I took the test too and thought it was ridiculous. They told me to come back in 6 months, which I never did.

thanks. I very much appreciate it. for now I'm looking for parttime to supplement my full time. Maybe I should look into it and see if anything has changed!
cobb transcription
They are a good company, good dictators, and Carole, the owner is wonderful.
Cobb experience
I concur - very good (non-national) company to work for as an IC. Pay was decent, always on time, and owner friendly and professional to work with. The only reason I left was for a career change; otherwise, I would have stayed there as long as possible.
Anyone with information on Cobb? Thank you. NM

Any info on these companies? Fenton, TRX, Metro (in Georgia), Cobb, etc
Comprehensive Healthcare Service, Keystrokes, MDI-MD, and TSSC. Would appreciate the following info.

Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?
Do you have a flexible schedule?
Weekend work mandatory?
Employee or IC?
Benefits?
Low or high volume ESLs?
Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?
Dialup accepted?
I work for MDI-MD and have worked part-time for Cobb in the past. sm
It has been about 3 years or so since I worked for Cobb Transcription in Georgia (very nice woman, by the way), so my info may be old, but I'll try to help.
Good dictation quality?
Yes for both MDI-MD and Cobb
Steady work?
MDI: For the most part, yes. There have been a few times, but you usually have enough secondary and tertiary accounts to make it through the dry times.
Cobb: I was doing clinic work -- do not recall any times without work.
What are the work types?
MDI-MD has a few radiology and clinic accounts (I think), but probably the majority of the accounts are acute care.
Cobb may have hospital accounts, but all I did with them was clinic work.
Good platform?
MDI uses Bayscribe -- very easy to use.
Cobb used Word.
Pay rate?
MDI pays better than any other company I have encountered.
Cobb's pay rate is kinda low, as I recall, and it was based on being paid by the character.
Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?
Yes for MDI ... as I mentioned above, Cobb paid by the character.
Do you have a flexible schedule?
Yes to both. MDI gives you a 24-hour turnaround time to do your work, and I think the same was true with Cobb.
Weekend work mandatory?
MDI: You are asked to work 2 weekends a month, I think. I pretty much work every weekend, so not sure about the official rules.
Cobb: No.
Employee or IC?
MDI: Statutory employee (they take out FICA, nothing else, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax)
Cobb: Was IC only
Benefits?
No for both
Low or high volume ESLs?
Probably vaies with the account -- probably average with MDI.
I don't recall any ESLs at Cobb.
Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?
MDI: You have a primary account and usually a secondary account -- pretty much the same docs.
Cobb: Yes.
Dialup accepted?
Yes to both, as far as I know. I have had cable so long, I do not recall.
Good luck with your job search. Hope this helps. If you have an offer from MDI, I'd take it -- it is a great place to work!
