I hoped it was the same for others. Not so?

I don't know if it is the same on every account for full time.
Mine is 11K lines per payperiod then incentive scale and I get differential for shift and weekends. And yes, they have lost of different insurance plans to choose from, another reason why I picked them. They were the most like a hospital job I could find working for MTSO, since I could find no in-house jobs these days! I am sure you would be happy, good luck!
I just started with Keystrokes full time and am on a Meditech account. sm
I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon. One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc.
Anyone know why OSi (GA) lost big account today? (nm)

WebmedX got the account. I was hired by them today for
the account. I was also told by another company that they had bid on the account themselves and were told by the account that they were not going to renew with QT. This was SEVERAL months ago. Some people have been called about another account that was lost in addition to the big one.
Yep. Loving the new account that started today! Hooray TT!

That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

The account I am on only requires 1200 lpd. Maybe it is that particular account. Ask them if they
have a lower one. Doesn't hurt to ask. I do anywhere between 1200 and 1800 lpd. Sometimes it feels impossible to do 1200, sometimes the 1800 is quick. Depends on the doctors and the day for me. I do average 15,000 per pay period though, which is 1500 a day. Not impossible by any means, and I never go over 40 hours a week. Most weeks, I am closer to 35 hours with lunch breaks and life.
I think it depends on the account. I have one account that pays sm
$2.25 for specials and one that pays $3.50. I was on one previously that did not pay them different at all, but they were all short and mostly PICC line placements.
I worked for a hospital that went to KS and they were not charging extra for the specials. I know what they charged per report, and there was no way they were getting rich on the difference after taxes and all that. I was suprised. I was in on the bid review and the average to charge was between $1.75 and $2.75 per report or 0.13 and 0.15 per line. There were 15 companies that bid on the account, and all were within those ranges.
I went to KS about 6 months after the hospital outsourced to them. When we were displaced, I accepted a different job in the hospital and hated it.
That is not true. It varies from account to account. I have
several internet accounts and on some you do have to input the patient information.
I know the account. It is "hybrid" account that is a version of sm
Meditech that is a cross between Meditech Magic and Client, more like Client than Magic. I have been on it since October now do 1500 lines a day; it took me a week to get up to speed but they really helped me. I only know which one because my lead told me that they are adding 10 people to it because KS is getting the whole thing now, only doing 1/2 before this. I love working for Keystrokes :)
Account wen to speech from almost the beginning of the account --
Don't like ExSpeech at all. Very bulky and cumbersome. Much better editing programs. I prefer to straight transcribe on ExText. Pay drops horrendously. But wave of the future for MT's.
The account I am on is internet only. I think it depends on the account. nm

My main account must have been an overflow account. We would
go several many days of the month where we could not pull work, so we all had to go to secondary accounts and there are very few accounts that could absorb the extra people.
Our account is an acute care account
We are low on work too and have been for almost 2 months. We know what is happening to our work though as our supervisor admitted that the work is going overseas. Even though we have 24-hour TAT and we are transcribing reports as they are dictated, they still insist that the work dictated after 7 p.m. has to be sent to the offshore service. It makes no sense to me as we have coverage starting from 6 a.m. and throughout the day. I think it all comes down to bottom line and it doesn't matter if we have work or not because it's cheaper to send it overseas.
ek is full of it.
sorry ek but you have been outed.
you are full of it
nm
OMG but you are full of yourself! sm
You know, we really want to be behind you cos I'm sure all of us would HATE to be in your friend's shoes, but you sure are alienating all of us with the way you respond to us.
Please remember where your anger should be directed -- toward the guilty party, not US.
And telling us what to post is really over the top. (Support the post or don't write anything please.) This is a public forum and we are all entitled to our own opinions, and just because you said to not comment on how the situation got to where it is now does NOT mean that we have to comply. If someone is curious, they have every right to ask. You may choose not to answer, however.
As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo

Yes, thank you. I didn't have the full name.

JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though

Keystrokes Full
I've interviewed with them, went through the process, only to find they have no openings for what I'm looking for at the moment. I type the big 4 and ER. Think they had clinic available, but not interested......
Full timer here
I work as an Editor for them. The platform couldn't be any simpler, honestly. Good mixture on most of the accounts as far as ESL/other. Growing like crazy!! The bonuses are for real as well. Very nice folks to work for and plenty plenty of work; in fact they are trying to get more MTs on board to be able to stop sending so much out.
Full time
Thanks for the info!
Is that full or part?
No message
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I would rather not give the full name...sm
of the company with the line counting issues, but they are out of Florida and start with an M. There have been several posts lately about them running out of work and a major change in management. Hopefully, that is enough information for you. 
Use full name of owner. nm
I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive. I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall. I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is. Some notes i barely have to edit now. If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+. Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is. I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out. The typing break is great and I absolutely love it. If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me. (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.) 
For full-time
line count is 11,000 per pay period and for PT it is 5000. They're pretty reasonable on QA, not nearly as bad as other companies.
positions are all full
nm
full time
full time pay scale for IC 3000 lines 7.5 cpl, 6000 9 cpl anything above 6000 is 10 cpl.
I actually came full circle...
I'm back working with the same wonderful ladies who hired me back in 2002 when I first moved to Maine. They are just a small local MTSO and they are absolutely the bees knees to work for...I couldn't be happier. Well, I mean, unless I won powerball or something--then the grin would be really hard to smack off my face. 
45K full time.

If and when you do go full time - please keep us
posted. I will be interested to see if it continues to be easily 250 lines per hour. Some companies take the good part timers and lure them into full time just to dump horrible dictators on them. Let us know if this happens to you.
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
Should have said this is a full-time
requirement. Part-time is much less.
wow...you definitely have your hands full...
I have a 2-year-old daughter at home with me while my 9-year-old son is in school...she is fairly good about playing by me, et cetera, so really I think I have it easy as far as she is concerned...but I am most productive while she is napping in the late morning...since yours are so little, I would say waking up before they get up in the morning to work, working during nap times and then possibly later on when their father gets home from work so he can help take them off your hands for a bit...good luck...it is hard work but it can be done...
Want a schedule? Then I want full ...sm
benefits, PTO, insurance .... the works. Because that is what we're giving up as an IC in exchange for the freedom of a flexible schedule.
Sorry, MTSOs... you can't keep having your cake and eating it, too....Need someone glued to their chairs? TOUGH! 
Beg to differ full QA with The T co. SM
The T. will put you on full QA and KEEP YOU THERE (like they say in England, Until her majesty's pleasure becomes known.)
And there is a certain QA queen bee there that loves doing this, bec. it gives her something to do, and let mgmt. justify her job. The MTs will be unfairly be put on QA for usually a minor, demographic issue, that is the client's responsibility in the first place, and which work is UNPAID WORK to begin with. But, MTs will put up with it as long as they allow this kind of treatment.
What is the full link? nm
Thx
Full Circle
Was wondering if anyone has heard of this company or has worked there? Appreciate any info... TIA!
full circle
I have never heard of this company before their post. What puts up a flag to me is I believe this is the same Donna Heusner that worked with Debbie at eTranz that did not like to pay, but PLEASE do your own research to make sure.
Full Circle
Did not mean to sound nasty, just did not want anyone who did not know to confuse one with the other and get eTransPlus in any trouble.
This post is full of it. sm
Does SS fit everyone? No! Does it work for some? Yes! If you want to get paid on time, they do. If you want work? It is there. There are mentors to help you but you can't ignore their phone calls if you need help. Many do unfortunately and therefore it limits what the mentors can do. In my OWN opinion, SS is a good company to work for.
Full time
A lot of foreign docs...
Full of info
I agree with you. I tried to deal with this issue directly with management and my liaison and received absolutely NO response. That is so un-MDI-like that I found it alarming. And I do not think people are indulging in wild speculation; they are trying to analyze a problem that could impact/impacting their lives. (I bet I am not the only one who wonders how mortages can get paid without adequate income.....)
