do i have to quit MQ to work for wedmedx
Help!  Do I have to quit my job with MQ to work part-time with Webmedx?
How is Wedmedx to work for and pay rate?? Thanks for info

Just curious..


I'm with you on the Wedmedx time clock. Not sure it would work out for me...too many distruptions
my day to clock in and clock out for every little thing. Thanks..
quit mq to work for webmdx
i was told they have an ER account that is busy on the weekends...
You don't have to quit. Just work the hours
you are scheduled for and don't depend on them for anything. Put your energies into the other two positions you have and more dependence on them. This job will take care of itself, because they know you can't make a living with the way they are behaving. They will either give you more work to keep you, or if you don't care what they do, the job will just disappear on its own. If you must quit, I think it would be safe to say to them that they are not meeting YOUR needs and that you must move on. I have done it several times because I have been in the same position you are in that I would call bait and switch. Some of they were glad to see me go, others wanted to keep me, but I can't stay unless I am making the money that I REQUIRE to make a living.
I quit due to lack of work. I know of 6 others who also

quit before I did due to lack of work.  There are some accounts that have a lot of work, but unless you can work on those accounts it isn't much of a help.  I had 3 accounts and with the rare exception of when there was a 2-week period of OT available, I was only getting maximum of 18 hours week.  I attempted working during all 3 shifts, working my days off and still couldn't get in my hours/lines.  I asked for more accounts, I was willing and able to work, the quality of my work was excellent and I received multiple e-mails from my STM stating how pleased they were with my work, so the excuse that I just couldn't cut it is BULL.  


I don't know what the work load is like since I left, but I do know what it was like when I was there and there just wasn't work on my 3 accounts and anyone could see the numbers on the updates and see there were accounts that had tons of work, but there were many accounts with low numbers too.  We were also told that under no circumstances would we be paid for downtime.


My current company has had some days where work may not have been available on your shift to complete your line committment, but they pay us for any downtime and we don't have to worry about trying to make it up on a different shift or our days off.  The pay is probably less than what we would make transcribing, but is a generous amount. 


I have worked for companies that were much worse than WMX, but currently work for one much better.   When someone asks how things are there I am honest in my assessment as I see them, but usually get negative posts in return about how I'm not willing to take on more accounts and my work isn't good enough, etc.  That is all BULL.


If anyone goes back and read the archives there are many similar posts to mine that were not made by me. 


If you have lots of work, have a good STM, and are happy well I'm happy for you, but because someone else has a different story doesn't mean they are a bitter ex-employee who just couldn't cut it.  


I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage.  When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%.  I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports.  I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports!  I said I quit.  I should have said F you and your mamma too:(  I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts.  I am just sick of it all.  I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now. 
How do you tactifully quit when you have been begging for work?

I was hired in at a big national. I was warned on this board about this company overhiring and running out of work,but I felt I had to give it a chance. Well, after  the first week of training was over, I have literally ran out of work everyday and requested a back up account, which I only received 4 hours pay of training to do. Now, the primary and secondary account is out of work, and in order to make any money I have to stay up until midnight to make up hours if the work is available. If the work is not available, I have to fill out a nonpaid PTO request. I have only been with the company a little over 4 weeks and I cannot believe this is happening. I barely made 42 hours last week and will have a small check yet again this pay. I have had it, I have finally learned to not put all my eggs in one basket and have obtained an IC position with another company and a full-time editing job with another company to keep a pay check coming in. My question is, how do I quit this job with no work? What do I tell them? I do not want to be rude or leave in a bad standing. How do I quit after less than 6 weeks on the job. I have to quit because my bills are backing up. Any suggestions on what to say to quit with tact would be appreciated.


Thank you all.


Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm
.
I worked for them a year ago and quit, but now I work for them again and....
I am very happy.  I could never get any work before or if I had a question I could never get it answered.  I am now on a different platform at a different hospital and am happy.  Pay is also always on time (direct deposit.)  I could care less if they are indian run, they pay me on time and leave me to my work.
I quit twice. Both times for the same reason...low/no work. nm
x
No India? Most of the work goes there. I quit last August SM
could not make any money there.
Or you could just quit and leave more work for the rest of us... Or, I know - you could sm
do your OWN WORK and stop policing everyone else?!
Well, go back to work and quit trying to stir the pot.

Quit MQ in June - still in shock with new job. Plenty of work, OT available. (sm)
I just can't tell you how fortunate I feel.  The bonus program is good and understandable, you don't have to be a math genius to figure it out.  I have 2  accounts, great supervisor, pleasant office staff.  For those of you still unhappy with your current jobs, keep the faith, there are good companies out there.  Good luck on your search. 
I felt that exact same way and quit a job that was not work out..6 weeks and 30 applications sm

later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr.  Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating. 


