They do double talk at MDI. But their supporters are probably favorites or mgmt. There are plenty of people who have been messed up by this company's revolving door and double talk. I am one of them and I see others on this board as well. If this poster is throwing any bathwater it is to clean the misrepresentation and expose the clean honest truth.

Come and get it baby...

MT all the way baby. sm
Why on earth would I be management anywhere. Anyone who is a quality MT and gets good line counts knows being paid on production and being eligible for OT is far more profitable than being management. None of the nationals pay squat for management. If you figure management is on call pretty much 24/7, they make less than minimum wage most places. I will always be an MT, production is how I like paid and I like being paid for OT, not being exempt like the managers are.
Run, baby, run
I quit working for Spheris about 6 months ago (after 5 years). Cannot believe how miserable they had made me...
Loving new company... should have quit long time ago!!!
Puff up, baby!
Put on your face, get back in the race. The Lord wouldn't want you moping around. Get out there. Wal-Mart has openings. It doesn't have to be a permanent thing. Work till something comes along. Get out of the house. NEVER GIVE UP!

I don't know who you are....but, I just sent an SOS  to OSi to bring attention to your posts here. You are incredibly foolish  and immature to come here making such statements and dropping names and phone numbers. I don't know anything about OSI, but I do know that you have really crossed the line here. You are obviously not very bright because of your improper usage of several words in your post...and misspelled words as well.
If you actually do work for OSI, they are going to know who you are once they read your posts and your 'good thing' will come to an end. If I were in management there, I'd fire  you on the spot  for what you have done here. You are pathetic.
Work it, baby.
NO. You can't just get a raise just 'cause. Our government works that way, but this is not the basis of good, old, happy capitalism, which our grand country was founded upon.
There are different levels for different pay, and the way to move up in line count is clearly outlined for the MTs. If you're unwilling to do what's required to get the raise, do you think they should just give it to you? They're not just trying to get you to jump through a hoop to give you a raise. They're trying to help you become a better transcriptionist. If you never did anything to better yourself (get your CMT, work on a harder account), you would stay stagnated in your same position. Learn the harder work! It will not only give you a raise, you'll be more marketable, and you'll earn respect and be less replaceable. Some companies don't ever offer raises, no matter what you do, so this is not a bad deal!
No, they're not going to do it. You have to prove that you are worth it. MTs are a dime a dozen, and you HAVE to show them you're in 1st place out of 12. Don't just do what they're asking to move up. Do MORE than that. Increase your production. Volunteer to help newbies. Get your CMT.
It's worth the effort, and so are you!
sad that you think wanting a baby is
completely unnecessary. I worked for an IVF clinic and I would not call it a crap shoot, either - cold, cold, cold.......
I had a baby in December (sm)
I had a baby in December and did not qualify for FMLA because you have to get at least 25 hours a week or so many hours average for the year. I do not know if this is different from state to state, but this was true for me. I did get a 6 week unpaid leave of absence because I did not have any PTO. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and was off starting the end of October and had to come back to work 9 days after my baby was born.
If you qualify for FMLA you can get up to 12 weeks, but I think you still have to use PTO or sick time to get paid. The best thing is to check with your human resource department where you work. By the way, congrats if you are pregnant!
Vegas, baby!
And proud of it baby. Laugh is on you lol

