elevating the medical transcription certificate program to an associate degree by 2016?
thats awesome to hear
I start on Monday - can't wait. I am so tired of not having any work. I have been sitting here all day with no work. I just checked and I have 10 reports, about 1 minute each in the system. I think I will let someone else get them. Not work the $10 or so!
It nice to see some positive remarks about MQ, sm
I am starting tomorrow and am looking forward to it. 
Want to hear POSITIVE information
Anyone willing to share?
I love it.. and I see and hear a lot of positive things...
I do not know why the poster below says to get everything in writing; I have been a part of Transcend since 2003 and I really do love it. No issues, good communication, good pay. I have been in this industry a long time and have heard (and seen firsthand) a lot of horror stories. You cannot please everyone, but my experience has been very good. Feel free to e-mail me directly
So glad to hear all the positive feedback and I also accepted a position with them

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

thank you, that's very nice to hear.
do you use Lanier transcribing unit? Thank you for the information. I do not know what clinic I'll be on, but they require Lanier.
Nice to hear that. I am starting
with them. Do you have a steady supply. Not worried about ESLs, do them all the time. Are the rigid about the schedule (like MQ is turning into) or flexible.
The thing to remember about this board is that there are more negative people than positive that pos
The reason is that a lot of MT's have had bad experiences EVERYWHERE they go, if you know what I mean. They then bash the most recent company over and over again.
The same few people seem to have worked everywhere and have something bad to say about every company.
Take everything with a grain of salt on here. It is a gossip board.
The only ones to believe the negativity about are those that do not pay or bounce their payroll checks.
The rest? Well, most are decent companies that might not be a good fit for everyone. There is not much difference between all the bigger ones except whether they send work offshore or not. Otherwise, rates are similar, benefits are similar, work load is similar.
Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
Hey, nice to hear from you again. I would say Encompass is a very good sm
place to work. I wasn't working there full-time, but from what I saw, they have a nice benefit package, and the staff is very helpful and professional. The only kinda scary part is that they require 99.5% accuracy (or maybe 99, cannot remember). Fortunately, on my first QA thing before being released from QA, I did manage to achieve that (a little more actually), so I was relieved. I guess I just do not have enough confidence in myself. Unfortunately, they lost the account I was hired for, but they were looking for another one. In the meantime, though, my personal life kind of took a different turn, and I ended up moving from Kansas to Colorado, so I decided one job was enough for now.
As for eTransPlus, they are also very friendly, although much more disorganized than some companies. I was put off for a week and a half past the date I was hired to start, then when I did start, there were tech problems, then I did 4 jobs or so and ran out of work ... that kind of thing. Again, when I decided to move, I just decided it was not worth the extra aggravation. Still, I would recommend either company.
There are still some good companies out there, although I hesitate to comment since my experience is not recent. I used to work for MDI-MD, and they paid VERY well at the time because you had to supply your own LD, and that was before the days of unlimited LD. I had 5 accounts, so managed to keep myself busy, but now I read posts about people running out of work, so I do not really know.
I have heard good things about Axolotl, and I applied, but the only opening is 3rd shift with 80% ESLs, so I decided not to do it. Their benefits are great, though - no deductible for BC/BS! And there is a $500 sign-on bonus too. Oh well ...
I talked to Acusis, and if you can overlook their heavy overseas connection, they have a nice benefit package as well. The pay is so-so. I guess no one ever pays me what I know I am worth.
If you run into a company you are interested in, feel free to ask me. I have been an MT for about 100 years now, so I might have worked for them! 
Good luck -- hope you find something wonderful. 
Thanks You. It is nice to hear positives on Transcend since they (sm)
Will be my employer. I am trying to stay positive throughout the process, and not follow the rumors of paycuts, etc. on the boards. I will just wait and see what happens, and if I don't like the terms then I will look elsewhere.
The only thing I am upset about is possibly not working on Bayscribe anymore. Hope we get to keep using it at for our accounts.
Did anyone hear from the MT w/the 2 flexible PT jobs? I didn't. nm

Congrats to you -- always nice to hear from someone who is happy with his/her choices. :-) nm

YEAH for you! Nice to hear a happy ending.
I thought of you today. You posted once a fave website with a alphabetical Genus species list. I used it today as it is saved in my faves and it is only listed as HAYSEED! I wondered how you were...
Glad to hear!
Nice to hear. Can you give some details on the coverage?
nm
Trust me.. I have come from a lot of "crappy" jobs that is why it was so refreshing to hear so
excitement over the possibility of another job.. one that may be a great hidden treasure. I just think it is great when people never lose that newbie enthusiam even after some not-so-great experiences. I admire you totally and best wishes.. I hope this is the job you have looked for..If so, sign me up LOL

Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm

Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential. Love being an MT and working at home. You???
Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
For nice people.....:)
Hey, I'm nice. Can I post?
Hmmm.....what made me happy today? Bf sent flowers; that did it! LOL
Thanks for starting this post, nice to see a good one once in awhile. :)
Nice people ????
I worked at FN for a year and found the people there (with the exception of a couple) to be very difficult and not really caring about their workers whatsoever. I got tired of the ESLs, the people there, and running out of work...so I found another job. I suggest you do the same...you'll be much happier!
Very nice people
I couldn't disagree more with Olive Oyl. I've worked there almost a year myself, and I find everyone to be very nice. I don't get the feeling at all that they do not care about my well being!
Really nice people
I have worked there in the past, and the administrative staff/owner are reallyk nice, understandable, and easy to work with. I would recommend them.
Nice People
From what I remember this Tracey had a conflict with the operating system on her laptop and there were problems with initial installation but her overall experience with GIS ended up pretty good. I think she had to leave because she could not afford to continue her training as she had just graduated MT school. The people at GIS are awesome to work for. I have been there a little more than 2 years and I love it. There are no bipolar supervisors. I think I know who made that post and she was given a one in a lifetime opportunity to slide into management and she failed miserably. Don't know why she blames it on GIS.
Really nice people there,
but it is the only company I have ever quit on the spot with no notice. They had me completely at my wits' end. They didn't have enough work on the accounts they gave me so they kept switching me around - I think I had 4 different accounts in about a week and a half. Because there was no training pay, I couldn't keep putting in all that time learning new stuff. I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills. The people there are really nice though.
Very nice people....sm
I did general transcription for them briefly, I loved it, the sound quality was awesome!!!!!!!, but I could not handle it with working my full time employee position. It was just too much for me. They paid me on time, but for general transcription, the pay for general transcription may be low for some, but I was only doing this for extra money part time....
This is too bad! Why would such nice people
go through this? Every Christmas they would have a party for us, and they would never forget us! I left for personal reasons, just to take some time off and be with my children. I hoped to go back b/c I thought they were so family oriented. I hope that things turn around for everyone there.
Nice to see people who like where they
work and what they do. Question for all you TTers out there. I looked at their web site and they say they want 5 years of experience. Do you know if they'll consider people with 2 years? thanks for your input.
MQ people let's hear from you
This reporter I talked to knew all about the lawsuit with MQ so it would be interesting to show their latest practices.
The paper is in Long Beach, Calif.
They got rid of people who WERE doing their jobs too.
I was there and had a lot of friends there. My QA lead was let go. Several of the MTs I mentored were let go. Some of the other QA were let go.
For nice people only no bashers
This is a peaceful message.
Post here only if you have something nice to say.
Ugly messages not allowed!
Worked for them, nice people, low pay. nm

Nice people, but I was switched from
account to account because they ran out work. I also agree with Regina about the non-stop e-mails, etc.--too much distraction during the work day. They pay on time as agreed, but not too much. I'd say keep looking.
Nice people, but the pay scale is quite
complicated and very low. You can only get the top line rate if you're a CMT and trained on multiple accounts. They do send you a computer, but they don't charge for it. The most telling thing is that my former supervisor left shortly after I did. I say keep looking.
Be nice, people - it's Friday
     
Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
Nice people at Amphion, but there
were workflow issues and the pay is rather low. I gave it half a year, but I had to move on. There was also an issue with having to fill in demographics, which burned a lot of time.
yeh, forget it if the people are nice.
Yes, Precyse provides everything, very nice people there.

I like Phoenix, very nice people there sm
If you are okay with being IC, give them a try.
What did you want to know? Nice bunch of people. nm
nm
I am one of those nice helpful people (sm)
who work there but am just a worker bee...ain't management and don't ever wanna be management. I'd love to know what the lie was, just 'cause curiosity killed the Hayseed 
Nice people at Spheris
You are so right; however, with horrible unitelligible dictators and lousy sound quality, I could not make a living there. Also, too many inconsistencies and subjective QA-ing. When the dictator says duh x-ray, and you type the and get counted off because QA thnks it should be an or ptient's x-ray that gets under one's skin in a hurry.
They are nice. If you do something wrong, they tell you. That is their job, isn't? You people.
nm
Nice people but be aware....sm
they do not pay for spaces, even if they tell you they do. You need to definitely get this is writing (the spaces part). You will find your check short about 20% and you won't get the money either. Bad experience for me. Most people probably don't check their line counts. Maybe this has changed but I know others had this problem too (old posts here). Good luck.
Nice people, pay on the low side
I worked for them about 3 years ago. The managers were all very nice. They have an odd payscale which is based on your expereince, production and how much work your send to QA. And I thought the pay was a little low.
Hope I helped.
Trish
They are not nice people to deal with and
only a few of the chosen can get away with even making suggestions. The rest of us are called unhappy and just told to find another job. This starts at the top and falls all the way down the ladder in management. No one cares about you, you are just a number and you are not as important to them as the Indians. Their efforts to try to retain good MTs is just a facade, there is no truth to it. They would rather we all just left.
