Yes, and passed with a high score -
but that was a while ago (last summer). I don't know if the test has changed at all. Good luck.
I got an email stating my score within a few days.

Hm, well if that was my score, it was better than a
I have no clue. Maybe someone will come along that knows if that was, in fact, the score or not.
QA score
Honestly, I've never seen a QA score since I've been there. They probably have one somewhere and if it gets too low they probably alert you or something, but I've never seen one. I'll get occasional random QA'd reports to review or occasional emails from QA about remember to do this. I can also go into the system and review ones that I knew I had a hard time with that have already been through QA and review them myself. So, I guess they're strict in a this-report-needs-to-be-perfect way but not in a you're-going-to-get-your-pay-cut-if-you-don't-get-your-commas-in-the-right-place way.
I do know and I score MTs when I QA them sm
I asked for an updated weighted scale the other day and got one. I know where my full time job is my QA runs about 99.7% or a little better. I have been off my game of late and I think I have dropped to 99.4%.
Now...where I QA I go ballistic with errors. I have an MT who will not WILL NOT look up anything. She had Asthmanex for Asmanex and transcribed NovaLog when the doc said Novolin. The insulin problem could be life threatening!!! She has doctor names misspelled all the time when we have an easy datatbase to use. It is not perfect, it is convenient and not hard to use. She has semicolons when commas and periods are better. I have not counted her punctuation otherwise, don't care where she sticks a comma. She can't use a compound modifier properly and she has a habit of hyphenating every instance of a number (q.8.hours. or 3-days time instead of 3 days' time, etc.) I can't score her above 92% at best and she is often at 88%, not acceptable.
I completely agree, punctuation can't get you down to the 80s. I am tough and the MT above might get worse out of others who are sticklers in ways I am not, but still.
Ask for specifics and examples. QA gals are not perfect. We do the best we can.
I'm sure not going to get into a credit score war w/you, BUT....
I can guarantee you that mine is way higher than yours - and it didn't get that way by allowing whomever wanted to look at my credit report to send me a bunch of BS through the mail or call me! I have never heard of the person to whom you referred in your last posting, but I guess there is only one expert or advisor in the world, correct? I will continue to use the freeze on my account and know that I'm protected while you on the other hand..................
You don' know what you are talking about. My QA score was 99.9. nm
I was QA'd on training every day I'd see my score.
Did you forget about the training review reports? You review your reports daily on QA during initial time period.
Why should I ask about my score if I passed....sm
Usually one asks why one did not pass.
You didn't score an 80 something just
xx
Well I didn't get my score yet but it was ridiculous.
I don't understand it, I've been doing this 20 years and don't necessarily know anatomy like the back of my hand. We are not diagnosticians for pete's sake, we're MTs! If we knew all of that, we wouldn't be typing for peanuts we'd be MDs! LOL. Just a little ridiculous I thought.
It should have instantly sent you a pretty low score.
,
what is the minimum QA score required
Thanks!
Sounds like somebody didn't score too well on their
QA audit! 
Execuscribe On-Line Test Score
Hi! I just tested with Execuscribe yesterday and recieved a score of 88%. Does anyone know if this is a passing score? Thanks!!
That score is with current company. I also have e-mails from
my STM at Webmedx telling me how pleased they were with my work. Someone is always wanting to say that you just couldn't cut it when you leave a company, but that wasn't my situation. Actually the lack of work was a blessing. I now work for a company whose QA is very strict, even more so than Webmedx, where my score last month was 99.9%, there is lots of work 24/7, and the pay is better. I was also making my line count after 3 days. So the story had a happy ending. When one person leaves that might be chalked up to a quality issue, but when several leave at the same time then that likely isn't the case. The numbers showed what the workload was like.
On that score, you are 100% correct, just slow with the flow.
nm
I didn't receive a score but the test was hard.
I'm almost afraid to ask what I got.
It would be nice if they would provide an applicant with their test score.
?
Your line count varies based on QA score.
nm
Maybe the trick was to NOT show a score, like the poster below? Who the frig knows?!! I thought
.
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.
nm
If you have been hired by Medware all of that was in your offer AND discussed in your interview.
You would also know if you were hired on as PT or FT.
BUT anyway....anything over 32 hours is considered FT with benefits. They also DO hire PT employees and they have a very good PTO package, plus personal days. Pay days are every other Friday.
Like I said before, IF you are a new hire, all of this would have been in your offer.
Above post was definitely posted by someone with a high IQ
OH BOY. My post below re: Just Hired, a little nervous...
If you read the post below with the flame, I'm having a communication problem as well, just not insurance - yet!? This is my 2nd nite I was supposed to start my shift (in an hour) and the Acct. Mgr. is gone for the day, no User ID mailed to me again. Insurance issues as well? I do feel for you and the other poster gave some good advice. Keep on top if it!
Look down this same page for the "THEY HIRED ME.." post. nm

Medware does not pay correct? How so, you can email me too.. I dont want to work where they screw up
your check.. Thanks for any help...
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
medware post suspicious
It appears to me that everytime anyone asks about Medware or if someone posts something negative a group of regulars who claim to be MTs (more likely owners or recruiters) come on here and cheer up how great the place is. Their line rate is limted, they have their own Indian company (which if you read between the lines is their highest priority), their insurance is high and their attitude is if you don't like it - leave! Not sure that's a company worth much time looking at.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

Please post your email...sm
Would you mind posting your email or email me please. I have a few questions for you about MDI. Thanks
Try again on this post...if it does not go through may I email you please? Thanks. nm

To the person who sent me the anonymous, rude email. FYI: I AM an MT and I post answers here to di
a true response is given, not supposition and rumor. I do not know why you find it take and ignorant (your words) that I answered that Keystrokes does not and will not send work overseas, but as an MT, that was very important for me to know and part of the decision I made to go to Keystrokes in the first place.
I will not be intimidated by anonymous emails and certainly will continue to post answers with facts when asked.
This board is for everyone in transcription, not just those who think they can control the threads, and I for one like to hear from others in the industry with different viewpoints.
It should not reflect poorly on KS as you said; quite the opposite, I will only post facts and as offshore is an important topic. If your opinion is different than mine, that is your choice, but to send a rude email anonymously with a threatening tone was obviously meant to intimidate me.
Can the happy MT at Stat-Med post a contact email for them? The 2 on their website don't work. An

I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
nm
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
I think a lot of the high $$ MTs
produce the lines, but not necessarily the quality. I know lots of MTs who never do any type of proofing before submitting work. I used to work with one high producer, but the quality of her work was horrible. This was several years ago and no spellchecker and no QA. She would never survive in this business now with the error rate she had.
I'm sure there are some quality MTs that can also produce a huge amount of lines because they learn to work smarter and can type like a demon.
you ARE on the high end of
the pay scale and congrads to you!
