I am considering an offer with Trascend too and
I was wondering if they really can tell you that you have to work 8 hours straight on a weekend day if you are IC.
Inside is the quote; not the red. The red in my post is my own personal opinion.
*** We started using the Enterprise Express Speech System in late October of 2007 and have already seen a 500 percent increase in speech-recognized drafted
reports. While just 20 members of our team of 300 transcriptionists
are using the system now, we plan to expand its use significantly. In
only 60 days we've seen dramatic productivity climbs and our team
loves the system. ****
They offer PT benefits. They were not my cup of tea
but they do offer them if you live in certain states.
What benefits do they offer..
I have an interview coming up with them and wonder how much PTO you get and what kind of insurance, disability, etc. Thanks!
Does MDI offer benefits?
Can anyone tell me if MDI offers benefits. Is the work volume still low? Is there a lot of VR and ESL work?
Thanks

Does anyone think FutureNet will EVER offer benefits? sm
Does anyone think Futurenet will ever offer any benefits? PTO, free direct deposit without meeting certain line requirements, health coverage for all? Or do you think they are going to continue what they are offering now? Has there been ANY WORD of maybe having these in the near future? Just wondering. Curious of whether or not to possibly take the position. Would LOVE it if they were planning on offering ANY, if not all, of these...
This is IC pay, and they offer no benefits whatsoever. nm
They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
Does SPI really offer benefits? The last time I checked they did not.
Thanks for any information.
Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm

They offer similar benefits and they are not as small as you think! sm
I think they are close to 500 employees now.
They also do not lose accounts. I worked for a hospital that went with them and they just renewed for the 2nd time, been with them 6 years now.
I think that MQ is losing the accounts to companies like Keystrokes because of the offshore MQ does!
Does MDI-MD offer employee status, benefits??? SM
I could not find any of this info on their website. I need to know before applying so I won't waste their time and mine. Thanks very much.
11 cpl? I guess that means we won't be able to offer benefits. nm
.No hate mail - just reality that benefits cost BIG BUCKS.
Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Looked on their website but it does not appear that they offer benefits so I am right in assuming
this is not an employee status position?
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
MDI-ers: Is Instant Text compatible with MDI's platform? Do they offer health benefits? nm
nm
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
That's strange. When I received an offer, I thought it was competitive and the benefits were good
especially medical insurance benefits for family. Maybe I did not look at them very close. Could you elaborate on what you were offered? I really thought they were decent pay and benefits.
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks
Anyone happy at Trascend? at all!!!!
I am worried now that I accepted a job with them. I just read below that all accounts are going to VR. I was told I would be doing straight typing. Why do they tell you this and flip the script once you get going good? Is this the case? Should I secure other employment and jump ship before my kids suffer? Should believe that I will make a good income? or am I delusional? My affect is cloudy and sulken now.
Only one post here on pg. 4, I think. They offer 7-9 cpl, you pay $12 to get your paycheck over-
s
Could someone please post what the benefits will be for PT (sm)
i.e. how they accrue PTOs, 401 contributions.
Will be losing the home office deduction, hoping to gain something along the way.
Mail delivery tomorrow or the next day or the next day seems SO FAR away. Info appreciated.
Actually it was...here's the quote
guidelines. There is a link on the top of each page that tells you what you need to know and one of them is not to post account information. No one is attacking you. It is just common sense that you don't go around posting account information.
Actually, I did and take a look at your quote:
And for your information, nurses are making MORE not LESS. Let's get real here.
To me, that justified my out-of-proportion post.
Again, and I quote...
none of that really matters to me. My thing is as long as the work is there and my paychecks are on time, I have NOTHING to worry about.
I think it is 30% but don't quote me on that. nm
.
I quote you......(sm)
As an aside, can you think of any better way for a terrorist organization to infiltrate?
THAT is a MIGHTY POWERFUL and very scary possibility.
Quote
WOW, if there was a doubt left in anybody's mind, that should dispel it. YOU ARE A STALKER. Your disdain for GP is quite obvious. We get it, are bored with it. I don't have the time to go look up the rest of her quote, but I would bet there is more that you left out.
it says and i quote from the packet
in front of me" if you experience unscheduled downtime you will be paid at the hourly downtime rate". for more info go toQnet. Why would I make it up?? But what does "unscheduled" mean??? I know now that my CSC archives on a certain day and I can't transmit for an hour. Maybe they will have scheduled downtime that we have to work around?? Don't know and too tired to look at Qnet todayso don't ask me.
see message and quote
_Are we supposed to shut off our phone because our CS reps are Indian?? _
Absolutely. Let them email you. Don't interrupt your productivity to struggle with yet another ESL telling you what to do.
I've been suffering the last few days from Indians calling me to ask if I take credit cards because I recently switched my home phone to a business line to get unlimited business LD. I instantly turn on my learned Russian accent and they have no clue what to do.
In my humble American opinion, make them responsible. Emails are less intrusive, take less time and are less offensive to the auricular sense, and force the originator to be held accountable for the fluency and clarity of their thought processes.
They'll get you a quote.
It's $20-something for me and $70-something for me and my two kids a week. The LPD depends on what system you are working on. 11,000 per week for eScription and 5600 for the straight typing accounts I believe.
what you say is hardly possible, I quote from your psot....sm
'Crummy quality. Do you think your clients and prospective clients don't know that you change employees more often than most people change their underwear? '
For: s/msg
How can you say that? Do you change your underwear only once a month?
don't ever quote a rate
without SEEING what it is you are agreeing to.
Dr. A might have you doing envelopes with addresses, multiple copies, etc and Dr. B might just schlep out SOAP notes.
Have an idea what you want to make an hour. After you've met with a client, figure out how much you need to do in an hour to make that rate.
And just suggestion, 20cpl will get you filed in the circular file pretty quickly.
That last is an old quote. Can't take credit. :) NM

