If you find a company to cross-train in
Posted By: radiology on 2005-11-17
In Reply to: I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do - cology too! nm
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

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
So, why don't they just cross train?? NM

I only find a site on line that says they train for MT. Is there a job ad up
s
There is also the reputable company out of No. Carolina that's NOT the United Tran with the train

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

cross training
Please call me and I will see what I can do to help you out.
I got one and used it to try out my new cross-cut shredder.
Worked great!
That's a cross to bear with most co's...sm
This demographic BS, looking up Dr's names, addresses, CCs aud nauseum, etc, etc, is just another sample of MT exploitation we have to deal with these MTSOs, and they practically all do it....ironically, it's the demos/unpaid duties that QA gives you the most flack about. (The client wants it just so ....if he wants it just so...means client is paying for this service, while we get to do it GRATIS. They really think we're that dumb , not to know the difference between paid work and voluntary work, our our gift to their stockholders. 
Cross-eyed from VR
Okay, here is my spill about VR. The way VR is sold to the MTSO is that it is going to be wonderful and save them money. That may be true, because of course they are now paying the MT less per line which means the MT has to do more lines to make the same amount of money. When an MT used to produce 1000 lines a day, she now has to produce 1300. No matter what they say, VR is entirely different than transcribing. It is like playing a piano when someone has messed up the notes on your sheet music and you have to keep up with the band while transposing the notes and playing the correct ones when the wrong ones are written. It is very hard on the eyes and the brain, and is NOTHING like transcribing. If anything, they should pay us MORE as we never get into any zone, can never close and rest our eyes, and basically it is a miserable brain drain. Sometimes I feel like telling them it is like trying to ride a bike with two flat tires -- and you get paid by the mile. Because we refused to unionize we are sunk. To anyone who will listen: Go back to school, MTing is like being on the Titanic.
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.
Yes, per year and it's Blue Cross also.
xx
Cross your eyes and your toes too. :-) The only
than I read but once you get used to it and it learns your particular account, you should be able to do OK with it. It's picking up more and more all the time, less things you have to fix on certain worktypes but I look at it as job insurance, not displacement. No matter how they tout this thing, it'll never replace us completely. And it's good for a laugh now and then.
TransTech has Blue Cross nm
Acusis has Blue Cross.
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

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
I'd have to third that motion. In this biz, I never burn bridges I may have to cross later or sta
on. I do my best to work both until I see how it will work. Trust me, I have seen in only a day if there was potential or not at a new job. You get a feel for support, difficulty of work types, and overall general feel of what this new place is like. Besides that, when I first came home to do transcription and had to give notice, as this is what i had one previously in the outside world. Boy was I shocked when after giving my 2 weeks notice I found out I was locked out of the account. Apparently, my 2 weeks notice ended NOW....so beware and be cautious.
I'm fine with the coverage - Blue Cross - sm
and somethings are covered w/o going into your deductible. Copays are $20; drug plan; mammos, Paps covered free. However, lab work falls into the out of pocket going to your deductible; ugh.
I love the dental through MetLife.
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.
Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Heck, I don't care what it costs. It's Blue Cross, sm
accepted everywhere in my area. Only one of my docs was in the preferred tier with the last insurance and I didn't want to switch so I just paid out of my pocket. I only have myself and the rate is cheaper for me.
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.
I have a single plan with Affordablue with Blue Cross for $184/month. sm
Not sure about the pre-existing conditions clause -- might be a 3 or 6 month waiting period. I have a $25 co-pay for office visits (5 per year), but $1000 deductible. If you're relatively healthy and just need well visit checks, it is ideal, but not sure about your situation.
I did find a site: www.healthinsurancesort.com that might help you.
Good luck!
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm
