Few places inside...sm
Dial up: First Choice, Spheris, Precyse only if 37K or faster, and SoftScript.
Satellite allowed: Precyse, TRS, Opti-Script, WebMedX, Probity, and MQ. nm
Really sad where people will readily list places they hated but not name places that are great.
What a wonderful, sharing group of people MTs are. :-(
Benes
WebMedX is less expensive and although Medware's ins. is okay, WebMedX is better, IMO. You can ask their recruiters - they will give you that information. They understand you need to make an informed decision. I've worked for both companies.
I get 11 cpl but still wish I had benes..nm
.
How's the pay/benes? Do they
pay for spaces, headers/footers, demos, etc.? I wish we had a chart that showed who pays for what & their average pay range... ;)
An ad here from April said FT job w/benes, but pay is said to be low and
s
Benes for less than 35 hours
S.O.A.P. does. Great to work for too!
With 10+ yrs, 9 cpl is okay as an employee with benes,
but not good as an IC. You can do better than that.
What are the benes like at Focus?
(Specifically, for QA/QC/auditors.) How much PTO do you get, is health insurance expensive, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Use ExText software, 150 lph to get benes, pay is 7.4-10 cpl. nm

Yes, they offer benes, std 90-day wait....sm
Insurance very affordable. Pay on time, direct deposit. Seem to have plenty of work and set you up with more than 1 account as necessary. DVI platform.
The letter said that the STM has the discretion to not let your benes be s/m
affected. I would not take that as gospel in this day and age.
Wanted to add, that's as an employee with benes.

Yes, and also figured into that is the loss of benes,
sick days, PTO, insurance, etc., that you would get with employee status.
Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs. Line rate, supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book. Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck. Hope this helps.
Old posts had them starting at 6 cpl and topping out at 9 cpl. Don't know about any benes. nm
s
Seems fair, especially if there is a 90 day waiting period for benes just like a new hire. nm
.
8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks
/
I applied recently. They want 1000 lpd, use an FTP site. Didn't say anything about benes for FT.
g
Been both places
I would say you won't better yourself. Of the 2, I'd choose Spheris but I'm not still there either. 
Could you tell me the better places?
What companies are there, if you don't mind, in case I have to look. THANKS!
Most places like you to have in the mid-90s at least. Sorry. nm
s
Some places will let you do Fri., Sat., Sun. Never saw
s
There are other places that pay well.....
I'm SE and 9.5 cpl with 6.5 years of experience.
I have done it several places sm
I love TransTech, I MEAN I REALLY LOVE IT. I am IN love with MT again.
places to go
I know several of us have gone to Encompass, Keystrokes, Webmedx, to memtion a few.
places, places
sorry i got kids screaming at me right now. Thought I better correct it before one of the high and mighties say something.
no more than other places
and it would depend on the account. As in most cases, I have found that after doing the account for a while and getting used to the dictators, there will only be a handful that really continue to be difficult each time you get them, when you sigh because you know it's going to lower your line count.
Maybe you should look other places for
companies rather than just ONE single board. There are MANY companies out there who don't post ads here, and many who don't post ads at all.
Actually, that is cheap. Most places much more. nm
nm
No, there a lot of places that have two divisions.
I just don't think you see it much in transcription companies. I love the small company feel of MDI.
This is going places it never should be, all over a comma. nm
nm
Here's a few places that have been mentioned..sm..
Accuscribe, DSG, Echo Sten-Tel, Execuscribe (just started using it recently), InTouchMI, MQ, and VanBelkum.
Don't know about Good places, but here are a
DeVenture, MedGarde (supposed to be not goodl), Meditech in Georgia, MTS in Mass., NEMT, Nicholas Transcription of New Hampshire (but no pay until the client pays them!), Opti-Script in Penn, and QED. I do not know if these places are currently paying weekly - other than DeVenture - only that they have in the past. Good luck!
Is everything getting counted the same way? Many places don't
s
places to work
Hey, just a shout out to all. Of these companies who are the best to work for. Transolutions, Webmedx, Axolotl or DSG. Anything you have to say about line rate, benefits and equipment provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do any of these places have enough work any more?
Seems like all of the big companies are low on work any more. What gives? How are we supposed to make a living?
Radiology places??
Where to go for great radiology transcription jobs?? I am seeing 6.5 cents to 9 cents a line... i see .75 to $1.15 per job. Things are not like it used to be when you see per job. That is hard when you run out of work as I just left a place that ran out of work paying per report. Any suggestions where to apply?
Two great places
Transcend and Diskriter. Awesome places to work; no drama, no BS, no broken promises.
I've had two places tell me no
I'm not 100% sure, though. I was told I had to have 2003.
Do you work for these 2 places?
I feel ya...ESLs slow me way down once in awhile too!
Sorry, I have worked several places and
never heard of getting a negative line count for a report. No way would I be working there.
I've done VR at 2 different places now....
Both places, I could see old reports and while I'm seeing all these old reports with ridiculous errors and some just downright mind-boggling, I'm seeing the same crap on my screen for me to fix.
So, I'm talking to my supervisor one day about going back to just regular old transcription and she says to me I've got girls doing 3000 plus lines per day on VR, you'll get there eventually. So I said, With good quality? She said yes, of course....I started looking for work right then. Now I come to my 2nd place with VR and I'm getting the same crap. I see these godawful mistakes and no one seems to care. I've pointed them out and have been told If the hospital doesn't complain, don't worry about it.
If I sit here and make these reports good quality, format-wise as well as content, I CANNOT double my line count and I've been doing this for over 10 years. If I just run through them like apparently every one else is doing, I might make some money....at least until someone complains....then I have no job.
I've since gone back to just plain old transcription. My wrists burn, but I'm happy and making money again. I wish you all the best of luck at 4 cpl, which seems to be the going rate. Good luck!!!!
I need to know which places offer VR only for
the Johnsons and Smiths. The place where I work has any and all on including the Jofannsens, Abuggula, Sharnif and the like. That would be a really dream job to have only the very easiest English. Not happening at my place.
Oh boy! You really put all of us in our respective places. I am humbled by your
Give me a break...
Saw them listed as places to do internship (sm)
for MT training from Penn Valley.
just mainly wanting to know if the location was north of the river.
I have found that large places
like hospitals, banks, insurance companies offer the best benefit packages to part-timers. In fact I once worked 10 hours a week at a bank just for the benefits package. PT MT at home with benefits, however, I don't think you will find. It's hard enough finding FT with benefits and the premium isn't $800 a month.
They are completely inflexible. There are places
Don't give them a second thought! You can easily do better for yourself.
Do they have an ad up somewhere? Many places on old lists aren't around any more. nm
s
That is exactly what I was thinking. What is sad is that people want to know where these places are
so they can apply there too. If you'll notice, no one has ever came back on here and said thanks for giving me the information because they are not for real. If anyone could make that editing on ANY platform wouldnt we all be working there. So, thanks for the enlightening and given the people who really believed a reality check.
