I don't know if this is going to post in the correct spot, I have never tried to post anything before. Does anyone have any information on Midwest Medical Transcription Services LLC in Wisconsin? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars
/
Whatever that company is, they absolutely do not have access to our resume bank.

I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it

Any info about p.r.n. Transcription? Nothing in the archives. Thanks. :) nm
Go to archives, company pg 87. Pages work

Because in the archives the company rep for TransTech posted about
I saw a post in the archives signed by TransTech Medical Solutions about Heartland buying or selling a company. I just wondered if TransTech was connected to Heartland.
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so. There has been nothing good said about them.
There was a lot of trouble with this company earlier this year - see archives -- Mediscript
How did you find out about them?
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
Midwest did

Midwest
I am originally from the midwest, headed back after 20+ years in Florida. Bought a house 1 year ago and recently sold it for more than double what I paid for it. The housing prices just keep going up, especially in the populated areas, i.e, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach.
Midwest.

Midwest MT is right
Definitely try a local doctor's office or local MTSO. I work as an employee for nephrologists and I don't have to type a minimum number of lines. I type whatever work I have for any given day and when I'm done, I'm done.
midwest here....
and only 3 reports today! Nothing on my accounts at all. This is insane. I have applied to a few other places. I can understand it getting low, but I have to pay bills somehow and this isn't going to work.
Mediscript in Midwest
Any information, good or bad on this company?
I got the same call - F from midwest here.
I just don't understand why they are so concerned that we received that flipping letter, despite the fact that it doesn't really say anything.
They also have a pdf of it on Qnet somewhere. I have messed around with the "rewards" section on Qnet and that HEAT thing seems to be some kind of outsourced help desk. Wonder what that's all about?
Re: Midwest housing
Well, it definitely takes two incomes to live in the Bay Area, unless one person makes $100,000 or more. I think we pay for the weather (voted best in the country, believe it or not) and the ambiance (sp ?). I always say if your family is close-knit, then live near your family if you can, as we do. My husband and I have talked about relocating to Florida and other states, but we would rather deal with earthquakes than hurricanes, tornadoes, and/or snow storms. We'll probably cry a different tune when the next big quake hits!!
Midwest where? Not Michigan, I can tell you that.
new Michigan MTSO ... and I'm just going to have to be moving on ASAP. This particular accent is just about as bad, if not worse, than Eastern European for me. And this is just way too high a percentage for me to deal with.
Danged if I know where you can go to find fewer, but I'm going to be asking about that pointblank from now on, however negatively doing so will impact my job opportunities. I mean more than 25-30% ESLs is just beyond ridiculous, IMO. More power to those of you who can and will do more than that. I'm sure you deserve a lot more than whatever you're being paid.
I am in the Midwest. Which hospital system is this? nm

Anybody else on new TT account (midwest area)
I received some instruction sheets on the new account, but it's only the second acct I've done, and the demographic instructions are much different and I haven't gotten any feedback yet on all the things I'm probably doing wrong. Have e-mailed and no answers yet. Anybody on this acct and have time to answer questions by e-mail? Am I the only clueless one?
Still in honeymoon phase, midwest. You might not
have been at this for a much, much longer time and will be able to help you once you do hit snags in the road. And you will. It is NOT being negative, it's being honest. I do not believe in portraying being an MTSO as the answer to all problems, either, because it's not for everyone. I worked long, LONG days as an MTSO with several clients and couldn't keep subcontractors despite paying well and pretty easy clinic work. I was stressed to the max and had zero time for myself or my family. Negative, you bet! At least it grew to be negative FOR ME, which is why I don't do it anymore. If it works for you, fantastic, but don't act like just because it doesn't work for others that makes them wrong somehow. This is about sharing experiences and everyone has a different one.
I found a great MTSO to work for now, I'm treated well and make as much as I did as an MTSO once I subtract all the free hours I worked, supplies bought, gas spent on errands, etc., etc. I'm a much happier person as a result, plus I actually get to be with my family-and without guilt that I should really be working! Like I and others have stated, it's not all goodness and light.
Not all MTSOs are terrible to work for and not all MTs are cut out to be MTSOs, and that's a fact.
I work at home and I live in the Midwest.
You have to consider the job market and cost of living in your area of the country. I think I'm doing pretty darn good. If I factor in the incentive pay, I'm making around $35 per hour.
to long time MT - the cost of living is about the same as the midwest - sm
you can have rent ranging anywhere from $500-900/month depending on where you live and what you want. It's not expensive like NY or DC or VA. The line rate is ABOVE - A-B-O-V-E 8.5/line and the docs are fairly easy with the exception of a few marblemouths, but I think every hospital has to have a few marblemouths, or it just wouldn't be right. If you are seriously thinking of it and would like to send us a resume, let us know your email and we will contact you!
We posted this because we wanted to know our options - rather than to have an outside service take the overflow.
See post below about noncompliant MTSO - this pretty much sums up Midwest - nm