In response to your quote: "sm)
doctors do not generate revenue, documents do.
In theory, that may be correct, but put on your thinking cap straight. If there were no doctors dictating, there would be no MTs transcribing the documents.
Name your source and the total quote
Its irresponsible of you to suggest that Obama (or McCain for that matter) wants to put records online implying they could be unprotected.
So name your source, and the entire quote and then WE can determine what the position actually is...
Sorry my quote marks disappeared. (??!!)

The rest of the quote was that we have to do multiple...sm
specialties. It is entirely reasonable to think a multispecialty MT of 30 years would have a broader base of knowledge than a doctor fresh out of medical school.
An LPN and an RN cannot do surgery, either, yet for some reason you put them above a medical transcriptionist. As for a doctor, unless you are actually performing a surgery, your skill lies in your interpretation of signs, symptoms, lab tests, etc.
A medical Transcriptionist has to use this same thought process every day. How many times to look at the past medical history to figure out a medication or look at a lab value to differentiate a diagnosis?
I am afraid you sell MTs very short.
Sorry, the quote should have been "what society has done to us."
Can't say that I am in that category.
In the papers they sent me, it says they do. See exact quote inside. sm
High Speed Internet Reimbursement
Because we require the use of high speed internect connectivity (DSL or cable modem) in the performance of your job functions, Transtech will reimburse you for the cost of your internet connection up to a maximum of $40.00 per month. In order to qualify for reimbursement, you must meet the minimum monthly productivity requirements outlined for your position.
Quote from TransTech's ad on Jobs Board
* Paid maternity/paternity leave
Get it now ???? That is age discrimination!
Apologies - my quote marks were deleted!?...nm

Years ago I heard a quote I loved:
Second marriage is the triumph of optimism over experience.
That's sort of how I look at trying to make a go of it with Transcend, having been front row center at the fall of several very pleasant small companies that were gobbled up by mega MTSOs. And I KNOW that if I give in, they will definitely not respect me in the morning.
My quote marks on "nack" didn't show up.
I know it's knack, but the OP used nack.
Actually I didn't quote a figure that I make per hour....sm
(it is above $25/hour, however) but I will say this: if the MT field is one's chosen area, then investing in it is a must. That means, instead of calling others who state they make healthy per-hour wages liars, your time would be better spent in getting as much info as possible in how that was achieved - and learning from it as well as adopting whatever it takes to help YOU. It means spending more time learning and less time bashing. It means concentration on retention of info, both old and new, to further your knowledge. It means learning what works best for you - not the next MT or whomever has posted on this board. It means taking feedback, again, without whining about it. I know of no other field where criticism isn't an essential factor - again, use it *positively* and don't let it affect you negatively! It means being open to trying new specialties when asked - you never know until you try - maybe it's just what you needed! There is a whole host of other things that you can try, but TRYING them is the key. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - and gain IS, after all, what it's all about, isn't it?

Actually I found the exact quote made on AAMTs
It is STILL possible
Posted By: gourdpainter on 2009-09-23
In Reply to: Divide and conquer............. - sm
didn't AAMT organize MTs? At least I thought they did as I joined way back in 1978?? I think it was.
This was in answer to a person saying they were trying to feed their children, having to hold onto her job, no matter what the pay was, not wanting to strike against MTing. I saw absolutely no followup comment, only the 1 in favor of AAMTs.
That is an outright untruth! We are paid 3 cents less than our normal quote, at least I am.
I can't believe some of you want these great MTs to think you are not getting paid well for VR work. That just is totally not true. I have 2 clients on VR and the pay is the same if not 3 cpl less than standard transcription and with the VR the line counts do double and sometimes triple. So, to all MTs out here - DO NOT BELIEVE THE MTSO IS NOT PAID WELL OR PAID HALF FOR THEIR VR ACCOUNTS! That just is not true.
I have line rates from many hospitals using VR and the rates are fairly high and comparable to standard transcription.
Yeah, this site doesn't accept quote marks. You have to
use an apostrophe around your phrase instead, or at least that's what I do.
