Thinking about applying with Medware. Is work and
nm
Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
Medware's test hold people back from applying.
.
Medware has been a good choice for me
I am on the EXText platform, acute care. They have been a good service to work for, I like my team leader and needed good insurance. Plus, direct deposit is better than waiting on the mail like my old position.
When unsure.... sm
Whenever I test and am not sure about something like that I put a few asterisks at the end of the report and write a note explaining what I have done and the rationale. That way at least they know, if it's not the way they want it, that I gave it thought and did not just blatantly make a mistake. It always seems to work because I get positive responses back, that they appreciated my pointing this out to them -- never penalized for this.
Unsure this is about VTS or not..
Maybe someone else will speak up. I just wasn't aware of any companies starting witha a V until I saw these posts. http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/76323.html
Nothing snitty or helium-ish, just saying that's what I do and unsure why others don't do it
that way. I mean, you DO see the words on your screen. So why look at them again? If I were typing from copy, I could see where you would have to proof. But when they are rolling off your fingertips as you are typing, why not proof then? Added my stats to show it can be done. 
I concur. If the MR is not provided, and you are unsure you are
transcribing on the correct patient because patient's name/and or DOB were not given or prounced as you have searched, just bypass it.
I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.
They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!
Unsure, need reality check
I don't know how I feel, I guess numb. So, looking for feedback on how this job is going for me. In the biz a long time:
1. Got cleared from training quickly. 2. Immediately got all the most difficult jobs, did not complain. 3. Decided to stick it out day after day. Though never ran out of work. No feedback. No nothing. Figured no news is good news. 4. Still got the worst work. Noticed reports out of order during early shift. Obvious cherry picking going on by other team-members. 5. Decided I must be wrong, my bad... later in day came on early, got good reports, did a few. 6. Came back for shift was actually flagged to type all the worst dictators, as they are marked with red that they were assigned. Started to get a bit paranoid. 7. Came on today cherry picker gone, all bad work out of TAT, this MT the only one on, typed many reports. Lots without dr. giving demos, etc. Did the best I could. Flagged for QA the ones without demos (although taking a chance as a newbie, because QA blanks are counted against our progress). Decided to still hang in there.Finally got feedback after several weeks from big boss stating this goes to the whole team: bad demos, bad quality, etc. We need to do better (written in stronger words).
Have strong feeling I want to quit after this bad e mail, and after all the bad reports and cherry picking going on. Still have other job. Stomach is in a knot. Is all this worth it? Feedback happily appreciated. 
Hands-On Transcription does the same thing but unsure if they are good or bad...sounds bad though
I was inquring about a job with Hands-On Transcription company. They did not have any website or physical address. They had just posted on here. I had emailed the lady several times. She told me I could purchase a C-phone from her for 399.00, which I do not have any familiarity with a C-phone (never had to use them in my career as of yet). Plus before she sent me the paperwork she wanted my name, phone, address, and SS#..I sent that, out of hesitation, and she has never sent paperwork back. Though she did email me about something else. I am scared now that maybe I should not have given her the information since I could not find anything on the company. So, please be careful. I should have went with my gut instincts....
The Warminster office is now part of the NE Region. Unsure if Warminster will be
staying open. All the accounts have been switched to Amherst, NY. Hard to know who to deal with since the office manager has not been replaced so not the best.
Have you tried applying for
unemployment compensation while looking for a job? It might help to alleviate some of the pressure if you have bills to pay and might prevent you from accepting the wrong job out of desperation.
Good luck to you.
Try applying elsewhere. I have 8 yrs exp. and most

thanks, I was considering applying
:-)
Are you applying
to MD-IT? All I know is I also am looking for info on this company, as they my clinic has outsourced all of our in-house transcription to them. I have an opportunity to work for them, transcribing the same physicians/therapists that I do now. However, they seem to not be too forthcoming with information. I am a little leary to sign on with them, having been in-house for 14 years. It is a little scary to me. I do not want to sign on and then miss the opportunity for unemployment/COBRA for a while and just take a break and move on. I don't know what to do here. Many sleepless nights I'll tell ya that much.
Why are you considering applying to OSI?
?
Won't be applying there.
Why do companies even allow this? It only allows the lazy MTs to make more money, leaving the MTs that will actually do all types of work by all kinds of dictators to struggle to make their line counts. This is why I am currently looking for a new job. I am tired of the cherrypickers on my account who refuse to work the ESL docs. You know what? I don't like them any more than you do, but I still do it. Why? Because it is my job!
Sorry, just makes me so angry! 
applying
I think you might have better luck sending resumes to companies who are NOT posting ads on the Job Seekers board. Looking at the number of hits their ads are getting those companies are probably already getting flooded with resumes.
Applying MT
Because they know we seasoned MTs won't just settle. Too bad we can't organize all MTs to not settle.
applying MT
I believe that transcription companies and owners do not want to pay for real transcription quality and are willing to hire the ones that will accept the 0.3 cents for QA and the 0.7 and up to 0.825 per cpl. Where is the real appreciation for the excellent transcriptionists? It seems that Transcriptionist is viewed more as a money maker.
