I have my own docs and my supervisor is great. She leaves me alone to do my work and as long as I do it well and on time, she leaves me alone. I prefer this, so it is a great job for me. I average 14,000 lines a pay period and make 0.09 per line. I do use their insurance, which costs me $204 per month, but it's only me. So far, so good with the new insurance!
I'm not sure if they are hiring but it would be worth trying.

I agree 100%...I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years doing Ortho
and I love it...best company I have worked for...
Over 9 years ortho experience and not even a callback from Keystrokes..
I can assume that they were swamped with applications or maybe I was just not want they were looking for. Oh well....other ortho accounts out there. I have enough acute care that I should find something.
Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
I worked for Keystrokes for a couple of years...
I was very happy with the company. I didn't have a problem with them, just needed to take a leave for a while and ended up starting with another company a few months later. It's been about a year and a half since I worked for them, but at that time there was plenty of work. I had no problems with supervision. I really don't have anything negative, but again it's been a while, so I don't know what the workload is like these days. Hope that helps - good luck!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the best. I worked at MQ for 8 years and left in January. sm
Wish I had done it two years ago. Lots of work, easy accounts, great team leads! I am making less per report but more each check because of better account with more work available!
I worked for Keystrokes a few years back. There were some problems but was told they were working on
I had heard that before, too many times to count, so I left.
I came back 2 years ago and it was like night and day.
All of the old problems are gone. They blamed them on growing pains and never denied them. Instead they fixed them. They have my vote!
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great! I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is? TIA
Keystrokes Ortho pay
I was just wondering if anyone who works on ortho for KS would be willing to share what their average pay/production is. I just got hired and am very excited but also worried because the line rate is a lot lower than what I'm used to. I've been doing acute care with high ESL for the last 11 years, so I'm hoping that the ease of the clinic work will make up for the low line rate. I'm, going to be working in ExText. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I have almost 9 years of ortho and I
when they called. When I returned the call, I was told that We did have 3 openings when I called you but it's first come, first served and you missed out.
I was told that at 1 pm today and now I see they have a job posting for 12 ortho MTs.
I have been with them over 2 years as well on ortho...
I use Scribe, which is a word-based platform...very user friendly.
Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run. I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group. I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Keystrokes -ortho account
Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts? Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position? What is the testing like? Thanks!
Keystrokes structures it like this for ortho
The Keystrokes manager who handles the ortho department structures it where you are assigned your own physicians. You have 24 hours to have the work done. You must pass a test though, but it is not a hard one.
I did ortho a couple of years ago...
and it was definitely a challenge! What I did was got an ortho word book and studied it when I could. I also took as many repeated phrases as I could and put them in autotype. Hope this helps!
I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...
nm
I guess 17 years of ortho exp. isn't good enough for them
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Keystrokes Ortho MTs--What is your production like in terms of lph etc.. on their system?
Just wondering how easy it was to make a good decent living on their Ortho accounts. Thinking of applying.
I work on an ortho account. Keystrokes is just wonderful! They will help you in every way possible
and seem to really care about each person. They have been very good to me and I am very thankful to have a job with such a great company!
Try Keystrokes for ortho. Lots of work. The lead is the best I have ever had. sm
I have two doctors that I am responsible for and love having them assigned because I know what they are going to say before they say it. She is a stickler for reliability and quality, but if you are a good MT, you will love it!
Yeah, with 14 years of ortho and WC experience, 6.5 cpl is NOT an option.
I'd work at a fast-food restaurant first. When did our skills become so insultingly undercompensated. I'm like a lot of us, about ready to go back to school..do anything but this. Luckily, I also so medical insurance billing so I may have to go back in-office and do that. At least, I know I'll be compensated ...FAIRLY.. what a bunch of.....
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks
nm
Apparently, you got a call back.. Not me.. over 9 years of ortho experience and nada
Oh well, best wishes to you. Let me know how it goes once your through the process. I had asked before about information on them but no one seems to have any.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
Been with Keystrokes for 4+ years and not planning on going anywhere
I type Radiology and the Company is great just scroll down and you will find lots of info on Keystrokes.
I have been with Keystrokes for 2 years and can say the same as KSMT...
I have gotten a referral bonus, gift cards, et cetera....they are a really great company to work for and value their employees.
I left more than 2 years ago and went to Keystrokes...
I am way happier
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!
nm
I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
Great company.
I worked for 2 other nationals before Keystrokes..(sm)
I can tell a HUGE difference in the personal attention they pay to their employees. I felt like nothing but a number at the big nationals and I finally feel like I am actually a person at Keystrokes, one who counts. I also believe they will do everything in their power to keep it that way too.
The ones I referred to never worked for Keystrokes. sm
They worked for the hospital and then as ICs for the hospital. I did not mean to upset anyone. If you were a mother/daughter team at Keystrokes, and I think I know who as there were 3 and now only 1, then you were well-liked and appreciated. I know for a fact that the owner speaks very highly of all three of the mom/daughter teams, even the two who are gone, saying that she wished they were back.
These two MTs never worked there; they were from the hospital and had never worked anywhere else!
I would never intentionally offend anyone and certainly did not mean to do so by the post. The two who chased Keystrokes off the account were proud of it.
Has anyone worked for both Axoltol and Keystrokes?
I'd just like some feedback, pros/cons as you see them. Feel free to e-mail privately.
I'd go with Keystrokes. The best place I have EVER worked for!!

