In Reply to: webmedx has plenty of work all the time. The posters who sm - anon
out of work on ER accounts. If you type acute work you may have more than enough and that is great, but the ER side is frequently low or out of work and I do have multiple accounts.

The archives said that they ran out of work frequently
and that they outsource to India. Was hoping things had changed. Do they pay for spaces, headers/footers, bold, etc.?
Frequently the work our company gets -
from some accounts is already old and out of TAT before we ever even receive it! Then they squawk about their precious TAT! Half the STATs that come my way aren't marked as such, either. I only find about that it is STAT when I get to the VERY END of the report, and the doctor says, 'Oh, by the way, this report is STAT, and I need it for surgery by 7:00 tomorrow morning, (which as I'm sitting there typing it at 3 in the morning, is only 4 hours away, and I just HAPPEN to be typing at 3 AM because I have insomnia.)
My supervisor actually said today that she wants me to get that ridiculous 'CMT', too! Ex-CUUUSE me? After 30+ years, I don't think 3 little letters of the alphabet are going to earn me any more money, do you? Forget it... I'll work as a checker at K-Mart before I'll waste my hard-earned cash on that stupid 'certification'.
Never fails to amaze me that MTSOs think we MTs are what cause them to 'lose accounts'. No, it's their inept business management that loses accounts. Most of THEM should be fired!
They frequently don't pay or (sm)
pay months later. I worked for them a few years ago and the work was awful. Very bad ESL PA dictating for several doctors on the account I had. They advertised on their web site that they paid for spaces, and I found out they didn't. Their excuse was that they changed software and hadn't changed the web site yet. As far as I know, to this day, the web site hasn't changed. I finally quit when the paycheck wasn't coming...and wasn't coming...and it finally arrived a couple of months later. However, I think I was the lucky one because at the time there were a lot of people not being paid, and I have still read posts about them the last few years, some recent, of people not being paid.
See posts quite frequently here,
out of New Hampshire.
Consider that the most frequently used words
have 3 letters or less, so 25% or more of the space taken by that word would include at least 1 space.
They are frequently under new management because
the majority of the people have no transcription experience and are in it for the money only. It was so bad when I was there the only way to go was up.
frequently job ads say no satellite sm
one person said (so-called PC person) said might be because the signal can be picked up out of air and system/data can be compromised. Not certain this is reason job ads say this for certain.
They offshore. They are frequently changing
how they pay. I was originally offered a cpl rate for MT, then offered another rate to QA the offshore work. Someone in the week or so is saying they are offering to pay like 5 cents per thousand words. I thought the sound quality of the files was poor and the few dictators I listened to not so great. They used to be named something else, but I can't remember what - Transcription Solutions or TSI (I think). They are out of Texas.
If you read through old posts you'll find more info, nothing particularly good.
They have been mentioned frequently lately. Read
the archives and you'll find lots of answers.
I love WMX but WAS frequently running out of...
work on my 3 accounts and 3 work types. I primarily do ER work, can do clinic, but cannot handle acute care and I admit that. Overall, WMX is a GREAT company to work for. A great since of community and family there. They never hesitate to let us know we are appreciated and that we are the reason they make money, and they have the best benefits of any National out here...by far. My one and only problem was work....or lack of it. However, after a long talk with my supe yesterday she now understands and has given me 2 extra accounts for the next month until a new clinic account is added and I will be put on that as my primary. I did have to take a measure that kind of grabbed her attention, BUT I don't think that is the case with supervisory staff. I also don't think the west necessarily knows what the east is up to at times, and though I myself am on the east coast, my primary and secondary, as well as my supe are all on the west coast. Anyway...overall, WMX truly is a great company, I was not looking for something else because I wanted to leave them, but because my hubby has been out of work for 4 months and I need to earn a paycheck, besides the fact that I just love my work.
It is true, mostly overflow accounts and I ran out frequently

