PS: Congrats on Keystrokes too, I forgot to mention that.
They are lovely people, and I do believe the blessing between you and Keystrokes is mutual!
Oh, I forgot to mention....must be flexible and have all day to devote to waiting for work.
The work fluctuates too much. Feast or famine there.
Forgot to mention
I have worked where I am for almost 10 years for a small MTSO out of California but have only gotten 2 raises in that time because she claims her lines rates are low in order for her to compete.
Forgot to mention...sm
You don't have to look up addresses or spelling of doctors' names (for one of the docs she gave me an Excel spreadsheet, but other than that you just transcribe it as it sounds). She doesn't want you to have to spend your time researching things like that that are easy for her to fill in.

They go on and on about their quick TAT..... it doesn't really matter how fast they do the work if it's not done right. In my experience of editing it, almost none of it can go straight through to the facility they way it is. I've corrected things like LASIX surgery and Foot-in-Mouth disease. What they don't know, they make up as to not leave a blank, and then claim 98% accuracy.
forgot to mention..
while working as an employee for our hospitals, she worked under the vendor for the SAME hospitals but strictly doing ER work. Really interesting.
Forgot to mention that also
I was NOT complaining about my company. I have a great company with good people. They use ExText which is very slow. So my complaint is about the server only.
Don't be so quick to judge people. The only time I will air my complaints about a company (haven't had to so far) is if I feel it will save others in the future.
Oh ya forgot to mention...sm
They told me because I was not meeting my production that I would have to pay for my health insurance on my own until I met my production. Well, how can I meet production when I never have work?! Doesn't seem fair at all.
forgot to mention
Oh I forgot to add they are suppose to be adding a new system and I do not think you will have to look all that stuff up.............I know it was delayed because of some MTs quitting on them.....me being one of them because I could not handle working my full-time job and that.
So it might be a nice fit for you. Good luck!
Forgot to mention
that the initial dictionary entry I provided comes from Merriam Webster's dictionary.
Forgot to mention
Most people don't consider a living wage to mean a wage that qualifies them for foodstamps and free lunches!
I forgot to mention....sm
that they also have holiday pay as well along with their other benefits...
I forgot the mention...
I got to rambling so much I forgot the point I was trying to make - as far as typos, grammar mistakes, etc. when it comes to the posts on this board, I think everybody really needs to lighten up. As MTs we have to be so careful in our work - that's what we're paid for and we do our best to get it right. When it comes to chatting like this, speaking for myself, I just type along sometimes and don't pay much attention to what's coming out. Sometimes I look back on the posts and see mistakes I made and cringe. Can't this be a place where our typing isn't scrutinized? If everyone has to work so hard to impress the other MTs on this board, where's the fun in that? I personally don't feel the need to impress anyone - I just feel like chatting sometimes.
the posts on this board, I have commented on this and have read a few others abo, and I think everyone needs to
See what I mean? ...forgot TO mention...!!
and I'm sure there are others inside the post!!
In addition you forgot to mention...sm
that the sky is falling and we'll all lose our jobs fears were prevalent back when PCs were introduced, and we're all still working. With the government requiring more and more documentation to be made electronically there's still a ton of work to be done and no VR system is going to have it perfect, ever.
forgot to mention the tax benefits
as well as the investment options.
P.S. Forgot to mention, my reg acct (sm)
has 4 or 5 hospitals within the same hospital system. Same doctors, same format, same everything. It's just whatever comes up w/o me actually having to change anything.
I know the feeling. I forgot to mention above
that I just came to this conclusion myself. I am so looking forward to my last day. Its only about 6 days away, not that I'm counting or anything. I have already started my new job, in training, so its a bit tiring and stressful, but still so liberating. I've already had more communication from my new job over the last 2 days than I have had from MQ in years. I nearly cried a few times, which was so lame, but it was just from people actually talking to me and being nice. Isn't that sad? I can't say that I should have done it sooner - everything in its own time, but its time for me, for sure! I wish you the same success and happiness. 