I saw that and thought about applying.
Sylvan that's never been used, couldn't get it to load onto the computer, and couldn't get a refund for. I wouldn't want to use them again. I noticed using that software is one of the requirements.
I was thinking about applying
I work every sunday now, and I would really like my weekends free. I also don't like the software too much, and I have to pay LD.
Thanks for all the info you gave me. 
Anyone with exp w/ PMT in Kentucky? Am considering applying there. Thanks! nm

Can anyone tell me anything about TTS? I am thinking about applying
Can anyone tell me anything about TTS? I am thinking about applying?
Thank you. I appreciate your reply.
Applying for jobs
Do you tell them how much money you want? Sometimes if you do that they do NOT respond -- you may be asking too much. I have applied for five jobs and have heard from all five.
Just how aggressive should one be in applying (sm)
I have applied/tested for several companies. So far only one has contacted me and, to be honest, they're not my first or second choice. I did email one of the contact persons listed, was told they'd received a large number of resumes and were working through them. Should I be sending followup emails to everyone? Phone calls? At what point does one become an annoyance?
I thought about applying there, but I think 6 cpl
If you go to their website, you see what they charge their clients, so they're making a bundle off of their ICs.
Applying online....
On www.mditrans.net there is a link on the left that says apply online. I don't think there is a link to apply online at the other site, just email/phone numbers if you wish to contact them.
Not Worth Applying With
I tested with them last year and spent a very long time on the test to get it just right, but they never felt the need to even respond to me with good or bad feedback. Just ignored me completely, like you should do them. I feel no response in either direction to an applicant says a lot for a company. Maybe if they read this they will learn some business decent procedures and treat their applicants better.
I was thinking of applying
Do they pay more than 3 cpl for editing? I need to make some money and that's the best offer I've seen so far and it's pitiful from what I've read on the boards.
I am applying for Transtech
What is the report limit until you are released from QA at Transtech? I need to think about how to finagle it with my present job. Is it 5 or 10? Thank you.
It depends on how many others are applying. I think
it took about 2-1/2 days to hear back after testing. Evidently testing goes through a normal QA process, only it is last in line, so it may take a while based on how many others are applying.
applying to spheris
Does anyone know the name of the person in charge of recruiting new applicants, or the one who reviews application for new grads?
I thought about applying to MDI
but I have a friend who works for them and although she loves them and says the people are great, she also says the work is low a lot of time time. (She is on WAV.) She has another source of income so it is no big deal for her. Sadly, I am not in that situation. I am the breadwinner and so needed to go where there was steady work. She did say she loved them, though.
I'm on about the 5th week after applying
I am just now starting to hear back from them. Good luck!
Considering applying at DSG, any comments from MTs
working there right now about how you like it.
Try applying at Smartmed....
The last I knew, they were hiring for a large teaching hospital. The platform is okay but they pay on time and have benefits. But I think they hire first as IC and then you can go to employee status.
What position are you applying for? nm
x
I have been applying for jobs
and I would certainly like to know the name of this employer! I never want to work there.
I absolutely would contact the labor board in the state you live and then notify your supervisor of your intent.
I would type an e-mail to your sup and copy yourself that says your complete side of the story, just like you explained here, and then ask for an explanation as to how they are withholding lines from your paycheck.
Keep all correspondances!!!!!! Also, trying and print the IM if you can!
Applying on job board
When click on job opportunities on job board, do you click Apply underneath the Google ad? It always says I don't have the right to view that page. Just wondering if my resume is getting sent to where I want it to go. Thanks.
Question for those of you applying
Maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was, but I'm not getting a lot of responses on resumes I'm sending out. I've got almost 30 years in the field, I've never taken a test that I didn't ace, but still the responses are few and far between. Is it that they're so overwhelmed by responses that they're hiring from the first 10 emails they get, or are my years of typing literally anything no longer a commodity?
Was thinking about applying at Transcend.
I've heard a lot about VR and the VR platform. Are all their accounts on this?
I was thinking about applying for this company
myself as an SE but I had been reading some bad things about it and got scared off. However, I have read some very good things about MQ too!
Has anyone tried applying for the anatomy transcription?
I wonder how much the pay would be...1 peso per line?
Actually, if someone cannot follow the directions applying, how are we to believe
that they would follow directions at any time?
Not true IMO.. when I was applying for IC less than a year ago
Tested for a few and did excellent, was contacted immediately, told me I did fantastic on the test (and I have over 15 years experience in everything including QA) and was excitedly offered a whopping 9 by the company cheerleaders! And that was with a schedule including a weekend day! So seemingly 9 is very difficult to get. I told them to keep their pom-poms! ;)
Was thinking about applying at Transtech.
Could anyone give me info on if they have orthopedic accounts or what kind of accounts they do have, pay info and how they are to work for. Also do they hire part time employees.
I don't work there, I was thinking about applying. nm
