Insight Medical Solutions/Trans At Its Best GOOD/BAD

s
Thanks so much for the insight
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your insight into the situation. Thanks too for understanding my question. What you said about the supervisor was what I wanted to know when I asked if they would be supportive I am not somebody who needs baby sitting, but I do need to have the tools to do my job. And I am sorry they did not give you the incentive for second shift, that is awful! After all that running around before starting and to have to give it up is just a shame, and to not have work and sit around is also a shame, as obviously you are talented if you are a hospital transcriptionist.
I believe that this is the same supervisor, BTW as a friend of mine got in touch with me since I wrote this question, and seems like the same thing happened to her and she felt that her many years' of experience meant nothing to the supervisor they have now. No training, never answered her e mails or calls and did pretty much tell her to shut up and type.
Thanks again for helping me. I'd hate to start a job and turn around and quit... not my style after being with a hospital for 10 years.
A little insight on George

Anyone with exp working for InSight? sm
They are a radiology management company hiring for at-home Radiology MTs; however, you must live in Arizona. Anyone heard of them?
Maybe I can offer some insight s/m
at the risk of offending someone below who wondered why I would continue to peruse the boards if I'm retired. Well, I'll answer that question first: I woke up yesterday morning and decided I didn't want to retire after all. Did a bit of research and found out someone I worked for 15 years ago is now the CEO of a company, who will remain anonymous at the moment. I made a phone call and have a P/T job with the new company which I will start Oct 1.
Now to your problem. #1 and #2 are correct. I know this because the same thing happens to me. Several years ago (before TT) I emailed the sup and told her I knew I was getting all the crap dictation and that I didn't mind that but if I was going to do all the crap dictation I would like to be compensated accordingly. She emailed me back and said that she knew I was getting more than my share but that the dictation I was getting was way over the heads of most of their MTs. I wrote her back and said then how about giving me a raise. She wrote back and said that she was putting in a raise for me retroactive to the last pay period. You know you're getting crappy work and I know you are. If they won't at least compensate for it, then I would move on to a company that would. You never know how big of a shadow you'll cast until you stand up. I still get the crap dictation but I have trade offs. Flexibility has been more important to me than money and TT gave me all the flexibility I wanted.
Good luck!
Insight to the other side
http://www.brighamandwomens.org/gms/News/medicaltranscription.aspx
I have some insight to share if anyone is interested. sm
I started with KS a little over a year ago. I stayed on during the pay cuts and had faith that the changes would pay off. They did. I now make more than I did before the cuts, love my account, have pretty steady work except during the usual slow times, have health insurance that is OK although expensive but less expensive than none, have direct deposit with very few problems, love my lead, etc. I am glad I rode it out and will if there are changes in the future because I believe this company is looking out for the transcriptionists and by keeping work in the U.S., I think that they will be one of the biggies but definitely the best in the next few years.
Thanks for all of your insight!! Happy New Year!!
Oh yes, *those* questions. Insight inside.
They are a pain, but I do know why they are asked. Every once in a while recruiters get an applicant who puts down I have used Windows/Word/IE, whatever, before, but not much. I can learn, but I might be slow.
The application typically gets ditched, and here's why.
There's no time or staff availability to teach someone how to use a computer to the point that they are comfortable with day-to-day activities. It's time consuming as all get out. So, though it's a drag for people who are proficient to fill out (even very briefly Yes. Very. or Trust me. Really. works), it saves companies from hiring people who honestly somehow never have gained proficiency using a computer. When those folks do slip through they typically leave within the first 30 days out of frustration, and waste their own time and the company's time and money.
Zylomed vs DSG - insight needed.
I have offers from Zylomed and DSG...and am wondering if anyone has input on these two companies regarding flexibility, ease of platforms, ability to make lines, availability of work. Thanks much!
Are the Insight Radiology accounts outsourced
Lately NO work in there!
Well I had asked if anyone that works for DSG can give an insight into the
working conditions and if the accounts are fairly decent accounts. So far nobody has responded to this. They are hiring for 2nd and 3rd.
Excellent post with great insight. (NM)

I recruit for a company that has had ups and downs on this board and have some insight.
I attended MTIA a few weeks back and spoke with other recruiters and some established MTSOs and some just starting to build their MTSOs. What I learned is that most companies are alike in many ways, and most want to improve. The common factor was often that they want to do more for their employees but get slapped in the face too often by MT's who do not work when they are supposed to, do not produce what they commit to and think that they are better than they actually are but cannot take criticism of any sort. There are a lot of MTSOs who do not offshore, but they are frustrated by MT's who want more and more and give less and less. It's a catch 22 for them too, so maybe it's time for everyone to step back and reevaluate.
As a recruiter, I sometimes get 100 resumes a week. Most do not even get past that first contact and here is why:
When I get a resume that has a typo in it, I do not even acknowledge it. I shred it. I have learned that if someone cannot be accurate on their first impression, they will not be later on. You'd be surprised how many resumes and cover letters are full of obvious typos.
If we have a help wanted ad that specifies 2 years of experience required, half the resumes will be from students or those with no experience. They can be very demanding and rude at times, which is no way to treat a potential employer.
If we have a specific ad for hours and/or days, about 40% of the responses are for something completely different.
We now have auto reply for resumes but will probably get rid of that in the near future. Many applicants take the auto-reply as a sign that they are being considered even if they are not, especially the often very pushy offshore applicants, even though our ads say no offshore applicants will be accepted.
Another thing that I see far too often is that some applicants, right up front, demand certain days and hours and pay, no matter what our ad says.
Finally, here is the biggest turn off for me: Failure to follow instructions. Our ads always say that we do not accept attachments, to paste resumes into email. However, there will be days when every single email I receive has an attachment. I have now set it up to send emails with attachments to spam, which automatically empties each night. Those that go into spam do not get an auto-response. That's the way I set it up and it works well. Why should I respond to each one that blatantly ignores instructions? Again, if someone cannot follow instructions when applying, they most likely will not once employed.
There are a lot of wonderful, experienced, hard-working MT's in the U.S. who follow instructions, keep their word and take pride in producing quality reports. It takes a while for us to get the great employees but we keep sorting through junk to get to them, just as they have to sort through companies to eliminate the bad ones.
I have recruited for 4 different companies over the last 10 years. While they can be very different in many ways, most are pretty decent and want to treat their employees well, but they are getting burned out by being burned over and over again.
MTIA opened my eyes. If we do not start working together, the U.S. companies will start sending everything offshore where the employees want and need the work. The offshore companies were out in force and they are looking for ways to improve, which is scary. They WANT to take over, and we are giving them a lot of opportunity.
Don't let anyone fool you. AHDI and the big-wigs from the big companies are VERY friendly with the offshore companies. Their work is getting better and their prices are better and U.S. only companies might be phased out because of this. We need to take back our industry or offshore companies and VR are going to take it from us.
Polish your skills, make sure that your resume is perfect and be persistant.

Speech Recognition Editing - Can someone explain/provide insight?
Can someone explain how Speech Recognition Editing works?
When a company hires people to do this, are they usually looking for MTs or those who have done regular QA before?
Do you listen to an entire audio file based on what a speech recognition program spits out and fix? If so, what kinds of fixes are you normally looking for?
I'm completely ignorant on this topic so if anyone could explain the basics, what they like/don't like about it, what it's like, etc. I'd appreciate it.
Also, is there a consensus that this is perhaps the future of MT? What do you think?
Any other MQers at WebMedx? Just got an offer. Any insight greatly appreciated. TIA!
How does the incentive pay work out for you? Please E-mail me if you'd like. We all went through enough with the evil Q. Thanks.
QT Medical
Will they hire newbies?
I wonder just how much medical
benefits are costing them, anyway, if anything. My benefits are literally just a few dollars cheaper than if I bought my own personal comparable plan.
USA Medical
If this is the company out of Florida, I have worked for them for 18 months. They are very timely in pay, and are a very good company to work with. I highly recommend them.
