In Reply to: clinic mt - NDMT
I only have 5 years of experience, but I haven't been offered anywhere near 9 cpl for clinic. I would greatly appreciate it. Granted, not looking to switch jobs any time soon, but wouldn't mind knowing where to look in the future if need be.

But if you worked for a company that hired
good quality MTs in the first place, you would not have so many 100% QAs, right? Actually..I think I work in the same place : ( lol
I was just hired by a company who uses DVI with MS word and I need sm
medical spell check software. Any suggestions?
I was hired by a company 2 months ago.
They downloaded everything they needed on my computer, sent me pedals and now just waiting for training. My question is this - How long does this normally take. I have never had to wait this long to get started (not even with Keystrokes). I have sent several emails and have called the office several times and am told the same thing ---- still waiting on the hospital, we are extremely busy, etc.
I'm seriously considering sending their pedals back to them and chalking it up but I would like to know your thoughts on how you would (have) handle this. TIA
RE: E-mail me - I think I might have a company for you

What would you think if your company sent out an e-mail asking for - sm
Everyone who solicits new clients can get a reward of either $50 or $100, I think depending upon whether they actually get a sale of accounts brought in or just a lead. So for as much as a whopping $100 I am going to get my employer a client and turn that info over to them? Uh, I think I might just get that client for myself and keep ALL the money!
Hired company, but sale did not take place, right ? n/m

Not when I was hired (October). Great company. :-) nm
Does anyone what national company has been hired to handle...
ProHealth Care of Wisconsin hospitals. I heard that they have now changed to a national company to do all of their work for all their facilities.

Yes, please e-mail me. It's a good company.
It is not in Georgia though. The parent company, Transcend, is in Georgia. MDI is located in Florida.
Where did you read that? A company e-mail?

Was hired for a company that promised lots of work.
do they do this? I checked the archives on this company before accepting the position and although there were similar complaints along with disorganization and some others I decided to give it a try. In retrospect I should have listened to those posts. I'm out of work for the 4th time now, there's no communication. I don't know if my first clue something was amiss was the recruiter with her kids screaming in the background during the interview or the vague answers to questions I had clearing indicating there no transcription experience on her end. Why do companies do this. I have bills to pay and I always, always address this situation - is there enough work, do you run out of work often. I know there are times when work may be low but this consistently happening.
wondering if you would e-mail me the name of the company you're with and TIA. nm

Would a KS lead please mail me? I'm very interested in the company. Thanks! nm

I think I got that same e-mail (well-respected company to boot). I am

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
Several months ago a company called Charts in Time (CIT) hired some MTs off here. Just wondering how
it turned out for those MTs as I turned it down and wondered if I should have taken the job. Thanks.
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

