I used to do HR for an MTSO and sometimes cards took a while but the coverage was in place. sm
if they have taken the deductions out, don't panic. With the holidays and the way they fell this year with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close, a lot of companies were closed a lot. My SIL works for MetLife and they were closed all but 2 days each week between holiday parties and actual holidays, so perhaps that is what the holdup is. The insurance card is important but you are covered without it if you have been paying!
Sounds like a place out of Jax FL with..sm
same initials as a beloved service here on this board.
Sounds like a great place, but I wish they
straightened out that I have been reading about here for months and offer some PTO the first year. Everybody needs at least a day or two for illness, child illness, or just some R and R within a year's time. Also wish they hired part time to start out. Oh well, maybe someday as it does sound like a good place to try out.
This RC place sounds like a scam.
That is why resumes and references should be checked and verified. Hiring inexperienced MTs is not an excuse to pay low. 5 cpl is a rip-off and RC knows it. Good luck to those who want to work for that low rate, but these kinds of MTSOs bring the rate down for everyone. Furthermore, usually an MTSO representative does not go on this message board, posting defending the company, no matter how big or how small. They have better things to do.
Sounds like a place to keep in my file (sm)
I really just wondered how Keystrokes got my e-mail, and it finally occurred to me it would be AHDI. It was a nice ad, no doubt about it. Maybe when I am in the market I'll give them a call.
Thanks.
Sounds like we work for the same place...sm
Same thing is happening to me. I have worked 50 hours a week for the past 2 months just to get my lines in. When I turn in my time sheet, I put down that I worked 100 hours in 2 weeks. I got an e-mail from my company stating to please only put 80 hours down. Now, this seems totally illegal to me!!! They should not get away with this but what can I do? I need to pay my bills.
Hmm ... sounds like another MTSO
If you believe that expecting a small token of appreciation at Christmas makes us greedy, you must work for some jerk MTSO that has never given you anything - or maybe you didn't deserve anything extra because of lack of motivation or poor job performance.
Or maybe you are just another MTSO who has no personal life because he/she sits on their computer scrolling through posts 15 hours a day.
Yeah. That's more like it.
Wow...sounds like a good place to work.
Sounds like they made it worthwhile.
Thank you so very much. Need to leave Mq and this sounds like a good place to go, thank you again!

It sounds like a good place to work..
which is why they are at the top of my very short list. I also am a long-time MQer and the thought of leaving is a little depressing, but it has gotten to the point where I have no choice. p.s. Glad to hear you were treated well, and that everyone is doing okay. : )
Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct. A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer. Would it be okay to ask who you work for?
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
Sounds suspiciously like shady offshore MTSO

