Do yourself a favor - rethink Webmedx. sm

Posted By: now at WMX on 2007-08-11
In Reply to: I have narrowed it to those 3 companies. I am not interested in Webmedx - BTDT. nm - JobSeeker

I changed jobs this past year. I did research on every company I could find - tested with most of them. I went through the testing with MT Matchmaker, who contacted Webmedx on my behalf. After weighing all of the pros and cons of all the companies, I took a job with Webmedx. I have been very impressed with them. They are very organized, have plenty of work, and provide everything you could possibly need at your fingertips. The platform is easy. The QA is tough initially, but very professional, kind, and helpful. I really think this is a good company.

you might want to rethink that
Why do you think the Canadians (and citizens of other countries) come here for their care. Because ours is better and you don't have to wait two years to get in. My friend's dad recently died. When she talked to his physician she said it looked like a CABG could have saved him, and the physician agreed. unfortunately, the procedure wasn't performed. Guess why. He was too old. How old is too old? In this case, in Great Britain, 55. Yup, he was 55 and denied a CABG because he was too old and it was not a cost efficient procedure. This physician told her we Americans think we deserve health care at any age because we all want to just live too long. Our system has flaws, but the grass is not necessarily greener...... I am 55 and I think I have a lot of good years left. I sure don't want to be too old for that CABG, do you?
Rethink SmartMed
Rethink the SmartMed option.  Their Summit platform is very cumbersome and not user friendly.  If editors let certain mistakes slip through, they get docked $10 per document. I realize no mistakes should get through but we are only human and sometimes a mistake gets through. They never gave me feedback on how I was doing, yet sent the blanket email saying certain things would get docked. In contract, stated about getting docked, but only after conference with supervisor. Email said docking would start immediately, with no conference. Support VERY slow to respond. You work for four weeks before seeing first check. I finally decided the headaches not worth my time and left after just a few weeks. I am hoping I see that first, and last, paycheck. 
rethink Medware
I did not have a good experience there either...pay was low, checks were short for lines on each check I received. I was there for 2-1/2 months and was constantly switching from 1 account to another. I do not recommend Medware to anyone ever! JMHO
You should rethink that Aces up job...sm

These people have almost 100% VR...they work with Focus, and they mainly have work only in the evenings.  They will switch you from account to account.  I doubt if she even has her own accounts.


If I were you - I would rethink working for a company. sm
See if the hospital will allow you to work as a remote employee (from home). That would be your best bet.
Do yourself a favor sm
they do pay but lots of problems getting paid on time .. and if you go to leave they like to hold your checks for as long as they can
What, and do you the favor
raising the property value in your ghetto? The pond is all yours. Don't forget the scumscreen.
Why would I do you a favor?
Are you the spokesperson for all MTs?
Before you even CONSIDER SPI, rethink it. I'll be happy to talk.

It never worked out in our favor..
x
I would definitely ask about any bonus I was do. It's not a favor from them,
.
Any and all info on Hands-On, por favor...(sm)
They are advertising right now and was curious if anyone has any experience working for them.
oh my gosh! they did you a huge favor by not hiring you - sm
they have got to be one of the worst companies (right up there with a certain company who shall go nameless but have their own forum on a particular board). I worked in the office of Spheris in Florida and for legal reasons, all I can say is that they would have found ways to cheat you on your pay, although it would have taken you quite a while to figure it out. They also offshore quite a bit, even though many of the contracts state that the work has to remain in the US.

So dangling it in your face -- NAAAAHHHH, look at it as a relief. There are better companies to work and even hospitals are starting to go back to hiring transcriptionists full time at home :)


But if you flat-out think someone SUCKS, you should quit. Do everyone a favor - sm
you can't be doing a good job for the company if you obviously despise them.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
Webmedx
Been with them 10 months.  They are great.  Fair. Great platform. Great pay.  But, I have been doing this for 25 years, no idea how it is for newbies that need hand-holding.  Though the trainers seem competent and willing, the little contact I had with them.
I like WebmedX very much.
Most important, pay is on time, direct deposit, and always correct. QA folks are very helpful without being condescending. They and the managers really do want you to do well and do whatever they can to help you achieve that. I am on a heavy ESL account and yet I find it quite easy to do as there are so many avenues of help with access to numerous samples and the ability to view transcribed records.

