Can't find anything on Google, but
Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?
Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.
Good luck!
You can google and find them fast....

cannot find much on Sten-tel
I searched archives - haven't seen much about this company - any info would be appreciated - thanks.
Did you find an on site MT job on N.Ca?
I ask that because I'm in Northern CA too, and there is just nothing out there. I want to get out of the at-home cr@p, and back to a *real* job again. It seems like every hospital out here outsources. There are still some site jobs to be had in Southern CA (especially near San Diego), but I like where I am, I don't want to live in SoCal.
Go to IRS web site and find forms...sm
look for 1040-ES forms. You will have to print this off...next one is April 15, and send in your payment for federal taxes. Next payment will be in June, short period. You may have to print these off the rest of the year but the IRS will send you payment coupons at some point with your information already on there. Until then, you will have to look there for the info, according to where you live, to mail it to. Then, go to your state government website and look for tax forms for self-employment taxes, print this off and mail it in by the same date, April 16 this year. Your state may or may not send you payment coupons....mine did at one time but then stopped, so I have to print them off myself...they're too busy spending my tax dollars on junk than to send me preprinted forms. Hope this helps.
I only find a site on line that says they train for MT. Is there a job ad up
s
Keep the name coming for the new people who find this web site. sm
She has deceived too many MTs. 
Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.

Use the Google search bar towards the top of the MT Stars site
Make sure that -mt stars- has a dot beside it. Type in the company name and do a search.
HELPFUL SEARCH TIP: in Google window type exactly: "MD-IT" site:www.mtstars.com...
someone i know is a super hacker for websites and knows how to search for info. it will pull up all statements that have ever been posted about MD-IT but you must type it just as i have posted.
it's called razzle/dazzle, confuse 'em, make 'em doubt themselves nm
 The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.
No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.
You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with

If you find
someone who is hiring for psychiatry and/or psychology, please come back to this message and email me. I have made this post a couple of times before and have not gotten a response.
How to find JUST Ops, not H&P, DS, etc?
Any ideas?
you will probably have to find sm
a company in your country. The companies I know of don't hire MTs out of the country. I don't want to be rude, but just for some information, I wouldn't describe what I wanted as wanting to do reports in my spare time. Very unprofessional.
How do I find it
How do I find it?
Please tell me if you can find a
I would like to know too, but I am not holding my breath either.
I cant find anything on them. nm
:
find a new MT job or get a second job
I definitely know where you are coming from!
If you find out, let ME know - sm
Tried to find this out myself a while back and got no good answer. Seems like no one wanted to speak up. I was scared off because not one person could say one way or the other.
It COULD get better, if we could find a way to get -nm

How could we find out? nm
Cant find it either...nm
.
If you find out anything please let me know also...
as I was hired by them
Please find somewhere else
Please, they will not tell you anything, ever. Management changes on a daily basis, the MTs are told nothing. They will ship the work off one day, take it back, then ship it off again at their discretion. There are many GOOD companies out there, don't waste your time and talent on this place. It is apparent that their goal is to replace all American MT's with offshore, it is just a matter of time. They will treat you miserably if you decide to go there.
Where is their ad - I can't find it? nm

