My LarTech Healthprime review
Posted By: DJ on 2009-03-13
In Reply to:
I have seen some older posts on Lartech Healthprime and I just wanted to give a good update/review on this company as I have 2 years of experience working for them.
Also I just wanted any out-of-work MTs to know that they hired me right out of training (I trained with At-Home Professions) but trust me, they have high standards when it comes to quality and they were patient, gave me a chance and helped me along the way.
My gripes (although this apparently is not LarTech's fault but the hospital account I work for) is that I get paid once a month and sometimes it is later than that, very inconsistent pay :(.
There is only two people I can get a hold of if I have any questions but they don't respond right away which is a downfall since my questions have to do with reports I am currently working on and I don't have time to sit around and lose TAT time waiting for them to get on, all communication is done via Yahoo messenger. They do respond to all E-mails, whether it takes them an hour or a day, they will get back to you.
They also do seem to have a problem with communication, for instance, I have been there for about a year and a half and I was only getting 7 cents standard, 3 cents editing and I asked them for a raise, he came back and said he already gave me a half cent raise and was surprised I didn't get that E-mail.
I know, the pay is super low, but I was out of school for a year looking for a job and nobody would give me a shot but they did and now I have 2 years of experience because of it, it beats the internship I almost chose to do for 6 months right?
Anyways, just wanted to get that info out there for any MT students looking to get their foot in the door, they gave me a chance from a very non-reputable school, why not you!

They are training me this morning to work on thier software as an editor. So far, they seem like very nice, friendly people and very helpful. They seem to be desperate for quality employees. I will let folks know how I make out as I know alot of people are wary of them and I can understand that.

Anyone have any info on this company? Search the archives but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance!
Update on Laratech Healthprime
Well I finally got the software downloaded, they have Dictaphone Nuance Extext. They have a pretty good set up, but they are still refusing to send me a contract and they pay 3.25 cents a line for editing. First they said I was only to do 5 reports a day until they saw the quality of my work, then the gentleman told me that I no longer needed to do 5 reports a day that I could just work and do as many jobs as I wanted, but still he wont send me a contract and now I have been trying to get them on Yahoo IM since yesterday with no answer and they are both signed on as available. Does anyone have anything positive to say aboutr this company? I mean they are really nice people and very helpful, but something does not seem right.
QA review
I have just been there a week, do radiology and was only in QA for one week, today I'm out, 3-hour paid training is $200. I think pay is all dependent on experience and etc. line rate I believe is how many lines you type per hour.
Company review?
What does anyone know about Orion?
Here's a review from last summer.
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/74751.html
A good company will review them
A decent company knows which complaints are true and which are not and will want to weigh the validity of them. Yes, there are some chronic complainers. However, there are also some valid complaints repeatedly discussed here and some downright illegal employment activity complaints also discussed here. Were I an owner of a company, I would certainly WANT to hear feedback from my employees and attempt to come to some kind of reconciliation with them, if possible. If you ask me, this board shows how little communication is going on between employer and employee in this field and how little regard there is for the people who actually produce the work itself.
I posted a review within the past (sm)
week. You should be able to find it if you search a page or two back.
I don't understand - are you still in Focused Review? sm
Error reports - you mean they are sending you feedback for your mistakes? or you are still formally being reviewed?
I work there and have never heard of someone being reviewed for a full couple of weeks.
review typed reports
The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything. Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.
It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.
Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too.
To clarify. I had a quality review
and the recruiter is the one who called me with the results. I was asking specific questions about the review and certain items they couldn't answer. Is this the norm? I've been an MT for a while but have worked mostly for my own accounts. Working for a transcription company is a new experience for me. I just thought it odd that someone could tell me what I was doing wrong but couldn't explain why?
Review of Transcend for Those Trying to Decide...
First, sympathies to all of you at MDI. Been there, experienced it, it's pretty hellish to be involved in a merger on the best of days.
I've been with Transcend for some time now, and these are the points to consider:
The people are nice for the most part. I know that sounds like damning with faint praise, but I do have to say the TLs and upper management aren't asses about taking time off, helping with QA, etc.. when you can find someone to answer your e-mail.
The dictators aren't terrible. The worst ESLs dictate very rarely, so you only have to deal with them every now and then.
The platform is okay. Could be worse, could be better. I don't like it one bit personally, but to each her own.
Now for the other side of things...
There's no work. The jobs come in VERY slowly; it's the norm for me to log in to find maybe ten jobs waiting for an entire shift. I've spent many a shift checking every hour (as per company direction) to find myself wasting hours sitting at my computer surfing the internet. Yes, you can request secondary accounts... only to find yourself staring at another screen with no work on it. If you're willing to work on five to six accounts, you may be able to make the minimum line count, but I watch the numbers on ALL accounts and they're ALL very low on a consistent basis, so this is doubtful.
It's extremely unlikely you'll make the minimum to qualify for insurance or the sign-on bonus (if MDI-ers are being offered this).
Communication is very poor. It's the norm to send multiple e-mails about an issue to get no reply. The TLs and TMs change constantly and you're not informed.
If you don't make the minimum FT line requirements, you'll be sent letters of commitment which are basically written warnings about lack of production. If you inform them that you'd LIKE to make production but there's NO WORK with which to do so, even on your SECONDARY account, the answer is Try to get on another secondary, but for now we need you to sign this letter and return it. Basically, that translates as You're not making minimum because there's no work, but we're still giving you a warning. After this letter of commitment, they will give you one pay period to achieve the 900$ FT rate, then drop you to PT.
I'm making roughly 500$ PPP right now - started out making around 700$ PPP and watched it steadily decline (instead of increase) as the workload shrank.
I'm sticking it out for another couple of months and then I'm off to other pastures.
Hope this helps someone trying to decide about Transcend. Best of luck to you all, wherever you end up.

