Is this news should have been labeled NEWS ALERT ...
This is breathtaking information and everyone who works at TT or is considering has the right to know. It will be buried with a title like is this news? It seems as if you are responding to the first poster's complaint of no work.
I did not work for Spheris when I used Vianeta. It was a differenc company. nm
:+
Vianeta is a company, too. Our MTSO paid Vianeta to use their platform.

BAD COMPANY ALERT!!!!
Trust me on this one, stay away from D&L Typing Service, Inc.  The worst company I have encountered in my 20+ year working life.  DO NOT accept a job with them.  Treatment of transcriptionists is very very poor.  Pay is terrible.  Checks sent through mail, wrong amounts and late.  Never know when or how much going to be paid, and then impossible to get accounting to return phone calls.  Horrible company. 
You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
MT in Texas: News out today on help from Gov on home foreclosure for you

My favorite news online msnbc.com

This may help you. Just came out today on the news. I missed something on TV saying something about starting 3-31 but check out.
HS bought out by Spheris
I was working for Healthscribe when Spheris bought them out; I have to say that I have had nothing but a positive experience with them thus far.  We don't seem to be micromanaged; quite the contrary.  I can get up and walk around to stretch my legs and at times am gone for 20 minutes or so and no one calls me or e-mails me.  Communication is wonderful from my supervisor on up to management.  The only downside is that they are so short-staffed that there is mandatory overtime for the radiology accounts so if you want to make $$$, this would be the place to go.  Hope this is helpful. 
With Vianetta being bought by Spheris, what happens to companies
that use Vianetta (like JLG)?
But rumor mill has them bought by Spheris,
xx
Here's some good news about Spheris...

They made the Inc. 500 list of the Fastest Growing Companies In The US for 2005. THAT'S something positive for ya!


Good news about Spheris
It just means they are following in MQ's footsteps. Buying people out. Just because you are on the list of Fastest Growing Companies does not make you a good place to work for. They are getting too big too fast.
STAY AWAY FROM SPHERIS!! BAD NEWS!!
The best thing for you would be to stay away from Spheris. I worked there and also worked when it was Edix. Edix was the best, but Spheris is not a very good company to work for. Transcend--I am not sure, had an offer there and never heard back. Softscript--Can't help you there either.
Spheris does what? I've just got done testing for MD-IT. I heard they bought out MediVoxx in Lo

I used to work for a company who had Vianeta.
The platform was pretty good for me. All the DI screen info was filled in for you, and you just added the date of service. It was nice...compared to where I am working now where I have endless areas to fill in. Blech! I liked Vianeta!
They do not offshore. The owner's original company was bought by MQ; started a new company, whic
That's about all I know. I would give them a try. They sounded good!
Is Transliterator a recuiter for a company using VIaneta? Her post sounds like a commercial.
:}
I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it
:+
You know that bought your company so
1 of our fearless leaders did not have to leave TN. True.
If MQ bought the company I work for........
I would quit anyway.
SPI is the company who bought CyMed
Philippines/India/US co. from what I understand
What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

I heard it was to be bought by some company out of the Phillipnes or some such thing.
:)
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?

When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me!  Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy.  I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers.  I am sorry you all are going through this!  I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
thank you for answering. I heard thaat this company bought M-Tec, is this try?...nm

Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

A company in Florida. The bad news
died down and no posts for quite a while, so I thought it got better, but oh, was I wrong.
No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them.  But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work.  They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to.  If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc. 
I thought no news is good news, too. Then got email about

JLG alert

The mysteriously secret and elusive JLG has a purple banner running on top of one of the boards - stating now hiring.  Don't everybody grab their feather quills all at once, now.


 


I did talk to the company today. SM

She is mailing my check via Fed Ex.  The original must have gotten lost in the mail.  My intention was not to post negatives about the company.... and I do not feel that I have.  My original post was to inquire if whether or not anyone else was waiting on a check, as there are some companies that do have problems here and there, whether it be the payroll company they use, etc. 


I am sorry if anybody saw my post as a negative about the company.  It was just an inquiry, that's all, and everything has been resolved quickly and wonderfully.  StatIQ is great place to work and I would never discourage anyone from working for them.


TROLL ALERT
NM
I just spoke with a company from New Jersey today...sm
Rude was not the word for this recruiter...My goodness, makes me think that is the norm in New Jersey.  geez!!!
I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
If no news is good news why is a person
.
I agree - no news is good news - sm
They are busy making sure you have work and want you to stay productive and busy.  What is there to talk about?  I personally like being left alone to do my work.  As long as you get a check and the work keeps flowing, just do your thing! 
MTSO ALERT - WHAT MT WOULD SAY "I'M A SLACKER?"

nm


I got a virus alert when I went to their site

What in the world could it be other than free work?  Try backlog catchup for free!  Horrible... 


You could not be more wrong. Besides, rumor is she sold the company today. nm
Not sure who it was to, but I heard she is somewhere signing papers.  Hope not MQ.  Shame that a good company is giving in to the $$$.
Lawyer alert! Fishing for info!
Looking for biziness??
Ha, ha. I love it. Troll alert! Good one. nm
.
Yes, I clearly remember 'Jasper' posting the first alert
And being accused of being dishonest.

Thanks for trying to give a heads-up early on, Jasper...Being forewarned certainly helps.
The person who posted the job ad today is the owner of the company, not the recruiter.
Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website.  However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

We've been at high alert OT all this week at Webmedx. nm

Just took a test today for a company and I am amazed how rusty I am after not testing for years and
years.  I had to really think about things again.  I guess after you test enough you get used to it.  That is the first one I took in about 13 years.  I just more or less did it to see how it was.  Should be interesting to see how it went because I really dont want to work for the company I just wanted to take the test.  A lot of tricky questions in it.
My company rocks. Got an E-mail today from our manager about cherry picking (sm)

stating they noticed jobs were getting cancelled  once and sometimes twice by same person and that the more difficult dictators were getting picked over.  They stated it would not be tolerated and cherry pickers would  be addressed and possibly terminated. 


I know this is a huge undertaking and may not always get 100% done, but at least they are aware and taking a stand.  Perhaps the guilty people will grow up and take the time to learn those dictators now.  We all know that some of those horrible ESL say virtually the same thing over and over. 


I am just happy that they, once again, prove they are trying to look out for the MTs and MEs and see that we are all treated fairly and equally.  I have been very happy with Webmedx up to this point and now even more so.


All the years I worked for MQ, they knew it happened and I don't think made any attempt to address it.  At WMX at least they must be monitoring it or they wouldn't know the same person kicked the same job back more than once.  


 


 


Sometimes.....NO news is Good news. sm
Maybe you are doing just fine and everything is correct. Maybe they do no feel you need feedback because your quality is excellent!!

Good thought for the day :-) !!
good news and bad news ----
Good - plenty of work, just landed a new acct.

Bad - Check posts from a few weeks back. Out of the blue, everyone got a huge pay cut.
Spheris as a company
They're okay. They are hiring. They have benefits. Decent living? Bawhahahahahahaha! If you give them everything you've got you won't have anything left.

Spheris is okay. They are only slightly less evil than the others. None of these companies are much good. It's the nature of the beast. If you go with a national you sell your soul to the devil for benefits.

I'm getting ready to depart the transcription field. I held on at Spheris for a little over a year, but I keep getting moved to new accounts (a common complaint) and can't get used to a new account long enough to make any money. I've worked for all the major companies and I'm burned out. So go ahead and try other companies. Sooner or later it's all the same thing. You just can't make a decent living at this and it gets worse all the time. So it's not just Spheris - it's the field of transcription that's a problem.
