Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.
You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.
I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.
I don't think you're paranoid at all. I live in NJ,
So glad you are doing this and am 100% behind you. And remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after ya!! Bless you, Kurt! Boy I can imagine the suits that do not want us to unify. Are you kidding? Our industry is a big $$ business to everyone but the MTs, and people have done anything, literally, for a buck.
Do not be paranoid. I'm not with Shapin. Its a small company in Illinois.
Absolutely! If you're that dissatisfied with your job, find another one!
 Complaining on an anonymous message board to let off steam does nothing more than just that! Very nonproductive and passive/aggressive.
Also, do you clock out for every little thing, or do you find that now you're able to still get t

Can only find that they're IC only, starting pay is 8 cpl, nonnegotiable, and they were using DSS

That's about as good as you're going to find .. grab it (nm)

At Webmedx, if you're scheduled for 35 hours, you may find (like I did) that (sm)
you have to do 40 due to the time clock situation.
You're welcome! I find being on the ground floor of an account has its advantages, don't you?
There definitely is a difference and if you want to spend countless minutes searching for docs, countless spellings, then you are not making sense, constantly learning ESLs, then your are in training and not making the mortgage. I post here about inequities I have found and hope they help. Surely, no Transcriptionist is going to go my opinion alone, but if I am not making money and someone asks and I have been there I will try to give them something to ponder. Being on the ground floor of a company or account has its advantages and surely you know that. Thank you for reading my post.
Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!

Loyalty has nothing to do with it until you find the company for you. Be loyal to THAT company.
:p
Find another company
I agree with these posters. I am there NOW and will not be soon. They do NOT provide equipment, you have to buy your own pedal, you get these bitchy E-mails, being talken down to REGULARLY. Not only is their management a piece of crap, but their tech support sucks..if you happen to work when there is no tech coverage, too bad for you, you have to wait until they come in the morning. PLUS I am using my own computer. Arrogant QA people, ignorant "managers"...and it all crashes down on the poor MT's head who is just trying, FIGHTING to make their lines. Please, please do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere.
If you find a company that does that let me know, please. nm
You will not find a better company
The dictators, etc., is up to the MT. Can you do it? TT is a great company.
Find a different company. This one will not get better.
No one answers any questions, you only hear something if you make a mistake. The platform for work is really nasty, more editing demographic work than typing, and the editing platform is the worst of the worst. Someone wrote that their pay is fair and it is, if you use fair in the context of poor, fair, good, and excellent, but it definitely is not fair in regards to quality or experience. During my interviews, I find many companies are offering much higher rates, especially with VR, even MQ with their bad reputation. In order to survive you have to work a 12 hour window because there is no work much of the time.
Find another company!
Transcend sure sounds like they are getting worse. They have a ton of positions open but the VR platform stinks so bad that people are leaving rather than working at such a reduced wage. No communication is the fault of the TL and ROMs which are the worst in the industry as someone said on here a couple of weeks ago and I found in my 3 years there that they are the rudest things and talk down to you and insult you more than help you. Now, there are a few great ones but from reading this I think the bad ones have infected the whole lot of them. There are better VR platforms out there and companies with straight typing that are not rude and treat you like crap, go girl, go!
I don't have all day to try to find a company
x
You won't find anything like that with a company. Hospital sm
benefits are much different, but there aren't many of those jobs left. They are tumbling to the nationals increasingly.
Wmx has 6 paid holidays for all full time employees. Graduated rate of PTO, 5 days first year, 10 days for the next 5. You won't find any company that offers any benefits at all to part time people, as far as I know. The insurance cost at Wmx are cheaper than, and the coverage far superior to, any other companies I have seen.
Where did you find that kind of company?
Please do tell, need to move on myself.
I'm trying to find out a company name. It is a small,
I think just an owner and IT person, company in Wyoming, I believe. I can't remember the name of the company. They offered me a position and I turned them down, but I need to make a list of all the companies I've turned down as many of them continue to contact me and I want to be able to say no right away instead of going through the interview again because I forgot. I know there is a company in Cody, WY, but I don't think that is them. They were extremely disorganized.
Anyone have a clue who is may be? I know I haven't given much info to work with.
Do you find it a very disorganized company?

