you fill out a manual report and email to payroll at end of pay period.

has anyone requested the test from DocuMed...(sm)
and actually received it?
Nothing special about it. I'm an IC, and those were my requested days
x
They only requested that I pick the days
I would work and that they include 1 weekend day, which seems fair to me. We fill out monthly calendars, letting them know if we cannot work a day (be it a weekday or weekend). I have never been told I could not have a day off. We do not have to give the hours we will work, only the amount of lines we will put in per day.
I have absolutely no problem with any of that. Having worked for MQ in the past, where we were chastised for clocking in 15 minutes late or our keyboards were monitored for inactivity, MDI has been a breath of fresh air.
If I were an employee, I would certainly be upset if I had to log in and had no work and then would have to keep checking back throughout my shift for work, only to have to make up the entire shift later on. That seems very unfair to me.
If I run out of work at MDI, I email my liason and let them know that I'm out and I'll make it up another day if there's work. If there is not enough work later in the week, then I don't make it up. I can't help it if there's no work. I'm flexible, but I don't live to work. I'm also fortunate to have another income.
Sorry to hear of your situation. Didn't mean to be so nosy. Your post didn't say either way that you worked at MDI, but I just assumed so -- you know what that makes me!
W-2 forms
I quit working for OSi this past summer and I have not gotten my W-2s yet. Does anyone else have this problem?
The poster requested some information to back up the allegations - sm
I am very interested and would like to see some recorded history myself.
DeVenture tax forms
Did anyone at DeVenture get your tax forms yet? Are we going to get them mailed to us or print them off the payroll site. I saw that option wasn't available right now though. Thanks!!! :-)
I would only do the mininum forms...
required to learn more about the job. To me, it does no good to go through a 30-day process of sorts only to find out say, for instance, pay is not acceptable for you.
The moderators have already requested that you stop with the grammar police stuff.
This is not the forum for you to try to be queen of QA. I am not insecure about my grammar skills, but I certainly am not going to get all in a tizzy if I make a mistake while posting on a message board, nor will I get all bent out of shape if I see an error in someone else's post. This forum is here to network with each other about various companies, hence the name COMPANY board and not GRAMMAR board.
COBRA only available for 18 months...you MUST do forms...sm
don't get the paperwork in and they have no reason to carry you. With COBRA, all you do is stay on a group insurance plan and pay the full price. Not the best choice for price conscious medical insurance UNLESS you have ANY medical conditions. If you are completely healthy, (no hypertension, diabetes, basically any diagnosis, even neck pain) you can get individual. Think about a high deductible ($5000 yr) if you don't go to the doctor or maybe only go once a year. Then also check out a Health Savings Account (plenty of info on web and at government web sites). But COBRA is not an insurance. It is only allowing you to get in on a group plan at the group price but you pay it all, including what your employer was paying for you.
Go to IRS web site and find forms...sm
look for 1040-ES forms. You will have to print this off...next one is April 15, and send in your payment for federal taxes. Next payment will be in June, short period. You may have to print these off the rest of the year but the IRS will send you payment coupons at some point with your information already on there. Until then, you will have to look there for the info, according to where you live, to mail it to. Then, go to your state government website and look for tax forms for self-employment taxes, print this off and mail it in by the same date, April 16 this year. Your state may or may not send you payment coupons....mine did at one time but then stopped, so I have to print them off myself...they're too busy spending my tax dollars on junk than to send me preprinted forms. Hope this helps.
You could always use your last year's tax forms for the FASA...nm

No forms of foul language are allowed, that's what got your post removed.

