In Reply to: Medware of Alltype? Can't decide. nm - HELP!
They are a good company and have work. I started out PT as I worked out my notice and then went full time. They have accounts that use EXText and I love that software, easy to make a good line count. I like being paid by direct deposit and the health insurance is about $17 a week, so that seemed affordable to me. Good luck to you.

I started at Medware 1 year ago
They have been a good company to work for. I have plenty of work in my primary account, and have gone to my secondary on occasion. I like my team leader and also having direct deposit, something that is way better than the checks I used to wait forever on at my old service. Medware may not be for everyone but I have enjoyed everyone from tech support to training to my team leader.
I started PT at Medware
Very productive software (EXText) and Medware has some great benefits. Always have work which means alot to me, I don't like to wait around for reports to come in. Very happy with Medware. Sara.
Started 2 weeks ago at Medware
Very happy. I really like the system and my trainer has been great. Call and email and IM and whatever I ask is answered, feedback is instant and you can pull samples on-line. Great system. Got an email yesterday about a recruiter moving on to another job, but that will not effect much, just hire another recruiter I guess. They have several. Go for it, you will be happy.
I started there at the beginning of this year, and..
have had no problems whatsoever. Never had to call even once about a late paycheck. I have the schedule that they gave me sitting in front of me right now. It gives all of the pay periods through 12/31/05, and the exact date that the check will be deposited in the bank. It has never been late; always on time. You can even go online a few days before your scheduled deposit, and see the amount that is going to be deposited on pay day. Are you sure she worked for the same company?
Started 1 year ago, very happy
I enjoy my account and my team leader is very nice. The benefits are affordable, they use United Healthcare, and pay is every other Friday by direct deposit. The software is easy to learn and use and my Expander was compatible. Hope that may help, good luck to you.
Anyone who started with CyMed this year still with them? What do you like about them? nm

Started one year ago and like MedScribe
They have some very nice people and I like my account. I am an employee because I need healthcare benefits. I also like the direct deposit, that was a big change from where I came from. All in all I think they are a good company, I needed steady work and pay coming in to support myself. HTH.
I started as an employee a year ago
They give you a 12 hour window to work within so I like that flexibility. The other big factor that made a difference for me was the direct deposit, I was an IC at another company and was looking for employee with insurance. The insurance is with Aetna and it is a great plan, but as with good insurance it costs about $40 per week. But it is a PPO with a low deduct and I can also use my prescription card when I have to. I compared at the time and it seemed to be about as much as what other companies offered but a better plan. They are nice people to work with and I stay busy, that helps too. Good luck in your search.
Once people started to leave last year
and the company was up for sale and more office employees started to leave, we should have seen it coming. All the red flags were present I just didn't want to believe it..such a sad day..I wonder if anyone will work this week?
If you had asked this a year ago, I might have said that I was not happy and actually started sm
to look for another job. I have seen really big changes in a lot of areas since then, the biggest one being communication. I would not even consider leaving now. I have been with them for almost 3 years.
I know of 2 MTs from reputable schools who started w/o the 2 year exp. nm
.
I was started at 8.5 and given a raise after a year to 9 cents sm
I know that I hired on at a time when they were desperate and I have many years of experience, hence the more than usual. I was also an IC.
I have not heard of anyone else getting a raise, however. Employees were given a line count incentive and told if they wanted more money to work more. ICs had no such luck. They are management top heavy with a team leader and at least 1 QA for each team, 6 teams at the moment. They also have an MT manager, an IT manager with 4 people under him, and 6 people to go after new accounts (few new accounts while I was there), an office manager and 2 or 3 people who do payroll and human resources. LOADS of support people means the MTs who actually do the work get paid less. Keep in mind, they only have about 225 to 250 MTs at any given time. Top heavy.
Where I work now, we have an office staff of 7 and about 13 other support people for 350+ MTs. You'd think I'd have problems getting questions or problems solved and I don't. They are right there 24/7. Result? We get paid more per line.
I don't know, Zylo was a great place when I was there and has steadily gone to pot over the past 6 to 9 months.
I started at 8 cpl, was increased to 9 cpl in 3 months and 9.5 in a year. nm

