I LOVE cardio, but I have never heard of this company. I sent them my resume, but was just curious if anyone had any experience with them, good or bad. I see these posts about people working and not getting paid, and it is rather scary. I enjoy what I do, but not so much that I want to do it for free. 
Thanks for your help.

So was this job ever posted on the job board?
Did anyone see the real job for traveling transcription? I'm just curious because I cannot find it anywhere. Did the administrator remove the original posting for some reason?
One just posted for that on the job board....
xx
Look further down the board, some posted
Some posts were removed??? for some reason, don't know why, nothing offensive or inflammatory.
So 10 reports as they say 2 to 3 hours, that would be 8 to 18 minutes a report, no idea how long reports are, on unfamiliar dictators, at 2 to 2.5 lines a minute.
These places get out their calculators and think ... HEY!!.
Another job post today, $10-15 an hour they say, $1.10 a page. Really now, 10 to 15 pages an hour.? It is there on MTStars top of list. Grab it???
I am only stating that she posted on another board. I don't know her
one way or the other, you are right. I am not the basher. I just thought that post would clarify what someone else said. That's all. I am not bashing this woman. I am just giving information that I read while posting a question about Transtech on another board
I posted on the main board also - sm
I've worked with MedQuist, Keystrokes, Lee Perfect, AAA Transcription, You See Solutions, using a multitude of platforms - Scribes, Word, WP, Emdat Inscribe, etc. I've worked as an IC and employee. I've used 65 character and gross lines. I worked in the heyday as did many when you could easily get 12 cpl as an IC and employee, but the facts are the facts. I know earn 9 to 10 cpl, character line since that seems to be the most prevailant. I do not like it, but I do it. I've left companies because of crappy platforms (at least in my opinion - others loe them) or issues with being paid. My time is valuable and I will hunt down and find the place that I can make the most. It's time consuming but worth it in the end when you find your niche. It can be frustrating and rewarding in the end. I've earned anywhere from $25 to $50 an hour depending on account, platform, line counting, etc. I'm currently making $30 an hour with a 65 character coiunt and 9.5 cpl.
Just like with every career option there are some who are just better at the job than others. That does not not mean that those who struggle are bad, but someone else can do better and that is not a bad thing either.
Maybe some people are not truly cut out for the job even if they truly want it. Some have higher expectations than others and will never attain the high hourly average. Some are happy just making $15 an hour. Everyone has their own needs and expectations.
I do not see why anyone cannot make close to $25 an hour doing this job. I've been doing it for 20 years - acute care, clinic work, high ESL, etc. and I've always managed to make $25 an hour or more. I do not even like the job anymore, but I'm good at it and I make a really good buck doing it. When I finish my schooling for my next career choice, something I love to do, I'll leave the field knowing full well I will not make near the money I made at MT for quite sometime.
If you are doing Acute Care with high ESL, maybe you need to switch to something else. Regardless, the work is out there - you may have to look for it, but if I cannot average $25 an hour, then I do not want the work and I'll look elsewhere until I find the right fit. I've had to do it before when a company changed platforms, but I eventually found something else and moved on. My time is precious and I'm greedy.
I'm sorry. Posted to the wrong board.
Thanks.
I posted this on the main board as well, but --
take note. There is an error in the above mentioned link. There is a space between con and gress. I had to remove that space in order to get to the site. congress should be all one word, not con gress. just saying. thanks
Why is this posted on the Company board?
?
Before I get screamed at sorry I posted on the wrong board....
my apologies.
He posted comments on the word board
on Jan 25 that there was a lot of misinformation about his company and then made the statement about people going to the source to find out the truth. I think he and empty pockets may be fast friends.
I posted a response on the main board to you
Please read it! Big difference between identify theft from resumes and PHISHING for info to possibly commit identify theft. If you read the article, it says they take the info from the resumes and send PHISHING emails out to people to get more information to commit the crimes, they cannot just commit the crimes with the general info alone that is in the resumes. Obviously, you should never click a link in an email unless you're completely sure who it is from and should never just give your SS# and bank/cc account information out to someone.
I have no idea. It is posted on the job seekers board.

Thank you to all the KS people who posted below - Love this board! NM

I posted this on the main board. Though I would post it here as well.
If you want mandatory credentialling, then do something about the pay range for MTs! 8 cpl does not cut it when you consider the knowledge and education required for a qualified MT.
Coders in the midwest (where I live) who have their CCS make $20/hr with little to no experience! Do not for one minute compare the CMT to the CCS!! AHIMA is taking care of its coders, making sure coders and records techs are acknowledged for their expertise in the heath information industry and compensated for achieving their credentials. The ADHI only wants our money. They have done absolutely nothing for the MT who is credentialed --- 8 cpl or 9 cpl!?!?!!? --- does that sound like we are highly regarded health information professionals to you?
