of the premium. My husband pays $700+ per month to have coverage for all of us, and my sister pays over $500 for her family. My husband is with a Fortune 500 company, ad my sister is in banking. Sad what this is coming to. They are right to call it a healthcare crisis; right now, you are better off on welfare than working in terms of medical care and costs.

I used to work for a home healthcare agency and we got
one weeks pay for every year we worked there. They were a non-profit agency and so to get rid of any profits made during the year we got bonuses.
Are these companies that are paying less for
reports done by VR and paying 50% or so to the MT also reducing their charges to the hospitals by 50%? I don't think so. I think you all bought lemons and are trying to recoop your losses at our expense.
Where are these companies paying .10 cpl??
I just quit my job about 10 minutes ago...woohoo!! I'm going to enjoy what's left of the summer with my only child and then I'll polish up the resume. In the meantime, I have a few things I can sell on ebay. lol
Companies paying more than 4 for VR
Yes, a cent or 2 more. Still nowhere near enough for the amount of work involved.
Any companies paying .10+/line?
If so, who and where are they??
companies paying late
Why do some companies have to wait one month to pay you and other companies can pay you 3-4 days after you submit payroll? I will and won't ever get that. All I know is you are supposed to get paid the 1st and 15th or every other week, unless the pay day falls on a Saturday or Sunday the check should be in your direct deposit in your bank, no excuses. I have worked for small companies and larger nationals and it just imazes me how one will pay on time and the other will not and always will come up with one excuse after another. But, if you bounce checks because of late pay that you are supposed to get a certain date that does not help either. I guess it all depends on who does the bookkeeping/records/payroll huh? We all work too hard to get late paychecks and it is not fair to any of us.
Are there any companies paying on the 5th and 20th?nm

Any companies paying MTs by the minute?
If you know of any, would you please provide company names?
Hourly paying companies
Can you give me the name of the company? I would appreciate it.
Thank you
These companies are not paying anymore than that.
So, unless she gets her own accounts and cuts out the middle man she's not going to find a company to pay more than 9.5 cpl.
Companies not paying for spaces
Hi everyone: I normally produce at least 1200 lines a day and working with a company that does not pay for spaces. Wow!!! what a diff. Very discourgaged at this point.
My take on weekly paying companies...sm
I have worked for a few weekly paying companies. the dictation was either horrible or they had horrible complicated formatting rules/issues. They seem to want you to jump through hoops for that weekly pay. But that is MY opinion only.
There is one on one of the job boards that pays weekly.
Companies are putting more costs on us and paying us less nm
ww
You are exactly right. It is the crap companies paying by the line. (nm)

companies paying by gross line
Does anyone know any companies that pay by gross line? Any info would be appreciated.
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?
Please!. I am looking. I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day. I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!
Question - have I not been paying attention or are there a lot of new companies advertising. (sm)
I think a lot of the older smaller companies were eaten up by the giants and maybe some new ones are starting. Were these companies out there before and I just didn't notice?
I have seen many companies who want to hire OP people to work from home!

Any national companies out there that allow at-home radiology transcription?
Anyone know of any companies that will accept satellite AND Vista Home?
Just looking for something part-time to supplement my full-time MT position. Work running low consistently.
In the early days, MedQuist said working at home was a benefit, therefore at-home sm
employees did not receive as many benefits as those working in-house. As I believe, it was something like at-home employees got 3 days off a year versus 10 days for the in-office employees -- WHAT?!!! I told them it made no sense to me, since by working at home I was saving them money -- no need to provide office space, equipment, references, utilities, etc. -- yet I get shafted. I was only part-time when they took over the previous company with their great policies, and I told them to kiss where I can't.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
SPI Healthcare Doc
I work there now and am very happy. Make a list of questions you have and when the supervisor calls you, make sure you ask them. That way you won't be misinformed by what you read on this board.
Welcome to Healthcare
Healthcare is a 24/7 industry. If you want to work Monday-Friday perhaps you should change jobs.
Meridian Healthcare
Meridian Healthcare used to be PTS. I worked for PTS, and we ran out of work a lot. There was very poor communication when I was there. When work was low, manager wouldn't respond to emails or voice mail.
Hope that helps!

I heard they only hire ICs for MTs right now but will get employee and benefit package in near future. Payday is 15th and last day of the month. Scheduling is pretty flexible. Everyone I know there is pretty happy. Depends on which account you are assigned to about the extra phone line being needed. Some accts only require 1. Ask the recruiter any questions you might have for further info. Don't rely on this board for everything.

