and I left the company in January. They at first only refunded me 100 dollars and said due damage to the monitor they would not be refunding the remaining 200. I explained to them there must be some mistake because the monitor was in perfect condition when I shipped it back to them but they still refused to refund the remaining 200 dollars, but then out of the blue I received a check last week for the 200 dollars and they sent an email saying Although the equipment was damaged, we have decided to refund the remaining 200 dollars anyway. Okay whatever but the equipment was not damaged when I shipped it back, but I am glad they decided to do the right thing.

How long does it take to get a refund on
computer from Webmedx? I returned it at least 3 weeks ago.
I finally got my refund for the computer today. Took
7 weeks and a phone call, but at least I got it. Someone posted last week they had been waiting 3 months and had been getting the run around when she called. No one ever returned my phone call.
Amphion does but they refund it after a year of employment so it worked out nice. NM

I got mine last week. It was postmarked 1/22/08. I actually have a refund coming this year! sm
I had been an IC for so long that I forgot how fun it is to get a refund, even if only $127!
If you don't complete what can you do? I don't,,,
work myself silly trying to get caught up. If I'm short, so be it....it's my paycheck, so I am really only harming myself in the wallet.The thing that irritates me is that when everyone is short they try to make up their time on their days off during my regular work time, taking work away from me.
you are a complete mess!!
ewwwwwww!
Complete with mug shot
with a lot of help from her
Why The Complete Turnaround... NOW
?? at this point in time? The problem is, begging for work like this is humiliating. You have work today, how about tomorrow? Will they open the flood gates again?
BTW--I complete my work in the daytime
..definitely not interested in 3rd shift!
Ad says if you complete testing, you will be entered

Don't know company, but post seems complete to me. nm
Complete medical transcription
has anyone ever heard of the co Complete Medical Transcription? I was offered a job, ic status, but when she called the caller id came up as mynameisjoanna, WI no number. Also her email just says joanna. do you think this is an overseas co. any thoughts??
The company has a complete checklist...
They state you must have Win XP for example. They mention that Word 2000 is not compatible, but that Word 2003 is. They don't say anything about Word 2002. I work on another software that is web based and it's compatible with a USB pedal, so I kinda don't get why EditScript would need a 9-pin pedal to work, in which case I would need an adapter since my PC is all USB.

I'm being hateful to complete strangers?
you've got it all figured out, now don't you? Guess you told me, huh?
Are you dyslexic by any chance, or just in a rush to judgment? The first 10 years of my career, I was an in-house MT with great pay and benefits. We were respected employees in the hospital and I enjoyed a reputation as being a top-notch MT....that's how I got a 30% raise with free benefits at Baylor College Medicine and later at Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, working during the hey-day of heart transplant advances made by such world-renown doctors as Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. You may have heard of them. So you see, I never really considered myself a failure, having been in the position to have the privilege of being a part of that. I guess I needed you to bring that to my attention.
After outsourcing, I maintained my connections to the Baylor and the TMC through my accounts and typed my way through ground-breaking AIDS research and later pioneering advances in plastic surgery. Silly me. I didn't measure my success in terms of dollars and cents, worldly possessions and the like. I took great pride in my work (still do) and learned to struggle through the love/hate relationship I had with it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was a part of something that was intelligent, important, worthwhile and helpful to others. I stayed in it for the only real reason I have ever understood throughout the years...quality patient care. I had a contribution to make to that. You see, dear, it was not an industry to me...it was my calling.
My post was an attempt to address the unnecessary hate part of that relationship. My comments were not directed toward some mean-spirited stranger in need of a self-righteous superiority fix, but feel free to trounce me to your heart's content. I did not put in all those years of hard work to be run out of the profession by theiving subcontractors or the likes of you. I had a story to tell and a message to deliver to the penny pinching TTD scavenger, no more, no less.
Your judgmental, snide and trite observations are too petty to merit further comment, except to say that you need to reserve the pity party for yourself. You are the one who has made a sad and meaningless commentary here, not me.
But what about the ER report being disjointed and not complete - sm
Is that the way to run a medical record? Is that the way to report a human experience? I think something needs to be done about this sloppy and I do mean sloppy reporting of a patient medical case.
The info given by Happy MT is very complete,
but do remember the amount of income you do your calculations on is the amount AFTER your deductions. Refer to IRS website for deductible office space, equipment, and expenses, etc. for home office.
I am sure she was legally bound not to say anything about the sale until it was complete. That is s
business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?
Thanks! How long does the test typically take to complete? nm

