If anyone knows of those companies which offer ortho, could you please email me privately if you don't want to post on the forum. Thanks.

Anyone know of companies that hire orthopedic transcriptionists..
I liked to find a company that has a great ortho account and needs help whether it be FT or PT, IC or employee, but it seems hard to find anyone that has any good ortho accounts.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
I know that they do have a really big orthopedic hospital as
a client. I really enjoy working there. The pay in not the highest I have ever heard of, but it is above average. The people are absolutely terrific to work with. I think they do hire part timers. Definitely worth checking out.
I worked in an orthopedic office
not that long ago that used Dictaphone and our servers would go down quite a bit. It seemed like at least once a week. So I think it's a Dictaphone problem. As far as the work load, I'm getting pretty disgusted. This is going on at least 3-4 weeks of low to no work. My first thought would be an overhire, but they are still hiring for new accounts - why don't they give some of those new accounts to the MTs that already work there who are out of work. Doesn't make sense to me. I've asked for backup accounts, and keep getting the answer that the work is low everywhere. Starting to worry.
FYI - the orthopedic account is mostly letters
Just an FYI -
Would this happened to be for an orthopedic transcription company? sm
This sounded very, very familiar to what happened to me just a little while back. They asked for SS# and address. But never did send me the information I requested. I sent an email back to them declining the position because I had to purchase equipment and then something kept telling me that this place was not what it was supposed to be...Just curious as if this is the same place...
Sorry that you had gotten your hopes up. MT is a good field but the hardest part is finding a DEPENDABLE employer....Very hard. I have been in this business for over 14 years. I started when I was 18. So, I know how frustrated you are, but don't give up. There are a FEW good ones left. Good luck.
Anyone else apply at ATS for an orthopedic MT position and get this bizarre,
obviously form letter that you did not have enough experience, even though you have over 15 years of MT experience, with over 10 of that doing orthopedics. I think it is pretty lame to send out an inappropriate form letter that is way off the mark. Tell me you've filled the position or just not interested but do NOT bother telling me that I do not have enough experience. Of course, I had to ask them, Just how much experience were you looking for, 10 years is not enough? Sometimes, this business scares me. I was just curious as to whether anyone else got this bizarre form letter when they applied.
My account has been slow this week due to an orthopedic conference...
but not completely out of work...ask your supervisor if you can have a backup account...there is plenty of work to be done..
I use Stedman's Orthopedic and Rehab Words book..
and Google is also a good research tool :)
Any companies with Rad accounts that use
TIA
Then be grateful you have good accounts, good MTs,
and a good system. Consider yourself lucky because most QA jobs aren't like that.
Adminstrative Assistants and VanBelkum. Good companies, good pay!

I agree about some companies getting the accounts
quite a bit of companies gobbling each other up. Whenever there is a management change, there is also employee turnover as procedures are changed. Sometimes it is a matter of MTs not working out with one company and moving on to a better fit at another company and sometimes it is because MTs are being asked to leave because they just don't fit where they chose to go. I don't agree totally with your statement about good for MTs as while there may be jobs being offered, the industry itself is offering less to the MTs they wish to employee/retain, which also leads to dissatisfaction and increased turnover. It's an ugly cycle IMHO.
Which companies out there have great ortho accounts??
I would like to find a company that has a lot of ortho..It's my first love. Any suggestions??
Can I ask who you worked for previously. It may have been on one of the accounts or companies I
worked for..When I went to work for that one and ended up making $9 an hour, I was so disappointed because I figured since I was a high producer at my other job and made big money plus I had experience and needed no training on the platform I was sure I would be doing well. I am more convinced than ever that they fix the line counts. They have to or there would not be the huge difference. Of note also was that the low paying one was the easiest. The account was a walk in the park so I really thought I'd make a great living as the other job was a lot of ESL etc. Boy, was I in for a shock.
What is the downside or upside to companies that have overflow accounts. nm
:
Pros and cons on companies with overflow accounts. nm
:
How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.
Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.
The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
Companies (not just MTSOs) have 90 days to put the money into 401k accounts. sm
It has to be done by the end of the 90 days. My husband's runs about 89 days and he is not an MT. He is a union electrician.
which companies pay fair line rate with designated accounts? nm
x
Are there any companies with accounts requiring just 24-hour turnarounds/no set schedules?nm

