Webmedx - how long til 150 lph?
Any Webmedx employees care to share how long it's taken to get to the 150 lph? Are you actually able to type 8 hours a day straight typing? That's a lot considering in other jobs you'd not be clocking out to go to go look at samples, use the restroom or stop to rest your wrists. Yet it looks like to keep a good LPH you've got to clock out for anything that's not straight typing. And then to keep the benefits at 35+ hours a week, you've got to be clocked in. Sort of a catch-22. :(
Newbie here and a bit discouraged. Please share. Does it get better? I'm hoping once my normals are built up for some of these ESLs things will look up. Thanks.
How long does it usually take Webmedx
to get back to you after completing their tests and questionnaire?
Has anyone applied to Webmedx, and if so, how long SM
did it take to hear back? tia
As long as Webmedx pays well for VR
accounts, I won't mind, but if they do like Transcend, I will have a real problem. I can't afford to make half the line rate I make transcribing doing VR. We'll see and hope for the best.
How long you been at Webmedx? I currently work there and
think they are a great company except for slow issues. Where you going?
How long does it take WebMedx to get back with a
I passed the initial screening and test about a week ago, and the next day was sent an email interview that I sent in the next day. Is it time to give up hope, and take the wait as a rejection. 
Webmedx hiring process - how long?
Once you know you've passed, any idea how long it takes them to get back with you with an offer?
thanks :)
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Just sent it off Friday, so I guess it could take a couple of days. I am just ready to make the leap and I think I am leaning towards this company. They sound pretty good from their ad and I see few/if any negative posts about them.
Just curious how long the whole process will take from application to testing to potential hiring and beginning work. Any input?
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Sent in the initial application, got an immediate E-mail with some different questions on it which I submitted 2 days ago.
Really want to work for this company part time for now, possibly full time later.
Any info appreciated.

I also vote for Webmedx - used to work for the Q, left long ago sm
Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.
How long had you worked for the company? sm
I feel like a dolt for not doing any research on this company before beginning to work for them. I was already a bit apprehensive because they do not have direct deposit. Had you worked for them long before the problem with the paychecks? My feeling is, first check they miss, I'm outta here, but that does not compensate for the money already lost. :(
Thanks!
I worked for MQ for a very long time. sm
I really loved working for them until the recent changes, and I agonized over my decision to leave. Now that it is done and over with, I can honestly say that I feel I made the right choice. However, now I find myself desperately searching for that job that I can settle into and be happy with, and hopefully outdo my 8 years with MQ. I definitely don't enjoy changing jobs.
May I ask how long you have worked for Cymed?
What you've said sounds pretty good to me.
I worked for them a long time ago.
Left in 2003. They were nice enough to work for. Not sure how it is now.
How long have you worked for CyMed?
I just started with them (also PT) and can't quite get the required line count yet although close. Some days are great. Then others are bad (bad ESLs). Overall, I really like working here though. Thanks for the info in advance.
I didn't know there was one, how long have you worked there? SM
I have been with them about 1 year. I came from MQ.
I have worked there for a long time
and the trainer at All Type is excellent. She is very patient, precise about the process, and no question is too dumb for her. She never makes you feel stupid for asking. All your account specifics are in writing so you can refer to them instead of sitting there in the dark. The typing platforms are varied but not difficult to learn.
I've worked for them not too long but so far
I think their work ethics and how they treat their employees far surpasses (in my eyes) my temporary lack of work. I've worked for too many nationals that treat me like pond scum, so I really like these people.
Yes. Have worked for a long time and
always had work in the morning, but now there is nothing to do. I can't even make my minimum line counts most of the time.
Apparently nobody's worked there t for long. n/m

