their poor or lack of communication.  Their pay scale is weird, depends on shift, year's experience, CMT, account, etc.   I talked with 2 different people when interviewing, recruiter was not honest with me about the account they wanted to put me on, thankfully team leader was.  I had previously worked on that account with another company and it was a horrible account.   I can't remember if they had more than employee status or if they provide computer, but if you look at their ads on the job boards it should say. 

I was told platform was DocQScribe and also WebCorrect was mentioned.  Never used them so don't know much about them, but I haven't heard good things about either.  Each report had 3 files, 2 of which are not voice files, but supposedly they compensate you 3 (?) lines for each report.   Sounds like a pain to me.  

Are there any companies that provide lots of templates and normals and a good rate per line?   This is my dream job, to find this company!

from main board:

MTStars has been staunchly against the offshoring of American Private Health Information, but realizes that MTStars must evolve with the ever changing views of conducting business in the global economy. The hands of time cannot be turned back on the widespread transfer of information globally and as of January 1, 2006, MTStars opened itself up to include the global environment.

For anyone wanting to keep the work in the USA!!!!!

aren't that expensive and you can find them used on the classifieds here or on e-bay. 

for holidays, but unless you work all day it doesn't add up to much.  My company pays for us to take the day off and then if you work you get your line rate, plus get paid anyway, or you can take another day off in the same pay period. 

Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work?  I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..

Any help would be appreciated.

If not, can we list them here?  I'm tired of getting laid off or not having enough work from companies who're sending work to India. 

If you know of a company that doesn't offshore, it would also be nice if you could say whether or not they require VR.

Thanks in advance to anyone who participates -- we're all in this together!

Notice AlphaBest is on there and she SWEARS she does not  send work to India.  I worked there and i knew she did but she refused to admit it even though it is in writin now.

You have to admit when doctors say stuff they don't necessarily say/spell it right.  It's your job to do so, and that includes producing a readable, understandable report that is uniform with those that are in use in whatever facility it goes to.  If everybody did things their own way imagine what a mish-mosh of things would wind up in a patient's chart, not to  mention there would probably be no end to made-up things or things inserted because it seems to fit.   

I wrote a letter to Hillary Clinton today, and I also wrote one to Mitt Romney.  I am also going to write ANOTHER letter to the Editor as soon as I can compose my thoughts.  Just think, if we ALL did this someone might say, well what's up with all this? and maybe we would eventually see a change.  This didn't happen overnight and it won't change overnight.  And it certainly won't change at all if everybody just sits around and complains.  Strength in numbers, they say, and I'm sure we MTs are a large one. 

And I would type 40, three refills, I believe that's what the BOS says.  I don't see it as particularly rebellious on your part.
