They are hiring IC's for VR editing and also for transcription.  I am thinking of giving my hands a rest and doing editing.

Info is appreciated!

Comprehensive Healthcare Service, Keystrokes, MDI-MD, and TSSC.  Would appreciate the following info.

Good dictation quality?

Steady work?

What are the work types?

Good platform?

Pay rate?

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?

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!   

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 

Does anyone know any info about a company called Archivus?  Thank you.

Hi:

I just agreed verbally to sign on with e-Tranz and decided to look at the archives and did not like what I see. If anyone has any current info on what it is like to work for this company please email me off the board at Irishbunnylynn@yahoo.com.

Thanks

Has anyone heard of TTS company in New Hampshire.  If so, how are they at paying and work load??

Thanks

Has anyone any info on WNC (also known as Medical voice Techology Services)?  They have a job posted on the job board.  I couldn't locate any info in the Archives except another asking this same question back in 2004 and she didn't get an answer.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone might have some information about Niles-Lee & Associates Inc.  Thanks in advance. 

MC

Quick Silver Tranz, Inc. out of Phillipsburg, Kansas?

Just wondering what others thought about the ads that don't really give any company name or details....Do you feel safe sending them your resume/information?  Do you send a sanitized version of your resume, or do you just not bother with the ad? 

I see a couple a couple ads on the job board now that could fit my needs, but I'm reluctant because of the no info thing.  

Is anybody familar with Superscript Medical Transcription?  Rate of pay, fair regarding lines, macros, templates, spaces, etc?  Do they run out of work frequently, etc?

Has anyone ever worked for OSI Transcription?  If so, are they decent?  I just did the online transcription test and am awaiting their answer. I would hate to give up my local jobs for this one and find out they are not a decent company.

Thanks,

Lynn

Saw their post on MT daily and was wondering how they are to work for.

Thanks!
