you and I are probably 2 golden oldies, right? I love these years, so far, so good.

My children are insured by their father and I purchase my
insurance. For vacations, I work an extra day a week for a twice a month for a couple months going into the month of my vacation. As for holidays, I usually work them. I look at it as being blessed enough to have a job at home where I can be with my girls and so if my usual days off happen to fall on the holiday, I usually volunteer to work 1/2 day, usually in the evening of the holiday so I can have the day with my girls and I work after they are in bed. Hope this helps!
My child is insured by her father, but I do not have insurance
and as far as work availability. I have worked for about 4 different companies in the last year. Things start off well, plenty of work, and then all of a sudden the work dries up. Currently, I have 3 backup accounts, and yet still out of work. Tired of hearing about slow downs. When I worked directly for hospital, both while I was in-house and at home, we had slow downs. They lasted a day or two at specific times of the year. We could use our PTO to take time off. With these companies, there is no backup for no work...no work = no pay. I cannot depend on my income at all since losing my hospital job. I have not made anywhere close to what I used to make and Im just totally frustrated. The economy of the state I live in is such right now that jobs are few and far between and the unemployment rate is very high right now. Feel like I am running out of options.
Born in the USA
My own physician is not U.S.-born (Indonesia) but has told me he feels if one is to be an American (which he now is) then once must have some commitment and loyalty to America. He thinks the off-shoring is horrible, is angered about the way U.S. MTs are treated in general, refuses to allow his work to be sent out of the U.S., and tells me he thinks the stress of MT is causing me health problems and not enough exercise. LOL
Now THAT is a patriot.
:) LOL...well, I was born in CT and lived in OR most
of my life, so I'm a yankee through and through! I lived in SC for 2 years, though, when I was in the Navy, but that's my only southern accent experience. Funnily enough, my first-born son had a southern accent for his first couple years. (He was born in South Carolina.) He would crack me up by saying, I doun't wanna go ta baaayed! I doun't wanna take a naaaayap! Where's my Batmaaayan? I wanna go ta MACdonaud's! :) :)

I was born and raised outside of Philly...sm
all my family is still there. Live in Oregon now, but would go back in a heartbeat! Nothing like being close to New York, AC, Washington DC, not to mention all the great food in Philly and the wonderful WaWa! Mmmm, TastyKakes and cheese steaks!
Born yesterday, nope and not everyone knows
what Toth is as per the person asking above in this thread. I work as independent, I work certain days and certain hours and if I run out of work I don’t have to make up and just do whatever I want for the rest of that day. I am not a slave to my computer, my home, my employer, no one. You gotta first grow a backbone and do what ever is necessary in order to try to retrieve your pay.
Originally from Waterford, born in sm
Pontiac. Now live in NC. My sister still is in Highland, other relatives/friends, White Lake, Novi, Waterford, Pontiac, Clarkston, etc, all over Oakland County. Actually am going up on October 10 for 2 weeks.
Good for you; you're a natural born MT and I wish you well. nm

Christmas is a holiday because Christ was born...
President's Day is a holiday, too. And I'm guessing very few people in this industry get paid for THAT!! It's not all about YOU!!!
True. My dad was born in 1914 and I heard him use it
I think they may even say it in some old movies. I grew up hearing it... it was slang for looking for, hoping for, jones'n for a new job, etc.
I was born in Roswell so that makes sense
=)
my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Have been with them for over a year...sm
and have no complaints. Pay is always on time and they have direct deposit. I have rarely ran out of work on my main account, but when I do I have a backup account to work on. There are incentives offered often as well. I don't see a high turnover rate...the reason they are hiring new MTs is because they have new accounts. Good luck in your job search!
Been on it for over a year and
still struggling. My lines went from 1,500 to 2,000 a day down to 800 to 1,000 if I am lucky. Still haven't found the courage to quit :(
Yes, they were. This year and I believe one other year. nm
Last year
Last year when I worked there I live in Texas and had BCBS of Tennessee through them since they are located in TN. Just FYI. Good luck!
Well over a year..nm
xx
first year pay
I was lucky to make 15000 the first year.
I am making it now but hard in the beginning.
Wow, a year?
 That's great!! I know of one that is $3000.00! You have a great deal there.
Been with them almost a year
I've been with SPI/Cymed for almost a year (at the beginning of March) and the benefits seem to be okay, but I have never had to use them. When I first started with them last March, it was still just Cymed. I did hear that since they merged with SPI that the benefits were supposed to be less expensive when they go to get them again this year.
No, it's DURING second year (after 1)
nm
From 1 year ago...
Left because of having little to know work. Seems like they way overhired. They might do better now as I am seeing more than just clinic work
It's over a year old.
nm
Been with them over 1 year now - sm
as a statutory employee. I would say scheduling is flexible depending on your account and what you and your manager work out. They have been an excellent company to work for and the people there are terrific. If you need support they are right there with you and if you don't they don't bug you and let you run. Their pay is very comparable and always on time. I plan on retiring with this company!
year-old
{Bksp}-year-old
year-old
You would type 41 yo for the expansion to work.
year-old
But I use ESP expander. What I have started to do is build expansions with every age as they come up in reports. For instance if patient is a 41-year-old, I make an expansion of 41yo. I figure I will only have to do it around 105 times at most! If it turns out I have already made that expansion, I then create 41yof or 41yom expansions for female or male patient.
This was from a little over a year ago
so not sure if it's changed, but someone said it was about $75 per month for single coverage (just yourself). Not sure about the employee plus spouse or family coverage amount.
Nothing this year . Not yet anyway nm
nm
Yes, have been there a year.
They pay based on a 65-character line with spaces included. They pay more than most other nationals and care very much about their employees and treat them very well. They are always looking for ways to improve to make us happy. I have 2 accounts and have never even come close to running out of work on either one, even during the major holidays. I have always made excellent money there. They pay by direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of the month. They have been continuously growing since I first started and have been constantly getting new accounts and expanding the ones that they already have. Hope this helps.
Every year it is where is my W2. They have until
1/31 to mail them. If I get mine early great, but I don't start looking for it until the first part of February.
You will pay the same but just throughout the year
If you made that much as an employee, you just would not have had as much in your pocket as they would have withheld it for you throughout the year. As an IC you need to me strick enough to do that or have your husband hold out more to pay for your income. You will only pay 7.5% more in the social security which you should somehow be able to find enough deductions to make that up. But again, have your husband with hold your taxes. You pay the same it is how you pay it. Pretend you are the employee and withold 20% like they would from your check and put it in a separate account. Then you have enough to pay your taxes. Again it is not MORE taxes it is just how you pay the taxes and being able to put that money aside for it.
I have been there about a year
They are nice people to work for and I enjoy my TM. We have plenty of work and I heard we are starting a very large hospital in a few weeks. The health insurance is with Aetna and it is a good plan with a low deductable, plus they pay by direct deposit every two weeks. I came from another company as an IC and always seemed to be chasing a check or two, so having direct deposit is nice. I would say that as a company I am happy at MedScribe.
I have been there for a year and never got one
I was started at 9 cpl when I started a year ago. I was never told anything about a raise then.
$20,000 last year for PT
I work about 20 hours a week, and I took probably 2 weeks off from work total.
$37K last year, should do about $48K this year if it keeps up. sm
How? Expanders...normals you build up yourself, and sitting down for long periods of time.
And so you know, I make that on 8.5 to 9.5 cpl depending on the account and which of my jobs I am doing. I work two PT situations.
Really? A year ago..
It was due to previous owner. Things are quite different now.
I would suggest to post your resume again.
Yes, but only for the first year...
PTO is earned as follows at WMX:
Less than 1 year = 1.077 hours per PP = 3.5 days
1-5 years = 3.077 hous per PP = 10 days
6-12 years = 4.616 hours per PP = 15 days
Over 12 years = 6.154 hours per PP = 20 days
The PTO covers your vacation and sick time. In addition to your PTO, all full-time employees are given 6 paid holidays, New Year's, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Admittedly, the first year's PTO is horrible and may be the worst in the business, but hopefully that will change before too much longer, especially if they plan to lure new MTs to the company.
A year ago maybe, but not now.
It was that way last year
Yes, they deliberately kept us in the dark. They knew accounts were leaving, and wouldn't tell us until the day before they left. They knew we were changing platforms, but wouldn't tell us when. They'd offer to train on other accounts, then supposedly run into red tape getting you started and we'd go broke waiting for answers. They never told the truth and they always passed the buck. The only communications they didn't ignore were their own - when they needed something they felt it was OK to call you 24/7 and get you to come on and type a handful of reports. Forget working a schedule, there was never any work, you were always supposed to flex, and they'd always try to track you down on your day off so you could type one or two reports out of TAT. But when you needed something from them...silence, or outright lies.
5,000 a year????? LOL
you are showing your true colors, which is very immature. I know slang, but I do not use it when I'm conversing with adults. I have a kid that I am trying to teach not to talk like Britney Spears because you can see where it gets you? Negative attention.
Furthermore, I have more important things to do like make money. Please let's not go there with salary, because you'd be blown away honey! Feel better? I sure don't; I think you are very immature and I laugh at the likes of you! I agree it is dog eat dog, and I also think you need to grow up! Have a great day! I allow no one to steal my PEACE! 
I'm with FN for 1 year...
I can't say I agree with the things you state in your post, as I have never encountered such problems.
Files download just fine for me, iType works fine, QA doesn't bug me...is there even QA/QA feedback? I work at night and have not run out of work or low on work. My supervisor is an absolute doll. When I do have an issue, I send an e-mail or give a call, and my supervisor handles it.
I'm sorry you've had such a negative experience with FN.
I guess it just proves what I feel is a good fit for me, is not necessarily a good fit for you (general you).
Good luck to you.
Yes. it was about a year ago
I think that she was afraid she would be one of those laid off. Maybe it's just me but I would never work for anyone who offshored or partnered with another company who did. To each her own. If people can do it, fine for them, I can't.
It has been over a year, but yes they do pay for
Any questions you have, ask Jan Clay, the recruiter. She is exceptionally nice in my opinion. I had to leave due to a death in the family. She was very kind.
Every year we go through this. They don't have
to be mailed until 1/31. If you have your last pay stub doesn't matter when W2 go out.
MDI did not as of last year -- sm
Maybe it's just the companies that provide equipment doing the checks. 
So do you really think in one year we will not - sm
have jobs? Somehow I do not see that happening. Maybe in 10-20 years but not this decade.
