First Choice Medical .. anybody know?
I seen an ad in weeks past here.  Are they a good company? Any employees out there?  Thanks
First Choice Medical
Does anyone know anything about this company? 
First Choice Medical
Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about First Chart Medical?  Having a hard time finding anything.  Is the platform fast and easy to use?  Thanks
What about First Choice Medical? sm
Nothing in the archives, is that good or is that bad? Thanks.
First Choice Medical

      Have worked for FC for several years.  Small and growing.  If you are a solid MT who shows up, does the job well and care about the work you do, you should do well.  


           No multilevel management to deal with.  If you have a problem and want to talk to the boss, she wants to talk to you.   QA is fair and tough at times (as they need to be) - we follow the BOS with only exception when the client says otherwise.  Care about your work and you'll find quickly you have no difficulty with our QA.  


   We get paid on time DD.


          As far as the boss, one of the finest people I've ever known, in the business or out.  She will listen to you and she will back you up when it's necessary.


         As far as not hearing much on the boards, we are all busy working. Very busy.   Not every company fits every person. If you are lucky enough to find a fit with FC, I think you are quite lucky indeed.  I know I am.


First Choice Medical
Any info on this company would be greatly appreciate,  i.e. pay, software, paydays, etc.
Does anyone know if First Choice Medical (Florida)

uses internet based platform or whether you need unlimited long distance?  I'm pretty sure they are IC only but not sure about long distance vs internet.  Thanks:)


First Choice Medical QA position
.
Anybody currently working at First Choice Medical FL
who can give me any info, the good, bad or ugly?
oops, and First Choice Medical.........
xx
Any beefs about First Choice Medical?
nm
First Choice Medical might work. sm
The minimum daily requirement is 30 minutes of dictation. People are wonderful, QA is gently strict, and the pay is good. Don't know if it's hiring, though. IC only.
First Choice Medical - recent?
Does anybody have recent experience with this company?  I saw in the archives multiple mentions of poor sound quality; wondering if this has improved as of late.
First Choice Medical. Could someone who works there contact me please? sm

 I am considering a position there and wonder how hard it is to get a good line count with their accounts, platform, demographics, etc.  I would love to hear from someone who can help me.  Thanks.


First Choice Medical - what kind of platform etc.?
NM
First Choice Medical, a transcription service. nm

Any recent info on First Choice Medical? sm
I've looked in the archives.  The sound files seem to be an issue, but there is nothing very recent on them.  Has sound improved?
Try First Choice Medical (in Florida). When I worked for it, sm
they required a minimum of 30 minutes of dictation per day. You pick the days. Pay was good. Staff was great!
It is First Choice Medical and they are a great company. Nothing bad to say. Try'em. nm

First Choice Medical- flexible? weekend work

First Choice, QT Medical, Metro Transcription in Atlanta, sm
and I am sure there are others. These are the ones that I know of.
First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
Would any current or past employees of First Choice Medical please email me...sm

I have been offered a job there and am trying to make a decision.  I am curious about the type of accounts they have, the platform they use, whether ShortHand works with it, how much work they actually have, and any other information you would care to share.  I know it is always best to hear from current employees to get the real story and would SO much appreciate if someone could help me with my decision.  Thank you.


Two offers
I jumped at the first offer because I was on a long dry spell. The next day I got another offer.  Same pay but excellent samples, directions, you name it. Better than the first company.  First company is like typing in an old DOS program, second company uses Word.  First company requires a different type pedal, second company  (I USE MY OWN). Can I do them both?
I got many offers off of here
and two other places I can't mention or my posts get deleted.
MDI -MD offers 24 hrs, I think. nm
s
HELP, 2 offers

on the table. 


One offer is Med-Scribe, FL.  I did get offered the split shift that I prefer also. 


Other offer is Medquist for more cpl.  I was offered a split shift that I am not too fond of but need split shift.


I am weighing pros and cons of each and am stuck.  Any info to help me weigh these two companies would be great......like what flexibility each has, anybody working for either, anybody happy with either?


 


low offers
I agree that there will always be someone willing to accept a low offer just to gain some experience. But, you get what you pay for. If a company expects quality work, we can expect quality pay for said work! The turnover rates would be a lot lower and the MTs (and MTSOs) would be a lot happier. It's a win-win situation.
Two job offers - very undecided -

One offer from Diskriter, part time (30 hours) PTO.  They pay $12/hour for down time, including when no work is available.  The other is Landmark, a fairly new business, but the owners seem really wonderful.  Has anyone had any personal experience with either of these companies? Both are paying in the range of what I wanted. 


TIA!!

IC, SE or employee? I have 3 job offers and
am not sure which way to go.  I have little if any write-offs, so I'm thinking employee.  The per line amount is the same.  The SE offer counts spaces but no headers & footers and the employee offer does not count spaces but does count headers and footers and offers W/E and night differentials.   The only real advantage I'm seeing is the greater flexibility with IC.  Any advice?  Thank you.
MDI-MD offers what you're looking for
They're awesome to work for. I'm on a super easy account, that I don't mind sharing the info on - it's for a hospital in eastern Maryland. The docs are easy, the platform is easy. I've even typed radiology for the account and couldn't believe how easy that was as well!! I have a 12 hour window, but I like getting up early and knocking out my lines in less than 6 hours! $$
I need some advice. Two job offers. sm
Job #1 is employee status/benefits, 0.07 per line, average ESL, plenty of work, great hours. Will have to buy computer and spellcheck software.

