Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005.  Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:

1.  Did your cpl change?  Higher?  Lower?

2.  Did you have to go to a set schedule?

3.  Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?

Any other information you could share would sure be great.

Thank you. 

I must be mentally insufficient to utilize these new-fangled gizmos.

I was not employed there then.  I have been there a little over 2 years.  I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs.  We have more than doubled in size since then.  I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.

Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business. 

In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:

1.  They treat their MTs like they should be treated. 

2.  They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated. 

3.  The platform is great. 

4.  We do not run out of work and they do not overhire. 

5.  They offer great benefits.

6.  Great management and editors.

After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.

Thank you very much for alerting us to this. 

I am ex-MW employee.  I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported.  I hope they are FULLY investigated.

I am going to call SS in the morning.  Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?

I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company. 

A couple of things here...

First of all, I want to thank all who responded to my post about MQ and OSi slamming and stuff like that.  It was interesting to say the least and very informative and I appreciate it.  Although it is sad to see so much bashing and slamming going on here, and quite frankly, I have even seen some very mean posts.  Moderator, thank you for not deleting that post!  And please don't delete  this one either!  Thanks.

Secondly, I noticed a response from RadGuy in that thread that it's good to see another guy on the board!  Yeah, it kinda is.  You see, when I went to college to learn this particular trade, I had no idea it was predominantly a female profession, little did I know!  And eventually, I came across a lady who was looking for someone with five years of experience to do a pathology account for her.  I had NO experience back in 1990.  But she took me on and trained me anyway, and now I LOVE pathology.  Wouldn't trade it for the world. 

Anyways, my point is, you have a RadGuy, now you got a PathGuy!!!!!  yayyyy!!!!

And that is one of the reasons I kept coming to this board was to see if any companies would hire for at-home pathology work.  Much to my dismay, no dice.  I have been offered to test for a job to do veterinary pathology from home though!!   Wow, never thought I would be doing pathology reports on patients named fluffy or spot...LOL!!  But in any case, I would really love to learn radiology in the meantime, so RadGuy (or anyone else for that matter), if you have any information on how to go about that, I would be quite grateful.  What I would like to know is where to get radiology tapes, sample dictation, etc. etc., it would be a great help.

Take care all.........

eternally in PATHOLOGY.......PathGuy!!

When you pay 2 employees at 6 cpl that produce 100 lph of junk (based on inexperience), and then have to pay QA whatever amount to fix that, you are actually costing your company more $$$$$$.

Why not pay 1 skilled MT/ME 11 cpl to produce 250 lph (and up) of quality work and hire less QA.  Then, the QA staff you have can do their job of an occasional fill in the blank and not the current status of FIX ENTIRE REPORT. 

See how much money you can save??????????

confused on this - REALLY I AM!! Companies that offshore can now post jobs on the job seeker board??  I looked around for the posting that said that companies can do this, but I cannot find it. 

Please do not delete my post.  I am serious about my question and I am not being sarcastic. 

something they just found out and all along it has been giving you MORE lines and this note was to inform that it is now corrected and what you see is truly your line count.  This, of course, would make your true line count seem lower but would now be accurate and all this time you have actually been overpaid?

I am not saying this is the actual case, but the note was very vague and could be a notification to the MT that things were not adding up in the past correctly and the situation has now been resolved.  This would leave the MT thinking they are being skimped now, but in actuality they are now receiving their true line count. 

Just a thought!