Forgot to mention, the company I went to between MQ and where I am now (sm)
was MDI-MD.
I forgot to mention, MDI will reimburse you a little bit monthly for LD.
I forget the amount, but ask about reimbursement for long distance charges. They also have accounts that are on waveplayer, so no long distance needed. Check on things.
You forgot to mention construction downturns
where skilled craftsman may be totally out of work for weeks or months.
Forgot to mention in previous post below
CBay does not have enough Indians to MT for the Q, so they signed a 6-million line contract to get SPi to start outsourcing it to the Philippines Situation will not get better!
Good point! I forgot to mention that earlier!
.
I understand your point. And I forgot to mention. I also get a bonus every paycheck
because I do not have to send a lot of reports to QA. In other words, they are constantly finding ways to reward us. Believe me there is so much work out there I have no time to even look elsewhere. As a matter of fact, I have to get to work now. But, I did not mean to sound rude. I just think to each his own. If you have a better job, good for you. I am not sorry that I have to do an honest days' work for an honest days' pay. At least I will sleep at night knowing my job is safe and the bills are paid. :)
aSorry, forgot to mention that they will contct you via e-mail when you are eligible.

When I worked for Keystrokes, I NEVER had enough work to make
even 1000 lines a day! If I had enough work, maybe, but I NEVER did. It ALL depends on your account 150%!!
Oops, forgot to say for Keystrokes. nm
MedScribe and Keystrokes -- How long does it
Thank you.
I have worked for MedScribe
and they have been a good company. The insurance is good, although the cost just went up a bit, I still find it is about the norm. Work is steady and I like my supervisor. So far so good. Karen.
I have worked for MedScribe
and they have been a fine company to work for. I like my super and my account and we have work. They do a large group of hospitals and it seems like we add new locations often. Insurance is with Aetna and is only 500 yearly deduct, that is alot less than where I previously worked, cost is lower too. All told, I have been happy. Good luck to you, hope this helps.
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
No mention of selling, just that they won't have work for for me
xxxxxx
I am never out of work. I would mention this to your manager. sm
They are hiring because they have a lot of openings and must not realize that you do not have work.
I forgot to add I work there also...

I think I work for the comp. with an M that you mention but they are the ones I made more with than
I had previously at another job..huh?? I do notice a discrepancy in accounts. On one account, I get a great line but when I tried another one of their accounts I was not making the same..not even close. I questioned it and was told that the way it is counted is per the hospital/client's contract and they set the rules. So, I just assumed that that facility got a contract that paid for less things than my main account. You can email me privately if you'd like to compare accounts. Trust me, I wont share with anyone. I have had more than my share of issues with this company and am seeking to move on. Good line count or not, sometimes it is just not worth it.
Funny how no mention is made of this when there is no work, which has been the case for much of the
There has been no mention of this for months because of no work/low work for months now.
Today might be a good to apply since there is work today.
We have had plenty of work for the past 3 days, and now getting emails to work schedule to completion and get required lines or more!
The above post is the most inconsiderate, cold-hearted, not to mention ignorant piece of work I'
Do you even have a clue as to how much one cycle of IVF costs? Try 15K to 20K and it takes on average three cycles to achieve conception...if at all. How many people do you know wait until they have $20,000.00 saved before starting a family? Get real.
Not that it's any of your business, having a child was not a mental issue for me. I initially didn't feel that it would be necessary to share the details of what led up to our infertility because I didn't see the relevance. Infertility is what it is. However, if sharing the details will prevent you or anyone else from drawing conclusions and posting abrasive half-truths, then here goes:
My husband, against my wishes, had a vasectomy when our only daughter was 3. Coming from a big family, I always wanted at least two children. Long story short: We went to Texas for the first reversal and Arizona for the 2nd (5 years ago). We spent our entire savings, which was close to 20k and both surgeries failed. My daughter prayed for a baby brother or sister every night. I had this tremendous burden of guilt because our infertility was self-inflicted. I knew she would never be a big sister or even an aunt because of our selfishness.
