EMTS followup
Posted By: forevertyping on 2006-06-28
In Reply to: question about EMTS - fingers
Well, I took your advice and went to EMTS. I will never look back. They restored my faith in working in transcription. You are correct. They are everything you say and more. Not only are they who they say they are, and do what they say but they treat you with RESPECT. Amazing isn't it? How being true to your word and treating a person with respect means so much these days. I highly recommend every qualified Transcriptionist and potential client check EMTS out. I am there to stay!

EMTS website, working for EMTS
Yes they have a website and you can send a resume on line. I suggest calling their toll free number directly.
I have tested for them, and hope they are as good as I have heard. Can anyone comment on EMTS and is it a good place to work for someone with a lot of experience and a family to support?
DSG followup
DSG1 and 2 are code for US and overseas with most of the work going overseas. DSG has new management and they are lacking to say the least. If you have other options, I would encourage you to follow that path instead. DSG is not the company it used to be.
Followup to your question.
Since I am unsure at this moment who this individual is. But it won't take much to find out. Anyway, I am very sorry that someone had this perceived bad experience but posting things about our company or any other company that are not true is just plain wrong. I direct your attention to the part about dinging somebody for a report. NOT TRUE! It is unfortunate that things like this happen but to date, the individual has not called or emailed me so I can't even begin to fix the problem or discuss it with this individual. Thanks for asking.

There's nothing wrong with a followup
They really are a great company and they'll probably appreciate your interest in working for them.
I've been with them a couple of months. I heard back from them really quickly after testing and got started up right away, but judging from all the ads, they must be adding a lot of new accounts and new people.
Good luck. :)
Followup to your post
I worked for them for 2 days. I quit because they would not send the work when they said and would send more than the number of minutes that I told them I could do in a day. They said they would have the minutes uploaded to your FTP site by 9, it would usually be around noon and if you asked for 10 or 15 minutes of dictation, you could probably bet on closer to 23 or 30. The people were very nice, though.
Resumes, followup, etc.
The posts keep getting removed because of names being used, even though just informational, so PLEASE email the above email. Maybe your resume was not received. Our recruiter is on top of calls and emails (been with us since August and has turned that around since taking it over) and if she did not respond, she did not get it or followed up and you did not get it. If you were referred by someone please say so and please also say that you had sent it in previously. I will make sure that she gets it. However, I know that she does not respond to resumes without the experience necessary, offshore or students, as it says in the ads. She gets several hundred resumes a week and although we are growing, we are very particular about who is being hired, so she automatically does not consider those who do not meet the requirements and resumes/cover letters with typographical errors. Not trying to be rude, just stating facts. If you meet the requirements and did not get a response, send me an email.
Escription followup
I realize I am replying to myself but I did want to make the point that if this big client thinks the files are NOT stored in a database on the internet and I can tell them that they are mistaken, perhaps we can make some headway in our cause to get rid of these people who change everything around so that we make less money.
Followup on comments
I would like to comment on your posts, as it is my help-wanted ad you are discussing. I have attempted to put as many details into my ad as possible, in order to answer all possible questions anyone might have before applying. My ad is not meant to be overbearing, rude, or pushy, but I realize it might appear that way to others because of all of the fine details I have written into it. I have amended the ad many times over the years due to certain situations that have occured. The part about if you love animals is due to the fact that I had a Transcriptionist working with me, who later told me that she did not like animals. Since she did not like animals, it reflected in her work, which is probably because the work did not hold her interest. I have read a lot of really vicious posts about myself and my company, none of which I feel is justified. I am sure I have hurt some feelings when returning test results and when informing others that they do not appear to be compatible with the current position, but I have always been diplomatic in my emails and polite when conducting phone interviews. I would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that I do NOT send out real work, hoping someone will do my job for me. When I test someone, they are typing actual dictation files, but the reports have already been typed and returned to the clinic. When testing potential applicants, I only send out two small dictation files at the most (sometimes only one), and the person below is obviously confused, or is blatently lying. Also, regardless of what some people might be saying/thinking, there are at least four new clinics that open each year. In the past six years, I have had five people leave their jobs voluntarily for their own personal reasons. My newest ad is posted because I have been short-handed for some time now due to all of the unexpected clinics thrown at me and because I recently had a transcriptionist pass away unexpectedly. I personally take the time to train each new person, and I can only handle training one person at a time because I have many other duties during the day, such as invoicing, payroll, emails, phone calls, typing the work from my own assigned clinics, etc. It takes at least one month for each new person to feel comfortable enough to go on their own with the work, so I am constantly behind on getting all of the clinics covered. As soon as one transcriptionist is out of training, I post my help-wanted ad and start all over again. Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hire someone and put them on their own right away, which would make my life a lot easier! However, the vet group I type for is very picky, which I can only blame on myself because they are spoiled and accustomed to having things done a specific way. I could write a book in trying to defend myself and my company name, but, unfortunately, I no longer have the time to chat with other transcriptionists like I used to do years ago. My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site.