Wondering. Normal to have your quality review
delivered and discussed with you by the company's recruiter?
Does Webmedx automatically do an annual review process? sm
I recently had my 1-year anniversary and have not heard anything from anyone about a review. I don't know if I should say anything to my STM yet or not.
NJPR is in NJ, not NY, stands for North Jersey Physicians Review I believe,
try googling for a web page, I am quite sure they have one, you can the info and I think a phone number there to call.
Annual performance review criteria--hope it helps!
SC,
Good luck with getting the raise you deserve! I posted a couple days ago regarding my experience with my recent annual review and raise I received. With my company, the annual review is scored with 5 pts being the highest possible to achieve in 6 categories; quality, line requirements, attendance, % to QA, helping out, and communication. They award 1/4 cent/line if you have 4.5+ and 1/2 cent/line with a perfect score of 5/5. They only use the last 6 months of data to calculate total score.
In my experience, e-mails do not work! They are too easily lost and are forwarded to God knows who! Call your immediate supervisor and get their opinion and who to contact with this proposal. Good Luck!

Post below stated a warning about lartech not paying--be careful with this company if this is true.
Lartech
I have read the post below but I wanted to know if anyone has info on this company that works or worked for them.
Thanks
Lartech...sm
They have an office in India and one in Texas. I'm working for them now and have been for about a month. Everyone I have dealt with is very good to work with. The account I am on is very nice, very few ESL, lots of editing (may be a plus for some) and a small amount of standard transcription. Pay is decent, and on time. They don't have DD, but have said they are looking into it so hopefully they will soon. They have incentives for when you get over certain line amounts each pay period, and those amounts are not hard to meet either so can pretty much count on the incentives each paycheck (at least that is my experience).
I'm happy there.
Lartech QA
HI: I have been working for Lartech for over a year now as a QC and I have several MTs working under me who I correspond with on a daily basis and they are all based in US. I simply love working for them-T
Lartech
It is very sad to see people being racist. I have been working with these people for over a year and wish to continue working with them. Yes, they are Indians but my experience with them has been much better off than working for many other non-Indian companies and I have never experienced any discrimination against me or any other person for that matter-T
Lartech pay
Pay is inconsistent and has been changed to once a month. It is demeaning and now we have all been messaged that the checks are going to be even MORE late, it's been 5 weeks since my last check.
Lartech
Interested in discussion with someone who works for Lartech now.
Lartech
I use eScription with Lartech. Would enjoy meeting other ladies who work them as well.
Lartech
Any comments on Lartech????
Try Lartech.
I believe they hire new graduates. They are very nice and good to work for, pay is always on time, it might be a little low (around 6cpl and 3cpl for editing) but it'd be a good place to start.
If you can get a private IC to mentor you that'd be good too.
I took my first job (3 years ago) with a private IC and she paid me 4cpl for a month then 5 cpl after that. I stayed with her for 5 months, made decent money and learned a lot. I was able to go from working for her to a really good, steady job with a nice company. It's worth it to take a lower line rate if you can get the one on one with a mentor.
Best of luck!
Was it with Lartech?
