Nice that they responded, but would've saved..sm
I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.
Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)
I don't know where you live but where I live foreclosures are rising and there are no jobs -- non
I worried about my employer for part of the winter as my accounts grew sparse. I had plan to switch to being an employee with benefits but dared not make the switch in this economy (this was last year this time, got it?)
I figured keeping my seniority was worth whatever security it afforded.
My accounts have rebounded some and I can pay my bills.
By economizing seriously, I have paid off my credit card and put some money aside, just in case. I'm breathing easier, thanks.
So, all in all, I'm not complaining. This last winter was brutal, but I had a job and I paid my bills. When employment rebounds and/or national health goes into effect, people will go to the doctor again and we will be busy.
My part of the world is like a ghost town -- everyone who could left to find work in the city -- many apparently leaving their homes to the banks. Several houses in my vicinity have been on the market more than 4 years.
Forgive me my loyalty ... it pays the bills.
What does yelling at the rest of us do for you?
Does it exist
I am wondering if there is really a company out there that will train or test if someoe has not had any MT classes. I learned how to be an mt long before classes were ever required to do the job. I have experience transcribing and with medical terminology. Have done live transcribing for some doctors offices. If there isn't anything like this does anyone know how to get a job doing standard transcription?? Please help, need a job working at home. The sooner the better. I am tired of scams, I don't have the time to waste.
They do exist ;-)
I just wanted to reply to this and let you know that I am currently working for MRC and totally enjoying it. I think there was an MRC that was bought by Medquist a few years ago, but there is a Medical Records Corporation of Maryland. Hope this helps!!!
Does this exist
Does anyone offer a full-time employee status position with a 24-hour TAT rather than an assigned shift? Thanks in advance for your help.
So, IC does not really exist?
When they employ you with benefits, they think that you are owned by them. And so I thought IC meant working for yourself. That they could not demand hours, that you were a vendor. They could have a turn around time, and quality control. They don't pay benefits, taxes, SS. What's the deal? If these IC companies treat MTs and experienced MTs like this they will soon find none of us working for them. This is crazy. I wish you all luck, because I never realized there were so many controlling companies out there. Why a good manager does not control, but trusts and then the labor will do well in return. Intelligent MTs same thing! What do they think MTs are... brainless? Why our skill is worth money and is rare, good luck to them finding good people after a while...
They exist (sm)
There are companies out there who understand the true meaning of Independent Contractor. I currently am an IC. I have 24-36 hour TAT depending on how busy we are. When I accepted this position, I chose which days I would work each week and I commit to a certain number of minutes daily. If extra work is available, I choose whether or not I will accept any extra work. When I want to take time off, I notify the owner of the company in advance since I have commited to complete a certain amount of work; obviously, if I am not there that work will not be completed. I have worked with other companies who treat their ICs as employees, so those types do exist as well. I know basically from a telephone interview whether or not a position will be a true IC position or whether I will be treated as an employee. 
They do exist sm
I have had 2 offers this very week for straight OPs. One is a C-phone thing and the other platform. One is high pressuring me to take the job, the other offered me 9.5 cpl. THEY DO exist.
The problem is that so many of these gals out there think they are OP note specialists and they are not. The crapola they turn out is incredible (I see in old work, in samples, in my editing capacity because I edit OPs). I think it takes away from those of us who can do it properly. Some companies have gotten to where they won't hire a diva because the standard Basic 4 MTs are better at it. This puts you at a disadvantage, guilt by association.
Keep looking and applying for every job that says OPs in the title and you are bound to come up with something. I share your pain.
11 cpl--Nationals exist!!
Check with MDI in Gaithersburg, MD. If you are absolutely top-notch, they will pay you 11 cpl and you work 2 weekend days per month. You have until 11 PM to complete your lines (at least 1000 for full time and that may have changed) each day, after that, it is a "new day." You certainly can work from 11:01 to 7:00 AM but you don't have to. They are lovely people to work for. Pay is always on time--direct deposit. You would be a statutory employee.
You are right, but do all these things exist
I agree with you but I also agree with the poster above. I believe that person was trying to say at least this company gives a person a chance to make up for something they do not pay for. Most companies that I have worked for including hospitals do not pay for headers and footers where the demographics are mostly already filled in for them by ExText. Unfortunately that is the way the hospital pays and the CFO of the hospital is already outsourcing, so chances are these services are bidding against each other and the MT is last in line on the food chain.
I have not been with TT, but I have worked for 2 years with a reputable company where they are very nice but I saw my line count decrease amazingly. I a transcription who always made at least 1800 lines a day for years was struggling to get 900 a day. Come to find out this place had not been paying me for spaces for almost 2 years and I did not even know it. Also, I believe they have not paid me for Expanders and expanded phrases I created. It was nice to know I was not losing my skill, but awful to have been felt so ripped off by these nice people. I am looking too for a position with everything. And I would be upset not to be paid for headers and footers. The poster above however mentions tiered incentive, quality bonus (which I have never heard of anywhere) and a company which pays for expanders. I guess it sounds good to me. So, have I been conditioned to expect the worst? Maybe. But perhaps you are conditioned to be unhappy in a place you are paid for everything but headers and footers. At least they were not like where I have been ripped off for not even being paid spaces, and all my macros. Good luck to both of you! I hope you find where you are happiest :)
Says does not exist on that site. NM