When we signed up for the new vision and dental, it said in the forms that it started 6/1. Deductio
They were waiting for the paperwork from the insurance company, so it was delayed. Technically, the money should have come out on 6/1 and you knew this signing up for it.
I don't want to sound uncaring, but we knew when we signed up that the premiums were monthly and started 6/1. I had the extra month of $15, so I knew it would come out.
The truth is that the double was $30 but one was only $15, so it was $15 extra. If they had taken it out last month, would you have been complaining?
I personally am glad that we have vision and dental now and that every year my benefits get better rather than being taken away like with some companies.
Also, it is the bank that determines that if it falls on the 1st, it posts on Monday. My bank posts on Saturday, so not a problem. Before you complain, make sure you have something to complain about. They have also had them in on the Friday in the past, so I am not going to bash a good company for something that has not happened. If it does go on Monday, that is what we know from day one, so it is not that they are pulling a fast one or making changes; this is the way it has been for the 5 years I have worked for them.
Can you fill me in, too?
I have done acute care for 17+ years. thanks
Those are big shoes to fill
I guess you've never worked on the inside of an MTSO business, but you wouldn't believe how physicians and hospitals are chipping away at our pay by demanding lower rates from the MTSOs. Some MTSOs that people on this site complain about offering offshored services to client did it to KEEP from losing their clients. When it starts with the doctors and hospitals, what choice do the MTSOs have but to pass that on to the MTs? It really is a vicious circle.
Some MTSOs team up with schools and offer interships where an MT in training works for free for a period of time to gain experience. Now trust me, THOSE savings are not passed on to the experienced MTs...that goes directly into the MTSO's pockets and those MTSO push their long-term, higher paid MTs out the door to save a few pennies with no trouble sleeping at night.
So what about a union? You're right. More jobs will be offshored. More experienced MTs will lose their jobs. Doesn't anyone remember what happened when the air traffic controllers went on strike and the president of our United States canned every single one of them and airports had to hire an entirely new staff of controllers? Did you see airlines stop flying passengers? Nope. Managers worked triple shifts until restaffing occurred, oh, without extra pay since they were salarired.
I don't pretend to know the answers as to how an MTSO should run its business but honest communication, good benefits and wages that have been lost in just a few short years (less than 10) would be nice. It should stick to its gun and promote keeping jobs in the states for the patients' sakes. And for the Indian physicians who have organized and created their own MTSO's to keep their families in India employed should be boycotted. MTs should educate anyone they know who uses a doctor to ask the physician where his/her transcription is done or if s/he even knows and use only physicians with American-based transcription.
Boycotts worked in South Carlolinia and other states to take down the Rebel flag. Why can't we have a similar affect? Mostly because we are not organized (I did NOT say unionized) and we do not generate the media coverage necessary to affect change.

Had to fill all of it in when I left.

demographic fill-ins
Top-of-the-line platforms will fill in demogrpahic screen automatically (if docs enter right numbers in the first place), and it's wonderful. Other platforms will fill in partially, and on the ancient and/or practically obsolete ones, the MT has to fill in everything. Also, most of us don't get paid to fill out our production sheets, etc., either. When I worked in-house at 2 hospitals, we did get credit for time away from keyboard, like answering phone, filling in time cards, in-service education, etc.; they had a formula for it and it was pretty fair compensation. Buth, that was then . . .
agree. you could also fill that cup the other way
and say bad credit implies one will work harder to keep afloat.
Also agree about checking a company's credit - HOW MANY TIMES have we heard 'they don't pay'? Is that not what gets reported? and relevant here?
If you didn't have to fill out
a 6-page application, you are lucky. I remember it being very tedious to fill out multiple applications, clicking off which specialties I had done, not being absolutely clear if they meant cardiology within a hospital setting or if they actually wanted to know if I had CLINIC cardiology experience, etc.
Working at home can make lots of people cranky. That's why MTs tend to have a reputation for being difficult. Or maybe a glycerin suppository and some MiraLax would help, LOL.
Yes they hire from outside and need to fill
QA doesn't always pay the bills.
You must have been on an old platform. That's my point - we don't have to fill in anything on
Its all computerized. You hit a search button, and then accept. That's not even 1 keystroke! Same thing with doctor searches, etc. You can run searches at a click by first name, last name, specialty - you name it. It takes seconds to find a doctor and then you just click "accept", and it fills in for you in the body of the report! Its great! I tried other companies lately, and its so antiquated. Back to paper lists and shuffling thru pages and pages of name, manually entering or correcting demos - Yuck. Five minutes til you get into even the first line of report! No thanks!
I just have to fill in patient's name and everything else is automated and
even filling in the patient's name is made easy, I just type it and enter and it goes where it needs to do and then I type. The work is batched so I just keep typing until I have 10 -12 pages and then send, again all automated and then start another batch.
I worked for YOG for a short time years ago and they had so many demographics it took at least 5 minutes to fill them in, had to constantly look up stuff on the lists to find correct info and never got the same doctors twice to be able to learn doctor's information so you didn't have to keep looking it up.
My server has never been down, except during hurricanes last year, so no down time. A couple of times the hospital's server has been down and I've been able to get my lines, though had to take a break during my regular shift and work a little longer in the evening. Never went a day with NO work. System never locks up.
You fill in a time sheet
but why dread it? attitude is 60% of the challenge (or more). You might just like it better, i do.
oh wait, let me fill in the blanks:
you must be a bitter person to hate your job so much
there's no way VR will be able to do all the accents
once they go to India, they will be back for American quality
our jobs will never go away...
there. I already put them in there so no one has to run their long posts saying the same thing that is always said...
Does the demographics fill in on your account or do you ....
have to type them in? I had an account that filled in and it was not too bad. The account I have now must be searched out from the patient name to the type of document. Really sucks because it is so terrilby time consuming. Get a ESL saying the name and you can be looking at several minutes just to locate it.
I don't think any of them do, but some of them require VERY little time to fill in.
.
NO demos to fill and a lot better than .0835!!!
I have great benefits, no demographics to fill in (unless error and maybe a MR# and name), and make in the double digits for my line count rate. Any MT with a lot of years acute care experience that settles for less than 0.09 or 0.095 is crazy. These jobs are out there.
I worked for Amphion a couple of years ago and I only stayed about 2 months due to the demographic issues.
Good Luck to all!!
Do you still have to fill out a timesheet with the keystrokes
s
Here is the reason that rad job is hard to fill...
Pay is by the report. As I am training, the woman training me states that I will be doing a lot of diagnostic studies, that the reason is they are dictated during those hours. So, I just imagined myself typing huge reports for a buck and a quarter with no benefits and figured she was warning me before I got in too deep. If that is the account which is in the Houston area.
Now, I guess I am glad it happened since the word lay offs sends us all into a state of panic and anxiety equivalent to fight or flight and is an exhausting state especially while trying to produce perfect work.
Can anyone fill me in on what type of work Amphion has?
Is it a lot of ESL, and if so how bad/good are the accounts they have?
Yeah, and do you have to fill out a bunch of demographics
and garbage without being paid for typing it all when it takes longer than typing the actual report?
Care to fill us in on the contents so we can hope for the best? nm

