Transolutions info...sm
Please understand that I have to be careful what I say so that I don't divulge private information. However, I would be happy to share general information because, so far, I have found them to be a good company to work for, and they are looking for experienced people.
Their pay scale is broken down to an hourly rate based on the number of lines you produce on average in an hour. They have pay levels that range from 0 to 5. At the top pay level, the pay ranges from $19-21 per hour.
Their accounts are varied, but you should assume you would be placed in an acute-care environment. I have a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary account. My primary is acute care as is my secondary. My tertiary is primarily ER.
The training is done long distance and is designed to bring you on line within a few days to a week. It encompasses company protocol first and then account specific protocol for whatever accounts they assign to you.
You will be working in either Medrite or Medtype. I believe both are DOS formats, which I prefer anyway.
Info on Transolutions
Any recent comments about Transolutions? Last info I can see is 2004. Thanks.
Transolutions info
Most accounts are still on the DOS system. They're rolling out new accounts slowly onto the new internet system. The pay is good, benefits are good, time off is generous. QA pays bonuses for accuracy and low amount of work going on hold. Six paid holidays (only need to work 3 one year, the other 3 the following year and only 4 hours each holiday at time and a half plus holiday pay), paid sick time, paid personal time, and 2 weeks vacation per year. In a year and a half, I'll bump up to 3 weeks vacation. Good people in home office. Lots of people on this board have blasted them (and me personally for expressing my positive experience with them), but the company has been very good to me, and last year I made more money by a long shot working for them than I've ever made in my life.
Transolutions - any info? nm

Good or bad info on Transolutions
I am thinking of trying to get employment with the company Transolutoins out of Lake Bluff, Illinois. Does anyone know anything good or bad about them? Now it is saying they start out paying 11.18 to 12.36 cents per line for editing and supervisory positions. It almost sounds too good to be true. Does anyone work for them that could help me out?
Transolutions? Any info appreciated sm
did a search and cannot find any recent info. Do they pay for spaces? One older post indicated they did not. Also interested in Star team info. Thanks!
Does anybody know what Transolutions hourly pay rate is and any info.. sm
I see that Transolutions is hiring and they are paying an hourly rate. Am currently looking for a new job and was curious as to the rate, also any info. on the company. I did an archives search but all posts are a year or so old. Thanks you.
Any recent info on Transolutions? 29 days PTO? sm
I am very interested in working for Transolutions again. It's been many years and I'm currently with the Q. I went on the Transolutions website and it looks like I can accumulate a total of 29 days of PTO after only three years - granted 6 days for holidays, 3 for personal, a week for sick, etc...? This certainly beats MQ's 18 days PTO after (I believe) five years of employment.
Does anyone know how Transolutions tuition reimbursement works? Is it for a specific school, field related and/or specific classes? I'd also like to further my education but can't afford to and MQ doesn't have any type of tuition reimbursement so that would be nice to have.
I already know about Transolutions' QA program and how they will deduct if you don't meet a 97% score??? - can't remember exact percentage but I didn't have any problems with their QA so not too worried about that.
I'm looking to do radiology only.
TIA.
Thanks for the info! Would you answer
another question, please? Do they fire you for not making a line count when the work is not available?
see message for info
I have been here for several years. Recent change in software - which is not MT friendly AT ALL, can't even get the programs to do stuff the old one did and can't check our line counts throughout the day yet. Supervisors are great though, flexible. Pay is average to other companies. Communication is not very good between the different departments and sometimes get different answers from different QA people. Overall, they seem about the same as other companies I've worked for in the past - they all have their issues. Pay is on time, direct deposit, and accurate. I have heard that the insurance is very reasonable. I would give them a try but not quit MQ until you know its a good fit - they are not for everyone.
Thanks for the info! Just got message
that C-phone coming tomorrow, so hopefully will be starting soon, and have worked for a horrible company previously so looking forward to a place to call home.
Thanks for the info! - No message inside
: )
Or dont offer unasked for info. Only answer

companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.
YOu gave Colleen no constructive info. "Run" is not an answer to the question of how a company
:+
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!

