working your scheduled hours during the week OR you need a backup account. Either way, there is more than enough to go around.

You aren't missing much with sm
Transhealth. Chartmatrix stinks, doesn't integrate well with Word at all (cannot use autocorrect), crashes alot, and hard dictators. Their test dictators are actual doctors on their system. Management and office staff turn over quite frequently. Transolutions last I knew started out at 6 cents a line. You may want to go IC if you don't need the benefits.
Then I guess you aren't missing anything. If bored, go do next week's
Get a grip.
Try AcesUP, we are drowning in work and have- sm
lots of oncology too, that is my main account with them and they keep getting new docs so have plenty of work right now!

Running OUT of work? You MUST be kidding! We are drowning.

My how things have changed. I am now drowning in work from
the new clients, I guess, and they are bringing on two more this week. Hip, hip, hooray! Might even get a bonus!!!
Same here! Been working all weekend! We're drowning in work!
My 2 accounts are extremely busy as well. They haven't slowed down once.
Didn't realize you were actually MISSING a day of work b/o people working O/T. What did mgmt say?

I want to know why ICs are still allowed to work when employees aren't getting work!!!
ICs should be the first to get NJA!!!!
Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving

Guess you don't work for MDI-MD and aren't psychic either....
and yet you still didn't answer the question as to whether you work with MDI-MD.
Guess that answers my pot-stirring question.
Thanks!!!
True but I got news for ya - you aren't going to get steady work anywhere that way.-
An MTSO has an account to cover. Period. She will give the work to whomever is willing to be flexible enough to cover the account. Even an IC has to work within some framework, not just whenever I feel like it, right?
Disorganized. If you aren't the favorite, then forget it. Never enough work
so you can work your schedule. But if you don't get your line count, you are expected to do whatever it takes to make it. Keep looking -- there are better companies out there. not to mention you'll get talked about behind your back
Are you saying those of us who work for nat'ls aren't "normal, regular" MTs? LOL. NM

Which is great to work for LeePerfect or KeyStrokes? They are different, aren't they? nm

Aren't you a positive person? I suppose you work in the office at HIS. lol nm

I wonder if these students aren't doing some Webmedx dictation already with work volumes as they
It ain't all the economy. They are either OVERHIRING incredibly or the work is going somewhere else. Definitely. They should have the decency to be straight with us.
Right, I'm Enterprise. On our side, vacations aren't the reason for 0 work.
Good luck to us all.
C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh

Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
I must be missing something
Are you implying that because the initial poster mispelled all of the words she typed (intentionally, of course) that she must be talking about a black person. I am a black person and do not speak that way, nor have I ever. What exactly are you saying and I wish the original poster would also clarify what his or her point is. There are stupid, ignorant, unintelligent, inarticulate people of every race. This point is demonstrated everyday, all day on this board.
What is missing from above is sm
You don't use your names do you? What you type shows up in the subject line until it posts! (groan) Anyhow, to all those that do not use your name to post, why would you think it was right to post someone else's real name on here and slam them.
Believe me, you are not missing out on anything besides

YOU COULD ME MISSING OUT!!!
My employer did not post their line rates because each person can make something different. Their pay is based on testing and years of experience. I am really glad I didn't substitute this as automatic low pay or I would have missed out on the best opportunity to make what an MT should make with GREAT, affordable benefits.
Yes I was. Am I missing something here?
asd
am I missing something
This person recruiter or not says come work for a company that will not off shore - KS - why is that a horrid post?????
Not missing anything
Nope, I'm not missing any point. It most definitely is NOT a pay downgrade for me.
missing out
the support staff is US based..what are you talking about?? why dont you get facts straight
what did they promise?
so compared to other companies..like the one you work for?? come on get your facts straight!
I think that you are all missing something here.
Maybe you all are missing my point. I have posted this same ad locally via the radio station. I took 3 jobs. Two of them paid me twice what I should have been paid (these were long jobs that averaged me about $25/hr...total of about 16 hours...you do the math). The other one has a very good chance of turning into a paid position. I am not trying to scam any hard-working transcriptionists out there. I am not trying to take away your work. I am simply trying to help anybody out. Remember, this will help me in the future. I am thinking ahead. BTW, my school does help students get jobs. I am not stupid though. I will not put my future solely in the hands of one group. I have learned by listening to all of you...networking is the key! So, to all of you out there who are complaining about my proofreading, I am sorry. I am a student and offered to work for free. Realize that I am far from perfect. I am still learning. I am in school, working, taking care of two rugrats and all of my household duties. Knowing this, the fact that I am willing and able to take on even more work should only speak towards my character. I am a hard-working person, I cannot stand a minute of sitting and doing nothing. What I was proposing was to help anybody who would benefit from it. In return, I could benefit from your expertise. I have to learn somewhere. I did make the mistake of choosing a school that may not be the best but I am trying to make up for that by becoming your little helper. I want to benefit from a seasoned Transcriptionist telling me what I did wrong. Why are you all so scared of that? Also, might I add that I am an adult, I am not stupid. I will not take a job from overseas. I will not take a job without looking into it. I warn people that I am still learning and that I may not be perfect. Did I not say that I wanted a letter stating if I did good or bad? I am willing to take my chances. I have to start somewhere. I want to learn and better myself.
Oh, let's throw more in here. All three of those jobs I took...the people were VERY impressed. I am scheduled to do more work for them later this week. Thank you.
missing pay
they offered me a job, so glad I didn't end up taking it. I do recall, though, that there was a direct deposit form in the info they sent. Did they stop offering direct deposit?
Yes, here's what you are missing...
'Oriental' is considered a derogatory way to refer to someone of Asian descent - for one reason because it arrogangly LUMPS all persons from different countries together under the same 'banner' -
Others on the board consider it a real bummer to have to consider this, but it really just comes down to good manners and showing respect -something ALL of us want.
We are all Americans but we are *not* all southerners, etc...
Nope you are not missing anything, you can't!
VR editing is just like having to transcribe the report in many cases. Companies are not doing you a favor.
Sorry....nm after that post is missing. NM