How to find?
I have called both the tax and the labor departments in my state and they know of no such regulations.
The way to find out might be to - sm
either have some investigative type get a job at that company's management level.
Sometimes even some hospital medical records management folks actually know where their records are REALLY being typed.
Where I used to work inhouse, that institution has a strict 'No offshoring' policy. They contract only with MTSOs who supposedly do not offshore. Yet some of it IS going offshore, and that hospital MR manager knows it, but the rest of the hospital doesn't. She & the MTSO have some sort of a sweetheart deal going, and she thinks she'll never be found out. Attempts to 'out' her secret by MTs have failed because (1) MTs are never taken seriously there, (2) she's such an adept liar that she always twists things around to come out in her favor, and (c) most of the whistle-blowers in the MT department there have either been fired or driven out.
There's such a wall between MTs & management that it's hard for the truth to be known. I think that's another reason why unionization could help us, because they've got the wherewithall to investigate issues such as cheating MTs on line counts, sending work offshore through the 'back door', etc.
If ever MTs needed someone to unite them and stand up for their cause, it's now.
So how do we find it if you do?
nm
Did you REALLY think you could find a job sm
in this field and NOT do any ESLs? Who are you joking? No such thing these days. Learn to do them all.
Can't find them
in the Yellow Pages and tried to Google that name but nothing comes up for them. I sent them a resume last night. I will let you know if anything happens. Why is it that answers to peoples' questions about companies are not showing up??? Are they being removed? I thought this board was to help people find the company that is right for them. I am not getting any replies to questions I have posed. What are they hiding? Makes me feel like this has become a shady business to be in after 20 years.
For sure. Anyway, I bet they will find something else.
nm
Another way is let them find you. sm
Post your resume on this site, they'll contact you if they're interested. I got quite a few replies but nobody wants dialup.
IMO...you won't find one with the best of everything.
Choose what's important and then look for ones that'll be a good fit. There is no specific answer. There aren't even a specific number of answers. Different for everyone.
go find another job
stop wasting your time on forums and go look for another job
I believe your not a slacker, but do stop complaining
let us know what you find because
I will help in any way I can. I live in Nebraska and there are only 2 or 3 MT companies in this state. It is time to see people lined up outside MQ and all the other places that outsource. It is time for American MTs to have a union. It is time for us to get together and do something about this. I know it feel like we are all alone in this and we are all suffering alone.......but that isn't true. I have read many posts on these boards as well and there are many many intelligent people here. I am sure we can come up with a game plan. We can't lie down and let them stomp on us.
No, but let me/us know if you find one!
Perhaps if you find your own account you could ask that line rate, but offhand, I don't know of any nationals that would start you off at that rate. I can tell you that I was shocked and disappointed when I realized I wouldn't be paid for my experience as I was when I worked in-house. Good luck in your search.
You can probably find better
I started out at Spheris (then Edix) 5 years ago and it's been fine. However, they are moving to voice rec which I believe pays 5.5 cents an hour, something like that. I haven't noticed my productivity increase much so hence my salary has decreased. I will probably look for something else soon. Other than the recently lowered salary I have been satisfied with the company.
From what I can find, they are not the same
company at all. One is called DTS America and the other is Digital Transcription Systems, Inc. in Oklahoma.
If you find don't like it
within3 months, that would be long enough. I couldn't make any real money with it, even with putting in extra hours. The stress is what did me in.
find something else
I worked for them for a long time, even before the name changed. They outsource all they can and a recent memo said they were shooting for having all offshore because of the cost savings. They got rid of most of the QA people, just all of a sudden said sorry, no job. The people kept in charge would aggravate you to death, you'd be in one working and one would call you to work on another, and yet another would call about something different. You spend more time fielding calls and IMs than working. The only thing I miss is their insurance, it was expensive but paid nearly everything.
You probably will not find what you are sm
looking for until probably almost February. All companies are very slow from now through January.
If I were you, I would find out about getting some
people together to picket the hospital, with signs stating they are going to be outsourcing patient's medical records to other countries. How would the patient's like to find this out. We can't do this with a service, but a hospital would be totally different. You would have to check with your local regulatory agency to find out what your rights are to do this, but it might be worth a try.
If you don't like being an MT, find something else...
plain and simple...I know it is not for everyone and some people get into this field with unrealistic expectations but I agree 100% with the above poster...
You really need to find yourself another job
You sound absolutely miserable with TT, so it's probably time to move on. Stop trashing a great company, and move on.
If you don't like being an MT find something else
Just to inform you all - It is a federal law - Maternity Leave is treated as a disability. That means if you get paid for maternity leave, they must pay for someone that has a disability that prevents them from working. It is not vacation!! It is not age discrimination. I have worked as an MT for many-many years, but my husband owns (owned) a construction co. with over 50 employees. So, I am familiar with human resources laws, etc.
Right now, it's all I can find sm
I'm actively searching for another job, but as I'm sure everyone is aware, the good ones are few and far between. As soon as the right one comes along, I'm out of QA for good!!
Only one sure way to find out,
Call them!
