Before I apply, I have a few questions. I have better results asking here than the companies. sm
Posted By: MOMT on 2007-09-30
In Reply to: They only have the 1 Rad account. - what I know
I do know to take it all with a grain of salt. Here are my questions:
Do they send work offshore?
IC or employee?
Line rate range for radiology?
Is there a lot of work.
Only one rad account worries me, especially as I heard that they are competing for this account with a large company. I cannot find out who that company is though, only that they are large. The person I know at the hospital that I asked did not have any name except QT, but she said that the other company is very strong and may end up with it.
This is so unsettling. I am totally confused and just wish things would stay the same :) Sigh.

Just because you apply to one of the companies
doesn't mean you will get hired. KS makes sure that MTs have all the work they want before they hire new MTs. I only have one account and could work on it 24/7 and still not run out of work. I know that KS has signed contracts on 2 large accounts to start very soon and are in talks with 3 other accounts, plus there are some new accounts that have needed more MTs than anticipated.
I can't speak for every account, but I know the work is available and you can get backup accounts if you need them.
I have 2 companies on my list to apply to if
MQ sinks and Medware is one of them! Thanks for the info!
I just took their test...I also have 2 other companies I'm going to apply
to...thanks for the info!
MQ refugees apply and at all companies.

Apply directly to companies. Call them. sm
NEVER post your resume and personal info on the internet.
5 questions about 5 companies.
Keystrokes, MDI-MD, Encompass, Diskriter and Webmedx. 1) What insurance carrier to they use for medical (no further details needed)? 2) Platform? 3) Fair line count? 4) Minimum line count/rate? 5) Run out of work?
Questions regarding 2 companies
Need info regarding Phoenix Medcom pros and cons, platform, etc. Also anyone familiar with Transcription, Technology and Support? Pros and cons, pllease. Thank you.
Questions about MDI - 1st are there 2 companies (sm)
with that name and is the one that merged with Transcend the same one I saw postings lately about low to no work for their MTs?
They are probably only given the results
to discuss. You would need to contact your supervisor for clarification.
Different results
People are usually pretty darned interested when I bring it up.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
Exactly! And I did request results...
of my testing or a more definitive answer and received no reply. I learn new things every day--sometimes things that I have been doing incorrectly. If it was, indeed, a timed test...I was screwed because I checked EVERYTHING. I have even submitted a copy of what I typed (Yes, I copied and pasted to a Word document) to my current supervisor and asked her to point out my errors. She found none and I feel better:)
I had the same results. I even did a search for the
entire state of Florida and absolutely nothing returned. To me it is very concerning that they do not list a website or a phone number.
Waiting for test results...
Their base pay for ER work was 8 cents plus 1/2 cents for 2nd shift I think, 1 cents for weekends, something like that. I know I was banking on 8-1/2 for ER work.
Never notified about test results
It took forever to get the testing materials through the mail, and the instructions that came with it had several typo's! Never received test results. When I asked via email about the test, they said that person had been out of town and would get with me in a few days - that was in January. Needless to say I'm not terribly impressed...
I am pretty sure that they will send the test results
to you if you ask. I had one stop me at the second section of a test. When I asked what I did wrong, they were more than happy to send me a copy of it. The proof for me was in seeing what happened......
No, you're in the year 2008, where the results of
most kids being raised in daycare with 2 parents working 24/7 are showing. Kids are a mess and the American family is a total mess, divorce rates 50%, our country going down the tubes, and YES a lot of it has to do with kids being left on their own while mommy works and goes to school, etc. I don't know the answer, but for sure the results being disastrous are evident all around you. I stayed home with mine and am more than pleased with the results. Just because children survive and grow into adults does not mean that they are healthy and happy adults.
Very disturbing research results on Transcend
It seems Transcend is very busy acquiring MTSOs and not bashful about their future goals. Please read what I copied from a recent article when they acquired TRS(March 2009). Between VR and offshoring, I truly do not see how much work will be left.
“We are excited to welcome TRS to the Transcend team,” stated Transcend CEO Larry Gerdes. “We
believe their commitment to their customers and employees makes them an excellent fit for Transcend.
TRS has taken a leadership role in our industry through its involvement with industry associations like the
Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and the Medical Transcription Industry
Association (MTIA). We look forward to continuing to play an important industry role with their
involvement. TRS provides services on several different platforms. We believe that over the next year,
35% - 50% of the business can be migrated to our BeyondTXT platform, which allows us to leverage our
speech recognition technology to improve productivity, enhance quality and drive faster turnaround times.
We look forward to working together as we integrate our operations over the next several months.”
“We believe our merger with Transcend is a positive step into the future for our customers and
employees,” stated TRS CEO Bob Harvey. “Transcend has an un-paralleled reputation for excellent
service. This gives our customers confidence that our teams will now be supported by the additional
resources of the top-ranked firm in the industry. For the sake of our employees, it was important to me to
merge with a company that has a strong commitment to providing the best work environment in the
medical transcription field, and I know we have found that in Transcend. ”
“Transcend is very interested in the work TRS is doing with overseas transcription training in places like
Barbados,” stated Transcend COO Sue McGrogan. “Although their training institute is not part of this
transaction, Transcend sees real opportunity to use this resource and others to continue to grow our
offshore capacity. Transcend is committed to remaining a predominately domestic transcription provider,
but we will continue to expand our offshore resources as well. We expect that the percentage of work
processed offshore could increase from about 20% today to perhaps 35%-40% in the future. This helps us
staff nights and weekends and gives us added flexibility as we grow. We would never replace a domestic
transcriptionist in the process. In fact, we plan to continue expanding our domestic workforce for years to
come. We hope that TRS Institute can become an offshore partner in the near future.”

