Did you tell them to only send you the lines that needed correcting then?

Let me get this straight.  They want you to read the entire report (which is considered working in my book), and there are no corrections, then you have just done them a favor?  What do they take us for?

• FOCUS offer! I had a call today sm - MT too long!
  • You didn't hear wrong - me
  • When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business! - Amanda
    • Offshoring will dry up... - Just Another MT
  • Yes, They ARE ridiculous. That's why their Help Wanted Posts - Are ALWAYS here!
  • They are a big ripoff for QA for sure - and probably so for MTs
    • they told me that QA for the MTs is sm - MT TOO LONG
  • Did you tell them to only send you the lines that needed correcting then? - MTangel
  • I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work& - nm
    • so does this mean that they really sm - MT too long
      • FOCUS VR ETC. - EX-MT
    • Most of their MTs ARE in India - sm
    • sorry for my broken message.. sm - nm
      • I think they caught a lot of slack....sm - mt
  • Everything you say is true - That is why they always have ads

I used to get 1200 or more per day.  Then they fiddled with the line counter and after that, my lines dropped to 700-900 a day.  No matter what I did, I never got close to the 1200 a day. When I asked them how many hours I could work during the day, they told me I could NOT work more than 8 hours. So after after a while, I became very depressed, even a little paranoid, and just couldn't take the low pays any more and quit. I'm still trying to dig out of the hole money-wise that they helped dig. I should have quit earlier than I did, but tried to hang in there hoping things would get better. I did like it there.

BTW, I was on an account that at 90% ESL. The instant messaging and mandatory conference calls and/or voluntary conference calls drove me up the wall after a while.

I will agree, their holidays and benefits are pretty decent and some of the people were great to work with. Also, the nice thing about IM'g was that you knew you weren't alone and you could always get an answer to a question almost instantly  by IM'g somebody else.  They are also VERY supportive and understanding when it comes to family problems.

This is just me. You may love it there. You may have great everything. The only thing I can say is try it. There's always those 2 little words I quit.

I feel better today.  I just cannot re-take that test though.  After that experience, I refuse to test on any tests which have the entire test on one web page, including the download and transcribing of files onto the same page.  It is too risky that the page could disappear.  Live and learn I guess. 

This MT testing is so grueling I will be glad when it is over!  Thanks for letting me vent! 

to get my photo license, so this worked out fine. Ran and did that plus stopped for bread and cheese for ham sandwiches. Took no time at all as the center was empty, as was the grocery store. Guess everyone is at the mall exchanging their gifts.

We were warned the other day that it may be VERY slow after Christmas and I looked forward to it. How I wish I could go to the mall and get new outdoor lights. Ours were blown out, so it was a dark and dreary Christmas Eve night. It's the only time we turn our lights on.

Could anyone give me info on Meridian Healthcare Group, LLC out of Indiana or Transcription-Express (don't know where they are from)

Any info would be appreciated!

Dear All!  I'm writing a business plan and conducting some initial market surveys, and since all of you have always been a wealth of information, I figured this was a good place to start.  I need to know what dictation/transcription platform any company you can think of is on.  Please respond, just a quick post with the company name, platform, and if it is a web based platform (if you know).  Thank you all in advance!!!

The first and foremost would be promotion of US-based transcription for US-based patients.  I feel there are major, major privacy issues at hand there, and I would personally have trouble with my personal info being shipped overseas.

Certification I think is very, very debatable.  AAMT has tried to make a standard practice, but really it isn't.  You have to be certified and continue with education to be a nurse because those practices are standard and regulated pretty  much across the board without too much difference.  MTs have to do what the client at the time asks, and there is a ton a variation between companies and clients.  I have worked for a lot of different places and have yet to find one that follows even half of the important rules of the BOS. 

I also think another organization should point out certain advantages to being an MT, at home or otherwise.  AAMT wants you of course to buy books and whatnot from their store, but there are many other resources online that are available to us simply because we are members of the medical field; most are free.  Working at home gets you discounts on things like car insurance (cut mine in half).  There are many advantages to ousourcing companies that hire at-home employees as well which are growing all the time.

I would absolutely participate as much as I can in getting something like this going.  AAMT as decided where they are which is perfectly okay.  They just now need replaced.

Invoiced and billed employer who has not sent me a check.  I did email and a check was to be sent to me by this past Friday, but is now not responding to email inquiries as to the status and whether or not the checks were mailed (they now owe me 2).

Which regulatory agencies or legal groups do I contact in this regard in order to be paid?