Job #2 is IC status/no benefits, 0.09 per line, no ESL,plenty of work, great hours. Will have to buy computer.

I have never been an IC.

I need some advice by those in the know. I really don't know what to do here. I do not have insurance through DH's job so it would have to be through my employer or private insurance, depending on which way I go.

Any advice by cooler heads than mine? Thank you.

Who offers BCBS?

What MT employers offer BCBS?


How is someone supposed to know who offers the best

medical benefits?  Unless you have worked for every company you don't know how one compares to the other.   If you have no pre-existing conditions and are in good health you are better off to get a private policy.  Deductible might be higher, but your premium is less and with the money you save on premium you could put money away for deductible.  


If you get a private policy you aren't tied to a company because you need the insurance. 


Trying to decide between offers
Morning all -  I have a dilema and would like some opinions on what you would do.  I have been offered 2 positions.  One is with a company that provides equipment pays higher, but I would be doing reports that I am not that great with and they are ESLs.  The second offer I have to provide my own equipment and will have to spend about $80 to get what I need and they pay about 2 cents per line less, but they are easier work types and not as many ESLs.  Which would you choose?  I'm sure I'll get a lot of those nasty posts I have seen lately because you think it is simple , but I do know there are a few of you out there who will not be nasty and give me your honest opinion.
I'd wait and see who offers you the job

In this economy, a lot of companies are not hiring.  While you may have applied with all of these companies, I wouldn't get my heart set on 1 until you've actually been offered the position. 


With all the low pay offers - How's the PTO? see message
New job.  Earning 3-1/2 hours PTO per pay period (2 weeks), which should equate to about 2 weeks per year until the 4th year.  Only 2 sick days - period.  How does this compare?
Transcend I believe offers

Who offers direct deposit for IC?

Curious to get opinions on these offers (sm)

Have an offer for 8 cpl statutory but a mix of clinics...have an offer for 9 cpl but acute care IC.  Finally have an offer for the clinic work type I'm looking for but only 8 cpl IC.  Isn't that low for an IC?  Actually, since I don't want acute care and prefer clinics the 8 cpl stat looks better but it is with a company with a bad reputation but the other company that pays 8 cpl IC has no reputation so it is entirely unknown.  I know nobody can tell me what to do but geez I'm using to making much more than this and have an account that pays well above it actually but I want to divide my time between 2 jobs and have an easier side account to supplement my high-pay harder one.  Does 8 cpl IC sound reasonable or is this below par?  Maybe it is worth it to take less to get the work type I want?  TIA


I'm off today, all the time the day offers
Boy are you bitter. I actually feel bad for you. You sound like someone who isn't being paid enuf and has too many bills. and NO PETS - LOL. Pets will do wonders for a negative state of mind - how can you resist that little cutey pie!!!!

Just the way you say maybe that great job isn't... says so much about how unhappy you are with your life. Sorry. I got lucky and was offered a new job with what looks like a fab co. & I'm very happy.
I have job offers from MedScribe and TechScript.

I just got 5 offers of work after spending (sm)
2 hours combing the archives of the company boards. I then visited the sites of the services that were spoken of the most highly and which seemed to best fit my needs. Most of the service sites had testing/inquiry pages set up; those that didn't, I wrote a brief email, noting how well the service's ICs spoke of it, enclosed my resume (in the letter, not as an attachment), and asked if they needed help. Most responded. The companies that advertise, on the other hand, get between 200 to 500 resumes; unless one is one of the first responders or in some other way manages to stand out, the chances of even receiving a response are slim. Check the ads on For the Record and Advance; Google for lists of MT companies. There is still lots of good work out there.
DKMWRU is posting job offers. Does anyone know anything about it? sm
I'm reluctant to send my resume to companies which do not readily identify themselves.  I wish there were rules for job posters to follow.
It is only insurance Spheris offers. SM
It is managed by Aetna.

There is high deductible of $2000.00 for single/ $6000.00 for family. They will not pay until deductible is met. You must pay for everything out of pocket. Medications are not covered.

I never heard of it either until the end of last year, when they announced that will be our new insurance. No options were given.
Transcend or Wedmedx? Offers from both -
which one should I chose, if any? Help me, please!
Well, first of all, it's not TTS that offers it but rather TransTech (TT). They will reimburse
their employees $1000 on the purchase of a new hybrid automobile or $500 on the purchase of a used automobile. It's their way of encouraging their employees to be environmentally conscious. Hope that helps.
Diskriter vs. Transcend - offers from both
I have been frantically send out emails and these two companies seem to be the best.  Offers are similar, software sounds similar.  I will be doing both typing and editing - I think they use the same editing thingy the name sounded similar.  Anyway, anybody experienced both of these companies in the last year to be able to give me some decent guidance.  Moving from a small local MTSO that went under and need info on these since they are big, but seem stable.
