When I was an inhouse MT, I used to use -
the 'flu', rather than go into detail about whatever personal issue was causing me to need a short-notice day off. After all, everyone knows what the flu is, and how contagious it is, and they don't want you to give it to THEM.
inhouse MT
I would take it. I have been working 25 years at my inhouse job and only getting $14 so that sounds pretty good starting out.
Perhaps you need to work inhouse somewhere sm
there is communication and lots of it, or quite possibly, none at all. Like when the mangager closes the door to avoid avoid the staff, or doesn't return your voice mails or, better yet, takes a 3 week vacation just when the staff's tempers are burning hot over one issue or another. How about this scenario? You go in to talk with her about an issue you have and the next thing you know, it's all over the office and you are the one at fault? Or, how is this for communication (*&()^&^%&&$-get my drift? My manager was like that with 1/2 of her office staff. Quite a witch-which is why I left. She is still there turning over MTs left and right because of her communication policy. TT is not like that in my books. TT responds to my emails nearly every time. They don't respond to my calls because I never feel the need to call.
When I was inhouse the rad docs liked it
And at that hospital those same docs were pushing for VR. Most of 'em liked to goof off for hours wandering the halls telling jokes, then wanted to read like mad when our MT staff was down to a couple night people, and whine that we didn't get it all typed for them to sign off before they went home. So I think its fitting its going to bite them in the butt.
This was years ago, inhouse-
anyone remember those days? I made $$$$ then and surely did not want to lose that job so I was an employee, still got the days off planned as per her but had to take without pay. I would have never quit that job just on something like that, too much money involved.
I did go home from an inhouse MT service
5 years ago where there was no flexibility whatsover, we worked every stinking weekend if we got hired for that shift and after 5 years of weekend and holidays they told me it would always be that way for me. Now with this company 6+ years I am going to be forced to work my holidays again? Just for insurance? Blood money I say. There is no flexibility in this new play either. Why are we home then? I would rather be in house, at least when I walk out I am done with it.
There are quite a few hospitals in NY that are hiring inhouse and
also at home. What part of NY do you plan on moving to?
AIDI in DE also hires inhouse
Plus they have transcriptionists who work at home just like Christiana Hospital. Both are in Delaware
Working inhouse for hospital, sm
There's 2 of us for 25 staff MTs plus monitoring the outsource vendor. We're both paid salary. Works out pretty well for my budget. Living in Florida, salary range for our jobs I believe is $35K to $39K annually.
I worked for a national company previously, we were paid on production, at about 4 cents per line. It was a horrible way to make a paycheck. Would never go back to that.
You are correct - inhouse pays much more
But when comparing MTSO's its often better to accept a little less for a quality company, less badgering, better dictators in return.
Does anyone using these boards work inhouse? - sm
 And if so, where did you search for the job? I've noticed that on the job boards here, it's not only all national companies, but also pretty much the same ones, too. And of course the pay scale is the same old crumbs, as well. Is there any one place that hospitals and clinics go to recruit for experienced MTs, or do you just have to slog through the job-lists on each separate institution's website? There are a few where I'd post my resume tonight if I could, just so they could have it on file, but frequently you can't do that unless they're actively recruiting. Anyway, for me 2008 is hopefully going to mean finding gainful employment again, and any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated!
It's common policy. If you want pay, go inhouse or
Usually, you get holiday differential if you work a holiday but workers paid piecemeal production don't get hourly compensation for work not produced, unless it is their own earned PTO.
That is true. If the hospital has inhouse
people, then they have first priority on work. If they can do it, then the hospital will not make it available.
Anyone here work inhouse at Stanford University? - sm
Or know someone who does? If so, any comments, pro or con, about working there? I'm moving to that area soon, and was wondering if they're hiring.
guess again, i'm inhouse and my sup would rather send out work to the agency
yep, to meet the TAT she will send it out, even if it means no work for the real hospital employees.
I'd love to be back inhouse, paid hourly, and
a bad dictator or a report that's interesting, but slow to do. I'm tired of never having money for food, gas, clothes, fun, or anything else. I'm tired of no holidays off, and having to work a 12-hour day to make the minimum line count. And no, I NEVER get overtime, cuz they don't pay it. I think the hospitals should not only first give work to it's HOME BASED employees, but I think they should hire more, instead of farming it out to god-knows-where all over the world.
When I MT'd inhouse in a hospital medical records dept.,
the hourly pay was around $9/hr. I had plenty of experience too. The lady there who had about 25 years of experience made around $12/hr.... I have no idea why it was so low. That's why I ended up working for a service at home. As low as VR pays, that $9-$12 is starting to sound good though. What a shame this profession is.
When I worked inhouse, we used Chartscript, now that I work from home for a different company, we
use Docuscribe. In my experience, my line counts were much higher with Chartscript, but I think any program can be told to count lines a certain way, such as weighted lines with Chartscript for difficult dictators, which made your line count higher.
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm

