This upcoming one is the first I have heard of since I came on board (about 3 months ago).  Used to work for MQ and these were often a prelude to us getting s*&^*^d.  Please tell me this is just an informative type how-do-you-do thing.  So far everything about this company has been great, I just have recurring nightmares about the past couple of years I spent with MQ.  Thanks.

I'm glad to be working for Webmedx. 

Methodist Health System Selects Webmedx for Medical Transcription Technology

and Services

Company accommodates individual physician preferences and complex technology

environment









ATLANTA, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Webmedx, the fourth largest medical

transcription service provider in the U.S. and a premier supplier of clinical

documentation technology, today announced that Methodist Health System of

Dallas (Methodist) has signed an agreement to implement Webmedx's

Transcription Outsourcing Service and Enterprise(TM) software solution. A

web-native system for transcription and content management, the platform will

support Methodist's transcription needs and interface with the organization's

electronic health record (EHR).  



The challenge for our organization was to find a transcription partner

flexible enough to accommodate the varying needs of our physicians while also

delivering superior quality and prompt turnaround time for our reports,

mentions Pamela Stoyanoff, Executive Vice President of Operations for

Methodist Health System. 



Methodist and Webmedx technology teams worked diligently to implement

customized, blended, transcription solutions which will help the organization

meet diverse physician requirements and remain competitive. Additional Webmedx

benefits include a strong local presence for ongoing communication and

simplified service invoicing.



At some point in time, a lower per-line transcription price wasn't the

primary driver; quality and superior service was, Stoyanoff concludes.

Webmedx will replace the organization's long-term transcription supplier at

three Methodist hospitals beginning this month. Methodist chose Webmedx based

on our long-standing reputation for quality and the comfort of knowing we

would deliver an exceptional product and support, mentions Chris Cashwell,

Senior Vice President of Client Development, Webmedx.

Might want to apply to the 2007 and 2008 MT Employer of the Year!

I know they recently were hiring and now the backload summary numbers are down on a lot of accounts (mine included).  I am hoping they just hired in anticipation of new account and are training these people on the current accounts and things will improve after the new accounts come on.  Am I dreaming? 

I understand no company wants to pay OT and it is a balancing act to get the correct number of MTs on any given account.  I just don't think they were hiring to overhire.  They seem far too nice for that. 

Sorry for blithering, main question was do they share info about upcoming new accounts? 

there ARE companies paying 10 cpl now.  Honest.  I work for one as an employee paying me 10 cpl and I work for two more companies as an independent contractor and am paid 11.5 cpl.  These rates are based on 65 characters per line including spaces.  They DO exist.  I won't name them though because I am currently employed/contracted by them and I do not discuss money/pay regarding those I am working for at present.

My best advice would be to have a good well-rounded resume including proficiency with ESL dictators, do excellent on testing (check and re-check everything, time permitting), and when asked what pay rate you are looking for, don't hesitate to say it. 

They made the Inc. 500 list of the Fastest Growing Companies In The US for 2005. THAT'S something positive for ya!

If any of you have had to make the decision not to accept a position with a company you really liked because of high insurance premiums, I have found that I can actually pay less getting it on my own rather than getting it through the company.  I recently accepted a position I really wanted, but their insurance was way too high for family coverage.  Through Aetna, I can get 80/20 coverage, a bit of a high deductible, but we keep that set aside in our savings. It's only $263 a month for my spouse and I plus our two children AND my husband smokes.  I went to ehealthinsurance.com and compared plans, which are all rated.  We're all pretty healthy.  It will be a bit higher if you have preexisting conditions, so getting it through your employer with an affordable premium (group coverage) would work better for you in that instance.

Just wanted to share with my fellow MTs.   

The platform I use now has an Expander built in.  I am an old PRD girl, and have heard ShortHand works similar to that, so was thinking of trying that if it works with ExText.

Thanks again.
