Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

It's EASY to search recent posts (sm)
using Google site search.
Ex: chase site:mtstars.com revealed all the posts written about this transcriptoin company, most recent first.
It's easy to tell which posts below are posted by TT management
pretending to be MTs... Too funny.
MTs aren't going to post cheerleading posts happy about having their pay cut for the same amount of time/work... It is very time-consuming to correct the mess VR cranks out.
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
Depending on the account your placed, this is not bad place to work.
If your on the Escription account, run and do not look back. Work often runs low and the stuff you get is horrid (ESLs) etc. and it is almost impossible to make any money. These are VR accounts. So, if your not on a VR account, you will most likely like it as far as pay on time and decent benefits. I had to quit because I either had no work or crappy accounts where I made no money. Obviously, it was more beneficial to find another job for me. Communication leaves a lot to be desired.
MDI is a good place to work. Depending on what account you get.... see msg
Some accounts are slightly overstaffed and there is less work but I know other accounts are swamped. Their benefits are comparable to other companies. Line count is reasonable and I like working there. The staff is really nice. Just like every company, what works for someone else may not work for you etc.. so go with your best judgement. They have been good to me so that is all I can speak for. Can I ask who else has offered you a job??
Also depending on hospital, downtime (no work or tech

I work for Transcend, love them, but right now a few accounts are slow..so depending on which you
were hired for, do not get your expectations too high. The work can flucuate the key is flexibiltiy. If you have to have a set schedule, I would double check on the work flow for your shift on your account. I would hope that they could be honest, and if I know them, they will be.
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
very easy to work with - sm
I have not had any problems with this software (knock on wood).
They offshore. That's where all the easy work goes.
All that's left for U.S. MTs is ESL and difficult dictations.
Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm
s
I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

Yes they can put them to work on easy stuff, such as clinic
NM
AnyModal is alive and well and quite easy to work
with if you have an IT department on the ball enough to make it work with your regular platform. The only thing it doesn't do very well is formats, it's not much for left justifying but otherwise it actually helps with the bad dictators. Plus, it's good for a laugh now and then. I don't mind it anymore. I mind the low pay rate but if I can get 3200-3500 lines a day on it, I can pay bills. The first 6 months we had it, it was a nightmare. Now that it's been in operation a year, it's not so bad.
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
Not so easy when you make top pay and work days and hours of
xx
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Good luck on whatever you decide. 
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm

They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.
Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.
I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
Posts from last yr said work ran out often. And they might be
v
depending on who you ask
If you ask me, not hardly. Lets see, six weeks back pay still owing, heard more people are quitting and have not been paid, heard IRS is investigating, the district attorney is in the loop now as well as Department of Labor. How many girls are still owed?.... It will not settle down with D&L until they PAYUP! I will make sure of it!
Depending on DC
A friend of mine has a chiro account she's had for 15 years. She charges 0.12 per line and a line is a line no matter how long it is (none of this gross line crap). Not all chiros are cheapskates!
Actually, depending on where you are
They use Fedex and the actual charge from there to GA is $16 and some change so when I worked there they did make money off of that.
sometimes it can take a while, depending
on how busy they are, but if has been a few days you can email them and ask...... that's what I did
About 3 wks ago, there were posts saying they run out of work all the time. nm

After reading all the posts about MQ and no work,
nationals. Almost every single large national that I know of has benefits tied to production and a clause in their contract that they cannot be held accountable if there is no work. Doesn't it make it convenient for them not to have to pay insurance benefits if THEY overhire and there is consistently not enough work to go around? This is the same thing that happened at Transcend. After all, how much does it really cost the company to overhire when all they have to do is supply the computers, which are a business expense write-off anyway?
Did you not read all the posts about no work, that if
you had bills to pay this wasn't the job you would want?
I have. The company I work for now posts when
they have openings, but I was hired before they started posting. I'm going on 6 years now with this company. I have also received 2 other offers from smaller companies that don't post.
TransTech still very low on work? No posts lately.
Don't know if the grass is going to be any greener over there if there is no work, as previous posts suggest. Can anyone provide an update on that situation? Sounded pretty dire.
Are the posts below - running out of work at KS (sm)
seems lately this has been happening a lot - and I thought they did not do that at KS - any input from MT.
After seeing all of the no work posts here, I'd think they probably got a lot of angry sm
emails, calls, etc. I used to work for them and thought they were a great company, but even a couple of years ago, the work would dry up and you had to work a 24-hour day practically to get all of your lines in. I still have an email from D that told me to work extra but not write it down on my time sheet. I'm tempted sometimes to show it to the labor board and see what they have to say about it. Probably not worth my time and effort … just a funny thought sometimes. I have moved on and the more I read lately with the VR and all that, it seems that was a good thing. For those still there, I hope things turn around. Good luck.
For me 3-5 hours..depending on
how focused I am that day, how many interruptions I have, whether the system is running slowly, etc.
Depending on where you live (sm)
this could be a very good position for you. The people I used to supervise (pathology transcriptionists in-house) made about $15-19 per hour depending on how long they had been there. This is in Southern California, though, where employers will pay a little more when transcriptionists are scarce.
Depending on your proximity to them I'd allow
it a couple more days. DH company mailed his 1/30, in the same state, took 2 days to get here. If you don't have it by the first of the week call them.
Probably depending on the position sm
but I imagine most will want to see a 98 at least. Some might be more forgiving, especially with a somewhat newbie? You'd be required to maintain a 98+ during employment so I don't think they'd want to start anyone much below that.
Depending on the company, sometimes
direct deposit to kick in and you'll be mailed a paper check until then. It all depends on their bank and their procedure. Some banks require a test run to validate the acct being deposited into. Have you asked or inquired about it?
Depending on the company you might
One company just cut QA pay 30% and up, so that might not be a good idea, although, MT pay cuts will probably happen soon here too.
Depending on the account
ER reports have a really good potential to be a big money-maker. Lots of normals and a lot of repetitive statements you can put into your expander. Not to mention the fact that the work is usually far more interesting than acute or clinic work.
IMO, 7 cpl is a decent rate.
Look 4 posts down regarding nosedive in work at MedScribe....
I don't work there so I don't know what's going on. I just remembered the post 4 down from yours inquiring about an apparent nosedive in workload.
depending on what state you live in - sm
you could possibly be hired by another hospital IN THE STATE you are in and go to work at home, or you may be considered for a position at Diskriter that is hiring for a Florida hospital, but again, it depends on what state you live in. The Florida hospital can hire from about 7 other states, but if your state is not one of them, then you are out of luck.
Anywhere from 3 to 10 hours, depending on speed,
experience, ESLs, interruptions, platform, etc.
