Amphion - I highly recommend this professional, fair company
Best of luck!
I do and would highly recommend
Always plenty of work, awesome communication, just an overall wonderful company. I'm going on 2 years with them and have never been happier! Good luck!
I highly recommend . . .
SPi-BPO.
You may have heard that they outsource, but what they actually do is hire people in other countries to do work in those countries.
From numerous conference calls of over 50 people just on my one team, I detected no non-US accents.
(I'm in NC, work out of the Richmond, VA office, and work for agencies in 10 different states.)
Anyway, I don't know what their experience requirement is (and I'm one of those ancient veterans with over 20 years' experience), and I can't seem to find out on their website, though the fact that it does NOT mention a specific experience requirement and the fact that the testing site mentions new grads, it would seem they're more interested in what you know than for how long you've known it.
I'd be surprised if the requirement is all that much because most of the work is disability, mostly psychiatric, some orthopedic, and therefore not so technically dense, if you will.
They even seem like if they do have a policy, they might make an exception if you test well.
Anyway, it's worth checking it out--you can test right on the website.
(Never out of work, very clear dictators, allow use of former reports as templates; full employee status, part-time and full-time, including great benefits--even a few, like 401k, for part-timers, like me; only hire actual MTs as managers, etc.)
Sorry to gush; I really am an MT and not a recruiter, but I've worked for so many lousy companies that it's good finally (again, after 20 years) to be able to highly recommend one.
(And now, in fact, I do need to get back to work--yes, at 1 a.m.--flexible schedules too.)

Good luck, Dawn,

I would highly recommend
them. Pay always on time and direct deposited. Work easy and also as long as you do your work in the required TAT, they basically leave you alone. I would say accept the position, as they are really good to work for. R
I took Webmedx's course, highly recommend it...
I've been an MT for almost 25 years, but was still quite nervous about the exam. The course helped to keep my attention focused on the task at hand, helped to keep me studying faithfully for the duration of the course until I took the exam. I tend to put things off until the last minute, so the weekly webinars & study materials were invaluable in helping me to study consistently and to stay focused on my goal. Also, I learned a lot! The CMT Review Guide showed me my weak areas, but I concentrated my study time on the Language of Medicine, the 2nd ed. BOS, and an anatomy & physiology text. Also read Human Diseases by John H. Dirckx, MD, but I'm not sure that was very helpful. In the Webmedx prep classes, you'll get a lot of very helpful information & handouts, and the review questions will force you into the books!
I work for them and would recommend them highly. Email me if you
want to ask specific questions. oceansonata@aol.com
I cannot recommend Instant Text highly enough...
Here is a link to many many reasons why...

These will tell you why this program is the best thing that ever happened to my production.
Bravo! Great post. I left TT but I will always speak very highly of them.

I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
I left MQ after years and went with a highly rate company on this board (sm)
my account has dried up and I am constantly out of work now...same with backup account. I like the company I'm with and don't want to leave but I HAVE to have a steady account. I realize there are slow times of the year but on this account they have overhired and now it's low a lot of the time.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
TRS I would not recommend a company
simply on the basis of having talked to a recruiter or testing with them without having worked there myself. I myself, did work for them and my experience was a less than pleasant one. Some of their equipment is outdated, dial in systems with so many different numbers that you have a hard time getting on because others have been given the same number, lots of confusion, very little communication and a great deal of turnover. Notice, they always have an ad out and always have openings. The good companies are hard to get on with. The horrible companies like this one are easy. They sing a very sweet tune so beware!
Can someone recommend a company that
of recent experience? I was looking at Transtech but apparently they hire only the best MT's (like Axolotl) and with a lot of current experience. I have 3 years of recent experience after raising my family but 11 years of experience back in the 1990s. Please recommend another company that I could apply to besides Transtech that is not so strict with hiring requirements. No way would I feel comfortable being released from QA after 1 day - I'm not that good and also being allowed to type unlimited reports when they have no idea what I'm putting out. That definitely would not be a good fit for me. I need a company that will work with me and understand that my experience is not all recent. TIA 
recommend company
If you get an answer, please pass it on!!!
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

