QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com
How do the accounts seem. Decent sound and dictators do you think. nm

Was the platform decent and the dictators. Thanks much for responding. nm

Does ANYONE besides MDI pay decent and have that FLEXIBLE scheduling? HELP, please! nm

Pay on time? Flexible schedule? Decent accounts?
I am an employee, and they ARE flexible (as long as you do not abuse)...sm
and there is still plenty of work. Medware has different accounts and platforms so just because 1 account/platform does not have work does not mean that they ALL do not have work. I have worked for other companies that have had NO work, and so far have not had this issue since I have been with Medware. As a matter of fact, the ONLY time work has been low is around a holiday (usually the day after) but picks up VERY quickly, so not an all day thing. I have been with Medware for over a year and am VERY happy! HTH.
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
I don't remember - but it was not long...
I work 6 hours a day and do 2000 lines a day. Their platform is not hard to learn - just took me a few days to get my word Expander loaded and going good.
Been in the biz long enough to remember . .
when there was a shortage of MTs (25-30 years ago) or at least that was my perception, as I had more business than I could handle and docs, MTSOs and hospitals were after ME to do their work - and this was in SoCal where there was some real competition for business and pretty decent money. Now all I see these days is every one of my own doctors walk around with their laptops inputting their own information, all telling me they no longer need to use MTs at all (and seem to gloat over that fact, too).
Have worked for a national MTSO and just hope to be able to hold out for another 10 years or so (mind and body willing and able) if there's enough work for US MTs with a wage that doesn't keep decreasing over time, forget any raises anymore, haven't seen that in almost 10 years.
Good owners, average-low pay, good dictators sm
Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill. Only work when you want. It's a nice p.r.n. position.

Remember, you are covered as long as you have documented Out of Work tickets - sm
You can still qualify for holiday pay if you try to get in your 32 hrs, and receive the NSA message. If there is no work, there is no work and they can't hold your holiday pay.
If you have a good range of dictators...sm
I do radiology and acute care for a facility. There are some doctors I am glad I get paid by minute and there are some that I wish I was not so it all equals out. I read an article some time back about being paid by the minute of dictation is really the more fair way for Transcriptionist to be paid. I have 3-4 docs that I speed up so I do their lines in half the time but still get paid for the whole time. It works for me.
Just remember... proofread! You had a bunch of typos in that long-winded post!

Offshore can barely do good dictators, which is why

Oh, yes, and another thing, VERY FEW ESLs, good dictators!!! NM

MDI, less work? good dictators disappearing?
Is is just me? or am I getting less and less work, more and more difficult dictators, seems the account is seriously over staffed, transcribing reports on the doctors tails, and the reports I do finally get are only the MOST difficult dictators it seems....
Is our work going to India after all?
Good dictators end up on ASR so it can only get worse. My accounts are all picked over.
:
Ummm...No, large account I'm on just has good dictators....
It's on EditScript, and I was system receiving alerts of higher priority jobs coming through and I accepted them. The dictators were by and large very good and many of the reports required minimal editing.
It's luck of the draw when it comes to being placed on an account. I am very grateful to have been hired for the account I'm on.
Sorry you apparently aren't as happy. I hope your day gets better.
The pay was decent and everything was good except
I never knew how much work I would have - sometimes too much and sometimes not enough. That was a while back, though.
Unlike the poster below, I did not find the ESLs good dictators at FN. sm
In fact, in my over 20 years of experience, they were the worst I have ever heard. We got way more than 3 e-mails a day, too. More like 10 to 15, beginning for help and sometimes bordering on threatening. If you are really good with ESLs, you MIGHT do okay. But who wants to put up with that?!? No bennies either. Glad I am long long gone. The grass really is greener.
Of course it's good, but with the awful dictators and the trash dictation we get anymore, this ki

not flexible at all. they are scatterbrained and it was NOT a good experience.
I was so excited to work for them and it was a nightmare. QA is not a good thing at DTS.
Who are the good companies that do ASR and pay a decent rate?
I have been an MT a long time - 19 yrs and I am interested in learning ASR, but I need to get informed and rate, companies, realist expectations on lph, etc. If you can help me out and share your knowledge, I would really appreciate it. TIA. I am going to try to line my e-mail in here, so you can e-mail me if you would like.
Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
I actually hope that they don't change, but I know that it is a big hassle for the office because they are in the middle. Too big to be individual coverage rates and too small for the best rates. I talked with the HR manager, and she told me that the rates they were given for one company tripled once all the worksheets were in. They based the price on the worst case scenario or worst health. Now they can get a flat rate but only if half of the FT employees sign up. I could here the frustration in her voice when I was talking to her. Insurance companies do not always play fair.
I've been there a couple of years and it has been a good fit for me, very flexible with my schedu
as long as production is being met. We are definitely a growing company and sounds like you have the experience that we need. Paychecks have been always on time for me, direct deposit.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

Good luck - remember most of us want that too. (sm)
And all of us have other obligations to schedule our work around. Perhaps you should try working in an office situation.
MT work is 24 hours 7 days a week, holidays included, and we ALL have to bend and give a little to make it work.
Remember - those people overseas will work whenever and are taking our work at a rapid enough rate.
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
WebMedX is a good company. Decent pay for high level acute care
They have excellent account managers and a great QA dept. The platform is really quite easy with the improvements they have made, and they are constantly working to make it even better. Everything is geared to making the MT's job easier. I have been with WMX for over a year and I am quite pleased with them.
No PT bennies. Easy interview, but don't remember details. Good luck. NM

When I find decent people who know the value of decent wages, I will!

Thanks. Can you make any decent pay with them and are the accounts decent. What is your feeling
that. Thank you.
How flexible is flexible? A window of time? nm

I heard pay is good, but you have to pay for long

As long as you don't need benefits, good place.

Seems like the good ones are staying a long time
I know many who have been there 2, 3, and some 4 years. Volumes are up right now, and we've had several new accounts go live in the last couple of months as well.
I have been with co for a long time. I have it pretty good, but new

My training was good. It was about an hour long and then I was sm
working. I love Keystrokes and I love the account I am on. Perhaps the account you were on had 2 ESL doctors come up first. The account I am on in first in, first out, so there are days that I get mostly ESLs and days that I get no ESLs.
Anyone ever start a job and no long afterwards realize it was not a good
fit and feel stupid quitting right away within a month or two.
Interesting and long, good money makers! nm

I love the K. Long reports, good lines.

may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
