MediVoxx?
Does anyone have feedback on MediVoxx?
About MediVoxx
Never went with them myself, but from another MT, very nice people to work with, low rates to start, and she was editing voice recognition reports. That's all I know.
Medivoxx
Does anyone have information on this company? I have an interview tomorrow with them. I am a new grad, and I really would like to get a position. Thanks.
Medivoxx
I know there was a posting recently about this company, but I cannot seem to find it now. The position they have is for a MT/editing position using VR. I am not too familiar with this, so if any one has info on it I would appreciate it. One of my concerns is how many lines per day doing editing VR work produces? Another question I have is if anyone else out there does VR work, is it worth it? Thank you all.
MediVoxx
Does anyone have any new info on MediVoxx? I recieved an application from them, but I am not sure if I want to do it or not. Please if anyone has some recent info let me know! Thank you!
Sincerely,

I applied with them several weeks ago. They tell me every week that they hope to get more information to be by the end of the week. Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any information on them.
Thanks
Medivoxx
Yes I have had that experience with them. I bugged them every day and I got put off every day. They take forever. And it is true they do a lot more testing after the initial test. I ended up failing one to the later tests they gave me.
Medivoxx
I've been waiting on them 3 weeks to respond to my application ... haven't even tested yet! Supposedly they're short-staffed - which is really depressing.
Medivoxx
The application requires the applicant to fill in "compensation desired (be specific)". I was receiving 6.5 cents per line. The lines were not character driven but rather carriage return determined. I know I would make a lot less at this rate with a character driven line so I would want to ask higher than that, and I do know there is usually a different rate for editing. Can you tell me what the going rates are for each type of transcription, and what I should realistically put here. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

Does anyone or has anyone ever worked for Medivoxx? I was thinking of applying there. I know I have heard you start out at 3-1/2 cpl at training for VR and then after training it is 5 cpl for VR. I think that is all they do is VR. If they paid 5 cpl for VR would it be worth it since it isn't straight transcription?
MediVoxx
Does anybody know about MediVoxx? Anybody ever worked for them or know somebody who has worked for them?
I am testing with them and I am just wondering how they are to work for. Is the pay on time? Is their pay scale fair?
I checked the archives and a lot of people have asked, but there doesn't seem to be anybody who has worked for them that has responded. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Is this Medivoxx? nm

That sounds exactly like what I am doing right now. I have gone through that whole process. I turned in my 12 dictations yesterday and they went to QA. I kind of thought the same thing, but these notes were dated 08/2003, so they were very old files. If they would have been dated Sept 2009 then I would have been more suspicious.
He said as soon as he heard back from QA that he would send me back an email hopefully with an offer.
So, did you do the last set of dictations? I had 12 total. 8 wav docs for one doctor and 4 wav/4 dss for another one, but the wav/dss files were the same, so it ended up being 12. The samples they sent to me seemed inconsistent. I didn't like that. They also don't follow BOS, which I don't like. I'm still hopeful though.
Any experience with MediVoxx? nm
Info on Medivoxx
I do not currently work there, but I can tell you what I know.
You have to transcribe one dictation and fill out a long application. Then, take two more tests. One is for grammar and the other is spelling and definitions, etc.
After that, you get a phone interview. Then you have to sign agreements and type more files for them, which can take up to two weeks (without pay.)
Then, if you qualify, you are hired as an entry level MT editing voice recognition documents. The pay is 35 cpl for one month or until they feel you are ready.
At that point, you become a one pass MT/editor for VR files, starting at 5 cpl. They do give raises (up to 75 cpl) and bonuses.
I'm in the final process of being hired right now.
Anyone currently working for Medivoxx?
Is anyone currently working for Medivoxx out of Louisville, KY? Thanks!
Any info on Medivoxx
Anyone working for Medivoxx? I checked the archives but there really was not that much info to go on. I have never done VR so I would like to know about this before accepting a position. If there is anyone working for them how many lines do you edit in a day?. The pay is low 3.5 to start while trained. Is this worse than just typing? I have done straight typing for 5 years. I have lost all my physician accounts to India and then worked for a hospital for only 5 months being laid off due to shortage of work, so I do not want to play around with another company. I want to stay put for a while.
Thanks for all information.
is there ANYONE who works for medivoxx???
I posted a message on the main board about the QA at my company and I just feel like I am going to get canned. Like I explained in that post, the QA is very controversial. Some do it this way, some do it that way, and I never get a clear answer on anything. I also pull up completed reports as samples and will follow it that way, and it still gets marked wrong. The QA supervisor isn't really any help. I just feel like they are looking to get rid of people now because their workload is really slowing down. But ANYWAYS, even though I have 7 months of experience now, I am thinking maybe I should just get a job at a company that is known for hiring newbies such as Medivoxx or Focus Infomatics. The company I am at now is just making me feel like I am not doing a good job. So any info on these companies or any others would be appreciated. Thanks. 
Any info on Medivoxx?
Does anyone know anything about this company?
Medivoxx is offshoring
This once wonderful company has been taken over by aliens, and I only wish it was the outer-space kind. On behalf of those currently being bent over and the clients that are being lied to, do what you do best my friends. Spread this news like wildfire. 
Did anyone do the MediVoxx test?
Did anyone test with this company or know anything about it?
I worked for MediVoxx
I worked for them briefly about 3 years ago. Although I do not remember the transcription portion of the test to be that long, I do remember that there were so many steps in the process that I never thought I was actually going to start work. I got done with them rather quickly because their VR software was the worse I have ever seen. I ended up having to retype the entire reports over. No way was I going to get paid a low VR rate and have to retype the entire documents. Although things may have changed since then, you may want to keep that in mind.
Lartech Healthprime/MediVoxx
Has anyone ever worked for Healthprime or MediVoxx?
Well, Medivoxx's HR people need to be fired
it sounds like. That's CRAZY. No company in my 20 years has made me jump through hoops like that & transcribe that many 'test' documents. You can tell from a couple of reports & maybe a multiple choice questionnaire if the candidate has experience or not - not to mention checking references... I guess I will cross Medivoxx off my list until they learn how the MT hiring/testing process works.
Anyone here working for Medivoxx that can share experience with them? nm

