Thanks can I google the company and get their website?
X
from now on i'll go straight to the company website. sm
i didn't realize a simple question would stir up some negative comments.  i find the comment about the IQ very insulting and unnecessary. 
Then you need to be professional, give a company website than can be checked out sm
and let people apply there.  Why in the world would you expect people to get their personal info to you, if you are less than professional yourself.  I certainly would not, especially after your post here.
I was told that the company is fined and they take the compalints off their website
after being paid. My husband was working for a plumbing company that had a lot of negative reports (he dosen't work for them anymore thank god) and all they had to do was pay $5,000 to get the complaints taken off. We checked the BBB site again and low and behold there is not one bad complaint against them. I didn't know you could buy the BBB. How does that protect the consumer?
ADDENDUM
Also interested to know amounts of deductible and percentage of coverage under the medical plan.
addendum--sm
and please don't pee while you are dictating. I can hear this and it is disgusting. thank you.
addendum to above...
Sorry I meant dial up. This is a bit slower but still works. They send you their software VoiceWave player to download on your computer and they will provide footpedal and earplugs. They will also provide you a spellcheck if you don't have one. They type in Word and when you complete your report it automatically uploads to thier server.
Addendum
That is you may not get your required lines in only 8 hours, you may need more time than that (depending how the lines are counted etc.) Ask questions and make sure you know all there is to know.
Addendum
Make sure you CYA and email the Help Desk when you run out of work - that gives you an official record.
As an addendum

to my previous reply.  Of the people I mentioned that underwent gastric bypass and lap   banding, here are the results: 


As mentioned, one died.  His mom also underwent gastric bypass at the same time.  She has since gained the weight back and some.


Then there is a mom and her two daughters.  Mom almost died from lap band surgery as gangrene set in.  One daughter has to go in every few months of so and have adhesions lasered so she can eat.  The other daughter's surgery turned out perfect with no complications.


I have a friend who underwent gastric bypass in March 2007, thinking losing weight would help her rheumatoid arthritis.  She has been in and out of the hospital at least a dozen times since.  Potassium level dangerously low, no appetite, not eating at all.  Yeah, she has lost 80 pounds since March but what a price to pay.


It just seems so risky to me.  Yes, I had my surgery scheduled but after my friend died I changed my mind.


 


 


 


 


 


 


Addendum...
If you don't mind sharing where you are that you like that'd be good too ;)
addendum
I meant subq instead of subcutaneous -- I take pride in my work and this was insane. The other thing as well was that a portion of the report on my end was 'garbled' -- QA person said 'you should have understood this i had NO clue as to what the doctor said, but it apparently was some kind of store or whatever. New account for BOTH services -- I knew the geographic location, but did not know the town where this hospital was located etc. Hmm again, maybe my ESP should have come into play.
Addendum
Go into your firewall settings under exceptions and make sure that the boxes are checked that say VPN.  I think that may be what I had to do.
Addendum: It would probably take 15 minutes sm
of typing time to do a full page (that's if you can hear all the voices clearly, able to identify them in a snap, etc. So, plan on earning $5 an hour.
ADDENDUM TO POST

Also, it would be to my employers benefit to have us go with this service, have it not pan out for us, and then they do not have to pay us unemployment benefits.


I will add an addendum to this post...
The argument could be based on quality, but I also do not think that is a great argument.  And I know this next statement may upset some, but it's true:  There are many, many US MTs who are not producing quality transcripts, either.  It is a fact.  Another fact is that many hospitals/physicians are not extremely concerned about quality.  If you have ever had access to hospital EMR, you will notice how many mistakes are input by physicians and nurses...even drug allergies are spelled phonetically.  It appears that they just do not care about quality.
Addendum to the benefits question.....sm
The other benefits such as PTO and 401K, and anything else I can't think of right now, kick in after 90 days. I forgot about this before.
ADDENDUM: The REAL truth is . .
. . that if some of the posters say the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name they are MTSO's
Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n

ADDENDUM to "late" last night postSM
I have worked as an IC for 10 years or so and the company provides the line count, the MT merely okays the count on the invoice and sends it in. All I have worked for have done it this way. We don't have a say in the count.

THEY provide(have a tally) of the count to the client, so they get paid. SO.... THEY KNOW what is what. You should get paid, 3000 lines is a great deal of money, especially now days.

I would like to learn how this played out. Keep us posted
You should check out the Nuance website and the Focus website
Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.
It's not at the IRS website. It is in my state website.
It is clearly written that any employer out of state is bound by the laws of my state as far as taxes. Look at your state website.
Their website does not say that (nm)

Do they have a website or an ad somewhere?
I have decided I have had enough with the company-who-will-not-be-named. I admit I can't take it anymore, though I thought I would retire with them! I would love to work for a nice NJ company - Jerser girl that I am. I am looking for a nice company with work, so they sound like a match. Can anyone share how to get in contact with them? I'll be googling in the meantime, but would appreciate any other contact info!
Do they have a website? TIA

Good luck. I know how hard it can be to find a good company. I, again, absolutely LOVE DSG and all the supervisors! They also give positive feedback, which is another hard thing to find in a supervisor/company.

DSG website? do u have it? nm

website- sm
It is www.dsg-inc.net.  Their website doesn't give a lot of information but here is what I know.  It is IC status, they have about 180 to 200 MTs.  Minimum for PT is 2500 lines a week, I can't remember what fulltime was but I think it was 5000 lines a week.  You don't have a set schedule, you can work when you want and like I said earlier about the weekends.  They use DocQScribe as their platform.  I've had people tell me that they have a hard time getting work with them but when I talked to the recruiter she said that they had one of their largest accounts that had started sending in more dictation and they were behind pretty bad.  She said that she expected the large amount of dictation to continue and not have a problem getting work.  I turned down the position and went with somebody else but they were my second choice of all the companies I had talked to.  They sounded like a good fit for me. 
Does anyone have website for MDI-MD?

I can't find it.


 


Website for MDI..
www.mditrans.com
Go to IRS website and - sm
do a search for independent contractor and it gives very specific guidelines to what an independent contractor is.  If they are not following those guidelines then they are breaking the law. 
Website sm
Their website isn't down.  I just checked.  Web address is meridianhcs.com.  Doesn't offer any information, though.