Just do your work and quit being a cherry picking busy body.
Maybe some people cannot understand the dictator. If you understand the dictator, then just do the report and quit whining on this board.

WedMedx
Hi NM. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend.
WedMedx

Hi -- Is anyone familiar with WedMedx Company? Are they good to work for?


Thanks.   LLD                  


WedMedX

I have worked for them for almost three years and have never run out of work even during the holidays and there is OT almost every weekend.  I was given three accounts when I started with them and just recently I was asked if I wanted to add on another account.  They recently have been getting new accounts and just bought a company whose headquarters are in Tennessee.


I wouldn't quit a decent company for seasonal low work volume.
I'd hang around and see what the New Year brings. I wouldn't say that if you were working for MQ, but I would for a company with a decent reputation. If it is still slow in January, I'd talk to my supervisor and find out what her take is on the situation.
diskriter, wedmedx
i see there is Diskriter and diskriter, inc - what is the difference and is better than the other?
Can you use your own computer with Wedmedx or
nm,
MT Productivity of system used by Wedmedx

MTs currently working with Webmedx, please respond on your productivity with the Webmedx system.  I would greatly appreciate your response. 


Also, would like response on sound quality.


Thank you very much.


Transcend or Wedmedx? Offers from both -
which one should I chose, if any? Help me, please!
Recent info on Wedmedx
Does anyone have any recent comments, pros, cons, etc, about this company, I have searched the archives but all I come up with are posts dated either 2005/2006 and would like to know some current info, such as line rate, ESL percentage, steady accounts, how are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated, either on the board or in an e-mail.  Thanks so much for any information anyone can provide.
Does Wedmedx have a time clock? nm

Can someone tell me how to pronounce the company WedMedX?
Is the *Web* stressed first?  WEB medix?  Or Web MED X? 

 

Thanks!!!

Good Lord! You want to go back to 1918, like my grandma who quit school in 3rd grade to go work
in a box factory? No, child labor laws have nothing to do with poor work ethic. It is simple enough to develop good work ethic with laundry, chores, etc. I think it is more the prosperity of the last few generations. When you have lots of money, it's hard not to give it to your kids, spares you the unpleasant feeling of watching them struggle and suffer...
Okay..HELP.. I have had some job offers, who would you choose, Wedmedx, Medscribe, or MDI-FL.
Each has its good points and bad. I just want to make a good choice and have no desire to job hop. Line rate obviously is important but so are benefits.. So help me out if you have any suggestions at all, even a different company to apply with that you think are better than these. Thanks in advance for your ideas and/or suggestions.
Yeah I was hired by Wedmedx but I screwed up.

They had even sent me the equipment. I was so excited..it was an ortho position and then I have family medical issues and just one thing after another. There was a misunderstanding. I guess I was supposed to get ahold of them with my new start date and I was waiting for them to contact me once I got all of final paperwork in etc. In any event, when I got ahold of them, they said I was supposed to have followed up by now and wouldnt give me a chance. I was so bummed. I havent found a decent place to call home since then. This was like 2-3 months ago. Good luck to you. The insurance was the main reason I was going to go there too.


Has anyone had experience with both eScription and ASR @Wedmedx? I hear a lot of sm
good things about eScription, but I don't have amnything to compare it to (except ASR at Webmedx). Anyone?
Know WedMedx,: Recommend. Good company. SM
Hi, Looking. Yes, you have to log in and out--good structure for people who'd love to earn more money if only they could keep their hands clicking. Very nice incentive scale for those who do. Good medical. Rest of benefit package slim, made up for by good earnings IMO.

Platform getting genuinely good now and continually improving; the old slowness people complains about seems to be gone.

Lots of ESL but simply not a problem for pros once familiar with dictators. Assigned accounts so you can get fast. Need more than one as they can empty out during those hours when a lot of people want to work.

Genuinely nice company to work for. Excellent support in a variety of areas. Very helpful education programs and groups to help develop skill levels, both medical knowledge and production. Study groups and monetary assistance getting certification, and more.

BTW, if you sign on, you now get to be called a Medical Content Specialist. Not sure what that means yet, but I'm newly impressed with myself anyway.

Bottom line: Good place for good workers.
Read here Wedmedx was hiring new grads. What are they paying?
would love to know.
If you had a choice..Diskriter, Medscribe, or Wedmedx, as far as benefits, pay etc..
Just trying to sort out some options. Thanks
Does anyone know if Wedmedx insurance covers bariatric surgery? nm

Any Wedmedx'ers out there. How anyone made decent money with them and how is their platform?
Thinking of applying but would like the skinny on if you can make any money with them.
True story..Over 14 yrs.exp. and offered 8 cpl by Diskriter, 7.75 cpl Medscribe and 7.75 Wedmedx.
Those were the best paying.. Let's not forgot the MTSO that want to pay 6-7 cpl for an experienced transcriptionst. No newbies!! That makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time..Only profession where you get a pay DEcrease every year.

