iMEDX, Inc.
Anyone know anything about this company? It is based out of Ohio. TIA
iMedX
Does anyone have any information on or better yet perhaps work for iMEDx? I have searched here for recent info, but there is none. I would love to hear from someone that actually works for this company since they have offered me an MT position. Would appreciate any feedback anyone has. Thanks! 
iMedX
Could anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for as I was offered a job yesterday and would like to know how they are as far as workload and if paychecks are on time.
iMedX
Any info on this company?
imedx
Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about imedx? TIA.
IMEDX
Here is what I know. I have been one of their editors for a few months. They are very unresponsive to me as an editor. Even though they have told me repeatedly that they are very happy with my work, they won't respond to me when there is an issue with my not receiving files and/or communication from my supervisor. I have had problems with my supervisor (who at first seemed nice) contacting me and my receiving her e-mails as much as three days after she sends them. This, obviously, is a major problem. I have sent e-mails and made numerous phone calls and sent IMs about this issue, with no one contacting me for over a week at a time, all the while receiving no work -- I mean the work suddenly dried up. The pay for editing Indian transcriptionists' work (plus giving paragraphs of feedback daily which is not figured into the line count) is .02 per line. I was sent plentiful work at first and also promised that there were some BIG accounts coming, which did not happen. They began back-peddling on that promise very soon after I was hired. And then the problems with communicating with my supervisor just compounded things. For the second time in a month, I have not heard from them in over a week. I have received almost no work for an entire pay period. It is for the best, I know, since I would not have left them in a total lurch the way they have done me, and I know from all of these problems to just move on. I wouldn't have done it otherwise, but since they have shown me complete disregard, I have sought other employment. These people care nothing for me, even though I have done a very good job for them for VERY low pay. They do not mind one bit leaving me wondering what is going on and with no work while I have bills to pay. What is it with Kentucky-based transcription companies that are affiliated with Indian workers? Are they all shady, greedy, and rude? I know you will make your own decision about working for them. I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will give you more facts on which to base your decision. I should have known better when I found out that the work I would be editing would be from Indian transcriptionists. I was just trying to give it a chance and not let any prejudices get in the way of my working for a living. I also felt I really needed the job. I learned a lesson, though! I won't work for another company that outsources to India.
iMedx
Medware was just acquired by this company and I am having a hard time finding any info other than they outsource A LOT to India, after all the CEO is from India. Of course we were told that they just bought the name and things will remain the same but in past experience with other fields this usually is not the case.
Does anyone currently work for iMedx? Or are there any that worked for the companies that were acquired by them? Just looking for any info that anyone can provide. I'm trying to decide whether to hang on and see what happens or start looking for a new company.
BTW I absolutely loved working for Medware..great family owned company, always work, paid on time, great employee resources, benefits and pay (even with VR) so I'm so upset that this has happened.
Sorry, should have posted ImedX-sm
This is in relation to the message regarding Turboscribe. Anybody have any information on the company ImedX? I know they are Indian based, really wanting information from someone who may be or have been employed as a Transcriptionist or Editor for the company. THANKS!!
Any experience with Imedx
Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble getting paychecks on time and/or accurate. Thanks.
iMedX & TIdewater...
I used to work for Tidewater Medical Transcription that was bought out by iMedX, but have no idea what happened to the person who was a higher-up either. I, too, would really like to know as well as she was very inconsistent with most all she said, had very poor communication skills, and never wanted to take the fall for anything when she was clearly at fault. I just found out about her departure from the company yesterday, 02/19/2008, upon calling about possible employment. I was told she was let go, but of course wasn't given any specifics and certainly didn't ask for any. It is quite obvious to me iMedX is not any better as far as communication as my inquiry has gone completely unanswered. Besides, if someone is willing to say a former employee was let go, I wouldn't want to work for them anyway. How professional is that of a current employee to say that about a former employee, especially when they don't even know who they are talking with? Seems to me they're all nothing but a bunch of back stabbers and need to learn communication skills as well as a little business ethics to boot.
IMedx (formerly Tidewater)
Does anyone know anything about this company and/or if they are hiring?
You will be QA for India MTs. Don't go with Imedx! nm

Have you worked for Imedx
I was offered a proofer position for 2 cents per line. Is this good. Is the company good. Any info appreciated.
iMedX info ?? TIA
i could have sworn i saw a post about iMedX on here.
I just want to know who they used to be. Did I see it elsewhere???
Medware bought by iMedX
Has anyone else worked for iMedX after they bought their employer's company? Software is called TurboFlow. Any good? Overall how do you like working for them, good and bad.
Person who is no longer with Tidewater/Imedx
What happened to this person who was a higher-up with Tidewater before it was purchased by Imedx? She is all of a sudden gone. Anyone know the story?
Anyone have any current information about iMEDx? Not much in archeives
Thanks so much!
SoftScript, Imedx, Superior Global Solutions
Okay I was offered a job with SoftScript, Superior Global Solutions & Imedx. With SoftScript & Superior Global Solutions I was offered an MT position with 8 cents per line & with Imedx it is a QA position and I am unsure of the pay. I have my interview tomorrow, but I did past the testing process. What job would you recommend? I am 8 months pregnant and I think the QA position would be best, but again I need some info on the companies. TY so much!
ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
Satellite
I believe one is Transcend.
They had a ad once that said no satellite. nm