My experience has been quite good with this company. I can only speak for Webmedx as I have not worked for Medware.
WebMedX
Apparently, you don't really want opinions if you don't want to hear from "Bashers."

However, I have nothing bad to say - I have been there 8 mos. - come on board. They have great insurance. They provide you with a text Expander with your computer, and they pay on time everytime. My supervisor is probably the best I have ever had - I've been in this business for over 20 years.

WebMedX
Having worked for both and currently WebMedX, they're the best choice.  They are a lot nicer and easier to deal with, their pay is better, their benefits are better, their scheduling is better.  I honestly have had no complaints with them.  Once Spheris went through their whole restructuring plan for pay and line counts, they went right down the tubes as far as caring about their employees instead of the almighty $$ for themselves, in my opinion (sort of like MQ is doing right now).

Does anyone work for webmedx? Do you ever run out of work?  Any information would be appreciated.  Thank you.
WEBMEDX
Check out Webmedx - they have very affordable health insurance coverage. 
WEBMEDX!
Webmedx sends out Christmas gifts, as well as gifts during MT Week. This compan rocks!
WEBMEDX - NO

Run from Webmedx


WEBMEDX
Can anyone give me some insight on this company?  Do they provide steady work,  do you make your lines and hours either PT or FT, benefits and are MTs appreciated? Thanks!!!
WEBMEDX
I have been with Webmedx for several years now (acute care MT) and they are a wonderful company to work for!  I have a great account, a flexible schedule, and feel very appreciated by the management staff.  We just received our Christmas gifts.  I also received gifts during MT Week.  The platform they use is very easy to learn.  I hope you give them a try!
What about Webmedx?
Webmedx hires PT MTs and rates run between 7 and 9 CPL, depending on the difficulty of the account.  We are all running OT right now and more accounts are coming on next week.  They provide computer too. 
webmedx
I will check them out! Thank you!
Definitely WEBMEDX!
They are an AWESOME company to work for!
WebmedX
Anyone know anything about Webmedx? TIA
WebMedX
Has anyone ever worked for WebMedX, and can you tell me if you are happy or unhappy. Could you tell me a little about it.
WebMedX
They don't pay! That basically sums it up.
webmedx
I've worked for them for over 6 years doing Radiology. Every two weeks my check is in the bank. I worked for an MTSO for 7 weeks and every check has bounced. Is the pay as good as a hospital or free standing Radiology clinic. NO. But someone who wants to work at home because of small children or transportation problems couldn't go wrong working for them.
Webmedx sm
I just checked.  The recruiter said they are not hiring IC's.
WEBMEDX!
I have been working for Webmedx now as an MT for over five years and they are great! Probably the most professional company I have ever worked for.
Webmedx
Do they pay relatively well for experienced MTs?  I have 11 years of experience, 9 of those acute care.  Does anyone know their pay scale?  Thanks.
Webmedx also going VR

but they do have bonus pay -- for now.


webmedx
Have no knowledge of Axoltol, but Webmedx is heavy ESL and some really bad ones (I used to QA there). On a positive note, their software is incredibly easy to use and pay was decent, everyone nice to work with.
Webmedx

Any information on this company pros and consciousness appreciated


Thanks

Webmedx sm
I have worked for them for almost four years.  They are a good company to work for, but they have a LOT of ESLs.  They pay by the line.  They do offer good benefits and PTO.
WEBMEDX
Webmedx does not pay by minutes, but by the line. I have worked for this company for several years and absolutely love it!
WEBMEDX
You are very welcome!
Webmedx - 100%!!!!
They are tops to work for!!
webmedx