Can anyone recommend a company who allows you to type on just 1-2 docs M-F? SM
Pays every other week or twice a month, on time. At least paying 8 cpl and with an MT-friendly platform.
Thanks guys!
Know WedMedx,: Recommend. Good company. SM
Hi, Looking. Yes, you have to log in and out--good structure for people who'd love to earn more money if only they could keep their hands clicking. Very nice incentive scale for those who do. Good medical. Rest of benefit package slim, made up for by good earnings IMO.
Platform getting genuinely good now and continually improving; the old slowness people complains about seems to be gone.
Lots of ESL but simply not a problem for pros once familiar with dictators. Assigned accounts so you can get fast. Need more than one as they can empty out during those hours when a lot of people want to work.
Genuinely nice company to work for. Excellent support in a variety of areas. Very helpful education programs and groups to help develop skill levels, both medical knowledge and production. Study groups and monetary assistance getting certification, and more.
BTW, if you sign on, you now get to be called a Medical Content Specialist. Not sure what that means yet, but I'm newly impressed with myself anyway.
Bottom line: Good place for good workers.
Could anyone recommend a company that is fair and doesn't show favoritism?
thank you in advance
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.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Small company GREAT COMPANY
Axolotl is a WONDERFUL company with great benefits and competitive pay. We have maybe 100 MTs but are growing rapidly.
You obviously think highly of yourself
I don't know about you, but I am young at 23. I don't sit with books in my face looking at punctuation. I don't speak correctly or think of things like that in a superior way. You think I proof replies to my supervisor? Think again! Do you think she proofs hers? Don't think so. I have seen typos time and time again, but would I criticise her? Absolutely not. It is just rude. Don't put yourself on a pedestel. It makes you look bad in a huge way. You have no right to tell me I am not ready for anything. If I feel I am and my supervisor sure does, what does that make you? Ignorant. You are just upset and try to belittle people to make you feel better about yourself. I play games, I talk to real people, I do normal things, and I do not proof every little thing that comes my way unless it is called for and posting a reply is not called for, in a chat room is not called for, and in an e-mail is not called for either. Personally, I don't care what forum this is to be honest. I don't care if it were the PROOFING FORUM and particularly don't care if it is an MT Forum. Just don't do it. It is not right. No one wants to be judged all the time. I came here for advice and support and it totally backfired. I think this place stinks. No one is consistent. I will look to my supervisor and coworkers for guidance and they have, I am sure, a lot more experience than most of you in the field and they don't act petty and full of themselves. You all should really be ashamed of yourselves.
I am not proofing any replies, nor will I ever. There is no need to unless you are paying me, are you? Didn't think so! So, please proof and keep them to yourselves or perhaps you are the proofer of this forum and are getting paid? Didn't think so. It is a waste of your valuable time. Go get a friend and try not to grammatically correct them, k?
This is not even a place to make friends or to have someone to look to for guidance. This is like an animal war zone where people give crappy all over the place advice and instead of helping, make someone feel bad.
Good luck to all of you on this forum and I will not return. Like I said, I will turn to someone who actually knows what they are doing.
I don't need a raise so we are clear. I was just simply asking if it were ever done and then I opened a whole new can of crappy worms.
The Best Of Luck To All!
Proof Away and No Need To Respond.
Bye
That's why they are highly praised here. NM

