I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this company.  I believe they are located in Texas, I did locate their website, but it had very little information on it as far as contacts etc although I did notice they had offices apparently in the United States and India. Only reason I am asking was I was offered a position with them, did some work for them last night and the supposed QA supervisor when I contacted told me that since these were test files( i.e., files that had already been transcribed but I was doing them to get used to the platform) that I would not be compensated for the files that I had done

Just wondered too, if anyone else with other companies had run into a similar situation,

Thanks

Beware and have something to fall back on.  Seems like things are changing.  VR seems to be about to take over soon while the actual MT work will be going to their India office. 

Of course, Indians own this company.  There is any any work and when there IS work, it is us asking not to use Expanders because the system is TRAINING the voice for CERTAIN dictatorS, mostly the very good dictators, and when there is actual transcription work, the dictators are the MOST AWFUL THINGS i Have ever heard.

Anyone with information on this company? 

Has anyone had issues with pay/line counts at MedScribe?  My line count that I see documented in their system does not match up what I get paid for.

Does anyone work there as an IC??  I see on their web page that they hire ICs but most of the ads say employee status.  Any information would be great! 

Also, apparently there is a company called MedScribe Services.  This one is in Ohio.  Anyone know the website for this one? 

I think there is one called Meditech. That might be the one you heard as Med Check? I'm not familiar with it myself, but I think I've seen that on here before. Hope this helps some.

Sorry guys, but I have one more question to ask.  I have worked in PACS, InScribe and some ExText.  I spoke with someone today that has two accounts and she named the systems working from and I asked twice but very poor phone connection and really did not want to ask again.  I was trying to search more information on them but I cannot find anything.  It sounded like the person said Med Check and Aschute or something like that.  Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Do a search of these boards.   Nothing good ever said about them.  Bad company to work for.  The owners berate you, paychecks bounce, can't keep anybody.  Bad people to work for.  I would highly recommend you look somewhere else. 

I'm not a negative person, and I have received high marks with every company I've worked for - including CBay. My opinion on most companies is that one is good for some and not for others. But my experience with CBay was so appalling, that I want to share a word of warning.

CBay has good benefits and they pay for downtime, but the positives stop there and are totally overwhelmed by negatives. The team I was a part of waited for weeks to start our accounts, and we were expected to be patient. Only if you made a point of the fact that you had to leave your other employment to be ready to work for CBay did you receive any compensation. Imagine not being paid for several weeks! Be patient? But that's what happened. Some MTs were paid, and some were not.

And this really paints a picture of the overall working environment. If you were in the know, you could get by a little better than some. For instance, when a virus wiped out the system for about a day, a supervisor said we needed to move our schedules around to compensate. But if you were smart and talked with personel, you learned this was not necessary at all. Downtime should have been paid - period. Some MTs got that downtime and some did not. 

If you are a good MT and pride yourself in your work, you might think you would never get fired, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are very quick to fire people. 

Although my group's part in CBay was very small compared to how enormous the company is, all three supervisors were dishonest in some way, whether it dealt with downtime pay or something else. A couple of us who were better at transcription were often told privileged information and instructed to not tell anyone. Meanwhile, other girls would ask for this information, and the supervisor would say, I don't know. An organization with that type of game playing and dishonesty at the supervisory level should not be on anyone's list as a great place to work.

There is much more I could say, but my hope is to say enough to protect others from making the terrible mistake I did. Sweatshop does not even begin to describe how CBay degrades its MTs. They should truly be ashamed.

Does anyone know anything about Rice Business Systems? Did they recently acquire Diskriter accounts, including the offices around the country? I did a search because I was interested in the Florida Employee status job and kept coming up with Rice Business Systems. They are also looking for HIM people.

Does anyone know if there has been a change in the way Disriter hires, etc.  Or has this always been a Rice Business Systems company? Any information would be great, because I was hired for the hospital as employee but then it suddenly fell through with no reason and I was offered a diskriter job.  I wonder if it has to do with this Rice business thing.  Thanks in advance for any information.

Does anyone know about this company?  They claim to be flexible and pay for spaces on 65-character line.  Sounds pretty good so far.  Any employees of TTS out there.  Thanks for any information.
