On another board, every time MedScribe is mentioned, SM
Posted By: anon on 2007-01-19
In Reply to: I started with MedScribe about 6 months ago - and all is well.
there is one particular person who jumps in with the story that she ws never paid by them, and then the company does not get discussed. So you have not experienced this problem and are relativey happy working there? I just looked at their website and it actually looked like a good company from what is there, and their ad looks promising also. Might just be worth checking out, but on that other board, you're just never able to find out anything! I'm so glad you posted. I also found out they hire ICs so maybe they'd let some MTs start out part-time to see if they liked it or were, as we say, a good fit LOL

Read down the board. Mentioned just 2 posts below yours and mentioned
multiple times this week.
It was mentioned on this board that they -sm
never pay on time, so I wasn't in the least surprised when they told me about their payment method.
Do a search on this board. It has been mentioned many times. nm.

Search this board! DRC mentioned last week... NM

Never heard of them mentioned on either job board. Site

Well as had been mentioned before MQ NE is looking for a 1 hour turnaround time so there is no way
any accounts will have work for the MTs and that is what they want to do. I think MQ is losing so many accounts they are trying to do these things to get more accounts plus I am sure cutting into the pay of MTs with their new pay plan when it comes out. With 1 hour turnaround time how can anyone get high production for any kind of incentive pay plan. No way in my book. You would be in a zillion accounts. Well, with MQ reputation and good MTs quitting, I hope this plan works for them.
The job board is NJ Medscribe

I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
Charts In Time, TransTech or MedScribe
Anyone have any good information about these two companies? Thinking of applying. What type of platform do they use?
Thanks 
For full time MedScribe, FL, do you just do 40 hours, sm
or is there also a line requirement? Do you punch a time clock? Do you have to work weekends? I don't see any mention of part time or IC status. Are they available? TIA.
yet you have time to get on this board
and make hateful catty remarks about someone you probably do not even know??? Some folks are just downright meanspirited and get off on being that way... tsk tsk tsk
Have you taken the time to get off this board &
?
I think there are way too many MTs on this board with 2 much time on their hands-sm
I feel like in am in 2nd grade again.
Nobody on this board works. They don't have time.

Time to check the "Jobs" board
There are other places you can work.
Do you really think owners have time to come on this board to know there are any concerns? sm
If you really and truly believe they are offshoring, ask them. Tell them you have concerns and that you have heard they were outsourcing!. I know for a fact that L is still quite involved in the company and believe me, they have hired new people; people who just couldn't cut it and were not good enough to put out quality work; QT has always, always prided themselves in quality! If an MT can't do quality work, why keep them? It's a waste of time and money! I just know one thing, I will do my all this week to help get us back in TAT. You do what you have to do!
I'm sure the attorney has time to "live on this board" like we do. nm

I have known this for a long time; that is why I NEVER respond to an email from ANYONE on this board
because it will identify your email address when you return their email. When they ask me to talk via email, I just don't respond to them. NO RETURN EMAIL FROM ME.
There's tons of info here if you do a board search. They get discussed all the time. :) nm

Comments on this board from 12/2005 said staff was overwhelmed and had no time to help their MTs.

I think someone on the Main Board had this problem a short time ago. Maybe a search there will show

It's the big O not the one you mentioned
.
Yes, it was mentioned... SM
and explained. Transition to new MTSO not going smoothly -- acct could come back at some point but DO NOT hold your breath! Bottom Line: Same-old, same-old -- Onward and upward, think positive, etc. No dramatic announcements other than big push to get everyone on same platform. :-))
EMR...should have mentioned
Our EMR system did cut down on some things for us typists. The medications and allergies were already in the patient's chart and therefore pulled through into the document (office visit letter) that the doctor created himself the day of the visit. If there were changes to those meds, he would dictate the changes. If there were no changes, he would state that. That was one less thing for us to type. It didn't change things for us greatly because we got paid hourly, but I'm sure that would cut lines out of someone who gets paid production. It was a very new concept for our office at the time. We had 21 physicians and 7 NP's so I can safely say half hated it and half loved it. Some doctor's refused to go completely paperless and would always ask us to print hard copies of the latest test results and that allowed them to not have their faces glued to a laptop and actually pay attention to the patient. I have not yet experienced the EMR/EHR system as an actual patient. I'm sure I would be really alarmed at not getting to spend time with my doctor and instead only see the top of their head as they are clicking around in my virtual chart. There are definitely pros and cons and I can see both. As for it completely wiping out transcriptionists -- I have my doubts. Dragon software years ago was supposed to have wiped us out as a profession and look what happened to that. I know VR is a huge thing, but that too is still creating jobs. I tend to be more optimistic. The only thing constant in this world is change and we have 2 choices -- embrace that change and roll with the punches or sit and complain about it and make things worse. Nothing is ever certain so I guess we will just have to wait and see. No one can predict the future.
It has been mentioned that some
companies have increased the cpl when the client requires VBC.
The companies you mentioned
Company 1: Good company if you like ESLs. They have lots of accounts in areas that teem with ESLs. For them, I would choose QA.
Company 2: This company has had more conflicts than Carter's liver pills, and the turnover is outrageous. The problem is that they are always out of work. They overhire, then nobody has any work. Lots of big wheels. Public company and making millions but the MLS's as they call them don't get the money. They promote from within. They are going to speech recognition and cutting pay in half. Forget them totally.
Company 3 outsources like crazy and hires people who don't know what they are doing. Just started decent benefits. Moving to speech recognition. They do not stay in "touch" with the real workers who keep them afloat. If you are not an insider you will go nowhere with them. Forget them.
Company 4: I would shoot for a QA or editing job since you have the experience. There is some pettiness but you don't have to be that way and the managers don't expect you to be. Good benefits and stable company.
Even with some of the problems mentioned here,

