If the bill is currently in limbo, why would they assign the same bill number to another bill?
I'm not trying to argue with you here and I think that outsourcing is a very important issue that needs to be addressed by congress. What I'm saying is make sure you have all the correct information.

Clinton
Amen and healthcare became royally messed up since Hillary. The game has just gone on since with constant changes and rules insurance against doctor, etc. I was there then too and why I work at home.
Is this company in clinton township?

NAFTA was ratified in 1993 under Clinton. sm
Offshoring has bipartisan support in the Senate. It is no one party's fault. Please inform yourself.
Clinton also left this president a SURPLUS
Because now he has created the LARGEST DEFICIT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. By the time he's done, there will be no US - we'll be a satellite branch of China or Japan.
Actually that was clinton who started that ball a rolling.
Clinton ignored bombings on US by terrorists. BTW, revenues were counted twice, SM
SS was counted twice, put in the general fund. It all looks good on paper. I dont want to debate this with you, I am bored with this and tired of repeating myself. Clinton pulled troops out Somalia, which Bin Laden himself said is why he knew America was weak. To say things in sound bites does not do history justice, and leads to untruths.
You obviously want to blame Bush for everything, even outsourcing. No history lesson will change your mind.
We are ALREADY footing the bill and have

It has to do with how they bill their customers. nm

every wonder if they still bill the company cpl?

What company were you with that sent this $$$$ bill?

A bill you pay is different than getting paid.
The benefit of the doubt is given in this instance. In this case, the pay date should have been the 5th since the actual pay date is the 7th, then the money should have been there on the 5th. This is a paycheck, not an authorized bill coming out of your account. The work was done, and the pay should have been there. My company always pays ahead of time if the pay date falls on a weekend day. It's a matter of courtesy. 
phone bill
Vonage is reasonable and offers a plan with unlimited long distance. I have had it for about 6 months and am happy with it. They also offer the option of paying yearly where you can save even more money.
Sure, and pass the bill on...
to who exactly? The consumer? The American people who are already being ripped off when it comes to healthcare? Some of you just want more and more and more, but you have no clue as to where this mystery money will come from.
You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
ICs should foot the bill, not employees.
Are these people employed at Keystrokes or are they contracted MTs paying for long distance and equipment? Ehhh? 
Do you have employees or do you have ICs? I see a difference there whether you are transcribing in an RV or an office, still the same should apply. If an MT is classified as an employee, the employer should provide equipment free of charge and pay any and all expense incurred while that person is employed. IC is a whole different ball of wax. 
You'd do better to bill by the audio minute; I'd bill $0.75 per minute of audio.

Can anyone tell me what a "standard MT" is. Bill Baker is SM
looking for them and since I live in the southeast too, I want to know what that is.
Here is a petition to sign for HR 427, a bill regarding
that very thing. Please forward it to everyone you know as well:

Re: The Calif. bill: The "Governator" shot it down. (no msg)

I didn't get the letter, just a $600 phone bill.
Their unlimited is only 5,000 minutes and you can use that is 2 weeks or less. You need to use a service like Vonage. Comcast and Time Warner cable also have digital phone service. It uses your regular phone wiring, they just attach something on the outside of your house and you use a modem and it is truly unlimited long distance.
If you want to keep your home phone it takes about 2 weeks to get the service. If you want to keep your home phone and just add a new line they should be able to do it in just a couple of days. I have mine through Time Warner and it is $34.95/mo because I also have my cable internt through them. Vonage is cheaper, I think $24.95/mo.
I've only had my service about 3 weeks, but the sound is very good and I've had no problems using it wtih my C-phone. I wanted to keep my same number, but didn't want to add another phone line to keep costs down. I have call waiting but can't get it to work with the C-phone so I got voice mail for an additional $4/mo so I can still get messages even if I'm working.
Mark bill and envelope "CONFIDENTIAL,"
address to doctor personally with a handwritten note attached to your bill stating, Will you please have someone take care of this? This happened to me. The office manager was embezzling funds which he knew nothing about it until I brought my bill to his attention. My bill has been paid immediately in the 15+ years since then. Good luck.
ask your senators and representatives to support this bill
One thing you can do is contact your senators and representatives and encourage them to vote for the following bill:
S. 810/H.R. 1653
Clinton (D-NY)/Markey (D-MA)
Prohibits American businesses and health care organizations from sharing consumers’ personal information with foreign affiliates or subcontractors without consent from consumers. Allows consumers to “opt out” of having their personal information processed overseas and bars companies from denying service or charging consumers more as a result.

