You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

Does it exist
I am wondering if there is really a company out there that will train or test if someoe has not had any MT classes. I learned how to be an mt long before classes were ever required to do the job. I have experience transcribing and with medical terminology. Have done live transcribing for some doctors offices. If there isn't anything like this does anyone know how to get a job doing standard transcription?? Please help, need a job working at home. The sooner the better. I am tired of scams, I don't have the time to waste.
They do exist ;-)
I just wanted to reply to this and let you know that I am currently working for MRC and totally enjoying it. I think there was an MRC that was bought by Medquist a few years ago, but there is a Medical Records Corporation of Maryland. Hope this helps!!!
Does this exist
Does anyone offer a full-time employee status position with a 24-hour TAT rather than an assigned shift? Thanks in advance for your help.
So, IC does not really exist?
When they employ you with benefits, they think that you are owned by them. And so I thought IC meant working for yourself. That they could not demand hours, that you were a vendor. They could have a turn around time, and quality control. They don't pay benefits, taxes, SS. What's the deal? If these IC companies treat MTs and experienced MTs like this they will soon find none of us working for them. This is crazy. I wish you all luck, because I never realized there were so many controlling companies out there. Why a good manager does not control, but trusts and then the labor will do well in return. Intelligent MTs same thing! What do they think MTs are... brainless? Why our skill is worth money and is rare, good luck to them finding good people after a while...
They exist (sm)
There are companies out there who understand the true meaning of Independent Contractor. I currently am an IC. I have 24-36 hour TAT depending on how busy we are. When I accepted this position, I chose which days I would work each week and I commit to a certain number of minutes daily. If extra work is available, I choose whether or not I will accept any extra work. When I want to take time off, I notify the owner of the company in advance since I have commited to complete a certain amount of work; obviously, if I am not there that work will not be completed. I have worked with other companies who treat their ICs as employees, so those types do exist as well. I know basically from a telephone interview whether or not a position will be a true IC position or whether I will be treated as an employee.

I have had 2 offers this very week for straight OPs. One is a C-phone thing and the other platform. One is high pressuring me to take the job, the other offered me 9.5 cpl. THEY DO exist.
The problem is that so many of these gals out there think they are OP note specialists and they are not. The crapola they turn out is incredible (I see in old work, in samples, in my editing capacity because I edit OPs). I think it takes away from those of us who can do it properly. Some companies have gotten to where they won't hire a diva because the standard Basic 4 MTs are better at it. This puts you at a disadvantage, guilt by association.
Keep looking and applying for every job that says OPs in the title and you are bound to come up with something. I share your pain.
11 cpl--Nationals exist!!
Check with MDI in Gaithersburg, MD. If you are absolutely top-notch, they will pay you 11 cpl and you work 2 weekend days per month. You have until 11 PM to complete your lines (at least 1000 for full time and that may have changed) each day, after that, it is a "new day." You certainly can work from 11:01 to 7:00 AM but you don't have to. They are lovely people to work for. Pay is always on time--direct deposit. You would be a statutory employee.
You are right, but do all these things exist
I agree with you but I also agree with the poster above. I believe that person was trying to say at least this company gives a person a chance to make up for something they do not pay for. Most companies that I have worked for including hospitals do not pay for headers and footers where the demographics are mostly already filled in for them by ExText. Unfortunately that is the way the hospital pays and the CFO of the hospital is already outsourcing, so chances are these services are bidding against each other and the MT is last in line on the food chain.
I have not been with TT, but I have worked for 2 years with a reputable company where they are very nice but I saw my line count decrease amazingly. I a transcription who always made at least 1800 lines a day for years was struggling to get 900 a day. Come to find out this place had not been paying me for spaces for almost 2 years and I did not even know it. Also, I believe they have not paid me for Expanders and expanded phrases I created. It was nice to know I was not losing my skill, but awful to have been felt so ripped off by these nice people. I am looking too for a position with everything. And I would be upset not to be paid for headers and footers. The poster above however mentions tiered incentive, quality bonus (which I have never heard of anywhere) and a company which pays for expanders. I guess it sounds good to me. So, have I been conditioned to expect the worst? Maybe. But perhaps you are conditioned to be unhappy in a place you are paid for everything but headers and footers. At least they were not like where I have been ripped off for not even being paid spaces, and all my macros. Good luck to both of you! I hope you find where you are happiest :)
Because the shortage does not exist. nm

