MDI-Maryland has no "employees, only statutory status".
MDI-Fl has employee and IC status, and reimburses full time employees for unlimited long distance plan up to $29.95 a month.
Can anyone tell me if MDI (out of Maryland-IC status)supplies computer?
On their ad they don't state anything about the computer specifics. Do you rent it? Thanks for any info. I am assuming as an IC you would use your own computer but it is odd that there is no info about what you need???
Are there other companies that use SE status and DQS other than MQ.Sounds like MQ has maxed out.
:
sounds like you do not understand different between employee and IC status
and the difference in pay? you say No Way to 7.5 employee but accept 9 for IC...lower employee rate includes Benefits....and $10/hour training is not a Waste of time....cannot compare this to working at Walmart.
Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
Employee status w/benefits vs IC status??? Dilemna enclosed
I am caught between a rock and a hard place and figure this is the place to get the best advice from those in the know. I have been an IC for the past 5 years and love the flexibility but was interested in a job with benefits. I started a new job about a month ago with good pay (2 lph more than I was making) and benefits......very happy with company but as an employee, obviously have a schedule. I am working both jobs currently and starting to burn out. On the new job, I am struggling to get the 1200 lines per day required but on my old.... I can easily get 150-400 lph depending on the dictator but again, it is IC and less lph than the new job. Obviously, the platform is different and not paid for template headers/footers wheras the old one, I am paid for those. Now to my question. Is it just me? Is it because I really enjoyed the freedom of ic status and therfore seem to be struggling? Anyone else experienced this before? Tempted to go back told job and lose benefits/more pay because in the end, maybe it works out be the same pay because of amount of time I spend getting the job done? Not sure if this makes sense but hoping you can all offer some advice!! TIA
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.

Do they supply you with equipment or do you have to use your own. TIA.

MDI-MD is an excellent company...everything from the platform to the pay to the responsiveness of the staff. The accounts are not for beginning MTs, but for anyone with over 5 years experience in most hospital work types the company is a real jewel. Pay is every other Friday. Status is SE, so that self-employment taxes are paid by company. Great flexibility.
MDI-Maryland
I work for MDI and I love my accounts. I have had very few ESL. You are an independent contractor, that is all they hire. I started out at 9.5 cpl. The work on my account is easy. Teaching hospitals are not that different from others no matter what one may think. the account specifics are easy because they are the same on every account they have and the transcription is strictly verbatim. While, I am not that fond of verbatim, because of the docs have bad English skills, it's okay because then you know exactly what the QA is looking for. I did not test for the job. They do not perform audits as most nationals do. You set your own schedule, commit to your own amount of lines per day. It's the best company I have worked for and the people are great. The accounts are from Baltimore... I was leary of ESLs, but I have just about 4 or 5 of them and they are not that bad.
MDI-Maryland
MDI is a good company. however they do not pay extra for working nights,weekends, or holidays and you are expected to work 2 weekend days a month and 2 holidays.

Do any hospitals in Rockville area hire local transcriptionists? TIA
MDI-MARYLAND
I have never received anything positive from an MDI QA person. I asked for some positive feedback and also asked that it would be nice if they had to say something positive. Their response We don't have time for that All it takes is 2 words Nice job or Good job. How hard is that? They spent a lot time telling the negative, very little time telling the positive.
MDI Maryland
Heavy on ESLs but good cpl. Good supervisers and QA is generally good, unless you get on their list, then they're bears. Very, very, very flexible and accommodating. Nice folks.
MDI-Maryland
I've read the forums but cannot seem to find positives or negatives on MDI-Maryland. Seems they are too good to be true. Any comments would be very appreciated.

