    BEWARE OF ANDREA RENNER. SHE IS NO PAY.

     Andrea, or aka whatever else you are calling yourself these days.  Keep in the forefront of your twisted cheating mind: What goes around comes around -- and soon.

    Andrea Renner with Alltype?
    Can you please provide specifics of what you are talking about?
    ANDREA RENNER QUESTION
    I almost was recruited by Andrea Renner a few weeks ago, but cancelled because something just did not seem right.  She was calling herself ALLTYPE.  Does this mean that she is posing as a recruiter for ALLTYPE, but IS NOT REALLY ALLTYPE?
    Andrea Renner and companies
    I don't know if the Andrea Renner with AllType is the same BIG LIAR who owns Priority Medical.  Check out BBB.  However, I have heard that she might be running a coding company now while at the same time working for two or three other companies and stealing their clients silenty.
    Andrea Renner-AllType
    Can anyone clarify if this means that Alltype is not a good company to work for?
    Lovely.
    She must not want to retain any good MTs and have massive turnover.
    What a lovely thing to say.

    how lovely to diagnose me, since
    x
    can all you lovely MDI-Marylanders tell me
    if they give you a computer or do you need your own?  Also, I know you need unlimited distance for the cphone accounts, so can you let me know if you feel the pay you get outweighs knowing you have the cost of unlimited distance plan?  Thank you so much and please forgive me if my last question sounds unintelligible. 
    It's a lovely company....(sm)
    ...to work for. The Bayscribe platform is very easy to work with and I loved it. I left for health some health issues at the time, but I would return in a minute if I did not need insurance! I found them to be flexible, grateful and rewarding when you met or exceeded their expectations.
    But it's such FUN and a lovely way to pass the time - sm
    just watch the flashlight go Left - Right - Left - Right -- Uh, Oh, I think I've been hypnotized already... and it's for free!  (Too poor to pay a therapist/hypnotist). 
    Lovely to hear the voice of reason regarding sm
    accusations of overhiring! When I post that I seldom run out of work, people say oh you must have a bunch of accts. I have 3-4 regularly and I'm willing to go with the flow for occasional out of work situations during the day.
    TransTech sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
    Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
    just spoke to her - THEY DO NOT
    NM
    Spoke with them last Fri
    and the recruiter told me that they don't really do part-time anymore.  However, she also told me she would either email me over the weekend or call me Monday to let me know she had worked out a schedule for me...and that didn't happen.  *pout*
    I agree. I just spoke with NY and they said
    an emphatic, "NO".
    I did take their test and spoke with them sm
    The dictators from the test weren't that bad and they are actually from the oncology acct I would have been on.  I think the pay was about 8 cpl and you'd be an IC with a line requirement of 1500 a day.  That's really all I can remember.  I just didn't want to be an IC.
    Very low pay when I spoke with them 1-1/2 years ago. nm
    x
    I spoke with her and she was very nice. (nt)
    xx
    You said you spoke to the owner.
    You are not credible.
    Why I spoke with the owner - sm
    SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
    I also spoke with the owner for the same
    exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
    Is that company you spoke of . .
    Is that company you spoke of hiring IC?  I have a part-time gig typing ER notes now and I'm not really happy there.  Some QA people are so nice and polite and very helpful when you have a blank/question, but others are down right mean and rude -- very unprofessional.  I have a ton of experience typing clinic -- not much ER.  It is so hard to find companies that hire for clinic dictation and actually have enough work.  The pool is almost always dry at the hospital.  I really love typing ortho and oncology.  Was hopeful to find full-time clinic work again in either of those two areas.  I am so glad to hear from MTs who have found a light at the end of the tunnel.  I worked for a few bad apples too.  I get a lot of offers, but from crap companies.  I was beginning to wonder if there were any good places left out there.
    I got the call to and spoke with her...
    The company's website is www.alsi-llc.com . She said she was looking for well versed rad MTs to work on VA hospital accounts..pay is 7 cpl.


    ITA. I'm going one now who if he spoke up and wasn't

    banging what s/l a stapler while dictating I might be able to do him.   He has a very strong accent and I was halfway through the report before I learned the accent and after I finish I'll go back and relisten. 


    I spoke too soon I must need new glasses
    .
    I just spoke with the HR representative
    on Friday.  If you want her information, contact me directly and I can give you the information on who you might talk with.
    I got a card and a gift.. as did everyone I spoke to
    You may want to wait a few days and take that back.
    I just spoke with the recruiter today.
    They appear to be hiring for both Diskriter Employee status and Hospital Employee status. Im not sure why, but she only spoke to me about being an employee for Diskriter and benefits were cheaper than what I have been quoted from other companies, but still pushing up to $300 a month for family plan. I would like to know what the hospital employee benefits are like in comparison. Hoping to get clarification on this today.
    oops, correction, spoke too soon -- sm
    OSi does not appear to offer health insurance, etc. on their website ... they do offer holiday pay and other nice things ...
    I spoke with the gentleman from Transcription Inc this morning - sm
    Their headquarters or corporate office is in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  It is a start-up company, not in business yet.  What else do you want to know? 
    You have GOT to be kidding. She was one of the nicest persons I ever spoke with regarding MT.
    She is very upfront and open, and was even willing to discuss pay rate pretty much from the beginning, so I wouldn't waste time if the rate they could pay wasn't enough. I thought she was great.
    I thought it was rude that they never spoke to me or let me test
    Believe me, I have a lot of good experience and don't feel I am just entitled to a job. I am flexible on my hours and days and can do any work types. My equipment is state of the art.