My company rocks. Got an E-mail today from our manager about cherry picking (sm)
stating they noticed jobs were getting cancelled once and sometimes twice by same person and that the more difficult dictators were getting picked over. They stated it would not be tolerated and cherry pickers would be addressed and possibly terminated.
I know this is a huge undertaking and may not always get 100% done, but at least they are aware and taking a stand. Perhaps the guilty people will grow up and take the time to learn those dictators now. We all know that some of those horrible ESL say virtually the same thing over and over.
I am just happy that they, once again, prove they are trying to look out for the MTs and MEs and see that we are all treated fairly and equally. I have been very happy with Webmedx up to this point and now even more so.
All the years I worked for MQ, they knew it happened and I don't think made any attempt to address it. At WMX at least they must be monitoring it or they wouldn't know the same person kicked the same job back more than once.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the
nm
I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)
you could manually type it in and resend me the info. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
I was hired by them...sm
I would stay away. I got the job and never started with them. They want to charge rent for the footpedal. When I asked about buying it, they said it costs $500. When I received the pedal, it was no different than the $30 ones (seen on internet) that all the other services just give out and then toss when they break. I felt like I was going to be ripped off.
Thank you. When I got hired on, I was
so excited. A good friend of mine had suggested to me to try to get on.
When I got hired and told her, she asked what I was getting for a base rate. She works out of the same "region". She didn't believe me so I showed her my paperwork. I had no idea what they were/are paying anyone else. She gets 8.75 cpl. She wasn't too happy...but with MQ, not with me. It's not my fault what the game is with their pay.
I may not always have good line counts. I may get shoved around to another account or several more and my lines will drop. I hope not. I'm hoping to stay where I am but if not, then I will have to work harder. That's just the name of the game, well to me at least.
I responded to someone else in this same thread somewhere that when I left the hospital, they were doing the same crappy thing with pay. When I hired in, it was all the same "start pay". Then later they decided to change the payscale according to years of experience, even for starting. So, all the new hires -- even with less experience than I -- were making sometimes THREE DOLLARS an hour more than I was. And they didn't have to do Op Notes because they didn't know how. I was the ONLY Transcriptionist who could work on every software package they had and do every single worktype, including pathology and EP lab, etc., that they had. Really irked me. I begged and begged and tried to negotiate an "adjustment" in my pay but they always had an excuse as to why they couldn't. I quit and started with MQ.
I know that it is impossible for any company or hospital to make ALL employees happy but it sure seems like they would want to have a little more consistency in what they offer. I worked for a clinic not that long ago that negotiated your hourly wage. I told them what I thought was a high hourly (for this region and for the simple work it was) and they hemhawed around about it but gave it to me. A month later, a young 'un who was really good but still not as fast or experienced came on board with us. She told me she had been hired on for a rate that was $4 more than I. I thought she was trying to upset everyone but then she showed us her check stub...I nearly fainted. I was getting $12 and she was getting $16.
Right now, I'm happy to be here. That tune may change! LOLOLOL I hope not but it might!
Anyway, thank you for the NICE post.
LOL! I'm not the OP. I'm trying to get hired!
Sounds great, doesn't she? 
I think I'm hired...sm
I made it through what I think is the last process of being hired; interviewing with the owner. There are so many things about the company that I like, and I really want the job. For that reason, I may have been a little overzealous with the owner, but his last words were "you'll be hearing from us". I think that's probably a good sign, right?
I like the fact that they assign one doctor (with option to cross-train). You are required to type 1000 lines a day (I don't think that should be hard with the same doctor). They say you can set your own hours, but work must be done within 24 hours, and you must work the hours you set. I had a previous job that allowed cherry-picking, so I think that won't be a problem here.
Dental/health is the most affordable I've seen yet.
You accrue one day a month for time off. It's all clinic work, so no weekends or holidays unless you want to.
The best part was that the recruiter I talked to is also a Transcriptionist for them, and she's been there for quite a few years. She shared alot of information that a transcriptionist would want to know. Most times, you don't find out that kind of information until you're already into the job.
The process was very quick. I sent my test back on Saturday, interviewed with recruiter and the owner on Thursday. The best part was all this is done by e-mail and telephone!
I think they are a very organized company.
I just hired on with them. SM
They pay very well, have absolutely fantastic benefits, and very generous PTO and great insurance at a reasonable cost. In these days, you couldn't ask for more. Everyone I have talked to so far has been wonderful. I am looking forward to working for them.
