Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run. I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group. I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Keystrokes -ortho account
Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts? Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position? What is the testing like? Thanks!
I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks

Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money. They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
Try Keystrokes for ortho. Lots of work. The lead is the best I have ever had. sm
I have two doctors that I am responsible for and love having them assigned because I know what they are going to say before they say it. She is a stickler for reliability and quality, but if you are a good MT, you will love it!
I agree with Tasha...I am having a wonderful experience at Keystrokes...plenty of work...

Keystrokes does not overhire. There has been so much work on my account sm
that they are begging for overtime (and paying 1-1/2 times normal rate for it which is better than other companies that I have worked for!). One thing that no one can say about Keystrokes is that they overhire. They make sure we all have enough work before hiring more on an account. Yes, I have talked the owner about it so I got that information direct.
Also, I think the above poster is right. I think Becky is one of the owner's right-hand persons, her and Karen both. They are both very helpful, as is Jen who answers the phones and a few others.
They could get rid of the IS manager and a lot of us would have a party. She is horrible to deal with but I think is related to Lee or Jeff because she has been there a long time!
I work on a Meditech account (not with Keystrokes)
and they have also prohibited cutting and pasting. Just because it looks okay on your screen doesn't mean it comes out okay on their end, I guess.
They are wonderful! Pay on time, work always available, wonderful
people
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great! I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is? TIA
Keystrokes Ortho pay
I was just wondering if anyone who works on ortho for KS would be willing to share what their average pay/production is. I just got hired and am very excited but also worried because the line rate is a lot lower than what I'm used to. I've been doing acute care with high ESL for the last 11 years, so I'm hoping that the ease of the clinic work will make up for the low line rate. I'm, going to be working in ExText. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
You bet Keystrokes is WONDERFUL! sm
They are great to work for, no VR and they appreciate you. The only folks who really WANT to do VR are the ones who are no good at transcribing. Problem is they aren't very good at VR either. There are plenty of really good MTs doing VR who don't want to be and should be.
Depends on the account but most of them for ortho are on the sm
Scribe platform. I found it to be easy to learn and really like working in it.
I tested for Ortho account
I tested for an ortho account and had 1 blank but they did not hire me. I thought I did good.
on my account, which is ortho, I had to have my own equipment...
but that only requires a foot pedal...someone else just posted that you can use a C-phone from them if needed but other than that you need your own equipment...
I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
Keystrokes structures it like this for ortho
The Keystrokes manager who handles the ortho department structures it where you are assigned your own physicians. You have 24 hours to have the work done. You must pass a test though, but it is not a hard one.
Not true, I get that for a WONDERFUL VA account. NM
;-)
Wonderful VA account??? Now I know you aren't an MT.
hee..hee
Ditto.....Keystrokes has been nothing but wonderful to me...(sm)
I have TOO much work sometimes. My account is very high volume and I have a backup in case my main account runs out of work..which it NEVER has. They have always been fair and are flexible with scheduling.
Keystrokes is wonderful, just be aware that
they DO NOT like MTs doing things they way THEY want to, I have read other posts by you, and feel that your attitude will not be welcomed by a company like KS. They like MTs to follow the account guidelines, NOT making up their own rules as they go. Those MTs should become IC if that's how they wanna work. Maybe try Transcend, they may be more receptive to your frame of mind?? 
I love my ortho account but I have only two doctors and know sm
them like the back of my hand.
I have been at KS for about 8 months. The account was frustrating at first because the client has a lot of their own rules and they are very picky. Once I had them down, about a week and a half, I started to fly through the work. I love working with the ortho lead, Cheryl, too, so that makes it easier. She is one of those people that works so hard and is so nice that you want to make her happy.
I am also on the Scribe ortho account and love it...
the changes they made are wonderful...
I agree 100%...I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years doing Ortho
and I love it...best company I have worked for...
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...
nm
Keystrokes does. I have worked on ortho only for them for 2 years. sm
I have my own docs and my supervisor is great. She leaves me alone to do my work and as long as I do it well and on time, she leaves me alone. I prefer this, so it is a great job for me. I average 14,000 lines a pay period and make 0.09 per line. I do use their insurance, which costs me $204 per month, but it's only me. So far, so good with the new insurance!
I'm not sure if they are hiring but it would be worth trying.
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Over 9 years ortho experience and not even a callback from Keystrokes..
I can assume that they were swamped with applications or maybe I was just not want they were looking for. Oh well....other ortho accounts out there. I have enough acute care that I should find something.
Keystrokes Ortho MTs--What is your production like in terms of lph etc.. on their system?
Just wondering how easy it was to make a good decent living on their Ortho accounts. Thinking of applying.
I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo
nm
I would like to do ortho work too

Ortho work
My company does alot of work for the same Orthopedic Specialty hospital D&L works for and they are always looking for experienced MTs. We always get paid on time, and have for 9+ years with never one problem. Contact Phoenix MedCom, Inc. at www.phoenixmedcom.com. Send resume to hr@phoenixmedcom.com
I work ortho too...................
I LOVE working at KS. The supervisor is great. She is always available to answer questions/concerns. She needs to be strict w/TAT to make sure the clients are happy. If you have no problem meeting deadlines then I say go for it and apply.
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
Wonderful to work for
MDI is great! They have a large variety of WT from acute care to clinic to private. I cannot speak for others regarding line rate, but I started at 9.5 cpl 2 years ago. There has always been plenty of work for me and I am sure that is the case all around. The owner, team leaders, and operations are the best people I have ever worked for or with, and I have been in this profession for over 30 years.
love ortho work
Me too! I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I work Ortho and love it!!!
I always have more than enough work, pay on time, lead is wonderful....very few ESLs....my work is assigned, not pooled, so that helps not having to fight others for work...
TSSC is a wonderful co to work for for ICs. sm
Guess it just didn't work out for the poster above.
I work for KS. Its a wonderful place
to work. You are treated well, they listen to your concerns, pay is on time. If for whatever reason, you don't like your account, just ask for another one. If your good, they want to please you so you will stay with them. It's in the top two on my list. Spheris, oh no. You have to get used to taking tests for these companies, that's just the way it is. Test and wait, test and wait. Good luck.
Ortho MTs? Can I ask which platform you work on and is it productive??
Thanks..
I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
TransTech is a wonderful place to work

I work for SmartScripts and they are a wonderful company.
Plenty of work and pay is always on time.