Encompass of WI
Any info on this company greatly appreciated. Cannot seemt to find anything.

Has anyone heard Encompass? They seem too good to be true so what's the deal here? Thanks in advance.
Encompass
Regarding Encompass, it depends largely on your specific manager and account assignment. Mine rarely concerned herself with my specific strengths and weaknesses, and often mandated overtime without, of course, asking. Also, you have to watch the paycheck to make sure it is accurate; mine was often lacking, despite the fact that I was very specific and accurate on my timecard. Another thing, my manager/account was regularly adding new dictators and worktypes for the weekend, at close of business on Friday, when no one was around to answer my questions. They tell you that you can set your own schedule, but that's not always true, either. Good luck.
That is Encompass. n/m

When I was there, as far as QA rating, the benchmark expectation was for 99.5%. When I had ratings of only 99%, the manager said that it could be improved, but that 99% was acceptable. I guess everyone's experience is different. But, I felt like rented equipment when I worked at Encompass.
Encompass
I'm glad to hear this. I am scheduled to start with them in a week or so. What are your accounts like?
Anyone have anything to say about Encompass?
TIA

I am at Encompass (very part-time), very happy. Nice people, honest, pay is very much average (higher rates for p.m. and weekends). Don't have their insurance, but it's pretty good, and you can qualify pro rata at only 30 hours a week. Geedub

I worked there for about 4-5 months in 2007 when they took over my hospital's transcription. They weren't a good fit for me. You have to stick to a pretty strict schedule, have to work your hours, and expected make up missed hours if there is no work during your shift which on my accounts was a lot. Very little communication. Big push for VR. Average pay based on the time of day you work. Very detailed account specifics.
Encompass
They do our overflow work and are a very good company. They use ExText. Heard they pay well for quality work and are choosy about who they hire.
Encompass MT Inc.
Anyone with any info on this company? Did a search but nothing came up.
Encompass MT Inc.
Thanks for that info!
Encompass
As of 2006-2007--No, they don't offshore. They do subcontract with other MTSOs. The owner of the company does not allow MTs to know each others email addresses, thereby keeping them from communicating with each other. They seem to revere the QAs, tech department and account managers much more than the MTs. Some of the account managers are quite bossy and QA can be quite condescending. IMHO, at least one MT who I know was treated like rented equipment while working there. They often run out of work on primary accounts, while they have mandatory overtime if the workload demands it. If you meet their specifications, they do offer benefits for part-timers. If you've been there less than 90 days, you may be required to work all holidays; if you've been there at least 90 days, you can request which holidays you would prefer to work. However, if there's no work available on that holiday, you don't get paid for it. If you have requested a certain day off and your manager approves it, keep all documentation, for you might get a call asking why you are not working; at least one manager there had a habit of forgetting such approvals.

I have been through the same issues but have not been able to find another job that is any better than where I am at now.
I applied with Encompass and was told that they do not hire New York state residents due to the high cost of doing business in our state. I had spent the time filling out their application and completing their testing before finding this out, so I just wanted to save you the trouble if you are in NY. I wanted to forward that e-mail to the governor of New York becauseI was so angry that where I lived would prevent me from getting a good job!
Encompass
Does anyone have any information on Encompass (good or bad)? Thanks!
Encompass
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of working with Encompass out of Wisconsin or Sten-Tel out East. . . good, bad or inbetween? I'm very comfortable with the Escription platform which both use along with straight dictation and am interviewing with both.
Thanks.
Encompass
Can anyone please supply current information about Encompass in Wisconson?
Encompass
I worked there over a year ago, so this is not really recent info. I quit because I did not like the strict schedule/time clock that they require. If that's not a problem for you, they are a good company. The trainers and support staff are really nice. My accounts would be out of work and I had to jump around from account to account. But that seems to be everywhere. I think they push VR pretty hard too.
All in all, it seems that people rarely post on here about them so maybe that means their transcriptionists are happy and not venting on this board.
Encompass
Anybody with current information about Encompass? Thanks a lot.
encompass
same here. i received about 4 emails from them and then all of a sudden, it was like they vanished off the face of the earth. no email or contact whatsoever. very wierd!
