Ditto. I stopped even reading the company board recently
I could not even get through the conversations to the real information on companies. I come here to be informed and to be supportive, but it has gotten tiring going through the constant redundant arguing. I almost gave coming here but it is part of my day. I just come here less now.
Wow. Back to read my answers, and after reading
the angry KS lead below, I'm reluctant to apply at all, resume or no resume. I understand being frustrated with posts - but that fighting back on and on makes me nervous. Oh dear. I want calm - I've been on a sinking ship for a long time, and I need calm waters.
Scan Medical or Scan transcription

Anyone with info on them, any info I can get before I start working for them as far as work, pay on time, etc.?


Thanks.


scan
yes, they are good to work for, strictly IC, local accounts.
Scan
She is good to work for as far as pay on time, flexibility, etc.  The accounts are heavy ESL as stated before.  Weekends are mandatory but you choose the time, so its not too bad.  Good luck and welcome aboard.
Scan
I work there, you can e-mail me directly if you have questions. 
Scan
I can tell you this, if you do your required lines and do a good job, when the work is low you will be kept working and others will be called off that continually don't meet their expectations.
Scan

The only thing I have ever heard that vaguely resembled a threat is when the accounts are backed up and people don't pitch in, she will mention that while she doesn't want to hire, she might have to, and that could end up meaning less work for the people who want/need it.  Also, I may have not been threatened because I always do meet my line commitment and if I can't and know it it advance then I let her know.  That's common consideration. 
scan medical

They called me in the past but now I cannot find their information.  Anyone have it?  thanks.


Anyone work for Scan Svc. in MI. nm

scan medical
I do know that the client has had to take work back from this work pool as all of the transcriptionists failed to work their required lines and work was at TAT.
Please just scan through and ignore any MQ news. (sm)
As with any company, when something new comes up there are quite a few posts about it, this happens to be a large company and has a lot of employees.

Just scan through the headings, you don't have to open each one. I bet it will only take a few minutes to do.

Have a nice day.
Scan Medical Services, LLC

in North Branch, Michigan--anyone know anything about this company??


does anyone knows about scan med? pls give me some feedback.
thanks in advance

Yes, they are reliable as far as a company. Pay is on time and direct deposit and they utilize DocQScribe. I left because even though I have HEAVY ESL experience, these were some of the worst dictators I had ever had
What is Scan Medical like to work for?
:
Go scan the word help board
Grab a cup of coffee, a bowl of popcorn, whatever. Just read. Asking what a TAH-BFO is. A lab collie. A CPC with elevated white count. Enjoy, wallow in it, and then get back to me on what a US MT would know and wouldn't know.
Why can't they be stopped from doing this? It's been

Has anyone heard if Scan Medical Services

They made me an offer to work IC for them.

Stopped by to ask the same thing.

Maybe you did not do enough that they would know that you stopped OR maybe they were glad to see you
and you saved them the time of terminating you. HA!
I believe they have stopped hiring PT, only FT

I stopped speaking out because SM

in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company.  It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.


The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.


Me too. I have stopped even considering anywhere else. I am here until retirement.
And that is such a stress-free thing, never to have to retrain for a new company again!
So what stopped you from speaking SM

to your supervisor before?  Are you saying that you've been sitting there feeling bad about your financial situation all this time and just today decided to call and DO something about it?


I think maybe the Grinchy bully (and I am not serious when I say that, I feel he/she was truly helping you) motivated you to take some action.


I stopped about a year ago and

Don't miss it one bit and making more money - including benefits, PAID vacation, no work on weekends and holidays, etc.  I'm 52 years old and couldn't be happier with deciding to get out.  I still visit this board and the same things are being said about this profession that was said 10+ years ago.  This field will NEVER change.....so I did.