Infertility in and of itself is traumatic enough, but when it's self-inflicted, the guilt can be overwhelming. At least it was for me.
There, now you have the facts. However, if you find it more entertaining to post over-the-top fabrications about my complete lack of control and severe mental issues, as you called it, knock yourself out.
I have been pretty honest about my personal life and would appreciate it if you could just answer 2 simple questions.
(1) Dou have any children?
(2) In your opinion, do you feel that insurance companies should cover the cost of elective abortions?
You can just answer yes or no. I'm not posting anymore on this thread so you won't get any arguments from me.
I worked for 2 other nationals before Keystrokes..(sm)
I can tell a HUGE difference in the personal attention they pay to their employees. I felt like nothing but a number at the big nationals and I finally feel like I am actually a person at Keystrokes, one who counts. I also believe they will do everything in their power to keep it that way too.
The ones I referred to never worked for Keystrokes. sm
They worked for the hospital and then as ICs for the hospital. I did not mean to upset anyone. If you were a mother/daughter team at Keystrokes, and I think I know who as there were 3 and now only 1, then you were well-liked and appreciated. I know for a fact that the owner speaks very highly of all three of the mom/daughter teams, even the two who are gone, saying that she wished they were back.
These two MTs never worked there; they were from the hospital and had never worked anywhere else!
I would never intentionally offend anyone and certainly did not mean to do so by the post. The two who chased Keystrokes off the account were proud of it.
Has anyone worked for both Axoltol and Keystrokes?
I'd just like some feedback, pros/cons as you see them. Feel free to e-mail privately.
I'd go with Keystrokes. The best place I have EVER worked for!!

Anyone worked at Keystrokes, Good, Bad???
Just wanted some information about Keystrokes to see if anyone works there and likes it. Thanks.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
That many keystrokes worked out to 925 lines +/- a day. You have to stick to 8 hrs a day, though. St
,
Keystrokes does. I have worked on ortho only for them for 2 years. sm
I have my own docs and my supervisor is great. She leaves me alone to do my work and as long as I do it well and on time, she leaves me alone. I prefer this, so it is a great job for me. I average 14,000 lines a pay period and make 0.09 per line. I do use their insurance, which costs me $204 per month, but it's only me. So far, so good with the new insurance!
I'm not sure if they are hiring but it would be worth trying.
I worked for Keystrokes for a couple of years...
I was very happy with the company. I didn't have a problem with them, just needed to take a leave for a while and ended up starting with another company a few months later. It's been about a year and a half since I worked for them, but at that time there was plenty of work. I had no problems with supervision. I really don't have anything negative, but again it's been a while, so I don't know what the workload is like these days. Hope that helps - good luck!
anyone work for Medscribe
Good bad any help you can give. Co I just switched to is getting crappy fast. Tired of playing games...Any info appreciated like platform, phone or internet, you know the standard stuff
MedScribe ER work
keep my line count around 225-250 per pay period, with the bonus they pay that equals about $19 - $20/hr. I previously worked for a much larger company typing acute care work and never made that much. They are nice people and are bringing on more work. Maybe typing ER work is not for everybody but I have bills to pay and enjoy the steady pay.
Medscribe, anyone work there..sm
or know anything about them? I don't care about insurance as I already have that. I'm mostly interested in how much they pay and if they have enough work. I've been an MT for over 11 years and do not want to waste the time taking the test to find out they only pay 6 or 7 cpl. 
Any other info about platform, QA, etc. would be much appreciated. Basically anything anyone knows and would be willing to share other than insurance info would be great.
I work for MedScribe
I started at MedScribe 3 months ago and things have been going along quite well. The people seem to care and I like my account, this is such a change from the rather large company I left to work for MedScribe. I just signed up for the healthcare benefits, all of the paperwork arrived as promised and on time. I hope that helps.
I work at MedScribe
I would normally give you a thumbs-up for this company, as I have always liked working for them, but I've been having a real problem with a lack of work lately. I'm not going to speculate on the reason because I really have no clue. That's about all I can say for now, as if there is a lack of work, the other info is moot, IMO.