Sue
QT Medical does nm
JLG and QT Medical both have some
accounts that use WP. I have seen other companies advertise WP, but I don't remember their names.
QT Medical
All of your concerns are valid. Four words: Outsourcing, no money and RUN!!!!!!
NE Medical
Have you been with this company long. Can you tell me what platform they use and are they flexible regarding hours?
Medical INK?
Thanks in advance!
QT Medical
Anything new on the status of QT. It is so very quiet and little communication about anything...so different from a few years ago. Feels like BIG changes coming down the pike. Anyone know anything? Thanks.
KM Medical
Anyone know about this company out of Palmdale, CA? I looked in search but could not find anything. Thanks
AC Medical
AC has been no better. I have yet to recieve a paycheck on time, and my last 2 paycheck were less than HALF what they were supposed to be. They are looking into it They don't even mail the checks close to payday, its supposed to be the 1st and 15th and they aren't even mailed out until the 5th, 6th or even later. What a nightmare!
QT Medical
Another national got the main account, we lost an account this week and there is nothing left. The overseas vendor was in the office. Does anyone know if they are selling or done? Direct deposit ended as well, which is a big indicator that the company is on its way out. Owner's blog for Ruban Rouge tells a story of wealth and lavish lifestyle. There is a regret page for the owner on Google of how many people have been destroyed in her path. I know there are only a handful of people left but enough is enough. I am definitely taking another job and I suggest we all do. It is no longer the company we knew, not to mention a company at all.
The name is QT Medical. nm
Q-T Medical was, don't know about now. I think there were a few
s
medical ink
does anyone have any info on this company? i'd sure appreciate any feedback!
Medical Ink
Wow...I have posted inquiring info on this company on 3 different forums and nothing yet.... Does anyone have ANY experience at all with this company? Ever heard ANYTHING about them? Thanks.
Another Medical Must
This is a very small company out of Las Vegas, and she is a TERRIFIC person to work for. I have worked for her now for about a month, pay is ontime, and correct, and she treats people like human beings, and respects her staff. Totally recommend this company! She is pro entry level.
Another Medical Must
Does anyone have any info on this company? There's nothing in the archives. Thanks!
Another Medical Must
If anyone has any information on them please let me know. I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks !
Another Medical Must
I looked up this company and came across Renee Lella, Another Medical Must, LLC. When I looked up Renee Lella it disturbed me a lot. Usually I just read the posting, but there is a job posting concerning this company. When I did a Google search on the company I came across the fact that they outsource to India and the Philippines. If I am wrong about this company, please let me know.
Another medical must
I am a new grad too and was wondering if you had heard anything about Another Medical Must yet?
Another Medical Must and NO PAY
 The owner doesn't pay on time and only when it fits into her budget. She rather outsource and keep all the money that they earn and not pay hard working Americans only a piddly amount.
JLG Medical
Does anybody work for this company? I've been with them for about 6 months and would love to meet other MTs working with them to possibly add to my Windows messenger so I don't feel so alone LOL.
Amphion Medical.
Pros: Good benefits. Very flexible, no nights/weekends unless you want it in your schedule. Always have work available. Yes, they have radiology. Great people & great accounts.
First Choice Medical
Has anyone heard good or bad about First Choice Medical?
Medical Transcription, Inc. in NY
In researching for jobs, I noticed this company and was wondering if anybody knew anything about it - comments please.....
medical term
"Palpation over the muscular tissues reveals mild tenderness in the bilateral paraspinals (s/l: clavatus or quivatus, and spiro-glineal) region." I can't figure it out and am hoping someone out there will give it a shot! The words in parentheses aren't words I know, they just sound like what he's saying. TIA.
medical term
It could be gluteal. I thought of that too, but just can't figure out what he's saying before that if it is gluteal. S/l spiro or could be superior......don't hear left or right unfortunately. thanks very much.
You say you have the medical background, do you mean you took a course or you are just
a medical office worker? No one will give you half a chance unless you actually take a transcription course.