missing the point
Education is learned, reputation is earned. I don't want to own a company but I would love to work for one who treats me fair on a day to day, month to month, year to year basis. I thought this was somewhere I could come to get information I needed from other MTs who may have been in or might be in the same boat that I was rocking but depending on which company you are asking about you might find foes instead of friends. Its hard struggling with companies and supervisors who don't want to pay you a decent salary, who short your checks, who take away benefits and incentives, who take advantage of you if you demonstrate ability to do ESL doctors efficiently, and who have no work for you but post ads offering big sign on bonuses and we come here to ask opinions and get information and we get called liars and are told we are paranoid and that just aint right. These companies that we gripe about are not perfect companies and the majority of the time no one is griping about the exact same thing but when you have a group of peopled consisting of both current and past employees who have identical complaints about the same company then to me that constitutes a rotten apple in the bunch. Granted that apple might not be the actual company and that apple might not be you but there is a rotten apple somewhere in that bunch and eventually all will be able to see.
you are missing that the discussion
was also about signing the agreement that we would not bring the company to arbitration...as in agreeing never to sue them.
I think you are missing the point
On purpose? We object to jobs being sent offshore by (mega) and even not so mega corporations to save $$ - in order to maximize profits.
And *who* are you teaching by the way? What is the typical makeup of your classes?
Please correct the impression, if you can, that pay scales, benefits, etc., are only going to be further eroded by opportunities like this one...
You are missing the point...
An employee should not have to spend ANY money in order for a company to hire them. I don't care if the fax machines cost $2. This should not be the responsibility of the employee.
There are plenty of MT companies out there who are more professional and they overnight the paperwork and provide a similar means (at no cost to the employee) to mail the paperwork back.
If I received an offer from a company who expected me to print out and fax back to them my new hire work, I'd say nevermind.
Might be something missing from the installation. nm

I might be missing something, but it sounds like you have

Am I missing something? I clicked on
a few links to look up particular companies that are always being talked about as being Indian owned and didn't find them on this list????
Sorry, don't get your point! Am I missing
Missing the point
While I don't discount your experience, your math is way off there. First of all, I think starting wages for MT are too low (and the fact that starting wages are equal to the wages of experienced MTs doesn't help). I believe that, given the fact that when I started 12 years ago, I began at 8 cpl, with cost of living increases the starting wage for MT should be at least 9.5 cpl.
But there has to be a cap somewhere in terms of increase. For instance, my dad started as a nurse practitioner 25 years ago making $60K. He now makes $90K. That's as high as he will ever go. If he expected more than that, he'd never get a job. But, at the same time, he's very nicely compensated for his experience and knowledge.
Nonetheless, the question was what I think my worth is. That is what I believe, rationally and pragmatically, what my worth is. There's no right or wrong to it.
You are missing the point.
I did not say that feedback should not be sent the MTs. My point is that the MTSOs should compensate for the time taken to provide feedback if that is what they want. Being paid 3cpl to edit is not adequate pay for editing AND providing feedback, in my opinion.
missing minutes
Some of MDI's accounts are shared with other services (not by our choice, I'm sure). It may be that those minutes were reserved for the other service and for some unknown reason were re-routed to us instead. Some accounts also have in-house MTs that work on them and it could be something happened at the hospital that day with staffing or with some sort of emergency and minutes were re-routed to us that way, too. I really, really don't think MDI is sending work to India. I know it makes people jumpy who have been at the Q, but MDI is NOT the Q. There is probably a logical explanation for the work and I wish they would directly address it so people's imaginations would stop running wild.
I think you're missing what I'm saying.
8 cpl as an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR is really low for an experienced MT. As an employee, it would be okay. There are plenty of companies who pay 8 cpl and above for employee status, so if you're experienced, you don't have to stoop to 8 as an IC. If you're happy with it, then more power to you! :)
What's the problem with Mag Mutual?? Are we missing something?
Just curious
You're not missing all that much. Not worth
being anxious over. I know they hire NJ MTs, so it must be a specific hospital account that won't let NJers in. They are often the middle man, or third party, or pain in the neck, between a hospital account and an MT. It sounded great on paper, but was not fun once working. Good luck.
Hayseed - Whereyabeen? We were missing you.

That's why, when QA gripes about a missing semicolon or
patient care', my heart doesn't exactly bleed for them. If they felt their dictation was truly that important, then they'd clean up their acts, and their hospitals would invest a few dollars in more up-to-date dictation equipment.
You are missing the point altogether. nm

You are missing the point Patel, sm
we do NOT want to share our work with you.....the companies are doing this, NOT US, the MTs.
You're missing the whole point
The issue here is MONEY. They see an opportunity to make BIG BUCKS. They don't give a rat's behind about whose medical records are being transcribed by whom. Slave labor brings them BIG BUCKS. Look at the profit they're making. American clients (hospitals) will pay BIG BUCKS for the work being done by poor (I mean that in a monetary sense) Indian workers who are happy to make a few cents or is it rupees? Their standard of living is what keeps this whole thing going.
It's NOT about the medical records or the patients. It's about making American and Indian suits BIG MONEY.
