In Reply to: Heartland Layoffs - MsAnonnie Mouse
I have two kids and going to school full time. I never asked for a 8-5 schedule like most MTs and I don't ask for M-F either. I have to work nights to get shift differential to SURVIVE.
What a rude stance to take. I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope your job is never pulled from under you.

Lucky you at the lake... I'll be typing nights and weekend nights
I am a single mom, have over 25 years' experience and have to take those times... you know this is a 24/7 business and although I have to give up prime life time of leisure at these times, I figure the patient needs me, and so does my boy... so I have time off during the week during the day after I rest to do things... and guess what, I live on a lake near the beach... good luck to you!
No work at nights
I used to try to get my lines in the early morning before my kids got up, but there is absolutely no work in the mornings. So now I try to work during the day some, but have to wait till evenings when hubby gets home, and there is NO work at nights. On Sundays, my accounts are very low. Tired of this. In the process of job hunting.
BTW, I seriously doubt it will get better after Labor Day. It will only get worse going into the holidays.
I have One in school but work nights
As it just works out better overall. No kids, phone calls, et cetera. Sleep deprived?? Yes, most of the time!! LOL
work weekends or nights.

Yes, it's true you do not have to work weekends/nights
They let you choose your own work schedule when you start. They use Dictaphone with Word. It takes a bit of patience to get used to what you're supposed to do as far as finding the right visit or if the doctor inputs the wrong work type, etc., but as a program in general, it's simple to use.
Me work days, nights and weekends?
No I have worked so long at this now only work part-time and no more slaving like in years past.
Do you work evenings or nights? If so TT has plenty of work
It is not that TT has no work, it is that everybody wants banker's hours. What do you expect?
Heartland - Lack of Work
Just wanted to share my frustration with HIS and the lack of work! Any other HIS MTs having the same issue? I can't seem to make any money!!!
MT looking for work after heartland layoff
Is PMSI a good company to work for? I have not tried them yet.
I don't work at Heartland, and she has a point. sm
People who want to talk about their rights should know how they apply or it just makes them look stupid. Also, if you're going to write the President, the newspaper, or whatever, you should run spell check as well as check grammar, punctuation, usage, etc. If the referenced letter was the same one I saw posted here yesterday, it didn't speak well of the MT who wrote it.
Not sure, may be willing to for nights and W/E.
No nights unless you want them at Amphion

weekend nights are actually the
slowest on my accounts. I try to get 1/2 my lines in before lunch and then check back in the early evening to finish up. If I wait too late, the work's all gone. Sometimes I can't get my lines in the morning, either, because the work isn't there. It's really hit or miss.
For the most part I work around it, but I don't live around it. If I don't get my lines, I don't get them. I have a second income that really helps out. I think it's best not to put all your eggs in 1 basket. You never know when that basket is going to break.
Amphion does not have nights or weekends
People do complain about data entry which they are not paid for but that is for basic 4.
You could ask if they have radiology or clinic which maybe a different setup. They do use Dictaphone Extext.
You don't have to work nights or weekends unless you want to.
That is exactly what I did. I know they hire PT nights and weekends. sm
I started that way and within 3 months moved to FT. They are not perfect for everyone, but I really love my job and hope that you find what works best for you!
Another person who works nights, hello!

Re: working weekends and nights
I already do work Saturdays and nights (or try to, but it's a little hard when there is no work). I do not work on Sundays. It is my only day for my family to be together. I work six days (or nights as the case may be) a week as it is. Saturdays and nights are fine and I am happy to work them, but no work then, either. But there is also no work early mornings, hardly any during the day, almost none at night. It is as if it has all evaporated??????? I remember when all three of my accounts were plentiful and I could work as much as I wanted whenever. I do not mind flexing my schedule, but there is just no work no matter which way I flex it. What happened?
No they don't. There is slight increase for evenings and nights;

transcend and differentials, weekends, nights, holidays
what does Transcend pay for these, anyone know?
Why move all the work for Heartland overseas, are the MTs overseas that much better?
Why? Why do this. It is my understanding that in time that work will be coming right back. Are the overseas MT's in Banglador or wherever better. Don't the companies that offshore worry about the quality of the work, HIPPA issues, patient's confidentiality, etc. Why don't they care? Mark my words, those MT's are not better than us, they have US editors, etc to help them out. They cannot land a new account US-based and compete with any US mt's. What a sad day. I pray for all the Heartland MTs.
Heartland?
Has anyone heard of a company called Heartland Transcription out of Toledo? A friend of mine has been talking to them and wondered about it, so I told her that since I was online right now I would ask. Thanks!

