Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
NM
it's called - call forwarding
.
Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
What phone call
are you talking about?
phone call
Can someone relay exactly what was said on the phone call. Was it just talking about the W account or talking about the company being sold or what. I work on a different account and I have not recieved a phone call, please clarify. Thanks.
I got a phone call from L - sm
and then a call later from the office when they needed me to stop work and send in my time and lines.
It was pretty fast.
Call them - someone can help you over the phone
Great company. If you've fallen through the loop it's probably because they have a lot of other applicants too. Give them a call. They're great people.
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
No phone call, but a thought came to me. (sm
I wonder if they are sending out individual packets which might show the level of the employee and the rate of pay they will pay for their status and account. Since this would be on an individual basis that might account for some of the "wait and see" we are getting. Wow.... October is a long way off.
Hopefully whoever gets a call first will post and let us know whatever they find out.
MQ Phone call/Packet
Got the call and yes the packet is suppose to be in the mail in OCT--never gave it a thought that each packet might be different--as stated before none of my questions were answered. Read that the Houston office is closing, are they merging with Dallas??? Is there anyone out there still working for the Foxboro office and will they be one of the offices that will be closing in the future???
Warning about the phone call from MQ...sm
After reading the boards about the new MQ plan I went to Qnet to see what I could find. I haven't received the packet yet nor had I received a phone call (or so I thought). I found a section that stated I received a phone call on Sept 15th and that I had received paperwork. I wondered what the heck was going on. Checked my caller ID and sure enough on Sept 15th there was an 800 number (after typing it in Google I found out it was Medquist). After talking with my husband at dinner about the new plan and the phone call he finally (after 2 weeks) tells me that they called and HE told them that I got a paper in the mail. They never called ME back or asked that I call them with questions. So you might want to ask your husband or kids if they talked to someone. 
Start with a phone call! sm
Call the offices or clinics, ask for the office manager, and ask about their transcription status. Go from there. You just may end up "in the right place at the right time".
It takes lots of energy and motivation, but it is well worth it.
Also, you must keep your promises to them to succeed. If you say you will have the work back in 24 hours, you must have the work back in 24 hours, etc. It is very important to be honest with your clients. They are frustrated just as much as we MTs are with the lack of honesty and integrity throughout this industry.
Good luck to you.
Nice getting a phone call, that
is nice to be appreciated. What are their good points. I am always looking.
Pick up the phone and call
x
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
Didn't you get the phone call?
Even though our cost of living is probably about 5 times that of Bangalore, some genius has decided that compensation should be 'equalized'. That's about as much explanation as you're going to get. At least in my phone call, they tried to say that they conducted a survey of MTSOs and determined that we were way overpaid, so in doing the global calibration, they have determined that we won't be hurt too badly. While no specific mention was made of VR, I'm wondering if that's going to be plummeting down to the 2 cents that we thought must be a joke in a prior posting.

No packet or phone call..maybe I'm TOAST!
NM
I'm curious if any of you pick up the phone and actually call your STM sm
to discuss your worries, or do you just post anonymously on the boards and hope a miraculous change will happen by osmosis? Personally I'd call my manager and specifically request to be backed up to an account that has a lot more work on a regular basis, and maybe phase out some of the smaller other 4 accounts.
But that's just me and maybe that's why I am happy and secure here....
Good luck to you.
Breitner transcription phone call?
What phone call/meeting was this? I was never informed of any.
C-phone-you don't need two lines
I used a C-phone and used my call waiting for it. If I could not interrupt the job, I would let it go to voice mail. When I don't pick up my call waiting, the call goes to voice mail. For an extra $2.00 a month, I had talking call waiting so I could tell who was trying to call. I would not hang up on any job unless my child's school was calling.
phone lines
They will reimburse for one phone line, but some of their accounts require 3 lines.
C-phone-you don't need two lines
HOw about with a C-phone. If you have voice mail you can just let the calls go to voice mail... you dial in to get dictation and type it... email it all back when you are finished. That would be fine with just dial up.
old phone lines
When I was a manager at MTSO, one of the common problems we had with some of our clients was that their phone lines in the hospital where they were dictating were very old and needed replaced, but of course the hospital claimed that they had no money in their budgets to replace them. You can have the BEST equipment possible (digital, etc.) and it won't work well if the phone lines the docs are using to dictate on, are old and not good.
Unfortunately, I think with the state many of our hospitals are in right now with budget crises, they are just existing and since this doesn't affect quality of care for the patients (I beg to differ, but oh well!), they are not fixing these types of issues until they have more cash flow.
It's a sad state, no doubt, that we are in with some of these accounts.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

wish I knew...missed phone call as it was a last minute...sm
thing and not during my shift, as I work evenings. Something about changes in the organization and jobs have been phased out or merged and mine was phased out. I know that without shift leads there are going to be a lot MTs out there on their own, but what can I say. Just the way of the MT world I guess, constantly changing. lol
Get proactive!!! Pick up the phone and call the office?? NM