 



Any info on Scan Medical Services, LLC out of Michigan?
Has anyone worked for them? Are they reliable? Pay on time, etc?
I had the same problem with them. I stopped working for them as well. They
kept forgetting to pay me for spaces. At first, I was told that they did not pay for spaces, but I had an email  stating that she did pay for spaces; so, I copied the email to them and got a check for the difference.  Each paycheck was incorrect and I kept having to call them to get them to correct it.  Seach the archives.  I am not the only one this happened to.  After I stopped working for them, It took them 6 months to send me my last paycheck. 
I can see your point but I stopped beig a
A company I worked for once sent out an email from the OWNER asking all of us loyal to her (cough, spew) would keep a list of screen names of people with bad attitudes so they would be sure to not hire them or to fire them if they were already working for that company. I turned notice that day and went to a professional MTSO.

They must have stopped doing so. I worked there as an IC for a while in the past.
xx
I, for one, am glad those emails stopped:-)
They were constantly interrupting my work and really made no difference to me. I work my shift and I can tell by the times of the jobs if we're on schedule or not. Of course, I'm radiology and for some reason I was also getting acute care updates, so double whammy.
Why has Amphion overtime been stopped?

I was thinking of applying with them mainly because of that.  Like the person asked below has the overtime policy changed or are they just caught up?



they stopped due to the banking crisis
oct/nov
I worked for a company that stopped DD as JLG did. They
went belly up a short time later.  The company was local to JLG.   I didn't buy the bank instability crap that was being posted about JLG.  I personally don't know any details, but having been through a similar situation I would be VERY concerned. 
I agree 100%, I stopped coming to this
board for a long time because of it and I hesitate to ask a question or make a comment because you never know who will blast you, so
Thank You!!
I stopped thinking of this as a profession
and now think of it as a job. Fortunately, in the days of when MTs were of value and were paid accordingly, I paid off my house and don't have that hanging over my head. If I had not, being single, I would not be able to pay my house payment today. No pay raise for so many years I can't remember and now seeing post after post about 7 cents per 65 character line and people taking these jobs, it will be more like community service.

I am making sure I put some money away each payday because when that day comes, I'm going to apply at Target or the local Goodwill. I really do mean that. I have worked for 26 years now doing this. I have a dozen years left to work before I can retire.

We were not overpaid when we were making money. We were paid accordingly.

As far as recommending this line of work to someone, that is something I never would do.

Thought so, I stopped testing! sm

I never finished all the testing and thought it was ridiculous!   I felt exactly like you are feeling. 


This doesn't make sense to me either. Scan is advertising for MTs but there is no work?
What's up with company who constantly overhire when they can't even keep their current employees happy. I certainly won't be applying there.
I have been there 5 years. What changed? They stopped catering to sm
employees who walked all over them and started recognizing those of us that do a good job. They took away ICs and made people accountable for their commitments. They added benefits, added direct deposit, got a bigger office, added more staff in the office, and continued to grow.

I honestly believe that it was a very few people who were saying the negative comments but they were loud and had time on their hands.

They then moved to another company and decided to bash them, then another company and bash them, and so on. There are some people that never are happy and those that are let go tend to be the nasty ones on the boards.

The only problem I ever had was one check 4 years ago but direct deposit solved all that.

I think the owner let go a little where needed and stopped taking it all so personally. She is a tough one now but still nice, if that makes sense, just doesn't take cr*p from everyone.
I am on there too. I stopped posting much anymore because the bashers. sm
We were accused by nasty posters that we air dirty laundry on here. Other times, we are too cheerful. Other times, we must be management. Because of that, I tend not to post. Should we ask them to get a yahoo board or something? How about the intranet? Does that have a board?
I hope your friend has stopped working for her.
 
Havent been at Scan Medical too long but finding the work drying up. Anyone else there
notice this. 
I am only part time but I work for Scan Medical Serv. and another company and I am just asking
if other MTs are seeing their work getting very sparse with this company and if she has lost work or what the problem is. I am thinking of moving on to another job offer if this continues.
Transcription Matchmaker stopped working w/ Cbay
Heard same feedback from other MTs.
I use to work there, question for you, have they stopped the incessant micromanaging
and sending you so many instant messages it is impossible to do your work? I know loads that used to work there, all gone, horrible experiences. What a nightmare!
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
