Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
One of their ortho accounts (sm)
I spent more time going in and out of documents than I did transcribing on one of their ortho accounts. Nice people tho.
On the ortho accounts, about how many SM
minutes per day do you get from your doctor(s)? After you get used to account specs, is it pretty easy to get the work done in 8 hours? Also, are there a lot of ESLs, because I'm terrible with ESLs. (Are they clinic notes, op notes, consults, or all of the above?)
About what time do you get your work and when is it due back?
Are the benefits okay? How much for medical and dental for employee only? When do they start?
Thanks for your help! :o)

Ortho Accounts???
Any experience with their ortho accounts? Is it easy to make lines or do you have to fill in a lot of demo info? 
Tests are only on ortho accounts. nm

With the KS ortho accounts, each doctor is assigned to an MT. sm
I have 3 doctors that I am responsible, some only have 1 if they are high volume. Easy system to use, great docs, great lead MT. Pay starts low at 0.08 but goes up after 90 days. There are no ESL on the ortho account I am on, which has around 40 doctors. The downside is the first week. The accounts are overwhelming with instructions at first, but once you have it all down, they are great!
Which companies out there have great ortho accounts??
I would like to find a company that has a lot of ortho..It's my first love. Any suggestions??
I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
That is only for ortho and clinic, not HIM and radiology and only certain accounts. sm
I am Mon-Fri. I have not worked a weekend in 3 years with the exception of one Saturday because I took off on Monday and switched with someone.
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Phoenix Medcom-Ortho accounts..Pay, platform, etc..
How are they to work for also. Any information would be appreciated. I have 10 years of ortho experience and was thinking of applying..
Some accounts (ortho) have assigned doctors. I am sure that seniority plays a part in the process.
As a new person, you would expect to get the worst of the work, the worst shifts, etc in any other field, so why should MT be different. Rad techs start on 3rd shift, nurses move up to 1st shift, etc. The new guy never gets the best of the crop. That would not make sense.
Can anyone tell me how they like working for DSG and if the accounts are okay. nm
:
It's not their accounts you are working on!
They hire for other companies to help them get caught up. They hire for Superior Global and just use you. Work for a company that hires employees or else make sure they have their own accounts if you are an IC.
There are Indian MTs working on ALL the accounts.
xx
Anyone working for DSG that can tell me how you like their accounts. Are they decent to get
lines on and how is the sound quality on DQS.
I think she means she's the only one working on the accounts she assigned to - sm
I know I sure feel that way sometimes. Of course, everyone jumps on the last day or two of the pay period and now, (crickets)......
Can anyone working for the Ohio MQ office tell me who they are and are the accounts decent to do or
are there a lot of ESLs. Thanks for any info you have.
I see JLG is still hiring. Is anyone newly working for them and how are the accounts they offer.
:
The key is working multiple accounts. Three months is hardly long enough to get a handle sm
on the job. Maybe better to keep a parttime job until you are up to speed on the new job. I haven't run out of work in almost a year (and that was only for a few minutes), but I do multiple accounts. Great company, great people. Nice bennies.
If you are doing 2400 lines in an 8 hour day, working 5 accounts +, running out of work on all 5,
then pray tell us how you are doing it. I certainly would like to share this with MQ because I also have done this many years, know my work, and there is no way to do 2400 lines because most days all the accounts are out of work.

Christmas - the annual draining of the working sector bank accounts.

Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
Ask them to put you on the ortho

Ortho with KS
What's the ortho like with KS? I've heard that the supervisor is very strict and makes it a difficult situation. Just wanted to check before applying. I am not looking for a job that will just be a lot of grief and torment.
Ortho help
 Although I have been doing transcription for quite some time, I am relatively new ot ortho. I must admit I do enjoy it; however, my productivity leaves a lot to be desired.
Each report is different. No Lungs are clear. Heart is regular, you get the drift.
Any ortho MTs out there with any suggesions?
Thank you (as always)!

