It doesn't matter where the server is, it is still a database and accessed via the internet
I have worked on Escription and also have IT experience.
re wav or internet accts
mine have been lower on work but not running out. I was told by my liasion that if there is no work you are not expected to keep your committment. I would suggest any of these things be directly discussed with your liasion so that there are no misunderstandings. Most any MT work will fluctuate some. I sure wouldn't turn away from MDI based on these concerns.
Do you need a Cphone and your own LD for all accounts or do they have any internet accts.? nm

Someone else asking if you still need a Cphone & 2nd line to work for them. Any internet accts? nm

They did away with the WC, but still need a Cphone & 2nd line as no internet accts. In past, they

Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

I have three lines, all AT&T discounted for all three ULD
A lot of MTs don't have C-phones (nm)

Which companies still use C-phones?
TIA
Company that uses C-phones
A Transcriptionist who used to work for me just told me about your post. I use a call-in system that is accessed with a C-phone. My workload is a little light due to the doctors taking last-minute vacations, but if you want to contact me in a few weeks, it should pick up by then. I have a few surgery center accounts, pain clinics, and a plastic surgeon and am looking to pick up a few more accounts.

Ewww, still using c-phones...sm
Sound is HORRIBLE.
didn't know they could dial phones yet..sm
but they ARE pretty smart! Yeah i knew about dogs liking cat food, but you could chase my kitties around the block with dog foot. that's weird.
Sennheiser head phones
Love them. They are not as expensive as the Bose, but they are just as good. They are, however, a little more expensive than your average headphones. They are lightweight, noise cancelling, and very comfortable. I bought my on ebay last year and got a great deal.
they have accounts that require C-phones sm
and also accounts on high speed internet. Not every account is done on the same platform. Full time is 1200 lines per day/12000 pay period. Part-time (if they still hire part-time) is 600/6000. They offer insurance but I can't remember what it is. There is something through AFLAC but I think that might be disability or something.
You could hear from them down the road some time. They try their best to match you up with an account that matches your experience.
Not answering their phones would be a big turn-off for me. I wouldn't take the job. nm

Why? I am an MT. I don't want to file or answer phones, and if they gave me something else to d
they would have to take the work from someone else. Why would they do that? MTs make a lot more than Med Rec clerks. Make the MTs take their PTO and pay the Med Rec clerks their lower wage. Not pretty but realistic.
Agree with this. And bring in your own noise-cancelling phones so you don't have to hear her. nm

I use both, internet and books, but mostly the internet..nm

Your foot pedal & phones are plugged into your tower like with any other program. Works just fine

Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,

What companies allow dial-up? or C-phones and dial-up?
 I do not have (and can't get) cable or high speed internet. Satellite is available but way too expensive to get if you are not working! I just wanna get a job....
MQ accts not on DQS
When our office was closed we were all transferred to Foxboro because none of our accts at that time were on the new platform, they were on MTS. Some of those accts since have gone up on the new platform and some are still on MTS--either way we still have NO WORK
No more accts on WP5.1...all are now
on the FN platform, which is Word based.
yes to all the above - at least on the accts I was on.

They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
Webmedx does on certain accts, you have to ask. nm

Proscipt new accts
Nope..just takes some getting used to. I take all the work I can get.
So is this all QA or just those on the dropped accts?
Just wondering!

MDI Lanier Accts
I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
Yes, they definitely are - new accts coming on sm
and there was a referral bonus notice put out a few weeks ago.
Who's going to manage their accts sm
while they're gone? I already have enough trouble having to press this and press that to get through their phone menu when I have a simple question. I'm glad they felt they need to give their STMs a trip, that must be where our Christmas gift went.
Dont know about accts because only
work on 1, my own doing. I do both VR and straight, 8 for straight, 4 for VR. Most days the work is fine. Slump every once in awhile.
I have no good accts, all ESL. nm

why not look her co up on the internet? lol

Internet
I have recently moved into an area that does not have DSL or cable available. The only thing that would be available would be through satellite and that would cost $400 to start and then $40 a month. The $40 a month sounds great, although the initial fee of $400 for equipment does not make me happy. My biggest concern is that there are some companies that would not allow the satellite internet. Does anyone know any companies that allow you to use dial-up service or satellite for radiology transcription?
Thanks for your help.
You bet that the internet has taken over,
and this long ago!
What are you going to do if you do not understand a term a doctor is dictating?
How are you going to 'look it up' in one of your books?
But, if you type it into a medical website, you get options offered: 'Did you mean..?'
This helps a LOT.
This is ONLY A SMALL EXAMPLE.
I think the internet alone may be ok after you have a sm
couple years of experience. But I don't think starting out using the internet only is a good idea. There is too much incorrect information on the internet. If you are not familiar or don't research you are going to pick up wrong information.
I know I will probably get slammed for that but I have seen it over and over and over again. Folks just don't know how to or will not take the time to research anymore.
Maybe so, but anyone new won't be put on it. I had too many horrible ESLs on my accts. nm

If you like to be switched on accts all the time.

Do they keep changing your accts & platforms or do you have just 1 or 2

Any info on DonNik rad accts?
Curious specificaly in regards to the platform they use and if pay is acceptable/comparable to most other companies. Tks!
you have to go through w/any company if you work VA accts..nm