She posted on the main board as well - ridiculous
nm
They have weekend Radiology jobs that were posted on the job board May 8..(sm)
other than that, you would probably have to call. Good Luck!
oops..went back 2 far and posted on wrong board
sorry
I posted on the wrong board .. sorry. But the bank said since she had my passcode (I stupidly sm
kept it hidden in my billfold) that I am liable. My concern is that while I am fighting everything, I will end up on the street. Work had been light and was just trying to turn around, and now this. Sorry to have whined. Desperate times, desperate measures, I guess.
Untrue. You posted a couple times on the Main board.
This looks like exactly the same thing you put there. What, you didn't insult enough people there? Come over to the company board to try to hurt more people who are worried about their incomes? Sick stuff. Get some help.
Read the Sticky post at at the top of the Main board that I posted and that will explain it.

How can a message be confidential if it posted on a public message board? nm
Cardioscribes
Anyone heard back from Cardioscribes, anyone start work with them, any infor at all. Thank you.
Cardioscribes
They are hiring a lot of people but seem to be handling it well and there seems to be enough work. Communication is good and nice people to work for! 
Cardioscribes
I started with Cardioscribes a few weeks ago and like it very much. There is plenty of work. The people are extremely nice and helpful and are always available to answer questions. Communication line is great.
cardioscribes pay
THIS COMPANY IS NOT GOOD ABOUT PAYING ON TIME. THEY EXPECT A TURNAROUND TIME FOR THEIR WORK, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY
Cardioscribes
Has anyone applied and heard back from them? Good, bad or indifferent?
cardioscribes
I have been with them for a month now and I LOVE THEM!!! They are awesome to work for with good accounts, plenty of work and pay on time. Good management support as well.
Cardioscribes pay
i cannot image such a thing happening with this company. if indeed it did happen that way, a simple phone call would clarify any issues. i have been with them for well over a year and have never had a paycheck late and in fact - have been paid promptly each and every time i submit a billing statement. i would like to have the details of your experience. something must have gone terribly wrong.
Cardioscribes
This is a great company to work for. The system is good, the communication is good, and your work schedule is flexible. I have never had a problem getting paid, which of course is the most important thing. If you like cardiology, this is the place to be!
Cardioscribes
I had heard that they did not have set pay days, that sometimes it would be a couple days after invoicing and other times a week. Is this true?
Cardioscribes
I can tell you the platform is a breeze. It will take about 15 minutes to train. Team spirit is wonderful. There is great communication especially when you are getting started. You are not just left hanging. If you know cardio you will not have a problem with any of these accounts. In my opinion, you will love it. Ton of work now and coming up.
Cardioscribes
Was anyone scheduled for training today?
cardioscribes
I have been trying to work with them, but, while I am quite self-sufficient and a self-starter, I do need a little bit of guidance and it doesn't seem to be coming with this company. The first couple of times there was no work, then I got a job, but no samples or idea of how to format. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Let me know how it goes with you.
Cardioscribes...sm please
Are there a lot of ESLs on the accounts? Seems like every place I have ever worked typing cardio....the ESLs far outnumbered the EFLs. Thanks.
Any Cardioscribes MTs know
I had sent all my paperwork to the recruiter and I've been trying to email her but am getting no replies. I started a little before the pay period ended and I'm trying to find out when pay day actually is. Is there a HR dept? I only have IM addresses of people I ask to send my MT jobs. Also, how do you contact QA people? Is there an acct list with contacts on it?
Cardioscribes - I see they are
current information on them? I applied the last time they were doing a big hiring but never heard back from them. Any current MTs working there that can share their experience? I see some posts regarding irregular pay dates - is this still going on or was it just a one time thing? How is the work load, do they have a lot of work? What kind of platform?
Cardioscribes
Guys I am so sad to see such negative posts on here. I have been with the company for a year now. I am the one who wrote the statement about the company thats posted on their site about how employees feel about the company. That is exactly how I felt about the company the day I wrote that and that is exactly how I feel about the company TODAY. I am not spokeperson for the company and I dont even play one on TV. I get paid just like everyone else, per line. I have never missed a check. If there was any kind of discrepancy, I have contacted the person who does our line counts and the issue has always been resolved. If , in fact, I was due more money, then they have wired the money to my account the following day. I have worked for several companies in the past and I was treated horribly. The QA was rude. They didnt even know who i was half of the time or even care. There was a certain amount (line count) I had to type or my employment was terminated, regardless of the fact that I have a family to feed. With Cardioscribes, its nothing like that. They call me by name, they are always helpful and pleasant and they understand that I have a life outside of work, so if things come up (doctor apts, etc), they completely understand. NEVER have I been treated rudely by any employee from either India or the US Cardioscribes family. In fact, I have never seen such friendliness and willingness to help. I am so sorry for those that have had a bad experience with Cardioscribes, but really its just a handful of people who choose to be vocal on a company board, but the majority of Transcriptionist in the cardioscribes family are happy with their jobs. I truly hope that if you are considerating a position with Cardioscribes that you will not be discouraged by a few negative posts. Good luck in all you do.