Transolutions
I have been with Transolutions for over 2-1/2 years and cannot speak highly enough about them. They have stuck with me thru thick and thin due to personal health issues; I am averaging $18-$20 an hour; the medical insurance is the best I've ever had; they spend time and money helping MTs get proficient and productive and grow in their careers, etc. They are offering a referral bonus through September 21 for anyone I refer and is hired. If you are considering this company, please drop me a line, and I'll answer all your questions. I would appreciate the opportunity for the referral. Thanks! Donna The website is www.transolutions.net
Transolutions...
Well, my dear, MQ has thousands of MTs, some of whom have been there over 10 years - but it doesn't sound like they do anything right!!!!!!!
If that company is a good fit for you, more power to you. But, just because someone else didn't like them doesn't mean it was a "personality conflict" or "Degree of professionalism" issue.
If you really want referrals, you might try being a little less condescending.
Transolutions
If anyone is working for this company, please email me and tell me what it is like to connect with them, etc. thanks
Transolutions
Been there almost 2 years - very happy. I am former MQ'r, always astounded when MQ/Spheris types say they think there is no better place to work than those 2 crap companies. Transolutions has paid time off, (I'm part-time and accrue hours). They have paid holidays off -- you will be required to work holidays and alternate, i.e. you work July 4, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day one year, then the next you work New Year's Day, Labor Day, Christmas -- I may have mixed them up, but in any event, you get paid holiday/bonus for working holidays, they PROVIDE your equipment even if you're part time, they reimburse your phone line, they have you set it up with a specific phone company -- I forget its name. But they do pay it. If you are FT, they have health, dental, I believe life ins. They will reimburse for AAMT CMT exam after you pass it (Full time). Also, referral bonus if you recommend someone and they get hired. Discounts on all reference books/materials you buy through them (I think 40%), you have mandatory 1 weekend day with weekend shift differential, and that's just off top of my head. Oh, cash bonuses on your anniversary every year you are with them, which go up each year. Their standards are higher than anyplace I've ever worked, but that is a good thing. I think quality should count for more than it does with previously mentioned MTSOs. I think you would like them. Oh, and PAID training for 1 week before you actually start first official paid day with them. A guaranteed line rate during probationary period. Also, plenty of work. Also, you are considered FT at 32 hrs/wk which means you are eligible for full complement of bennies. Let folks say Spheris, MQ are as good as it gets -- that just means more GOOD MT/MLS jobs for the enlightened among us! Go for it!
Transolutions QA
I just left the company for various reasons, but I did take umbrage with the recent QA changes. I have been an MT for less than a year. The lowest QA score I received was a 95, and I was horrified at that. It does make me feel a bit better to know a person with 20 years experience was having a tough time, too.
Transolutions
Transolutions..Thank you..sm
In spite of the fact that I quit them after 3 weeks, they did pay me the signon bonus. I appreciate that!
Transolutions
Does anyone have any information on Transolutions? I remember a while back hearing that the platform was a little outdated. Has that changed at all? Any other opinions?
TIA! 
Transolutions
The platform is not a little outdated, it is a lot outdated! The office staff treat you like you are in kindergarten. Also, the benefits are good but are very expensive. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.
Transolutions
Is anyone working for Transolutions who has been affected by the recent change to QA guidelines, on-hold percentages, and possible resultant lower pay?
Transolutions QA
Yes, I have been affected. It is scaring me. I have been a 98%, 99% employee for 5 years and now I feel like I am under the gun. Also, have you been having a problem with no work? The place has not been the same since Cynthia Jones left.
Transolutions QA
Yes, I am being affected by lower pay. It is very demoralizing. I am thinking of going back to school, because transcription has become a dead end job.
same here for Transolutions
I am experiencing the same thing. In all of their mailed info about this they said the AAMT standard calls for a higher percentage of documentation to be reviewed for more accuracy for QA. My last QA (93%) was TWO reports. That sure isn't a higher percentage. With the higher standards, of course your QA would go down. Plus, don't they use that current QA score for more than one pay period? Accurate and fair tracking of all of this seems impossible to me. There are other companies out there. I know that loss of 3 weeks paid vacation is lousy. You would be starting over, but maybe it would be worth it to work for a company with an established history of consistency in their guidelines, etc. My pay was way down from what it was also. Does not seem fair to me. Have you emailed, written and called? Does it do any good??
Transolutions
The thing that worries me is the changes in personnel. I have had 3 or 4 different QA people in the last couple of months. People seem to be coming and going. This last time I had a great QA, the time before that it was 96%. I was QA'd on a secondary account I am not all that familiar with. The response from the personnel who answer the phones is not very nice sometimes, either.
Transolutions
I agree. Nice people, but not worth it.
Transolutions does
www.transolutions.net
transolutions
Some of their accounts require DSL now. I think most are in the process of switching over to that as a matter of fact. May be some old-timers on old accounts still on the old system though.
Transolutions
Does anyone have info on Transolutions, especially doing Radiology reports? Do they calculate pay for Radiology reports with lines or per report? Also, is it difficult to meet QA standards? TIA
Does Transolutions? (nm)

don't plan on making a fortune. I know there are those who will say they do but you'd better be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort into it to do that.
Transolutions
Nerve-wracking experience to me. Had 11 yrs experience when I started with them,now working for another much less stressful MTSO (16 yrs).In addition to binders described, they mandate you read their bi-weekly, lengthy and -- sorry, can you say B-O-R-I-N-G -- medical newsletter in your downtime (JMHO. Way more info than most MTs need or want re: MT bios (who cares how **Jane** who lives in Indiana got into MT work or who her role models are), but more pertinently there was medical info that went way beyond what is relevant to MT'g -- which I know some may find interesting. I found keeping up with mounds of acct. specifics to pore over, company style guidelines, newsletter in downtime, and reviewing corrected reports also in your downtime could be stressful, time-consuming and,in the end, up to you if it's worth it. Very rigid chain-of-command. Don't mistakenly ask wrong person a question, you will be referred to the RIGHT person -- if you can keep track of who they are -- with the admonishment not to ask wrong person again (Let lightning flash and thunder clap here. You may thrive on it. If you have a life outside of MTing, look elsewhere. If you love MTing so much that doing it in off-hours is a privilege for you, go for it. This was case when I worked there -- so can't say what it's like now. Sorry, know post is long -- you wanted detailed experience -- here you are!
Transolutions
My thread was deleted. I guess it was because it was on the Main Board instead of the Company Board, so I'm trying again. I was inquiring about how things are currently at Transolutions. Yes, I did a search on prior threads. I had heard that they discontinued providing equipment and paying for downtime. That is a biggie for me as having no work is no excuse for not paying my bills. Anyone know? Thanks!
Transolutions sm
Hard to meet line count.
TRANSOLUTIONS, SORRY!
TRANSOLUTIONS!!!! Any info, please!
Transolutions
Anyone know if they've updated their platform? I always read that it was pretty outdated? Also wondering about starting rate of pay, benefits, etc. Sounds like they offer good time off. Thanks!
