Check with Radiologix. They had an ad running for MT, pay well with great benefits.
If you check around, there are many other facilities hiring in-house if that is what you prefer. Some are hiring at-home employees also with a better setup than what you describe.
Pick yourself up! Don't let it get you down. Life can be much much worse.
Really, if you were in a room full of people and everyone threw their problems into the middle of the floor, you will see you really have no problems at all!
Good luck to you!

Depending on where you live (sm)
this could be a very good position for you. The people I used to supervise (pathology transcriptionists in-house) made about $15-19 per hour depending on how long they had been there. This is in Southern California, though, where employers will pay a little more when transcriptionists are scarce.
depending on what state you live in - sm
you could possibly be hired by another hospital IN THE STATE you are in and go to work at home, or you may be considered for a position at Diskriter that is hiring for a Florida hospital, but again, it depends on what state you live in. The Florida hospital can hire from about 7 other states, but if your state is not one of them, then you are out of luck.
Not so, depending where you live...100,000 is not that much money.

It's all relative. Depending on where you live, that might not even pay for an apartment. nm

I don't know where you live but where I live foreclosures are rising and there are no jobs -- non
I worried about my employer for part of the winter as my accounts grew sparse. I had plan to switch to being an employee with benefits but dared not make the switch in this economy (this was last year this time, got it?)
I figured keeping my seniority was worth whatever security it afforded.
My accounts have rebounded some and I can pay my bills.
By economizing seriously, I have paid off my credit card and put some money aside, just in case. I'm breathing easier, thanks.
So, all in all, I'm not complaining. This last winter was brutal, but I had a job and I paid my bills. When employment rebounds and/or national health goes into effect, people will go to the doctor again and we will be busy.
My part of the world is like a ghost town -- everyone who could left to find work in the city -- many apparently leaving their homes to the banks. Several houses in my vicinity have been on the market more than 4 years.
Forgive me my loyalty ... it pays the bills.
What does yelling at the rest of us do for you?
I take it they are two different facilities? :)

From above: they are giving you. I bet facilities are

Actually, I have heard of facilities
Okay, my apologies if I thought you were biting my head off. I'm so used to the negativity that usually runs rampant on these boards that (without my usual pot of coffee to start my morning), I thought you were discrediting my concerns. Again, my apologies :-).
Back on topic, I have recently heard that facilities now do push every dictator through onto VR, no matter how horrible they are (I guess they figure it's the MTs problem, as usual).
There are very odd things going on at MDI-MD, and with the new offshoring, etc., it makes sense that they would pull back the ones too difficult for the ILPs to understand and pass those on to the American MTs.
But I seriously would like some opinions on why work is disappearing for 3-4 days, then reappearing for transcription. The ONLY thing I can think of is this, too, is work that was routed to the ILPs but it was close to falling (or already had fallen) out of TAT and they needed the American MTs to pull it back in line. Like I said, I've been on this account for more than a year and this NEVER has happened, EVER. The work was somewhere...the question is, where?
IMO, I think the lack of work, the only remaining transcription being the dregs of the dictators, and work suddenly appearing (and large volumes of it) 3-4 days after it was dictated just all points to offshoring in progress.
Any thoughts on that?
And, yes, BTW, like you I do VR and love it. I think Escription is just about the greatest thing since sliced bread, lol!
Most doctors and facilities have never heard of . . .
CMT, or the AAMT. Although they (AAMT) want to you to believe it matters, the CMT designation isn't really an important factor in the real working MT world. Quality is what matters to the healthcare providers with which I work, and unfortunately having CMT after one's name doesn't guarantee that.
The AAMT also is pushing for mandatory certification. That will never happen. I predict the AAMT will go broke within a couple years.
The bottom line is to do quality work. That will keep an MT working and in demand.
From what I know the three hospitals are actually one big account with three facilities and then
the fourth is a cancer center. I have worked at Transtech for almost two years and it's the best job I've ever had. I think you will have a primary account and then a backup. I don't know of anyone here who has more than that.
Most facilities don't know their work is offshored
the MT dept. head knows about it and nobody else. That's pretty evil. Hadn't thought about that.
Facilities have to have employees vote
on whether to accept a union or not at their place of employment or not. If the majority of employees vote no, then a union does not go into that specific facility.
All those facilities amount to 1127 sm
actual beds (the size of 1 large teaching hospital), clinic work, a rehab center with 40 beds and an imaging center.
The list of facilities sounds impressive, but does not amount to the number of accounts we have lost and will lose over the next few months.
The way W overhires, this account will be like all others, everyone fighting for some work.
Um, some facilities are getting back huge mistakes!
Depends where you work. If you have access to all reports, try looking up some that have gone to the facilities. Where I work, it is frightening!!!! ; 0
They will outsource and find out facilities are willing to accept
p
The suits and facilities often control dictation, not
x
Some facilities or hospitals keep their own servers in-house sm
to store their medical records. eScription is a software program used to access those files.
It all depends on how each client handles their contracts with eScription. Not every client or hospital is the same.
Big facilities contract out MT through administration. Drs have no say, they dont pay the bill.
:+
We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
Our only hope lies in the facilities staffing MTs direct. SM
Win/win. They save a ton even if they pay us more per line which in turn puts us back in the bladk. We get affordable health coverage and labor laws.
SIMPLE AS THAT
Could you be confusing "using the facilities own MTs" with "sending to India" mayhaps?