You fill out a schedule a month at a time..sm
and you can change it at anytime. You are not required to work weekends. The work is pooled, they use ExText. They are wonderful!
How long does it usually take to get started once you fill out paperwork for MDI-FL? sm.
I filled out my paperwork about a week ago and have not heard from anyone. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to start with MDI-FL? Or has anyone had any problems hearing back from there once they said You are hired?
Almost no demographics to fill in on my account. Sound
quality could be better though. Platform is very easy, everyone is very nice, pay is better than most, IC position 10 cpl/11 cpl weekends. Small company that is growing. They DON'T offshore.
On my Amphion acct I had to fill in demographics
I lasted a few months because it was a losing battle. I had to quit when my husband was out of work after a MVA. Its okay to supplement income if you are happy with minimum wage.
Just to fill you in, I applied with Keystrokes over a month
a position in which I am making between $17 and $18 an hour and am VERY VERY happy so I really do not need any of the BS offered by Keystrokes. I just wanted to ensure that everyone is aware of what games they play. I hope you continue to enjoy being employed there.
How do you cite sources but not fill in blanks?!
NM
yeah, seems it is hard to fill 2nd shift. nm
.
Well, if she meant she doesn't want to fill in ANY blanks...
then she's gonna have trouble finding what she considers a decent QA job!
I received a questionairre to fill out and sent it back to them. I never heard anything after that.
I emailed in hopes of checking to see if they received my information, but never heard anything. May not be meant to be for me
You fill out a time sheet. If you need to make a change sm
to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.
Try TransTech. I know that they are really flexible for hard to fill slots.
x
it means they have a lot of data field fill-in; nonproductive wrk
nm
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm
nm
I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.
Hope that helps.
How is editing for them? 100% listen, fill in blanks, lots of feedback
p
Support bad, wouldnt repond, lots of stuff to fill in not
s
The recruiters (pleural) test and fill applicants based on (sm)
what accounts have needs and whether your skills and shifts requested fit those account needs.
Also, perhaps another recruiter filled the position they originally thought was open.
I do know there are some new accounts coming on soon and I hope many of the more qualified applicants are tested and ready to jump on board with us when they do.
It is a good place to work and worth waiting for an appropriate opening.
Also, call the recruiter and ask more questions if you want. They certainly won't bite.
