I have searched on this site for information on page rates.  Not very current info.  If anyone could offer their experience with page rates, especially for surgery center work, as a subcontractor. 

Also, anyone heard of Seascript or have any experience with them?  TIA

They are paying per page for surgery center work.  I have searched on this site for information on page rates.  Not very current info.  If anyone could offer their experience with page rates, especially for surgery center work, as a subcontractor. 

All I can say is good luck to anyone trying to apply there.  This same person was posting ad weeks and weeks ago and kept saying her e-mail was down, her servers went back, everything crashed.  The work was ASAP needed immediately, but she didn't have anything up and going, kept e-mailing, repeating all the problems over and over.  Gave new e-mail address and when I tried contacting that one, wouldn't get a reply for days, and then she would repeat the same stuff over and over.  Even today, she has given another e-mail address, stating upgrade services problems.  That same stuff was going on way back early April.    The work was supposed to be immediate hire but I found out there was nothing ready at all, just blowing smoke for days.

The test she had was 11 pages or more long.  Ridiculous for someone with over 20 years experience.  Give me a test file and then decide. Finally got a contract sent over but it was stuff thrown in there I have never seen in a contract,,,,,,so IC beware!!!  Saw that and said, forget it.  This was early April mind you.  

Anyone that unorganized, who takes days to get back with you, makes me wonder about getting your paycheck. 

Where do I start about this company.  I tested and was hired, did a little work for her and Dianna was so unreliable - she will have a million excuses why there is no work all of a sudden.  I think what happens is she gets behind and then gets caught up, leaves the new hire in a lurch, saying that she has had to redo the templates over and over and over and over.  Read her post, she says she had 26 surgeries - people, come on.  I'm telling you, you are in for it if you work for this lady.  Sorry to be so negative, but I saw her post and I had to act to save you the frustration and hassle.  Your hint will be just by talking to her on the phone - I should have followed by instincts and not accepted the position.

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "slow time" when typing IMEs?

TIA!

All aspects of transcription are here to stay, there will always be in-house, home-based and off-shore MTs for every speciality, pathology and radiology included.  There are just to many more doctors and patients than there are qualified MTs. 

I personally attended a community college with a 9 month MT program that included an unpaid internship in a hospital acute care and radiology department to graduate.  I would recommend finding an accredited community college who offers a remote MT course with payment plan rather than going through any of the online schools that are not accredited as a real school.  If you go the www.AHIMA.org, there is a link where you can find MT, RHIT and RHIA programs all over the country from actual colleges and find out if they offer distance education for that program as well.  Most are now about $2400 and do allow payment plans and financial aid.