My main reason for posting a response is because I realize these posts will remain on the board for a very long time to come, and I am hoping potential applicants are not deterred from applying because of what has been posted at this site. BTW, tradmt, I remember you very well. I send out the questionnaire to everyone that is applying, which alerts me right away when there might be a compatibility problem with the position I am trying to fill. Not only did you have Windows XP and Word 2007, but you also did not have a medical dictionary and other items that I listed in my ad were necessary for the job. I spent a great deal of time answering all of your questions through email and felt I was very polite with my responses, but you apparently took it personally that you were not a good candidate for the position that I needed to fill. Had I hired you, I would have had to wait for you to purchase the necessary items, and we would have experienced many problems because of your work environment, which would have ultimately made you quit in frustration. I send the same questionnaire and tests out to everyone who is applying, and I ultimately choose the most compatible person for the position because it saves a lot of time on both ends. As I recall, after I took the time to respond to your many questions, you sent me a rude email in response. There are times when I tell very qualified transcriptionists that they are not compatiable with the position, simply because I know from past experience that there will be problems and/or delays when getting started in training.
Followup on ChartNet
Just a followup, if anyone is interested...On my second day at MedScribe and transcribed over 1,000 lines. Love the Chartnet and still do not use all of the little shortcuts it offers. You were right about ChartNet.
Precyse feedback followup
Many thanks for all responses. Searched archive messages extensively and found the same picture. Trying to figure out what accounts for this wide range of replies. Would like to fire off a couple of questions and comments to keep this little debate going a bit longer:
RE: me/Well they offshore...Agreed. Offshoring is a HUGE turn-off, especially if it affects work load of stateside employees to any frequently noticeable degree. Just not sure I can afford to cross every single offshore outsourcing company off my list of potential employers. As for the TM/QA not returning IM/emails, I look at it this way. Take the best advantage of the 100% QA time while in training, then cut and run with it, assuming that the account profiles are thorough, clearly lucid. Would much rather have too little or no oversight at all than someone breathing down my neck all the time. All I can do is rely on my best judgment from 20 years of transcribing and keep reminding myself that part of my job is to meet account criteria, follow instructions and not to get my feelings hurt if someone disagrees with me about where to put a comma. If I take issue at all with a correction or instruction, will try to document my case and present it to someone....if nobody is home, then I do what I think is right and best until otherwise instructed. Regarding the advice to get it in writing, my experience tells MS that the best shot anybody hsas is to try to cover all bases during hiring process, especially on scheduling, pay rate and benefits. Don't think I can expect a 100% guarantee of work load. I can't predict the future and neither can they.
RE: Precyse MT/Info on Precyse...Agreed. Independence is the answer. On the work flow issue, in the past I have tried searching for work on different shifts, even checking into the system on my days off, to make up as much difference as possible, assuming I can get away with that. Work slumps are ususally brief and temporary. They told me that I would have one primary and one back-up account. I briefly mentioned having access to a third one and she did not rule that out (it possible). Might be worthwhile to try to negotiate that as as a condition of my employment and get it in writing. What do you think? Encouraged by your comments on WebCorrect, but have one question. She told me their comupter is small. Does that mean a 15 screen? Wonder if I can use my own (Sony) monitor?
