So are you charging them since you are using your
your second phone line? What about the wear and tear on your c-phone? No wonder you did not have to pay for anything, you are offering up your very own equipment. I guess they thought that was great and are being super nice. They have someone who is willing to pay their overhead... hello? Good luck though, but it sounds like they found an MT ready to offer up her OWN equipment instead of buying/renting equipment from them. I just do not think that employee status should require any purchases at all. Period. The End. Have a great day!!!  When you work on-site as employee (think of this way), the hospital/facility does not say in the interview bring your own computer would ya'? or bring your own c-phone or bring your own paper, pens, and paperclips.... 
They do it by charging the doc 15-20 cpl, that's how. nm
.
If they are only charging the client
8 CPL, as you state below, then that is sad. They are undercutting and the MT is the one that loses out because they will not get paid as much.The services keep dropping their prices and are only able to do that by paying less out to the MT.
charging sales tax
Does anyone know if you have to charge sales tax in Ohio to the physician offices or if you need a vendor's license to do transcription in Ohio? Can't seem to get a straight answer from any Ohio department.
Since uncutting others by charging 10 cpl, they

What about charging a fee (employees)..sm
to rent their equipment, i.e, computer to do MT work as employee?? Doesn't seem fair, and I thought an employer must provide work tools for the employee...not charge fees to rent PCs, foot pedals, etc. to do work.
That 9.9 cpl is what they are charging their clients
I clicked on that link. It's completely an off-shore based company. The 9.9 cents is what they are charging the health care providers. That's only possible if they are paying 1 to 2 cpl for the workers.
Charging to use their software
Does anyone know why a chartscript company would charge to use their software. 15.00 a month, not a huge amount but still why do they charge the MT? Have never had anyone do this before...
Charging for software
Yes I am an IC but this is the first time I have come across someone who charged to use their platform. I have my own foot pedal, computer..In order to get their work done you generally use the software /platform they use without a charge. I have worked in DocQscribe, Meditech, Emdat and others with no fee. Like you said, I guess just because they can or DO!
If they started charging you more so their US
would you still love them then? Or are you just in love with the rock-bottom price hospitals get to pay for MT, knowing full well what's happening most of the reports, and the MTs in America who used to type them?
How much you think these bigwigs are charging the hospitals?
And we get, what, 1/3 of this? 
My MTSO who was charging 15 cpl lost acct to

The only accounts you lose in business by charging
No big loss there! It then frees up time and space in the schedule to land a better-paying account. Not only are we selling ourselves short, but the MTSO's are doing the same. They should concentrate less on what their competitors are doing pricewise, and more on producing the best product possible. The rest would take care of itself, and they'd ultimately be better off.
that's true. companies are STILL charging full rates using VR

PMT Kentucky
Looking for any information on PMT Kentucky. I am currently working for Spheris and need to make a change for the better. How is the work volume,supervisors, ESLs, etc.
Thanks
Anyone know anything about PMT-Kentucky

PMT Kentucky
I worked for PMT Kentucky for a short time. You have to have a C-phone. They supplied me with one, and they were an extremely great bunch to work for. Pay was on time, people were really nice, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I say apply if you have a C-phone. It is a good company to work for!!!
yeah and the MTSO still charging full price for the work
Most physicians/hospitals don't even know they're dictating into VR so still paying full-on transcription prices while the nationals/MTSOs cut the MT's salary in half. Nice huh?
Anyone with exp w/ PMT in Kentucky? Am considering applying there. Thanks! nm

Try PMT in Kentucky. They have an ad on the job board.

Do not go to PMT Kentucky. They are all screwed up.

PMT/Kentucky/Sherry
The announcement on the job seekers board seems like a pretty good deal for IC, has anyone had any experience with them? I tried an archive search but didn't come up with anything. Thanks in advance for any info you have.
SecureMTSource out of Kentucky
anyone work for them. They apparently are now MD-IT. MD-IT is taking over in-house transcription at my place of employment. I have been offered an at-home position with MD-IT. Can anyone tell me from SecureMTSource what they have been like to work for. TIA
iNSCRIBE - Kentucky
I have been contacted by this company...and was hoping for some insight. Good/bad/disorganized. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
If this is InScribe, LLC, out of Kentucky (sm)
In my opinion, it would be better to look at a different company.

InScribe in Kentucky
It is the InScribe US in Kentucky, do you know anything about them?
tell me more about InScribe US out of Kentucky
You said you would suggest looking at another company, please tell me more. I am already having issues and haven't even confirmed I was taking the job.
Someone was asking about Inscribe Kentucky? sm
I will be honest, I have only just started, but there are some things I can tell you.
I was informed today that they pay for headers and footers AND spaces, which I didn't ask up front because I have not been paid for these things in years, I thought no one did.
They set you up with a mentor to help you learn their ins and outs, so you have a go-to person, which I think is very helpful. I have, at this point, spoken to both the owners on the phone. They were helpful and pleasant.
While I didn't ask about how many accounts or how many MTs, I believe them to be a medium sized company. They are transparent about who their MTs are and there is a contact list for all of us that we all get. That was different too because most of the places I have worked they really discourage MTs talking between themselves.
There is no IM required which means they don't pester you with instant messages all day long.
This is all I know for now, but it is better than the nothing I was finding out about them.
Inscribe (Kentucky)
Any info would be appreciated regarding this company. Thanks for your help.
InScribe LLC (Kentucky)
If you have experience working for this company, could you please share how they are to work for, i.e., platform, anything at all you can think of would be of help. Thank you very much.
Advanced is not in Kentucky
I think it's in Arizona, but anyway. It's not a bad company to work for. The only thing is you have to be on pager and give them a schedule yet you are an IC. The pay is not too bad. The work runs out and they put you on another account. The platform is horrible and takes a lot of time to do demographics and such. There is also patient lists that are pages and pages long.
I can't really say anything negative other than they hire ICs, but you have to tell them when you'll be working. They may be more flexible now, who knows.

AKA Dictation Services Group. Any info appreciated
Funny, cause they are based in Kentucky!
Kentucky MT - I'm not sure I read the post
correctly. Are you saying that you would get upset if the hospital you were working for sent out the BAD work??? If so, I differ with you big time. I work for a hospital and the first thing we do is send out the crappy dictators. The outsource company is paid way more than our transcriptionists are and therefore, should be able to handle the crappy doctors AND do QA. We, of course, send out other work, but first and foremost go the worst of the worst dictators.
I'm not sure if I read your post correctly, so I was just curious

I heard about it from my
supervisor. It is going to be adjusted according to what level you are, level 1, 2 or 3.
Me too. Never heard of them
They told me 6 to 6.5 cents per line. Yuck!
I heard.....
one of my doc's while dictating telling another she was leaving for Louisiana to help out. I'm sure it will pick up again soon.
What is this, never heard of it.
:
I heard that from an MT there, too, and...
...since I personally know the person who did the QA on on the account she referred to, I asked her and she said "no!"
Interestingly, the MT who claimed they outsourced a particular account did not even work in the same group.
I don't know. Never heard of them.

I have heard a lot about this
company not paying its MTs many, many times.
Never heard of them. - nm

I heard about their QA and that
it is very difficult. I heard they will fire you without warning for a low QA score. That is just what I heard, not sure about it tho.
Never heard of one in GA
Where did you see info a a Sten-Tel in Georgia? I work for Sten-Tel in MA.
