Did you write that post?
Care to share some specifics? I see posts in the archives calling her mean and then your post calling her trash, which is not enough to go on to make a decision. Just sounds to me like disgruntled MTs. Care to share your experience? What was it she did that was so awful?
Agree the post(s) are quite obvious. This is not how we write here. SM
This is a fine example of my question: How are editors not having to make major changes to reports coming back from overseas? No matter what anyone is saying, there has to be some major editing. Possibly not so much in regard to medical terminology, but just misuse of proper grammar. This has to be creating a lot of work if you have to edit almost every sentence in a report. But I guess, if the overseas MTs have a doctor dictating who knows our language properly, they get to type verbatim. Just curious how overseas MTs do when they transcribe for an ESL doc from a different country here in the U.S. who is not so efficient at dictating. It has to be a mess.
I would think we can safely assume that. nm

You were QC? ("have left and went on"). No wonder
they are going under. I was QA for SPI before Cymed. You would have been out long, long ago if you had used that kind of grammar at work.

Thanks so much! I feel better since reading your post. I have had experience with
unreasonable QA in the past so it is nice to have a heads up in that regard. Like you, my primary interest is paid on time, good accounts and plenty of work. Sounds like OSi meets those basic requirements and that is all I need. Thanks again!
Per job post you need ŕ-3 years of medical records transcription experience"

Bad Experience with company
Anybody ever quit working for a company and then have them treat you like dirt? I recently gave notice at a company and they wanted to know the reason I was quitting. I was very honest with them about the reason why and they said you are done working for us now. I was in no way unprofessional in my explanation of why I was leaving, and felt I did not deserve that kind of treatment. I was very disappointed in them as I thought they were better than that. I guess I am better off now not working for them.
May not be the best company, but is not bad for experience.
I don't know where they rate as far as companies go. I worked with them for a while and they were okay. The account I was on hardly ever ran out of work, platform was easy, client specs were clear. They followed the BOS.
Good luck to you.
In my experience, a company is not going to wait
for you for a month or so. They will most likely tell you to reapply when you are ready. Best bet in this market is to stick with your company - sounds like the Q - and try out the new company at the same time - Since you are needing bennies, you won't be able to do part-time with your current employer, but that is sort of how it is out here in MT world right now. The jobs are there now, and they have thousands of applications at any given moment. So its best to try to juggle 2 to be sure the new one isn't the same as the old one - which has happened to me so many times that I stuck with my old job. That's very hard to do during the holidays, though, so maybe just wait til the New Year?
Had a horrible experience with this company and could not with a
clear conscious recommend them. Check archives or scroll back to November for details.
This is unbelievable- Anyone experience this from a company
I am an IC with this company working 4 hours in the evenings. True enough, I had to agree to set hours; however within those 4 hours I transcribe a full-time line amount 1000 to 1100 lines. Yesterday,I sent co-owner of the company (supervisor) note saying I needed to stop at 2 p.m instead of 3 p.m. because I needed to see a doctor for my knee and that if I didn't make that appointment I would have to suffer through the weekend with a painful knee. Since this was a spur of the moment appointment and they worked me in, I did not want to miss it. I also informed her that when I returned, I would make up the 1 hour. Well she sent me a message back saying you have stay on line until 3 o'clock, take an ibuprofen and you'll be fine. This dialogue between the 2 of us went on for I know about 10 minutes or more. Then she told me, you still have time to go to a doctor after 3 p.m. You have to stick to your schedule. Now, I had already done 1500 lines at that point, because on Fridays I work 7 to 3 p.m. She went on to say, you agreed to a schedule and you must stick to it. I asked her what about when people have emergencies or things come up you cannot control. She did not want to hear it. I have an in-hospital MT job (for 3 months now) and she said she didn't think my employer would allow me to take off like that. I informed her that my employer would be more than willing to allow me to take off for a medical problem, because they know my health is more important than the job, because if I am not well, I cannot work anyways. Now there are times she ask me to work as much as you can, any day you can, all day if you can. So at those times, I guess it doesn't matter that I don't stick to my schedule. I reminded her that I was a contractor and not one of her employees. My full-time job at the hospital is ran though the County, and there has been mismanagement of the money and they have reduced our hours to 32 a week, which is why I took on the IC position. If I didn't really need this part-time job, you know what I would have told her to do with it. Plus the pay is 10 cpl and it is real easy to get your lines. Oh well, just needed to vent to my fellow MTs.
Would like to know if others experience poor feedback from their company when you need them.
Just simple easy to answer questions are e-mailed. Never get a response. This is so aggravating. But when they need you to do extra work because of the backlog, the e-mails are coming back to back. Are there any companies out there that treat you as if you are more than just a number. I am fed up with eTransPlus.
Can't seem to find any information on MD-IT. Does anyone have any experience with this company?
:-)
I worked for this company and it was the worst experience of my career.
I would advise you to search the archives on this board. You will be able to make your own decision based on that info.
Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?