RE: nm/I work on ET...Getting ready to show a little ignorance. What is ET?
RE: Daisy/Been there a month now...How long did it take you to get off of 100% QA? They told me that the first QA assessment should be 98.5% or above and line rate adjustment will be made at that point. Were you satisfied with that? You got enough access to samples, templates, etc? Good account profiles provided? If you got used to everything in a month, sounds like you are doing pretty good. If you don't mind, can I ask if you have been transcribing for a long time? Certainly I don't need anybody to hold my hand, can work independently well, but still cautious. The jury's still out. LOL.
RE: HappywithoutPS....You were sort of casual about the system great, pay good, everything great part. On a day-to-day basis, in terms of what makes the job hard or not, those are the things that count the most (sound quality, platform, expander, access to samples, acct profiles, etc). Poor people skills? I transcribe medical reports for a living. I stay hooked up to electronic voices 40 hours a week or more. Expect myself to work well under pressure for my own survival. Deadlines, nit-picking, all part of the scene. Always been that way, always will be. My people skills are the best either. Never felt the need to brownnose, just try to keep myself under the radar, be dependable, do my job, be as good as I can be, etc. Don't look for validation of my self-esteem from others, not family, not friends, not employers, not even spouse. I cover that territory for myself. Control issues? Not me. Had to cut that loose at around age 40 or I really would have lost it. Can't control anything about my life that lies beyond my own nose. Much better off trying to roll with the punches. Of course I work when the work is there. How else can I make a living? By the way, I'm kind of into numbers myself...line count, pay rate, hours worked, paycheck totals, etc. Hey, if I can't get feedback from TM/QA, I am really left with no choice but to make my own decisions and see where that takes me. Surely, I would hear from them when they need to correct me. Hey, it's water off the duck's back.
I am only guessing that the discrepancies may be partly explained by what you do with the cards you are dealt, especially where the accounts are concerned. You either fit or you don't. It's all a roll of the dice anyway. If it's not snake eyes, you move on. Life's too short.
Hope to get a few more hits before laying this issue to rest. Thanks for all the help.
after your interview did YOU ever place a followup
When to call for a followup to an interview?
I had a telephone interview last week and was told I would hear from another department in my state soon to interview. I was told that my information would be sent to the office in my location. A week has gone by and I have not heard anything. I do not want to appear pushy, but should I call and inquire why I have not heard from anyone or is this too soon. This is for an outside position I really want.
Great followup email
Finally! The way I've been doing things for years and years is finally going to pay off for me.
I go over my reports a 2nd time and try to get all blanks before submitting. Do you all remember back in the day BEFORE there was any official QA? It was the MT!!
:)
assigned work followup
 I would not have cared so much had I not already worked a FULL month of overtime. Also, it was radiology which I cannot stand! If I wanted to do radiology I would have kept my other job. Not only are these short and do not give lines, they just stink. Just my opinion. Sorry all MTs who like doing them, I do not.
I applied, tested, returned my paperwork and NOTHING.. no followup ...NOTHING
Disorganization is my number 1 pet peeve and reason for NOT going any further with a company. I used my time to apply and test and fax paperwork back so you'd think they could have done their part and at least followed up. I could even assume that maybe they didn't get my paperwork, that does happen with fax machines, but you would have thought someone would have emailed, called, something to ask where it was. I would not accept a position with a company like that. My thoughts are this....if they are so unorganized that they cannot receive the paperwork and get you going, then am I sure that I will get my checks on time and that they will not get ignored or put aside. So, for me, I'd give them a thumbs down.
eMTS, sm
I'm just starting with them and so far they look and sound great!! I'm very impressed with them and hope to be with them for a long, long time:)
EMTS
They are in Miami area, offshore, and have been around for some time. Owner seems to be a decent sort.
emts
Run run run
EMTS
To get to the website, by the way just type in your search engine EMTS medical transcription. I believe it is a e-MTS, but you will get there either way.
eMTS
I saw a job post for eMTS. It sounds really good. How good is it? Anybody working there that could give some inside scoop would be greatly appreciated! I'm happy where I'm at, but I'm afraid I've about topped out money wise, and the work has been running out continuously for the past couple of months. Help!