Medical transcription business booming
Anshuman Daga
Bangalore, February 20
Medical transcription firm HealthScribe India, which uses India’s large pool of English-speaking graduates to enter medical data on US patients, expects its revenue to nearly double annually over coming years.
“I expect our turnover to grow at 80 percent compounded annual growth rate for the next few years,” HealthScribe’s Chief Executive Officer Tony Hales told Reuters in an interview.
The company, a joint venture between Max India and Healthscribe Inc of the United States, currently does $6 million in business a year.
The booming medical transcription business has become a $ 6 billion industry in the USA.
Transcription professionals key in medical data such as patient histories or treatment into computers after doctors in the USA phone the transcription centre and verbally record their observations. Once keyed into computers the data is transferred back to US hospitals via e-mail.
Global Centre
India has become a global hub for medical record transcription business with the establishment of high-speed telecom links and its large number of English-speaking graduates.
The fact that wages in this field in India are only 15 percent of US salaries is the biggest draw for firms such as HealthScribe to set up shop in India, Hales said.
“Our (HealthScribe’s) only limitation for growth has been time and experience,” Hales said. The company was not adding more than 75 to 100 employees a month to ensure that the quality of work is maintained, he explained.
Hales said it takes about four years for a local employee to match the quality of work done by his counterpart in the USA.
Other foreign companies in the same industry with operations in India include US-based HeartLand Information Systems and CBay Systems (India).
The growth of such services has been fuelled by rising demand to maintain basic hospital data and records and use these as legally recognised documents for US doctors to support medical decisions. Reuters
Heartland?
Who is spi? Thank you.
Heartland... now what do we do?
So... what do we do now guys? 
Heartland
So sorry to hear about what happened. They will lose their clients. Are any of you from MS, AR or TN???
Heartland
I'll bet the we take care of our people people have even them beat dirtwise.
Heartland
Very sad, well-written. Please, please, forward this to former Senator John Edwards at OneAmericaCommittee.com. Please browse the site and familiarize yourselves with the work the Senator has been doing. I believe HE REALLY CARES. Please anyone who has the time, browse the One America site. You can sign up for updates from them and help by signing petitions and just spreading the word. It's time for Americans to take back America, don't you think? Thanks all. God bless you all who have been treated in this fashion by Heartland, but consider that some way, in some fashion, the ones who did this to you WILL get their just rewards.
Heartland
The we take care of our people was supposed to be in parentheses but didn't show up in my post.
Heartland
I am sorry for all of you. I had the miserable experience of working for Heartland a few years ago. I stayed only 6 months so I didn't have to reimburse them $2000 for their flying me to Toledo for training (what a joke that was) me. For those of you who want to write their clients, be careful. It technically could be a violation of HIPAA. Instead, write the newspapers where the client is located. You can bet that their staff members read the letters to the editors. A letter to the client could just get buried by the administration. I know of at least 2 instances where a client was outsourcing to India, but their staff was unaware of it. Do not, of course, mention the name of the client. Call it a local medical facility or a medical facility located in this state or area if there is only one medical facility in that particular town... something like that. It has been a few years since I worked for Heartland, but while with the company, I edited reports typed in India. If any of you want to E-mail me with the city and state (no other information) where a client is located, I will be happy to write a letter to an Editor too. Best of luck to all of you.
Heartland
HCR Manor Care is the mother company for Heartland, Inc., they are NOT BROKE by any stretch of the imagination.
Heartland MTs.....I want to ......sm
tell you how sorry I am for your situation. Take some satisfaction in the knowledge that eventually Heartland will realize they made a grave mistake by outsourcing all their work overseas.
If you are interested in working for a 100% US company, perhaps I can help you. Just drop me an email through the board here. Good luck to all of you!! 
Heartland
YOU are so right. I have said all along from all the posts I've seen from MQ to anyone else. They cry gimmee, gimmee, gimmee. They don't get what they want, so they bad mouth the company, but OMG, don't even think of working on weekends (except maybe every once in a while), or a holiday, or after 5 pm. If that's the schedule they have been looking for, they are in the wrong field. You can't watch soaps and eat bons bons while you transcribe. I basically work the same schedule I did IN a hospital, usually all day Saturday and I work from 5 a.m until I have met my own personal quota. This is a good field but I think it has been trashed by those who thought it was a cushy way to make easy money. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It takes as much dedication to do well at home, if not more. I agree some of the companies have taken advantage, but by and large, a lot of these people do a lot of stuff they wouldn't do or couldn't get away with while working on site.
Heartland MT
I am suppose to work today but who knows what will be in store for me. Standby or work.
More on Heartland
Why do the hospitals that contract with Heartland allow the work to be in India? I know there are hospitals out there that do not want the medical records overseas.
Not from Heartland but if it was me sm
and I could afford it, I would take the rest of the summer off and collect unemployment.
Heartland
Does anyone have any recent information? TIA
Heartland
Wondering who bought them...
Heartland
Hi,
Heard a rumor that Heartland is going to close down its HBT in India. Can anyone confirm it as a rumor or otherwise.
Heartland reply
I worked for that company for about 4 months and they were a JOKE!! I am talking in the first few months I had 8 different accounts and they were constantly changing the formatting/something about them daily and you had to run off about 150 pages everyday. I NEVER once got the same doctor EVER!! I typed on 4 different accounts all in the same day and they all had different formatting. It was a nightmare! I would not go back to them if they paid 20 cents a line!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
Heartland sold
HIS employees - watch your backs - they have sharp sticks to put into your back while smiling to your face!
TransTech/Heartland?
Why on earth would you think this?
TransTech/Heartland
As far as I know, they are not. Heartland is now up for sale, however. Could it be possible that TransTech is interested in buying it?
I love Heartland
nm..
Thoughts about Heartland....
Has anyone worked for this company? What are their strengths and or weakness? I have been offered a position with them. I need an honest answer please!