Does such a thing exist?
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a sort of temp agency for on-line work, where you get paid immediately for a day's work? I've had some personal 'drama' in my life and find myself in need of quick cash and payday at my FT job is not for another week. I've looked around the house, but so far the offers are not rolling in for my ScoobyDoo Happy Meal Collection, my half-burned candles, or my Yani cassettes.
Can someone list all the MT companies that exist?
I've tried to find a complete listing of every MT company that exists, but no luck. Can anyone here provide me with that or at least tell me where to get it? Thanks
If such a place does exist....I hope someone will
just post a name....I've left my e-mail before with a couple of valid questions and can't get an answer that way either so not sure what to do...Also, as in post above I'm wrestling with employee versus IC. I always been an employee but it truly does seem all the good jobs are as an IC..
New COO at WMX. Job created just for him, didn't exist before sm
Lots of new hiring at WMX. Me thinks JC is probably behind this, recruiting Spheris/Edix people over there. I will always thing of that scum bag service and Edix, one of the worst, ever.
Wow. Do you at least get a card or any acknowledgment you exist???
Not true. Bonuses and incentives do exist
and are paid out on time as earned. Have never had any mess-up on my per check incentives nor my quarterly bonuses.
If those opportunities truly exist in this co., then it will be a good thing. s/m
But I've been around long enough that I've heard this all before, and the statistics are not on our side. And even when the MTs DO see an improvement, it can sometimes take 5-10 years to finally trickle down to them, as they are usually at the bottom of the do-do list. I do sincerely hope that I am wrong, and that this company is truly different. Only time will tell.
Does Gibson Medical Transcription in FL still exist? SM
I have tried looking for it, but I can find nothing.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Does Transcription1 in Florida still exist? Any comments

Does Get Back Jack Productions still exist?

A typo does not make it unprofessional. Perfect doesn't exist.
We all do our best, but typos will happen from time to time. Won't matter tomorrow and certainly won't matter next year.
Unions exist to make money for unions.
That's the truth. They don't care if companies close because they can't afford to pay union wages, and then the workers have nothing.
Best Web Site...
Here's a totally silly, irrelevant, dopey question: If you had never worked for any of the nationals, knew nothing about them whatsoever, and you had to pick one company based solely on their web site - who would you pick? Remember - you know nothing about any company whatsoever....
Here's a web site for you.
Except for the site.
know nothing.

HTH.
On this site, at least. :) SM
However, I felt it was worth posting as a representative of those Spheris employees who are satisfied.
I think many Spheris employees choose not to frequent/post on online forums, since there are guidelines regarding such discussions and it's easier just to avoid the issue.
I took a look at their web site - sm
I have not complete any formal training with a medical transcription school, but have 15 years experience in acute care. Their web site says they prefer transcriptionists who have completed formal training with an accredited school. I really want to apply, but since I haven't gone to school, I am hesitant. Anyone know if they will hire based on experience, without having completed training?
new web site
what discussion forum on what new web site?
MDI-FL...is there a web site....
to go to for infomation? Thanks!
New Site?
I am thinking about making a website/blog specifically for Pro-American MTs, educating the general public what's truly at risk here. For starters, I am personally going to boycott all doctors who support/send their dictation other countries!!!
I want to make the general public aware and get their input on supporting such a boycott. Hopefully, they'll join in on the boycott too.
My money is going to the doctor who supports American jobs. I'll put my trust in those physicians, thank you. As far as the docs who send their dictation to MTSOs who send our jobs overseas, I hope they all move overseas and live happily ever after! You don't deserve to live in America!
Who's game? I may get a friend of mine to get this started? I can message/email personally to those who are interested will details.
I don't think they have a web site
But they had an ad on the big MT job board. They're in Florida.
Where is their web site??

They don't have a web site (sm)
Can I put you in touch with them?
According to their web site
The Transolutions APEX™ system is a secure, Web-enabled information management system offered exclusively by Transolutions. APEX™ reduces bottom-line costs by creating efficiencies of data management and storage at a centralized location. It also allows you to audit, access, view, edit and print transcribed documents. (Future phases of APEX™ will include electronic signature.) APEX™ incorporates:
OK, you got me to their site. I still saw nothing about it.
Could you direct me to which tab it states it on? Do they get money for all of us being paranoid and going to their website?
Web site?
Does this company have a web site? I could not find anything - was wondering how long they've been around. I lived in Peabody for years and never heard of them, not that that means anything!
Here's their web site

do you have a web site for Transcend????
Anyone know web site for
MDI-MD? I tried www.meditrans.net because I had seen that somewhere, but you can't get in without a password? I just wanted to read about them, their requirements, etc. Thanks
It's also in the TOS on THIS site.

Their web site says
you get paid when we get paid by the client, pay 0.07 to 0.8 cpl, you must submit your own invoices, a 2-dollar charge for direct deposits...I quit reading after that.
I don't work there but thatis what their web site says.
http://www.nicholastranscription.com
why not just go to their web site?

and if you look on the site....
they are lobbying for required certification to do medical transcription, which would suck all of us into membership and partnership wtih them. Blech!!
From their site, they are an
Indian company. Do you really wan to work for an Indian company?
Go to the web site for
the AHDI, formerly AAMT, and they have definitions for three levels of MTs. Whether or not you agree with their organization and what they stand for, I think that theirs are the best definitions I've seen for job descriptions in this field.

I'm beginning to think it should be renamed MTWars. That's about all that ever goes on here anymore. I wouldn't even presume that I could get a decent answer to a question on here because it seems like every question starts some sort of ridiculous childish I'm right, you're wrong debate that goes on forever and ever . . . . It's a very ugly place to visit and as of today, it's off my list of favorites.
Thanks for the web site help. sm
I could never figure it out. I applied and accepted an offer from KS!