Anyone currently work for All Type or have recent experience with the company? sm
I'm currently exploring my options, and was impressed with the $1000 signon bonus offered, but wondering about the usual things -- quality and quantity of work available, pay on time, etc.
Any input would be appreciated. 
All-Write
I am looking for some information on this company. Are they flexible? Plenty of work? Do they require a certain amount of lines per day for full time or part time? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
I write down all the
jobs I do. I am an IC and have to submit an invoice each pay period, so I always compare what they have with what I have to be sure it is correct!
write me
I sent you an E-mail, but in case you don't get it, will post on here as well. I left the Q three years ago and now work for a company I really like. They are small. I've recommended them to people in the past and even though I tell them up front what it pays, some think they are the exception. It pays 7 cents and goes to 8 cents after QA...and stays there, but if you're really interested, let me know. The platform is Emdat/InScribe. Very easy once you learn it. Very frustrating until you do :)
No, I haven't been. I told my true experience of working for that company.
I don't have a negative attitude. You're the one who can't handle it when someone disagrees with you.
My experience with quality/quantity with an Indian owned company
|
I worked for an offshore owned company where it was all about quantity. Company even kept a HORRIBLE MT just because she cranked out the lines. Didn't matter her quality was crap and was considered a joke by middle managment. India did most typing but with US edit. Typists changed regularly so it wasn't like they learned to do better. Quality would improve slightly and then would notice, after couple of months, that quality was crap again so we knew we were dealing with a new batch of typists. Even so, the push was always on to get the jobs off US edit and send Indian work straight to client. Of course, the clients never knew they were not getting US editing anymore, as they got no price reduction when they no longer had that level of work being done on their jobs. The problem is the facilities accept the crap work so why should the companies change. It took a while but I finally found a US owned company where quality matters. Now one of the first questions I would ask a prospective employer is if they are US owned. |
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area
nm
From my experience, it is all in how the company sets it up to count i.e. footers, headers, spaces
etc.. I work on another platform but I noticed the same thing when I worked for a company and it would me 12 hours to get 1000 lines, and at the time, I had nothing to compare it to. Then, I thought..this is just wrong. Working 12 hours to make $80 is ridiculous so I quite. I went to work for another company...same platform... and routinely do 1500 to 2000 lines a day and I can tell the difference. You know when you do a whole page report and all you end up with is at the max 40 lines.. something is wrong. I'd say keep the best paying and dump the rest. They are obviously shorting you somewhere.
Pleeze don't write another one Flo
OMG that is the most stupid thing I have ever seen next to the first one of course!!
Why would you ask here? Write the recruiter and ask her.

All-Write Transcription
I was wondering what you could tell me about All-Write Transcription. Does anyone here work for them? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Anybody know anything about or work for Med-Write?...
Looking for any information. Thanks.

Write One Transcription
Hello all! Writing to ask about a company called Write Now Transcription...anyone works/worked for them, etc? Heard from them today. 
Yes and another reason I write
them down is sometimes, they will email me for missing work and I can go back and see when I sent it back to them and get it straightened out. If I had not written it down, I could still find it in the logs on the computer, but it is much easier to just loko at that date on my paper.
This could be your own opportunity to write your

Yikes .. right, not write. nm
Interesting. What exactly is it you write?

Have you ever heard of tax write off? sm
Either give it to the government or let employees enjoy it as a write off. More companies should do this sort of thing for bonuses, MT week, Christmas, etc.
If you don't like it, move on and build your own company. When the up and ups in a company does is not really anyone's business but the business owners.
Which company is this? I post here all the
time and would like to know if my company was the culprit. Thanks.
Post an ad = company doing bad. Don't post = company doing bad. If we
did not have something to complain about, what could we possibly do with all that spare time?????????
Why post this if you are not going to say the company name?
Have to post about this company now...
Hi all, I've been through the grind over the last few years like so many MTs trying to piece together IC work, getting a good job here and there only to be forced into VR with as much as 60% pay cuts, etc. etc., so I just wanted to say for a change, THANK YOU to the one company that has kept me afloat through all this misery. It's a small company that I've worked for over a year now part time (wish I could be full time, but there just aren't the accounts available). This company is AccuSTAT out of Wisconsin. The pay is above average, the working conditions are great, things are run neatly and sensibly, and it is a pure pleasure to work there, like it used to be at the great smaller MTSOs before 2000. I know, it sounds like I'm some kind of company official plugging this way, but I'm just a lowly MT who kind of stumbled into the job when I needed it the most. As many bad experiences as I've had over the past few years (and posted about here, too), I am just so grateful to them and thought I should say so.
If you have the chance to work for them, I have to put in my 2 dollars and say go for it. With all the pressures on smaller MTSOs today, though, how long can they keep operating in a way that's profitable for the MT as well as for them? It doesn't seem like a good climate these days for any honest company. It does seem like work is starting to trickle back to the States and I hope that continues in a big way (I've taken another job outside of MT to fill in the gaps, hence my name). I hope all the small (and large, if there are any) MTSOs who are such an asset to the industry can hold on until then.
We just never hear about these good companies enough because they seldom have to advertise for MTs, but I think they deserve a mention and some credit for what they do. I know I'll be there as long as they have any work for me. I do hope that some of the hospitals who are tired of poor quality of work and questionable billing practices will take a second look at companies like AccuSTAT that are have always been committed to high standards, and do such a good job of keeping MT morale so high -- always the best way to ensure excellent transcription, IMHO, though so often not even considered these days. OK, off my soapbox, I know I sound nerdy but sometimes you just have to say it out loud.
Anyone know of a company looking for 13 years experience to work flexible part-time shift
I'm getting my real estate license but still want to keep my transcription job part-time. I'm looking for a job that will allow me to work about 20 hours a week and still have the flexibility to show a home on the spur of the moment. Thanks, I would appreciate any info!
Yes, but who takes the time to write
Gheesh...so ridiculous
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
Definitely can be an employee and write these things off.
Turbo Tax walks you through and also your tax advisor can assist you.
To write your senator/congressman
I just put in the name of my senators and I got directed to a home page and I could then E-mail him direct. Which I did telling him that if all of our jobs go overseas then no one would be working to pay his salary. They need to start taxing these companies that do this as they are missing out on a lot of FICA and fed taxes, etc. Don't know if it will do any good but I put in my two cents worth for all of you losing your jobs. Also wonder if the price is going DOWN to the clients, that would be interesting to know.
Good luck to all of you.
Do you want to be one? Write to the recruiters who posted
and maybe they will tell you. That kind of information could cost them their job if posted on a public board. Leave them alone.