It depends on where you live. If you live in their
service area it would be cheaper than outside their service area. I only have rates for out of service area and medical is 139.13 for family or 168.42 depending on what plan you choose. Dental is 20.85 for family, vision is 5.13. These are per pay period.
Individual coverage would be 44.79/54.21 medical, 7.99 dental, and 1.71 vision.
I opted out of insurance as we have through my husband's job. I believe the cheaper insurance is a 70/30 plan and the more expensive an 80/20, not sure about co-pays. Deductibles are $2000 for family, not sure about individual.
depending on who you ask
If you ask me, not hardly. Lets see, six weeks back pay still owing, heard more people are quitting and have not been paid, heard IRS is investigating, the district attorney is in the loop now as well as Department of Labor. How many girls are still owed?.... It will not settle down with D&L until they PAYUP! I will make sure of it!
Depending on DC
A friend of mine has a chiro account she's had for 15 years. She charges 0.12 per line and a line is a line no matter how long it is (none of this gross line crap). Not all chiros are cheapskates!
Actually, depending on where you are
They use Fedex and the actual charge from there to GA is $16 and some change so when I worked there they did make money off of that.
sometimes it can take a while, depending
on how busy they are, but if has been a few days you can email them and ask...... that's what I did
For me 3-5 hours..depending on
how focused I am that day, how many interruptions I have, whether the system is running slowly, etc.
Depending on your proximity to them I'd allow
it a couple more days. DH company mailed his 1/30, in the same state, took 2 days to get here. If you don't have it by the first of the week call them.
Probably depending on the position sm
but I imagine most will want to see a 98 at least. Some might be more forgiving, especially with a somewhat newbie? You'd be required to maintain a 98+ during employment so I don't think they'd want to start anyone much below that.
Depending on the company, sometimes
direct deposit to kick in and you'll be mailed a paper check until then. It all depends on their bank and their procedure. Some banks require a test run to validate the acct being deposited into. Have you asked or inquired about it?
Depending on the company you might
One company just cut QA pay 30% and up, so that might not be a good idea, although, MT pay cuts will probably happen soon here too.
Depending on the account
ER reports have a really good potential to be a big money-maker. Lots of normals and a lot of repetitive statements you can put into your expander. Not to mention the fact that the work is usually far more interesting than acute or clinic work.
IMO, 7 cpl is a decent rate.
Anywhere from 3 to 10 hours, depending on speed,
experience, ESLs, interruptions, platform, etc.
About 4-5 for me depending on how many ESLs slow me down on any given day.
x
I average 20-25 depending on the radiologists who are on.
I work in Radnet, use Shorthand and do all types of exams. I am paid by the report one rate but a much higher rate for IRs.
depending on your state, incorporation not necessary..sm
I did not incorporate....the state I live in allows you to be a sole proprietor, and I think 3 states allow this...where you are the employer and the employee. I still submit 1099s on the privates to the IRS along with MQ's W2-W4 that they give us....and so I also do a schedule C for the sole proprietorship for the MTSO part of my business. *S*
depending on length of the reports,
that is 2 less Americans employed in their own country and the taxes that would be collected for that income missing. How patriotic of Transcend. These companies only think of their own pockets, never the needs of the citizens of the country in which they live. Selfish, greedy, .......................
Axolotl does have ESL, but depending on the account, you may not see any all day
As for your other questions, pay is always on time. Paid twice monthly. Pay periods 1 to 15, 16 to end of month. Direct deposit available first thing in the morning. Have been on OT for last 4 months. Depending on what accounts you have and if you are Acute Care or Clinic, OT could go on for many more months as Axolotl is rapidly expanding. You don't have to stress about ELS because Editors are available by IM and depending on what your schedule is, you may only deal with 1 editor; almost have her as your personal sounding board. They are always willing to answer questions, even give you a toll free number to call if you can't reach them by IM. The Editors and Management are always available to answer your questions. Out of the 5 big national companies I have worked for, personally, I think they are great (I would say the best, but someone will accuse me of being a recruiter if I do -- I am just a new employee who loves it there). You could certainly do worse. 
they hire in all states; depending on what
state you are in, determines if you can be SE if that is what you are looking for.
I have heard anywhere from 3.5 to 5 cpl depending upon your experience.
When there is steady work, they are awesome. Sometimes, it is feast or famine.
Depending on mood it could be _____Head. (sm)
   