Make a phone call. Too important to leave to email. nm
s
Good point. Who do I get on the phone if I have to call customer service
for my credit cards, or software questions, or whatever? I get someone who I can barely communicate with in the freakin Philippines, or wherever. It is so WRONG.
I did phone training years ago on the platforrm and was paid 50.00 per call (sm)
The call usually lasted an hour, and was one-on-one.
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
I received a phone call from MDI mgt. about my questionnaire answers and told ICs must by E/O ins.

Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Snot grams? Teehee. You got that right.
I cringe whenever I see a new email from her pop up. And they do seem to be in cycles. It will be quiet for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden we'll be bombarded with them.
Teehee!!!! HAHA LOL! I feel like I am treated that way sometimes. sm
As for how I know my accuracy...
I have QA bonuses. You have to pull up 99% or better on audit to get it AND send under a certain percentage to QA in full.
NO I am NOT the only OP specialist we have. If you don't see OPs it is probably because they go to us first and if we finish, you don't have any of them in the general pools.
Do you call outsourcing and taking away lines from MTs who have been with them sm
a long time just a MISSTEP and human error? Maybe in India they can live on $30 a day, but here in America, it doesn't cut it for me. Perhaps since you are one of the leads, it did not affect you and perhaps that is why you see it as a mere sneeze in the scheme of life instead of the blast of toxic waste that it truly was.
I trusted them, and to be told there is no work because of the holidays long after the holidays are over, only to find out it has been outsourced is a slap in the face and a gross misuse of the trust we had estabilshed over the past year or so. It is far MORE than human error. No human with any kind of compassion could let someone starve just to line his pockets.
Would you mind forwarding that email to me?

I work for MQ too and haven't received an email on the new "packet" yet!
Thx!
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

VERY expensive
I think it was almost $300/mo for single and much more for kids/family. No dental.
Have you looked to see if your state offers some kind of subsidized health plan for kids? There's one in my state and the income guidelines are quite generous and it was very easy to sign up for - downloaded the forms off the internet and sent them in. I would suggest you do a little research in that direction.
MQ has good benefits, but good luck to a newbie getting the 150 lph on those teaching hospital accounts that you'll need to maintain your benefits.
That is really expensive
for insurance. I could never afford that.
You have to buy a lot of very expensive
equipment - a $300 router, a special modem, and their special telephony equipment. They only do overflow work, accounts not too bad, but there are problems there.
Self-pay for me is less expensive
I work for Keystrokes but unfortuantely their group insurance is more for me than what I pay on my own. I am told it is because of the overall health status of the group involved. If you are healthy, have no preexisting medical conditions,take no medications, and do not smoke you will find that a private plan is more reasonable than a group plan where the majority enrolled are over weight, have chronic illnesses and take prescription medications. Another good reason to stay in shape girls. :)
Very expensive
COBRA is normally offered when your personal or job insurance is no longer active (ex: you quit your job, you were let go). The rates are generally high, there is a cost for others added on to your insurance, and I believe it is only good for 18 months. You may want to check with other medical insurance companies and compare pricing. If there are any pre-exisiting conditions, you will want to find out about the waiting period for that (normally 6 months) as long as you have been covered within the last 6 months. Hope this helps.
insurance 2 expensive?
Recently I was contacted by an agent of the company I work for and was told that basically they didn't know how much longer they could cover me on their insurance plan that I have been on for years. I am having a bit of a problem changing insurance companies right now because of a chronic illness. I gather that their portion is too expensive although I have no confirmation of that. Can they actually drop me off of their insurance for this reason? I suppose they could always terminate me or push me out, giving no reason, their right, but I already know why. Is this illegal or does it just fall under being a poorly run company?
I think their insurance is very very very expensive. nm

TransTech is not less expensive than that...sm
my plan costs what you are paying now with the surcharge, but they have added a high deductible plan that is about 60% of the cost of a regular health plan.
I am getting a little desparate paying these premiums, too. I hope you find something better.
Unfortunately, no. The last job I had the COBRA was too expensive, so I did
not get it, and had about a 4-month lapse.
I guess India got too expensive.
Glad I quit.
Can someone please tell me how expensive Transtech insurance is.....sm
for self only? low deductibles.
I thought they were looking for less expensive plans