The best place I have worked
nm
Yep! Every place I ever worked for except
for the place I'm working for now. My very first job right out of school was for a woman who owned her own company, and she had a son and a niece working for her. The niece did more than her fair share, and in fact we became good friends after our dogs started having play dates together on our days off. Her son, on the other hand, did all the easy psych work with all the templates and then went on to steal the ER work (also only docs with templates), and surpise... he always had the highest line counts of anyone. Those were the days also when we got paid for headers and footers, patient info, everything, so he was making out like a bandit.
Also worked for MQ in-house when they had an office here close to my home. Some people sat there and typed the hardest account we had all day, every day and barely made their minimum lines, and there was this one person who would type nothing but ER notes that had very long templates and ended up being an average of 3 pages each. Then she had the nerve to brag about how big her checks were with all her bonuses and incentive. I got a chance to type those two days in a row and I made 1400 lines a day more than I usually did on my main account.
I say share the fortune, be it good or bad. The sooner we all get the bad work out, the sooner we can all get to the good work and start making money. I also had one supervisor tell me that I do the harder work because I make more cpl, but hey, if you are sitting there typing easy stuff all day and using templates, you are making more money in the long run.
Because TT is not the only place I worked before, even
the hospital I worked for experienced lots of low work around the holidays.
I have worked now for the same place
for years and years and like you, when we had close to 50 inhouse MTs we never ran out of work, never and now it seems to be at least once a month type situation. I really do not feel like ours is sent overseas and the reason I said this is when inhouse some tried to be sent and the physicians were really upset and brought back then to Americans MTs. I can now afford to take off a day or 2 here and there but years ago I HAD to work, at least 2 jobs then to make a living and like I said (and you might know) the money then was very good. I now think about my other coworkers possibly being in the same financial situation as I was once and if we are low/run out I will just tell my company I will take off that day. Now that is not saying I want to do every day or week but to let others who might need it really bad I can do that. I have no idea what the answer is to this because it seems to be wide spread. We ran out this past week and now on this wkend all kinds of work to do if we want - but with all the ESLs gosh I just do not want to put up with them when I don’t have to (today is off day for me).
I'm with you - best place I've ever worked. sm
I can't believe anyone is running out of work within the company (except for this week of lower account volumes). Goes to show that there are at least two sides to every story!
They are the least micromanaging place I have ever worked for.
nm
have either you or Annie worked for either place?
nm
I'd go with Keystrokes. The best place I have EVER worked for!!
x
Worst place I ever worked. Much of the same
info in the archives. There is a reason they are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't one of them.
That happened to me at the first place I worked in house. -sm
I had to call them after a month of waiting for my last paycheck. They said they were waiting for me to come down and get it. Can you believe that? They finally put it in the mail.
I worked for a place that had antiquated software before, so (sm)
ExText seems great to me, and no I am not management.
I once worked in place where we were treated like dirt - sm
365 days a year, INCLUDING during MT week. Yeh, they gave us trinkets or sometimes a pizza party, but still jumped on our @$$es as soon as the party was over, about how far behind we'd fallen on our work. I'd rather get NO trinkets, NO week, and no public recognition, and simply a decent living wage and a little professionaal respect.
CBay is the worst place i EVER worked.
Liars and thieves. I do not like to be lied to and they did, all the time.
I have worked for them for three years - great place.
Excellent pay and benefits. PTO is better than most companies. They match our 401-K. I like my account and my TL.
Feel free to e-mail me for more information.
Very good place to work. When I worked there
I was paid $0.10 Canadian per line with spaces. That was before the US dollar went below the Canadian dollar. I think they hire mostly US MT's as there aren't enough in Canada. I think you can also get employee status there. Great bunch of people. I would highly recommend them.
Not Intermountain, but one place I worked for years ago sm
had a gimmick where if there were a blank or two in a report, a comma somewhere where where they did not think it belonged, a sentence transcribed in a tense they did not like, they called it a junk chart and would not pay the MT for the report. With that along with constant and nasty mails they regularly had mass exoduses.. It's the only time in 17 years in this field that I finally had a belly full one day and just up and quit with no notice, no anything, just quit.
Wow! How many MTSO's have you worked for??? LOL!
x
Worst place I've ever worked. I hear a lot about
a better than average pay, but no one ever says what it is. If you do QA they need to pay hourly. When I was QA I was better off retyping the reports.
They use Start/Start and require you to purchase it. When I worked there they got a $20 discount if you told the company you worked for SoftScript, not sure if still that way.
I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, but I do still have my foot pedal and software if you're interested.
Have to punch a clock at Webmedx too. I even worked briefly for a place sm
that had a little popup window come up when you had been gone too long and you had to fill in the reason why you were gone. A little bit too Big Brother for me.
If a company does not make overtime mandatory, and I simply want to make some extra money and get some more lines in, I ought to be able to do so without the company being forced to pay me time and a half. Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot demanding this and demanding that, and soon we end up with less than we had before ....but that is just my opinion.
I worked for a southern Pentecostal MTSO, and
she NEVER mixed business with religion because that would be interfering in our personal lives, and she was too respectful to ever do anything like that. I think it's pretty ignorant of you to take your specific experience and paint a whole region that way. I believe the correct term for that is 'prejudice' and I find it disgusting.
I worked for a small local MTSO for 10+ years, through
3 owners, and I trained the last 2. The MTSO is a man. He is extremely disorganized, just wants the job done, not interested in providing samples, doctor's lists, etc. Frequently doesn't answer e-mails, not recognition for MT week. I lost 3 close family members within a short time, never got a card, a plant, or I'm sorry. When I worked there I did acute care and I didn't need samples, lists, because I had been there for so long I had the info or knew where to get it, but when this MTSO came on the scene things changed. He lost the account to MQ, who has since lost it to CyMed, and he got a bunch of clinic accounts. I left because I didn't want to do clinics, but I would occasionally do overflow for him. He was always calling me because I wasn't doing something right, but he never gave me samples or answered my questions, so I did the best I could under those circumstances. Pay is 7 cpl per gross line, which is 1 cpl more than I started out making 10+ years ago. Never hear from him unless there is a problem or he needs a favor. Checks are mailed and even though he is about 12 miles away it can take 3 to 4 days to get my check.
I currently work for a small national (about 50 MTs). Pay is better, MT week is recognized, my BD is recognized, Christmas is recognized. Not that I expect these things but it is nice to feel appreciated. I get an e-mail or phone call every few months thanking me for all my hard work and going above and beyond when they get in a bind, etc. Pretty much left alone to work otherwise, but provided with any information needed to do my job. I have direct deposit.
I briefly worked for YOG for a few months prior to their selling to MQ and it was the most disorganized company. I didn't know who did what, couldn't get samples, had to frequently call for work because even though I was cleared by QA and should have been getting pooled work I wasn't. Deducts if too many blanks. I still had them calling me to work extra 6 months after I left.
Worked PT for a while a few years ago. Very honest MTSO who has had her accts

I love it there...best place I have worked...plenty of work, pay on time, excellent communication...
wonderful supervisors...who could ask for more?
sounds like the company I worked for
Happened to me, too. By any chance, is this company located in Colorado?
Dang, sounds like we worked for the same company before!
I agree; I was scared to death to make a change, but the opportunity to work for KS just fell in my lap and after a rough (slow) start I can truly say I am glad to be working for them.
I was kind of impressed by the year-end survey, which came to me shortly after starting. I like that kind of proactive approach.
Sounds like a woman i worked for in Colorado..nm

Yeah, be careful. I worked for MTSO that "said" they paid for spaces. I had to work really S
hard for my lines. Took a second job part-time with hospital, same platform (EXText), same font size, etc. and did the same amount of lines in half the time. Decided to look closer at the MTSO and found out they weren't counting spaces. I confronted them and all of sudden. Got lots of apologies and will add to your next paycheck. Long story short, never happened and I never had any work after that.
There are a lot of unscrupulous MTSOs out there. They lie, cheat, and steal!
Sounds like me, I got it today and I haven't worked there since 2005
WEIRD!
I worked for them previously. Very good, growing co., wonderful MTSO, average pay but lots of work.
xxxxx
Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!
Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one. It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT
Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?
nm
Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn
nnnn
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm
