That would depend on your client base -
meaning if you have hospital accounts - the platform will have to interface with the hospital system.
If it is physician practices, that would be much easier.
You would probably need to sell your platform to your clients. Not quite sure what you are in need of; however, see what your clients are using and go from there. It can be very tricky and very costly.
Good luck!
BASE at TT might be 4 cpl but if that's ALL you make
What with all the built-in incentives and bonuses, etc., and you're only making BASE pay, that's the MTs problem, not TT's problem. They certainly provide ample monetary incentive to do above and beyond the minimum.
I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only
s
And 8.5 is just the base so you'll make more
:)
Prior search shows 8.5 cpl for FT benefit position. Do you still make this base pay after 1-1/2

Hey, I don't make the rules - the client does! SM
This is what the CLIENT has told us. They don't want us "padding" with "This is" or adding extra words to make complete sentences. I'm as bound by these rules as the MTs!
there are too many who don't make you sign.
I have 3 jobs and need them to feed my family. That's life. Don't do it.
No. The paper they make you sign
says $125 (I guess to reimburse them for sending it to you in the first place) and for returning it.
Oops! - Make that ominous sign (sm)
So adjectives aren't my strong point.
Base rates with National incluidng shift differential. Smaller - base rate 11 cpl. nm

Well, sign me up.. I want a job where I make half until I am up to the Wicked Witch's standards
Geez.. what are they trying to say, you'll get a raise when what freezes over. They have got to be kidding and boy for all that money you wont be earning you'll need to go out and buy some equipment for almost $200, which will probably take you a few months to pay off at the rate they want to pay. What a joke.. Give me a break. Thanks for sharing that great job opportunity haha
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm
Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them?
I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.
I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.
I hope that was of some help.
I believe with pre-existing conditions sm
and signing on as a new employee you are automatically covered under the open enrollment rule. At least that was what I was told when I changed jobs. I had my certificate of credible coverage but the transcription company and the insurance company didn't need it.
I don't know about pre-existing conditions as there
isn't anything I've had to deal with, but I was impressed with how good the insurance was and how inexpensive it was, especially compared to most plans. The company also provides some benefits free, such as vision, and long/short-term disability.
If IC's can't join EXISTING unions, then maybe
it's time for MTs to form a union that DOES include IC's, especially since they are a large part of this industry. They deserve better wages, too.
If at all possible, hold on to your existing job and try out the other job. BTDT. nm

i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
the rest
Pregnancy is excluded from pre-existing conditions. nm

I have a question regarding pre-existing and insurance policies if anyone can help me. sm
I haven't had insurance in a long time but my DH is coming up to qualify for insurance in July. It is BC/BS and is $305/mo for he and I with $2000 deductible. I have been having a lot of medical issues lately. I see on the paperwork it asks for proof of insurance for the last 18 months. I don't have any. Anybody know what they will do about pre-existing? I could go to a doc where nothing is documented but at this point I am not sure if it is better for me to search my own policy or get on his given my medical situations. I don't know how the pre-existing things work.
Any of you TransTech MT's have pre-existing condition, and what are requirements by Aetna/Coventr
If an employee has a preexisting condition from several years back, but has not had treatment of any kind for that same condition for the past years, is that still considered a preexisting condition? The new insurance will not pay for ANY preexisting conditions. Am I right about that?
If anyone has hands-on experience with this, please respond. TIA
SE...0.095 cpl base...
I can earn up to 2 cpl extra if I type at least 16,000 lines in a payperiod.
I have to type a minimum of 6000 lines in a payperiod.
I am happy with this.
Base is very low
But they talk about incentives! Ah yes, incentives. Only now an incentive is being FORCED to work off hours, weekends, late nights, etc., to make decent money. Apparently MTing has now turned to settling. Do you want benefits, then low pay. Decent hours, then low pay. BUT be an IC and we'll throw you a whole penny more cause you get nothing else of course!
5 yrs ago I got 9 base from them.
I don't think 9.5 cpl is a low base rate.
I like DQS so far. I'm doing pretty good. Of course, I'm still learning my docs and putting in expansions but I'm doing about 240 to 260 lines an hour. I think that is pretty good for just getting started with them.
I don't care what other people make on their base rate, or how many lines they type. I have to pay for my living expenses and not theirs.
Once again you are way off base. I can only speak for myself
and about 20 other people who left OSi a little while back and we are all doing great, couldn't be happier, all working for a great company with awesome people. To be quite honest with you....you are our entertainment!
If things were so good at OSi you wouldn't be on here trying to draw MTs in for them. OSi is over, face it punkin!
What is their base pay, Diskriter?
Anyone work for them now know their base rate of pay? 12 cpl sounds reasonable to me. 
That is the BASE ... you get EXTRA for
shift differential, weekend differential, QA percentage differential, and line differential - FOUR on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
A whole 2 cpl above base?? You must be rolling in

