Any MDI-MD employees care to share their experience? sm
Could anyone share their experience from training to being released on their account and the workflow?  Is there plenty of work.... On Bayscribe is the work pooled or you pick and choose the work?  My account will be out of Washington, D.C. (SH)
please share your experiences on either platforms
which one you think is the best in terms of production?
Anyone have experiences with Diskriter or Med-Scribe out of Fl that they could share.
Good to work for, good accounts, platforms and so forth. Anything that would help me make an informed decision. Nothing is worse than taking a job only to find out it is a nightmare. Been there and done that. Any help would be appreciated.
OSI - LOOKING FOR OPINION FROM PRESENT EMPLOYEES

I would appreciate any input you could give me on working for this company. Thanks


Seeking info from PRESENT employees of Superior Global

Please do not reply with 'search the archives'. 


I am seeking info from current employees. 


1. Is pay on time?


2. The escription account...is it bad?  Are you able to earn a decent wage on escription there?


3. Any other CURRENT info is appreciated.


past employees
Why is it that past employees always yell the loudest?  I take pride in the work I do for Shapin and if the past employee had just asked for help and had not turned in files that weren't even edited, it may have been a different situation.  I have mentored many MTs and have seen them grow in their profession.  Say what you want about Shapin, but remember if you are a past employee, there probably is a reason and it wasn't the pay.
care to share?
Which companies use the Edmat platform? Standard lph at most companies is 150. Struggled with Express Scribe to get that. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
If they would have treated past employees better
they would not have to be in such a bad position. Just shows that for MTSOs as well as everyone else, what goes around comes around.
Care to share where you work?
I've been looking for a hospital work from home for here in NJ and not having much luck.  Is the hospital in your own state?  TIA
Would you care to share the name of the company?
and any other specifics like line rate range?
Are they advertising? Care to share where? sm
Any info I have is old, too. Are they currently advertising? They had decent accounts a couple years ago, though I heard their QA people weren't the kindest.
Anyone here care to share if you were offered a job
nm
Care to share the name of the company?

Is it a National?  How many MTs (educated guess is fine).  You can E-Mail me if you prefer.  I am just curious to find out how many companies have MT friendly QA staff.  Thanks. 


Anyone care to share how much their pay is monthly??

Would you care to share the name of the company
What a total rip-off.
That's correct, but I only pay employees share of taxes. sm
As an IC, you have to pay ALL the self-employment tax.  It's an entirely different ballgame. Plus, my insurance for a single person only costs me $21.45 per two week pay period.  You aren't going to get an independent policy that cheap.  Plus, we have quarterly bonuses besides the tiered incentive. I work for a hospital at home.  More and more hospitals are going to this.  It's a lot more secure than any service I ever worked for.  My point is, options are out there, one just has to look for them.  10 cents a line with no benefits is NOT a good deal. 
I am past retirement and do not care anything
about leaving. I want to have my pay from my job and also draw from my social security. Those are my plans and working independent, still travel and do what I want to do and have the money to accomplish.
Transhealth. Any care to share their opinions?
I'm looking for information on Transhealth.  Anyone work for them currently or in the past willing to share their opinion?
Any platform info you would care to share? NM
x
Care to share this manager's initials?

have been wondering the same - any MTSOs care to share? nm
.
Its a thing of the past. Employees are a dime a dozen now, and
you are treated like dirt. The more layers of management that are added, the worse it gets, especially in this business, because they put these little control freaks with no experience other than raising a few kids in charge of things and they only know how to rule by holding a whip.
Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?
.
anyone care to share comments re: Preferred Transcriptions in PA? sm
I'm not able to find enough feedback + or -, and I am contemplating sending a resume. Veteran MT here, and refuse to waste my time or theirs applying with a company who does not offer what I'm looking for. I don't need health insurance, but want full-time steady work with a fair line rate and no weekends. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but over the years I have put my share of weekends in, missing holidays with family, missing my childrens' events/activities etc. Thanks for any and all information.
ProScript in Sarasota, Florida.. Any care to share.. sm
any information on this company?  Have heard a few good things in the past but not much recent information on search.  You can email me privately.  Thank you. 
Would any current or past employees of First Choice Medical please email me...sm

I have been offered a job there and am trying to make a decision.  I am curious about the type of accounts they have, the platform they use, whether ShortHand works with it, how much work they actually have, and any other information you would care to share.  I know it is always best to hear from current employees to get the real story and would SO much appreciate if someone could help me with my decision.  Thank you.