I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n
do not allow them access..................nm
nm
No DSL access or cable either
where I live. Have satellite access, but hospital will not allow us to use this. For the past 10 years been using dial-up at 28K only, which can be frustrating at times, but I try to hang in there.
My goal is 1400 lines a day (7.5 hour shift), which I accomplish most days, but I do not have any little ones at home.
Hospital installing new web-based system soon, which they say will be much better!
I work for a large corporation with multiple smaller satellite facilities -- I work for one of the smaller facilities. Do you think we work for the same corporation?
I would encourage any experienced MT to work for a national sometime during their career. The experience and wealth of knowledge gained will last a lifetime. It takes an exceptional multi-tasker to be able to transcribe multiple accounts all in a day's work. But, DSL is required by most nationals.
Have you ever worked in a home-based setting?
If not, it takes a lot of discipline to work from home. I also encourage you to keep little ones in day care unless you can arrange to work while they sleep.
I personally am a little on the hyper side, like to move at fast pace and would rather be up working around the house. Warm sunny days are my worst -- love to be outdoors! So, I work in 2- to 4-hour blocks.
Wishing you the very best!
Any info on AMZ access?
They posted on the job boards. Anyone have any info?
Can MT's access old reports?
.
You still have access to history, sm
If you received the memo on Thursday, read the second to last paragraph. You still have access via a different route. Try it.
If you "grant" them access, they can
My experience has been once you let them connect remotely to your computer, they can do whatever they want while they're in there...which is why I don't leave my desk while they're on there- at least in theory, you can see what they're doing. I worked for a company once that did not like their people to use certain programs, so if tech support was on there for one thing, they kinda looked around. In my case, they saw AOL running down at the bottom and promptly disconnected it and uninstalled it. It actually might be harder to know if they're doing a snapshot, but at least you should know exactly what they're looking at.
Need 2 PC, both with internet access
of course that is prob. DSL monthly fees. See there ad
Control I tells me I have no right to access (sm)
Isn't it that way for all? I'm new at this.
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Internet access while traveling
Just to add to the information regarding wireless Internet capabilities at several different hotels, it might benefit you to also check out places such as Panera Bread stores. They are located throughout the country and many of their stores also offer WI-FI free of charge. Also, you may want to consider going online and checking out WI-FI Hotspots. Amazing what kinds of places have wireless these days! (If you're an RV'er, you've really got it made!) Good luck!
How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
I don't get it. QA does not have access to our line counts
you couldn't make line count? From what I was told, only management and support had access to that.
Any other Keystrokers not able to access the intranet again?
It has been having a lot of problems this past week with going down. Has been down all day today.
They aren't that big on quality. We have access to
the past 50 files on a doc so if you have questions or need samples you can pull them up. I'm surprised at the gross errors I see and I'm not even looking for them. I don't know what percentage of the work they QA, but they need to be doing more than they do.
Enterprise Access Problem?
Anyone else using AT&T having trouble logging in to Enterprise to work?
need IC status and can't get high-speed access..sm
I need to find a company that will hire IC and using dial-up (can't get cable or DSL in my area). I have over 20 years experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
