What happened to this person who was a higher-up with Tidewater before it was purchased by Imedx? She is all of a sudden gone. Anyone know the story?

iMedX & TIdewater...
I used to work for Tidewater Medical Transcription that was bought out by iMedX, but have no idea what happened to the person who was a higher-up either. I, too, would really like to know as well as she was very inconsistent with most all she said, had very poor communication skills, and never wanted to take the fall for anything when she was clearly at fault. I just found out about her departure from the company yesterday, 02/19/2008, upon calling about possible employment. I was told she was let go, but of course wasn't given any specifics and certainly didn't ask for any. It is quite obvious to me iMedX is not any better as far as communication as my inquiry has gone completely unanswered. Besides, if someone is willing to say a former employee was let go, I wouldn't want to work for them anyway. How professional is that of a current employee to say that about a former employee, especially when they don't even know who they are talking with? Seems to me they're all nothing but a bunch of back stabbers and need to learn communication skills as well as a little business ethics to boot.
IMedx (formerly Tidewater)
Does anyone know anything about this company and/or if they are hiring?
It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

Did they used to be part of Tidewater?
Tidewater had another side that wasn't part of the purchase by Imedx, and some people previously with Tidewater are still with this other side. (That purchase by Imedx, by the way, has been a nightmare for many ex-Tidewater people). Anyway, if that is the other side of Tidewater, I know the people there are okay, and Tidewater pay was always on time.
As Tidewater they were pretty good
After they went to Imedx, a lot of the work went offshore. If you do work for them, be prepared to be pulled off your account at any time...be it that you find out you were just filling in and they never told you that, the work is going to the new system and is no longer available, etc. Used to pay by direct deposit, but that was very frequently not there when it was supposed to be.
Anyone know if Tidewater has the same recruiter/supervisor from about 4 yrs ago?

Any info on Tidewater (TMTS)? All postings are old

iMEDX, Inc.
Anyone know anything about this company? It is based out of Ohio. TIA
iMedX
Does anyone have any information on or better yet perhaps work for iMEDx? I have searched here for recent info, but there is none. I would love to hear from someone that actually works for this company since they have offered me an MT position. Would appreciate any feedback anyone has. Thanks! 
iMedX
Could anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for as I was offered a job yesterday and would like to know how they are as far as workload and if paychecks are on time.
iMedX
Any info on this company?
imedx
Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about imedx? TIA.
IMEDX
Here is what I know. I have been one of their editors for a few months. They are very unresponsive to me as an editor. Even though they have told me repeatedly that they are very happy with my work, they won't respond to me when there is an issue with my not receiving files and/or communication from my supervisor. I have had problems with my supervisor (who at first seemed nice) contacting me and my receiving her e-mails as much as three days after she sends them. This, obviously, is a major problem. I have sent e-mails and made numerous phone calls and sent IMs about this issue, with no one contacting me for over a week at a time, all the while receiving no work -- I mean the work suddenly dried up. The pay for editing Indian transcriptionists' work (plus giving paragraphs of feedback daily which is not figured into the line count) is .02 per line. I was sent plentiful work at first and also promised that there were some BIG accounts coming, which did not happen. They began back-peddling on that promise very soon after I was hired. And then the problems with communicating with my supervisor just compounded things. For the second time in a month, I have not heard from them in over a week. I have received almost no work for an entire pay period. It is for the best, I know, since I would not have left them in a total lurch the way they have done me, and I know from all of these problems to just move on. I wouldn't have done it otherwise, but since they have shown me complete disregard, I have sought other employment. These people care nothing for me, even though I have done a very good job for them for VERY low pay. They do not mind one bit leaving me wondering what is going on and with no work while I have bills to pay. What is it with Kentucky-based transcription companies that are affiliated with Indian workers? Are they all shady, greedy, and rude? I know you will make your own decision about working for them. I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will give you more facts on which to base your decision. I should have known better when I found out that the work I would be editing would be from Indian transcriptionists. I was just trying to give it a chance and not let any prejudices get in the way of my working for a living. I also felt I really needed the job. I learned a lesson, though! I won't work for another company that outsources to India.
iMedx
Medware was just acquired by this company and I am having a hard time finding any info other than they outsource A LOT to India, after all the CEO is from India. Of course we were told that they just bought the name and things will remain the same but in past experience with other fields this usually is not the case.
Does anyone currently work for iMedx? Or are there any that worked for the companies that were acquired by them? Just looking for any info that anyone can provide. I'm trying to decide whether to hang on and see what happens or start looking for a new company.
BTW I absolutely loved working for Medware..great family owned company, always work, paid on time, great employee resources, benefits and pay (even with VR) so I'm so upset that this has happened.
Sorry, should have posted ImedX-sm
This is in relation to the message regarding Turboscribe. Anybody have any information on the company ImedX? I know they are Indian based, really wanting information from someone who may be or have been employed as a Transcriptionist or Editor for the company. THANKS!!
Any experience with Imedx
Just wondered if anyone else is having trouble getting paychecks on time and/or accurate. Thanks.
IMedx allows satellite.

