Can anyone tell me anything about Hils Transcription in Alabama?
HILS Transcription
Anybody have experience with this company?
I got an email from this company last week. Responded that I was interested in discussing further. No word since. Pay is low - 7.5. They're in Dothan, AL.
Wondering what type of accounts they have?
THanks!
Hils Transcription
They're a little flaky. Pay isn't very good, work is unreliable. No feedback.
Hils Transcription?
Does anybody have any current information on this company and if they are hiring or not?
TIA! 
Hils Transcription
I work for them and love their company. I do not know if they are hiring. If they do not have anything posted, then I assume not. Sorry.
Hils Transcription
If this is the company in Dothan, AL. I worked for Deb Hils for 3 years and loved it. My only reason for leaving was to obtain employee status. Hils is IC basis only. Flexible schedule, wonderful docs, at that time 2002-2005 no ESL docs. Small town, local clinics with relatively repetetive notes making for excellent line count if you use macros/ESP software......FTP platform, MS Word. Very user friendly. She also rewards high production with bonuses at the end of the year.
Highly recommend them, can't go wrong, if you want IC status.
Hils Transcription...anyone have any info?
I am mostly wondering about platform and if the pay is decent. Any information is appreciated! TX

Comment on Keystrokes Transcription Service
I am an employee at Keystrokes for less than a year. I am a Lead Transcriptionist with 27 years experience. I do work from my home (though not my living room - smile). I have worked for a lot of major (and smaller) transcription companies, as well as 2 major hospitals on site and several large medical clinics as an MT and also in management. I said all that to let you know that I really do have a lot of experience in this field.
I love working for Keystrokes. They are a smaller company, but are growing so fast that it is hard for them to keep up with everything. Yes, there have been a lot of changes - the good news is that the changes are to better the company and are beneficial to the employess/ICs.
It is true that it sometimes takes a couple of weeks to get going on an account. That is hard when you want to start tomorrow, but KS does not overhire. Therefore, when they need an MT, they hire that person and then have to get the paperwork back, get clearance and IDs on the account they were hird for, install account-specific software on the MTs computer, and arrange for training from the account Lead. Believe me, when someone is hired, I want them to start today, but it is not possible. However, if they are hired for a specific account, they have a place on that account and the work is there for them. If not, people are placed on secondary accounts.
Like I said, there have been changes. But, unlike some of the companies that make MTs miserable, the changes are things that make KS a better place to work and give added benefits to the MTs. I have not seen one thing taken from MTs. I am a Lead. I try to be available, fair, and friendly. Everyone I answer to does the same thing. If you would like to email me, I have left my email address. I will answer any questions I can.
To those who just want to flame a good company, you should be ashamed. You make many really good MTs decide not to check KS out - which is your intention.
Open to email or questions - happy KS'ER
Hils
Would that be in Dothan, Alabama?
Hils
do not know what your looking for but if you like to get paid, and paid on time and accurately this may not be it. Unless things have changed.
Have you ever heard of Medical Voice Technology Service out of North Carolina?
Hils
Very unprofessional to deal with. Do not honor contract. New office manager handles everything; can't talk to manager. Wants you to work schedule even though there is no work during your scheduled time.
Hils Reply
I work for them. They are a really good company to work for. Lots of friendly/helpful QA's and bosses!
I work for Hils
Hils has an average pay rate. The work depends on the doctor/clinic you are working for through them and the paychecks are done twice a month. You usually get paid 2-3 days after then end of the pay period..depending on if it lands on a weekend or not. Hils is a great company to work for!
Hils questions answered...
They are a great company! I get paid on time all the time! It is usually around 4 days after the last day of the pay period we get paid. I do all of their physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy (with the exception of one account). I am part time and usually work around 20 hrs a week, give or take how busy the offices are. I usually type anywhere from 5000 to almost 7000 lines a half. Pay is good. The QA girls and bosses are awesome! So helpful! A benefit of their company is that you are never out of QA. I know that sounds weird, but it's a great thing because that means two sets of eyes are always looking at the notes before they are sent to the doctors. You still have to do your part and work hard and make sure you try not to leave any blanks, but they are really good if you have a couple still. I still have a P.T. that I leave a blank here and there for...she's an interesting dictator! LOL. I love my account and wouldn't trade it for the world. I hired in at Hils and about a month later purchased a used minivan!!! I make enough money to pay for the van payments, my girls catholic school tuition payments and food/gas for the family/cars. My husband pays the rest. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! I'd be glad to answer any!
Your last comment...
was uncalled for. This MT is simply answering this poll based on his or her worst experience. There is another poll above asking for the best MT company you've ever worked for. If you want to defend Diskriter, post there.