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite
In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages. When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company.
If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.
EX #1: If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly. Sometimes I have to do this several times a day.
EX #2: If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer. Restart and then plug everything back in. Always works.
Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.
Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to? It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues.
I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down. Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues? ZERO. Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down? At least once a week. Not fun.
You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract. If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite.
Satellite
Does anyone know of any companies, large or small, that work with satellite (Hughes)?? I have just moved to a very remote area and broadband is not available. Any help is much appreciated.
Satellite
Years ago I was so naive that I thought I was cable when (because it was through a cable company) I applied that is what I told them and I had fewer problems than the people with actual cable connections or DSL, and I had more protection against tampering with my internet than I currently do with the best cable company in town. So, I am not entirely sure that I would not just apply and say yeah high speed internet connection.
satellite
I tried working on one of the accounts they now have when I had a satellite. It was just not compatible. I now have DSL, much better all around. I was working for MQ when I had the satellite and they had a great hospital, which has since gone to KS.
I have satellite...
I had cale for yrs ... loved it ... now moved to country had to get satellite. Yea its a little slower but seriously ..not bad and the satellite companies usually have three catagories ... FAST FASTER and FASTEST ... i only have fast... and its really not bad
I think it depends on the satellite. sm
It's not recommended but there are MTs using satellite within the company. Ask the recruiter.
I disagree with you on satellite. Please sm.
I have had the DW4000 business edition for 4 years. I just switched over to the DW7000HNS. I can say my problems have been minimal over the 4-year time period. However, I do know there are a few companies out there that do not work with satellite setups due to VPNs and supposedly being able to hack into it. That is their loss. If you have the right setup, you can work with VPNs without any problem (I do now). I have even had a tech tell me that he could get into my network. I told him to go ahead and give it a try. Nearly 2 hours later, he said Ok, I can't. For every company not willing to work with a satellite connection (which can be safer than wireless DSL), there are 2 that are willing to work with it. So, just keep looking for those. :) I hope everyone has a great week!
Does Transtech allow satellite? nm

Satellite with Transtech? nm

Satellite okay for Keystrokes??
I just filled out a questionnaire Keystrokes sent me, and one of the questions was do you have DSL or cable...as I am on broadband/satellite I am now wondering if that closes the door for me? I do WISH companies would post on their websites what their internet requirements are, sure would save some time for everybody! So, anyone here who knows about internet for Keystrokes? thanks much!
Keystrokes and Satellite
They do post their requirements DSL or Cable. I have a friend who was turned down because she only had satellite so I'm think, that you do not match.
EXText/Satellite
My experience says no. The satellite connection I had just had too many highs and lows to be productive. This was on Dictaphone EXText. Hope this helps. IMO, Broadband is definitely the way to go if at all possible.
I use satellite for one account...sm
which is a web-based account and so far no problems, though I have only been on it a few weeks. The company seemed to think the satellite would be fine. My primary account at KS uses C-phone, so need a second phone line and ULLD. So obviously there are a number of different platforms, varying from account to account.
I also was under the understanding that they have put a freeze on hiring for the time being....but unless it says that on their website I don't see the harm in putting in your resume. Then when you get a chance to talk to a recruiter you can let them know what your internet capabilities are. I cannot get cable or DSL and was feeling discouraged about finding someone who would take me, but KS didn't bat an eye about my satellite. I was told that they have accounts which do require cable/DSL, but its not all of them....thankfully! Good luck.
Medscribe? Satellite okay? nm

DeVenture? Satellite okay? nm

I know a year or two ago satellite was okay.. (sm)
We had some sort of training conference call thingy over the net and some ladies voiced concerns with having satellite and if there would be any problems with getting a particular type of work done...at that time there was no problem. Again, this was at least a year ago, so I don't know for sure. Personally, I wouldn't say nuthin' and just say you have high speed internet and leave it at that.
It can be easier to ask for forgiveness than persmission when it comes to certain things, know what I'm sayin?
Anyone know if TransTech allows Satellite?
Thanks!
Yes, I could get satellite but costs way too much
nm
Most companies will not allow satellite. nm
Axolotl, satellite okay? nm

satellite/dial-up
I was told that satellite is not HIPAA compliant. I can't get DSL or cable where I live either and really don't want to go to the expense of satellite if I can't use it to work. I also have the issue of not having a complete clear view of the southern sky that I understand you need with Wildblue. I only have dial-up. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer companies have accounts that work with dial-up. 
I have Hughes satellite and really...
99.9% of the time I do not have any problem what so ever. In fact I have just upgraded to a higher speed system with them. It does not wax and wane on me at all. The only problem is when I have thunderstorms with huge tops on them that really block out the signal. Over a year, I may loose a signal 8 times. I get off and make up the time. I have had satellite now for 3-4 years. I have been off work way more times because of lack of work than losing my satellite signal.
Don't believe it... satellite is great!!!
That's bull. I also have a satellite connection and have used a VPN connection and have no problems at all. If it snows, I get out wipe the snow off and I'm up and running again. Cable or DSL, you have to wait on someone else to fix it.
Satellite connection
I am moving and looking for companies that allow internet work using a satellite connection rather than a DSL or cable co. as neither of these are available in the area. Thanks if anyone works using satellite or knows of companies that allow this. 
Transolutions, satellite okay. I see they still have sm
dialup for DOS, but after that goes away, will satellite work? What if they hire someone for the DOS, and then transition to high speed and all I can get is satellite?
