Since you're on a clinic account, are you required to work weekends?  That is something that I saw on their website for acute care, but nothing was mentioned about clinic accounts.

Also, how is the pay?

Thanks for your input!  Now hopefully they will actually respond to my resume, unlike some of the other companies I applied to.

I read the other post but was wondering if some of you who responded to that or anyone else could answer a few more things if you had time.

i tested with them yesterday and was wondering if the transcription portion of the test is anything like the dictators really are; are there lots and lots of ESLs??  that was a hard test.  i don't mind some ESLs but not 90% ESLs as i gotta make income too. 

how do you like the medremote and is it user friendly, hard/easy to get line counts?  i haven't heard of it before so i am curious.  i hate changing jobs!!!!!  also, can you use Instant Text with it?

i really liked the incentive portion as i worked one company with that before and it kinda pushed me more to hit the top of the ladder to get more pay.  i didn't quit til my goal for that day was hit so i made more $ in the long run. 

glad to hear some positives and happy MTs there.  TYIA!!!!

What kind of platform do they have for ER work? Do you need a second phone line? Also, are their schedules strictly Su-Thu or Tu-Sa or can you just work a couple weekends per month?  Do they have a pretty good health plan?

TIA!

I love working at home for a hospital.  I don't have to share work station, books, equipment with anyone.  You have to teach family and friends that you are really and truly working, and to leave you alone during work hours.  It's easy to allow intrusions but set rules from the start. 

I had to work in the hospital med rec/MT department for a month and while I enjoyed the people, I hated being there in a windowless dingy room.  At home, you create your own work environment.  My two coworkers at home are two cats who keep me company.  Good luck!

I am up and at it early, having our Thanksgiving dinner at 5:30 so turkey can cook while I make some much needed Xmas money. 

Hope you all have a good one.

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.

.

How is their pay?  What is considered full time?  How does the 401K work?  Is there any employer match?  Is the health and dental insurance good, and is it affordable?

Not so sure I want to go the route of employee again, considering it.  Just trying to weigh if I did whether it would be better to go with a hospital or with DRC or something similar.

Does anyone know anything about JLG transcription?????

Do you have to work weekends/holidays?  Do you stay on the same account or switched around?  Platform?  FTP or C-phone?

Thank you for any answers. 

Would 50 cents per link be considered good pay?

Also, wouldn't it make a difference to be paid 9 cents per gross line versus 65 characters for radiology?

Just a few questions about the company.  Do they offer part time?  Is the work typically consistent (amount and when received - time of day/schedule)?  Does the work end up being more 1st, 2nd or 3rd shift?  Thanks!

Audio through internet or C-phone?  If C-phone, how is sound quality?  Lots of ESLs on account?  Do you work on mainly one account or required to work on several?  Thanks for your input.  Looking for ''home'' with enough work on one account or possibly two, good sound quality, decent pay and appreciation for quality work.  Tired of many accounts, too many ESLs and suboptimal sound quality.

I'm interested in going the IC route after being a full-time employee.  I'm thinking of applying for a job with MDI and have the following questions:

1.  I've never worked as an IC, so I was wondering how you go about estimating and paying your quarterly taxes.  Also, can you clarify the process of how they pay half of your social security tax?

2.  I understand they use the Bayscribe platform.  Can you use your own word Expander program loaded on your computer or do you have to use the Bayscribe one within the platform.

3.  Does the company give you access to report samples from your account to help with difficult dictators? 

Thanks so much for any info you can share with me!

I understand about the whole flexibility thing. My current company allows me to work whenever. What I'm wondering is do they offer flexiblity as in you can work a few hours in the morning and a few at night? Also, do they allow you to work within a window of time or do you have to say I'll be on the clock from 4:45 to 6:30 or something similar? I know a few companies I've interviewed with said that you have to work your hours between 6a and 4p but that you could work them anytime in those hours. I'm just wondering all this because I have a toddler and he's very busy and his naps are inconsistent. I get up early in the morning and work but sometimes don't get to sit back down to work until around 7:00 at night when he goes to bed.

Also, how many hours on a holiday are required? How many hours on the weekend? How does their weekend rotation work? Do you have to work one weekend day every week? or what? Also, the site, when I went to test, said they are only hiring full time. Is that true? If so, because I'm looking for PT, should I even test?

Please help me find some answers!  Thanks ladies!

What are the OSi pay dates? Also, does anyone know the cost of medical insurance at OSI for one person?

Thanks.