Still looking for....eMTS
I previously asked for information from MTs working for eMTS regarding your platform. Do you go through Citrex to entry the platform? What about your line count, give me a ballpark figure for a full day. Thanks
eMTS
Anyone working for eMTS please email me good, bad, ugly. TIA
*****eMTS******
eMTS has been posting for jobs. Anyone have any info on this company. Please respond via post or e-mail. Thanks in advance.
eMTS
Any feedback on eMTS?
eMTS
Anyone start with eMTS ? They were hiring not too long ago. Wondering how they are. Thanks.
EMTS
FANTASTIC COMPANY!!! Great people to work for who appreciate their MTs. Very very few ESLs. They will pay what they say they pay. They pay on time. They have great benefits. Very little turn over. They are only hiring because they are growing. I worked for services and hospitals for over 20 years and I can say this company is the BEST I have ever worked for.
Your quality has to be very good, and you must be reliable, but they will in turn be flexible to you, take great care of you and make sure that you are happy. Now CALL THEM, and FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF! EMTS is WONDERFUL!
emts
I love eMTS. I joined their group at the beginning of this year coming from MQ. What a difference! I truly can say that I enjoy being a Transcriptionist again whereas I was stagnating with MQ. These people really care and tons of work. They are flexible on schedules. Great pay, good benefits. I can't say enough about this firm. I work for the eMTS out of Florida. You have to be primo on your transcription, however, as they only hire the best of the best.

EMTS
Do they still use CeQuence (sp)???
eMTS
Anyone work here or know about this company? Thank you.
eMTS
I do not have any personal experience with this company but do have it on my list of potential employers if I need to make a move in the future. Somewhere along the line I heard they were a good company to check out. Sorry I cannot be more help though.
eMTS
Absolutely loved working for the company!!! The people are GREAT! Easy to work for and with! Paid on time, plenty of communication! I would go back to work for them but have moved and can only get satellite....sigh. Otherwise, I'd jump at the opportunity again!
eMTS
I have been working for them for almost 2 years coming from MQ. I simply love the people. There tell it like it is and are very supportive. Their QA people are all on the same page and you have open communication always. This is not just a company but a FAMILY to work with. I hope to be here always. Great benefits, bonuses, etcetera.
Anyone know anything about EMTS?
There is a new job posted on the job board advertising a $2000 sign-on bonus. It doesn't say what you have to do to get the bonus, but the description sounds good (I know, they all sound good in writing!!).
I am wondering if any of you out there have any info about them? I am with MQ now, not sure what the future holds with them!!
Also, how difficult is it to get a job with another company if you are not a certified MT? I have been doing this for 11 years now, my mother-in-law owned her own MT business for 30+ years. She sold her business to another company, eventually MQ bought them out. Is there anyone out there who changed companies who was not certified?
Thanks for any info. Have a good night.
MQ v eMTS
I was offered a job with MQ 2 years ago. But, I did some research and got frightened. So, I went with eMTS. I was on Cquence, and it was fine, but found that I like Chartscript better (which they have too for certain account). Just ask all the needed questions, tell them what you want, and try it out.. change is scary, but do research and somewhere out there will be the job for you. Good luck.
emTS
At eMTS you can work full time transcribing any schedule with benefits. They are hiring right now with 2K sign on bonus. Double check line rate and with or without spaces, as there are different platforms.
eMTS
Look on the board here, and also you can go to the website. Just type in Electronic Medical Transcription Inc in google. You can always e mail your resume and call as follow up. They are pretty good about asking questions. Good luck.
eMTS
Can anyone working for eMTS provide me with any information about how they are to work for, their honestly in line counts, integrity in treating their employees fairly, etc? Much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cathy
Then, the MRC out of Fla would be EMTS.
