Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb
of months now. They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
Want Radiology QA work
Looking for part-time radiology QA work. Anybody know of any companies looking? Thanks.
How is MDI-MD Radiology to work for?
Is there enough work or are they overhiring? TIA
still work in radiology
Just read your post and was wondering if still working for this company and if so what company is it. Thanks
Radiology work
Does anyone know a company who will let you work on radiology if you have not done radiology for several years? I used to do it all the time, but it seems every ad says current experience. Now I do acute care and am sure I could pick radiology up again.
used to? EVERY work day? On radiology?

Best company for radiology MTs to work.
I'm looking for a company that hires radiology MTs. Thanks.
I will only work by the report for radiology and only if sm
I am paid for links and extra for specials. I type 120-200 reports a day for Keystrokes and make more money by far than when I worked for another service and when I worked for a hospital. But make sure that you are paid for links and make sure that the person who hires you and/or trains you is familiar with the account and can tell you what the average report count is. Go with a service, such as Keystrokes, that is known for radiology. There are a few out there but make sure that they have enough radiology accounts to keep you busy. There are slow periods just like with any speciality and a good service knows when they are and how to schedule for them. Do your homework. Not sure if KS is hiring but they have the most rad accounts based on what I researched two years ago prior to going with them. Good luck!
Keystrokes - Not Enough Radiology Work
I too thought Keystrokes would be my salvation when I read all the great posts about it, and accepted an offer in September. But my radiology accounts dried up, and even though I have been begging for work, I have not been offered anything steady or stable. Yes, everyone there is as nice as can be, paychecks (such as they are) are on-time, but from the time I get up until I go to bed I am lucky if I have a half-dozen reports. My first/primary account went voice before I even started it. I asked for a backup and they gave me clinic notes - I only do radiology, I have 13 years of radiology. I asked for another backup and had one for less than a month before it went voice. During that month there were more transcriptionists than available dial-in lines, so couldn't get in to work half the time. Now I've been given an account that I'm only allowed to work on weekend afternoons. I continue to ask them to find me an account. I absolutely cannot believe I am begging for work and earning nothing. I have a family counting on me, I can't go on like this. I am absolutely devastated. CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GO TO KEYSTROKES.

What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm

RadNet
I work on acute care accounts, so I can't speak for the radiology side. (SM)
The work does look like it's beginning to pick up though for acute care.
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm

Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts? What platforms do they use? Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators? Thanks in advance
Radiology.
I don't know about that particular company, but $1.25 per report is average - I'm paid $1.25 for all reports other than CTs and MRIs, which pay $2.25 per report...
mdi radiology
Weekends and Fridays are always short-staffed..but you will account hop like crazy...expect it, and you may or may not have enough to keep you busy. It's the slow time of year right now. Hope all goes well, but don't expect much.
MDI-FL RADIOLOGY - sm
MDI-FL advertizing for radiology positions - what a farce. We sit here and wait for work every day with not enough to go around. What will new employees type????? I'm absolutely dumbfounded over those ads...can't believe it. Come join us and babysit your PC ...just like they do at Transcend!!!
Radiology
Can you type on all the platforms? If so, then, by all means contact me at deb.hull@medicaldictation.com or contact the supervisor of radiology and discuss with her. Otherwise, ads are not placed if we have people who can type them. Sorry if you were confused on this issue. The object is to STAFF accounts, not over-staff. I hope this helps to clarify.
Do they have Radiology?

MDI-FL Radiology
I quit a job I loved because I was promised the dream job I have been waiting for - Radiology. We all know how hard it is to get. Well, that was supposed to be my primary at T-C Transcription. Turns out as soon as I sign the papers, everything is out the window. I got five accounts. My primary, radiology, well, by the time I sign on the chick that transcribes this account has it all done. They give me VA and four other hospital accounts. The info on the accounts is like 18 pages long. They make you do a monthly schedule that you have to email, and other BS stuff that is a pain in the ass. They also have a private email account that you are supposed to access every 15-minutes. Hello?? Who does that? Well, if you don't you have to sign back in. The job I left was gold compared to this junk place. I got my job back with the job I left, and have never been happier. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Learned the hard way.
Radiology
I work on a new radiology account for them. Not sure when that ad was posted for hiring, but I have been with them for over a year and just started this account a month or so ago.
now for radiology
now what about radiology? Are there any companies out there that will take someone who is a newbie at radiology?
radiology
can anyone please tell me about radiology? do any companies hire and train newbies? thanks
radiology
i could be wrong, but i dont believe there are companies that would hire a newbie for radiology. most are short reports, but radiology goes into deeper anatomy and physiology. it would be best to get familiar with h/p, consults, and discharges first. good luck
radiology
You would probably be better off trying to get some experience on the job in a hospital (more variety) to start. I type radiology and thats my advice. Good luck in your job search. Also, I am spreading the word, if offered a job from D&L Typing Service, trust me DO NOT accept. Horrible company.
some radiology - sm
mixed in with other clinic work, but not a lot of radiology.
Radiology
What company is best for a radiology transcriptionist? Might be looking for a change. Thanks!
I would have to say for radiology, KS is best. nm

I think they are the best out there for radiology. I have been there sm
for almost two years (wow! I did not realize it has been that long). There were problems a while back that seem to be straightened out. I never had any of the problems affect me but I from I heard it was really due to growth and changes. It is very stable now. Direct deposit -- yes. Paid -- 1st and 16th. Benefits -- Health insurance (you pay), life insurance, 401k. Plenty of radilogy work but not very flexible because of tight turnaround times. One thing if you are looking for flexible, I know they are hiring a few floaters right now for vacations, sick days, heavy volume days, etc. In the hospital I used to work, they were call per diem. KS is calling them floaters.
They were looking for a radiology MT
awhile back. Check with the HR manager.
Radiology
They overhire and then BS you to death. Find something else!
Would you consider radiology...sm
I used to do mainly ops using a C-phone. Switched to radiology, love it. E-mail me if interested.
Radiology, of course! nm
Radiology, for sure!!!
Love the fast pace
I think that they only do radiology but that's all I know. nm

Radiology pay
Thanks for anyone's input! I actually did ten test reports for the one company and figured out the pay both ways, 9 cents a gross line versus $1.25 per report, and the line count method beat the per report method for every report.
Do you do Radiology for them?
If so, how is it?
Asking too much?? Where can I go for radiology,sm
Looking for places to apply to that will hire as employee for radiology using dial-up. Mostly afternoon/evening work. Also less than 20 hrs/week, and provide equipment. Does such a creature exist?
Thanks for your input.
Radiology
Are there any good companies that pay per report for radiology. I have 23 years experience.