    It just really fries me to see these companies complaining about a shortage of MTs and then just brushing them off when someone good comes along. Do they really want quality MTs, or do they want newbies that they can pay nothing and walk all over?

    The way I figure it, it is their loss, not mine.
    The recruiter I spoke to was VERY misleading about holiday pay.
    I never would have known (until it was too late!) about their holiday policy unless I had read it here.... I've tossed my notes from the interview but as I recall she said something about as long as you work your next scheduled day before and after you get time+1/2 on holidays.  Could be wrong but anyway it left me with an impression apparently pretty different from the truth.  I'm so glad I said, I'll think about it!
    Hi, Any new info on Teletrak in California? Just spoke....
    with the recruiter and she is super-nice, everything seems great for an IC, just wonder if anyone has worked for them and what it is like....doing a balancing act here, any info would be sooooo appreciated!
    Not personally, but I spoke with a friend this morning and she sm
    has a friend who went to work there recently and so far is very happy there. Hope that helps even though it is only from one source.
    Hey great! I spoke with the recruiter yesterday and SM

    am scheduled to learn Bayscribe on 6/30. I need a new computer, do you have any recommendations? Vista or XP, desktop or laptop?


    Does Bayscribe have to be downloaded onto your computer or is it something you just call into? Thanks for ANY info. I will be ueing a C-phone, havent used one of those in years!


     


    I just spoke with a company from New Jersey today...sm
    Rude was not the word for this recruiter...My goodness, makes me think that is the norm in New Jersey.  geez!!!
    The rep I spoke with on Friday mentioned 60 positions... nm

    I currently spoke with a local hospital and their pay was hourly with an incentive (nm)

    I spoke with recruiter 3-4 wks ago and was told mixed acute care & clinic, no ops exclusively. Low

    Wow, really. I can't even remember the
    I will be calling KS today then. Thank you for your honesty and getting back to me.
    I remember that, too. Everyone was trying to get on with them.

    I had two MT friends who worked there, then things started going south.  They kept trying to get me to apply there.


    i remember...
    a posting from someone saying they are good to work with and are hiring. sorry dont remember much else. good luck

    I don't remember,
    Sorry.
    That is exactly how I remember it.
    They did pay me a good line rate, but with no headers/footers, and I had a hard time making 1000 lines a day. I think I was on the worst account they had, BMH, about 90% ESL (worst I ever had too). My QA would call and scream at me for doing cardio, not for a mistake, but because I was not assigned to it. The clerks used to beg me to type it. She was supposedly the worst one there.
    I can't remember her last name.
    Been about 10 years since I worked for her.








    I remember something about that but
    don't remember which companies.  Can someone please tell me if Amphion, Cymed or Medware is one of these companies?  I'm about to apply to all 3 of them.
    just remember...
    The US MT will always be in demand. Unfortunately, in some cases only in an editing capacity. Do you think that work being transcribed in India is able to be edited and returned in an acceptable manner to the US doctor dictating it?  Absolutely not. The foreign physicians in our country depend on us to produce properly formatted reports, so how can a MT from India possibly come close to accomplishing this if it were not for the editing US MT. You really can't blame the US physician who contracts with a national co. and does not know his work is going to India. Why can't HIPAA reinforce a regulation stating that no US transcription should ever leave this country in any capacity?  Certain countries have restrictions on importing and exporting products. Why does are country not step up to the plat?  MTs have to form some kind of alliance to stop this...petitioning the government, etc.  Striking is not the answer because until some enforcement is in place, our jobs will continue to go overseas and back here for editing.
    I think I remember you.

    I remember the post (if it was yours) on the company board and remember it didn't stay on the board very long.  If I remember correctly, even though they removed your negative (truthful) post, the majority of the posts that remained were negative, complaining about things like the terrible platform and some being afraid they would have to apply for food stamps soon.


    And if you're the person I'm thinking of, I believe you and I even emailed each other a couple times because I, too, had many concerns when you brought yours to the board.


    You weren't wrong, and neither was I.  The only mistake I made was I stayed there a little longer than you did.  I should have left when you left.


    I can't blame the newbies either because they simply don't know any better.  It's part of the process with this company.  They make sure things are great at the beginning, and then the downward process slowly begins.


    Every single thing you have said is true.  If people don't want to believe it, then they can waste a few years of their life at Transcend, too.  I'm just grateful that I now work for a credible, honest company and couldn't be happier.  Hopefully, this will remain the case, and I can stay with this company for many years.  But after my experience at Transcend, my radar is definitely always on, and at the first hint of preferential treatment to someone else or lies being told to me, etc.,  I won't hesitate to leave this company as I hesitated to leave Transcend.