What's up with Cardioscribes?
Are they reorganizing or was there a massive walk-out? I heard mixed postings here about this company, but thought that for the most part people were happy there. Suddenly all of these top positons even the admin asst is posted. Too bad you can't do one of these jobs remotely, it would be great to get a position like one of those but they are all on site. Anybody heard what's going on over there? Just wondering. TIA.
Cardioscribes
For anyone looking for information on this company, I am more than happy to share my experience. You may e-mail me privately. What I will say here publicly is that this is one of the most dishonest organizations (and I use the word organization very loosely here) I have been involved with. They began with the lie of misleading me into thinking that I was hired by and American-owned company. Then, once I began work, I was told to contact the MediHelp team to ask for files. It became very clear that the file allocation team consisted of all Indian workers. The allocation team lied to me on a daily basis about files being unavailable, and no wonder. Their leader, Rahul, made practice of lying constantly as well. I was liked to about everything from file availability to payroll. I confronted them about it and was fired during the middle of my shift one day. Keep in mind that my supervisor had given me glowing reviews of my work and had asked Rahul to make sure I had enough work each day. Suddenly, during my shift one day, I received the e-mail that I was fired. No phone call, no reason, no anything. My supervisor became very evasive and would not respond to my questions of why. I know why, though. I confronted Rahul and the allocation team about their dishonesty, and suddenly I didn't have a job. But I know for sure that my supervisor and her supervisor sided with the dishonest people and did not stand up for me because they obviously are spineless and they want to protect their own jobs. I can just about guarantee, though, that the Indians will cut them loose in the same cruel way I was treated, and it probably won't be in the distant future. These Indian companies have absolutely no loyalties to anyone. And I should have quit right on the spot when I found out that I had been lied to about the company's ownership. As their recruiter and transcription supervisors are American, you don't know when being hired what the truth is, and they are NOT about to tell you before you're already on the payroll.
cardioscribes
Just got offered a job. I know there are some on here who work for them. Please let me know what you think of them. Tx
Cardioscribes
I was offered a postion with this company over 6 months ago -- I normally will listen to a radio station or 2 via the internet with a local station in my home state or whatever -- I woke up one night to pings going on with my computer and LO and behold it was Cardioscribes tech support -- accessing my computer at 3-4 a.m. Their Indian tech suport when I called was extremely rude and said :they were trying to fix a problem on MY end -- I think not -- they were grabbing my computer -- I then went to Hiwired and paid $90 to have them get my system straight -- I NOW have AVG, cccleaner, smartdefrag, registry fix and advanced system care -- ALL of which are free and run them daily and throughout the day !!!! Might want to try this -- I had a tech from a REPUTABLE company here in America on the East coast telling me he was impressed with the stuff that I have on my computer -- I also have superantispyware run it daily and have never had problems -- EVERY time you are on this site or another its tracking and so many new MTs and even older MTS dont understand that you have to do daily tune ups
Off the box for now cause it is hot and humid here
CardioScribes
 Shannon,I w as offered a jot with them. will you please email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com
Try Cardioscribes and NEMT
question on the Cardioscribes ad..TIA
 If you're an indpendent subcontractor, is it possilble to gain PTO as Cardioscribes mentioned in their add? I've always known PTO goes with employee status.
CardioScribes - anyone work for them - sm
Do they have any ICs? Do you commit to a time frame to work? How is the pay? Is it easy/difficult to get the lines in? E-mail privately if you wish - thanks!
Information on CardioScribes??
Does anyone have current information on CardioScribes? Platform? Pay? QA? Scheduling? Benefits? Treatment of transcriptionists? I see they are advertising on the job board again and I am tempted. Any input greatly appreciated.
CardioScribes platform ? sm
Anyone working for Cardioscribes - can you tell me what text Expander program you are using with their Wordscript platform and if you like it. Thanks!
Cardioscribes - Has anyone that applied in the (sm)
past month actually started working for them yet? I applied but didn't hear anything yet. Older posts imply they are just busy and are getting to applicants. Any information anyone can share? Do they pay on time? How is QA? Is there lots of work? ESL percentage?
CARDIOSCRIBES ROCKS!
I completely agree with Krissy. This is the first job I have LOVED in over a decade. The company is great and it truly has a family feel to it. The problem is that the MTs who ARE happy to be working for Cardiscribes don't have time to reply to every insane response on this forum. Most of us are happy and well-adjusted, and quite frankly too busy with our work to respond to such negativity.
