No, I haven't been. I told my true experience of working for that company.

In Reply to: I think you just have a negative attitude. Why - is that?
I don't have a negative attitude. You're the one who can't handle it when someone disagrees with you.

I was told it was about 2 hours. I haven't
accepted position yet so don't know any more details.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
Maybe they are working and haven't sm
had time to answer your post. If your post had not infuriated me so much, I would not have answered this one because it is such a snippy post! You are not the only MT in the land you know!
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think
x
I don't know that it is true, I haven't asked, don't feel
like they would tell me if true. I haven't figured out the company name yet, still trying and I doubt seriously the offshoring company would tell us who their clients are. There is a ton of work, so I don't see offshoring (if it is happening) is affecting me. They have one account that is very difficult and they are unable to keep MTs on that account and maybe that account is being offshored, as it is mostly ME dictators anyway.
I know for a fact that QT management does monitor the boards and I feel like they need to address the concerns or they are going to find themselves in a bad situation.
I am working on it - haven't run out yet- honestly

i don't find that to be true, i work there & haven't had problems with pay. sm
never have i encountered disorganization or rude people so far. maybe things have changed or wrong company?
Should you keep working as an IC when you haven't received payment from last month?
I am working as an IC and still have not received payment from last month. I also had to pay $75 deposit for their software. My MTSO recieved my invoice from last month and nothing. They just keep sending me work and I am still being nice. My sister said no money, no work and do not do the work until I get my check. Is she right? My MTSO has recieved my invoice and let me know they have it. Any suggestions?
I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.

Not true! I was told this same thing by....sm
the company I worked for - They told me to move to a business unlimited long distance line and when I did, the phone company came back and cut me off and said that under no circumstances is the receiving of dictation for transcription services allowed! This was AT&T/SBC in Ohio. I have asked every phone company that I have contacted about having them consider an unlimited long distance plan specifically for the MT, and have never heard another word. I wonder if it would be possible to get some backing on this issue? There are thousands of us that need a truly unlimited plan that just ain't there....period! I think Vonage was everybody's answer to the problem as a last resort, and if they won't allow it....what are we to do? Replies welcome! TIA
Is this true? I was just hired and was told 24 hours for PTO...nothing about 401K..let me know!
Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
That is my experience..I too will soon quit and have told...sm
Dorothy I simply must have more work, more accounts, something but get the run-around..always saying things will pick up, this is a holiday slump, etc. This is NOT a holiday slump unless the holiday started in September! Really bad situation and I am aggressively looking for another job.
When I asked about line count, was told they were working on getting that available but I worked

I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
I worked for Keystrokes a few years back. There were some problems but was told they were working on
I had heard that before, too many times to count, so I left.
I came back 2 years ago and it was like night and day.
All of the old problems are gone. They blamed them on growing pains and never denied them. Instead they fixed them. They have my vote!
No experience, but was told that work is assigned, no pools, and it's still 8cpl as an IC. nm

I have 19 years experience and was told the same thing. I think their test is incorrect.
x
not always true - from personal experience -
clients were told that I was editing all their work - I was not.
That's true. Sorry you had a bad experience. My division...sm
is in TX and it has been pretty smooth up until this point.
I have experience working
I have experience in these specialties: family practice, internal medicine, cardiology, hem/onc, ENT, allergy, orthopedics, urology/urologic oncology, and pulmonology. I am looking for a job, and you can e-mail me if you would like to.
I have NO experience. I started out working
for a group of radiologists and working my way up to Medquist. I have a B.A. and M.A., but I must say that I studied anatomy and physiology, chemistry, nursing math, microbiology at the local community college which helped me on testing. I couldn't have passed MT tests without these courses. The rest of what I did was fast-talk my way in the door. Good Luck!!!
Its been my experience, even when working in the hospital sm
that MTs with seniority usually get the worst work because it is the more difficult work and newbies usually cannot handle it. Unfortunately, thats the way it works in this field...the more experience you have, the more likely you are to get the crap work. That work has to get done too!
I had a BAD experience with working with Indians...nm
xxx
Anyone here working for Medivoxx that can share experience with them? nm
xxxxxx
I haven't but the company I used to work for asked
MTs to take a cut or risk losing the account because the account wanted to go offshore.
I'm curious about this company as well? I haven't really heard much about it.
I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company
I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
Plus my company is out work and I haven't made my rent yet, so am grouchy!

