They just chose not to bid on one that went to voice recognition but have had 100% renewal on contracts.

My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it.   I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx. 
again, you are wrong; depends on account; if you're doing demos, then
nm
You are lost and the WRONG site filling out an application for who knows what???nm

Have you tried to go with the account they lost.
:
that account was lost too nm
nm
account lost was....

I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost.  All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them.  There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+.  The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more.  Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired.  TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them.  More and more, the doctors were going to the other service.  We were all let go on 1/30.


 


If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today. 


How would we know that they lost a huge account? sm
They never communicate with their MTs. 
They lost big account. Go to Webmedx with
xx
Somebody must have lost a BIG Account. Feel sorry for MTs (sM)
that might be effected by this.
Anyone know why OSi (GA) lost big account today? (nm)

My experience........they lost the account...sm
this has happened to me so much in the 16 years I have been doing this, when something like what you described happens to me, my first thought IS that the account has gone some place else.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.

I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.

I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.

I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
They lost a huge account in Alabama
to work it.  It was probably one of their biggest accounts and they didn't keep it long.  Beware.
To those complaining about no work because of the lost account...
I wasn't aware that an account was lost because I wasn't on that account. However, instead of complaining about not enough work because an account was lost, you should be thanking DSG for not just up canning your butts! They could have just gotten rid of the ones on that account, but sounds like to me they tried to move you to other accounts in order to keep you on at the company. I guess if you look at it that way, they don't sound so bad, huh? Everyone is always so quick to look for the bad and bash a company and don't think about the other side of things. I'm sure it wasn't their wish to lose that account, but it sounds like to me they are trying to look out for their MTs.
Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm
nm
Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why.  It is like they did it on purpose.  Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so).   I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.  
The account was not lost. It was fired, if that is what you do to accounts that you do not want. s
I have been there for 4 years. They have not lost any accounts but have gotten rid of 3 accounts. One of them was definitely the one you are talking about as it is the only one I ever saw with such blatant cherry picking by hospital staff. They were not even hospital staff; they were hospital employees that were let go and went in to work as ICs.

I have been a lead and stepped down recently due to family obligations.

They continue to grow steadiily and the changes over the years have all been positive. They truly do value their employees and stand strong on no offshore, which is important to me.

I would give them a call if you do not like where you went. Several have found that the grass is not greener and came back. A few were not taken back, but I find them to be fair.

I do not think that the company is perfect (i.e. no downtime pay) but I usually have plenty of work, get paid on time and like the people I encounter. I get asked to work extra, but that should stop now that there are more MTs on my main account.

They do not overstaff; I am very grateful for that.
I lost an account for taking a few days off
and I told them about it way in advance. Came back to find out I was not needed on the account any longer and they took their time finding me another account to work on. So, like previous poster said, what does it matter the reason....they will either keep you or they won't. Be prepared either way.
They're completely lost all of the respect I had for them
They always stood for honesty and integrity in an employer in my book.

Now that book has just been thrown onto the fire.

Best of luck to them on D's new money-making merget. Perhaps she'll make Fortune 500 or Forbes one day.

But she'll do it sans THIS loyal MDIer.

I'm outta here faster than MJ's doctor fleeing the scene.

I'm giving them exactly the respect and common decency they gave me.

Buh-bye, MDI!!!!!!
Which is the reason my company lost a major account.

The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.   


Battle was fought and lost years ago. nm
x
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
I'm sorry but you're wrong. My

name is not snowball (my cat) or Stanley (my dog) and I am no pet. I am just an MT who is supposed to work part time for the company 4 hours a day 4 days a week but end up working a lot more because the account I'm on is always out of control.


You're not doing anything wrong...
Unfortunately there is no way to search for recent posts other than to scroll through each page.  If you use the search function at the top of the board, you can only search archived posts which date from about eight months back.  Less than eight month post you really can't search other than going through each page - it's kind of a bummer!! 
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. SM
I don't appreciate your characterization of my concerns as paranoid. I happen to work in this area, conducting ID theft investigations; I doubt very much that you can claim any expertise on the subject, based on your very ill-informed post.

Apparently, you're not aware of the huge Monster.com incident that is still under investigation and that involved the theft of RESUMES.

Here's a link to enlighten anyone who thinks throwing your resume around willy-nilly is a great idea:

You're wrong. - sm
I personally know the new leads and have worked with them for over a year. All are located here and transition is really happening. But Focus does have to live down the past and let the new show what they are gonna do.
Sorry, but you're wrong....
If I'm on the job board, it's because I'm LOOKING FOR A JOB! 
You're wrong... sm
Like there's no poverty and desperation in THIS country?



