Seem great so far. This account I am doing has some funky things going on with carbon copies that I can't seem to get my head around, but otherwise like it.

I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
DSG out of Atlanta.
I have worked for them since November and love it. Very helpful, friendly staff and the QA feedback is also very helpful. Pay is ALWAYS on time and I always get immediate responses. I have been in the hospital recently (complications during early pregnancy) and they have been ultra supportive and understanding. I love DSG and feel very blessed to be employed as an IC with them!
DSG, Atlanta
Anyone working for DSG, Atlanta? Would appreciate any information about this company. Read prior post about their sound quality not being good but otherwise seemed a good company. Any additional input would be appreciated Know they use Docuscribe. Thanks in advance!

Looking for company around Atlanta
I am supposed to be working today but again, no work. I need a job where I can most of the time be assured there is going to be work there, not a hit and a miss type situtation. Have loads of experience, fast speed, want a good platform and because of the problems with ULD, want to get work in my area code (here we have 3 different ones- 404, 678 and 770). Anyone out there know of any companies close around that fit this profile? Thanks

I'm pretty sure they are still seeking more transcriptionists. Sorry to respond so late to your post. Hope this is useful.
ATLANTA HOSPITALS
I am not sure about St. Joseph, Grady or Atlanta Medical, but my husband used to work at Emory and they have outsourced everything they can..he was laid off during all the change about 3 years ago.
A new nonprofit board just took over running Grady, so no telling what is going on there....
I live south of Atlanta (Griffin area) and all hospitals in this area outsource.
I heard through the grapevine that Southern Regional (Riverdale) let their radiology transcriptionists go not too long ago, but don't know about HIM.
But, if you happen to find a hospital that still has in-house, please let me know!!!!
Is this Paradigm out of Atlanta?
If so, I worked for them about 5 years ago. They were wonderful, paid very well. At that time I lived locally to them and only quit because I was moving out of state (I know, these days you don't have to quit because of moving) and they were my second job. I would go back in a second if at all feasible.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm

Any feedback would be greaty appreciated. Trying to decide where to go or if should stay??

available but couldn't hurt to try.

Re: Wordspeed in Atlanta, Georgia
I have worked for Wordspeed since March 2006 and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. At that time, I switched my employment from Medquist to Wordspeed, and, unlike MedQuist, Wordspeed ALWAYS has a full workload for everyone, all the time, 7 days a week. The owners/supervisors are the husband-wife team of Ron and Charlotte Wojcik (pronounced WOY-chick), and their professional attitudes and sheer professional expertise way surpass anything I ever experienced at MedQuist. If you are interested in working for Wordspeed, feel free to call them directly at (770) 516-6235 or write them at:

I was hired by them...sm
I would stay away. I got the job and never started with them. They want to charge rent for the footpedal. When I asked about buying it, they said it costs $500. When I received the pedal, it was no different than the $30 ones (seen on internet) that all the other services just give out and then toss when they break. I felt like I was going to be ripped off.
Thank you. When I got hired on, I was
so excited. A good friend of mine had suggested to me to try to get on.
When I got hired and told her, she asked what I was getting for a base rate. She works out of the same "region". She didn't believe me so I showed her my paperwork. I had no idea what they were/are paying anyone else. She gets 8.75 cpl. She wasn't too happy...but with MQ, not with me. It's not my fault what the game is with their pay.
I may not always have good line counts. I may get shoved around to another account or several more and my lines will drop. I hope not. I'm hoping to stay where I am but if not, then I will have to work harder. That's just the name of the game, well to me at least.
I responded to someone else in this same thread somewhere that when I left the hospital, they were doing the same crappy thing with pay. When I hired in, it was all the same "start pay". Then later they decided to change the payscale according to years of experience, even for starting. So, all the new hires -- even with less experience than I -- were making sometimes THREE DOLLARS an hour more than I was. And they didn't have to do Op Notes because they didn't know how. I was the ONLY Transcriptionist who could work on every software package they had and do every single worktype, including pathology and EP lab, etc., that they had. Really irked me. I begged and begged and tried to negotiate an "adjustment" in my pay but they always had an excuse as to why they couldn't. I quit and started with MQ.
I know that it is impossible for any company or hospital to make ALL employees happy but it sure seems like they would want to have a little more consistency in what they offer. I worked for a clinic not that long ago that negotiated your hourly wage. I told them what I thought was a high hourly (for this region and for the simple work it was) and they hemhawed around about it but gave it to me. A month later, a young 'un who was really good but still not as fast or experienced came on board with us. She told me she had been hired on for a rate that was $4 more than I. I thought she was trying to upset everyone but then she showed us her check stub...I nearly fainted. I was getting $12 and she was getting $16.
Right now, I'm happy to be here. That tune may change! LOLOLOL I hope not but it might!
Anyway, thank you for the NICE post.
LOL! I'm not the OP. I'm trying to get hired!
Sounds great, doesn't she?
I think I'm hired...sm
I made it through what I think is the last process of being hired; interviewing with the owner. There are so many things about the company that I like, and I really want the job. For that reason, I may have been a little overzealous with the owner, but his last words were "you'll be hearing from us". I think that's probably a good sign, right?
I like the fact that they assign one doctor (with option to cross-train). You are required to type 1000 lines a day (I don't think that should be hard with the same doctor). They say you can set your own hours, but work must be done within 24 hours, and you must work the hours you set. I had a previous job that allowed cherry-picking, so I think that won't be a problem here.
Dental/health is the most affordable I've seen yet.
You accrue one day a month for time off. It's all clinic work, so no weekends or holidays unless you want to.
The best part was that the recruiter I talked to is also a Transcriptionist for them, and she's been there for quite a few years. She shared alot of information that a transcriptionist would want to know. Most times, you don't find out that kind of information until you're already into the job.
The process was very quick. I sent my test back on Saturday, interviewed with recruiter and the owner on Thursday. The best part was all this is done by e-mail and telephone!
I think they are a very organized company.
I just hired on with them. SM
They pay very well, have absolutely fantastic benefits, and very generous PTO and great insurance at a reasonable cost. In these days, you couldn't ask for more. Everyone I have talked to so far has been wonderful. I am looking forward to working for them.
I was just hired there and was
was told the hourly job is only for graveyard shift,
If you were hired before Nov 1
you will get a productive incentive, if you were hired after Nov 1, nothing. That is what my hiring coordinator told me. No shift diff, no incentive, but they raised their line rates. I am new, but this is what I was told when I was hired. A word of warning, forget the any help if you have IT problems for hours or even a day. You have to e mail them and wait for a response.
I just got hired by them.....sm
but haven't started working yet. I'm still waiting for my paperwork, foot pedal, software, etc. From what I read, they seem to be a great company to work for. They hire employee status only, no ICs. I believe there is an incentive program for full time (I'll be working part time, so I'm not exactly sure of what it is). They also seem to be flexible with hours worked (no strict hours or punching in, but it sounds like you have a window of time to get your work done). I'm sure the recruiter can give you more information. The pay is pretty decent also.
Good luck!
