Not here. You get your work types and accounts first.

Just be flexible with your work types and accounts and you should be fine.

Too many variables to count. A lot depends on shift, accounts, what types of work you do. (sm)
I can be totally out of work on my 2 accounts and pull up backlog report and see some accounts have OT offered.
Every company has some employees totally satisfied with amount of work and some who run out totally.
Like I said, many, many variables to be figured in.
Time available, equipment, work types, maybe a pop spelling quiz,

I work for Transcend, love them, but right now a few accounts are slow..so depending on which you
were hired for, do not get your expectations too high. The work can flucuate the key is flexibiltiy. If you have to have a set schedule, I would double check on the work flow for your shift on your account. I would hope that they could be honest, and if I know them, they will be.
Knowing that the only time work is slow is during
is wonderful and I will flex my schedule any time to keep my job at Transtech.
I think work is typically slow this time of year sm
and I am surmising they are not wanting a backlog to build because a lot of MTs are also taking time off for the holidays leaving a skeleton crew on some accounts. I am sure it will all be busier than ever in a week or so. I have been able to get my line counts and then some everyday so far. Everywhere I have ever worked gets a little slow towards the holidays.
Slow time of year = no work. Basically the same. If

Litt to no work since Thanksgiving, slow time and overstaffed too????nm

It's usually pretty slow this time of the year and TT is no different. The new accounts
they are hiring for will be starting next month and from what I understand they will need to hire more than 120 MTs between now and the end of the year for the four new hospitals, so I am not too worried about it.
KS people who work on accounts with lag time (sm)
I have been having the phone line go dead and sometimes I can call right back and get my report and sometimes I lose it. I have had my cable people out here several days in a row, and they can find nothing wrong. I was wondering if this happens to others - and maybe it is a problem with the hospital line we use - not actually the line in my home. I appreciate any input. (I am new on this account so do not have enough history to know.)
The company I work for does it, to keep all accounts in TAT, can be frustrating but most of the time
am just happy to have work. I am not sure, but I think I work for the same company as the previous poster, and I'm going to stick it out because it does seem to be getting better lately as I think the accounts are better covered now. If I were you, I would ask what the deal is, who knows, they might give you a straight answer or change your accounts if they find out you are unhappy, you don't know until you give it a try.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
work types
Hello,
I had consults, H&P, discharge summary, a few OP notes here and there, basically in all specialities, cardiology, neuro, GI, Ortho, OB/GYN, psych, etc.
One of the things I can tell you for sure that I didn't do was radiology.
HTH, any other questions just let me know! 
Work types are
discharge summaries, op notes, history and physicals, ER notes, consultations, clinic notes, etc.
Work Types
Is it just me or does there seem to be a trend of work assigning lately. I type fairly fast and I find myself getting bottom of the barrel scraps lately.
re work types
it is my understanding they have clinic work as well, but i am doing acute care.
I CAN do the other work types. Not much
experience with caths or sleep studies, but can do the basic 4 without any problem. I can do the worst of the ESLs with rarely any problems, but I sure don't want to do them all day, no matter how much they pay me.
I'm hoping things settle down. I don't plan on changing jobs, but didn't plan on changing to this one either but I didn't have a choice. I'm seriously looking to get out of the MT business, but still be at home.
Thanks. Are there certain work types that seem to need help and how are the
accounts that they have and the system they use.
Do you do all work types?

Do you do all work types? sm
I haven't had any problems running out of work. I have heard from others who only do clinic, or who don't do op notes. But everyone I have talked to who do all the work types have had no problem.
As for the ESLs, unfortunately, you can't escape them anywhere. You just have to learn to deal with them. They actually do get easier the more you do them. Not my preference, but hey, I've got a job, an income. I'm happy. :-)
WHAT ABOUT WORK TYPES, 99% ESL OR WHAT? ..
It's easy to get your lines as long as the work is there and you get a halfway decent work type, but if no one can understand the crap that's put out (call it 'work pool' set my managers)--- what difference does it make if they DO have work? They can have all the work they want - but if you have to put in 18 hours to get 8 hours worth of required lines , well, big deal if they do have work!
Could you do all work types, or were you limited?nm

New work types are being added to ML
.
Maybe they are referring to other work types
H&Ps and consults are still H&Ps and consults wherever you go. As you know, each facility will have specs, any differences (should there be any) would be listed there. The company you were talking to might have been referring to OPs, cardio and specialty procedures more so than the basics. Just an idea. I would not let that company get you down. With that much experience, you'll get a job easily enough. Good luck to you. God Bless.
Lots of different work types
.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
totally different situations between work types. nm
x
and i love it, so i can change work types
with my mood, or stop if i want to take a short break, without having to plan way ahead.
What kind of work types does Level 4 do at
x
yes, but I was told as an IC that if work was slow ICs get no work since they are nto employees
nm
I find it very hard to believe that all work types are on a 1-hour TAT(sm)
Are you talking about stats or everything? Do you have this 1-hour TAT in writing? I've never even heard of hospitals being on that tight a TAT.
I am on a new account, doing work types I cant make money on. nm

TT has all types of work & will work w/you
.
NOT TRUE! I worked every account and all work types and couldn't

Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.
Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.
I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
Phoenix MedCom - what types of accounts do they have?
I know they do a lot of teaching hospitals. Do you do a variety of work types or is it mainly OP notes? Can you make decent money even without being paid for spaces?
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
Encompass- How are the accounts and work flow? Do you have a lot of work?
I need to keep busy. I cant sit here every day hoping for work so I'm looking elsewhere.
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
You must be slow, so VR will work for you.
Personally, I could not live on 13.50 an hour, or 12 an hour or some other equally low rate of pay. That is not even typing 200 lines an hour, and if you are so experienced, you certainly did not work on your speed skills. Your editing speed is just as slow, obviously.
VR will only help people like you who are very slow at transcribing. It is not going to help those who work much faster.
IBM selectric? I knew people who could transcribe 2000 lines a day on those things. Think what they did when computers came in.
Your post is confusing to me. Yes, I use an expander and a computer,and I get paid for my work because I did the input. I am also going to have to do the input for VR but that will pay half of what I make now. Forget it, sista, I am not an idiot. And I have yet to see an ADT feed that worked without glitches.
Like I said, you sit under your mushroom, let the owner and management make money off you while you sit there and work for a rate of pay that won't allow you to buy peanuts or popcorn cuz those are luxury items on your rate of pay.
slow work
I know three gals in the same boat. Love the company... hope I don't have to find a new one!
slow work
Is this usual. Wondering if to start looking again.

Slow work
Same here, only out of work a couple of times since I starte for TT in August. By far, I am much happier with them than my previous employer.
Work slow!!!!
Is anyone else having a hard time with work right now. The company I work for is sooo slow I am bearly getting 350 lines a day! I think they may have overhired back when they were swamped in Sep. Not sure if I should look somewhere else or try and stick it out. Any suggestions?
Believe it here, work has been very slow
Again, I ask what accounts/types you are on that you have so much work, because my accounts have had little to no work at all for weeks now, and one has been slow for months. I would be willing to move to one of these busy accounts that are always being spoken of, but don't know what to ask for because nobody will actually name these very busy accounts. Thanks!
work slow down
Is anyone having problems with work slowdown with Imagestat?