Along the same lines, has anyone ever left TH and gone back with good results?

Any info on WriteNow Transcription? Did a search, but no results.
Thanks so much.
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
APPLY ...
1) Explain what you need in schedule; I'm sure you'll get it.
2) IF it is brought up, explain. I'm sure you'll be fine with that!
why don't YOU apply with OSI?
nm
Please don't apply because ...sm
you can't even spell why ruin a good thing for the rest of us? As far as ads being posted well duh - the company is growing with large accounts being added continuously. Nothing wrong with new business!!!
I would apply for another job
One that gets good comments AND takes out taxes :-)
BTW, that's what I did and start the first of the year, couldn't be happier!
Don't apply there then, what can I tell you.
xx
Again if that is so, why would you need to apply at DSG?
You come on here knocking them down for not responding to your holey (misspelled on purpose) self.
Why do I need to apply? No, I don't need
for any amount of money.
Please - where did you apply?
Please, where did you apply? Yes, I do have a letter of recommendation from her. I've got 3 kids to support on my own, and I feel so discouraged.
How do I apply?
Do they have a website? Thanks!
MW MTS, apply to
TransTech..they are growing and wonderful to work for, and do not outsource to India.
Does that apply to ICs too?
nm
Thanks! I will apply and see what happens. NM
Did you apply for the
prn ad?
Apply at TT
with TT112
I always look, never apply.
But there are still a lot of hits and I imagine a lot of serious lookers from the posts here.
So how do you apply at MDI?
I visited their website but saw no place to apply. How do I go about doing this?
Did anyone apply for the job (sm)
Did anyone apply for the job that was on the job seeker's board with CLK transcription, the nonmedical transcriptionist? If so, just wondering if anyone has heard back from them. I sent my resume in, but have not heard anything yet.
thanks in advance!
Where did you apply? sm
Do you just send cover letter/resume through contact information. There is no actual place to apply at on the web site. Thanks!
How do you apply?
How do you apply to MDI-MD? I didn't see a link on their site.
All you can do is apply and see what happens!!!
nm
Why not apply for both and see what happens?
How to apply at MDI-MD
Can anyone tell me how I go about submitting an application/resume with MDI-MD? They don't seem to have a link on their website, unless I have the wrong one! Thanks very much.
Would anyone apply here? sm
Just out of curiousity, how many of you on this board right now would apply for this job? The pay is less than minimum wage, they supply no equipment and looks like you may as well make yourself available 7 days a week. I am serious here, is anyone that is looking going to apply here?
We have another position open. This is an IC position transcribing for a few acute care hospitals, as well as a few specialty clinics. The position is part-time, requring M-F (evenings only) and Sat and Sun (hours flexible).
All candidates must posess at least 2 years of acute care experience (not counting schooling).
Other requirements are as follows:
High speed internet connection.
Universal foot pedal.
Windows 2000 or XP (NO Vista).
Microsoft Word 2000 or greater (no Word Pad).
MT U.S. based.
MT easily reached by phone or email.
We area reliable company that offers direct deposit. Pay starts at .07 cents per 65 character line including spaces. Raise will be given when MT is on their own needing minimal QA.
I think I will apply
I have not had steady work since Thanksgiving and it sounds like they have work, think I will apply. I hope they have employee positions. Kim.
Ever apply for a job and get a
ticket number back? I guess they will call when they get to my ticket number. That doesn't sound like a shortage of MTs to me.
All you can do is ask when you apply.
x
That could apply to just about anyone,
I feel the same way. If you want me to spend hours proof-reading and looking up the addresses of obscure doctors in the Middle-of-Nowhere, USA, then give that 3 cpl you're paying the so-called 'Editors' (and I use the term extremely loosely!), and give it to ME. Then I'll do all that demographic detail crap.
No, I was going to apply and I know last sm
week people were saying it might be bad? Just wondering before I test, that's all. I can't read it because I don't work there.
what you are saying does not apply in these
terrible times. How can you say, 'if you don't like it in 1 company, quit and look for a better company. They are all equal, more or less and jobs are scarce.
It is not proven yet that using the shortcuts brings the speed up. Not for everybody, some people are just 'mouse people' and prefer to continue to work with the mouse. Using the shortcuts is optional and pitting a lot of stress on only 3-4 fingers hitting constantly the Ctrl- and Alt- button in combination with others.
Also, the poster who said that editing isn't even editing anymore, meant, and she is right, that editing has often gone so bad that it is often better to delete the whole document and type it up anew. And this for the VR rate that is 50% of the straight rate.
I don't think I can apply though
cuz I don't have a the foot PEDDLE they require in the ad;-) Good gravy, they should have QA for their ads. Guess recruiters don't have to understand the industry at all anymore. But bet they get paid more than MTs at this CPL.