Seems to me that ER MTs double their lines most of the time. I'm a bit worried about Acute Care/Basic 4. Anyone out there doing those reports increase their line count without killing yourself?
Just a comment on it...sm
I'm lucky to have the two large health systems here that employ some MT's but I also know that some hospitals prefer to just find a company (US, out-of-state, or otherwise) to send all their stuff to and let the company organize, back-up and differentiate all of it so the hospital doesn't have to deal with it lots of different employees for their transcription. Understandable theory I suppose; I just wish we could show them that keeping their work local to their immediate city/area would be beneficial too!

I have no doubts about the reason for that rule.

Thank you for helping me to wake up and smell the printer ink!
Being an MT has definitely changed my attitude towards the world and people in general. This is really sad. I find myself struggling on a daily basis, just kind of wondering and waiting for the end to come.
Your post made my day. It validated my experience of this past week as something that I need to consider seriously. My eyes were opened; actually, I was kind of shocked. I had been invited to a presentation where I met an entirely different group of people, in another industry, which is similar to ours in that it is still health-related, but it is Wellness, and does not involve any transcription. Those people were so happy, positive, successful, and rich, and one lady told me that she does 99% of her work from home and during a bad month she earns ONLY $7000. So, I'm now considering a career change. I love my dogs, really. But, I want to live in a world where I like the people, too.
With this addition to my life, I suspect that I will not be so stressed out with regards to MT, and will still continue my somewhat, sometimes enjoyable MT job on a part-time basis. When you don't really need the money and you kind of just do it for FUN, it takes on a different flavor, I'm sure.
Thank you again!
My comment was to YOU

This also would depend on how much notice she is giving regarding taking time off. If she is constantly taking time off with very little advanced notice for nonemergencies, it seems like adequate grounds for dismissal.
comment on what you want but sm
i have seen you pick at others for posting comments that have nothing to do iwth the post. But I guess thats ok for you and nobody else....right?
oh my god, what a disgrace you are for your comment - sm
If you feel that strongly about your job, no matter what it is, then get out and do something else. Nobody is making you a slave. I'm sure you have other skills.
And while you are out searching for another career, talk to your therapist about upping the medications you are on. Because the comments you made are deeply troublesome and psychotic in every way.
Care to comment?? NM

