In Reply to: Webmedx's new policy manual? - Longtime MT
I did email asking if they could have a summary rather than us trying to compare old to new and figure out the changes. I was told the changes are too numerous to annotate.
That scared me.

Does this mean you have not been released?
If so, do not worry. If you are new, take what they have to say (feedback) constructively and apply it. They are a good team of people. Best thing, if you do not know it, blank it.
I was released after only 1 day. I agree
8 days is probably not enough of a trial, but then it depends if the QA errors where account specific/formatting issues versus misspelled words, wrong meds, etc. Leaving there was the best thing I've done in a long time and I left before they bought TransHealth and M-Tec, but things weren't kosher then either.
tuesday
I am so glad too that I don't have to deal with MQ ever again. I feel positive about the whole thing. Hours will be 3-11, hope this 57-year-old can adjust, lol.
Not sure how it works, but maybe the client just released (as they do on sm
Fridays) lots of dictation from the 21st, thereby putting the crunch on us. QT probably didn't want to ask us to work extra over Christmas weekend. In past experiences with other companies, it is the client who will sandbag the work and send it over in a huge lump that really dumps on the transcription company and its MTs.
So, let's do extra and make extra. It's not like we were asked to do it for free.
Stop worrying. I think we're really okay. We have to pitch in and help.
Not NSF. BIG DIFFERENCE. Funds available but not released and everyone was
sent the bank letter. They changed banks, got direct deposit and no more problems. The letter from the bank said that the funds were there but not available due to new holds being placed on deposits. Big difference.
I start the following Tuesday
I hope they did not lie!!!!
I start on Tuesday
I applied online and took the test on Tues. evening. Rhonda called me on Wed. to make an offer. I had asked for Sun-Thurs 2nd shift 4 pm to 12 am but she said that wasn't available, so I took Tues-Sat. 2nd shift. I faxed my initial paperwork Thurs. and she called me back twice. The 2nd time she said they had decided that they would ahead and give me the Sun-Thurs. They are sending my footpedal, etc. I have a 1 pm appt with the IT guy on Tues, then the trainer at 3, and then I can start typing. The only thing is they pay bimonthly, the 15th and the last day of the month so I won't get my first check until 5/29. Spheris paid biweekly. I'm really hoping it's a good fit; it sounds good. Rhonda never even discussed my test score with me, just went by my experience. I hope I don't let her down.
And did those lines equal the same? Once the file is released sm
from QA, it will show in Scribe and there are several ways you can search to find that specific job. I have checked lines on multiple occasions the same way you did to make sure what I was getting was close to what Scribe was getting and it always was. In fact, it was usually a tad bit higher than the Word line count was.
Nothing in my account, so I guess it is Tuesday. :( nm
I did on Tuesday, now it's changed back. NM

Started Monday. Supposed to be released today. sm
I don't know what is going on there, but I haven't had any problem at all. I was told at the beginning I needed to do 5 days of 5 reports and if I had 98%, I was good to go. Tomorrow would be my scheduled day off anyway and I start my regular shift on Sunday. At least that is what I have been told.
They apparently have hired a lot of new people, so I'd just keep calling.
I'm lookin forward to that teleconference Tuesday
I get my check on Monday or Tuesday by snail mail . sm
After bring home peanuts from MQ, it is worth the wait!
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm
She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better BECAUSE you have kids? I am so sick of that attitude. I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it. Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time. I said NO! Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important. 
BTW I work part time too. 
Thanks! Not sure why I didn't think of that
but that is what I will do from now on!
Thank you - I didn't know. :) nm

Are you sure she didn't say she has been
a recruiter for years (not necessarily with Keystrokes)? Because I was hired at another company a number of years ago and she was the recruiter, maybe there was a misunderstanding?
I did all that and it still didn't come up....oh well
I think there is just trouble with imail. This happened to me the day before yesterday too. To get to the MQ board click on forums (left blue menu) then click on company forum, (you obviously did that) but then look to the blue menu on the left and now Medquist appears under company board and before offshore board. See ya there.
What $125? I didn't see anything like that.
And there's a charge if we return the computer before three months? I heard they were the absolute best company out there. I simply can't make a decent line count. I sent out three resumes on fulltime local nonMT jobs yesterday because I haven't been able to earn a decent steady income doing MT for a year now. I'm not going bankrupt over this. I don't see why it has to be this difficult. I'd be totally loyal, stay with a company, and move into a more responsible position if I could find the right company.
I didn't know that.
So those who are moseying along, getting in their 11,000 whenever, are making as much as the ones who work really hard to get their line counts into the incentive range?
I wonder if there are any other companies out there that reward mediocrity? If so, maybe it's time to lower my own personal standards to fit in with the new trend.
you didn't
Boy that was quick! Like I said, it was my oversight and I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. You didn't deserve it.
I didn't get it either.

