Transtech rumor mill
Just sending this to help clear TT's name as I love working for them. Big boss just sent out an e-mail clearing up this entire mess. People need to think about the potential damage they do before jumping on this board with mass hysteria with very few facts. They damage TT's reputation and possibly keep other great MTs in the midst of trying to make a balanced decision away from TT because of misinformation.
TT does not outsource nor is anyone taking over the company. Sounds like the new company who will be providing benefits/payroll/insurance sent out the wrong/incorrect material, and as soon as TT mangement realized what was going on, they immediately jumped on the situation. We don't live in a perfect world. People do make mistakes ... which is one of the reasons I love working for TT. If I do make a mistake, they don't me like I am the biggest moron on Earth. They treat me with respect. They understand I am human. When a situation arises like this, why can't we, as a group, treat them with respect until the facts are clarified and not jump to outrageous conclusions. 
Webmedx created rumor mill
I am aware of Webmedx acquiring new accounts. And I will attend the meeting so I can hear how Webmedx cares about its employees because they make it what it is. Any my quality is what I say, and I have never missed getting my linecount until recently when there is no work available to do to meet my linecount. I have worked endless hours, overtime, stat calls on unscheduled time. I have contacted my STM and discussed this on several occasions.
I am not posting unreal fears. These are realities. The rumor mill has been created by Webmedx and their lack of communication with their employees.
I agree. Without facts, you're all just stirring the rumor mill. sm
If you really have concerns, ask someone. Point blank, ask L if there is any need for concern! I truly, truly do not believe QT would ever outsource their work! I have never been happier with QT and I intend to stay, so if you want to leave, go ahead; more work for me!!!
HS bought out by Spheris
I was working for Healthscribe when Spheris bought them out; I have to say that I have had nothing but a positive experience with them thus far. We don't seem to be micromanaged; quite the contrary. I can get up and walk around to stretch my legs and at times am gone for 20 minutes or so and no one calls me or e-mails me. Communication is wonderful from my supervisor on up to management. The only downside is that they are so short-staffed that there is mandatory overtime for the radiology accounts so if you want to make $$$, this would be the place to go. Hope this is helpful. 
With Vianetta being bought by Spheris, what happens to companies
that use Vianetta (like JLG)?
Spheris does what? I've just got done testing for MD-IT. I heard they bought out MediVoxx in Lo
 nm
Got a news alert today that Spheris bought Vianeta company. nm

Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

Rumor has it...
Baltimore. Or Colorado. Just rumors, tho. Praying not AMHERST....ugh.
Not just a rumor
It is an absolute fact that they are outsourcing. There was no DD deposit issue just a money issue, another fact. Everyone can take from this what they want, believe or don't, but just remember that when you all are sitting without a paycheck or work, you were warned.
Who's out? What's the rumor?

Rumor - - yes
I am the supervisor of the Transcription Department, and I have only heard rumors! LOL! The administration likes to stick their noses in and make decisions regarding things they no nothing about, and they always mess things up - - TERRIBLY!
They now have our psychotherapists typing their own narrative notes into Ecet, and today they started typing their own treatment plan updates in a program that was just purchased (I knew nothing about it). We now outsource our initial diagnostic assessments to Transcription Connection, Inc. We are still transcribing the doctors narratives and psychiatric assessments. However, I think they will find a way to get these done elsewhere as well. One of the docs told me that in a staffing meeting they were told to make sure they proofed their work well because they were looking to start sending everything to a service, and get rid of in-house.
They do not want to say anything definite to me yet, as they still need the 4 transcriptionists they have (including myself). When they no longer need us, we will be hitting the door I am afraid. I am preparing though. I have been job searching, and I have taken all of my PTO due to surgery, etc. They are not going to take me for anything if I can help it.
I came across by mistake an e-mail path my supervisor sent to TCI, stating that if she was happy with their work they would be getting all of it. I was livid and confronted my supervisor. She lied of course and said that she had to tell the service this to get the line count pricing down. I told her that either way this was very, very unethical, that one of us, either myself or the service, were being lied to.
I am bidding my time. I am not walking out. I am going to ride it out to the end. I want to be able to get unemployment, etc. As I said, I have been with this company for going on 15 years. I have been very dedicated to this company all of these years and they are just going to crap on me. Nothing new in this day and age. Corporate America is out for themselves and no one else. It is all money.
This is probably a rumor about OSI
I am an ex-employee of OSi and did not care for some things there but I believe this is a rumor. This does not sound like something MB would do.
is this a rumor?