Since you're planning to have a baby
a couple of years from now, you might also want to consider opening a flexible spending or a medical spending account and put some money aside on your own. Not to tie you to the computer 24/7, but perhaps you can pick up an account locally on your own and set the money aside.
This business is unstable with offshoring, buyouts, lost accounts and the fluctuating workload. You're smart to plan ahead, but I wouldn't exclusively rely on an employer. Is your husband's insurance another resource? Good luck to you.
In these days of low work, I wish EVERYONE would go have a baby, go on sm
vacation, get your bunions fixed, etc., and leave more work for me! 
I don't understand the anger towards people on maternity leave, but as a 50-year-old happily menopausal old woman, I'm also not too flattered with the nasty little cobwebs in the womb retort by someone. I do not resent women who want to have babies -- better them to deal with all of that than me. I can barely handle taking care of myself and my doggie, so hats off to you.
Seems lately that we are all kind of sniping at each other and we forget that we are all in this together. I know that times are tough -- I'm feeling it myself -- but that's when we should bond together and support one another.
Anyone want to join me in a round of Cumbaya? Or even better, the Barney song? 
Wrong baby. More and More new accounts. sm
Lots of work, lots of new accounts, overtime is getting offered more and more. Don't know why the other person left but been here 2 years and lovin it!
MD-IT Intelligent?
I did a search but couldn't find anything about this company. Anyone have any feedback? Flexible schedule? Pay on time? etc.?
Thanks in advance.
MD-IT Intelligent...Anyone??
Does anyone have any information on this company as far as workload, pay, benefits, etc. I cannot seem to find anything and they have advertised in the past so I just wonder if anyone took a job and how it was going. Any information would be appreciated.
Yeah, Baby, lots of ESLs
ZZZZzzzzzz
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Has anyone heard of them, worked for them or is working for them? Need some information, please.
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Hi! I have been a MT for 9 months now. I really am not making very much money. I am not averaging over minimum wage. My company has no benefits either. But I am grateful to have a job anyway. I am taking the test for MD-IT Intelligent Transcription because they have benefits and seem like a nice company. I am wanting some benefits and I would like to make a little more money but I know having only 9 months exp I can't be too picky. I currently make .065 cents per line but a couple of months ago Carolina Medical Transcription sold out to Alphamed and when they happened I lost my good account I had doing clinic notes. I think the acute care I am doing now is good experience but it is hard to make any money cause I am forever looking everything up because there is all kinds of reports. Does anyone know a good company that would hire someone with 9 months exp that has benefits? I know the speed will build up as I get used to acute care but I could use some benefits.
MD-IT Intelligent.. Would like some information
I am interested in applying to this company but was hoping to get more information as far as benefits, platforms,etc. TIA
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Anyone with recent info? Please...I am tired of being jerked around by the company I am working for!
THANK GOD FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE...sm
Unfortunately they are very rare on this forum, but there are! THANKS!
Oh, poor baby -- horrible pregnancy - adopt
I had CANCER -- that is just nothing to you pregnant woman, huh ????? I got NOTHING from company.
It is DISCRIMINATION!!!!
Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to
accordingly --- instead of overhiring and making us EAT THE LOSS.
The need to smarten up! I could do the plan but I'm sitting out here in the boondocks and can't see what is coming. But I certainly could plan a schedule of people to work according to how much work I had OBLIGATED MY COMPANY FOR from the hospital --- surely there was some sort of anticipated work load when the contract was drawn up.
We all know how many reports ON AVERAGE one Transcriptionist can do of a certain work type.
That's what any intelligent person WOULD do. I'd ignore the
.
Very intelligent post, and right on target! nm

I would always hope that a responsible intelligent MT...
typed my medical records. However, why should an MT be the ONLY ONE to take the perpetual pay cuts and the increased reponsibilities that should belong to in-house employees...you know those people who get raises and good benefits...such as researching demographics, CCs, etc.
This business is really different than when I got into it almost 10 years ago. I really, really feel for the people who have been in it for longer and have few options for a career change.
Ideally, yes, every member of the team, from those running MTSOs to those in hospital administration, would have patient care uppermost in their minds...but you know without it being said it is all dollars and cents to them.
MTs are just collateral damage, and professional people should not have to take a pay cut for trying to be more professional than the other people on the TEAM.
I shudder at some of the reports that I see, too, but I cannot lay a guilt trip at the feet of MTs trying to make a living when the deck keeps perpetually getting stacked against them.
The last job I went into was exactly this way...if you have a foot pedal and knew speech recognition, you got the job because speech was new to them. Their tech support was also the human resources person, chief salesperson, and CEO, so when my footpedal did not work, I had to figure it out. My QA trial was 3 reports and then off. The office manager sent me the account specifics - updated in 2007, but I had no supervisor. I could e-mail her with questions, do not call please, and she would try to find an answer and e-mail me back. There is no weekend and evening coverage for anything...call Dictaphone if you absolutely cannot work. Otherwise, five blanks is acceptable to send to the client.
To me, these are the people who should be told to buck up, not the MTs. How can you possibly expect to have a quality MT if that is all the time and information you give them? Inferior MTs are being created by the industry and accepted by hospitals so they can pinch a penny.
To ask MTs to switch professions if they cannot cut it is ridiculous, because they will just be replaced by MTs who know less than they do or more work sent overseas because there truly aren't enough American MTs to do the work.
If the work force is so intelligent, why do they
themselves to be victims. Doesnt sound so intelligent to me.
Hmmm... Work 4 months, get 4 weeks paid baby....sm
vaction - quite a sweet deal ... while the rest of us are struggling with monumentous premiums (financing a newbie's love/sex life not my idea of fair play). Many of us haven't gotten a single day of PTO, (thanks to the line requirement to meet when there is no/low work) and most of have been here much longer than 4 months.
Very intelligent response. If she was not working for Transcend, she would
not be their recruiter.
YOU "get over it", however, makes you sound quite intelligent!
how DO you come up with these amazing comebacks?
ROFL
Absolutely great INTELLIGENT post. Thanks! :-)
And the poster going on about starting schools and training of MTs, to ease transition. The poster needs to read up more as this is way old news. Its happening right now.
MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
Anyone work for MD-IT Intelligent out of Portland, Maine?
Just wondering what they were like to work for, decent money, platform, and benefits?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
or Flexible, Competent, Educated and Intelligent.
Something these posts are making clear many TT employees are NOT.
How pathetic some of you are, stuck in the 20th century and won't budge.
Glad to see I'll have plenty of work this summer while you all fight over jobs with archaic MTSOs that haven't yet made the transition to VR.
Best of luck to you!
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?