I worked for them, they are truly wonderful and family oriented. Unfortunately, I worked long and hard to get line counts without spaces even at the higher rate. I often want to go back, but for me personally, if I get paid for spaces, headers, footers, etc. it feels better to see the bigger line counts even at half a cent less per line. If they paid for spaces and h/f, I'd go back there in a heartbeat, because they were the best MTSO ever to work for. I am sure the same will be true for MRC in Maryland. So, it is up to the individual, what they look for in their pay.
emts-software
I just recently started working for EMTS in January of this year. Yes, I made the jump from MQ. Anyway, it is simply a pleasure to work for this outfit. They treat their transcriptionists with dignity and really appreciate their skills. They are very patient and very informative as well as are always building you up through the probation phase. It was hard going from DQS to Softweb but with diligence and hard work, I am now making much more in income than I was before. I think the reason it was difficult for me was it is using MS-word and there was so much that I did not know about it but have learned so much in such a short amount of time and would never go back. They will have to carry me out kicking and screaming, truly a great bunch of people to work with.
What does the eMTS stand for?
And do they have a web site? I am looking for a job and would really like to know more about them or how to send a resume. Thanks!
question about EMTS
I quit MQ and went to work for E-mts. They have tons of work. There are very few ESL doctors which is so wonderful and one of the main reasons I wanted to work for them not to mention the fact that they PAY FOR DOWN TIME. If you have no work, THEY PAY YOU ANYWAY. This is not just lip service. Once in a while, my account will run out of work and I am paid down time. You do have backup accounts also so down time is when their system is down usually but once in a while, you do run out of work but not very often. I am making about 25% more than I was and I have only been with them for 6 months now. They have wonderful QA staff and they also have a mentor who is with you for the first 3 months of your probation. They use DSL but you provide your own computer. The software was something I was not familiar with. That was the most tedious just getting used to the software as it is totally different than DQS but once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze. You can work full time or part time. They are great about time off also as long as they have some advanced warning.
It is such a wonderful change to work for a company that is not too big but big enough that they can offer great benefits, health care, PTO, incentive bonuses as well as great feedback given in a very helpful manner (they treat you like a human being again). Also, they pay you for every key stroke, header, footer, etc. I love working for them and truly enjoy being a Transcriptionist again and have pride in my work again. Be prepared, however, they want quality work 98% or above in accuracy, no slop so really have to be on your toes but it really worth it. I can't praise them enough. 
Wud you please e-mail me about eMTs.
I would like to know how much they pay for acute care MTs?
How much work is required per day?
Is the work a huge pool or do you have your own accounts?
Just curious about this company. . .
One thing more - are these reports ro letters - I hate looking up addresses!!
Thanks
eMTS information
Would anyone please tell me if they work for eMTS using ChartScript and if so, what is the line count like, good, average. Do you think the count is right on their platform? Have been using the same platform for another company and just know the count is not like it should be. Please, any information would be helpful in making a decision regarding this.
eMTS or Transhealth
I have job offers from both eMTS and Transhealth. Not sure which to go with. I would appreciate any input. Thanks!
Be careful with eMTS.
Good company to work for but pay not that good and watch the line counts. They have complete control over what they say your lines are. Have been there a year and am looking to leave, just wating for my last $500 of the $2000 bonus.
eMTS spaces pay
Some say they pay for spaces, some say they don't. In my past experience, they do not, and my line count disappeared over time. For example, a while back, I typed 24.3 minutes in an hour( I type fast and use Expanders and my own normals). I got 212 lines. Can you imagine that. Never found out why...
eMTS feedback
I have been there over a year now. They just switched me from overflow to working on a hospital system, and I am happy as a clam. Ask what kinds of work and platforms they have, what each pays, and they will set you up with what you want and what works for both of you. They keep their transcriptionists because they are happy MTs; obviously they care about the needs of their workers and they don't want turnover. My 2c.
EMTS people - sm
To be full-time, do you have to work a full 8 hours a day or do they let you finish when a certain line count is reached for that day?
Thanks.
Are you sure it's GMTS and not EMTS? nm