Because the shortage does not exist. nm

Does such a thing exist?
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a sort of temp agency for on-line work, where you get paid immediately for a day's work? I've had some personal 'drama' in my life and find myself in need of quick cash and payday at my FT job is not for another week. I've looked around the house, but so far the offers are not rolling in for my ScoobyDoo Happy Meal Collection, my half-burned candles, or my Yani cassettes.
Can someone list all the MT companies that exist?
I've tried to find a complete listing of every MT company that exists, but no luck. Can anyone here provide me with that or at least tell me where to get it? Thanks
If such a place does exist....I hope someone will
just post a name....I've left my e-mail before with a couple of valid questions and can't get an answer that way either so not sure what to do...Also, as in post above I'm wrestling with employee versus IC. I always been an employee but it truly does seem all the good jobs are as an IC..
New COO at WMX. Job created just for him, didn't exist before sm
Lots of new hiring at WMX. Me thinks JC is probably behind this, recruiting Spheris/Edix people over there. I will always thing of that scum bag service and Edix, one of the worst, ever.
Wow. Do you at least get a card or any acknowledgment you exist???
Thanks to all who responded! SM
I will definitely ride it out, knowing about the time of year, and use it to build speed with the new work, etc. Glad I posted; I'm a better frame of mind now about the lack of work. 
Thank you to everyone who responded!
I appreciate all of your responses to my dilemna. I will give it more time and hold onto my old job for now also. Thank you to everyone and Happy Holidays!
Thanks to all who responded....
Think I'll pass and not waste my time with the interview.
Thanks, I responded. :)
xx
Thanks so much to everyone that responded, I did
Go and apply with this company and received a *ticket.* I received a message that stated that they would be in touch with me when and if they started hiring and if I met their criteria, fingers crossed. Are you working for them now?
Not true. Bonuses and incentives do exist
and are paid out on time as earned. Have never had any mess-up on my per check incentives nor my quarterly bonuses.
If those opportunities truly exist in this co., then it will be a good thing. s/m
But I've been around long enough that I've heard this all before, and the statistics are not on our side. And even when the MTs DO see an improvement, it can sometimes take 5-10 years to finally trickle down to them, as they are usually at the bottom of the do-do list. I do sincerely hope that I am wrong, and that this company is truly different. Only time will tell.
Does Gibson Medical Transcription in FL still exist? SM
I have tried looking for it, but I can find nothing.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Does Transcription1 in Florida still exist? Any comments

Does Get Back Jack Productions still exist?
Thanks to all the wonderful MTs who have responded to the ads
as well as to all those who have been with us awhile. Sue and I, along with Wendy and Vikki, Nancie, Diane, Pat, and the rest of the staff are so grateful to everyone who helps make this a great place to work and a success. We are very happy that so many new MTs will be joining us.
I know I applied with them, and they never responded.

I responded privately, thank you.

