Great benefits don't help if the work isn't there.
Posted By: BTDT and quit in frustration. sm on 2008-03-11
In Reply to: Precyse looks like they have excellent benefits. (sm) - Is it just me?
It's been a while and maybe they've gotten better. The recruiter at the time was less than above-board with me. Try to find current employees to talk to.

They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three

Great benefits, plenty of work, pay on time
Depending on experience, slightly above-average pay. I used to be with a company where I would have given my right arm for those few simple things. As for the posts below regarding line count, IF this (or any other concern) was affecting my work, there's a new invention called a telephone that comes in handy when wanting to address concerns (and their phone number is on their website).
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
No more great benefits. Only if you are
xx
Yes, they have sick pay and PTO, great benefits...sm
I've worked for TH for a long time, have taken sick time, and have never been fired for it. Ridiculous.
Benefits don't sound that great to me.
They may be better than some, but certainly not great.
$15-18 is great, but what if ya' need health benefits?
Sometimes those premiums can be pricey in private practice. Not what the OP asked, but just adding by 2 cents.
They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
Webmedx is great for me; good benefits, sm
PTO, reasonable insurance cost. Plenty of work, decent platform (although we had some trouble last week but that's rare). I realize one company can't be right for everyone, but Webmedx has been great for me. 8 years and counting.
I bet the benefits aren't so great anymore.
Everywhere business are taking a hit and passing it on to their employees. Good insurance now at a company is one where you aren't spending more than $300 a month and you have just co-pays or a very small deductible.
Wages are frozen, people being fired for budget costs, everyone's doing two or more jobs and getting paid for one.
It would probably be a big blow to go back for a lot of people. The work place isn't the way it used to be anymore. Sad.
Seem to have great benefits, which start after a month of employment. sm
Pay is so-so, level III 8 cpl, level IV 8.5 cpl, level V (high ESL) 9 cpl. Everyone seems very friendly and helpful.
Good luck! 
Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
TransHealth has great benefits, PTO, paid holidays for fulltimers. nm
Hourly pay, great benefits, schedule depends upon which accounts...sm
you are QAing. Solid company. Good luck!
Great office staff, okay pay, no benefits, horrible ESL all accounts...NM

My hubs retired as a fire captain. Great benefits, thank God! nm

Gotta agree -- YOG was the best! Great pay, good benefits. I quit sm
the moment I heard she had sold to MQ .. ugh.
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm
incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time. The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus. I have been there since October and am very happy. Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.
Good luck!
Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck!
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
Web site is www.mditrans.net. If you need anymore info, feel free to ask.
Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
you have to have work to pay for the benefits
I started with them and had NO work for an entire week. I gave up and quit and then they didn't pay the training bonus pay and I had to go to the attorney general!
No benefits and lately no work...NM

Does MDI-Fl have steady work? Are there benefits
nm
Sounds like you want to work PT, but get the benefits of FT!
There are minimum requirements so that the employee must work in order to get health insurance, PTO, etc. Why on earth would an employer offer someone a FT employee status, but then not put any kind of line requirement on them? That's just absurd.
As a manager of a transcription department at a hospital that pays their MTs hourly plus incentive, if I didn't have minimum production standards in place, I'd have a bunch of hourly employees taking a million breaks and surfing the internet all shift long! And still walking out with a nice paycheck and benefits to boot! And my minutes would be through the roof with doctors screaming at me every minute of every day!
I feel sorry for the company that gives you a job. You're looking to get off easy!
No, that's not true. They work with you. Yes, you have to be FT to get benefits. sm
but that is anywhere. They define FT by 12000 lines per period. They average it out. They take into consideration accounts, volume, slow periods, etc. If you are working FT and not getting the lines you need, they work with you to get there.
Someone is just trying to stir things up here, and I am not sure why, but it is very disheartening to see half-truths and lies about so many companies. I love working for Keystrokes. I average 2500-2700 lines per day but I have been doing this a long time and use my Expander for everything. I have an account that is considered a nightmare to some people, but I think that they come into it with a bad attitude. IMO, any account can be great once you get used to it, with Keystrokes or with any company, as long as the line count is accurate.
May I ask where you who get a decent cpl and benefits work?nm
nm
For IC work? 8 cpl is OK if you are an employee and getting benefits, but for an IC it's awful!

I work for them...benefits this year suck
God help us if we get sick. They deductible is sky high and no meds coverage. I can't believe they boinked us that way. I'm checking into other companies.
I work part-time for them, so I cannot help you regarding benefits. sm
The pay scale seems a bit on the low side (I started at 0.0825), but you are an employee, so they take out taxes and such, which is a plus for me, and you can raise your rate of pay according to how many lines per hour you type. I do not have the tier right in front of me, but it is something like 150-170, add .015 per line; 171-215, .035; 216-230, .05; and so on. I type 300 LPH on my full-time job but cannot seem to average more than 250 at Webmedx, so not sure if it is the way they count lines, or maybe I am just not used to my account yet. The sound quality on some of the hospitals on my account is absolutely AWFUL, and no one seems to be addressing that, so that is a down side.
They have their own platform and supply the computers. Someone said you have the option of using your own computer, but when I asked, they said I had to use theirs, so I don't really know. I would much prefer mine, but I did get a switch so I only have to use one monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
They charge a $125 deposit for the computer, taken out in installments of $25 per pay period, refundable when you quit and return the computer.
The pay is direct deposit and always on time.
I know they have benefits such as medical, dental, and vision, and a 401k, but I do not know the details.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
It is IC work, no benefits, make your own schedule. sm
The pay is a bit on the low side for IC work, but the work is easy, the people are great, and the pay is always on time, once a week, direct deposit. Hope this helps.
It's IC work-- no benefits, although they do pay self-employment tax portion.
Technically, we're hired as SE status (statutory employee status), which means that MDI pays our self-employment taxes to keep us from getting that double tax whammy.
Anyone work for Axolotl? Curious as to cpl & benefits
I've been an MT for 15 years with local clinics & am looking nationally now. Any info would be great....cpl range, insurance costs, PTO, etc. Thanks!
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Agree. Had to leave. Loved it there but no work and no benefits.
nm
I get no benefits where I work and I do 1500-1700 rad reports a pay period. sm
This is the norm, not the exception. If a rad Transcriptionist cannot do 20-25 reports an hour, they need to look at a different field.
Any current information on Medware such as work load, pay, benefits, etc.
Thanks for anything you have.. the good, bad, and ugly.
Good luck to you. Hope they are lenient with the benefits with all the low work. nm

Where I work I was told I had to get them in or be put back to PT status and lose benefits. nm

Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible. Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be. Communication is great, QA is great. The platform is extremely easy. There's plenty of work to go around and then some.
Transhealth editors? Anyone with information on pay, work schedule, benefits, platform
I would appreciate any information before taking their test without knowing the scoop. Thanks!
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???? It's a small national, right? Benefits, running out of work, what kind of accounts,
flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory?
Any opinions on the company would be appreciated. Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info. Thanks.
Need current info on ETransPlus i.e. work load, line rate (ballpark), cost of benefits, SM
and overall treatment of their MTs. I found archived opinions but all old. Is anyone there now that can comment? Thanks!!
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

10 cpl? That's great. And I'd rather have too much work...sm
than to run out of work. I'd gladly work weekends to make 10 CPL.