I worked for Futurenet for a long time. sm
I can honestly say that I did not work on any accounts without a majority of ESLs. Unless they got a lot of new accounts that are really good, the norm with them was heavy ESLs. I would advise any MT who has a problem with ESLs to check this out thoroughly before applying with them.
i worked for MQ a long time, and find
MDIs platform not quite as sophisticated, but plenty adequate, plenty fast, and all in all, a very good place to be. I have the I/N accounts. p.s., I don't find the spell check lacking either.
I worked there a very long time ago. Is Rose still there? sm
I was very happy there, except for the, then manager, who was the owner's sister. That was the only reason I left. Our personalities just clashed and she was very demanding.
Other than that, the company was run very well, I was paid well; however, no matter how many lines I did, it never seemed to be enough. I was transcribing 2500 lines a day, and still it wasn't enough.
I would say good company and give them a try. If the sister is gone, things may be a whole lot better.
I think they use Vianeta now, terrible platform in my opinion.
I worked for Webmedx
I enjoyed working for them part-time in addition working full-time for the Q. I learned their platform fairly quickly. I think they have a lot of ESL docs, at least the majority of mine were. After working for the Q for 9 years, on the same account for about 5 of those, it was a very pleasant challenge actually. I quit after 3 months, it just got too much working 61 hours a week at my age. They had a QA program, sounds similar to what the Q is using now, though I'm still transcribing in MTS, so I know absolutely nothing about Doc Q Scribe or whatever everyone else is using.
I would work there again.
Anyone here worked for both MQ and WebmedX?
How do the 2 companies compare? I am increasingly unhappy with MQ, looking for something better, just wondering if there are any ex-MQ people who have gone to this company and if they are any better. I am happy with MQ pay and benefits but disgusted with the lack of flexibility (at least in my region) since the new *cough*reward plan*cough* and looking for something with more flexible hours and hopefully benefits close to what I already have. Have heard mention of a 12-hour window for Webmedx and something like that would be great. I am willing to work a schedule, but would like to work with people who actually care that I have a life beyond work and that sometimes things come up that you can't plan for 6 weeks in advance. What kind of production incentives do they offer? I am a high producer, over 15 years experience, near perfect quality, would love to find something that rewarded that. Any advice? Thanks!
I have worked for KS and Webmedx.
KS starts at 8 cpl for 60 or 90 days, can't remember, then can get raise up to 9.5 cpl after that based on performance. Many different platforms, lots of C-phone accounts (so may need unlimited long distance), LOTS of work, good benefits, but I opted out of insurance and not sure what rates are. I rarely get QA feedback even when I ask for it, so that area needs improvement.
Webmedx has a platform that depending on how your ISP routes their servers can make it very hard to get your lines in. The system also has lots of kinks, freezes up, you lose reports, etc. Some days things go smoothly, other days it seems like every 2 reports you have a problem. They are constantly working on issues, but despite their promises of improvements I never saw any when I was there. You have to clock in and out, which unless you can keep your butt glued to the chair for long stretches is a PITA. Pay is a can be a little bit better than KS and they have incentive tiers, but due to the issues above it is all you can do to make minimum 150 lph some days, so you can't count on the incentives. Also, they have severe work flow issues. Some accounts have OT almost all the time, other accounts have so little work that you can work 12+ hours a day and only get in a couple of hours of work. The PTO isn't great, insurance fair. Again, I didn't get insurance but seems like family premium was between $350-400/mo for medical only. Deductible about $2000 if I remember correctly. Webmedex provides computer. They recently bought out TransHealth and I saw an ad thi week that you can use your own computer with TransHealth. I guess they are going to operate separately for now it seems. I rarely got QA feedback even when I had blanks, reports seeming to be sent in without corrections.
I don't know much about Axotol, though know someone who left Webmedex due to lack of work and went to them and is very happy there and has lots of work also.
Based on my experience I WOULD NOT recommend Webmedex. I've only been at KS a few weeks. Things aren't going as smoothly as I would like, but there is a ton of work.
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in your new job.
i've worked for MQ for a long time and never got a raise

Worked for both Webmedx and Transtech sm
Webmedx really has a nice benefits package and shift differential working third shift 2.00 an hour from 12 a to 6 a and 1.00 an hourfrom 6p to 12 a. the platform really is slow though, some have problems and some don't, depends on CPU processing speed and internet connection. I had 5 megabyte speed so did not notice much issues except when they were low on work. But in order to qualify for bonus you have to average 150 LPH for the payperiod.
Transtech has good bonuses, has different options for benefits, and pay up to 40.00 for you ISP depending on what you pay per month, has a QA bonus for reports less than 10% sent to QA, shift differential--- these are 0.0025 to 0.005 per line depending 2nd or 3rd shift. I think the platform is much faster. You are working with Word interface ExText. You can see 3 jobs at a time, Webmedx you can't.
Webmedx has a timeclock and Transtech has a timesheet but are more for lines per day and pay period then actual lines per hour. Transtech expects you to work your full shift though regardless if you reach your lines in half the time.
Hope that helps. I liked Webmedx benefits package, but I liked working with less pressure for lines produced per hour. I feel my reports have better quality that way.
Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time. I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me. Blown chance! I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead. The test reports were easy enough for me to do. I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them. I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule. I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
I have worked at Webmedx for 5 years now. The platform sm
issues are continually being worked on. I think the platform is slow when work gets low. Very flexible place to work. You get 12 hours to do your 7 or 8 hour day (35 hr/week is full time with benefits). I like the ShortHand and the platform, very user friendly, very, very simple to learn. The accounts I do are high ESL but that's fine by me. I have an ear for them, so not too much of a problem. My boss is wonderful, the QA folks are very helpful, and tech services can't be better, in my opinion. Hope this helps.
Webmedx hands down. Worked for the MQ for 10 years...sm
Everyone requires 98% on QA. I've been at Webmedx for about a year now and had worked for FutureNet inthe interim. I loved the people at FN. No one loves the people at MQ--new owners. Webmedx is better overall. Although no place is great anymore. Picky? Strange question.
I worked there a long time ago. FInally got paid by going in with a group who got a lawyer. sm
I can't believe they're still in business!
I've worked for many nationals i.e. Webmedx, MDI-FL, Transcend, etc. and
I like Medquist the best.
Webmedx does but it is based on hours worked, not lines. nm
.
I work at Webmedx. The slow issues are being worked on. SM
they have the best QA department, the best benefits out there (and affordable), the best bosses. I know the slow issues are a pain but they will be fixed by the solution center. They have fixed many things in the past.
I worked part-time for Webmedx and I work FT for TransTech. sm
My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad. Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package. My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies. Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx. Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay. I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer. I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.
I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them. My line counts are fair. The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met. The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account. The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.
Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone. I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!
My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it. I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx.
Have to punch a clock at Webmedx too. I even worked briefly for a place sm
that had a little popup window come up when you had been gone too long and you had to fill in the reason why you were gone. A little bit too Big Brother for me.
If a company does not make overtime mandatory, and I simply want to make some extra money and get some more lines in, I ought to be able to do so without the company being forced to pay me time and a half. Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot demanding this and demanding that, and soon we end up with less than we had before ....but that is just my opinion.
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