You will be QA for India MTs. Don't go with Imedx! nm

Have you worked for Imedx
I was offered a proofer position for 2 cents per line. Is this good. Is the company good. Any info appreciated.
iMedX info ?? TIA
i could have sworn i saw a post about iMedX on here.
I just want to know who they used to be. Did I see it elsewhere???
Medware bought by iMedX
Has anyone else worked for iMedX after they bought their employer's company? Software is called TurboFlow. Any good? Overall how do you like working for them, good and bad.
Anyone have any current information about iMEDx? Not much in archeives
Thanks so much!
SoftScript, Imedx, Superior Global Solutions
Okay I was offered a job with SoftScript, Superior Global Solutions & Imedx. With SoftScript & Superior Global Solutions I was offered an MT position with 8 cents per line & with Imedx it is a QA position and I am unsure of the pay. I have my interview tomorrow, but I did past the testing process. What job would you recommend? I am 8 months pregnant and I think the QA position would be best, but again I need some info on the companies. TY so much!
ImedX. Any current information? Most of what I have heard is not good
but I would appreciate some more input.
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
Do you mean TMT Transcription or Tidewater Medical Transcription sm
known as TMT. Their tactics are to look for you so it sounds like them.
It's been longer than that for me.
I tend to get stuck with a lot of terrible dictations most of the time, which I don't understand either, but maybe that has something to do with why I can't get a decent line count. Every time I get on the system to work, there's always some horrible dictation skipped from earlier in the day just waiting for me. Just got done with a dictation that was 9 minutes long, but took me over 30 minutes to type due to being inaudible in spots and just basically a horrible dictation overall. I didn't even get 100 lines out of it either!!
no longer there but.
Had trouble getting paid on time.
Not for much longer.
I knew going in they were not paying for headers and footers, but did not realize they were going to take the percentage off the total line count. The headers/footers only account for about 5 to 10 lines per report, so they have quite a little scam going.
Whatever, they are no longer there anyway. nm
:+
Not much longer to be an MT
Medical transcription is going the way of the dinosaurs. Voice recognition is coming in fast now. We will be editing for awhile until they perfect it and feed the corrected copies back into the VR engine to train it to understand all the docs. I would give this field 5 more years maybe. We all have to move on and find something else unfortunately:(
Longer than others for me
I think it took them a week and then I didn't even get a pass/fail but a link to go on to the next test, which seemed to be some kind of personality profile. By that time, I had hired on with another company that was my first choice.
No longer a CMT
I WAS a CMT for over 20 years, it never got me any more money, it cost me to re-certify, cost me to go to seminars for CEC's, I had one company I worked for tell me I could only go to the National Convention for 2 days and I would only be paid if I worked their booth for those two days, so what was the use of going if I was going to be stuck in a recruitment booth insead of learning at any of the seminars? I still kept plugging away spending my time and money to keep that CMT behind my name. Then my mom passed away, in all the work of getting her estate settled, condo sold, etc. I forgot to send in my fee and CEC's verification slips. When I realized it had slipped my mind I called and wrote them a letter explaining the circumstances and that I had all the CEC's earned. Even offered to send a copy of the death cert. Their reply....too bad...so sad pay again to take the certification Test. NOT
The longer MQ MT is on DQS, the less lines
we get. There is no "getting used" to the program that is taking our line counts. Very familiar with DQS, have all normals/short cuts in place, very fast typist, and DQS "eats up lines". MedRite did not do that to us. Why do you think MQ changed to DQS ? -- so that the MT's would get more lines per hour ? NOT !
Katie is no longer there either