Ortho
As with any new specialty, your line count is going to be down at first but with a little time and patience and good use of your expander, you'll see it go back up and will know most of the terms he's going to say before he actually says them.
Ortho
Thank you to everyone!
I am relativley new to this board.
I have posted several times in the past and am always astounded people take the time to help with their advice.
(Message n ot even on correct board..........oops)
Thanks again!

ortho
In ortho, there are a lot of two and three word combinations like tenderness to palpation and thoracic spine. I would abbreviate these things in my shorthand. Sentences that were repeated often, I would put the first letter of each word and put that sentence in my shorhand. I used ShortHand just as much in ortho as in HPs and consults.
were you in ortho?
I am and often do OT but I need/want the money so I volunteer.
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
ortho or podiatry
Does any know of any company that is hiring for orthopedic or podiatry accounts?
I would like to do ortho work too
nm
I have almost 9 years of ortho and I
when they called. When I returned the call, I was told that We did have 3 openings when I called you but it's first come, first served and you missed out.
I was told that at 1 pm today and now I see they have a job posting for 12 ortho MTs.
Ortho Pay Per Page
These were orthopedic doctors that I was charging $3.00 per page. Two types of notes. One was a progress note and the other new patient was in letter form. I typed them in Word, so I made templates. They usually put an entire day of patients on one tape. It was only a matter of choosing the appropriate template. My experience with ortho clinic is they are fairly short dictations. I'll put it to you this way if I had to choose it would be per page because the dictations are usually very short. Ortho docs see a lot of patients in one day and even if they are a new patient most will not go into a lot of detail regarding past medical history, etc. They mainly focus on symptoms, the exam, and then the diagnosis and treatment. Glad I could help. 
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great! I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is? TIA
Although I don't type ortho...
I am very satisfied with the amount of work. I have a secondary account, but my primary account provides more work than I can do in a day. The office staff is helpful. There are no ESL dictators on my primary account, and I never have to send work in with blanks. Again, I cannot comment on any specific ortho account, as I do not type ortho. Hopefully someone who does type ortho with Keystrokes can fill you in more in that regard.
Ortho acct
i have been offered ortho, which i have a great deal of experience. How much would you say per hour you make at 7.5 WI spaces. I really have a lot of quesstions and if possible would like to e-mail you direct. Also can the ShortHand program be used
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Ortho transcription
Did someone really advertise 6.5 cpl with experience. UNBELIEVABLE!! That is less than I made when I started 23 years ago.
Ortho work
My company does alot of work for the same Orthopedic Specialty hospital D&L works for and they are always looking for experienced MTs. We always get paid on time, and have for 9+ years with never one problem. Contact Phoenix MedCom, Inc. at www.phoenixmedcom.com. Send resume to hr@phoenixmedcom.com
ortho at DocuMed and pay
Can anyone tell me anything about about the ortho positions at DocuMed and how their pay is? Do they pay on time? Direct deposit? Help if needed?
This is what I have on DocuMed ortho.
Resume sent (date). Test sent to me (date). Test was too long. Never apply again. This lady wants to call my account contacts and sends an old e-mail from back in February 2007 for testing. Dictators are horrible. Hope this helps some. Pay on ad was 9 cpl.
Why Ortho Words?? sm
I most times start with Google and then make sure it is spelled correctly by looking it up in the medical dictionary. I also use a Word Book that just gives medical words but no definitions. That helps to narrow things down sometimes too.
I'm wondering why the above poster said to get Ortho Words. Is that a must for all types of specialties in your opinion? I don't have one but would get one if it is helpful. I do Radiology so you would think that would be good for me anyway. Think I'm going to go to Amazon.com right now and order one.
Did anyone apply to Ortho MT/Wk at hm...
on job seeker's board? I am just curious as to if anyone did and what the feedback has been like thus far and/or what anyone knows about who this company/person is. You can e-mail me if you'd like - it seems all good but I like to try to confirm if possible before jumping in. TIA. 
I work ortho too...................
I LOVE working at KS. The supervisor is great. She is always available to answer questions/concerns. She needs to be strict w/TAT to make sure the clients are happy. If you have no problem meeting deadlines then I say go for it and apply.
