WEBMEDX PROVIDES A COMPUTER FOR BOTH FT AND PT EMPLOYEES!
My question was whether or not the Webmedx computer
was WiFi compatible so I know what to do about switching modem from other computer.
Left Webmedx and have yet to see computer deposit
Has anyone out there left Webmedx and had their computer deposit returned? I returned the computer on 8/22 and have not heard anything since. All the phone numbers at the Operations Center in PA go straight to voicemail. Any ideas?
Webmedx supplies computer. You pay a deposit out a few paychecks. Not much.
Don't remember exact amount. You're supposed to get it back when you quit. Good luck. You have to be full-time (40 hr/week).
Starting with Webmedx Monday - computer not delivered yet and tomorrow the 4th. (sm)
Does anybody know if they deliver on Saturdays and/or holidays. I sure don't want to have to reschedule my training as I have already quit my other job. Not sure if it is coming UPS or FedEx, could check their web sites but don't have a tracking number.
It is a WORK computer sm
It is their property. They have a right to make sure you are not looking for another job, surfing the web and chatting, or looking at porn or stupid stuff like that.
They have to maintain a HIPAA guidelines and make sure you aren't breaching confidential information.
I really doubt they are looking over your shoulder as often as you think, they are very busy doing other things for clients too, not just the MTs. If you are doing nothing wrong, then it shouldn't bother you, it just proves you are an honest employee when you do what your supposed to when they do check.
You work on your own computer. nm

My work computer crashed...
after downloading service pack 3. The remote techs could not restore it and had to send me a completely new computer. Two days later a company-wide e-mail came out instructing us not to download this program even when instructed to by the automatic updates. Well, I was out of work for 3 days while waiting for the new computer. Not a happy camper, but it saved me from downloading it to my personal computer.
You use their computer and you can't use it for anything but work-related reasons
Very stupid and very annoying.
But could you just not turn on computer that day and NOT do the work. Or could you call and say
:+
part time work plus computer
I'm looking for a part time (15 to 20 hours/week) transcription position. I would like a company that supplies the computer. I am a CMT with 7-years' experience with acute care basic four plus multispecialty transcription. Any suggestions?
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
Ditto. Please don't buy a computer for work from this company. I left (sm)
this company because of lack of work.
Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
If you do not comply with their PC check on your personal computer, Acusis will close your work pool

One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up. Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly. Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F). Is the tower WiFi compatible? My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi.
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?
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.
I work at Webmedx. nm

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 (sm)
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
x
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
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.
Webmedx radiology MTs?? How are they to work for and good pay?
TIA....
Webmedx is a good company to work (sm)
for. Good benefits, fair pay. They give you a 12-hour window to get your work done. Be forewarned, though, most of their acute care has a GREAT DEAL of ESL dictators. If ESLs are a problem for you, you might want to consider carefully before accepting a job with them. QA is the absolute best. I think my manager is the greatest, don't know about others.
I work for Webmedx. Always on time, always correct pay.

I work for Webmedx and the communication is poor. sm
The MT managers are okay about answering email. However, questions to upper management go unanswered--or even worse are answered with a defensive attitude that you shouldn't be asking questions. I'm suspicious of any individual or company that gets uncomfortable with questions.
Webmedx is the company I am leaving, so that won't work. sm
It's time to move on.
You work for Webmedx and shor 18 hours? sm
Get another account, check the community page, some accounts have OT on them. The work is there, you just have to flex a bit on different accounts and such.
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.

If/when you run out of work at Webmedx how are you allowed to make up? (nm)
