Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
I used to be a supervisor and we allowed all MTs to make their own normals, BUT...
it was the responsibility of the MT to listen to the dictation and make sure that the normal reflected exactly what the physician dictated. And any QA issues specifically attributed to an MT's personal normal resulted in a three-phase disciplinary action, i.e. written up for the first offense, written up and forced to come in-house to work for a determined period of time for the second, and finally termination for the third. Also any incentive money the MT may have earned for the day of the infraction was forfeited. It seems extreme, but we had such a problem with QA issues and many complaints from physicians especially with radiology normals that we really had no choice. We needed to make it clear how vital quality was over quantity.
Now that I work as an IC MT, I create and use my own normals, but I listen to every single dictation and if there is even one tiny, seemingly insignificant change such as the physician says the instead of a, I change it in the report.
I think a company forbidding their MTs from using personal normals will end up costing themselves money in the end. The solution is to institute very strict policies regarding the use of personal normals and enforce them. Let the client know that these policies are now being enforced and if they see any mistakes whatsoever, to please let the MTSO know. It's hard being an MTSO, I'm sure. Assuring the client that their concerns are your concerns and making the MT's feel respected and appreciated for their hard work is like walking a tightrope sometimes. The sad fact is that you can't make everyone happy all of the time and in the business world, you have to schmooze the one who writes your paycheck - that goes for MTSO's and MT's alike.
Do you have to schedule your make-up times or are you allowed to just get on when you can to get the

I want to know why ICs are still allowed to work when employees aren't getting work!!!
ICs should be the first to get NJA!!!!
Where in the world did you work that they allowed
the reports to just run through like you put it? At my job we have a certain format, our work is graded every 3 months and we have to get and maintain a score of 98% or above. I know the hospital that I do work for would never be accepting of a halfway done job and we are never allowed to just shoo reports on through just to get them done.
Will you be allowed to work any new account that comes in as your third (sm)
or does it have to be in your STMs group of accounts?
What MTSOs are running out of work right now? Are you allowed

You're allowed your opinion and I am allowed to

Can you tell me how many hours a part time person is allowed to work. Does it specify that at all.
I didnt quite understand that 8, 16 and 24 hour thing. I thought part time as long as you cut off before the full time hours you can work them.
I make 9 cpl at Webmedx nm

Webmedx MTs - Do you make your hours? sm
I'm rather new and finding it hard to get my 35 hours in due to running out of work. I'm on multiple accounts, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So are you able to get your hours? If so how?
If not, are there threats over losing insurance?
thanks,
Worried
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
This is very interesting. I work in QA for Webmedx. There is NO WORK
Why would they be testing for additional editors when there isn't enough work for those of us who work there now!
I've been smelling something fishy here for a long time now, this just confirms that something is going on that they are not being honest about.
I DON'T work for WebMedX. My cpl
is not part of an incentive plan, 10 cpl is my normal pay, 12 cpl for weekends.
Anyone work for Webmedx?
I would like some recent input on this company. Thanks.
I also work for Webmedx sm
and the platform is slow. I am tired of them telling me it is my ISP. I don't believe that. My lines are falling as well. Don't know what to tell you, but I am in the very same boat you are. Good luck. By the way I have been at Webmedx nearly 4 years.

For those that work for Webmedx how did the
computer ship? I am supposed to start training next week and don't have the computer yet. Just wondering if it ships via FedEx, UPS, or some other method. I'll call Monday to double check on it.
No Work At Webmedx!
Don't waste your time.

I work at Webmedx and really like it. The platform is very easy to use. When you are first hired you get a week of training to get used to the platform, account specifics, etc., before you are placed on production pay. The company provides many tools to help you be productive (normals stored in the platform, productivity classes, the ability to search past reports, dictation samples provided, etc.). I was hired right out of school so I know that I started on the bottom of the pay scale. They do offer an incentive program based on total lines per week and pay shift differentials for evenings and weekends. You get a flexible 12-hour window, and the benefits are pretty good compared to what other MTSOs are offering. They are really looking for MTs right now so you would not be sitting around and waiting for them to call you back like the other poster mentioned. I was called back right away after my interview. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.

WebMedX- NO WORK?
Anyone else hired for WebMedx recently only to find absolutely NO WORK available?
WebMedx, for those who run out of work . . .
What shifts are you running out of work on? What work types are running out?
No work at Webmedx
Do not waste your time applying, there is no work. They overhire. I have to struggle to get my hours in.....Too bad cause they are all so darn nice.
Currently, no work at Webmedx. FYI
;(
I work at Webmedx
There was a short period of time where work was very low while a new account was getting ready to go live and work was being scattered to new MTs (the norm), but now that we have gone live, I never run out of work. I have a primary, secondary, and tertiary account (rarely ever see my tertiary).
I am very happy here and cannot say anything bad about this company. When work is low during the day hours, you just have to accommodate and work a couple hours in the evening or maybe a few hours on your day off at the end of the week, which doesn't bother me. At least the work is there. :)
Webmedx has ONLY domestic MTs. There is no offshoring.
I work at Webmedx too...
I run out of work on a daily basis. I have 4 accounts and cycle through them all day long if there is work. I so am tired of the double standard of my STM telling me that I need to work a set 8-hour schedule when there is work but who expects me to flex within my 12-hour window when work is low. I don't want to be chained to my computer for 60 hours a week waiting for work... Maybe that's fine with some, but I have a life outside of work and can't just work whenever there happens to be some jobs in my pool.
Work at WebmedX is very low. Many sm
people CANNOT get their lines in even with flexing. There are a couple of accounts that are steady, which the OP must fortunately have, but most are not. Just thought you should know. The Web definitely overhires--has done so consistently in the 3 years I have been there, but work volumes for the last 6 months or so are the worst I've seen yet.
no work at Webmedx
I agree with you Flabbergasted and I also think that our STM's shouldnt troll this board if they do not wish to hear how we feel. The old saying that eavesdroppers always hear ill of themselves really applies here. I have had no work for over a week now. I received a chipper little email telling me that if I was part time or if I HAD A HUSBAND WHO SUPPORTED ME (WTF???) to please flex for the rest of the week! What is this? the 1950's at the Cleaver residence??? Then just for fun our manager goes on an 11 day vacation and we still have NO INFORMATION! Great. Wonderful. And please, please all of you happy little folks out there that are praying us back into higher work volumes, please no need to respond. I know you believe that we can all just click our heels and wish ourselves into a happier work environment. I prefer to actually know what is going on at the facility, even if it means not being employed anymore. The not knowing and waiting around for someone to get back from their vacation to tell us something, is the worst. 
Well, please don't come to Webmedx. Scrounging for work as it is. nm

Why Webmedx? They run out of work all the time. nm

Webmedx does NOT run out of work all the time.
Did you work for them? They are an excellent company to work for and FAR better than Medquist!
How long you been at Webmedx? I currently work there and
think they are a great company except for slow issues. Where you going?
With Webmedx they do require you to work
a schedule, though often there is no work so you have to flex. Some accounts have extremely tight TAT so it is necessary to work a set schedule, some accounts may allow more flexibility.
ditto, I work at Webmedx too. SM
They really value their people if you do your schedule as promised and are not a slacker like some.
Does work for Webmedx and is frequently
out of work on ER accounts. If you type acute work you may have more than enough and that is great, but the ER side is frequently low or out of work and I do have multiple accounts.
Webmedx Radiology work
Does anyone do radiology transcription for Webmedx? How do you like it? Do you make enough money? Thanks, any info really appreciated.
webmedx getting all sorts of work
Don't quit your job. You might not have he work there
If you work for Webmedx, you are using their computer unless you are an IC. nm

I work for Webmedx and HAVE heard of J&J. sm
Webmedx has brought on ICs from other companies before. All of this info isn't going to reach the MTs. As it is in the rest of the industry is the way it is at Webmedx. We hear things through the grapevine often long after they happen. We're on a need-to-know basis, with the top management thinking that MTs don't need to know these things. Webmedx stinks along with the rest of them. They spread their people thin. They rarely promote from within. They just make people take on more and more duties. The best advice is just to get out of this field.
if you CAN make it work - take all you can. I have 3!! go for it.

You will work like a dog at 4 cpl and not make much.
I suspect they do not pay for footers, headers, spaces, etc. I used to work there and it would like me 12 hours just to make $100 and I think I am fairly fast. Someone wrong with that picture.
Make sure they have enough work
I worked for them maybe 6-7 years ago and they didn't have enough work, we were running out every day. They only had one major hospital account, the rest clinics. It was a long time ago, things may have changed. Be sure to check that out!
Nothing there to make you sad ...Still one of the best you could work for. SM
Why bring this thread up to the top after all this time?
The OP said she was low on work on one particular account. She asked if anyone else had experienced this. I responded I had been low on work on that particular account as well. The original thread really ended with OP saying thanks, she just didn't want to think she was the only one experiencing the shortfall. So now she does not have to feel that she was singled out to receive less work. I don't think that was ever the case, it never has felt that way to me. And the fact is that there has been more than enough work available on that particular account for this entire past week.
Neither the OP, (Anon) or the respondent, (myself - Wise) wrote anything in any way negative. Certainly NOTHING was said about any particular person, including about any particular recruiter. It was strictly a question about work flow.
Why people have posted emotions, such as stunned, or saddened, about a very routine question, is beyond me. If we worked in office, we would certainly ask our coworker about everyday matters such as this one. While a short period of low work load can be frightening and frustrating, knowing that I'm not the only one reassures me that I'm not being singled out.
Just as the recruiter writes in the latest ad on the other site, DRC is the best MT job I have ever had, and I am glad to tell my MT friends about them.
These knee-jerk reaction posts insinuating that something else was written really serve no purpose except to inflame.
I can see that it will be better for me to confine my answers to individual e-mails from now on for anything but the What's for dinner? questions.

Because I make 10 cpl, work 9-5, M-F and
aaa
As an IC I make .09 and work
freely on my own. I REALLY do love working for them! They are very flexible. I have had a good experience with them!
Do you get enough work to at least make
.
I only make about 20K but then I only work
They can't make you do it. They can tell you when the work is there,
as someone else said, if you can't or don't want to work at the times they have work available, they'll find someone else who can. The client IS allowed to specify what they want/need, there is no set rule about that, but they can't MAKE you do anything. They can stop offering work if you aren't meeting their needs, but unless they pay your taxes, they can't set your hours for you.
The painter analogy is good one because if you hired a painter, you can tell them you don't want them there in the middle of the night, what painting you need done, what kind of paint you'd like, etc. A good IC painter is going to do their best to provide those things to please their client and obtain more work or referrals, but they certainly don't HAVE to do so. They could still show up to paint in the middle of the night while your family is sleeping and use lead-based paint, but would you keep that painter on or find a new painter who can work during the day and uses the paint you prefer?
I'd make sure which one has enough work.
With Transcend, too much instability. If you want to find yourself jumping from account to account when one runs out, then you'd do fine. Personally, it is too frustrating to me to constantly have to jump around. It hasn't always been this way so I suspect either overhire or sending more work to India than they already do.