Prevention frequently gives free subscriptions. I
guess they think they'll make money when you renew, but they are so full of ads and not much useful information I don't know why anyone would want to renew.
Definitely search archives. Its posted frequently. I know its AOL, and some combo of her name! Try
a search of archives on Keystrokes! Good luck!
I'm glad they pay you on time. When I worked there, they frequently "fudged" sm
on the date they would mail the checks out. In my contract, it stated that they would be mailed from Oldsmar or Tampa (I cannot remember), and they would adjust the postage meter to read the date it was supposed to be sent out, but then the postmark from the post office would be several days later.
My experience was much like the other posters. They hired me at 10 cents per gross line and gave me a crappy account. I was switched to a clinic account, and I was making lines hand over fist, but then they switched me back to the crappy account. And when work would dry up, I'd call and Crystal would just laugh and tell me to take the day off.
I'm glad if they had improved.
We post frequently for a couple of reasons. Not only are we constantly hiring for new business, but
regularly keeps your ad near the top of the list. In my experience, we get far more responses when our ad is in the first ten. Hope that helps explain it.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
This is very interesting. I work in QA for Webmedx. There is NO WORK
Why would they be testing for additional editors when there isn't enough work for those of us who work there now!
I've been smelling something fishy here for a long time now, this just confirms that something is going on that they are not being honest about.
I DON'T work for WebMedX. My cpl
is not part of an incentive plan, 10 cpl is my normal pay, 12 cpl for weekends.
Anyone work for Webmedx?
I would like some recent input on this company. Thanks.
I also work for Webmedx sm
and the platform is slow. I am tired of them telling me it is my ISP. I don't believe that. My lines are falling as well. Don't know what to tell you, but I am in the very same boat you are. Good luck. By the way I have been at Webmedx nearly 4 years.
I work at Webmedx. nm

For those that work for Webmedx how did the
computer ship? I am supposed to start training next week and don't have the computer yet. Just wondering if it ships via FedEx, UPS, or some other method. I'll call Monday to double check on it.
No Work At Webmedx!
Don't waste your time.
I work at Webmedx (sm)
I work at Webmedx and really like it. The platform is very easy to use. When you are first hired you get a week of training to get used to the platform, account specifics, etc., before you are placed on production pay. The company provides many tools to help you be productive (normals stored in the platform, productivity classes, the ability to search past reports, dictation samples provided, etc.). I was hired right out of school so I know that I started on the bottom of the pay scale. They do offer an incentive program based on total lines per week and pay shift differentials for evenings and weekends. You get a flexible 12-hour window, and the benefits are pretty good compared to what other MTSOs are offering. They are really looking for MTs right now so you would not be sitting around and waiting for them to call you back like the other poster mentioned. I was called back right away after my interview. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.

