Is the owner's name Dorothy? (And her
That company's probably that new one based in Emerald City, Kansas.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Email her direct, not your lead. This was being done by the office sm
not the leads. We just pass it on and one more person can cause a delay.
A lot of my MTs have had changes to their schedules and are happy with the changes. I would email Lee or Martha if I were you.

MDI Owner Email
Anyone who is concerned about the email being discussed here should not hesitate to email either your account liaison or myself with your questions or worries.
The best advice I can give is to do the best job that you can. Submit error-free reports. Research words, terms, and phrases you are unfamiliar with. Look up names/addresses. Verify ADT info and demographics. Be as flexible as you can to the needs of your account(s). Don't let the backlogs go out of TAT.
All of our accounts are busy across-the-board. Stretch as much as you can to help keep your accounts in TAT.
All of the above is the best defense toward keeping our jobs and accounts here in the U.S., which MDI is 100% dedicated to doing.
Again, if you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to email your account liaison or myself.
Thanks,
:-)

Owner's email
I am hoping that all MTs for MDI got the email sent out this morning by MDI's owner. She is trying to keep us all informed and reassured. I have read posts over the past few weeks that MTs are out of work or really low in work. I, too, have experienced the same thing. Ask for more work in another account or specialty, even if it means going back on QA to cross train into something new. She says the work is abundant so we have to find out where. She also is going to hire 40-50 more MTs for new accounts starting in 30-60 days. Jump in early and see if perhaps you could share in some of these new accounts. I plan to do just that. She says her door is open for emails, so let's email her personally and skip your TL, as they may not know all the details yet. Good luck everyone and hang in there!
For MDIers re: email from owner
I'm not going to post the email here from the owner that came over today, but if you work for MDI you know what I'm talking about. Any thoughts as to what this means for MTs specifically?
pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, recent management changes, email me if you want
to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer them.
I agree that Dorothy will do whatever she can to
help, but if there is not enough work to go around, then there is nothing she can do about that unless she gets rid of some people. If she switched people off of YOUR account so you could have as much work as you want, obviously those people were switched to another account, so the people on THAT account are going to have less work. Sounds like most of the accounts are running dry right now. There is only so much work and if you have too many people working it just makes sense there will not be enough to go around.
Larry? Sue? Liz? Dorothy? Is that you? nm

Millionaire Dorothy In
To the MT who was *talking* w/ me a few weeks ago re MDI-MD who said Dorothy would be thrilled ...SM
to hear from me.....well, I finally decided to email them about a position. It's sure been long enough, hasn't it? lol I appreciate your encouragement and your help. We'll just have to wait and see if they have a part-time slot for me. I wasn't sure if I ever expressed my appreciation to you then, and I sure hope you see this now and recognize yourself in my subject line. Thanks again!!
Have you talked to Dorothy? I mentioned last week sm
to her that I was having to scrounge all day to get my lines, and she was very helpful -- moving other people off the account and offering to give me a 3rd account. I think if you let her know that you do not have enough work, she'll do what she can to help you. At least, that has been my experience.
And I agree with the other poster ... typically, holiday times are slower everywhere. Most people do not come in for elective procedures and such over the holidays.
Good luck -- hope you find a solution that works. :-)
For the most part, I agree. Dorothy and I have butted heads a few times, sm
but I do believe that she truly cares about the welfare of her MTs, and is not some evil monster sitting on her throne, deliberately overhiring so she can make lots of people suffer. As you pointed out, it is not even good business sense.
I am not on the inside track, so I really do not know what the plan is as far as continuing to hire new MTs when many are complaining there is no work, but I have to believe there is some kind of plan. I have been fortunate. I was running out of work, and they gave me another account, so I can make my quota. Plus, I just decided I would be stubborn and sit and take the reports whenever I can get them, all day long if I have to do it that way.
I suppose in my dream world, there would always be plenty of work, anytime I want it, with only the best of the docs dictating. But, barring that, I still think MDI-MD is one of the best companies out there to work for, and I wouldn't consider leaving right now.
Speaking of work, I had foot pedal issues last night, so I am behind and should get busy.
Happy New Year, one last time. 
Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
No direct knowledge but
There's a message on the Career Step board by someone who says pay is late and by Paypal. Don't know about the rest but the Paypal payroll would be enough to turn me off.
I have direct deposit.
I love the platform. It is proprietary software but very VERY user friendly. The staff is great and I really do enjoy it here. And I am serious -- make your own opinion. One or 2 bad apples don't outweigh a couple of hundred happy campers. Our insurance is great -- there is sick leave, holiday, PTO .. it's pretty dang good.
Direct deposit. SM
I just filled out a form for my bank on Monday to have another type of payment set up for direct deposit. So, there's obviously something very, very wrong here.
Good luck.
yep - late direct dep is a BIG no-go for me
Yep, I would go bonkers with late pay esp if it is direct deposit. Definitely a sign of internal problems and TOTALLY unacceptable to me. Mailed checks have an excuse, but direct deposit never has one. I have very limited free time and need to schedule when I will do things and if my pay is late it screws up my entire week.
Another reason I am glad I did not get hired there.
They pay be direct deposit
Good luck with getting the phone answered. Does their manager not have a number to call?
Yes, they do have direct deposit. nm

