Is anyone familiar with Scan Medical Services. nm
:
Not familiar with actual company but familiar with platform some use and it is super-slick!
//
yep, tranny = Transcend
s
which MQ office tranny
do not trust upper management at MQ.
You usually get sent the tranny part as voice files and you'd do them in that particular
s
Sten-Tel is a tranny franchise. Different owners, all run differently, different pay, but still
s
Search shows they're management consultants to docs/surgeons. No mention of being tranny

They have both kinds of accounts...nm

Two kinds of flames
flame icon beside a post on MTStars means it is a hot topic (I believe 200 or more hits)
The job hoppers are 2 kinds-SM
The first is the person who really does this for extra money and isn't too serious about it. They have a 2nd income from spouse, don't need insurance, etc.
The second group is a minority in the MT community, but is responsible for the perception that most of us are job hoppers. These people are kind of off--and by that I mean personality-wise, don't like being told what to do, very demanding, prima donna kinds of MTs with very dramatic lives. They need the money, but they also have a personality disorder that makes them upset at any kind of direction given and they also believe they have superior skills to most MTs and deserve to be catered to.
THAT group is the group who posts that they stayed at XX Company for 1 or 2 weeks, got fed up with something and left, stayed at XX Enterprises for a month, got fed up..cycle continues. I am not talking about not getting paid-that's a real problem. I am talking about people who live in such chaos that they cannot really settle down enough to work for ANY company for long and they also don't recognize that the common denominator in the job changes is THEM.
try OSI. they have all KINDS of accounts
I adore it there.
What kinds of accounts did you have in which you could average 250-350 lph?
I've been with MDI for years now and have worked on the same hospital account for years also. The best I can get is an AVERAGE of about 200 lph. Sure, I get the occasional 250 lph here and there, but I can't say I average that on a daily basis by any means. The only time I've ever actually averaged 250-350+ an hour was with ER or radiology work, and it wasn't at MDI either.
At 11 cpl and averaging 250-350 per hour, that would put you around $30+ an hour. I find it hard to believe anyone would really quit a job making this kind of money, and I wonder if you were really able to manage this working on hospital accounts or was it some other type of work?
Of course, you are right. Just wondering what kinds of accounts .. sm
like when they answered cancer hospital below. Anyway, it sounds like too new many accounts at once. I'd probably get stuck with 2 or 3 accounts at once, i.e., too risky for me. I even received an email inviting me to test. I had worked there before, and I realize this email went out to a whole group of people, but I just think I'll pass.
Then what kinds of questions should we ask on this forum?
?
You got that right. Focus has their hands in all kinds of
cookie jars. I'm glad to know this though. Considering a QA position with them.
In addition, all kinds of innuendos .sm
by them (i.e., sexual; suicide, etc) before any sort of investigation, autopsy, or in short, before they know the facts.
Hats off to his brother, Keith, for demanding an FBI investigation.
wow TT hires alll kinds...
eMTS uses several kinds of software. Ask when you apply. nm

KS has many accts, many different kinds of software, many TLs, etc. Some of us just weren't
d
Svl kinds of software for many accounts. Pay starts at 8-9 cpl. Want
s
good for you; those kinds of companies will never be stable

I detest companies saying these kinds of things about current/former
How can you possibly KNOW that those who are _still with us_ are _very happy, blah, blah_? Are you telekenetic? Did you have lie detector tests performed? Perhaps they speak ill of you and you just are not aware of it. Perhaps they feel they have no alternative but to stay with your company but wish they could leave. How do you know what it is your employees honestly feel or think and then speak for them? Did they collectively ask you to do so?
I'm shaking my head at how you just don't seem to get it. This isn't the first time you've been offered the words I offer you today.
I know many MTs will bash companies here and I cannot explain why I feel this way, but when a company comes on and _defends_ itself in this manner, it turns me against ever having anything to do with it. This isn't the first time IMHO you should have left things alone and let outsiders come to their own conclusions.
MTs who are in the know, know where to find information, how to break it all down and make informed decisions for themselves. I don't want to contact you...you brought yourself into my arena and the lions are feeling hungry these days.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. (nothing personal, just a quote I enjoy)
Anyone else finding difficulty doing testing with your foot pedal. I am having all kinds of
problems and cant seem to test in Express Scribe with my foot pedal. Am I going to run into this same problem every time I apply somewhere. I cant do the test without a pedal because it is very long with fast dictators. Even to use and keyboard keys is very difficult so I gave us actually.
don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

Want to call you all kinds of management but showing them, no response at all. zzzzzzzzz
NM
Most companies of all kinds request credit reports these days, fair or not.