It's not rumor...
There are plenty of posters who say they have friends that work at certain companies and offer feedback.
If it takes 3 weeks to get up to par, that's quite a long time.
What I stated above is not false. No one needs to lie about a company. I got an e-mail saying stay away from transportal they are horrible people to work for and load you up after they've sifted through the files all day.
Maybe there are different accounts and different sups or whatever, I'm just passing on what I was told from an MT friend I trust.
The girl told me they've done nothing but hassle her and she only made a little bit of money.
The moderators say to take everything with a grain of salt. Apply away, and then come back and tell us what you think. 
Rumor is they are up for sale
but I have not heard anything more about that.
you said it exactly, rumor. that surrounds KS.
s
Do not start rumor. (SM)
If you have information, send it to the Administrator or myself and let us verify.
Otherwise, state it is YOUR opinion only.

Rumor? you mean no one has told you yet?

This is rumor. Nothing has been decided yet. sm
We are still getting final numbers from 2 different insurance companies. In the past, we have not qualified for a large group policy at a decent rate because of lack of participation. All of the big insurance companies want 50% of the employees to take the insurance and we did not have that in the past. It does look good this time though. We are hoping that the rates come back low but nothing is definite at this point.
Whoever spread that rumor
I've been paranoid ever since the pay cut rumors post - thanks, rumormonger for spreading needless misery!
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating.
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!
You must be a riot at the laundromat! Yackety Yack! 
Not rumor. I know of 3 accounts the last 3 months. sm
I was on two of them and called the hospitals to ask. The last one might be the last straw for me.
It is not rumor - they are! Some accounts want NO OFFSHORING!
It has become apparent that QT is offshoring; hence, very poor quality and the account has noticed!
Good luck in whatever you do!
No truth to the buyout rumor. It took them 3 wks to get
s
It's no rumor there is not enough work. That is a fact.
The rumor I heard was that a person with cancer
worked at MQ and got fired for not meeting line counts due to chemo. Do you think the company would verify?
Stop spreading unsubstantiated rumor.
Either show the document or stop this. I'm going to ask the moderator to look at your post. If you've information to show, put the link up so we can all verify it. Otherwise, stop speculating and causing problems.
You could not be more wrong. Besides, rumor is she sold the company today. nm
Not sure who it was to, but I heard she is somewhere signing papers. Hope not MQ. Shame that a good company is giving in to the $$$.
I highly doubt that. This is obviously a rumor. She is much too busy to bother. nm

Losing 1 large hospital today. Not rumor, fact.
It is on the Eastern Seaboard and low ESL.
May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
What I just bought
Go to stedmans.com and get the AAMT Book of Style and also the Stedman's Spellchecker CD-ROM. They will bill you for these, and you will be happy that you bought them! You will also love working at home if you can pace yourself and refuse to be distracted, especially with the price of gasoline as it is.
Is all of this because when MQ bought YOG SM
they continued to pay the MT's what they were receiving at YOG, which was more than MT's at MQ made? Now everyone will be making the same amount or less?
I don't work for MQ, so I don't know, this is just what I gathered talking to friends.
They were bought out by MQ. NM

This is the co that was bought by the guy from ddi
that left when MQ bought them
Well, I bought one
and got the reimbursement. I work at home, but I still drive.
Bought it new. It is an HP.
I was with the co they bought and we had sm
a nice situation. Here comes the CEO promising us we were going to know every day how much we're valued, how important we are. Not so. For the first 6 months it was okay, hard to get used to all the management we suddenly had, but then things started going downhill. Then the push with the VR. Seems to me that most of our work is going to be VR work and they're probably aware they pay more than the other companies - so it will not surprise me at all if they take that away now.
I hate these town hall calls, They never contain anything good for the people who are doing the grunt work.
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I believe Transcend bought MDI?

Duh, they bought Heartland...

When we bought our van last year,
But the cost was $10,000 higher than the Toyota. We're not talking a small amount here - $10,000 difference (more if we would have added the extras to the Dodge, that were standard on the Toyota). As soon as the prices of the American cars start coming down, people will buy them. Right now - it's more expensive to buy American, with worse quality and no standard features - everything is extra. Very disappointing and COSTLY.
Keystrokes BOUGHT an...
According to my dictionary transcriber is a person. It only takes a second to look it up.
Do you think that MDI is the same since they were bought by Transcend? sm
I have thought of going back (left a few years ago and took a few years off after having twins nine months after another baby) but I am worried about that. I have a friend who works there and she is complaining a lot, but she tends to be a complainer so I am not sure what to do.
I also was on clinic notes and prefer radiology. Maybe they are doing more rad. I do remember seeing that they were paying a sign-on bonus.
I am just looking for some answers before I make the wrong move.
SPI bought CyMed....US MTs look out....
They will tell you not to worry.....all the while transitioning your job to an MT in India or Manila. Get out while you can!
Is Accuscribe still out there or have they been bought out? nm