I would not base my decision on
what this board has to say. These boards are used as a place to vent. It doesn'the matter where you work, some people will be unhappy. I have worked for Transend for over 2 years and the only complaint I have is that the insurance is not what I would like to see. It is quite high and the deductibles are quite high.
Use your own judgement. If you would rather do E-Bay, by all means that is what you should do. Personally I do not like the packaging, mailing, posting, leaving feedback and everything that goes with each transaction. Too much to keep track of.
You are way off base lady
I have worked with Holocaust survivors, have you? Ive worked cleaning their rooms taking people for walks, holding hands, listening to stories of horror and hope, shared art therapy moments, given hugs and support. Dont you dare judge me. You are way out of line, whoever you are. If you get nothing else from what I've written here, get this: No one wants to be labeled a victim. You have absolutely no right.
Peace.
HOWEVER, that is base rate
Transtech pays more for evening, more for nights, more for weekends, plus they have a tiered plan. The more lines you type the more you make. You can start out making 10 cpl if you are good and are not lazy. You also get extra for not sending a bunch of stuff to QA.
No need to add  when you don't state all the facts.
8.75 cpl base plus up to 2 cpl incentive, acute, MQ. nm
.
Huh? When did 9.5 cents base per line become...
nm
base rate.... my thoughts
I find it hard to believe you were STARTED at 9.5 cpl. I have been there 8 years, just asked for a raise, and they told me no because I was at 9 cpl already! (like that's something great!) So if in fact you were started at 9.5 cpl, what's up with that? Something sure doesn't seem right here, but I'm waiting to see what this new pay plan is about, and if it doesn't set well with me, bye, bye MQ!
It's obvious I don't base my choices
by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
it depends on where in NY you live and how you want to base that - sm
I have lived all over NY state and have been doing this for over 12 years. It really really depends on what part of NY that you live in. For example, because some parts of NY have really slim pickings for transcriptionists, the doctors will pay up to $0.14/line in some small backwoods town. However, in the bigger cities, you might only get $0.09/line.
I could go on and on, but first thing - what part of NY are we talking about?
I didn't take the job, but I was offered 9 cpl base.
the 2 top nat'ls pay 1.5 base rate
is that what you mean?
No, they pay 80% of your MT base line rate.

Can't base any decisions on what you see on MQ board sm
People come and go all the time. Some leave and then decide to come back. There have been changes but that happens anywhere. Personally, I really like it. Decent benefits, wages and I like the platform. I never run out of work and get paid on time.
After reading some of the posts of other companies, I don't see how anyone can say MQ is that bad.
We are on a tier system, Base pay
for so many per pay period, then increased in 0.5 cpl increments for so many lines up to a maximum.
7.5 is the base pay for transcription...but there is none anymore...
...WebmedX is completely VR now... :(
Good to know. Didn't know there was a base raise
//
well I was lucky, the base rate is 6 but my mom used to know one of the owners
and they will get me in the promotion for the QA department. They said that they like to give the jobs to the new girls because it is exciting and they are right about excitement. I think it just helps to know the right people and I really do appreciate it. They are all so friendly. And the operations lady and in charge of radiology is Pepper, and Flo is the manager of QA. Just call them and they can give you more information about pay etc. The phone number is 1-866-552-1515

Yeah, but if you don't mind a low BASE rate!

This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not
cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor. The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames. At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down.
If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate. Posters need to use tact when posting.
Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.

Poll: What % of base rate does your company pay for ME?
MQ - 70% of base rate for ME.
Oops, I'm now getting 0.1075 base rate.

To those who chirp in about TransTech's base rate
There is a base rate, but everyone gets more than that. There are FOUR additions to that depending on shift, weekend work, QA percentage, and line count (which alone can be as much as 1 cpl going back to line 1) - FOUR additions on top of the base rate. If you don't work for TT you have no business chirping in. You get paid OT for holidays whether you are scheduled or not. You rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas, never both in one year. I have been around the MTSO block. Transtech is the BEST. Period.