WebMedX- NO WORK?
Anyone else hired for WebMedx recently only to find absolutely NO WORK available?
WebMedx, for those who run out of work . . .
What shifts are you running out of work on? What work types are running out?
No work at Webmedx
Do not waste your time applying, there is no work. They overhire. I have to struggle to get my hours in.....Too bad cause they are all so darn nice.
Currently, no work at Webmedx. FYI
;(
I work at Webmedx
There was a short period of time where work was very low while a new account was getting ready to go live and work was being scattered to new MTs (the norm), but now that we have gone live, I never run out of work. I have a primary, secondary, and tertiary account (rarely ever see my tertiary).
I am very happy here and cannot say anything bad about this company. When work is low during the day hours, you just have to accommodate and work a couple hours in the evening or maybe a few hours on your day off at the end of the week, which doesn't bother me. At least the work is there. :)
Webmedx has ONLY domestic MTs. There is no offshoring.
I work at Webmedx too...
I run out of work on a daily basis. I have 4 accounts and cycle through them all day long if there is work. I so am tired of the double standard of my STM telling me that I need to work a set 8-hour schedule when there is work but who expects me to flex within my 12-hour window when work is low. I don't want to be chained to my computer for 60 hours a week waiting for work... Maybe that's fine with some, but I have a life outside of work and can't just work whenever there happens to be some jobs in my pool.
Work at WebmedX is very low. Many sm
people CANNOT get their lines in even with flexing. There are a couple of accounts that are steady, which the OP must fortunately have, but most are not. Just thought you should know. The Web definitely overhires--has done so consistently in the 3 years I have been there, but work volumes for the last 6 months or so are the worst I've seen yet.
no work at Webmedx
I agree with you Flabbergasted and I also think that our STM's shouldnt troll this board if they do not wish to hear how we feel. The old saying that eavesdroppers always hear ill of themselves really applies here. I have had no work for over a week now. I received a chipper little email telling me that if I was part time or if I HAD A HUSBAND WHO SUPPORTED ME (WTF???) to please flex for the rest of the week! What is this? the 1950's at the Cleaver residence??? Then just for fun our manager goes on an 11 day vacation and we still have NO INFORMATION! Great. Wonderful. And please, please all of you happy little folks out there that are praying us back into higher work volumes, please no need to respond. I know you believe that we can all just click our heels and wish ourselves into a happier work environment. I prefer to actually know what is going on at the facility, even if it means not being employed anymore. The not knowing and waiting around for someone to get back from their vacation to tell us something, is the worst. 
Well, please don't come to Webmedx. Scrounging for work as it is. nm

Why Webmedx? They run out of work all the time. nm

Webmedx does NOT run out of work all the time.
Did you work for them? They are an excellent company to work for and FAR better than Medquist!
How long you been at Webmedx? I currently work there and
think they are a great company except for slow issues. Where you going?
With Webmedx they do require you to work
a schedule, though often there is no work so you have to flex. Some accounts have extremely tight TAT so it is necessary to work a set schedule, some accounts may allow more flexibility.
ditto, I work at Webmedx too. SM
They really value their people if you do your schedule as promised and are not a slacker like some.
Webmedx Radiology work
Does anyone do radiology transcription for Webmedx? How do you like it? Do you make enough money? Thanks, any info really appreciated.
webmedx getting all sorts of work
Don't quit your job. You might not have he work there
If you work for Webmedx, you are using their computer unless you are an IC. nm

I work for Webmedx and HAVE heard of J&J. sm
Webmedx has brought on ICs from other companies before. All of this info isn't going to reach the MTs. As it is in the rest of the industry is the way it is at Webmedx. We hear things through the grapevine often long after they happen. We're on a need-to-know basis, with the top management thinking that MTs don't need to know these things. Webmedx stinks along with the rest of them. They spread their people thin. They rarely promote from within. They just make people take on more and more duties. The best advice is just to get out of this field.
Webmedx radiology MTs?? How are they to work for and good pay?
TIA....
Webmedx is a good company to work (sm)
for. Good benefits, fair pay. They give you a 12-hour window to get your work done. Be forewarned, though, most of their acute care has a GREAT DEAL of ESL dictators. If ESLs are a problem for you, you might want to consider carefully before accepting a job with them. QA is the absolute best. I think my manager is the greatest, don't know about others.
I work for Webmedx. Always on time, always correct pay.

I work for Webmedx and the communication is poor. sm
The MT managers are okay about answering email. However, questions to upper management go unanswered--or even worse are answered with a defensive attitude that you shouldn't be asking questions. I'm suspicious of any individual or company that gets uncomfortable with questions.
Webmedx is the company I am leaving, so that won't work. sm
It's time to move on.
You work for Webmedx and shor 18 hours? sm
Get another account, check the community page, some accounts have OT on them. The work is there, you just have to flex a bit on different accounts and such.
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.

If/when you run out of work at Webmedx how are you allowed to make up? (nm)

I work at Webmedx and am very happy there. Check them out! nm