I was just hired there and was
was told the hourly job is only for graveyard shift,
If you were hired before Nov 1
you will get a productive incentive, if you were hired after Nov 1, nothing. That is what my hiring coordinator told me. No shift diff, no incentive, but they raised their line rates. I am new, but this is what I was told when I was hired. A word of warning, forget the any help if you have IT problems for hours or even a day. You have to e mail them and wait for a response.
I just got hired by them.....sm
but haven't started working yet. I'm still waiting for my paperwork, foot pedal, software, etc. From what I read, they seem to be a great company to work for. They hire employee status only, no ICs. I believe there is an incentive program for full time (I'll be working part time, so I'm not exactly sure of what it is). They also seem to be flexible with hours worked (no strict hours or punching in, but it sounds like you have a window of time to get your work done). I'm sure the recruiter can give you more information. The pay is pretty decent also.
Good luck!
I was just hired as an
Would love to email and keep in touch, even tho you're doing Onc.. I have done that in the past as well. Let me know.
You must have just been hired.
v
You can always get hired at OSi
I was hired with them and it took them
3 months to get back with me about getting going with them. Terrible company with no organizational skills whatsoever!!
We had already been hired
We are not waiting to hear back after testing. We already received job offers and then...nothing. They may be a great company to work for...I guess I'll never know because I accepted another job.
I was just hired there.....
if you go to transcriptionresource.com they have some info there on Probity. They are paying for my internet connection, giving me flexibility in scheduling, 40 hours of vacation after 90 days, ability to make up time if I have to rather than use pto, pay is a little over 8 cpl, paid holidays (have to work thanksgiving or x-mas, 4 hours, then get the other one completely off). Currently I believe they are looking for cardiology MTs and acute care. Seems like a nice group of people, I have worked with some of them, and I am excited about it. I'd leave you my email, but not allowed to post it. Any specific questions and I will check the board again.
Where were you hired? sm
Just curious. Hope that you're making more than 2-3 cpl for editing. The line counts are fair, voice quality is good. It takes some time to get used to, some I've read like it, some don't. Some like editing, some straight typing. I happen to love it and I prefer the editing. You'll love the platform. Good luck to you !
She did me exactly the same - actually hired me,
I think, then left me hanging. I didn't hear another word so accepted with another company. Then she called me a few weeks later and said she had told me it would be a couple of weeks, but she had not. She was very nice the first time; not as much so when she learned I would not be working there.
also hired
I have also been hired to work for them and am grateful for the opportunity. I think it will be a challenge, but I never expected MT to be a piece of cake. Everyone who I have come into contact with there has been nothing short of wonderful.
Why do you think you were hired?
??
I was just hired as well.
I'm crossing my fingers that it goes well. I'm tired of job hopping. 
Just got hired on....
I just got hired on by KS and I am not having to pay for anything. I had the second phone line and am using a C-phone (which I had) for my account with them. There was never any mention that you had to pay for anything when they interviewed me. I actually start Wed. and am looking forward to it. The lead Transcriptionist I am working with seems super nice. So all I have to say so far about them is great. I'll keep you posted.
They have over hired
I have been out of work off and on for last couple weeks -- a month ago we had mandatory OT every day. It is getting frustrating.
I was hired for
the job I work on and I know from having worked on this 1 particular place so long, the work does not run out. I was not told I would have to cross train NEVER and I expected to work on what I am used to and like. I think wrong for others to come and gobble up the work I was set up to do because they RUN out. Got IMd this morning from person over my acct and aware of problem and working on it today they say.
They have over-hired!!!!
Well, every time they get a new account, they OVERHIRE. They look good to the client and the employees scramble for work and struggle like crazy with all the different accounts and bring their averages down and QA scores because they're working on so many different accounts. If I could stay on my one account without 500 other people working on it, I would be happy, but no, they want each report typed as soon as it is dictated. My 8-hour day turns into an all day thing, peeking in at odd hours hoping to get a little work. Ridiculous, and not really good for morale. I hate to change careers, but I do see it coming.
hired just for ER
you were hired just for ER? not all hospital work types?
When MT hired on,
Huh?
I was hired the day after
the ad was placed. So far, I love it. The platform is great. The people are very nice and the dictators are good.
When I hired on....
last March the minimum line requirement I was told was 1000 lines a day. It could be account specific like the OP said, though.
Yes, I was hired in mid-Dec (sm)
and was told this, and was started at the lower rate with the understanding that any raise would come after 90 days and evaluation.
