In Reply to: Who's best all around company; Transolutions, Spheris, Webmedx,Transtech? - nm
My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad. Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package. My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies. Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx. Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay. I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer. I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.
I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them. My line counts are fair. The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met. The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account. The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.
Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone. I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!

I work for MDI-MD and have worked part-time for Cobb in the past. sm
It has been about 3 years or so since I worked for Cobb Transcription in Georgia (very nice woman, by the way), so my info may be old, but I'll try to help.
Good dictation quality?
Yes for both MDI-MD and Cobb
Steady work?
MDI: For the most part, yes. There have been a few times, but you usually have enough secondary and tertiary accounts to make it through the dry times.
Cobb: I was doing clinic work -- do not recall any times without work.
What are the work types?
MDI-MD has a few radiology and clinic accounts (I think), but probably the majority of the accounts are acute care.
Cobb may have hospital accounts, but all I did with them was clinic work.
Good platform?
MDI uses Bayscribe -- very easy to use.
Cobb used Word.
Pay rate?
MDI pays better than any other company I have encountered.
Cobb's pay rate is kinda low, as I recall, and it was based on being paid by the character.
Paid for 65 cpl with spaces?
Yes for MDI ... as I mentioned above, Cobb paid by the character.
Do you have a flexible schedule?
Yes to both. MDI gives you a 24-hour turnaround time to do your work, and I think the same was true with Cobb.
Weekend work mandatory?
MDI: You are asked to work 2 weekends a month, I think. I pretty much work every weekend, so not sure about the official rules.
Cobb: No.
Employee or IC?
MDI: Statutory employee (they take out FICA, nothing else, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax)
Cobb: Was IC only
Benefits?
No for both
Low or high volume ESLs?
Probably vaies with the account -- probably average with MDI.
I don't recall any ESLs at Cobb.
Dedicated accounts with the same doctors?
MDI: You have a primary account and usually a secondary account -- pretty much the same docs.
Cobb: Yes.
Dialup accepted?
Yes to both, as far as I know. I have had cable so long, I do not recall.
Good luck with your job search. Hope this helps. If you have an offer from MDI, I'd take it -- it is a great place to work!
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
TransTech part-time?
I currently work for Transtech and am very happy there. My only problem is I'm finding it hard to balance taking care of my kids and myself (I've had heart issues since having my baby last year) and was wondering if TransTech even offers part time work.
Like I said, I'm very happy there and want to continue my employment, and going partim time would make things here much easier.
Thanks 
Part-time TransTech
How many hours are considered part-time? I don't think they used to hire part-time.
Does Webmedx hire part time?
//
webmedx PTO question. Do you get PTO as part time? (sm)
I know they changed from 35 hrs to 40 hrs for FT classification in the recent past. I also know the PTO hours for the first year are darned slim. Just wondering of you can to PT and still accrue any PTO?
TIA
Does Transtech require one weekend day to be worked for part-timers? Thanks!
nm
does anyone know if TransTech hires part-time? thanks! nm

Webmedx hire part time employees...sm
I'm really happy there. You might give them a try.
Worked for both Webmedx and Transtech sm
Webmedx really has a nice benefits package and shift differential working third shift 2.00 an hour from 12 a to 6 a and 1.00 an hourfrom 6p to 12 a. the platform really is slow though, some have problems and some don't, depends on CPU processing speed and internet connection. I had 5 megabyte speed so did not notice much issues except when they were low on work. But in order to qualify for bonus you have to average 150 LPH for the payperiod.
Transtech has good bonuses, has different options for benefits, and pay up to 40.00 for you ISP depending on what you pay per month, has a QA bonus for reports less than 10% sent to QA, shift differential--- these are 0.0025 to 0.005 per line depending 2nd or 3rd shift. I think the platform is much faster. You are working with Word interface ExText. You can see 3 jobs at a time, Webmedx you can't.
Webmedx has a timeclock and Transtech has a timesheet but are more for lines per day and pay period then actual lines per hour. Transtech expects you to work your full shift though regardless if you reach your lines in half the time.
Hope that helps. I liked Webmedx benefits package, but I liked working with less pressure for lines produced per hour. I feel my reports have better quality that way.
I worked there part-time for awhile. sm
IC status, pay definitely on the low side, but I did clinic work and it was fairly easy with easy dictators. They pay weekly and always on time. Great people to work with.
I've worked for MDI-MD very part time for many yrs
No, I've never gotten a Christmas bonus. But they still are hands down the best company I have ever worked for and their gift to me is being a company that pays well every day. I'd rather have that than a company that pays me 8 cpl and sends me a $50 Christmas gift. The only reason I work for them very part time is that I have my own accounts in addition to working for MDI. Someday when I'm older and more tired, I will give up my own accounts and work for MDI alone.
I only worked there briefly, and I was part-time, but the pay was so-so, sm
and you had to work there 90 days before you could have direct deposit. However, the paper checks were always on time. The lead on my account was great, as was everyone I dealt with. The platform used was ExText, although I do not know if they use that for all accounts. The help desk is apparently in India or somewhere, and communication must not be so great as I have been gone for several months and I still get calls to help out on one of the accounts. Good luck!
I applied at Webmedx, took test, passed, and they said no to my part-time schedule.
Maybe call and ask before you waste your time like I did.
I worked for them briefly on a part-time basis. sm
The people are absolutely GREAT, and the account I had was not difficult. I thought their platform was a bit cumbersome and I could not import my abbreviations into their expander, so my line count took a hit. They paid better than some, though, at 9-1/2 cpl.
Good luck.
I worked part-time for them VERY briefly. GEMMS system is cumbersome sm
and difficult and slow to work with, I thought. I love cardiology, but this was not a good experience. Perhaps others have had more positive expeiences with the company.
If you like cardiology, you might try Cardioscribes. I think they are a great company and the system is easy to use.
Good luck!
I worked there part-time briefly. People are very nice to deal with, sm
and pay was okay. You had to wait 90 days to get direct deposit, and until then checks were mailed, which is a bit of pain, but they were always on time. I didn't care that much for my account, but the leader was always quite helpful. They must be a bit disorganized, though, as I still get messages from the help desk to help out, and I have been gone at least 3 months! And the help desk is apparently in India, if that makes any difference to you.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Webmedx lack of work is NOT part of business as
usual. It is by their design due to constant overhiring. Perhaps they are trying to squeeze the better paid, more experienced MTs out. Maybe then they can raise exec bonuses. Wake up people. This company is the new Q.
Part-time and still never enough work. nm

