In Reply to: Thanks so much to both of you for answering my questions... - steph1
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I, too, currently work for MQ, have been with them approximately 10 years. Kind of scared to make the change, but am tired of working for peanuts and heard MDI paid quite well compared to most. I do love my main account, but don't care for the cesspool I have now and then.
Do you still work for MQ and how many hours? I ask because I figure I will work for MQ until I feel comfortable leaving and working for MDI. Do you have to submit a schedule of what hours each day you will be working? I understand you have to have a minimum of 700 lines or 3500 a week, but just wondering how specific you had to be with exact hours you would be on.
You said Bayscribe seemed outdated. Is it difficult to learn and do most of the accounts have an automatic ADT feed or is there a lot to fill in? And you said you get paid for filling this info. in, too? That would be great. There is on account that I have with MQ that I have a lot to fill in and it so frustrating not getting paid for this.
Well, I guess that's about it. I will just wait to hear from the recruiter. Sorry so long and thanks for answering me.

Okay. I found my old e-mail
from my friend who left our hospital to work for them. I do believe it is the same company. It is the same name and she was recommending them to us. She left a year ago and she still works there.
From what I gather, they are very flexible and very laid back except they do want you to work at least 1 weekend (both days) a month and they will pay you extra for that. They also have give aways like TVs, vacations stuff like that. This is what the recruiter said to me about a year ago when I looked into it. It might have changed. I stayed with the hospital because it paid better. The account my friend is on has lots of ESLs but she is staying anyway because she needs that flexibility she did not get from the hospital.
I though unions not legal in some states (right-to-work states) nm

Not here. Server may be down.

Sometimes it is the server
Other times it is your internet service provider. We have 4 computers on our network and no one is allowed to upload or download when I am working otherwise my speed goes to a crawl.
TT server
Yes, yes, a million times yes! My ISP checked my connections and DSL speed is great, all else fine. It's the TT servers; TT has sent multiple emails about server and connection problems. It has happened in 3 hospitals I've worked for and working from home, but happens many times more with ExText. I just save my reports often, recover them, or whatever it takes. It's annoying but nothing new.
Which server?
nm
server
Just happened a little while ago. This has been a bad week for technical issues.
Server was down, but
nm
Maybe due to server
I'm on #3 server. Maybe #1 server is slower/different.
Server down?
I think it is mditrans.com but the server appears to be down. The full company name is Medical Dictation Services, Inc if that helps. This is the MDI in Maryland.
Our server is not down
I work for MDI and our server is fine.
How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the
nm
No problems with the server
I get steady work and my insurance (United Healthcare) is only $17/week for full coverage. Best rate I could find with any national. I have a flex schedule at Medware and work 32 hours a week. They are a great company to work for, very happy for the past year. Big change from my previous service. Plus my team leader is nice.
Especially all of the accounts on their own server...
Ichart to their private server, my line count dramatically decreased. I am sure they continue to charge the facilities for the Ichart line counts, but pay us for the line counts provided by their server, which are significantly less. That is when I knew I could no longer work for Outsourcing Scandals, Inc.
Transtech Server
What happened here? A short time ago there was nothing but glowing reports about this company, now almost daily server problems and no work???
Maybe it depends on the particular server - how many are using it?
nm
Transtechers - is the server down AGAIN?
Tried to sign in to work and I can't get in. Haven't got an email.
I think to much on TransTech server now n/m
.
I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)
you could manually type it in and resend me the info. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
They also were not paying for using the "normals" available on their server, even though...sm
they certainly encouraged everyone to use them, their training staff stating "use those normals, girls, get those lines. We want you to make that money." Right...get those lines for OSI. I found their accessing their server very slow.
Server down more than it is up. You have to spend a ton of time with the
It sucks totally!
good luck - server is down more than up.
Insurance is very expensive, especially when you don't work because the of their server problems.....the unpaid work becomes more onerous over time and if you complain, they invite you to quit. And, of yeah, the Indians take most of the normals, sometimes all of it.
Any RAD MTs work on Client Server
TIA!
Depends on Extext server