I was also told I had to complete 8 hours even if I got my lines before that. nm

Just update your resume, be more complete but keep it brief. They just want to know the nature of yo
If you want a job, and they want to know how to fit you for which department, best to say what you can do like basic 4 acute 10 years, etc. Nothing wrong with that question. They are just trying to match your skills with the job. Some MTs have only done clinic notes or psych notes and some have never done ops no matter 10 or 20 years, etc. Put yourself in their shoes and you will find a reasonable answer. IMHO
uh, judging by this complete thread, sounds like a lot

Craigslist is full of complete idiots.
The funny thing is, I've seen dealers post with grammar/spelling like that. 
I make it a point to not buy things from people like that. I mean, a typo here and there is one thing, but some of them type like 5 year olds and I don't want to give money to idiots!
Are there any companies that allow you a 12-24 hour window to complete work?

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
Total, utter and complete waste of time, effort,
The *CMT* so-called credential is nothing but a scam. THEY get rich, and you DON'T.
I think it's Texas. I'm glad I didnt complete the testing. The sound quality was bad.
I want to think that this Rose was defending one of her newer MTs that had been burned by a former employer for nonpayment so I find this interesting that they would turn out the be the same way.. Wow...
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
I have been there for almost 4 months..
I have only seen 1 MT leave from my training group, but that was due to a personal health issue.
going on 4 months now
up until last month i had plenty of work. now none. it doesnt matter anyway, they will all be going to editing and then you will only get paid 4 cpl. You will NOT make as much as you did typing.
Four months ago. nm

seems like it was about 2-3 months
but i'm a slow learner too. Still, it takes time to build the shortcuts, and for things to become 2nd nature...
What happens after 8 months?
I'm an IC, so wondering if they'll use and abuse me, and then at 6 months, when it's time to renew my contract, they'll say no thanks after I worked my rear-end off to get them up and going on a new account.
Actually, reading the MQ thread about the % productivity is making me wonder if MQ adapted that from Transcend. You know, one recruiter I talked to mentioned Transcend buying MQ ... hmmmm.
Is 6 months enough for you?
I did not say they left because of no work. I was pointing out that yet another MT did not like the platform. That makes 4 MTs (and I am sure there are many more) who think the platform is hard to use. I know there are current employees who like it or just have nothing to compare it with. The 3 I personally know about all commited to at least 6 months (one was with them over a year) before making a judgment, and they did not feel they could get comfortable enough with the Amphion platform to make a good line count. These are not disgruntled ex-employees. They left under good terms and all said the people were great, but that does not pay the bills. With all the complaining I read on this board, I just think MTs should get all the facts before they decide. Everyone needs to make their own decision. What is a great place for one person, may be the absolute pits for another. But making it sound like it is the best place on earth is also misleading.
been with wmx about 7 months and..
I'm sorry to hear you guys have been having problems with the lines and hours at WebMedX. I hate to say it, but oh my gosh - have I been in that boat. I was at 40 hours but then cut back to 35 because I was literally working 10 to 11 hours every day just to make 8 on the clock AND working on my days off, researching ways to make more normals and Expanders and raise my counts. Some days I was literally so frustrated I just wouldn't even work. I am now usually around 175-190 lines an hour but I only work on 2 accounts right now and one of those is the one I was absorbed from and where I had worked for 13 years. FYI: I am now working twice as hard to make half the money I did before. The only advice I can give you as a 33-year MT, is to make as many normals as you can - and really, really be creative with ShortCuts. ShortCut anything you possibly can. I actually think I type in my own weird shorthand now. I believe there are so many things which are actually logical to shortcut that people never think of - or at least I didn't until I was forced to... If there's anything I can do to help, actual shortcut suggestions or anything, please email me or reply. I'd be more than glad to help if I could.
I have been with them going on 7 months sm
and they are such a wonderful company. There are things that could be better but the managers and the QA staff are simply great. I think they are probably the fairest company that I have known and I have worked with a number of companies. QA does not beat you up; they are more on a mentoring type of level and do not belittle you. The account I do is hard but I know some that have been on 100% for many months and they still treat them very well.
Anyway, would recommend them highly to any good MT.
Naming a particular time for being on 100% would not really be fair because it varies with so many things, but the fact is that the company does not hold it against you if you are on QA for a long period of time. They know the difficulty of several of the accounts.
about 6 months ago...
I was offered 8 cpl, but that was just for the first 90 days. After that you go into their payplan, and can make either more or less. All depends on your lph rate, QA score, how many reports you send to QA and I think something else.
It was less than 6 months ago - sm
Doubt very much that anything has changed for the better since, and I have EVERY right to beat the same drum for what was done to me. Until you have walked in my shoes, you have nothing to say about what I post here.
It took me months. Sorry:(