PART TIME WORK
Could anyong give me the name of companies that hire part time, provide equipment, and still use dial up? Thanks
Looking for part-time IC work..
Are there any companies out there that have part-time work available and will just leave you alone and let you do the work? I produce client-ready material and really need very little attention :) I already work as an employee with one company and an IC with another. I'm starting to feel uneasy with my current IC position and am just hoping that there is a company out there that will allow me to do the work without feeling the need to micromanage?
Part-time ER work?
Hoping someone can help me out. I work full-time already in acute care and would like to find a flexible part-time job. Benefits aren't important to me since my full-time job takes care of that, so a great line rate is mainly what I'm looking for. I have 5 years of acute care experience, and am mainly wanting ER work for a part-time job.
Any suggestions?
How is JLG to work for part time ?
I may be going with them and would like any input, good or bad, on how the company is to work for. I'll only be part time but it's important that I have enough work so I can pay the wonderful creditors that I owe my life to. TIA 
part time work
I picked up some part time work by calling some of the smaller local companies. They often pay better than the large cos and you can almost ways be an IC with them and work very flexible hours. Just a thought!
Why is that? I only work part-time, but think sm
it is a great company. The owner is wonderful, QA is great, and pay has not only been on time but has been early.
Low work and looking for part-time

PART-TIME WORK
I'm been reading through all the companies out there hiring, including the company I work for now, which is unbeliveable.. I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my work with the company I work for now. The work is starting to slow down for us so I wanted to find something part-time. Can anyone suggest a good company to work for? Thanks !
part-time work
I am not sure of your background or experience, but I just started a part-time position with Phoenix Medcom and they are very nice. They do have part-time positions and you are told right up front what you can expect with regards to line count, etc. Everyone is extremely nice, helpful, and organized. I have local accounts and so far this is exactly the supplemental work I was hoping to find.
Only work available is part-time

Looking for Part-Time Work
I was just looking at this company. I don't know how things work there or any of these companies really because I have only worked for hospitals. Is there any place (including Supercript) that lets you work when you want and for how long you want? I have a full-time MT position at a local hospital and I'm just looking for something that will provide me some extra cash. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I work part-time with KS. nm

PRN or less than part-time work.
Does anyone know of any companies that hire people to work less than 20 hours per week or do not require a set schedule?
I work there part-time. sm
I enjoy it very much and am very satisified with my pay. I work part-time at 3 companies and have a couple of accounts of my own. Focus is the only place that actually encourages me to send to QA so that I can focus on production. I rarely do send to QA but it is certainly far more comfortable knowing that it is supported by the company, not frowned on.
Platform is great. Do really good with VR. Have 4 accounts and only those 4. Know them well.
I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
try Alltype for part time work.
I have heard excellent things about them from other transcriptionists that I work with at my hospital
Ask to be put on another acct. I'm part time and work
full time hours because our account is always behind.
Shelly, you work part-time. You don't have to
person who works on it hours every single day. Maybe you were one of the lucky ones who happened to get a glitch-free download, but I don't see how as the glitches are program-wide. When I worked for Transcend I had nothing but problems with this program to the point that I quit working there. I got tired of tearing my hair out every day dealing with all the technical problems and poor voice quality.
I work for 3 companies part time and....
don't have any work either. I made $50 in two weeks for one company, $40 for the other and $300 for the third. What a joke!! I do have to make a living to pay our house payment. I have been at this for almost 20 years....so SAD!!
PT'ers work part time because they are....sm
working on other private accounts....sheesh.......I spend half a week working for private mds and the other half working for MQ......what do you want from us PT'ers??????
Are you calling all PT'ers malingerers? How unfair is that? I work my arse off 24/7/365 and since I'm a young teen......so that's about 40 years! The only YEAR I took off was to have a baby 25 years ago.
AGAIN, POSTERS, consider the source of the perps posting!!!
How rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I only work part-time, and my production sm
depends on the reliability of my connection. On most days I do 30 minutes of dictation, which will yield 300-500 lines depending on everything. I have over 30 years' experience. FC uses Chartscript which is so simple to use. Just run a macro, type in patient's info as dictated, and you're on your way. Reports follow one after another in the document file for that account. As far as lot of work, I only know what's going on in my little world. I have plenty of work. Hope this helps. FC is IC only, BTW.
If they are so great why do you work there part time?

RE: If they are so great why do you work there part time?
Because I choose to.