No, just started 3 new acute care hospitals at Medware

I have been at Medware for a year
Very happy, plenty of work and direct deposit every 2 weeks. My team leader is helpful and very professional, a change from where I was at previously. I have their insurance for myself and kids, it is with United. Overall I am happy, good pay and I don't run out of work. Good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for over a year
They are very nice people to work with and I get my lines every week, I am on Merit. They also use EXText. I like my team leader and the account I am on. Not sure if that will help you as previously I was with MQ, but Medware has been wonderful.
I have been with Medware for over a year
Very happy from the start. It's shift work, but you can pretty much request what works for you and the team leader makes the decision, mine is pretty cool and I like working for her. I also like direct deposit as previously I had to wait for checks in the mail. Hope that helps and good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 1 year
and have been very happy. Pay is good and yes, you get paid for normals. I also have their insurance plan and think it is quite fair, it's United Healthcare and I had that plan with a previous employer and like it very much. They also pay an incentive bonus for 12000 every 2 weeks and that is what I do. Hope this helps but I have been quite pleased, they seem to care and I like my team leader, she is easy to get in touch with and will work with me when something comes up.
Medware for almost a year
Yes, they do PT for at least 20 hours a week. I am on EXText but I know they also use their own software called Merit. I am an employee with benefits but started PT for about a month to see how I liked it, and then I went FT. They are a nice place to work, the people are very professional and they always do the little things to make you feel like you are a part of the team. Hope that helps.
One year at Medware
They have been good to work for, I started part time and then went full time. I haven't heard of Phoenix so I can't help you there. Good luck to you. I think we started a new clinic so you may want to call, but Medware pays on time and I always have work so I have been quite happy.
I have been with Medware for 1 year
Pay is always on time (direct deposit) and the people there are really nice. They use EXText software but also have their own. I have a flex schedule so ask them about that, benefits are good and not too expensive. I am happy to be with them and hope that they keep growing, I see where they just signed a new hospital group and are hiring MTs.
Very happy at Medware the past year
I enjoy my accounts and have work. The best things I like about Medware are my team leader who is very professional and understanding, and the regular paydays which are direct deposit. Those were two things I did not have with my last service. Medware has been a good company to work for. Good luck to you.
How is it that in less than 1 year Medware goes from the best company to work for to the worst?
Let's hope AAMT does a better job of picking the next company of the year!
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm
no message
and they started
you at 9.5 cents per line???
Well let's see, I started my day
and have sat here all day to only have 60 some reports! Sad but true. I have 2 other PT jobs for this very reason. I only stay because when the work is there, the money is good. If it does not pick back up soon, I'm gone!
Just started...
using CS this past week, and it is very, very easy and practical to use. You should love it!
I started with TT at 8 cpl - sm
and I was told by Debbie that top pay was 8.5 cpl, not over. Maybe it was the account I was on. Don't know. Just relaying what I was told. I really did like TT. I couldn't afford their benefits, and yes, it is my fault for not doing my homework. I
i actually just started with DRC ..
and just completed my first week. When I was offered a position, I was told that everything counts - spaces, characters, everything in expander. Considering it was just my first week with getting used to the system as well as formatting and dictators, I did very well - a hair below where we need to be for full time, which is not bad considering I relistened to all my jobs before sending it. That is my method of learning. I am happy:)
when I first started with MQ which sm
was then Transcriptiosn Limited, for years, I was a subcontractor given a 1099 and they supplied all my equipment. Probably weren't suppose to. Well, I leased it. Maybe that make a difference.
I started at 10 cpl with MDI-MA
NM
I started out at
8, then they gave me 9 because the account I was on was HEAVY esl, then switched to VA, which also pays 9. Did fine on the ESL account but can't make the new production requriments on the VA account. Oh, full time employee status.
Just started, but so far ...
I'm not having too many problems other than the usual just getting used to new things. I don't think WebCorrect is that slow. I've worked on worse, that's for sure. I've checked their line counts and found them to be accurate and they do include spaces/65 char lines.
I haven't been paid yet, so I can't comment on that.
Communication is very good. You can IM a question any time. I've never waited long for an answer. You do have to pay attention to who you're supposed to IM though.
Everyone I've encountered is very nice and professional. I might change my mind later, but so far, I think it's working out well for me.
I just started with them, but so far
Mary has been extremely flexible with the schedule. Just ask her. I would be willing to bet she would work with you. She is the easiest boss I have worked for yet and I have worked for quite a few:)
I started with them just a little over
a month ago and can't afford the $125 to quit.
Do they still charge you $125 to ship back the computer if you're there for more than 45 days?
Welcome! I just started...
recently myself. Does your account start with a C by chance?
started at ,12, now...
make 16.
I just started with SGS
So far I have no complaints. Im fortunate, I have a very easy account. I have not had any ESLs so far...well, I had one, but he had an English/British accent and was not difficult to understand. I think the platform you work with is dependent on the account you are assigned to. I am using a web-based platform and Word 2000. As for direct deposit, I do believe they told me they have it, but I could have confused them with another company I was entertaining simultaneously. Benefits are reasonable for individuals, the family price is a little pricey in my opinion at nearly $178 per pay. I have to do some serious typing to justify that big of per pay deduction and Im hoping I can pull it off because I need those benefits as a single parent.
just started
I am just starting with them. If you want to email me I will give you what I know.
Just started
I just started with them and so far I like it. My account has been great. Everyone has been very nice.
Just started with them myself
but have you tried cut and pasting document into a Word document just to get a rough idea? Or is that what you did already?
Just started with them....
on a brand new account. It is a group of hospitals and there is evidently plenty of work. I am doing Emergency Department Reports, which there is a never ending supply of. I am brand new, so it has been kind of tough, but everyone is very helpful and encouraging.
That's all I know, hope it helps.
No, have not started yet, my first
year as IC. Employee prior to this with another company.