I saw at the bottom of the page a post by Rhonda concerning MDI and how happy she is there. There are two MDIs, one in Florida and one in Maryland. I work for MDI-Maryland and I LOVE it!! The people are great, the DQA person I had was so wonderful--not harsh, not insultive, not punitive, just very, very helpful! I have been a MT for over 30 years and have worked for a lot of different places, but MDI is home from now on for me. I have never worked for a MT company who puts their employees first like this company does. They also pay very well and all MTs are SE status, which gives me all the flexibility I need. If you want a good MT home, go to MDI-Maryland.
MDI-Maryland does. nm

Does anyone know if this company is currently hiring? I think you are only an IC. Any employees out there with any info? Thank you.
MDI-Maryland
I was just hired along with a friend of mine by MDI-Maryland and just had their training and still am on full QA. I think they are still hiring. They have a lot of work. Status is statutory employee, not fully IC, so they pay half of the taxes.
MDI-Maryland
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

MDI Maryland Pay
Hi - Just started with MDI in Maryland but having trouble making as much as my old job. Can anyone tell me how long it took to get up to speed? Thanks in advance.
MDI Maryland
So far, so good for me. I'm still in training phase but they've been very quick to answer any questions, the platform is a breeze, and the pay isn't bad.
I've got 18 years of acute care experience and am a CMT, so I've seen a lot of mediocre, especially in the last few years. My early opinion - this company is a keeper, no offshoring, flexibility of schedule, excellent communication. Worth trying to get your foot in the door! : )
MDI- Maryland
Anyone working for them as a statutory employee? How are they to work for. Is work plentiful? Anyone working on Lanier account?
MDI Maryland
MDI is a wonderful company to work for. I've been with them on and off for over 5 years - after reviewing a lot of the offers on this site, as well as MT's pros and cons on other companies, I feel blessed to be working for a such a great company!
Good luck!

Good afternoon. I'm looking for a part-time position and would love to apply with this company. Can any current employees tell me where to go to apply? If there's a referral program, please email me. I have 11 years' experience in acute care and ER, all specialities except radiology. I currently work full time and desire part time now.
No, MDI-MD (Maryland)

I have been at MDI-MD for a few years and am happy there. If you are looking for employee status, this isn't your place, but I love the totally flexible schedule, being able to work without someone looking over my shoulder constantly, and the good pay.
MDI in Maryland
Hi. Does anyone work for this company and have any positives/negatives? Thanks in advance!

with good posts (and some not so good lately). and they do NOT send work overseas. I work for them and am very happy with the company. e/m me if you wish.
MRC Maryland?....nm

yes - Maryland nm
yes
MDI-Maryland
What kind of work do they have - is it acute care, clinic, ER, or other? Also, they just hire IC right, no benefits? Is the work done through the Internet or a phone line?
Thanks :)
Yes it was the MDI in Maryland sm
see my post above. I don't know what they told you when they hired you but this is what they are doing now. On top of that when i got the above e-mail I ignored it because I could not accommodate their rules but they called me anyway and I had not tested etc. Im glad you are happy with them but this is not what they are advertising now. Just another conpany trying to get around the rules. As long as MTs accept this kind of treatment it will keep happening.

MDI-Maryland - does anyone know if they are hiring? sm
Sent 2 e-mails to the recruiter but haven't heard back. Don't know if they are inundated with requests or just not interested.

how can I get in touch with MDI Maryland. thx

IPR... Any info. They are out of Maryland. TIA.
Love MDI-Maryland
Good folks. Great QA--consistent, friendly. The pay is good and on time by direct deposit. Work is fairly steady (there was a lull for summer vacations). They do not outsource.
Platform is quick and easy to use (single page). I have a primary and a secondary account, but the specs are clear and not difficult.
I highly recommend this company!

Does anyone have any info on MDI out of Maryland?
I was just looking at their web site, and it looks pretty good, and I see that they have been around for 25+ years. Does anyone have any experience working for this company? I searched the archives before posting this, but nothing came up, which I thought was strange. I might be looking to change companies in the future, and I was just wondering how they are to work for. Any info, both good and bad, would be greatly appreciated!
MDI Maryland question
does it really equal to 9-11 cents even with the unlimited long distance? Does anyone know what the running price is for unlimited long distance? I just use my cell phone for receiving and making calls. TIA