I didn't think that was possible
NONE - no cable, no DSL? How can that be in this day and age. I only have 2 choices here - Comcast or Verizon DSL. Verizon is out for me and it is a drag when Comcast has outages all the time.
I do work on an a/c where I've worked using dial-up with Comcast down - uses Quadris with VPN server. Worked just fine on dial-up. No problem getting into VPN at all, and able to type & save reports quite well.
Another a/c - uses IDX with no VPN - didn't work w/o high speed.
Definitely can't use dialup tho for any voice files. Only for a/c's with phone dictation.
As to foot pedals - try eBay. Plenty of other sites where people are selling equipment.
If you didn't know before - know it now
They didn't used to, but they are going to now
they are starting up a pilot program offshoring a certain number of jobs per day to test the waters in what is pivotal to the industry. Yada yada yada. So they didn't before, but they will be soon. It'll come back to bite them in the you-know-what. A bigger threat to borderline MTs is VR.
When I was there they didn't pay for that
downtime, either.
AND I didn't say she should be, I said
that everywhere ELSE I go they are falling all over themselves. If you had the experience I have, you'd know what I mean. And since I never talked to her other than to say You emailed me and told me to call you... and she said she'd call me RIGHT BACK, and those were the only words I ever spoke to her, I don't see where any attitude would come in.
I do know that any company/any hospital would be GLAD to have me work for them. I have received nothing but praise for my work. I have worked long and hard to gain the experience I have and it has paid off. I have had my own hospital accounts for years. I've never had to beg for a job; they are offered to me quite readily. Sorry if that bothers you.
Please tell me that you didn't (sm)
use this as an excuse not to pay them. This would certainly be reason enough to get rid of them, but I don't understand why you would not set their pay straight.
Didn't like it
I tried to like Amphion as well, but it just wasn't the company for me. I also hated the DI screen fill in and I found the clinic notes to be dull and not very mentally stimulating. I left within a month and I'm happy where I am now. The people are very nice but I also found the supervisors to be not very helpful.
No, she sure didn't. Sorry! nm
nm
Thank you..I didn't even get to the SM
part about how PROUD they are to low-ball on rates the way they do. Why such pride for driving down rates in the areas they do business? There are MTSOs out there who quote a FAIR RATE based upon their overhead (including the rates to pay good MTs) and Shapin seems to be quite proud of the fact that they quote such low rates to their clients to get accounts.
I didn't like it sm
When I worked there, it wasn't organized, ran out of work and the operations manager was pretty nasty at times.
Things may have gotten better since then, but I doubt it.
what the ad didn't tell you
On editing and transcription, you have to deal with logs and you don't get paid for them. You also have to fool with margins and all that extra stuff that takes time. I was there nearly a year and quit because I couldn't take the temper tantrums.
Sorry...I didn't know about no DD
I have been there longer than July, maybe they didn't take it away from those who had it originally when they went to no DD. BUT, even if I did not have DD, I would still work for them.
But, Wise-MT, your post was good. A good contrast between the two of us. Sort of * whole picture * type of thing.
Good Luck to you Sammy. I hope you find a place you like and who treats you well. We MTs sure ALL deserve that at least!
Did you consider that maybe she didn't
:)
I didn't see an ad
But they emailed me today about a position, so they are hiring.
I didn't know, thanks. sm
I haven't visited that board in quite a long, long time and thought it was mostly a general-topic board. But, you are right, it has a lot of topics pertaining to this subject.
Don't say we didn't tell you! (sm)
You come here enough and you can tell the few angry flamers and the sour grapes from the people who have genuinely tried these companies - go ahead - give them a whirl. I have looked and tested and compared companies for the last 6 months - and I have come here to report on some real winners (not) - I tested and was offered a position with SS too and I turned down because on the advice of someone here I asked some very pointed questions and was a little concerned about the lack of forthcoming answers... but to each his own. Good luck to you!
hmm.....why didn't
I think of that myself??
Didn't get cpl..
I didn't ask cpl because she said they use something called Netcare but in the last email she said they have an eScription account so I asked about that last night.
Didn't think of that, but since they are asking for a 2 x 2
photo it does sound awfully fishy.
also didn't tell ya
just about every report is 100% listen plus feedback required, you can't make squat.
Didn't think about
any of that, but you both have a point!
I said most likely not as many, I didn't say
it definitely would not.
They didn't pay me either!
I worked for this company for a short period of time and they never have paid me.
No, I didn't get one, but it is only a
matter of time I suppose, just goes to show they have no clue as to who is working for them, very disorganized company.
I didn't like it but...
I am an IC and like the flexiblity of that, so being on messenger and expected to fill an absolute shift even when ahead on lines didn't work for me. Pay was not that great, but the platform is good.
That's not to say they didn't say it to the OP.
We should be sticking together, not tearing each other apart. Shame on you for doubting what was told to this OP and others in this thread. If the shoe fits, then TT should wear it.
Wow, I didn't even know they
outsourced. Let me see if I can find out something for you. I'll call around. I know several people who worked at Presbyterian before as employees. Who do you work for if you don't mind me asking?