It's NOT about identity theft: That can (and does) happen ANYWHERE.



The reason medical records should NOT be off-shored is because it's taking jobs away from Americans, putting American money into the economies of OTHER countries, and at the same time allowing American hospitals and providers to thumb their noses at HIPAA. HIPAA isn't enforceable in Timbuktu.

It could be that you are on the wrong account, there is a lot of work.
Things are busy. If you'd like, send me a private e-mail. I think I can help.
bet you're dead wrong on that one!
!
You are oh so wrong. They're changing the name and

they're not 'exclusive.'


You're wrong. Never have been paid for OT. Many others
have said the same thing.   I don't know how other accounts work, but there is no way to even submit OT on transnet, you can only submit the number of lines. 
I think you're taking it the wrong way.

What if a brand new MT happened across MT stars and saw your post.  Maybe it was their first time here?  What if they thought - hey, great, an opportunity?  On an MT board do you really think Transam associates was a well hidden secret that you happened upon?  Isn't one of the biggest asset an MT brings with her/him research skills?  One only needs to type Transam Assoc in Google and there you have it. 


Think of it from that perspective.  Let's just hope some new MT didn't happen along that day and see your post and now is on her/his way to being broke and taken advantage of.   


FAIL - You're both wrong....SM
Technically, you are both incorrect. This correct phasing should be:

*If I were the person to whom you were unable to offer a position, then how...*

Wrong use of a couple of words and punctuation in there, ladies.

Carry on...I'm getting some popcorn.
Still wrong. I just said that because when someone is nasty, it spills into the account and others
I agree about rarely visiting. I am off today and it is like watching a soap opera. I can't seem to pull away even though I have a lot of other things I should be doing. I have a rare day with no kids or husband home, off work, no plans. Idle hands :)
when you can go to Starbucks and get better benefits, we're doing something wrong.. Thanks for fu
That was great!!!
You're wrong. You have posted many times
about QT, always trying to start something.  You've even posted things making it sound as if you work there, and you say you don't.   Why do you need to know what is going on if you don't work there?  Things are well at QT, despite all the garbage a few months ago.   They are not hiring so any information about pay, work load, etc. isn't needed. 
You're giving out WRONG information!! sm
There are 2 Synthescribes. The one involving Heather Rigsby is based in Tennessee. This is why you just have to trust your on judgment on this board sometimes!
Barbmt - you're wrong. Focus has
always been offshore. They wanted to come onshore but for whatever reason, they are now returning all work back to India. Get your facts straight. We were not paid too much - heck the MT work was horrible, mostly the Indian MTs but also the American MTs. I could have typed them faster than all the time I had to take to fix these mistakes.
you're scolding to the wrong person
/
You are very wrong. With only a few years under your belt, you should be sm
grateful that someone is giving you a chance. If any of my subs had attitudes like that, they would be looking for other jobs.

There are complaints about the work going other places, technology taking our jobs and doctors looking for new solutions and we ask WHY?

Maybe it is because the newest generation of MTs is too full of themselves to want to put out a perfect medical record.

Then again, maybe it's because those same MTs think it is OK to look at other MTs' work. This is a direct HIPAA violation. Is that too picky?
There is so much wrong with that company that 100 years
wouldn't fix it.  
Hmmm...wonder what account you are on..my QA is great..what was wrong, which report,what I put and
what it should have been.  I've no complaints at all about this company.  The account is picky but that is not Amphion, that is their client.  Besides, that what  I get paid to do.  To each their own I guess.
Yes, it happened to me, years ago. I knew it was WRONG!!!
probably a certain portion are new, believe it and sign up for their MT class
I had the same experience. Horrible account, nonexistent communication. What's wrong with these
nm
Maybe you asked the wrong person. I am sure that not everyone is privy to all account information.
I know that there are at least 2 more in the works, being converted over. How do I know? I am the lead on one of them and have been involved with the conversion for the past 3 weeks.

The only people who know would be KB, LT and PG for sure as they handle sales and operations.
You're wrong. You are not required to work one weedend day a week.

I have 14 years of experience and I bombed the transcription test. Where oh where did I go wrong..
Oh well, I was offered a QA position at our local hospital so it worked out.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting
x
LOL - you're getting MY account SM
my hospital account is switching over to Axo and you'd better believe they outsource. They quoted me 7 cents a line - I have been doing these doctors for 12+ years now with pretty much 100% accuracy. I lost the account earlier this summer for 1 week, but they came back because of major quality issues - sounds like Axo got that ironed out, but again, they DO outsource.
actually it depends on which account you're on