Honestly, I gained my first experience with Escription working for Focus. It was my first online job
So I stayed long enough to get comfortable and then moved on. It was a weird experience working with supervisors in India and the lack of communication but I never intended on staying. I bit the bullet, got my experience and left.
Yeap, this be me. I told you that you would like it. Truly, this is the best company.
I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa personally and she is just delightful and a joy to work for.
Yes, right company. MTSO told me so
herself. The offshoring is fairly new, maybe 3 months or so. I did QA on some of the files.
See, told you they were a great company. Not too many would do that.

I was told to only ask about a specific company, but that was the problem..
I didnt even know who to apply with and all I wanted was recommendations, which I guess is not allowed. I certainly didnt expect anyone to offer me a job from my post. It's just nice to hear what others have to share about the company they work for, which some of us may not even know about to specifically ask about. Oh well. sorry you got deleted. I feel your pain.
We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
Yeah, my old company told all of us our jobs were secure
They told us to go about our business and work as usual, that a merger or acquisition may be taking place, and we need not worry. In that first call, I asked the supervisor about sending it to India and got a very defensive answer. I should have learned!!! Six months later, 150 of us...bam!!! Laid off...no more US MT force for that company...
When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me! Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy. I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers. I am sorry you all are going through this! I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
I was told that the company is fined and they take the compalints off their website
after being paid. My husband was working for a plumbing company that had a lot of negative reports (he dosen't work for them anymore thank god) and all they had to do was pay $5,000 to get the complaints taken off. We checked the BBB site again and low and behold there is not one bad complaint against them. I didn't know you could buy the BBB. How does that protect the consumer?
True, but I don't do VR at my company. nm

I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it
:+
but mgmt told me they outsourced some work to a small company at times.
There is no reason for me to lie about this.
I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that. But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before.
You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.
TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low. From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.
NOT TRUE !!! I was a manager at a company that sm
was sued (and lost $450,000) because of a limb that was taken incorrectly based on the transcription. The hospital lost $2.8 million, the doctor $4.2 million and the transcription company $450,000. This was due to the fact that the transcription said one thing and the voice was gone so there was no proof of what had been said.
That error is partly responsible for the hospitals having the patient verify the limb and putting the x on it with the patient still awake and alert.
It was 14 years ago and I would not recommend a service to go without E&O and liability insurance, especially as the public is more sue-happy now than they were even back that short period ago.
Not true. The name of the company and link, please. nm
he did not ask about working for another company
nm
we must be working 4 the same company
very cold shouldery there, always been that way - no big fuzzy welcome wagon. Emotionally u are pretty much on your own.
IC's working more than one company
Any IC's out there working for more than one company? It seems that has happened to me obviously part time. Do you like doing this, the variety or is it constantly confusting.
Quig
Are you currently working for such a company?
nm
Working for the company
I have certain days that I work, I have worked holidays but this is no different from years in the business, just part of MTing as it is a 24/7 job. This is a medical job. Nurses have to work holidays. I see no difference. I have certain hours that I work and if I ask to juggle around hours during that day, no problem on this end.
I am working for a company, only been
there about 7 or 8 weeks. Started out on a platform. The hospital account then upgraded this platform (ha) to a supposedly better version. Get it upgraded. The first day for the first 6 hours of my shift, they couldn't get the stupid program going. They finally get it going and spell check doesn't work right. Doesn't recognize medical words and won't let you add new words to the dictionary. This particular hospital has 2 sections. In order to get to the different section of the hospital to transcribe a report, you have to come all the way out of the system and log back on. You may have to log on and off 10, 15 times a day depending on what job comes to you. No rhyme or reason to the way it qeues jobs. Just randomly switches you back and forth, back and forth to the different areas of the hospital. I'm just about to go nuts. Working at Wal-Mart, McDonald's, cleaning commodes, anything, is looking better than this. Sorry for the long post. Just had to take a break and vent before I explode!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are working for such a company,
You should be able to find the form on the IRS website.
