Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM

Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm
xx
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
doesn't sound off to me
I ask for opinions on here all the time and am happy to share my experiences with different companies to anyone who asks including the current one. It is hard to find good help and good companies that respect it.
Usually all QA comes from within, so that doesn't sound
right to start with. Unless they hired a new recruiter very recently they don't have a man - maybe it is from the TransHealth side?
That doesn't sound too bad to me . . .
I pay $684 a month for myself and 2 children. I just finally got my DH accepted as well and don't know the new premium yet . . . but I'm scared to death to see what it will be! I'm sure we'll end up being over $1000 a month. Health insurance stinks.
doesn't sound like an American sm
company to me. The ad is worded to differently.
Doesn't sound crazy
Since you have been at the hospital in your area, try and pick up one or two doctors that have a small clinic or stand alone practices for your own account. Then build from there. That would help supplement what you make from the national. There are still IM's, surgeons, derms and psychologists/psychiatrists that use tapes and need someone. Tell them about your hospital experience and that will help. I do 300 to 500 lines per hour since I have been doing my docs for so long. Good luck. Patti
Wow, it doesn't sound so great . . . LOL
I appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions, but I am very curious about the down time pay. I don't really want to work for them, I want down time pay. Unfortunately, due to a bad arm I had to give up about two-thirds of the work I had a year or so ago, and I have revamped my setup to reduce my pain so that I could keep working. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind working and would do any work that is available during the time I was required to be on, but mostly I wanted to know how much the pay is when you're not working but required to be on and, something I did not ask before, how they figure the time worked versus the time waiting for work. I assume the system keeps track of how long the transcribing takes you and when you are not working??? I know you said that it varies and you don't think they are hiring just so that they can pay down time, but I am still curious.
Thanks again!
Can I ask when that was? It doesn't sound like them and I have been there 2 years. sm
I know that they lost a few to VR in radiology but have replaced the accounts. One hospital did not even tell them until the day they moved to Powerscribe, which was horrible of the account, but KS took care of all of us. Might be worth revisiting them if you are looking.
I hope you hear from them if that is (sm)
what you really want. I hope you have better luck than we had. Best wishes!!!!
So sorry to hear this! I hope that you
you. One time years ago a boss told us we were worth our weight in gold and should be treated as such. Sounds like you should be treated like gold. Hope the holidays shine bright for you, and wish you and the other posters best of luck for finding a great job.
No, doesn't sound legal. Someone erred...
...on their part, and they should fix it. You might want to check with your State and see what statutes you can dig up to shake their tree if they don't realize their mistake and fix this. Very odd. Best of luck!
Doesn't sound like a brown nose to me...
but rather a very grateful employee. This board is very discouraging to me. A lot of whiners who are not good medical transcriptionists and then turn it around to make the company they worked for look bad. Actually, it can be quite entertaining when I am bored.
Doesn't sound like the Transtech I work for...NM

Doesn't sound too promising .. thanks for the info. nm
z
I agree. Definitely called them. That doesn't sound right to me either.

You're using her computer? Doesn't sound
If you truly are an IC - I would send her an invoice. She will need your soc. sec. # or tax ID for reporting purposes - that's pretty standard.
So sorry to hear about that Michelle! I hope that you are okay now.
I was all happy when the e mailed me, but when I looked at the archives here, it said same thing you are saying. And they state they are the #1 MTSO employer by some organization. Oh, brother. I am sticking with my regular job, and if I take on extra work, it is going to be with a small mom and pop. Things are too wacky in the MTSO world these days. Thanks for your advice and I hope that you find something so you can get over this horrible experience with them!
Hope this doesn't upset you....
But, try to look at it this way. You are in a healthcare profession, part of the team that takes care of that patient, even though not IN the hospital. That means nights, weekends, holidays, etc., someone from the healthcare team has to be available for transcription.
I don't know anything specifically about this company, but from a manager's standpoint, I just wanted you to realize WHY some companies are specifically looking for nights, weekends, and holiday help. It's tough--everyone wants to be off on weekends, be off on holidays, etc., but the reality is that MT just like nurses, doctors, and other allied health professionals are needed when the patient is an inpatient. :(
I'm in CA, too...I hope it doesn't fall off, LOL (sm)
Hey fatcat...My primary is very high ESL as well, but it's one of the Lanier accounts. Apparently, the account is phasing out the Lanier system and going to Inova, which is an Escription platform. Perhaps your account just isn't going to affected by it.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email. In the meantime, I'm gonna get some coffee and check to see if my lifeboat is ready to go in case CA does break off into the water, lol!!!
What company offers this? Doesn't sound famililar. nm

Doesn't sound too bad to me with 7 months experience. I have 26 years' exp and get 11.5. nm
nm
Doesn't sound very American for starters. I think you know where this is headed. nm
s
That doesn't sound very encouraging, does it.? Will have to wait and see I guess :(
x
I am so sorry to hear that!! Hope things have changed
for your sake:( Terrible co. IMO
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you find another position very soon.
nm
Ugh .. sorry to hear about the migraine. Hope you feel better soon. sm
I work for a decent company and am relatively happy, although it is IC work, and I do not really feel like I am treated like an IC. I basically am anchored to my desk morning, noon, and night so I can be there ... but then again, it is not like George Clooney is banging on my door to whisk me away anywhere, so most days I am thankful just to have a job. I did get a promising lead for a company that pays 2 cpl more than what I make now, but I will know more on Tuesday. Still ... the selling cheap crap gig is very appealing. I've never gone crabbing but that sounds good too. 
I hope DSG doesn't make the change
x
True! I just hope the wrong person doesn't
get banned in error.
Ugh .. I hope Keystrokes doesn't sell, but no guarantees nowadays. :( nm
I am glad to hear that a lot of money can be made with MT work. This gives me hope for the future.

InterPro Medical...Hope this doesn't appear to be selling soul to devil.... but
I am seriously considering working for InterPro (a company owned by India that outsources). Never thought I would, but I see they have BCBS insurance which starts in 30 days of employment, and other good benefits. I am a diabetic with hypertension and paying almost $400.00 a month for Cobra health insurance, which will expire soon, thus will be left uninsured. I've tried getting individual insurance, but no one will ensure because of my health problems. Can anyone give me some specs on InterPro, i.e. current employees, etc.., or any other companies where insurance goes in effect 30 days of employment.
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
Well thanks but that does not sound too good does it? for OSI I mean. nm
.
I would give them a try, you hear good and bad, but mostly good. nm
x
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
What happened there? Did they can a few of the QA? You sound like one of the good ones. nm
x
They do sound like a good company (sm)
and as long as they have people who volunteer to work holidays, they won't have to make rules about it.
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
The sound files are usually quite good, actually.
Of course, every once in a while you get a bad quality report.
Medquist is starting to sound really GOOD!
I work for a national where the platform's been down more than up for the last few months, and they don't pay a penny for downtime.
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Good for you. Just hope you didn't
displace a former MT who worked for the transcription company. A friend of mine is an MT with a national and is in a situation where her company hired the former Transcriptionist of the client/customer and she's losing her account because of it because they're bending over backwards to keep the former employee happy and my friend is very upset about the preferential treatment this new MT is receiving.
hope you get in with them.. good luck

Thanks - you have a good day too, and hope we have lots
of work to make our line counts!