Good accounts. sm
They have both hospital and clinic/ERs. I have encountered very, very, very few ESLs, okay, only one that comes to mind actually. I do know they have a larger hospital account that has quite a few ESLs, as any hospital does these days. I'm not on that account to give more specifics. They have great accounts and are very flexible with your schedule and chosing your account.
My accounts are good
I have 2 accounts that keep me busy with both ASR and straight transcription. I have some ESL, but even the ESL dictators are pretty good.
I think you can get both good and bad accounts all over the US.
I have 2 west coast accounts. They both aren't too bad. In fact my hard west coast account is very comparible to my 2 east coast accounts (including my primary).
I think you can get both good and bad accounts all over the US.
I have 2 west coast accounts, and they are very similar to my 2 east coast accounts. In fact, my 1 west coast account seems easier than 1 of my east coast accounts :) I think it really just depends. I really enjoy all my accounts overall.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Looking for IC with 24-hour turnaround and good accounts....
Any recommendations?
Good luck. Are you on the Escription accounts?
I like it there. I've had my moments there, but I haven't found anything better out there so I'm staying for the long haul.
Good dictators end up on ASR so it can only get worse. My accounts are all picked over.
:
enjoy it there. good accounts. steady work.

Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm
I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned. I still find them to be the best for me. Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise).
I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work. As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there.
Good luck & I hope it works out for you.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
They really dont pay enough for having most ESL accounts. Hard to get a good line count
and then to only make 8 cpl. It really is not worth it. Chartscript is not productive in my opinion.
Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Is it good work ethic to ask to change accounts at natl company? Please SM
I work for a national company and overall I've been quite happy. However, they changed my primary account last fall, and I have been miserable since then. It is a teaching hospital, several hundred docs, tons of different rules about format, etc, that change almost daily, 80% ESL, and I am very unhappy with it and making less now than I have in the last 7 years I've been doing acute care transcription because I'm so slow on it. I get paid 8.5/line.
My question is, is it wrong to ask to change accounts? My quality is great, they are very happy with my work, and in fact have mentioned that many MTs have quit rather than do this account, and of course I realize someone has to do it. I'm so unhappy, yet I don't want to appear incompetent or a cherry picker, etc, if I were to ask for a change (which they would not have to do), and I would like to stay with this company if only I could find a way to be happy with the work, because it is a good place overall. Any thoughts on this? Thank you.
Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good
WHERE ARE THE GOOD COMPANIES??
All I see is negative! Where is the positive or are they the ones that keep quiet to keep their great jobs to themselves (believe me, I'd do the same thing!  ) ..... but THROW US A BONE, willya??
thanks!! 
Good companies?
Would appreciate suggestions for companies who pay for both spaces and headers with a decent platform. Wondering if there is such a thing anymore.
Good companies
So, should I assume Transhealth is the only company out there that pays for spaces, headers and has a good platform???
Any good companies out there that
do hire SEs? Also, is MQ the only company that uses DEP?
Good companies.....without...sm
Okay guys call me an idiot for not knowing that Medware has an India division! Now, I'll risk the flaming yet again.....Can you recommend companies who offer employee status without outsourcing to India?
Good health insurance coverage at a reasonable rate for single person, nice organized people to deal with, paid on time, and the sooner they could put me to work, the better!
Please feel free to email me privately. My address should be somewhere on this page!

Are there any GOOD companies out there willing to
hire people that aren't exactly newbies anymore, but don't have the 3, 5, or 10 years most companies are looking for? I have been working for about 16 months (SE) as an at home MT for a big national company, but would really like to go elsewhere, either as an SE or an IC. Any info would be appreciated!
Good companies for IC or SE? (sm)
I am looking for a company that will let me work to my best potential - that being working on the same account(s) with the same dictators (say less than 30) so that when I spend months creating macros and finally get up to making $25+ an hour, I don't get yanked from that account just to start the process all over. I can produce up to 400 lph and send almost nothing to QA when I am allowed to get familiar with an account(s)/dictators and then stay on that account. I have been with 5 companies in the last 6 years; same thing every time. No matter how good the company, I can't and won't work this way. I am very good at what i do, I just need to find my place. Six years experience in mostly multispecialty clinic with a couple years of acute care (no ops, but all other work types), QA scores above 99% (on familiar accounts), need a flexible schedule, and when I meet my line counts for the day, I want the option of deciding whethere I continue to work for the other 3-4 hours that day. Any ideas??? TIA
Any good companies out there?
xx
anyone know of any good MT companies
I am looking for a part-time position with a great company, large or small, that does clinic work...specifically ortho and family practice. Can you either post or send an e-mail w/the name of the company?
Thanks so much!!!!
Good companies.
Thanks!

I'm new to the board so I'm sure this has been listed before, but can anyone tell me what some good Transcription companies are? I'm interested in an IC position where I can work when and how much I want. I'm already an IC for a local company, but I need to supplement my income. I'm looking for a company that just has a good overall feel to it. Any help would be appreciated.
