Was never told of any raise off of QA only that where they are located they can't charge as much to the clients... yeah, okay, I believe that! NOT!

Naturopathic physicians
Look up naturopathy and naturopathic physicians via googling, etc., and get a list of them and contact them individually to determine if they need transcription of their reports. Also contact naturopathic medical schools (N.D. = doctor of naturopathy) to find out some resources. You have a great idea; my friends prefer to see N.D.'s rather than M.D.'s. Similar education in the basics.
Ha! Indian physicians used to do MT!
Maybe they still do???
Back in the early days of MT offshoring (10 years ago) I was, briefly, one of the early editors for the big offshoring company in MD. According to the CEO of the company at a small group meeting I attended, the Indian MTs were mostly/all male physicians who could apparently make more $$$ doing MT for the U.S. than they could practicing medicine in India. I thought it was sort of unethical as I'm sure there is no great surplus of physicians there. But I guess that's capitalism.
Incidentally, they were TERRIBLE transcriptionists. Their transcriptions went through two layers of Indian QA before getting to us and I still rarely had time to correct all the mistakes.
Of course it's possible that everything has changed there since then.
Have you heard what physicians are saying?
Even docs themselves are saying that they have to double or triple-book appointments now just to meet the rising costs and overhead. How is that not effecting patient care? I may not have ever had a doc that walked out of a surgery halfway through, but I have had a doc actually say to me when I asked about diabetes education, 'Just don't eat a lot of carbs.' I had just been diagnosed with type 2 DM and had all sorts of questions, but he was in too much of a hurry because he had a waiting room full of people. He didn't even tell me what medication he was giving me, just said I could pick it up at the desk and got angry when I pushed for answers. Is that quality?
You have to have transcribed for 10 different physicians within the last 5 years. sm
Heard this from a friend who recently applied with them.
Physicians First Transcription Service
Has anyone heard of this company? I know that they are located in Streetsboro, Ohio but I just wanted some of your feelings on this company before I applied.
Thank you,
Cheryl
Physicians Transcription Service
I worked for them for about 2 years. Just call and talk with the owner. She is very upfront and won't sugar coat anything. She (Cheryl Roudybush) was very good to me.
How well does eScription do on heavy ESL physicians?
Also, how long after using this platform did you find yourself doubling in your productivity? Anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
The setting your own schedule thing varies. For example, physicians who work in the ER may be
independent contractors, rather than employees, if they are moonlighting on weekends or whatever. But notice they are told what hours to work... There's no way to keep a transcription service alive with people working whatever hours they feel like whenever they feel like. That's just not reasonable.
NJPR is in NJ, not NY, stands for North Jersey Physicians Review I believe,
try googling for a web page, I am quite sure they have one, you can the info and I think a phone number there to call.
There is NO Medical Record keeping in India for hospitals/physicians.
//
Are there not enough physicians in India to keep work plentiful for their native transcriptionists?
I just can't imagine with India being such a large country that they are not swamped with MT work that can stay in their own country. I have always been curious in this regard. So tired of these large transcription companies using the shortage of U.S. MTs to get away with offshoring our work for slave wages. LET THEM TRANSCRIBE FOR PHYSICIANS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND FOCUS ON THEIR COUNTRY'S HEALTH CARE AND QUIT BOTCHING IMPORTANT MEDICAL RECORDS THAT BELONG TO U.S. CITIZENS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS PRODUCING THE REPORT.
The hospital I work has no intention of outsourcing...physicians and administrators want inhouse tra
and Medquist hasn't bothered us at all. Our reps are still the same personable guys they have always been.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
I think she is referring to
what you said in your post about this lady being an idiot. I don't think that was bullying or anything. Although, I was not looking for an opinion on a person here, I was simply looking for feedback on my post. And NO I am not putting you down for anything you said in your post. I really don't want this thread to turn into personal attacks and all the other junk I have seen on this board. I just want some feedback. Thanks all.
Which MDI are you referring to? - sm
If you are referring to MDI-FL, I use IT ProV with one of their progrmas, and it works great. They have very good benefits for employee, but I would ask the recruiter about that. Hope this helps.
Which OSi are you referring to? sm
I heard bad things about the OSi in Florida (Outsourcing Solutions or something like that), or are you talking about the other OSi in Pennsylvania (I think)? Thanks a lot! 
What are you referring to?
nm
I think you are referring to the other OSI...
Opti-Script is out of State College, PA and I'm pretty sure they don't outsource. I like them so far. MT friendly and nice people.
Which MDI are you referring to, MDI-MD or MDI-FL? nm
What exactly are you referring to?
