I do not want to work through a service again. I am tired of running out of work. If anybody knows of any leads, even if they aren't hiring right now, please e-mail me privately. All responses will be confidential. I am looking for something for myself, not to be posted to others.
Thank you in advance.

Only if you work directly for their hospitals, not as a Diskriter employee. nm

TT does hire ICs, not sure about eScription

Looking for companies that hire IC on escription..sm
Other than Sten-Tel and Alphamed, who hires IC status to work on escription?
Thanks
What companies hire PT escription ...
TIA.
They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Do any of you Escription MTs have employee status? If so, where?

I don't know if they hire IC, but as an employee
you'll never get that rate, you'll be lucky to get 9 and I'm not sure you'll get that. Don't know about crap dictation as I turned down a job with them due to their offshoring.
Oh, do they hire employee or IC, Thanks. sm
If employee, do they offer benefits? They don't say much on their site.
And does TransTech hire IC or employee?

Does TTS hire ICs or employee status only? nm

They hire you as an IC and treat you as an employee. nm

Does Ablescribe hire employee status?
If they do, any comments on how they pay QA? Good company?
Does anyone know of any companies who hire PT employee status? nm

They hire you as employee, not IC. 600 lpd is PT. Their QA really lacks in communication. nm

It depends if you are employee or IC. Employees cannot hire sm
assistants. Most companies make you sign a confidentiality agreement, as do most hospitals and clinics. Those agreements should state (every one I have seen) that you will not let anyone have access to personal information or use your IDs. Letting someone listen is a direct violation. I read your post and went to the Privacy Manager at the hospital where I work to verify this before posting this response. She is our HIPAA specialist and told me that letting anyone listen or read a medical report is the same as telling them about it and a direct HIPAA violation.
Statutory Employee: What services hire SEs?
I have enjoyed the flexibility and tax part of being an SE with MDI-MD, but it seems very difficult to find any service who will hire SE. I see IC or FT or PT, but not SE. Could someone give me some leads? I searched the archives, not much current info. there...thanks!!
Only hire as employee if they have 50 employees in the state you live in. NM
My state would never be one.
It's not rocket science - you need specific hours = hire an employee (sm)
You need a specific TAT but not specific hours = hire an IC. The IRS, each state's Workers' Comp laws and so forth make it VERY clear about what determines an IC and what determines an employee. If a company needs someone from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Mon-Fri, then that is a part-time employee, and in some states automatically a benefited employee.
For example, if you need a housekeeper or nanny for specific hours, that person becomes an employee. I vaguely remember a politician getting in trouble for this a few years back - not paying taxes, etc. for a nanny, by calling her an IC when in fact she was an employee.
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
There is at least 1 facility that requires US MTs only.
It is actually their largest account. I worked for them a few years ago and worked another service that did this same hospital. This hospital is very picky and absolutely will not allow any offshore work. I guess they will have to keep all US MTs on that particular account in order to keep it.
I would invite all DRC MTs to come on over to TransTech, you will find a home here.
Facility at fault?
If the facility has in-house MTs, they often outsource the crap work to the MTSO. It's another good reason why working inhouse might be better, if the jobs were available, and if we really wanted to go outside our homes, that is.
Contact the facility...
I don't think people are supposed to be sharing that information here.
I would call the HR for each facility and ask.
If it isn't done in-house or by their own home transcriptionists, they will usually tell you which company has the account.
I do not agree with what the facility...
is doing, either, and if you bothered to read my post above you would see that I said exactly that. But we cannot control what the facility does, we can only control what we do. Two wrongs don't make one right. That means, the MT either negotiates higher pay, finds a new job or gets out of the industry completely. By continuing to work the way she is, she is putting patients at risk.
All right, I've made my point here. We will have to agree to disagree. Have a nice day.
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
Medware does. Has their own training facility over there. nm

Any acute care facility. sm
That's the thing about hospitals - they run 24/7 - 365.
Regarding no work - if a facility is running
low on work and they have an inhouse staff, they will withhold work from MTSOs to keep their own employees busy. Just makes common sense.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
In what state is the facility located?
Anyone ever hear of Spine One Medical Facility?

More than 1/2 the time you don't get actual facility samples, tho, just

Or to work in an outside facility. Good luck to ya! :) nm

Depends on how long it takes to get your ID from the facility. SM
Once that happens, they get you installed and going pretty quickly.
You can probably call them about the Lanier unit to see if they have any to rent to own.
When I worked with them, the insurance was very expensive and not very good. They have promised to get better, but that has been going on for a long, long time.
General Facility with a cast of TTers.

MW has it's own training in facility in India, so offshoring is growing with them. nm
MW India
Directly
No use taking things up with them directly, nothing ever changes, it is their way or the highway. Furthermore, they will never return your phone calls.
As far as not wanting you to post on message boards, hmmmm wonder why? Do you think maybe they know they do not have a good reputation and that might get out? Be careful, Big Brother is watching, NOT. This is America Folks chat on!!!!!!
I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
Directly to a hospital.

Look at the post directly below yours or look
at the ads on the job boards.
You might try contacting QA directly ...
I agree, this makes no sense and my guess is all the HIPPA folderol is just a smokescreen this person is throwing up (for whatever I do not wanna deal with this or stick my neck out for ANY reason) ...
alternatively -- I would recommend saving each and every report you type from this person AND THEN flagging the report for QA so you can fill in your own blanks if no one wants to help you. I type several doctors who -- without samples -- speak in some impenetrable monotone ... without my file of samples, their reports would be moth-eaten.
good luck - if your company has a chat board or if contacting someone else on that account/WT might be a (much less convenient and/ or discrete) alternative.
Good luck, Yes, people do actually quit jobs over dictators like that ... too bad so many companies seem to blame the MT and some imaginary work ethic problems when the real problem, imho, is lack of support.
All this turnover of MTs (or any other employee class) is VERY VERY bad for any company's bottom line... but so many companies seem to blame the MT personally ... it poisonous.
I emailed you directly nm

Look at post directly below yours
I contacted them directly and they
told me they were NOT hiring..... Makes me sad :(
She said that the OP directly told her
and other coworkers all these things in instant message.
I've not worked for them directly, but have been...
in contact with the upper management off an on for other matters. Very personable, level-headed, and presumably much SANER than some other company higher-ups that we've all discussed here!
You may want to call and ask them directly on Monday...
but I believe it depends on the way you were hired. If you are an hourly employee, your PTO would be paid at that rate. If you are production based, your PTO rate is paid at your average production over a period of three months. You must maintain a minimum line count though. Rochelle would know better.
loudspeakers directly overhead? I could
ouch
E-mail me directly, I'm not posting it on here
too often, and I don't want them to figure out who I am before I make my decision. All I can tell you on here is, make sure whatever you agree to with them, you GET IT IN WRITING.
Talk to the CFO directly. Don't stand for this.