FMLA - Depending on your state
might pay. I remember reading NJ just passed FMLA with up to 12 weeks pay (you'd have to be employee status though because it's taken from state disability funds you're paying into) and I think CA also provides for paid FMLA now. My state doesn't pay for FMLA, but does temporary disability and maternity is covered under that.
depending on your experience, lots sm
of companies will take you part-time even if they SAY they only hire full-time. Most of the time part-time is 6000 lp pay period. I work for a company part-time right now and they really needed somebody M and F and every-other Saturday adn they don't hold me to the line count requirement. Just depends on the days you are willing to work sometimes.
It is nice to HAVE A LIFE!
I would say it's a little lower than average depending on your experience
but I think with them the more you type the more you get paid. For each level there is a range. My advice would be that if 6 cents is the most you can make with them, there are other MT jobs out there. I was offered a job with them too so I know that the benefits to me were impressive. It was hard to turn them down.
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
Depending on the reason you may not qualify for unemployment...sm
If an employer has good grounds for dismissal then unemployment won't be awarded.
Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on
s
Depending on the account your placed, this is not bad place to work.
If your on the Escription account, run and do not look back. Work often runs low and the stuff you get is horrid (ESLs) etc. and it is almost impossible to make any money. These are VR accounts. So, if your not on a VR account, you will most likely like it as far as pay on time and decent benefits. I had to quit because I either had no work or crappy accounts where I made no money. Obviously, it was more beneficial to find another job for me. Communication leaves a lot to be desired.
A bit strong. Transcend is good depending
I have worked with them in the past and returned 3 months ago. I am on a really really difficult ESL account, and I am having a learning curve to get to my full-time lines. But, the team lead and my regional manager have been a safety net for me by being very supportive and always addressing my concerns. I must say my account is not for the faint of heart, but the Beyond TXT is fine for me and I am getting there. The major reason why I am sticking out the learning process is because of my supervisor is so supportive and flexible with me taking longer to get my lines. I just about make my bills, and did not make the sign on bonus which is a negative. However, I will stick it out b/c I know that I can do it and make good money here. If you can do ESL and get a good supportive supervisor I would suggest you give it a serious consideration. I do believe there is money to be made at this company and there are a lot of people who have been there many many years. Good luck to you.
Depending on the amt. of money owed, I wouldn't
showing up on her doorstep early the next morning - say, oh, about 5:30 or so, and I'd be knocking LOUDLY.
Or... check and see if it's possible to at least file the small claims suit online or by mail, and then you'd only have to go to Virginia for the hearing. If you show up and she doesn't you would likely win by default.
AllType-unstructured, several platforms depending on accounts
so you could possibly have to learn 2 or 3 platforms depending on what your back ups are. Too chaotic and hard to get work in that way!!!
