On accounts they are losing, one isn't a large hospital in LA? (sm
I figured if they ever lost this one we would be notified in advance. (or at least hoped) This one they got when they bought YOG out, large, large facility. E-mail if you wish.
Today is the last day for a large hospital on the East Coast.
No doubt about it.
It's no rumor there is not enough work. That is a fact.
Transtech losing large account
Anyone know where it's going?
Transtech losing large account
I'm scared to say. But big.
Transtech losing large account
No, it's a chain of clinics.
Transtech losing large account
I think if you haven't been notified already, then it's not your account. You're safe.
Accounts going offshore or VR. They are losing large account SM
because the hospital(s) is going paperless.
I assume they want us all on VR, so they can pay us 2 cpl or whatever they are paying the offshore MTs.
You can ask to be put on a higher level account, however, there is no M-F on the higher level accounts. They want you to work evenings and one weekend day.
You could not be more wrong. Besides, rumor is she sold the company today. nm
Not sure who it was to, but I heard she is somewhere signing papers. Hope not MQ. Shame that a good company is giving in to the $$$.
I know they just got a large hospital account near me.

Is this a large hospital with MANY Hispanic
dictators, probably over 75%? I heard they only had 1 account on DQS, a new one they picked up in August. I am working on that account and would love to switch.
And what large hospital did they lose? (nm)

Had someone tell me they do a teaching hospital with them, if you like large accts. Might want to

Lost job to outsourcing through a large hospital
Just found out my job is over at the end of August. Have worked for MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, ND, for 2 years and they decided to outsource everything. Any great ideas for me?
I worked on a large teaching hospital account and was
frequently out of work. KS didn't have the entire account. I don't know if they had in-house MTs or they used more than one company. You should have a backup account too, though there may be some lag time between getting you a backup as they figure out where they can plug you in. They supposedly are getting several new accounts so surely they should be plenty of work.
Usually the hospital dump a large amount on Friday afternoon. nm

I was paid by the hour to work from home for a large hospital. nm

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
This is a fact and you might as well accept it for what it is -- FACT !
It would be a sevice that uses ExText, such as Keystrokes, and I don't know who else uses it. I would think that Keystrokes is as big or bigger than TT now, however, wouldn't you?
Rumor has it...
Baltimore. Or Colorado. Just rumors, tho. Praying not AMHERST....ugh.
Not just a rumor
It is an absolute fact that they are outsourcing. There was no DD deposit issue just a money issue, another fact. Everyone can take from this what they want, believe or don't, but just remember that when you all are sitting without a paycheck or work, you were warned.
Who's out? What's the rumor?

Rumor - - yes
I am the supervisor of the Transcription Department, and I have only heard rumors! LOL! The administration likes to stick their noses in and make decisions regarding things they no nothing about, and they always mess things up - - TERRIBLY!
They now have our psychotherapists typing their own narrative notes into Ecet, and today they started typing their own treatment plan updates in a program that was just purchased (I knew nothing about it). We now outsource our initial diagnostic assessments to Transcription Connection, Inc. We are still transcribing the doctors narratives and psychiatric assessments. However, I think they will find a way to get these done elsewhere as well. One of the docs told me that in a staffing meeting they were told to make sure they proofed their work well because they were looking to start sending everything to a service, and get rid of in-house.
They do not want to say anything definite to me yet, as they still need the 4 transcriptionists they have (including myself). When they no longer need us, we will be hitting the door I am afraid. I am preparing though. I have been job searching, and I have taken all of my PTO due to surgery, etc. They are not going to take me for anything if I can help it.
I came across by mistake an e-mail path my supervisor sent to TCI, stating that if she was happy with their work they would be getting all of it. I was livid and confronted my supervisor. She lied of course and said that she had to tell the service this to get the line count pricing down. I told her that either way this was very, very unethical, that one of us, either myself or the service, were being lied to.
I am bidding my time. I am not walking out. I am going to ride it out to the end. I want to be able to get unemployment, etc. As I said, I have been with this company for going on 15 years. I have been very dedicated to this company all of these years and they are just going to crap on me. Nothing new in this day and age. Corporate America is out for themselves and no one else. It is all money.
This is probably a rumor about OSI
I am an ex-employee of OSi and did not care for some things there but I believe this is a rumor. This does not sound like something MB would do.
is this a rumor?
nm
It's not rumor...
There are plenty of posters who say they have friends that work at certain companies and offer feedback.
If it takes 3 weeks to get up to par, that's quite a long time.
What I stated above is not false. No one needs to lie about a company. I got an e-mail saying stay away from transportal they are horrible people to work for and load you up after they've sifted through the files all day.
Maybe there are different accounts and different sups or whatever, I'm just passing on what I was told from an MT friend I trust.
The girl told me they've done nothing but hassle her and she only made a little bit of money.
The moderators say to take everything with a grain of salt. Apply away, and then come back and tell us what you think. 
Rumor is they are up for sale
but I have not heard anything more about that.
you said it exactly, rumor. that surrounds KS.