company-paid phone bill?? sm
Crazy question, have high speed internet and AOL for my mail. I do not have unlimited long distance. Is there any company for whom you would not run up a huge phone charge, could not do that! Crazy question, I know - but doesn't hurt to ask.
No, but one place would do it after we sent a copy of the bill with our invoice, or mailed it
s
Big facilities contract out MT through administration. Drs have no say, they dont pay the bill.
:+
Wow .. thanks for letting me know. They bill themselves as a small, caring company. sm
The pay isn't much, but I was just going to use it to supplement my income while work is light at my regular job. So much for caring ... who needs their pitifully low offerings anyway? Bah humbug ... LOL
paid by direct deposit on time, and you submit the bill nm

I can handle micromanage and cherries, but its the bill collectors I want to stay away
You see, to me it is more than worrying about micromanaging and cherry picking. I have been in the biz long enough to develop a rough skin. It is when I do not have enough money to pay the rent or car which bothers me. So, I take the shift least wanted b/c there will be work there, I allow micromanaging and say I will do better next time, and I learn all the toughest ESLs without complaint. You see, no one can control another person, and one should know no job is perfect out there. The only thing a person can and should do is mature-up, quit whining, and get to work so the roof stays overhead, the pantry has milk and bread and the car is still outside. Of course, that is my 2.5 cents.
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
I meant billing process, not bill paying process.. sorry! nm
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
To Before You Read This
Girl... you are absolutely right on target and now even after I read your comments, I never knew OSi outsourced. That to me is a SLAP in the face. And you are right about the promotions. I have applied for different jobs and told they were already taken. when they have a job available, they KNOW ahead of time who they are going to hire. and you are right about the "welcoming thing, saying welcome so and so, when we didn't know there was a job available Now that I know they ship work overseas, I am totally OUTTA here. And you are right again, you are NOT paid extra fo holidays, weekends, or shift differentials.
OSI........LOL....... read on.....
OSi will promise you the world if they want you bad enough. Then once they get you, the promises are null and void. I see where they are finally following through on their annual raises that they promised years ago that no one ever got....and FINALLY, a holiday incentive? Wow, they must really be desperate.......I worked for OSi for many years, gave them my all and got nothing in return except heartache in the end.........do what you want, but just be looking over your shoulder every inch of the way and get EVERYTHING in writing!
Don't believe everything you read. sm
Most are staying with MQ.
Did you read where it said
39 hour 7 day work week?? Does this mean we are being forced to work weekends? I only browsed through mine.
Don't believe all you read....
I had never even heard of MTStars when I was looking for my first at-home MT job. I would have never accepted the position I currently hold. Every time someone tries to encourage others to apply at "my company" the negative banter that follows only does more harm than good. Just wanted all to know you can't believe even half of what you read on here. Mostly just ex-employees of wonderful companies that couldn't quite make the cut.
Sorry, that should read SM above
nm
I can't read it.
In fact, I can't read any posts regarding Transcend. First time I heard of Yahoo even having a message board about them. If you can still access it, could you please copy and paste it and email it to me? I'm very interested in this, concerning the constant turnover & turmoil with that company. Thanks. 
I cant read it either. NM
aaa
Read above! Read below. Just read!
nm
Please read....
This topic has come up before and this concerns me as well. I saved a post I did on this board a while back. It's edited a little but the message is the same. Here it is.
I've worked in many pathology departments, referral labs, and the like. And I'm here to tell you that there isn't a single pathologist that I have met that is willing to go with VR let alone outsource their dictation. NOTHING will convince me otherwise. As for radiology, I am seeing too much of it being outsourced to ever believe it will go totally VR. Besides, VR is an absolute joke! Y'know that old phrase? Garbage in/Garbage out? Well, there are many docs who have already found out that's just how VR works. Just TRY, and I mean just TRY and take out the human element out of the picture (meaning the transcriptionist) and you will have reports coming back that are even worse than what is coming back from India!!!!! A question here....a very serious one......don't you think that if VR was more effective in transcribing reports that all the companies outsourcing overseas would go with VR before they did that? Something to think about. I've been around since 1990 in this field and they have been saying that VR was going to replace transcriptionists back then. Well, here we are 15 years later and quite frankly, VR hasn't even made it past first base yet. The doctors, the naysayers if you will, the big companies, etc. will be trying to find anyway they can to save money, cut costs and so on and the bottom line is, it will NEVER HAPPEN. The Transcriptionist is here to stay. There is absolutely no way you can take the human element out of this picture and have the absolute best quality reports/charts/medical information system on the planet....PERIOD.
Read MSG
Thank you for noticing!! Yes I made typos.. there are LOTS of MTs that make typos on here. As long as Im not doing it on my accounts I don't really care. I DO make this much on ONE account. I charge 12 cpl GROSS. I do have one Transcriptionist who make about 15000/year, so yes deduct this off the 60,000. This is also PRETAX. I really should not have to explain myself. I knew I would get some posts like the ones I got. I will laugh all the way to the bank with my nice FAT checks, while these negative people struggle at their low paying jobs. :)
Happy New Year!!
You do not know how to read do you?
Who said I still worked there?? I specifically said the entire year I worked there. As in PAST TENSE!!!
