Great company with good rate offer
nice people in the management too.
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
line rate is low, but platforms are great
if you aren't someone who can totally work on your own from the beginning, you probably won't like it there as they do not provide much in the way of training, and getting a question answered is practically impossible.
I guess there is something to be said for them leaving you alone to type, I'm at another company now and I get about 500 IMs a day from the account lead with gobbledygook like way to go team - yes it's nice to get a pat on the back once in a while, but 20 times a day doesn't help my production any.
Okay, I'm now off topic, but TTS might be a good fit if you don't mind figuring everything out for yourself.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

great line rate? I suppose that rules out the beast
haha
Nada...... Can't complain though, great line rate is worth no extra gifts at X-mas. nm

Good line rate, benes and ins.
Have been with Webmedx a while and they offer BCBS, Delta Dental, disability and life ins, plus PTOs. Line rate, supervision, work platform and company are all awesome in my book. Been an MT for 20 years....Good luck. Hope this helps.
That is good pay for low line rate. I would be happy with that! nm

What is a good line rate for editing? nm
nm
Of course, depends on your line rate, but $700.00 is very good for MT right now. I can make over
that if the work is available, and I put in more than 40 hours. I think to make $1000.00 you need to have lots of expansions and dictators with which you are familiar, IMHO.
Really? I thought it sounded like a good line rate.
nm
Your line rate is good for clinic work.
nm
Good thing they do because their line rate is marginal.

That's a pretty good offer. Does the line rate go up for over 175 lph? sm
Will you have VR thrown in there also?
Looking for part-time work with good line rate.
I have loads of acute care experience and I am dependable. I never miss a day of work, willing to work weekends, etc. I am looking for a dependable company with steady work. Any ideas?
My company ups the line rate for several months SM
while we learn. Then on our own. This all really relates to how good a system your company has and how smooth the progression is with your account, which also relates to how good a supervisor you have. Mine is very good.
I'm trying to understand, is everyone upset over VR or drop in pay due to VR? I assume it's the later.
I would really say to at least give it a try. I'm not management.
I'm not even sure how much longer MT will be in existence. If you want to ride this thing out, get used to VR.
Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm
nm
Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

The hospital may pay a line rate to the VR company based on usage...nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
I've had great luck. it is hit or miss as with ANYWHERE..
depends what they are looking for at any given time.
Sponsors, companies know. can see through the padding.
Great job!! That is awesome! Best of luck!
large national whom we all know and love, I am routinely beyond appalled at the junk they produce overseas. It is beyond dreadful. It is dangerous and lethal to our patients. I refused to edit it, personally, and resigned over it. Glad to know others are fighting for us. Its a disgrace beyond measure - rather along the lines of priceless, me thinks! Best of luck! Go get 'em!
Just checked line count for another GREAT Extext company
nm
Cbay used to give great bonuses. Going to miss that

Worked out to a pretty good hourly rate, just not the right company for me. nm

I am looking for a company where I can work as an IC for good lph rate part-time...
I am needing to supplement my income, as I am the sole provider for my family due to hubby recovering from illness. I would like to find a good company with good pay (9-11 cpl), part-time employee status or IC, hopefully providing all necessary equipment. I have been searching the archives all day and have not come up with any other than Webmedx, but it sounds as if I would be doing mostly ESL to make the higher lph. I could possibly come up with the PC if I needed to. I have 8 years acute care experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you don't feel comfortable posting, I have included my e-mail address. Thanks much in advance for all your help 
webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm
nm
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
s
Good company (not absolutely great). Been with
them for almost a year (March will be a year). Lots of work. Does not offshore. Pays well. You will read good and bad. I just have no complaints at this time and I have been doing MT for 16 years. Good luck in whatever decision you make.
Great company, better than average pay, good
benefits. The account that they are hiring for is a very challenging, high volume ESL account. Some people do okay on it, others just aren't able to do the work. The platform is Lotus Notes, but basically you type in Word, use SpeedType (same as ShortHand). They provide all hardware/software. They are pretty strict on schedule, not much leeway, though if you need off for an appointment there isn't a problem. QA is strict, minimum QA score is 98.5, 1200 lines/day. Good tech support. You get your QA'd reports back daily. Lately there has been a lot of OT on the weekends.
They are making a transition to something similar to VR. They are starting out slow with one account, one work type, but within a year hope to transition more accounts.
They pay for downtime. Pay is DD, always on time and correct.
Oh, yeah, I miss that gross line, too....
but I came from a 65-char company originally so I just look at it as back to same ol, same ol. But yeah, I do miss those gross lines...
Overall I haven't had too much problem adjusting, but then I was just grateful to be working again. And I also like the flexibility; I'm glad I didn't go to WMX with some of the rest.
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them
nm
Overall it is a good company. Your paycheck, however, depends on the account SM
you have, and your level. I am currently a level 8 with a high number of ESLs. I like Spheris the company though, but dislike my account.
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company
nm
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm
incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time. The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus. I have been there since October and am very happy. Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.
Good luck! 
GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account. It has it all. But they use MedRite. This is awful! Was this actually designed for an MT? This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep. Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief! Is there anyone who has used this? Are there any tips you could give me?
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
As for Miss "Misery wants company"
Maybe one day she'll choke on those sour grapes (or he, whichever the case may be). Her (or his) posts have gotten way past tiresome.
awesome company
AccuStat Carolinas is a great company. Myself and many co-workers all keep in touch across the country as we all work for AccuStat and we all love them. The people are great to work for, pay is on time and the work is plentiful. The managers really help and get you going so their support is the best I have found in this market really!
Thumbs up for this company for sure!
Awesome company...
I've been with them since the end of March and they don't expect you to start out at 700 lines a day. I started at a very low number (don't remember off hand)and have increased it by 50 per week. I will be up to 700 lines per day by the end of the May. Platform is great and the team is of people are awesome to work for, too. I plan to go full-time just as soon as I quit my other very flex part-time company and the two places are like day and night! MDI appreciates their people! Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely interested, check them out and talk to their recruiter.
Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