I sent my resume and he responded
back with an email asking if I would be interested in testing. I emailed back and said I didn't mind and asked for their website. He emailed back with their website and said HR would be contacting me soon.
Guess I'll have to wait and see how long that takes! Good luck to you though.
Look further down this post. She responded
yesterday - Bright Universe.
Got your emails and have responded
Thanks so much! The information is truly appreciated. I sent you a reply via email, as well, and I hope you will respond. Thanks again!
Blackswan, sorry nobody has responded.
I have no idea about Orion, though I know there were recent posts here about them. Oracle has always had a negative response. I know I had signed on with them years ago and was so excited and thrilled. Then everything went wrong tech and set up wise. I remember I had to buy PC anywhere, something like that, and then never got my training, dates set and broken by them, etc. That seems to be the norm. Landmark - very low work volumes, and don't pay for spaces. MTs come and go regularly, as accounts seem to come and go regularly. I have always heard fine for PT, but not for full time.
I have not responded yet. It was suggested that
we should let them know when we were ready to train. I figure when It gets to the point when I am not getting my required lines for the pay period, I will left them know I need the training.
I responded for more VR and am getting less work sm
period on my primary account. I spend most times on my secondary and am just making the 11,000 line count per payperiod. I had been hoping to pick up enough extra to make the incentives but that is out of the question. My paycheck is really hurting. I can't work like this much longer.
I'm the person you responded to sm
the milk is for my daughter. Should I have just told her there is no milk and have her use water in her cereal? You are absolutely heartless to ridicule a situation like mine or any other person's.
Do they still exist? Haven't been posted about in a long time. nm

To the person who responded RE: Key Transcription in ND
I looked in the archives and on MT Spot and didn't find anything. Did you work for them previously? If so, would it be okay if I emailed you? If not, could you possibly provide a link to any past threads about this company? I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been offered a position with Key, but I'm having second thoughts, especially since I saw your post. Thanks.
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
To Mary who responded by e-mail (sm)
Thank you. I tried to send a brief message back to you at your e-mail address twice but it came back. Thanks for the info.
okay, your emails finally came and I responded

They responded to my resume within 24-hours and
within 3 days of submitting resume I had an offer. I submitted resume through their website, was unsure if they were even hiring.
It depends on where you live. If you live in their
service area it would be cheaper than outside their service area. I only have rates for out of service area and medical is 139.13 for family or 168.42 depending on what plan you choose. Dental is 20.85 for family, vision is 5.13. These are per pay period.
Individual coverage would be 44.79/54.21 medical, 7.99 dental, and 1.71 vision.
I opted out of insurance as we have through my husband's job. I believe the cheaper insurance is a 70/30 plan and the more expensive an 80/20, not sure about co-pays. Deductibles are $2000 for family, not sure about individual.
A typo does not make it unprofessional. Perfect doesn't exist.
We all do our best, but typos will happen from time to time. Won't matter tomorrow and certainly won't matter next year.
Nandan has been told many times. He never has responded to
what he was told. They had a great team the Spring of 2004 and all left and what was left in management were the remnants with an owner of a co that they purchased from her, so she was it! Everyone else had to listen to her jibberish and kiss her b*tt!!
Good people got away, management caliber. Sad, but that's how they operate
I can only assume that the company which has not responded is either of the opinion that (sm)
if you are seriously interested in the position, you will find a way to take the test -- wav pedal or not, or just haven't had time to respond yet. I've tested without a pedal and, while yes it is more time consuming, it can be done. As far as the dial up is concerned, I would think that if sent them an email requesting their system requirements, the information would be divulged, within a day or so.
I accidentally responded to wrong person
I got trigger-finger happy hehe
I emailed you before for info about KS and you have not responded. I am looking for information sm
on them, and you said that you had a reason for their high turnover. I am trying to make a decision this weekend. ***
Once upon a time, a surgeon responded to my concerns
The girls were tearing up the 3 surgeons up one side and down the other. And OMG, what they had to say about the office manager!!! I felt they were betraying the man who fed them. So...I went into his office and said, Dr., the morale is very low, the office staff are very upset, threatening to find new jobs and I thought it should be addressed during a staff meeting.
His response was: Do not pay attention to what they say. Venting is a necessary part of being a part of the work force (when you are an employee). The doctor brushed it off,did not want to hear the details and he did not really care who was the instigator. He felt that as long as they showed up on time, held up their end of the load and were pleasant with the patients (anorectal surgeons - ouch).
That office staff who whined and complained and ridiculed was with the surgical team for over 10 years - An RN, 2 front office, insurance cler and med Records gal.
Huge Bonuses (which say THANK YOU!) at Christmas brought momentary pleasantness but come mid January, they'd start again, feeding off each other, like a bunch of women at a Sewing Circle (have you seen the pic on this website depicting us as women in a sewing circle, dear?)
Bottom line - it is harmless. If money is there and then not there, without warning, a person who is not complaining about it is the one I'd be curious about.
I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.
I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd. I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.
Have a nice evening or was that eneving. :)
