In Reply to: It's a better place to work, IMO. The support is better too. - MDI'er
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL

Hi, I was wondering how many MTs sent a resume to Alex-Med, Inc. and who had gotten a response? Thanks
Alex-Med, Inc.
Has anyone ever worked for Alex-Med, Inc. in Virginia?
What gives with Alex-Med? Anybody know anything @ them?
Alex Med
Check post by me2 on 03/01/06, very accurate. Nothing has changed except she doesn't pay by the gross line but the character line. She pays on time but verify what you should be paid by what you actually did get paid. Sometimes this does not match.
Alex-Med
Lots of extra work in form of maintaining daily log sheets, updating and inserting addresses, and updating forms and templates. Otherwise, the work is there and you get paid on time.
Alex-Med
Just wondering if anyone has applied/heard back if they have applied. Also, the post states to send resume in an e-mail, but I did not see one listed. If anyone could pass that information along I would appreciate it. Thank you.
ALEX-MED
If they can't post the ad correctly, what type of company do you think they would be to work for?
Try DTS, they are getting new accounts, and pay on time, employee status and pay a pretty good line rate, and it's a true 65 character line with spaces. I am very happy at DTS. They don't make you wait a month to get paid either. I started at the end of a pay period and got a small check for almost $200 for a couple of days work. They also pay 4 hours of training.
Highly recommend them, VERY NICE PEOPLE! Good QA department no Gestapo.
Alex-Med, anybody edit for them? (sm)
 I was interested to know how they are to work for, pay on time, steady work flow, sound quality, that kind of thing. Any insight is appreciated.
Any info on Alex-Med Inc? I think they are in VA. Thanks!
Any new info on Alex-Med, Inc?
What little I can find is from last year and earlier. Thanks in advance.
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering.
Liz doesn't report to Alex anymore?
She may run the day to day operations, just like a lot of people at Transcend run that end of the corporation. But they all still report to the higher-ups and any upper-level corporate changes made would also include MDI-FL, since they are a subsidiary of Transcend. If Transcend suddenly decided that all employees will operate on the same pay/benefit scale corporate wide, that would also include the employees of MDI-FL. I'm not saying they're going to do this, but I'm saying that Liz may control certain aspects, but she isn't the final say. Things could change at the drop of a hat or the whim of Transcend upper-level management.
Any new information about Alex-Med? Last post I saw was from 2006. sm
That post was not so flattering, painting the owner in a not-so-pretty light. Anyone work for them currently? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
SW runs out of work
SW MQ office does run out of work. Rarely but it does.
DSG runs out of work a lot...
nm
That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource. After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house. After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..

Platform runs too slow for my expander
Spell checker you have to provide. Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed. Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid. Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise. They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual. Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not. Good luck either way!
Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago. She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing. It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL
Heaven help us.. I cant have anymore down time.. I'm starving here..

Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
i couldn't take it and the crew that runs it? forgetaboutit. double horrid.
sorry you got screwed... go far far away from them. they dont' deserve you
Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
Well for one thing, it would not be a professional thing
to do for any MTSO to have a board to do this as part of being an MTSO involves the ability to identify and hold on to confidential information. Even if a person is a job hopper (which in this business rather than go against you can make you a stronger better MT if you can do just about anything thrown at you), if a person is looking for a job, a company needs to have the MT's permission to contact their current employer. Where one has worked or has not worked is something that is very unprofessional being discussed on a board by MTSOs.
Being a business owner of any kind comes with it possessing what it takes to maintain ethical practices.
MDI-FL is not the same as it use to be. They say one thing sm
and do another. MDI-FL has their pets and it is so evident.
One more thing
Do you know anything about Medical Transcription Services out of Texas. They hire graduates of Andrews and other schools. Thank you.
Oh-one more thing...
You never said how many lines you type an hour-- over 350 to 400 typing and 600 editing??
DIDN'T THINK SO--you don't know what you are talking about in regards to the problems a lot of us are having because it is probably better for you. Even the Transcend CEO said it would be better for the SLOWER MTs. I guess you are one of those I take it. If you EVER get your line count up and then have it snatched away, then maybe you will understand what we are talking about, but right now you are clueless sweetie!!!....LOL
That's the thing and
I've been watching this board for a few months now and whenever anyone has a good position as the the poster above states, they never post their real name or where they work. Hmmmm.
OSI did the same thing to me ....
It took them 2 months after I got an acceptance letter. Nobody knew what anyone else was doing and they would never call me back or answer my E-mails or anything, so I went elsewhere and boy am I glad I did
Another thing...
I find it particularly pathetic that someone at Transcend is so willing to put my name out there, yet doesnt post their name. I am sure that you are one to get on here and complain and whine about how you hate Transcend and are so unhappy and trash the place while hiding in secrecy. Why not post your complaints on the forum? To afraid? It really burns me that someone could drag me into this thread while being a coward and not post their own name. 
She had one thing that the other
management knew nothing about....RESPECT for the MTs!
And the sad thing about this...sm
they have some great accounts, great dictators...but they are pitiful to work for. Happened to me 3 times. When I told them their check was no good...her response was....funds will be available in 3 days. yeah right!!! I was stupid to stay on that long to receive 3 BAD checks.
Know what will happen, one day some of those MTs will get pissed off and they MAY just lose some of those good accounts they have...and that 8% allowance for spaces..yeah right, who does Deb Garrison think she is fooling? Does she really think all MTs can't "figure" that this is so wrong!!!!
She and her husband are a piece of WORK...
Here is the thing. (sm)
Those who fail a test for employment at other nationals can be hired by OSi. So, how does that make you feel? OSi does not require a decent score to be hired....they are desperate!!!
I would not feel too superior working for OSi...I would be embarrassed!
They are doing the same thing at MDI-FL.
Overhire and no work for current employees.
Only thing I know is... sm
I've seen the recruiters name listed for at least 4 companies in the last couple years and have been misled to two companies she recruited for, I would be wary of any promises she makes. Just my observation of the job boards, won't work anywhere she recruits for.
And another thing (sm)
We all will make this profession or what used to be a profession what it is today.
We are selling a service. If I hired an attorney, I would not ask him for a psychological test or a credit report. I wouldn't ask a contractor that was doing some work in the backyard for a credit report.
When companies ask me for too much for too little, I blow them off. They are already taking a lot of your pay. For them to want you to be an IC, you pay for your own equipment and internet service, you give them an hourly schedule when you are supposed to be an IC, they want 3 references, etc., and now they want a psycological test? Ask a contract attorney or contractor for that, they'd probably hang up the phone in your ear.
Yes, I want to hire you as my attorney, but I want to see a credit report, want to know exactly what hours you will be working and you will need to take a psychological test. All this and I will pay you $10.00 an hour.
I think it is nonsense and they are not treating us like professionals and with the respect that we deserve. And with that, good luck ladies and gents!
Same Thing For Me
The same thing happened to me. Got a call yesterday stating that I started the testing, but never finished and they would like me to work with them. The reason I didn't finish it is that I got a pop-up screen that said I didn't have enough experience, but the caller yesterday said they stress the 2-year experience heavily and I don't have 2 years yet.
even my mgr says there is really no such thing
as straight 'verbatim'. We have to use a little common sense, and esp with obvious errors of dictation, we put what is right, ie, the he/she thing.
I work a verbatim as my primary account, and at times would LOVE to put it character-per-character verbatim, but it'd never fly and at least my mgmt understands that (at MQ)...
Here's the thing.
I came to this board in a sincere search for info about companies. When I saw all the OSi bashing and name-calling and the tendency to berate anybody that might disagree, my immediate impression was that this was just a disgruntled employee taking his/her bad feelings out on an ex-employer. If anything, it made OSI look more appealing to me. I was relieved when the adm. finally took measures to get some proof because when facts are presented in an irrational, angry way, they're really questionable. Presentation is everything. If you want to express your opinion, why not do it in such a way that you're believable and don't come across as an unreliable source. What's so difficult about that? People want your honest opinions, but aren't looking to be insulted or read your personal vendettas. And now that I'm comfortably with a co. again, I won't be coming back to this board. It's been a very negative experience for the most part.