Transtech Server Issues
I understand there are a lot of problems with Transtech's server. Going down almost on a daily basis?
Happened at my company a while ago; server down and they
I have a sneaky feeling happens more than they like to admit. I am truly sorry for TTers. This business is going down the commode.
All files are stored on a server.....sm
Not on the internet; however, it is a web based browser and you must have a username and password to log into the server to have access to any files.
The server is not the internet. The internet IE browser is just a tool to use to access the server.
I hope this helps clarify things a little better.
I think it depends on the MTSO server.
NM
Another good thing to ask is reliability of server. sm
Some companies have frequent down time. It is good to know if this happens and if so, will you be compensated for it or expected to make up time lost.
I not able to send an email to you, info not available on server.
nm
sounds like etrans- they also slow the server down
so that you dont type too fast. I had someone tell me that in the office before. I am normally not slow but could never get over my required rate no matter how hard I tried.
It's not being done here in the states!
..
Unfortunately some states do allow this! sm
Depending on the state in which you live and/or the state in which the company resides, mandatory OT is permissible. Isn't that infuriating? Also, laws state that if you do not follow their mandatory OT ruling, it could be legal grounds for dismissal by the company! Ah, our justice system in the US these days - isn't it just wonderful? NOOOOOOOOOOT!
Yes, we have had server issues this week. Dictaphone engineers are working on it.
Have you never worked anywhere else where this has happened? This used to happen in-house where I worked too, at least once or twice a year. Machines do need upgrading and repair from time to time. And just for clarity...they did send out emails about the server issues and also about Jesse leaving. Get over it already. geez.
I use Meditech with them, but it is Client Server version. Not the old blue screen! sm
I actually like the program and I really like ShortHand but I converted my abbreviations from another program into there so I did not have to start over.
It doesn't matter where the server is, it is still a database and accessed via the internet
I have worked on Escription and also have IT experience.
OSI not hiring in certain states
Has anyone else ever had OSi contact them back to say they are not hiring MTs from their state? Does this seem like discrimination? Isn't that kind of like we aren't hiring Caucasians at this time?
OSI not hiring in certain states
I got the same message. I live in California.
OSI not hiring in certain states
Well that makes no sense that they don't hire people in California. I doubt they have to be licensed in EVERY state. That would cost them a TON of money, but wait...
They DO outsource to India. What does that tell you? huh
3 states away? try to be realistic
nm
Is OSI still in business in the States?
xx
that's fine if the CP states that, but...
NONE of mine state little details like that. Bottom line, you're darned if you do, you're darned if you don't!!
exactly what my post states sm
I said you had to learn a new skill set if you wanted to ever make money on VR, and explained what that new skill set was (manual skills). Any MT can do VR, but a MT who has no desire how to learn those new skills will never be proficient on it, and will keep coming here complaining about how little money they make. And if your pay is too low to make any money now matter how much you learn, then that means it is time to switch companies, because either way it is nobodies fault but your own. They are companies who pay decent livable wages. You are pretty much responsible for what you allow people to pay you. If you don't like it you go somewhere else. If there is nobody offering the pay you want then you are most likely in the wrong career and should go back to school, and began in a field that has higher pay. That is the way it works in a capitalist-free market.
Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.
nm
Do you think nationals have licenses in all 50 states? Not. nm
Take a look at the reply above... that states don't take this the wrong way but...
Com'on talk about a smack in the face. Proofing my reply? What is that?
Sounds like critisism.
No, I like the idea of uping my line count by 40%. Trying to use the Expander was good advice. I did not knock that at all. I think I said thanks for the advice on that. My reply was solely for the person who proofed what I wrote.
No critisism towards an expander : )
In most states, if you voluntarily quit
even if you know you are losing your job in X amount of days, you cannot collect unemployment. If the people at Heartland want to be able to collect unemployment, unfortunately, they need to stay.
they hire in all states; depending on what
state you are in, determines if you can be SE if that is what you are looking for.
I actually meant this generally, I do not think it's all that different in other states....
from what I've been reading and hearing from others. My husband and I have separate insurance each with our own employer and pay a fair rate of 100 a month or so and they are very good plans and not that HMO garbage. BUT we don't have kids. We have an excellent income and live on the east coast too but that would not make it *okay* for me if we had to pay those rates. So, right now I'm thinking of definitely nixing that whole having a family idea we've been discussing. I was hesitant anyway because I feel this world is just not a nice safe place anymore. So this may just seal the deal for me. What a country, huh? : (
The recent job posting states
discretionary match, which is why I was wondering if anyone got the info yet.
As far as the PTO, the handbook has a chart, as I recall the first increase is after the second year.
Their ad states cable or DSL, I think, but once in a pinch sm
I used dialup when my cable was out. It was INCREDIBLY slow retrieving jobs and loading the demographic information, but it did work. I don't know about WiFi -- guess you could call and ask them. The people in the office are very friendly and helpful.
Good luck!