MedWare QA comment
I'm not sure how you can get ZERO QA feedback from Medware when each and every report you sent to editing is returned for you to see with whatever blanks were able to be filled in. You can even pull up the voice file again and re-listen while you go over the blanks.
I'm not saying you're not telling the truth, just that your experience is much different than mine, and along with the ZERO QA feedback comment it makes me wonder why.
That little snippy comment may
It never hurts you to be kind, even to those who are struggling with their platform. What kind of person are you to do that. I have been there. Maybe you haven't. You will one day, you'll be going right along and then you'll discover a lump or something and your whole world will change. Let's see you find mercy then. Those who give mercy, get mercy.
D&L typing comment
I saw this post and was concerned for you. I worked for them from 2000 to 2003 and never had a problem with paychecks, however the owner was controlling it all at that time and every other thurs or fri she would send the paychecks out snail mail. They would get all data together on tues and wed to my knowledge then they would promptly go out and I never had a problem. She owner told me she would always welcome me back if I wanted to and even provide my accounts back to me but I have since learned I was ignored by the staff and not rehired. I believe she never found out I was available. I see a problem now that you mention this as I think there are many new turn over of employees in that office since I have worked there so they just don't care. I bet the owner would not like to hear that. I would call and ask for Donna - the owner or John her husband. They should be aware of this. I think her help is not doing her a favor. Maybe I am lucky for that staff to have ignored my request for rehire back in December. I would appreciate feedback on your situation in the future as I still was considering calling.
Phoenix comment
I was hired on with this company but decided not to take this job offer because the company I have already been working for has been giving me more work again. So I guess I am really glad not have taken this job with Phoenix after all. amj
No, the comment was not meant for you sm
I meant it for the person who didn't understand work in amusement--like they didn't speak English well.
post such a comment
I am beginning to think that mental illness is rampant amongst MTs????? This board should not be used for putdowns, criticisms, etc. From the sounds of you, you must be a supervisor yourself. Maybe these folks don't ask you because you never can answer any of their other questions or you just ignore them. They may as well ask someone that works for Waste Management. Now how does that feel??
I can believe that as well. Hence my comment about exceptions. Always are I know. nm
,
Here's what that comment means.
Current supervisor = not needing a decent line count and not caring what filling in demographics means for the MTs.
Don't know about your sister, but try it yourself, then comment.
Don't know about your sister, try it yourself, then comment.
only limited comment
I applied to USAMedical. I have over 15 years of experience and they were only offering 7 cpl with that! Have no idea of whether or not they are a good company to work for though.
Now what was silly about my comment?
I just wanted to make sure that the company was being plugged by an ACTUAL employee. I'm glad you are happy there at Axolotl.
comment on holidays
I'm not sure that's a completely accurate blanket statement about the holidays. I was told that I was expected to work holidays unless I had asked/made arrangements to be off ahead of time.
Otherwise, I totally agree with you.
Why do you insult me with that comment?
 youre funny, if you only knew..................
Comment on Spheris
The will tell you they care about their MTs.....Don't believe it!
Your right on with that comment - Personally I'm
The comment was directed at
the 0.075 cpl, not the clinic note MT. Get over yourself already.
MTHeaded's Comment
Please tell us the name of the company you work for and how much you get paid (per line?, per hour?, per page? ) as I have never heard of anyone making between $50 and $70 an hour routinely. Do you have a lot of normals? What's the secret?
Re Quig's comment
I think that Quig meant get out of their company not literally get out of town. I would offer nothing because you have already said you are about square with the money end and expect not to be paid as they will hold back your money. This sort of thing makes me crazy .. you owe your allegiance to yourself. Be your own advocate and get away from this toxic work place and don't look back. To those of you who say that others can do it for less .. why in heaven's name do you think the industry is in the miserable shape it is in .. we let it get that way!!
I have learned that the only person I can be responsible for is me and I plan that for the rest of the days I have to work I am going to see to it that I get a fair deal for what is expected of me .. take control of your situation and take Quig's advice. Leave and don't feel badly about it for one minute or that is just more time you have wasted on unappreciative people who are too incompetent to value a good employee.
This comment annoyed me...sm
Our transcriptionists do not work from home. We believe medical transcription is a serious business that demands professionalism.
They make it sound like MTs that work from home are not professional as opposed to those that work in an office. I don't think so, darlings. I much prefer working from home rather than admidst the pecking hens and gossipy environment I used to be in, which felt like high school again.
Thank you -- comment inside to MTs
Thank you, Moderator, for posting this.
Guys/gals, always, always, always take caution when responding to a job post where the return e-mail is through yahoo, hotmail, any of those free e-mail services. Err on the side of caution and do a THOROUGH check.
I'm not saying all of these companies who use Yahoo, Hotmail, etc., are unscrupulous. Just be very, very careful and make sure you post here. I have found some of the MTs on here, whom I have asked for advice in the past, to have some good instincts and gut feelings.
Love to all my fellow USA MTs!!!
p.s. The name Olyphant was odd to me---sounds like a twist to elephant.
Anyone with DSG that can comment on QA and Qasar and how they are
with that. It seems like some QA need to pick about anything.
