they run out of work constantly.......communication between management and typists is not good.....worked there for years and even though the company does have its good points, they just laid off a bunch of people and the stability is not there.....save yourself the aggravation.......

ADHI turned their backs on us 4 years ago.  I am not a member, nor are any of the other Initiative Volunteers - ADHI supports offshore, VR, EMR, and they threw us under the bus - they are run by MTSO's and administrators - NOT MTS.

We have made it quite clear to them this week that we will be a completely separate entity, will not accept support in the form of monies, materials or advice, and that MTs ONLY will vote for our choices, goals and boundaries.

USMLSU will not discriminate against MTs who are AHDI members currently, however, we would ask that they become completely informed about who and what AHDI stands for at this time.  It's not your momma's AAMT.

All of our office space, equipment, and supplies are donated by non-biased, non-medical companies, office equipment suppliers who are quite accustomed to working with union personnel (shippers, etc.), and they are not intimidated by solidarity.

IMO, is next to nil.  They are not who decides that certification is a requirement.  The industry would have to be on board with that.  Since the MT industry can't agree on what a line is, what an MT is, how payment should be rendered, etc, and since it's heavily impacted by the dollar, it's not likely that you will see mandatory certification any time soon.

Health Information Technology positions will often request certification by AHIMA.  It has taken AHIMA a long time to get where they are and ADHI is still years behind.

I have another profession and yes, for the most part, all fees including continuing education, as well as certifications fall to me.  There are some employers who will reimburse or pay up front, however.

Look at how many ads REQUIRE CMT.  And ask the question, who has not been hired because they didn't have it.

IMO, certification of offshore personnel is going to be designed to placate possible purchasers of those services by certifying legitimacy.  You are more likely to find offshore certification required well before you see it here. (Which is unfortunate because there are many US MTs whose skills are severely lacking just as much as some offshore MTs.)

There is a certain company out of Sarasota who will advertise on the other board initals are PS  -- good company in the fact that MT week GIFT and during XMAS gift, however SMALL.  However, what I learned, is that if you question they will scr** with you.  Example  -- I did 35 reports for this particular company  -- out of those 35 reports it was 535 lines -- YEP -- and no, I'm not lying -- automatic line count  -- starred with another company recently 35 reports equaled 2100 lines --- HMM what is WRONG here?  I called company A today got the run around and after SIX emails --NO response I was terminated  -- I really DON'T give a hoot or holler and as an IC  they cant terminate me  -- I just want to forewarn and forearm that there are companies out there like that

I'm willing to bet we'll be seeing a lot more terminations with this new Impact thing.

MQ is concerned when it comes to covering yourself and what you THINK you have when you work for them.  You can be in for a rude awakening and you are left holding the notorious bag.

They are reporting we are in a cycle now and it will last a few years, so we should anticipate this kind of storm activity next year and the next.  These kinds of horrific storms have been here before so it is not all "global warming" so they say.  It is a cycle.

From 1900s to 1950s we had storms with 180 mph winds etc so we are in for a mess of them it looks like.  Good luck to you too.  I'm leaving national work as an income, maybe a PT but will never depend on it ever again at home. 

Mary Gleason, Digital Transcription. Do not work for, sole proprietor.  Will let you work 2 weeks and stiff on pay, owed over $200. 

The company that posted here a short time ago asking for PT/overflow podiatry work, COMPLETE transcription out of Texas, with the owner named Joanna.  I worked for her earlier in the year.  Got paid for the first month, but still 2 MONTHS later have yet to be paid for the other 2 weeks I worked.  Had emailed about it and was told she hadn't gotten an invoice, which she had.  I emailed the invoice AGAIN.  Still no check.  Emailed her yet again and have yet to recieve any response. 

Just wanted to give warning if you are working or considering working for this person.  Maybe this is a one-time issue, but I thought I'd pass the information along just in case.  I'd hate for anyone else to be stuck high and dry with bills to pay and no check in sight. 

By SIT transcription, this woman with the initials of AJ.  She also calls her company A.J. Transcription AND SIT (Southern Illinois Transcription)  You get NO account information, she refuses to tell you the name of the client/hospital/clinic....she does NOT want the MTs communicating and she is a witch to work for.  These accounts are NOT her accounts.  She contracts the work from various companies and she is not truthful about the line rate.  She will quote you one rate, put it in the contract, then pay you a totally lower line rate.