I work for Amphion and don't usually do unpaid busy work...so now I'm confused. As far as their line rate goes, it is comparable or better than most of the nationals out there. So, I am quite confused as to your post...feel free to email if you don't want to discuss it here, I am very curious...
What exactly are you referring to...
*all those demographics*??? It's one lousy number to type in, 7 lil ole digits...come on now, that doesn't slow me down that much. I'd probably produce much more if I'd keep XXXXX off this board for more than 30 minutes! So, don't blame the lil ole 7 digits I type in on the DI, cause that aint it...try again...
Not sure what you are referring to,but (sm)
could it be that they are no longer the little company - they have grown so fast and are so busy............is the atmosphere changing? They are still wonderful to work for and take care of you when you need something, it's just....... can't finish a sentence here. Still the best place I've ever worked.
I believe I know who you are referring to.
They did that to me too when I applied and I did not go any further with them. I do not know why it is important for them to know anything about your credit.
The OP was not referring to anyone in particular. SM
She was simply giving her opinion and I agree with her.
An impartial post would give the pros and cons of any given company and they all have them.
and that is what I am referring to...
She is obviously speaking up for her friend--what's wrong with that? And it doesn't matter why her friend stayed with the company so long. Maybe she was hoping (like we all hope) that it would work out. You guys have no right to laugh at ANYONE who wants to make things right.
Yes, indeed that is what I was referring to
I am glad someone is literate!
I don't believe anyone is referring to the OP
They're referring to that wacko who jumped in and derailed the entire thread with yet another TT rant and how much she hates her job and her company.
I don't think anyone is speaking negatively about the OP at all if I'm following this thread correctly.
I'm not sure which posts you are referring to
but I am the one who claimed the VR platform was released too soon. I never said I was making good money on it. In fact, I claim just the opposite. My pay was drastically decreased on VR as opposed to straight typing because of the sound quality and the technical problems. I did not make contradicting posts. I can't explain the closeness of the IP numbers, but mine should all be the same as I have a static IP number.
Which post are you referring to? (SM)
You can report posts you feel should be reviewed for deletion on the Monitor board at anytime.
Which post uses the name of company President?
Are you referring to the co. out of N. Carolina?
If so, I would also like some information. I have been hired by them but the account has not started up yet.
Are you referring to the Sten Tel
There is obviously more than one Sten Tel in MA. Please clarify which one you are speaking of.
If you're referring to me...(sm)
I do acute care with about 90% ESL.
What post(s) are you referring to? Thank you. nm
x
which company are you referring to then? nm
Are you referring to Sten tel?
This sounds almost identical to my experience with them.
huh?? what are you referring to? saw no misuse of --sm
there, their, or they're in any of the above messages. SHEESH.
Are you referring to MTs who worked for
SPi before the merger, or those who now work for CyMed/SPi?
hello -- I said I was referring to 2 different situations
x
I am referring to DSG in Atlanta, GA
...and I think those who replied are too.
Who are you referring to that has no work??
Can you tell us the companies that you are referring to?
I can definitely relate to what you are saying, but I want to know where you went that is better.
we were referring to the one who posted below you
nm
MDI-Trans ? Are you referring to -sm
MDI-Transcend? If so, checks are always on time (direct deposit), work is not all that steady, but this is a slow time everywhere. As for benefits, they are by far the best in the industry as far as I what I have checked out. About insurance rates, don't know because I don't need them. Hope this helps.
If you are referring to MedScribe in FL...
They have both IC and employee positions. The full-time employee positions are based both on hours and lines transcribed, meaning you have a schedule to stick to plus a required minimum amount of lines per pay period. They do have a 12-hour work window.
What posts are you referring to?
I'm afraid I'm not sure which ones you're speaking of, but we would not delete a post simply because it was positive.
There are many reasons posts are deleted. Did the post have somebody's name in it? Was there anything that could have offended anyone, thus someone reporting it as needing to be deleted? Was it posted by a non-US MT? Was it connected to a post with any of these things going on?
Please do let me know which posts, and I'd be happy to check into it right away.
I think that's what fatcat was referring to (sm)
Notice how she capitalized the word YOUR for emphasis?
If you are referring my post...
I think it's pretty clear..
Referring people
Please don't take this wrong, but why would you ever refer people you don't know??? The reason I am asking this is that in the past, I have done this myself and ended up getting really burned and just made myself look bad. Please be careful who you refer. It can bite you in the seat of the britches one day.
What company are you referring to?
To what platform are you referring?
I have this problem with Dictaphone Ex text.
I was referring to the one in FL. Sorry if confusing....NM
