I work for a group of doctors ...

that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.

Anyone know a company that works with small pool of doctors? Tired of so many doctors nm

Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

The coverage is perfect for me as all my doctors and my kids doctors are sm
in network. With WebMedx none of them were. The coverage is much better for me. My husband's company wanted to charge us $1470 per month for family coverage. There are three of us, so that would be $490 per month per person, which is insane.
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
I said there was a group e-mail sent about being out of work.
They were not limiting anything.
Do you work for local doctors?
If you do, how many do you work for to make that kind of money? Do you charge $.15/line? Thanks.
I get a bonus from the doctors where I work
And last year I just gave a box of candy (it's a small office).
This company is actually still in business. I used to work for MRC Group
in Arizona. I was so intrigued by you posting MRC Group out of Maryland, that I just called the company and talked to Christine. She stated that MRC Group was bought out by MQ. Two of the brothers went on and did their own thing, while the other owner and his wife still own a part of MRC Group which is out of Maryland and have an office in Florida. The owners of this company have been in business for about 40 years now. The husband and wife have given the company to their daughter to run what is left of MRC Group out of Maryland. The company has approximately 40 transcriptionists and are currently hiring transcriptionists across the USA who will work from home. Hope this helps. I was shocked to hear this news. Sounds like a very nice office and very upbeat and positive.
Transcription Doctors? OK to work for? (see message)
Do they hire IC or employee? Decent work flow? Reasonable expectations? Is management/QA reasonably nice?
2 of the accts running OT in my group of work ARE EXCELLENT sm
Excellent accounts, low ESL, good work. NOT OVERHIRED. GO AWAY.
You are the most immature group of people I have ever encountered. Go to work.

I work for Keystrokes and have assigned doctors. I'm very happy. sm
I believe you can get overflow work if your doctor does not dictate on any given day, if there is any overflow work on that day. My pay has always been on time. I highly recommend them.
H. told me the work was going back in house for some of the doctors. nm

There's plenty of work at Webmedx - my group of accounts is running OT. SM
Again, why don't you ask your manager for MORE WORK?
I work with a rescue group so I get my share of fuzzy feelings
I financed a group to get it started, paying for the animal's care, vet bills, medicine and still do the financing. I also take my money and help others out. I just sent some money yesterday to a MT whose has a son who is in dire shape and she wants to go be with him. Not too long ago I read on here about a lady who needed help in buying a foot pedal. I sent her money for that so basically you don't know what you are saying when you say help others out. My mother said I did this from a very young age and I continue to do the same. I also take care of me, though. As far as a sugar daddy, never wanted one. I have a chef husband and a housekeeper. I work, travel, rescue animals, help others out when I want to. Priceless. End of conversation.
It's been pretty consistent for me, but I work for two companies and type several doctors
and even with that, sometimes it gets slow, and then when it picks up, it is really hectic. It's so hard with this type of work to get it just right :)
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
MT Group
I would never work for her again. Very moody, extremely picky. She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.
mt group
Does anyone have any info on the MT group? Thanks
MT Group
Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows. All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is
describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination. Let's be adults here.
ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either. I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable. Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
Yes, there was a group of 12 or more. nm

Another group
I have been involved in starting groups with a specific purpose in mind before. What happens every time is that a bunch of different personalities get together for a common cause, then they start fighting over different ideas on how things should be done, lose sight of the original purpose, and the next thing you know it is like being back in the sandbox in kindergarden and nothing gets accomplished and the whole thing fizzels.
You really should not group all MTs together. nm
Not all of us whine, connive, or are disloyal. Personally, I am a very loyal IC. I show up and work when I say I will, produce top quality documents, and am appreciated by my accounts.
Maybe you have just come across a few bad apples, but not all of us have poor work ethics and personal values.
You should think before you write something so generic as this.
TT group
Isn't there a chat group on Twitter or Facebook for Transtech MTs?? How do you join it??
do not lump us all into that group, please!
Some of us out there still do what we say we are going to do, produce excellent quality work, and have plenty of experience. I just cannot find an honest employer who pays well these days. Seems there are issues on both sides of the fence! I am not sure what the solution is. Ideas? :-)
WestTran group
anybody know anything about WestTran group LLC. the good,the bad,the ugly?! Thanks!
Growing with a new group of
They started a group of hospitals based in TN, and are adding them one at a time during the year. Lots of ER and acute care positions, we get emails noting the new accounts and added positions.
MT Group, any information would
x
Seriously? That's what The Group Formerly Known as AAMT SM
wants to do. We all take a test, send them lots of money and belong to their group. I'm sure it will be a lot of money. After all, it takes a lot to set up shop in Modesto, CA and, ohhh!, hope it wasn't in the line of those fires!
Truth is, most MT's cannot afford to join a union, if there were such a thing.
TT needs to get their own Yahoo Group or something
TransTech is such a good company so when the least thing goes wrong they immediately hop on here and announce it to the universe. It's called making adjustments, people.
If you can't handle it FIND ANOTHER JOB and stop taking over this board with the same old sad song every day.
Sorry about that, I truly didn't mean to put you all in 1 group. nm
nm
Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
You should not have quit that group
The only things not allowed are names of accounts and bashing other people.
TransTech group...sm
I think I saw a while back someone post something about a TT group? Could someone please email me this info?
Thanks
A group note was probably sent to
.
Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING
NM
Yahoo group
A Yahoo group for Landmark MTs for support, discussion, and friendship has been created! Send me an email for the address to join.
currently only 1 group of MDI hospitals is VR
x
doctors are way more $$ than MTs and
get a grip
Many of the doctors do this.
It wouldn't be a problem if it was just one doc. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my first post. There are several docs who dictate 'my normal' and it takes lots of time to do this on each report.
That took my doctors. I say KEEP IT IN THE US
PLEASE!
ESL doctors
It might be because most of the doctors that work in the hospitals in MI are ESL.
You get 400+ new doctors and you
can't possibly start producing high lines right away, especially when the account is at least 40% ESL if not higher.
It doesn't matter what company you go to you're going to have a period of adjustment, no matter how simple the platform may be.
Where are the doctors? (sm)
So I've been a Transcriptionist for many, many years, working as an employee and as an IC for my own account. I've been recruited lately by several places who want to pay 7-8 cpl for ICs. Now I'm an educated adult, I know darn well that no MTSO in the world would charge a client 7-8 cpl so there have to be doctors willing to pay more than that wouldn't you think? Why are they so hard to find?
Can someone tell me where I can find a nice doctor that is willing to pay 12-14 cpl and give me the same no benefits I'm being recruited for?
Am I in an alternate universe? I just don't see how MTSOs can command and get 14-20 cpl but the rest of us who offer just as much can't seem to get our feet in the door.
doctors may think they don't need us but
I have a client who does work comp evaluations and when he does a record review, there are at least 2 or 3 records that are unreadable because they are handwritten. Sometimes 20 or so pages. So he just says unreadable. That does not help him in his evaluation and it won't help the patient either.
ESL Doctors
I read and SAW on television just a couple of weeks ago a report that said the U.S. now has 55% ESL doctors. Doesn't surprise me one bit. So no, transcription companies do not take accounts with a bunch of ESL doctors, that is just about all there is anymore.