Months for me too
I actually worked for them when they were still Edix and I think it was at least 2 months. I even got a letter from them probably a month or so after returning the computer telling me that I needed to return the equipment in order to get my money. Could never get in touch with anyone, but I eventually did get it, just months later
two months in this.....you probably don't know it all yet
I make a higher rate of pay for being an IC as I do not get paid bonus or benefits. Everyone has different reasons for why they want to be an IC. For me....I made too much money to not take the write-offs (I had to take them to avoid paying a high tax rate). I have had to incorporate as well. Not that I wanted to, but if you make high dollars in this field, the more tax shelter you have the better.
First off, it is going to take you 9+ months just
to get your schooling. Depending on how well you do you might be able to get a job working at home right away, but most likely you will need to get 2 years' experience working in-house for a company or in a doctor's office. There are may newbies here working for jobs without success. Once you do graduate and if you have good scores, you can post your resume on the various job sites. You'd probably have more success that way, as lots of companies don't post openings but hire from the resumes.
It was about 7 months ago.

I have been with MDI for about 4 months and
I really love it! As for LD, I am on a wav account, but my LD with Verizon was only about $30 per month (Freedom package). However,I just had it taken off because I have wav accounts only. Work slowed a bit over summer, but it seems to be picking up now. Great people! Pay always on time via DD, and statutory IC status, which is really nice 'cause it saves you paying both sides of the Social Security tax. MDI is the best company I have worked for and I have over 30 years' experience and have worked for 3 different MT companies. MDI is home for me from now on and there are not too many MTSOs you can say that about any more.
Been there 7 months
I have been with them 7 months. Made 2 small raises so far and always have work. I work on 3 accounts. Everyone is always professional and prompt and accurate when I ask questions. QA department could be a little bit more in sync with each other, but they're pretty good. I am a newbie and have been mentored well and given this opportunity 2 weeks out from graduating school. A lot of more experienced MTs may not choose this company as they have no benefits (all IC) and don't pay the greatest, but I am extremely happy and have my line counts slowly but surely rising and am on accounts where there are about maybe 30-50 doctors each (just a guess), and I get repeat ones all the time. For me, nothing but positive. Good luck! Becky
I was there about 6 months....
very low pay and I was stuck on ER work only, but there are several different accounts. The people were nice enough, IC status, paid once a month. One of the worst things was getting e-mails from the account manager, most of them would be in capital letters, i.e., I NEED EVERYONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING TODAY TO BE WORKING! Talk about annoying! Also, they used WP 5.1 and you had to save everything on a floppy disk...talk about antiquated! I hope it has changed by now! A friend of mine also only lasted 6 months. They keep track of your lines, but when your paycheck comes there is no documentation to go along with it, and my counts were always more than what they had documented....hmmm. When I worked there they required 120 minutes of transcription a day to get the full cpl rate of pay. The ERs I did were mostly 1.5 to 2 minutes long. Hope this helps a bit.
Sorry, but two months ago.......
I would have agreed with MQ MTr! I use to read how peopler were running out of work and would think Boy, am I blessed but now I totally relate to Summertime! I have consistently ran out of work for the last two months and this has never happened to me the entire 9 years I've been employed with MQ! It was a great company in my mind but here lately, I'm not thinking that as often. I believe I would try another company if I were Ginny. Good luck!
SPI had one like that. Six months in and
she still didn't know echo cardiogram from electro cardiogram. And they SAID she used to be a medical records department head. If so, I pity those guys.
I did this three months ago..
I left the company I had been with for a long time due to weekly running out of work. I was VERY scared, to say the least. I am SO glad I made the move, though. I'm making more money here (paid hourly) and never run out of work.
