internet platform for file transfer but audio is through phone line so you have to either rent or provide your own C-phone.  Pros 24 hours to get lines done each day but do have to work 2 weekend days a month and provide a schedule 2 months in advance.  Have heard several accounts are heavily loaded with ESLs.  You work as statuatory, therefore, file your own taxes.

When I got pregnant, this was with a different company and a different insurance plan (not transcription related) 8 years ago, but I did get maternity leave that was paid.  I don't think our insurance at Webmedx has maternity leave, but it does have short-term and if you are out of work 14 days that kicks in, so that may apply for maternity leave as you take FMLA, I think.  I am not totally sure, though, on our insurance or how short term disability works, but that is what I was told before when I inquired.  If out of work 14 days, short-term kicks in at a percentage of your regular pay.  You can get more details when you call.  :)  Good luck to you.  Just know that when you search you will find what you want.  Hang in there. 

and you have to use theirs.  It's a great deal though, you get a brand new Dell computer with flat screen monitor, foot pedal, etc.  It's strictly for work, nothing else can be loaded on it and no one else can use it.  Helps to make sure you are maintaining a HIPAA environment and they provide full 24/7 tech support - it breaks - they FedEx or UPS a new one ASAP.  No rental charge either - I think there may be a deposit now though.  It comes already loaded with all the software and VPN client stuff.

the story of how gleeful India is?  I really want to find some stats on how much work is actually going out of the country. 

As far as losing my job, I don't have one to lose, LOL.  Seriously this story will not affect my current employer as the outsourcing is killing my employer's business.  For every hospital that gets outsourced there is a potential contract for my employer that is no longer available.  I have worked for two hospitals that I know of on contract that have now been outsourced, one to MQ and one to Spheris.  All of the hospital employees are gone...moved on to other places.

This series the paper is doing is a focus on today's economy and how it is affecting local residents.  They have agreed to incorporate the medical info going offshore because it is a part of the transcription going offshore.  I think public outcry will do more for us than us standing up screaming and stomping our feet.  Look at what is happening to the AIG bonuses now that the public knows what is going on.  Had someone brought it to light they would have gotten away with it.  Now I don't think they dare do it.  One thing that is on our side....apparently alot of the news editing is going offshore too and this reporter is in our corner on job loss because of it.

Needing to know which companies provide computer equipment

for their transcriptionists?  I am finally able to get high speed internet services in my area and am anxious to get started working at home. 

Thank you for any information.