Current or recent past employees of Silenttype...need info please!
I have been offered a position with Silenttype and would appreciate some current info from current or recent past employees, so as to make an informed decision.  Any info would be much appreciated. 
Anyone care to share info on Meridian HealthCare Solutions?
Is it a good company to work for.  How is the software, is it user-friendly, how is the response from tech, supervisors, QA, etc.    Thanks
Any current Transform employees willing to share testing process and cpl range?
I am trying to move from a local clinic to a national and am curious.  Any info would be helpful.  Thanks!
Anyone currently working Webmedx/Transhealth radiology would care to share info on them - sm
Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website?  If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window.  Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted.  TIA. 
Yes...they do care about their employees...
and they also make sure everyone has enough work before they hire new people, which I think is great...
They only have ICs. Maybe they do not care enough to make them employees so they can do what they s
want to them. It is a way to cheat everyone. They do not have to pay SS, unemployment, liability insurance, workman's comp (or is it worker's comp), etc. They do not have to give benefits and put all the money in their pockets.

Employee status means that the company cares about you and wants to take care of you.
they could care less about the current employees they are running out of a job. n/m
n/m
Because these companies no longer care about their employees anymore. nm

Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 


Thanks!


Newly hired by CardioScribes and eager to get started. Any current employees care to
post about your experience there? How long until you met production? Platform? Pay? Team spirit? Dictators? Just any info/opinion would be greatly appreciated. The software has been installed on my computer and I am really ready to get in there and get started. Just waiting for training.
Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
I am using both at present, but (sm)
I am gradually switching everything over from my ShortHand into the ESP of ExText.  The Shorthand plays out so it takes longer, the ESP is on your screen instantly, so I would say don't buy the Shorthand if you are going to be using ExText.  ESP is better.
Unfortunately, the only way to do this at present is to
copy it from the add screen. It is a pain, but once you start getting used to the names, you will be able to just type them in without having to look them all up.

**I sure wish they would find a way to just do an insert though.
Okay, I am a PRESENT employee
I found out for FACT that the reason MY account was running out of work was because they were offshoring MY account jobs to India- they are continuing to do so. I have health insurance and my daughter needs some minor surgery- after that I am out of here!!!!
Christmas present
I also received a nice present from mine this week,as well as nice thank you gift at Thanksgiving! I've never received a single, solitary thing from any other company that I've worked for before. I feel appreciated.

did you ask to go full-time at your present job? ...nm

Present Focus Employee
I'm a little chagrined to see you were started at 10/5. I have been working at Focus for almost 2 years now at 8/4. Unless you worked 3rd shift, which is 10/5.

After a long dry period, there seems to be a lot of work right now. Unfortunately there are some bugs in the EditScript version 8 now and then (for example, now!)

22-25 an hour is something I have not come close to. I do best with a nice mix of VR and typing, but you have to be on the specific account that would provide that mix! And I don't have inside info on how to get on an account like that.

Also I know the HR person from the company visits these websites. . .
I wonder if they are at least worse or comparable to what I'm going thru right now at my present
At least I get PTO/sick time, but keep running out of work, and seems like everything falling apart. All work will be going to India soon.

I just want to work for an honest company that treats their employees right. I wonder why that is so difficult to find.
At the present time I have no choice
but to put up with this baloney.  One of her good friends is an MT and she tells me all these stories about how she met this guy online (but she's married), and how her friend drives her co-worker crazy, etc. etc.  She talks negative abouy her friend(s) as well as her other employees.  I just shut up and listen.  You dont know me - so don't judge me ya old fart!  You're a perfect example of what happens to people who stay MTing for too long.  Glad this is a temp thing! 
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
No worry at present. As an IC for a mid size company...sm
I always submit my invoice using one of the accepted line counting softwares out there. Never a discrepancy on my invoice and paid in one week or less after submission of my invoice. Fortunately, I work for a company who values their MTs and pays quite fairly. I asked the question only out of curiosity. I only wanted more information regarding the MT platforms for future use. No plans on going anywhere for now, but one never knows in this industry.
I don't. The computer I have right now belongs to my present employer sm
I'm quitting next week and will have to send it back. My new employer doesn't provide computers. :-(
Unlimited LD depends on your account. At present, I
don't have the luxury of having an account that is accessible via dictation over the internet; however, I sure wouldn't include the internet fee as due to working for MDI-MD.I already had an internet fee, as I really assume most do.I also had an extra phone line, one for home, one for business, per my prior employment & to enable me to keep business expenses separate from personal expenses at tax time. Vonage has worked out well for me as my LD carrier which is available as VOIP & connected directly through a modem into my C-Phone via my internet carrier, thereby eliminating the need for a second phone line. I know some accounts haven't been compatible with such, but I would ask recruiter and/or iaison if this was a possibility for whatever account you were going to be assigned to. Two years ago I purchsed a C-Phone on ebay for $350 - that is less than a rental fee for 1 year. For me,the amount I pay Vonage is worth the great people I work with, my fantastic account, and my flexibility and sanity.
Is anyone currently working for SoftScript at the present time. MTs used to comment on
the sound with this company.  Has this improved and what are they like to work for with their accounts.  I know they are always hiring.
I've only been with present company for months and don't have counts where I'd like, otherw