FutureNet is a Calif. tranny service, www.futurenet-tech.com ...nm

"All kinds of industry is offshored" yep, & guess who started it early 1980s?
.
anyone familiar with . . .
Electronic Medical Transcription Services? Found them on MTJobs and would like some insight. Thanks!
Familiar
Firday entertainment or just an owner / operator looking to get feedback - maybe if they are tired of annon bellyaching, they should post their company name and let us have it lol. Mnay of us do go to the people who bring us on as IC - but as an IC they state it is rheir company and they can do as they like - and sure they can - but without good MT they will not go anywhere but India. You owners must soon come to realize that we give your company it's good (or bad) name for the work WE do - you on the other hand hold checks, bounce checks, and give us grief for your own downfalls. Good luck to you all.
not familiar with D & L? who are they
x
I am not familiar with SH, so not much help there...
But I did use an Expander program that boosted my productivity b/4. That was great and it helped, but I needed to take the next step. With IT, it sort of thinks ahead for you. No memorizing the shortcuts...it works differently. If you type tpwa for The patient was admitted, IT automatically brings up several words and phrases that MIGHT possibly be used next, like: to the emergency room, to the hospital, in the past, and all you have to do is use 1 or 2 more Keystrokes to add whatever phrase is dictated. If you go to textware.com, you can get the lowdown. They also have a refund policy if it does not work for you. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now. I also use my expander in addition to IT. I have hospital, the, and, physician, etc. under my expander as well. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Anyone familiar with LTS, Inc? Thanks
nm
Anybody familiar with SFT
There is a job posting on the job board by this company. Anybody know anything about this company?
Most of the ones I am familiar with you
either save up your sick time or vacation time (if they give any) or take Family Medical Leave Act with no pay.
You would not do at 4 cpl but very familiar?
I think $20+ per hour now times is pretty good salary plus with my full retirement money from SS and retirement check, I come out ok. You as others on here are doubting Thomases but those are the ones who can't cut the mustard doing it and probably never will be able to do for a good paycheck. Funny thing but the most I see for VR is 4, some has fallen to 3 and yet you are familiar,,,,, hmmmm would not do for 4. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, never do for 4 and very familiar. Do those 2 belong in the same sentence? If you really were familiar then you as a longterm MTer would not a newbie could not do.
I'm Familiar But It Was
There has been a lot of restructuring there and things are still in a state of complete disorganization. Upper management gives conflicting comments when asked questions or for clarification, turnover is high, pay for MTs has been cut repeatedly, QA requirements gets changed often, and the list goes on.......it was not a good experience and personally I'm not sure I would recommend them to anyone. If you have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Anyone familiar wtih QED
Does anyone work for this company? Does anyone ave any advice on this company?
that sounds so familiar to me
I wrote the QA director regarding one incident and made my case. We, MTs, use our fingers, ears, and most importantly, our brains. Somehow, the QAs forget that we have brains and can analyze what we hear.
Anyone familiar with EZ-Scribe? (sm)
Any comments welcome!
Anyone familiar with TRX, Inc? I have an interview
Anyone familiar with Inscribe or NTI? nm
Sounds familiar..
Sounds like we work for the same company! I started a couple of months ago. It totally feels like I've come home to familiar people who treat MTs with respect. I actually like working again after a nightmare with the squid as you put it. I will never go back there - they couldn't pay me enough. I'm happy now and feel blessed to enjoy my job again.
Anyone familiar with FutureNet?
Looks like I'll ditch Transcend to sign with FutureNet. Archives have some good reviews on them whereas Transcend was completely trashed here.
Anyone familiar with DeVenture...
...I read the archived posts, but was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with them. tia!
Only familiar with one of these -- Transtech
My first question is regarding holidays - how many are you required to work? There are 6 holidays, but no pay unless you work that holiday. Required to work either Thanksgiving or Christmas each year, switching out each year, plus work one other of the holidays. ALL taken off WITHOUT pay.
What about weekends? I know some companies offer a shift differential IF you WANT to work weekends. Required to work one weekend day each week. The differential is so little that it is hardly worth it money-wise.
Another question is about PTO - do both TT and MDI offer this benefit? PTO is offered at a percentage that is approximately 3 hours per pay period. This is to be used for holidays, sick days, vacations, personal days, and OUT OF WORK DAYS -- ALL time requested off. NO other time off offered with pay. In other words, forget taking vacation, getting sick and holidays off all in one year -- NOT ENOUGH TIME OFF WITH PAY --- unless you can afford to be off without pay.
Last question is - are the work hours flexible? Do both or either require working 8-hour shifts or does either offer a minimum line count per day and then you're done for the day? No flexibility whatsoever -- as in a window to get work done. Must adhere to schedule given to them EXACTLY! You will be contacted by them if you are not on during your scheduled shift hours. Lines don't matter -- still have to be on your complete scheduled shift no matter if you have 3000 lines done.
Also does MDI lease/rent/provide computer? TT rents the computer to MT's.
Office staff are generally very friendly and call you honey, sweetie and says you guys rock if that helps in deciding which company to go with.
My..This sounds so familiar...
xx
Sounds familiar
About a year ago, I went through the same routine you're describing, except I even went a step further and took thier test. I then got an email saying that I passed the test and someone would be getting back to me to discuss what accounts I would be working on and the pay scales for said accounts. One week went by with no word and when someone finally answers my many emails, I get the same answer you did, about how the hiring process had ended and they thanked me for my interest in thier company. Like you, I said WHAT???
Yes, it does sound familiar
Yes, I have to say if I didn't love my accounts and job at AX, I would have been gone a long time ago because of the supervisor.
It sounds familiar to me
With the exception of the not logging the OT on your timesheet, it sounds like MQ.
I know everyone has asked you who you work for, so I will not. However, if it is the Q, you should do something. Even though the pay sucks because of VR, you have to be compensated for OT, and you have to log those hours.
Are you classified as an employee with the company you work for? Are you working FT with OT or PT with OT? I believe it is a violation of labor law not to get compensated for it. Some states, that is past 8 hours per day, some it is based on how many hours per week you work.
That sounds really fishy to me to be told not to put the OT on your timesheet. I just don't get that. You really need out and I wish I could help. I am working on getting a new position myself.
Some of these companies take FOREVER to get back to you. I put in a resume at one place in early January and just heard back from them last week. Keep your chin up. I must say, though, with 30 years experience, you should be making more than 8 cpl. I have 10 years and make a little more than you.