Do not start rumor. (SM)
If you have information, send it to the Administrator or myself and let us verify.
Otherwise, state it is YOUR opinion only.

Rumor? you mean no one has told you yet?

This is rumor. Nothing has been decided yet. sm
We are still getting final numbers from 2 different insurance companies. In the past, we have not qualified for a large group policy at a decent rate because of lack of participation. All of the big insurance companies want 50% of the employees to take the insurance and we did not have that in the past. It does look good this time though. We are hoping that the rates come back low but nothing is definite at this point.
Whoever spread that rumor
I've been paranoid ever since the pay cut rumors post - thanks, rumormonger for spreading needless misery!
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating.
Do you know the definition of RUMOR? Sheesh!
You must be a riot at the laundromat! Yackety Yack! 
Not rumor. I know of 3 accounts the last 3 months. sm
I was on two of them and called the hospitals to ask. The last one might be the last straw for me.
It is not rumor - they are! Some accounts want NO OFFSHORING!
It has become apparent that QT is offshoring; hence, very poor quality and the account has noticed!
Good luck in whatever you do!
No truth to the buyout rumor. It took them 3 wks to get

Transtech rumor mill
Just sending this to help clear TT's name as I love working for them. Big boss just sent out an e-mail clearing up this entire mess. People need to think about the potential damage they do before jumping on this board with mass hysteria with very few facts. They damage TT's reputation and possibly keep other great MTs in the midst of trying to make a balanced decision away from TT because of misinformation.
TT does not outsource nor is anyone taking over the company. Sounds like the new company who will be providing benefits/payroll/insurance sent out the wrong/incorrect material, and as soon as TT mangement realized what was going on, they immediately jumped on the situation. We don't live in a perfect world. People do make mistakes ... which is one of the reasons I love working for TT. If I do make a mistake, they don't me like I am the biggest moron on Earth. They treat me with respect. They understand I am human. When a situation arises like this, why can't we, as a group, treat them with respect until the facts are clarified and not jump to outrageous conclusions. 
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

The rumor I heard was that a person with cancer
worked at MQ and got fired for not meeting line counts due to chemo. Do you think the company would verify?
Stop spreading unsubstantiated rumor.
Either show the document or stop this. I'm going to ask the moderator to look at your post. If you've information to show, put the link up so we can all verify it. Otherwise, stop speculating and causing problems.
But rumor mill has them bought by Spheris,

Webmedx created rumor mill
I am aware of Webmedx acquiring new accounts. And I will attend the meeting so I can hear how Webmedx cares about its employees because they make it what it is. Any my quality is what I say, and I have never missed getting my linecount until recently when there is no work available to do to meet my linecount. I have worked endless hours, overtime, stat calls on unscheduled time. I have contacted my STM and discussed this on several occasions.
I am not posting unreal fears. These are realities. The rumor mill has been created by Webmedx and their lack of communication with their employees.
I highly doubt that. This is obviously a rumor. She is much too busy to bother. nm
nm
I agree. Without facts, you're all just stirring the rumor mill. sm
If you really have concerns, ask someone. Point blank, ask L if there is any need for concern! I truly, truly do not believe QT would ever outsource their work! I have never been happier with QT and I intend to stay, so if you want to leave, go ahead; more work for me!!!
May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.
nn
I am not losing anything as those
do not apply to me.
So after losing all that, what did you do? nm
X
I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
First for hospital, then outsourced still on same hospital work
and believe it or not, the hospital was so much easier. Had worked at the hospital for 11 years before they outsourced and then worked another 3+ years for the company they outsourced to. What a difference! The company had so many rules and regulations you could hardly keep up with them all, thousands of them, on the same account, mind you. The higher ups would not leave you alone, constant IMs about any and all. I have gotten to the age where I do not need all that and walked the other week. Have scheduled testing with another hospital for this month. Hope I make the cut, love the hospital work 1000 times more than a company.