No one has mentioned my company yet
LOL!!! Sad, but true... Don't like my company either.
Several people have mentioned that they have
been hired for the account. I have also been hired for the account.
P.S. You mentioned archives
when you searched. I believe that will give you only older info. Try searching without going into the archives - you'll find some more recent posts, some negative, some positive. Just confirming again, though, that my experience has been very positive.
Do you have to use their computer still? Mentioned somewhere in

The ESL load has been mentioned as being a very

Me too - Transtech was never mentioned by OP
NM
Here's a few places that have been mentioned..sm..
Accuscribe, DSG, Echo Sten-Tel, Execuscribe (just started using it recently), InTouchMI, MQ, and VanBelkum.
No name was mentioned and how many people
even know who the recruiter was.
I don't get it. This Kim person is mentioned all
I guess you don't want to say anything against someone here. There is also Debbie mentioned for TransTech. 
As I mentioned in another post...sm
what a great way for terrorist organizations to infiltrate the US.
exactly. That's why I also mentioned POOL
/
Quite a few posters have mentioned doing this..nm
Which one mentioned hourly?
Was it M.L. or was it the female? Just curious. I can't understand why they won't pull the escription MTs who don't have work - over to the Dictaphone accounts that they are scrambling to hire for.
It seems really dumb to lose some of those MTs because they are quitting due to no work and then be desperately trying to find new hires for the dictaphone accounts.
They are only making things worse because those lies are catching up with them and they will have fewer and fewer people applying because the word is out.
ok.. but names were mentioned x2
A name was mentioned x2 in the tts nasty post and was not removed...
It's so important to her that she mentioned it not once
Maybe it's just my perception, but that post came off as really pretty arrogant. I know things can be conveyed wrong in writing but she does not sound like she would be a pleasant person to work for, that's for sure. The whole tone of the post made me go EEK...
All those "occupations" you mentioned are
fine but most businesses, even small mom and pop ones, have so many hoops to jump through to even get started. Then there's the ugly taxes to pay, too.
I'm trying to figure out a business I could get into without all the crap. Sick of all the hoops. Even crafters have to have a license if they sell at shows and our farmer's market has the list of names of everyone that has a stand there that they must turn over to the government if asked, even if someone is just trying to make a buck in something temporary, like selling all their attic treasures.
I'll be able to retire soon. DH says I better sign up as soon as I can, but I'm still paying off bills after his surgery, so it's impossible. I need another 3 years to get on top. Anyway, when I didn't pay SS taxes for 3 years (no job), my SS $$ went down from $1000 to $200 a month and after 10 years, I'm now at the $800 /month mark now. Who can live on that?
I already work at the first one you mentioned and leaving for
nm
as mentioned, not a big demand for it whatsoever - sm
because of the fact that it can be outsourced. However, there are hospitals in very very remote areas that do not want to or cannot outsource, usually a very small hospital with outdated equipment, etc., - those were the travel assignments.
Forgot about benefits you mentioned. I don't have
their benefits so I don't know how they work or what the requirement is to get them. It is much cheaper to purchase an individual policy in most cases when you work for any MT company. Very rarely do they actually have good insurance.
You mentioned benefits. They only hire ICs.

I have no desire to go to MQ, never mentioned it in my post. nm

Don't Precyse and the other company you mentioned
v
How can you be so defensive? nothing was mentioned about India -nm
f
Plus, their QA on the account you mentioned is INSANE
If you're not one of their personal favorites, they will keep picking, picking, picking, tearing your work apart making sure you have at least a few errors - you know earth-shattering, life-threatening ones like putting a comma somewhere they don't approve of, just to make SURE you don't get that highest pay rate. Then next time you change it to what they said it was supposed to be last time it's wrong that way too - you have to have mistakes on your reports you know!
Power trip from hell, and messing with people.
No thanks.