I already tried to find stuff about this company
but nothing comes up when i type the company name in the search box.
Find a company with work already
darn! There's a suggestion... There are plenty that advertise... Most MTs on this board swear they can transcribe anything and can do so many lines a day, so look around that's what you do.
There's no such thing as job hoppin' if the compay doesn't have enough work for you. Find another company that does. Take control of your life and stop letting people walk all over you.
The statement made by the other poster is most certainly a fact... these companies take advantage because they have MTs who take their crap day in and day out... move on already!
Has anyone used a recruiting company to find a job?
If so, how did that go? I need a new MT job (been out of it for about a year) and am having little luck finding anything reputable. I have over 5 years experience and seem to be coming to a lot of dead ends. I am getting seriously frustrated!
great. well i'd like to find another company.
i've lost my main account, on a seriously crappy account with a supervisor who has a large stick up her butt. I can't make any money here and I'm about ready to just quit and do something else.
If you find a company to cross-train in
can you please post the name of the company. I have been wanting to get into radiology. I probably know more than I think I do. However, radiology and medical records transcription were done in separate parts of the hospital, so never got to practice what I learned.
thanks
Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
Good luck!. When you find the company, let us know. sm
I'm in the same boat. 
TransTech is a great company. I don't find that they have any more ESL's than any other
company. The pay is good (not great, not bad), the benefits are affordable. For me, the best thing is that I feel I am treated with respect. They are great people who care about us. Overall, this is the best jobs I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
Why not? If your current company is out of work, you need to find another, and another and another,
you can make a decent weekly income. I've been there and done that, sometimes 5 companies at once, until I finally landed a decent position with consistent workflow.
How do you pay your bills making less than $500 a week?
What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

Can't seem to find any information on MD-IT. Does anyone have any experience with this company?
:-)
What is the name of the company?? StatlQ? I can't find it by googling (sm)
Can you give some more info, is there a website? TIA.
Anyone find Oracle to be a good company?
I was just referred to Oracle Transcription Services. Is this a good place to consider switching to as an IC, as this is all they hire. The flexible schedule of an IC definitely appeals to me.
WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?
You'll be hard pressed to find a company
that pays hourly and allows you to work at home, that just isn't the way the business works. I'm not saying that those type of positions don't exist, just that they are extremely rare. Now if you worked on-site that is a different story.
I've been trying to find a company with steady work
x
I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now. Cant imagine what they are hiring for. Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
I think you would be doing good to find a reputable company, much less by putting qualifiers
:+
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
In the Job Bank, company from Phillipines ..CYPHERSCRIBE INC. trying to find new clients.
What part of MT jobseeker's don't they get. They need to solicit work on another board. Why would we want to offshore to them.
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

Getting paranoid.
You and I are both obviously Diskriter employees, I have never posted a followup wherein when I typed the M other word a link came up, I looked at your post and the same thing happened. This needs further research, do you think it is coincidental that both of us are DR employees; not supposed to be using their great equipment, yet when we posted the M other alphabet a link came up? Gonna do a google search, I bet M other initial does own DR.
Er, maybe I was being paranoid, sorry (mm)
...
can you say paranoid?
!
are you being paranoid?
Frankly, I have found that there are patterns to the types of dictations I get throughout the day. Early morning, I get ER from overnight. Then I start getting the admit H&P's for the day, then by the end of the workday, I am getting all the DS for those who will be going home. Some of it is determined by TAT, some of it is determined by the doctors' schedules, some of it is determined by the likelihood that a certain report type will be dictated at a certain time of the day, and some of it is determined by the likelihood of what doctor dictates what kind of reports (for example, the attendings often dictate their own admissions, but often their residents dictate the DS). I don't know about you, but I can get a lot more lines from ER or the attending doing their own H&P than I can from any resident dictating a long-winded but short-lined DS (notorious paper flippers).
LOL, Some of you are so paranoid. If you
work for TT did you by any chance come from the Q, maybe that's why you sound paranoid.
You are so paranoid. If you don't like TT, why don't you
find another place to work? I'm getting tired of hearing you complain. Or is that your every day attitude? No need to answer that. I'm not going to get in an argument with you. Not worth it.
TT does their best for us and most of us are realists and know there are slow work times. You have to work around it. I'm very happy there. If you aren't happy, go somewhere else.
OMG - are you that paranoid?
The OP was willing to work for free to begin with. If someone wanted to scam her, they wouldn't turn around and offer to pay her. SHEEZSH--I think you're the one that needs to WHOA, HOLD ON!
She's not being paranoid
She's being businesslike and realistic. If the OP has good credentials and the proper education, she (or he) should not have to work for free.