Need info on SPI Healthcare please.
thanks
Meridian Healthcare
I have been with Meridian for about 6 months now. The account I am on uses MedRite and is a pretty busy hospital account. My pay is good, always right,and always on time. The QA staff is great - I have learned a ton from them.
I have to submit a schedule every week with what I plan to work the following week, but it hasn't been a problem when I need to stray from that.
Overall, I am very happy. The platform is great. The account is fairly easily, though it has a few really tough ESLs, I am getting used to them. I have been able to create a ton of normals, so I am pretty fast. My account requires 12,000 lines a pay period to be eligible for PTO.
Good luck!
Meridian Healthcare
Does anyone currently work for this company or have you worked for them recently? How is the pay? Is the work acute care only? What type of platform do they use? Is there a minimum line requirement?
Thanks for any info.
Presbyterian Healthcare?
My job is obviously losing the Presbyterian Healthcare System account. This account is affiliated with Novant Health and is located in Charlotte,North Carolina. Can anyone tell me who picked up this account and where to apply for a job.
Thank you
ASCEND HEALTHCARE
They pay 6 cents per line. I am training there in QA, but there are a lot of administrative details...
ascend healthcare
Any new information on Ascend? Are they paying their MTs on time now? TIA.
Healthcare and recession
we have an aging population, I know I'm one of them. Many actually have health benefits and will have Medicare. Healthcare is pretty recessionproof. Some of your slowdown may be due to the economy, but there is undoubtedly some change in management reason also. If people wait to see the doctor, they will not necessarily get better. Clinic work, however, I think will stay busier than acute care until this medical neglect lands people in the hospital.
meridian healthcare?
any opinions on meridian?
thanks.
Ascend Healthcare?
Anyone care to share your experience with this company?
Meridian Healthcare Solutions
Anyone here work for Meridian Healthcare Solutions. I'm checking them out (thinking of leaving MQ - gasp!) Any info good or bad would be appreciated. I am looking for PT work. Thanks.
Meridian HealthCare Solutions
If this is the service out of Indianapolis, they are excellent to work for. Many great accounts, work is overflowing, no hassles, no fuss, great pay, direct deposit, great training and hourly pay while training.
Try Virtua Healthcare. They have a few hospitals -
Marlton and Voorhees, and I'm not sure if there is another one. I know that Diskriter is currently doing their account, but the hospital is also looking to hire transcriptionists.
Anyone work for Alliance Healthcare? sm
I saw a job opening for radiology with this company and interested in finding out if anyone out there works for them, what you think, what program they use.
Thanks

Are there any MTs/QA with information about Meridian Healthcare Solutions? I could not find a website for them and searched the archives and found just a little info. Interested in the salaried QA position they are hiring for at this time. Any information would be greatly appreciated, even just a website. Thanks! 
Anyone hear of Alliance HealthCare??nm

Alliance HealthCare, good, bad,

Alliance HealthCare Services

They had a QA post on MT Jobs. Thanks!
Meridian Healthcare--Beware
For anyone thinking of taking a job with Meridian, you might want to think twice. Their server or the hospital server seems to go down nearly all the time, and they don't credit you downtime when this happens for hours on end. It is very frustrating. They are also now telling those of us with newer versions of Word 2002 or 2003, and Windows Vista that we need to downgrade our computer software to Word 2000 at our own expense, and if we have any issues, we are basically on our own. So we have to cross our fingers that everything configures okay if we do this. Not sure that will solve their issues with the servers constantly going down. How's that for taking care of your employees?!! I personally am seeking employment elsewhere after putting up with these server issues for over a year.
Meridian Healthcare Solutions
I have been offered a position with the above company. I cannot find anything on them since January of 2005. Does anyone have any recent experience with them??
TIA
hld
no, Meridian Healthcare Solutions
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am looking at a few companies right now and want to get the good, bad and the ugly or indifferent if anyone has any info. It would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any info you could share.
Meridian Healthcare Solutions
I work there. I am quite happy. My account managers have been very flexible about my schedule, which is important to me. There are several different accounts and different account managers, so everything may not be equal, but my pay is always right, always on time, and there is usually work. If there is no work, you are not penalized for not having your quota in. I wish my work were a little more stimulating (I do clinic work), but there is nothing else for me to complain about. The issues that are important to me are present at Meridian. They have been a great company to work for. I don't think that the MedRite program that some of the accounts use is technologically up to date, but I have seen worse. From my own experience, I would encourage anybody to work there. However, I haven't seen things from the QA standpoint, and I certainly haven't been on every account or had every account manager. If you are good and an account doesn't work out for you, I'm sure they would work with you to find a good fit.
