In my second month with MW on EXT..sm
Posted By: happy MWer on 2005-11-17
In Reply to: Medware Dictaphone Ex-Text - AJ
I have had very few issues. For the most part the sound quality is good. A couple bad docs but that is par for the course for a facility that size. Several ESL but some of them are better than the English-speaking I have done in past! I have had no issues making lines if I stay on-task **grin** I am happy I went with them. Hope this helps.....

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
$$ per month
I am trying to compare nationals versus working at a hospital. Please respond if you have time. 
For all of you working for a national, what do average making per month? How many hours per day? Do you work for one doctor, a clinic, or a hospital?
I, personally, would like to make $2500 to $3000 per month but don't. Is that unrealistic? Currently, I only average around $1800 and this is with no benefits; I have flexibility but no benefits.
What transcripton platform do you guys find to be the most productive for you?
I realize you can't have everything, but you do have to live; also, I am trying to stay home because of my son, i.e., taking him to school, being there for school functions, sport's activities, etc.
$$ per month
I make around 5-6K per month and have done so for 4 years running. I work around 45 hours a week with rotating accounts. I do get a high line rate of 12.5 per 65-character line.
A MONTH! What do they tell you when you
call or email them? I'm not waiting a month. I was hoping to get started this week as it is a new pay period and all. Wow. Good luck to you.
about a month
s
Exactly - that's why every month...sm
when they post the anniversaries there are plenty of employees with the company with 1-27 year anniversaries.
Been there almost a month now -sm
I don't mind it at all. It didn't take me long to get used to everything. I did get paid and I think fairly. I check my line counts in my own way and I've found them to be perfectly accurate.
Every job is going to have difficult dictators. You know what they say, there's one in every crowd (okay maybe with doctors, there's more than one), but you'll have that anywhere.
They're extremely professional and treat you the same. I agree with the other poster, don't expect anybody to hold your hand there. So if you can stand on your own 2 feet, go for it.
P.S. I pay about $200/month
for two people and this is the highest end insurance (BC/BS PPO) through my hospital.
I was with them for about a month and during that month
I had maybe one week of work. The rest I was out. Pay was so so. QA was a little strange about fixing things that were not wrong to begin with (changing six weeks to six week when it should have stayed weeks). I am still puzzling over that one. Anyway, more often than not, QA was wrong, but you could not tell them that.
it's the 1st of the month after your - sm
90 days are up. So if you got hired Feb 15 then your insurance would kick in on June 1
Just in the last month
there was a post here about someone not being paid. My experience is from a couple of years ago, but in the two years since, I've seen posts here from time to time from people complaining about not being paid. Search the posts from the last month...you'll see someone just complaining about not being paid by them.
$26/month -- nm

I got one of those too a month ago or so
I believe this is from the same joint that is recruiting for the sQuid. I was tempted to look into it at the time but I had heard that the health insurance benefits offered by *S* had gone down the crapper. If you're interested, I'm sure you have nothing to lose. It would be nice if you could get job details without having to spend hours on testing first.
Was she AC for only a month or somebody else?
?
last month it was
Transtech was the greatest. This month's featured flavor -- Keystrokes. I am getting whiplash watching the stampede from place to place.
Been there just over a month
and I LOVE it. My production has doubled from that of my old job (I am now doing at least 2500 lines a shift). The pay is always on time and is direct deposited. I have a great ER account and always have tons of work. They did get a ton of new accounts recently, and that is why the have been hiring lots. I would recommend them to anyone.
I pay less than $200 a month
Hospital employee status through Diskriter. Different plans with different rates are available (depending on which hospital), but I have the most expensive choice available from my hospital(PPO).
that would be *A* month. sorry
a
RC-pay is once a month
Pay is once a month.
They had an ad about a month ago I believe.
5 cpl at Medquist as a new MT grad - so people say! 
No. They have until the end of the month.

pay is once a month

$13,500 a month. nm

13,500 A MONTH? (SM)
Can you please share how many hours you put in to make this much? Where do you work?
14,500 a month....nm

once a month pay
I'm afraid I don't trust employers that only pay once a month. That tells me they have to get paid before they can pay their employees. That's never a good sign.
I was there 1 month...sm
...and still on QA @ 7 cpl...I have 20+ years experience. You will starve working for these people.
A month WOW! nm

I will be 54 this month....so are we the sm
same vintage??? LOL
I know you are not painting them all the same but it is a problem the way the MT field has become. I think there is a bigger market for experienced MTs and there will be in this country in the future. With all the jobs going to India, the ones that are left are going to be the ones that will be picky and hire us.
These MTs don't realize they are burning their bridges and are going to be out on their butts and its going to be their own faults.
Email me if you like.

me too, more like 5K a month. nm

I pay $45 per month for
It's truly unlimited - have never been billed one cent more in the 1-1/2 years I've had it, and have used up to 15,000 minutes a month. Plus it's an analog line so even if your power goes out, you still have phone service (I keep an old-fashioned princess phone handy so I can plug it directly into the wall, rather than use my remote phone which, of course, requires electricity!) And analog is a much more stable than voip so there are no annoying disconnects.
I see that nowadays it's called the All Distance package (unlimited local and long distance) and they're advertising $40 per month. Hope this helped.
at least twice a month we are getting accounts that use to be done by MQ sm
I know this because when they post accounts they say MQ had it. MQ is definitely losing accounts. I just don't understand if you don't get work and don't want to leave MQ why not get an additional job?
I was with them about a month. I could not stand the
account they had me on and they got pretty rude about it.
I was hired 1 month ago at 10.75 cpl. Yes they do pay 10 cpl or above. nm

It's $20 per month, not per pay period.
I'd ask, once they had the wrong zip and it took a month,
but I still had called after 2 weeks and they cut me another check and I destroyed the first one when it finally got to me which is how I found out what happened. It NEVER should hurt to ask what's going on. I do it TODAY though, you've already waited long enough for sure.
I am one month new to this company too...
and I love it. Bayscribe is one of the easiest platforms I have learned and it is very user friendly. The people are nice. Small company. 10 cents per line. I have a great account. Positive feedback from QA. I am really happy with my job, happier than I have been in a very long time. I have another position that I am probably going to give up and just go with MDI. Any questions, go ahead and e-mail.
Penny has only been with KS a month or so. sm
Call Becky at the office or call and talk to whoever answers. Tell them the situation and tell them that you want to work for KS but feel that you have been shuffled. I would bet that they will get it done for you. No company wants a reputation for letting good MTs fall through cracks.
Ins is BC/BS and starts on the 1st day of the next month after

how do you live off 800$ a month?
x
LOL Yeah, PLEASE, let us know! I'm down over $800 a month
from my old job versus my new job. I get up every morning and wonder why I'm bothering to get up at all. Can't get enough work in, can't keep the house clean enough, the kids are off on vacation and I'm holed up in my office.
IC's are paid twice a month, sm
but you are paid the 15th for the prior month's work. Employee status is different and have a different pay schedule.
I know, I worked there. The first month is difficult, but after that the checks flow routinely. You do get used to it though.
Ugh! Same old thing! After a month or 2, the
ESLs kick in and the amount of work kicks out. I was so impressed at first, but now realize I need to look elsewhere. Work is not consistent. Not recommended. 
i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I do. I worked for them for about a month
and had very, very little work. The owner was a little strange. QA had some unusual opinions about how things should be, too. Strange company. Not really bad, but not good either.
I pay $202 per month for just me. The coverage is sm
OK, not bad actually. I don't go to the doctor often though.
