It is a West Coast account. Rather not mention names. nm
She and her husband run the account.
Especially with the east coast/west coast difference

On the West Coast
I heard the term typing monkeys, too. Wouldn't surprise me if it were used all throughout the company, they had so little respect for us. I just thought it was an LA thing, but evidently not.
MTS Services (not in West MA)
Hello all. I run a small transcription service. I am sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of responses and resumes I get all at once! I am truly apologetic that I am not able to get back to all of you in a more timely manner. If you ever have questions about who we are and what we do, please feel free to email any time! I am a MT as well so I have been there done that. I understand all the probs and things that go with being a MT. - Mark
I thought it came from the old West, when
to the white men, and then a few months later, came around in the middle of the night and stole them back to be re-sold to someone else.
Because of their location on the west side of the Hudson,
expecially if you have to pay the per minute fee just to call the other side of that stickin' river! I never understood the phone company's rationale in that rip off!
? I think saying west coasts accts are all scary sm
is an overreaction. I've seen Florida, Texas and other accounts that were horrendous. 60% ESL estimate is really not bad at all.
I worked for L&H out of West Palm Beach
and I really miss them. They were the best company I ever worked for in this business, treated us fairly and with respect. I worked for MQ when I first started out working at home in about 1995 and didn't stay with them long. I was so heartbroken when MQ acquired L&H and left shortly after.
No, they're home on the range in the ole wild west.nm
Where in Michigan? North, south, east, or west? Other clues? nm

Thanks - I'm on the East Coast too
I'll have to look around here some more. Thanks.
W. Coast is a lot of Asian. nm

That sounds about right for East Coast!
So, now you see that the MTSOs don't really make that much off of us!!!! Maybe we should thank our lucky stars!! 
Not just CA - east coast here and 100K is not all that much
for a couple to make. Many married couples I know make around that it and are just scraping by.

I worked for them several years ago. Very small, friendly company and pay was always on time, but have not seen anything recently about them looking for transcriptionists. At the time I worked for them, the account that I was on was just going internet, but we still used a C-phone. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have worked for GCT for 3 years! We use SoftMed and Chartscript via the internet. There is always plenty of work (two major hospitals and plenty of private groups/practices), and, if, for some reason, you run out, they are more than happy to assign more work to you. Pay is bi-monthly (direct deposit) and on time! Pay scale is comparable! Owners are very friendly and down to earth, very willing to work with you! Office staff is very friendly. Editors/Trainers are very friendly. This is a great company to work for.

Saw some gab a few days ago on GCS (poster was happy GCTer or something like that) and would like some info if anyone can help.
When you say they have plenty of work, do you mind my asking how many lines you do per day/week? Also, what are they paying cpl? If you don't want to tell me exactly what they are paying you, would you just give me a range?
Also, do they work with you well when you want to take time off or need a sick day?
Thanks for the help!
I know Gulf Coast Transcription will consider it

Yeah Gulf Coast
I have been working for Gulf Coast since February. I absolutely love this company! Yes, all positions are IC, so of course no benefits. However, I find the company to be so friendly and so helpful. They bend backwards for you; whatever, you need the make sure you have it. I am transcribing ER notes currently. I would refer anyone to this company. They are absolutely great!

Does anyone work for Gulf Coast Transcription out of Ft. Myers, Florida? If so, what is their pay scale?
East coast MT/MEs? Saw Futurenet's ad (sm)
and was just curious as to why they have to live on the east coast. Client preference? Time zones?
They advertised for east coast ME.
That's what I applied for. I have a FT job too, just want part-time ME at night to give my fingers a rest.
Hey girl, greetings from the northwest coast of Fla. sm
did you take that ASR test yet? I know Spheris has a few new accounts coming on board too but I don't think you'd want to go back to that. Cornerstone was not my cup of tea but loved TWS. If something isn't broke, don't fix it.

Found some good things in the archives, but no information recently... pros, cons, would like to apply to this company soon. Thanks!

I just found out today that they offshore. I didn't realize this.

Does anyone currently work for this company who could give some information? Are they hiring now? Thanks a lot.

I currently work for Gulf Coast
and absolutely love it! I have been with them for a year and a half. I believe they are trying to hire for nights and weekends, as we are needing the coverage for these shifts to meet our TAT.

Does this company have heavy ESL? Do you have plenty of work, what kinds of platforms do they have and is pay per line decent? Any info would help. I checked their website and there is not a whole lot of information.

gulf coast transcription website says
that's almost scary in a too good to be true way. Does anybody work for them? do they offer benefits? TIA 
Gulf Coast Transcription info?
Oop!! Gab on GCT of course - not GCS!!!
Looking for information on Gulf Coast Transcription sm
I know all positions are IC. Just looking for some information from someone working for them or who has worked for them.. Thanks.
Gulf Coast Transcription--any advice?
I submitted an application with Gulf Coast Transcription and was invited to test, which I did. However, that was over 2 weeks ago and I have not had any response. I sent a follow-up email approximately a week ago and still have not heard back. I am very interested in this company, as I have experience with ChartScript and prefer to work IC. However, I am wondering why I have not heard back from them. Even a reply letting me know they are not hiring right now or are not interested would be preferable to no reply at all. There was a telephone number included in the email they sent inviting me to test. I am thinking about calling but do not want to seem too pushy. If anybody has gone through their hiring process and has any insight, I sure would appreciate it. Also, if anyone has any particulars about the line rate, any incentives or shift differentials, etc., I would appreciate that, as well. Please feel free to email me. Thanks!

Anyone working for Gulf Coast Transcription of Florida?
Any and all info appreciated. Thanks!
Any info on Gulf Coast Transcription in Florida?
Given job offer. Must admit it is tempting to tell MQ where to put it, but I don't want to go from bad to worse. Any feedback??
Today is the last day for a large hospital on the East Coast.
No doubt about it.
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm
**
The account I am on only requires 1200 lpd. Maybe it is that particular account. Ask them if they
have a lower one. Doesn't hurt to ask. I do anywhere between 1200 and 1800 lpd. Sometimes it feels impossible to do 1200, sometimes the 1800 is quick. Depends on the doctors and the day for me. I do average 15,000 per pay period though, which is 1500 a day. Not impossible by any means, and I never go over 40 hours a week. Most weeks, I am closer to 35 hours with lunch breaks and life.
I think it depends on the account. I have one account that pays sm
$2.25 for specials and one that pays $3.50. I was on one previously that did not pay them different at all, but they were all short and mostly PICC line placements.
I worked for a hospital that went to KS and they were not charging extra for the specials. I know what they charged per report, and there was no way they were getting rich on the difference after taxes and all that. I was suprised. I was in on the bid review and the average to charge was between $1.75 and $2.75 per report or 0.13 and 0.15 per line. There were 15 companies that bid on the account, and all were within those ranges.
I went to KS about 6 months after the hospital outsourced to them. When we were displaced, I accepted a different job in the hospital and hated it.
That is not true. It varies from account to account. I have
several internet accounts and on some you do have to input the patient information.
I know the account. It is "hybrid" account that is a version of sm
Meditech that is a cross between Meditech Magic and Client, more like Client than Magic. I have been on it since October now do 1500 lines a day; it took me a week to get up to speed but they really helped me. I only know which one because my lead told me that they are adding 10 people to it because KS is getting the whole thing now, only doing 1/2 before this. I love working for Keystrokes :)
Account wen to speech from almost the beginning of the account --
Don't like ExSpeech at all. Very bulky and cumbersome. Much better editing programs. I prefer to straight transcribe on ExText. Pay drops horrendously. But wave of the future for MT's.