Highly recommended by someone else...
another MT who I have a lot of respect for who worked for them as an IC in the past highly recommended them to me. Said the owner is great and the work is good. They didn't have what I was looking for at the time but I've kept them on my list for future reference!
QA is highly over rated anyway.
Wow! Is all I can say to this post. Who wants to be QA? Not me. I'd rather utilize my skills for the entire document, then fix others errors.
I highly doubt
I would really like the name of the VP that told you that. I don't believe that anyone at Transcend would tell you they were giving the easy work to the offshore people because that is all they can do.
I don't buy it.
I understand now, but I highly
left if they were all turned in to the IRS. They all pretty much treat ICs as employees and require line quotas, set hours (even though they say flexible), and often times that you be logged into a messenger of some sort to clock you. I just went through it, and it was sooooooooo not worth it. At 8.5 cpl, they can have their messenger and their set (but flexible) hours. It's almost uncanny how we are treated more like children than either employee or IC, for that matter. 
highly subjective
I think work loads are subjective and differ from person to person (account to account). I was hired to do a particular clinic and it was lost. Now I am scraping for work - many days sign on and no work available with repeated request for a replacement account and told there are none. So it really just depends. Some people seem to have adequate work loads and others are struggling with no work. Inconsistent.
MDI-MD does, and they are highly thought of unless
you want to work the PRN program which allows you to work at 7 c a line anytime you want. Of course, they say regular schedule is 1 day a weekend, and 24 hours turn around, no schedule, but the fact is they expect you to meet your line requirement, so you sit there 24 hours a day scraping for the lines. Due to overhiring, I am assuming. TAT and all. I'd rather have a time I know the work will be there at 8 c a line rather than overhiring and my scraping. Of course 7 cents a line for anytime you want is about the same. Pick and choose what you like. But as an IC they don't have to promise you work to be there at all. It's in the contract. Perhaps this company wants you to work a shift so they don't overhire for coverage. That is my take on things having been there, done that.
Great company!
I am very happy working for MDI. I have worked for them full time for a few years and part time before that. It is a great company to me and it's very easy for me to be able to call and talk to my TL or anyone above her if I have an problems/concerns/questions. There are lots of negative postings about them on this site, but have not had the bad experiences that they have had. My experience has been nothing but positive!!!!
Great company! (sm)
Good pay, good accounts, flexibility, best MTSO I have ever worked for in my 20 years as an MT. Just started with them a little over a month ago, & couldn't be happier! IC status only, though, but that's not a problem for me. Anything else I can tell you, just let me know 
They are a great company!
QA'd their work for a short while, but it was a second job and couldn't keep up working 2 jobs, so quit at JLG. They are a small, family-like company. The owner is an MT and has had offers to sell out to the big boys. but she loves her company and her employees and will not sell out. If you have a chance to work for them, you will not be sorry!
GREAT company...sm
They are friendly staff as stated, pay is good, but no benefits. But the pay, plenty of available work, and understanding of the company makes up for lack of benefits. I have had family illness over the past several months and they have been understanding. I feel bad for not being as dependable as I was when I first started, but they have really hung in there for me, so I am hoping to return the favor and help them out as much as I can. GREAT company. You cannot go wrong. I was thinking about looking for another job because they have no benefits, but they are just too good to risk that. So, never again, will I even think about that. You will not go wrong with them. I have been with them almost one year and they are as nice as they were from the beginning!
Great company.
I actually wanted to work for them, but I failed their online quiz. The question lines and answer boxes were so close together, I am sure I marked the wrong boxes just because it was impossible to differentiate one question from another. I have been an MT for 18 years. I knew the answers to every one of those questions, except for maybe 1 or 2 I was confused on. I don't know if it was timed or not. If it was timed, maybe that is why I failed. I did the test in between phone calls. Good luck with that!
Great company
I have worked with them since the company started and they have been GREAT!! I can give you names of LOTS of other MTs that agree.
you will see bad listings about them on here but think about the people that it is from--fired and mad people.
AccuStat pays on time and the people are just great to work with.....I can't express that enough!!!
great company
AccuStat is a great company in my opinion. They know your name and do not treat you like a number. Their pay is on time. Their managers are great and their accounts are good too. They are simply a great company to work for.
TRS seems to be a great company
I was slated to start with them. I accepted the position and then decided not to go with them because I could not afford to live with the salary offered. I spoke with Kathy after I decided not to take the position and she seems very honest,polite,and interested in the MTs. I did not have a bad experience, I just declined the position because I could not afford to live with the salary offered.
Great company
I have been with Meridian since October. I get wonderful feedback, great QA people. Pay is every 2 weeks and very fair. I am on MedRite and I love it here.
They are a great company sm
Super flexible scheduling, very nice people to work for, and I always have work. I use EX Text, and I personally do about 7000 lines every two weeks. I do not remember what the line requirement is. I do not know if they are hiring, but I am extremely happy here.
Great company.
They are very employee friendly. I know they are going through some management changes, but show me a company that does not. The owner is an excellent person to work for and takes care of his employees as long as you do what is asked. I would recommend it highly if you are offered a position!!
Great company
I have also been there several years. No complaints.
Good QA people. Steady work.
Pay on time. Good people to work with and to work for. I have been to their office and met all the QA people. Have met the owner personally.
great company
s
This a great company. What is the sm
use of saying run, run without giving any other info? It's a waste of a read. I worked for TN and they are wonderful people and always paid on time. The best place I have ever worked. I left due to health reasons.
Great company
I have been with them since March, they are a very fair and honest company to work for. I have had no problems with them. Absolutely no complaints here
DSG great company
DSG is a great company to work for--I have been there for a couple years...I believe it must be one of the best!