It may bite me in the backside, true, but I have a small business of my own and, although I do not have employees to pay, I know how tight things can get. Personally, I would get a 90-day loan from the bank to pay the MTs until the payment came in from the client. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I see the number of years they have been in business and know that they could not have been in business for any length of time if they were flat out not paying the MTs---which I have found no evidence of.
RE: Lartech
The previous posts I read about Lartech said they do pay on time and it's accurate. I'm in the same boat, waiting for my first check, but this 60-day pay cycle is the client's doing, not Lartech's, so I'm not holding that against them. It is hard to stay motivated, but I really like the account and they have been sincerely appreciative that I'm staying on with them.
My experience exact opposite- Me willing work 6 days, regular sched, 100% QA last review- Company: N
Me: Ready, willing and able to work 6 days a week, regular schedule, 100% QA my last review, on all ESL's doctors.
Companies: No work. All ESL work. All the worst dictators. No work, did I mention that. Don't want to buy new software or any software to help the MT. Ridiculous formatting rules to decrease my line count. Low line count rate. No holiday pay. Have to work holidays.
Your post was way, way out of line. Maybe you work for a great company, SO tell us who it is.
I've tried 10 companies in 10 years, and they were all the same. Pick my brain and make me work hard, hard, hard for ? 150 lines an hour with ALL ESL, poor sound quality, and then don't really want to pay for the 150 lines, want to jiggle and wiggle it down to 120 or less with rules.
Lartech? Anyone here work for them?
I applied just this morning and got a call this evening. They offered me a job without testing. There is a paid trial period where they decide if you can do the work according to what I was told by the recruiter. The pay is not bad, better than I am currently getting at any rate, and I was assured after the trial period it can/will go up.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with this company. It seemed a bit odd to me that I would get hired without testing, but I'm new to the industry so maybe it isn't that uncommon (just under a year working as an MT).
Thanks for any opinions or advice!
lartech warning...
NONPAYER ALERT HERE!!
Lartech is in TX but I think is mainly Indian run.
and very much slave labor pay.
Lartech, Transcend...
I also believe Transtech and E-Transcription do but I'm not 100% on that.
Anyone with information on Lartech?
I'm not finding any info on them and they have offered me a QA job. They say they do not outsource to India, so I'm just trying to confirm this, and that they pay on time. Thanks for any help!
Lartech--not paying
I've transcribed for 6 years. I worked Lartech for two months and never saw any pay. The owner keeps saying he didn't receive his pay. Now no communication at all about it. I quit since I can't afford to work for free. He owes me at least $1000. Nice people, but no pay. Do hospitals really not pay? Any way I can find out?

Info on Lartech and Nightingale?
Any info good or bad would be appreciated!!!!!
LARTECH....anyone ever hear of them? Please read....
I am not sure, but I think they may be from India, but working in this country. I think the company is in Houston, or is it? Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks.
LarTech line rate?
I forgot to ask before we hung up. Anyone know what the line rate is for their eScription?
Pretty sure lartech is india..not sure about other one...nm
x
Lartech has been talked about recently, check
the archives. I believe it is a 100% Indian company.
LARTECH, waiting 2 months for a check?
Is anybody out there getting paid at least 60 days out from Lartech? Waiting 2 months for a check? Is this crazy? I am having a hard time staying motivated to work because I know I will not see any money for months.