Anyone worked at Keystrokes, Good, Bad???
Just wanted some information about Keystrokes to see if anyone works there and likes it. Thanks.
I have worked for MDI for 2 years and I
have never gotten a raise. Production incentives????? Never. If you are looking for all the perks, you'd better look somewhere else.
Worked at OSi for over 2 years and they have never
I worked for them about 3 years ago
The people were real sweet, but I couldn't pay my bills. They have a funny pay scale and it changes after 3 months. Wish you luck.
I have worked there for 2+ years sm
and am happy with the company. They supply your computer for free, they help with education, everyone is helpful. There was a slow time for a few months, but it has picked up now. MT work always has slow times from time to time. They have hospital accounts that one can work on if one runs out of work, which they pay more for MTs that can work acute care accounts as well as CMTs.
I have worked for them for 2 years and like it.
They have multiple platforms to work on. They have some difficult accounts, but no more than any other company I have worked for. There is always work available as you have secondary accounts and they provide a list of accounts that need extra help daily. Benefits are good, pay is NEVER late, direct deposit.
I worked for them about 2 years ago as IC sm
and they were really nice people to work for. Paid on time and very flexible, too.
I worked for them a few years ago.
I got my feet wet working for them, and I gained some valuable experience. However, I found that they constantly sent updated notes/templates on how their docs wanted files formatted. This got to be very time consuming after a while as this seemed to be a weekly occurence. Of course, that was a few year ago, so they might have come up with a better system. I also found their pay to be on the low end, and their raises, which you had to put in for, weren't all that great.
I worked for them 3-4 years ago and they were
very, very nice. At the time, it was strictly IC status. Don't know what they pay now but I got 7 cents a line. They had radiology, acute care, ER, clinic notes and cardiology. Pay was always on time. Platform was nice, all done over the internet, use your own PC. Never had problems and tech support was great. I would have stayed but needed fulltime with benefits.
I worked there two years ago
And at that time they still gave you all the equipment and paid for down time if you documented it correctly.
I had an okay experience at Transolutions. The people were really nice. What they said in the other threads about receiving huge thick binders on each account is true though, and I did run out of work a few times but they paid me for it.
I worked for her years ago
and in my many years before and many years since, I have never had a worse experience. Pay was by the gross line and I got my money, but I have never known anyone to be as nasty and mean as this person was to me. This is just my experience, but IMO, you would be wise to avoid any dealings with this company.
Probably should have said, I worked for them about 4 years ago, so they may pay a little better now.

I think that's sad. I worked there about 2 years ago and liked it. nm

I have worked there for over 3 years and I'm...
 Great people to work for. Pay is very dependable. Work is very consistent. Most of the time there is more work than you can handle. My paycheck is very consistently in the same price range unless I take days off. Great QA people. They work with your schedule. I honestly do not have any complaints about them. I really like working for them.