If she's no longer there how will she see it? Ditto for
nm
You are a recruiter? Hopefully not for much longer.

This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
4-6 weeks...sometimes longer
nm
was it last fall?, or maybe longer, whenever...
nm
I am. I even sent them an e-mail that I no longer
worked for them and they still send me the stuff from Corporate. I don't get any more from the PS though.
Slave No Longer
Ditto to your post. This new compensation plan is insane. I am now having to work 12 hours a day instead of 8, while all the while making less $. I probably make less than the greeters at Wal-Mart. They expect us to be on standby during our scheduled shift, yet there is no work, and we are not compensated for this time with no work. Now I have work at midnight and on weekends in order to get my quota, and end up working what should be paid as overtime. I am going to call the labor board in my state because this cannot be legal. I suggest we all do the same.
Yes, they seem to have put in place a director of OPs that came from MQ, only to now be doing her damage at SPi. I understand she is also busy putting into place managers from MQ, so it is obvious what her agenda is...to mimic MQ, so we know where the direction of SPi is going, and it seems to hold true with this new comp plan.
In a matter of 18 months, SPi has successfully turned what was once a well-respected, successful company with a talented team of MTs and mangers that was once Cymed and turned it into a cold, disorganized machine. They have had to have have lost millions in revenue with all the clients and MTS who have quit them due to poor service and disorganization, including ongoing unresolved IT issues. It's almost as if they want to fail!
Folks, it's tiime we all stand up for what is right and make someone pay attention. What is a transcription company without transcriptionists? We are not slaves and we do have options. If SPi wants to be another MQ, then let's let them have it and see where they end up in the court system.
I have been in this profession long enough to know that you can be successful at whatever you do by working hard, treating people with respect, and never compromising your integrity, a virtue that is foreign to SPi. I for one am sick for us all at the latest turn of events and am going to spend this time when there are no jobs available making the necessary calls and then submit my resignation.
Let's all stand together and see how long this compensation plan works for them when there is no one to do the little work they have. They may have people offshore who will do it for even less than the slave wages they are paying us, so I say let them have it and suffer the consequences when what business they have left walks out the door.
Since you no longer work there
But if you need to keep repeatedly posting about your bad experience there, go ahead, its a free country. I was speaking of my current work volumes there, to another current employee. My post was not addressed former employees, and I made no mention of the validity of your past experience, so I don't understand why you felt the need to respond to my post. As you said, not everyone has the same experience, and I understand that...do you?
KC... It sounds like you are no longer there.
Could you tell me why? Was the pay on time and comparable?
WMX - no longer get hx on jobs - sm
Is this so we no longer can see who kicked back jobs and potentially report them if it is a repeat thing? Not trying to start a fuss, just curious.
I have done transcription probably longer than
you have been on this earth, almost 40 years now. I think I know probably as much about transcribing as most here, worked for all different specialities, please don’t make me lose it tonight with your holier than thou message. Like you are the only little girlie here that can transcribe.
no you haven't done it longer than I have sm
