I lost money when working on Meditech.

In Reply to: Any TransTech rad employees out there? - wondering about TT
Many, many steps to get anything done. When you are paid a set amount per report, it takes you longer to get in than to type, OR, it takes you so long to get in and then longer to type a longer report that the $1.-- per report is lost. I did not stay long. Yeah the people are nice and helpful, but gotta make a livin'. Good luck.

No, I wouldn't go back. I lost too much money there ALWAYS running out of work (sm)
There were days at MQ I would type 2 reports during my shift, and I had a LOT of accounts in my pool! A friend of mine who started at the same time I did with MQ is still there and she is always out of work. I just can't take the chance.
Working in Meditech - sm
Offered a job working in Meditech. This is a Word-based Meditech program. Good, bad? Job offer great - just have never worked in Meditech before so wondering if it is difficult to learn. Doesn't sound like it.
I love working on Meditech. I find it faster than other programs. It really does sm
depend on the account, the version, your connection, etc. There is not a lot of donated time in my opinion. I type upwards of 3000 lines per day (65 character count, not gross) and only work 8 hours. The spellcheck is medical on the account I am on. I use my Expanders for everything. Most of us on the account I am on do over 1500 lines a day, so maybe different accounts are set up different at the actual hospital. I have never lost a report in the middle, although I read that a lot here. I have been working on it for over 3 years.
You'd make more money working at McDonalds. I have
20 years of experience in acute care, can do anything, including the most difficult ESL dictators. They offered me 6.5 cpl as an IC. After I stopped laughing I told them no thanks. They offered me this without any testing so it was not a reflection on my work. I may have gotten more after testing, but wasn't interested.
I make good money with them and love working there. sm
Here is why: I have one account with a backup account that I have only used twice and both times because they needed help not because my primary was slow. I do 1600+ lines in 8 hours. I started at 8 cpl and was raised to 9 cpl at 90 days. I have as much work as I want and while my PTO days are less than the last place I was for 8 years, I make more during the year. I literally made $17K more with KS last year than I did with MQ the year before. I am higher this year.
I love Chartscript. The account I am on is wonderful and yes, I use ShortHand with it.
Good to me? I made $61K last year with them and so far this year, I am at $56K, so I will pass that for sure.
No to paid holidays but if you work them, it is time and a half.
If my account needs extra help, they offer time and a half for weekends.
I would rather work for less per line and be able to do more lines than make more per line but struggle to get 1000 lines in a day.
There are nay-sayers for KS. They are strict on quality and expect everyone to work their schedule. Not all accounts are great, but that's anywhere. The only people I know who left were either let go for either quality or not working their shift or they quit because their lead was about to fire them.
Curious, can you make more money working for a hospital rather than a clinic?
I've never really did acute care and curious?
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

There are two types of Meditech. One is Meditech Magic, which has a blue sm
screen and is like WP5.1. It is a bit cumbersome but not bad once you get used to it.
The other is Meditech Client, which is WONDERFUL. It opens into Word and populates the demographics for you.
Neither are bad once you get used to them. I make great money using Magic and a lot of others complain about it.
QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,

It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
to lost at sea
Please, please email me. If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it. She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help.
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost
I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.
Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.
I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.
They lost me
And I tell others to save their money. Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us? Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost.
no msg
They lost everybody!
They did lose a TON of people, including almost everybody in management! Since the SPI takeover, they totally stopped caring about their employees and treated them all like second class citizens! I know that was my experience! I am so glad to be out of that place! I make a ton more money with my new company since I get paid for spaces now, which I did not get paid for at Cymed/SPI!
not really lost
They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really. Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything. It's just awful awful awful. Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.
They Lost
DeVenture LOST the case.
I think everyone just was lost on the ...sm
fact that referring to an Asian descent person as Oriental was not PC. I have to admit I honestly didn't know that myself. Learn something new everyday.
That isn't why you lost your job...
No one cares about what is in the medical records right now. Type it and file it and the lawsuits will come down the road... probably by that time, the company will be out of business or in India or feel they won't have to face that.
Hey, aren't we supposed to have a push to reconcile our medical records? Everyone will have a set that they can take with them to each doctor? Gee, what do you think will happen when patients find out exactly what CRAP is in their records. Can you say L-A-W-S-U-I-T? Come on, all together now...
Lost my job to EMR
They kept saying that it wouldn't happen, that they would still need us, blah, blah, blah. Then about a month and a half ago I got called into the office. Myself and the other Transcriptionist were told that as of the end of August we would be without jobs. Now, if I want to get paid at all, starting Monday I have to go in-house through the end of August and work in the medical records department. I'm switching to general and legal transcription. As soon as I can find another full-time position, I'm quitting the MT business. Although I'm sure at one point that will go by the wayside too.
Don't think we lost any........
because of losing accounts. I believe the MTs on the accounts that were lost were just redistributed amongst other existing already low-volume accounts, which helps account for the NSA that we see so often. I think it is good that a company tries to keep employess on if their account goes away, but not at the expense of others who need to make a living as well.
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
There is lost of work at MDI-FL....
Call the office and ask for another account. There are three starting tomorrow. I just got an e-mail about one with a system called Intrascript.
got that and I was one of the ones who lost their job last week....
so I am not in a good mood about the company at all right now. Don't know what they are trying to prove right now, but it is not good.
ex QA mgr lost her job for letting cat out of the bag...
and that is then I found another job as well.
Other lost accounts?
Besides the 120 account and Florida Hospital (don't know that site #), what other accounts have been dropped lately? I don't know about acute care or clinic sites, but ER has been very, very slow for the past 3 weeks or so. I don't know if it is all related to the loss of 120 or if there are others that haven't been mentioned yet.
wonder why we lost all these accounts?
Does anyone know what happened? Why did we lose them all at once?
They lost a lot of us, now, didnt they?
They will realize that  doesnt cut it.
Other accounts have been lost too. It would
be nice if someone would at least tell us what was going on so we can decide what we need to do. I laughed about the Indian signing the paycheck. While they do or did have an Indian working in the office I hardly think they are going to send the payroll to India.
that account was lost too nm

Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
For those who lost their jobs at QT (sm)
How were you all informed about the closing of QT? I hope you all found homes. Good luck to everyone of you going through this.
account lost was....
I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost. All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them. There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+. The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more. Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired. TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them. More and more, the doctors were going to the other service. We were all let go on 1/30.
If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today.
lost report
Did you lose your C-phone audio? Make sure you have that first. If not, email your supervisor ASAP. To get the transcription back, go back into Bayscribe and pull up the template for the kind of report you were on. Then hit Alt+R and it will retrieve reports you have done or are working on. The first one that comes up should be your report and very little should be lost on it.
Don't feel sorry for me as I have lost nothing nm
xx
FYI, MDI has NEVER lost a client.

What are your guesses? You lost us.
NM
you lost 40% this time.
How long do you think your 401K will last if you lose 40% every quarter? It's basic math. It won't last forever.
Has anyone lost their primary?
What happened? How did your company handle it? Did they even tell you? Was anyone quietly pushed out the door only to find out later it was because their primary dropped?
I feel like I am all of a sudden getting pushed out the door, and I know my primary renewal date is coming up shortly.
Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. Any signs that I should be looking for (both with regards to work itself and how I am being treated)?
Thanks
Actually, if I ever lost this job and had to switch
companies, I'd have to take a cut in pay according to what I've been seeing, so I'd be well below cost of living increases... It's the nature of this crazy MT business. Work harder, faster, know more, get more experience, and make less and less and less as the years go on, while the prices of everything keep going up...