We could check our line counts up-to-the-minute with CTRL I inhouse n/m
b
The hospital I work has no intention of outsourcing...physicians and administrators want inhouse tra
and Medquist hasn't bothered us at all. Our reps are still the same personable guys they have always been.
If anyone works inhouse in the Atlanta area, pls see question on Main Board. Thanks. nm
Also do they have IC positions?
tia too
Both positions are for...
large teaching facilities with many different types of reports. The test reports I did included a chest x-ray, mammogram, MRI, CAT scan, and a few interventional procedures. So I'm thinking maybe the gross line method would be best?
Positions..
Would anyone know where to find MT management-type job openings on the internet? Have been searching with no luck. TIA!
IC positions
Can anyone tell me which companies still hire ICs. TIA!
Is there an ad for MT positions somewhere? sm
I don't see an ad here. Please let me know.
No, they are actually 2 different positions
You are the 24-hour PT fixed schedule.
For MTs who want to work 20 hours and under, they work when they are needed or something like that. It's in the other posts.
good luck with MQ
IC positions
Does anyone know of any IC jobs that allow you to work the hours you want, with just a weekly line requirement?
MDI positions
Keep checking back with them on your resume, and if nothing pans out try again in a few months. I imagine they have been flooded with resumes this week from MQers. They are usually pretty good about not overhiring and keeping the accounts staffed adequately so it all stays in TAT but people have enough work.
PT Positions
Hi - I currently work part-time for a company that is consistently running out of work (a bunch of you can probably guess which one). I am looking for somewhere where I can put in about 10 hours weekly to supplement. Can anyone recommend anywhere that would hire for such limited hours? I do not want to leave my current company just yet - only been there a year.....but do want something permanent and steady.
QA positions
This is possibly a stupid question but how do you get a job in QA? I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 24 years and would love to do some QA work. Can anyone give me some insight into this? THANKS!
QA positions
Thanks so much Heather! That is exactly what I am going to try doing as well.
What's with all the IC positions I'm seeing lately?
It was just a matter of a few years ago that the IRS was stomping on just about any MTSO that used what I will call (for want of a better term) the IC dodge to get out of withholding taxes, paying their share of SS, unemployment insurance premiums, etc., etc.
At the time, the IRS published a list of something like 20 questions or criteria that had to be met for an individual to truly be considered an independent contractor - and none of the MTSOs they audited met the criteria. I was personally involved with a company that was declared in violation and it cost them plenty. I also heard about a number of others that were similarly penalized.
For the most part, this IC thing is just what I called it above - a DODGE. In almost every sense, in most cases, the individual is an EMPLOYEE. One of the criteria, for instance, included the degree of control over HOW the work was to be done, WHEN the individual had to work, etc. and it's almost impossible for an MTSO not to exercise more control than the IRS likes to see.
One explanation could be that the IRS is concentrating on other industries right now. They're so short-handed in their auditing division that they have to prioritize what they go after each year. Maybe they thought they had cleaned this up and moved on. If so, they should come back and take another look, because this is starting to rear its ugly head again.

DTS America Brentwood TN has at home positions awesome management group there.
eliminated positions
Well.... I'm not sure which account you are talking about, but what actually took place was this.... for each of the .. I think 3 accounts there was a day and an evening lead MT. On the acct I worked on there was also a night lead .. though I'm not sure about the others. What they did was tell the leads that their positions were eliminated and actually created new positions, positions which were lead positions, both covering 3 accounts instead of one... plus they are required to type 600 lines on their shift... which basically means they will be of no support to the MTs.. which I felt was the most important part of my job. You will not find anything which violates labor laws in this.... As far as integrity in a company that would do that to their employees.. that is different story. Now.. what you might learn by reading through the facts on this site...
http://www.dol.gov/elaws/
is that these people seriously violate the labor laws when it comes to the amount of work-related hours their MTs put in which they are not paid for.... now THERE is something that cannot be denied. Please tell whichever lead it is ... that I know how she is feeling.. and it shouldn't be allowed... but then..firing an employee after 28 years of working in the same hospital for fabricated reasons after you find out she knows you have been playing doctor with one of the married physicians on staff... and are afraid she might tell... well that isn't right either.. but .. it still happens all the time...the only and very best thing we can do ... is swear to be better people than those who are willing to screw the rest of us to get ahead....
Editor positions
I would be interested in becoming an Editor ... I have been an MT for 25+ years and would welcome $14.00 an hour. Please send email.. thanks
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know
nm
How about QA positions? May be interested.
Went on website and looks like you can only apply for MT. ?
Hospital positions
The hospitals themselves have rules that they only hire from certain states. I have never really gotten a definite answer as to why, but I believe it has to do with the state tax withholding and they are only compatible with certain states. I work for one of these hospitals, but I could not work for the other one because of the state I live in.
It's too bad they put you through all of that without checking first. It should be one of the first things the recruiter checks for a hospital position I would think. There is more than one hospital, so make sure you don't qualify for any of the other ones.
do they offer QA positions?

All IC positions and they do offer
positions are all full

MD-IT psych positions
Has anyone interviewed with and heard from MD-IT regarding their psych positions? I interviewed last week and still have not heard anything...
psych positions
Can someone tell me who MD-IT is? website? Thanks.
They were only hiring for 5 positions
I know that the recruiter was overwhelmed with the amount of resumes she received. However, I do know that they go through the resumes and keep the qualified MTs on file for the next time they hire.
The ones accepting these positions must be SM
newbies, cause I can't believe an MT with much experience would put up with it.
QC editing positions??
I am currently with Focus and have been given the choice of quitting or working a fixed shift for productivity. I now work for productivity and at least can make up for it later if I have equipment issues or no work. Know of any good ON-SHORE companies to work for?
QC Editing positions?
I also have been given only a few days, so I am putting out resumes and finding out if my #1 job has extra hours to give me (I'm only part time with my first job.) I've gotten a response from one company today.
Re Focus: I also have issues with how Focus they change their productivity sheets every few months and how they change their line count calculation back and forth whenever it suits them. The new line count calculation produces much less and when using so much time with that very cumbersome auditing software program, I figure I am lucky to bring in $12 an hour any more when I used to average over 20/hr during my 2nd month with Focus.