You are so right about going to the doctor direct!
You can do that and make great money, the only problem is, what to do when you need time off. I've actually been the one to cover all these years (17 years experience) than be the one to ask for coverage. Also, you must make yourself, I think, a little more available for phone calls, STAT requests, doctor getting a bug in his you know what! Sometimes, it is easier to let a company do that for you. No contact, means less headaches! Like I said, I have done all of it, and I'm still providing for my children. I would at home full-time now with a nice mix as an IC. My husband is full-time, and the kids think it is great to have Mom at home. Pros and cons with everything I guess. It may be the region you live in as well. There is a posting regarding gas prices, which is varying in all of the states, it seems. Have a great day!
Direct deposit
She has direct deposit now. I even got paid a few days early last week.
No direct deposit
Today is payday and direct deposit not there, still waiting for reason. Apparently ADP problem, not TTS, but still!
DIRECT DEPOSIT`
I DID sign up for direct deposit. However, they lost all of my paperwork and paid me as a vendor!! NOT good!!!
Direct deposit
I live 20 miles from them, and it took 4 to 5 days to get my check. The postmark was a timely manner. A lot just depends on the volume of mail going from whereever they mail the checks from.
They just did start direct deposit for IC's about a month or 2 ago. I LOVE IT!!!!
I have direct deposit
My pay is in my account every other Saturday bright and early. They have never been late and never messed up my pay. I think if you don't have DD it arrives the middle of the week.
Direct Deposit?
Can you get your money direct deposited? That's what I do, works great.
Do they do direct deposit? nm

Direct Deposit
I don't know what's going on either. Mine is ALWAYS in the bank on Friday morning, however, when I banked at another bank before this one it was always in there on Saturday morning. This has got me confused. Seems like they would at least have let us know. Hope I don't have some stuff bouncing. I live from payday to payday with as many kids as I have.
I got my direct deposit sm
It was there when I just checked it this morning. Just thought I would give you guys the heads up.
JLG Direct Deposit
Has anyone gotten a straight answer about direct deposit, if/when it will be started again?
Don't they have direct deposit?

direct deposit
Like someone stated, it does take a cycle or two for the DD to happen. You probably will get a paper check in the mail. With any job that I have had, it takes 2 weeks or more to get the first check. Sometimes the company will hold the first pay check and then you will get paid during the next pay cycle for the first 2 weeks that you worked. Just call before making any hasty judgments. Put on the board the company name and ask other MTs, that work at the same company, if they have had problems with getting paid. You are not putting your name on the board, just asking a general question-- this way, you can see if the company has problems with paying on time. Many MTs put info like this on this board and it is very helpful in determining what is a good company to work for.
Direct Deposit and IC
The company I work for just announced that it is unethical business practice to direct deposit paychecks for independent contractors, so they will start mailing us our paychecks which will take a minimum of 2 weeks to get. Where has anyone heard of such a thing??? 
Yes They have direct deposit. nm

Thanks for the information.
direct deposit
If you are talking about the Superior Global out of Plano, Texas, then the answer is no, they do not have direct desposit. The last I heard, they were working on it, so you might check just to make sure, but I am working for them now and my paycheck is mailed out twice a month, usually gets here a day or two early.
direct deposit
Yes, Superior Global does direct deposit. I have been an IC with them for about 6 months and recently became an employee and I have had direct deposit the entire time.
...better yet - direct to the patient.

Direct deposit
...because they could not keep the reserves in the bank. Huh? I don't understand. They still have to pay out the same amount of money each pay day whether it is by check or by direct deposit. I would love to know the real reason why they stopped doing direct deposit. Waiting for a paper check sucks. Then you have to travel to cash or deposit it.
Direct deposit
I have had a couple of MT companies that did not charge me for direct deposit. When my current company told me there was a $5 every 2 weeks for direct deposit, but that it was deductible on my taxes as an expense for a self-employed person, I told them NO THANKS. I hate going to the bank, but will not spend $10 a month to get the money that I have already earned at a pay that is lower that it should be. Give me the check. I will go to the bank when I run other errands to use my time wisely.
Please call me direct at 630-553-3680
Thank you !
Who offers direct deposit for IC?
I have had only one delayed direct deposit and sm
we knew about it in advance. It was an outright error and they admitted it and did not try to tell us some runaround BS. The payroll person put the wrong posting date, one day late, and did not find out until it was after the cut-off time.
Go with direct deposit right away. Snail mail is too unpredictable.
I have a friend who has been IC with them for almost three years (I am newer than her). She told me that she had some problems in the past but not since direct deposit and they always fix them right away.
Make sure you have the dates right though. They threw me at first. If it is a Sat or Sun, they post on Monday not Friday. Once I knew that, I was fine and planned accordingly.
One word of advice is if you have any questions or problems, call Becky as she is the most helpful person I have ever come across working for nationals. She can find an answer or solve anything. I had a problem with a headset a few weeks ago and she had one to me the next day even though it was my fault. I thanked her and told her I hope she never leaves, and she told me she is there forever :)
and almost two years ago. Direct deposit since 9/04. This is why
so many people do not know what is true and what is not.
