I lost an acct with MQ, called the hospital and they told me who had the acct. I chose not to go wi

yeah and the MTSO still charging full price for the work
Most physicians/hospitals don't even know they're dictating into VR so still paying full-on transcription prices while the nationals/MTSOs cut the MT's salary in half. Nice huh?
Just lost a big hospital acct who had EMR but went

So, what happened at WMX with the rad acct that was lost

LOL, I have to laugh, as I just lost my acct to Spheris Global (India). nm

This hospital started in July after WX lost another, larger acct.
Currently, the acct is always out of work. Perhaps they will be sending more work WX's way now.
It is not just a slow time....they lost a huge acct and moved many MTs to other accts.......

I work for MTSO and know the hospital acct
I work on is a big one, just do not know how many MTs that on this particular account. When you say you correct only erroneous text I am not really sure what you mean by this. I correct everything I see that is an error so can you explain further as far as erroneous. Do you read the entire report as it goes or ?
Older posts about them have the MTs bouncing from acct to acct and not being able to make

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
So are you charging them since you are using your
your second phone line? What about the wear and tear on your c-phone? No wonder you did not have to pay for anything, you are offering up your very own equipment. I guess they thought that was great and are being super nice. They have someone who is willing to pay their overhead... hello? Good luck though, but it sounds like they found an MT ready to offer up her OWN equipment instead of buying/renting equipment from them. I just do not think that employee status should require any purchases at all. Period. The End. Have a great day!!!  When you work on-site as employee (think of this way), the hospital/facility does not say in the interview bring your own computer would ya'? or bring your own c-phone or bring your own paper, pens, and paperclips.... 
They do it by charging the doc 15-20 cpl, that's how. nm
.
If they are only charging the client
8 CPL, as you state below, then that is sad. They are undercutting and the MT is the one that loses out because they will not get paid as much.The services keep dropping their prices and are only able to do that by paying less out to the MT.
charging sales tax
Does anyone know if you have to charge sales tax in Ohio to the physician offices or if you need a vendor's license to do transcription in Ohio? Can't seem to get a straight answer from any Ohio department.
Since uncutting others by charging 10 cpl, they

What about charging a fee (employees)..sm
to rent their equipment, i.e, computer to do MT work as employee?? Doesn't seem fair, and I thought an employer must provide work tools for the employee...not charge fees to rent PCs, foot pedals, etc. to do work.
That 9.9 cpl is what they are charging their clients
I clicked on that link. It's completely an off-shore based company. The 9.9 cents is what they are charging the health care providers. That's only possible if they are paying 1 to 2 cpl for the workers.
Charging to use their software
Does anyone know why a chartscript company would charge to use their software. 15.00 a month, not a huge amount but still why do they charge the MT? Have never had anyone do this before...
Charging for software
Yes I am an IC but this is the first time I have come across someone who charged to use their platform. I have my own foot pedal, computer..In order to get their work done you generally use the software /platform they use without a charge. I have worked in DocQscribe, Meditech, Emdat and others with no fee. Like you said, I guess just because they can or DO!
If they started charging you more so their US
would you still love them then? Or are you just in love with the rock-bottom price hospitals get to pay for MT, knowing full well what's happening most of the reports, and the MTs in America who used to type them?
How much you think these bigwigs are charging the hospitals?
And we get, what, 1/3 of this? 
I am in Kentucky,m never heard of charging

The only accounts you lose in business by charging
No big loss there! It then frees up time and space in the schedule to land a better-paying account. Not only are we selling ourselves short, but the MTSO's are doing the same. They should concentrate less on what their competitors are doing pricewise, and more on producing the best product possible. The rest would take care of itself, and they'd ultimately be better off.
that's true. companies are STILL charging full rates using VR

when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn

RAD ACCT
It is probably true because it is a radiology account.
which acct
which account are you currently working on, or you would say is a bad one. Thanks
What acct
What acct do you work on? If you are on BeyondTxt T mode there is no work. I don't know how you girls who need benefits are paying for them.
acct
Thanks for replying. The problem is I did have my own account and they decided not to pay me for over a month and because I said something about not being paid they took offense. SO what can you do. Its a win-lose situation. Now I just have to hope that the check clears!
KS Onc acct
If you are working on the KS onc acct please email me.
FN New acct
Are we talking about the new acct with the 1 million lines?. What a joke. I'm lucky to do 500 lines a day and that is only by working on 3 different accts. And I found out the new acct will be going to VR, which I don't do. I'm a transcriptionist, not an editor.
KS acct
Do you know which acct you would be working on?
If it were your acct, you would already know.
They don't keep it a secret. One of mine, large hospital on the East Coast, is leaving today. I've known for at least a month. They chose not to renew their contract with us. It happens.
.06 OB acct
I felt the same way, ladies. In fact, I recently went from a .0725 (knocked down from 0.825) GROSS LINE ACCT to a .06 transcription rate acct with HORRIFIC docs - worst I've had since starting ne.arly 23 years ago. I was offered VR (with even worse docs, so basically re-typing it ALL) for .02 cpl.
I guess you can understand why I'm on the job hunt
to lost at sea
Please, please email me. If there has been a mistake, Lee certainly makes up for it. She takes care of people, but with everything going on, I can help.
Not sure about if they have lost a lot
of people or got a lot of accounts, but they do not pay for spaces (at least they did not a few years ago when I worked for them). Very rude QA at that time.
Lost
I was at a lost today on the call, but it was not far into the call before i knew what i was up before it was even said. I have been looking like mad for a new job today. I have loved my job at HIS and now i find myself scared and worried how I am going to support my 3 children and myself.
Most of the companies i have found only take those with 2 or 3 pluse years. I only have 1 year 3 months in wiht HIS.
I too have shead tears today and said a lot of prayers that i find something before the bottom of the basket falls out of me and my kids.
They lost me
And I tell others to save their money. Why should we support the AAMT when the AAMT does not support us? Let them get their money from India and the Philippines.
They lost me
With a little luck, this will be the death blow for AAMT just like it was for the employees at Heartland.
They only lost the
2 accounts but site 120 also had the urgent care clinic work at 121 and 131 that were associated with a part of site 120. Site 120, 121 and 131 had a LOT of work but now it's feast or famine.
there's no 153/154 either. That's 3 lost.
no msg
They lost everybody!
They did lose a TON of people, including almost everybody in management! Since the SPI takeover, they totally stopped caring about their employees and treated them all like second class citizens! I know that was my experience! I am so glad to be out of that place! I make a ton more money with my new company since I get paid for spaces now, which I did not get paid for at Cymed/SPI!
not really lost
They are owned and run by the Philippines, so they didn't lose anything really. Everything is run out of there now. Boy just try to find out who does what, nobody seems to know anything. It's just awful awful awful. Cymed was headquartered in TN, Spi bought, took over, moved the office, now some chick in Virginia answers the phone with a list of phone numbers but knows nothing or nobody. It's like this huge secret who does what now.
They Lost
DeVenture LOST the case.
I think everyone just was lost on the ...sm
fact that referring to an Asian descent person as Oriental was not PC. I have to admit I honestly didn't know that myself. Learn something new everyday.