Perhaps you all should quit (sm)
talking to "Sandy" since she can't spell the name of her own city, she probably isn't "Sandy" after all!
Just quit
I originally told them I wanted to try them out part time for 2 weeks and they agreed but weren't happy about it. I decided what the heck, I'd try FT. For the first FIVE days I had ONE report per day. They kept telling me they couldn't give me a backup until I was off QA, and couldn't get off QA until I had done enough reports!! Lose-lose situation there.

The QA was ridiculous, should have known since the head QA person was from Edix. I had a report that had many many physician errors, illness denied in one spot, added in others. I marked them all for QA and when I got it back, they said they have no way of knowing what's correct so they just put them on through!!! They did find the time however to mark the word "an" that I had put to make the sentence correct as being WRONG, even though the account was not verbatim. I had 2 other QAs come back with errors that I documented to the super that I was right about and they were changed, but all this trouble and I only did 6 reports? I shudder to think what it would be like IF they had any work!!
Quit
Sorry, but there's no other way. Been there, done that. Unfortunately, some QA people get their jollies by terrorizing other people just because they can.
I quit!
Etransplus is all about the numbers, not keeping their MTs in work. If you continue to work for them, you must have a secondary job.
Did you quit yet?
There are companies out there hiring right now even though it's right before Christmas. I had three job offers in one day after leaving. Life's too short to be frustrated.
Believe me, do not quit your other job.
A is the worst place to work
Here is what I would do. I would quit. If you know sm
anyone at Spheris who you have worked with or under that would give you a reference, just use that person as a reference. It is common knowledge that these huge companies could not tell anyone anything about a person who has worked for them. I know one girl who worked for MQ and had been working there for years and applied for a home loan and they told the mortgage company she did not work there!

Point is--figure out who from the company you can use as a reference and use it IF you want to mention you worked for them at all.

Second, unemployment benefits usually have some sort of waiting period and usually you have to be constantly seeking a job during the time you are not employed. It is not worth the hassle. In this business of MT, you can certainly find another job right away or within a week or two. It might not be the amount of money--heck, it could be better! Bottom line is, quit, tell them bye, and move on. Forget about the unemployment and get back to work as soon as possible. These states want you to jump through hoops for that little bit you would most likely collect in unemployment. I know my state has it that you can apply online now and do not have to go into the unemployment office, but many of the unemployment offices are so degrading that you don't want to go there at all.

With all the MT companies out there, you WILL find another job. Go the easy route for yourself and don't put yourself through this degrading process. Get yourself back to work and earning your money and forget about Spheris.


DON'T Quit!!!!
If your could not make line count because you were not qualified, that is their human relations department screw up, they should have verified that you were qualified. If they did, and you were, which I would assume is true because they hired you, I would let them fire me because if they do contest you application for unemployment insurance, they may be made to prove that you are in fact in the minority of their employess who do not make line count, and I think it can be proven that most of the MTs hired do not make line count at these coumpanies for a variety of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the MT. For instance, SOUND QUALITY OF WORK YOU RECEIVE, TECH SUPPORT IN A TIMELY FASHION, MORE THAN THE USUAL NUMBER OF ESLs, NOT USER-FRIENDLY WORK PLATFORM, POOR TRAINING ON THEIR PART. Unemployment is usually only refused for people who Willfully cause themselves to be fired, not for those who actually tried. Remember, it was their job to determine if you were qualified, unless you lied to them, which is a whole new ball game. In any case, a reference from a company you worked at for four months is worthless, so let them fire you and take your chances. But do offer to try harder and ask for their help in making a go of it, it will look good if they fire you anyway, and document and print emails that are pertinent to your case. Connect a printer to your PC if you do not already have one and print all their emails. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Does anybody know who was let go or quit?

One day for me too. I also quit....
because of poor communication. Never answered my QA questions or sent any feedback to me. I realize no news is good news but good grief, at least answer my questions.
no one said they were going to quit
yet either. You actually do not seem either intelligent or rational as you obviously refuse to see that there are issues and believe that if you just pump out the work that you will be okay, which is very naive as someone else had posted. You also need to remember that I am sure that a lot of other MTs have heard somewhat of the same song and dance at other companies and have seen what happened. There comes a point sometimes when things walk like a duck, if you will, that you do question seriously whether it is going to be duck.
Anyone who quit, where did you go?
If you found a good company, can you please let me know where you went!  I need to get out of here!  Thanks a lot!
