Spheris does for higher level accounts. SM

In Reply to: Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies? - MT
You could easily do these accounts with 20 years of experience. If you apply, DO NOT LET THEM PUT YOU ON CLINICS. Say acute care or nothing.
That said, 9.6 cpl and benefits.

did they mention anything higher than level IV? sm
for higher percentage of ESLs?
It is only right that a higher level MT should make more but I feel I can tell anyone I want
:+
They have NO level 5 accounts, though, never have.
x
Problem is there are not enough level 9 accounts for expd
aa
I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they
MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.
They have a low level 4, high level 4 and level 5.
nm
The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs. Never made sense to me. Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training.
Why is Spheris getting so many of MQ accounts
:
Spheris for one. They have accounts in Canada as well.
dd
Spheris has both MTs and accounts in Canada.
dd
Spheris offshores some accounts
nm
Regarding Spheris, are you allowed to use your own computer for this company and are the accounts
full of ESLs. I know they used to take off for QA or something. Do they still do that. I am just curious as it seems like some people are liking this place better and just wondering if they have gotten more lenient with their MTs as far as time schedules etc.
Level 2 is clinic and level 3
Level 1 is ER work. It's ER, but I get a great line count. Plenty of macros and normals, we are paid for all of them.
level 1 - mt
I need to be taken under someones wing i am a stuggling MT trying to improve my skills. My accuracy level is less than 90 percent can someone help me get going and get out of this catch 22. I only have dial -up access. Nothing else is available.
I'm a level 8. sm
I tested very well and negotiated the level 8 rate. I honestly do not know how common it is, but I'd encourage you to give it a try. =)
You would probably be a level 8 or 9, between 9-10 cpl. nm
xxxx
Top pay level
is .10/line. There are additional incentives such as for weekends, etc.
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A HIGHER UP
OR A SUCK UP THAT CHERRYPICKS ALL THE GOOD WORK AND GETS PAID FOR YOUR SPACES. Get a life and leave us poor people alone.
Higher?
They won't if you don't know how to spell hire.
higher
SS pays higher than that for QA.
higher than DQS
but I get paid for everything whether I type it or not, headers, footers, ADT, etc.
they can higher new MTs
nm
My pay is much higher
I do VR and straight and what you quoted lots lower.
higher pay does not mean better. Try them both.

entry level
any 1 know of entry level MT jobs in centrl txs or at hme..???
Entry level
Has anyone received a response from the entry level position on a pediatric account with Medtransolutions?
What level work was that for? sm
Clinic or acute care? What level? TIA
entry level
I'm thinking about getting my MT certificate and need some advice. Is it hard to find work as an entry level mt? Also, does it matter where I get my certificate (at home or reg classroom)? Do most companies have set hours or do you work when you want? I'm really excited about this new career! Any advise?
level of testing
Can someone tell me type of radiology testing given by Keystrokes, (written, typing test, verbal)...do they have benefits...take out taxes, etc?. I am thinking seriously about applying if only to do part-time work for a while to see how things pan out.
Why entry level only?
I see where World Wide Dictation is looking for entry level transcriptionists to do non-medical work.....insurance claims, paying up to 9.5 cpl. Why only entry level? If it's such simple work, why not let anyone in who is willing to do it for the amount offered?
I was just hired as a level IV...sm
The recruiter said level IV was acute care with ops and 30-40% ESL dictation.
Not sure what any of the other levels are though. Sorry!
What level were you hired at? sm
I was recently hired as an Acute Care Level IV, so I'm anxious to see what the ESL load looks like too. The recruiter said 30-40%, but then she also said it could be less than that. I'm hoping for the latter!!!
MQ has a tier 3 level that is only Ops
nm
Level 3 work
Does anyone else feel this way? I'm a longtime acute care MT. I always work my schedule, including weekends and holidays, have 98% to 99% accuracy. I left MQ because of the changes; for years I averaged 200-250 lph and net $600. per week. Then they changed platforms and I got nothing but ESL, mealymouths and static. My income dropped in half and my stress level doubled. I went to a company that has gotten rave reviews on this board and was put on a good account with fair line counts. Then it began running out of work just as I was starting to see decent money. They put me on a backup account (which is all I've been getting for days now, not my primary) and it is nothing but ESLs. I KNOW there are decent dictators at every facility, and I'm willing to do my share of the bad ones, but ALL BAD? What gives? Do they WANT me to quit? I'm not complaining so don't jump all over me. I'm just curious if others are noticing this too.
What is a level 2 MT at Mescribe
I was told if I took the position with them I would be a level 2 MT. I asked the recruiter what was a level 2 MT. He said he would have to get back with me after Easter break. I know they have clinic MTs, ER MTs and Acute care MTs. Can someone clarify for me what a level 2 MT is at Medscribe. Thanks
Level 3 MTs at my old co. used to have to do 1700 (sm)
But that was only the level 3/CMT equivalent employees. Level 2's had to do 1400 and level 1's 1200. Pay scale was per level, so if you were paid more you had to produce more.
I wasn't crazy about it.
MT entry level?
Lately I have read where companies offering you an MT position and then say you have an opportunity for advancement. This really ticks me off!! I Love being an MT, have always felt that an Acute Care/Hospital Medical Transcriptionist was at the top. I personally would not want a QA or administration position and certainly do not feel I would be making a move up…at the absolute least it would be just a different move.
The only thing I do not like about being an MT is that most companies don't give raises if you get paid per line or are an IC. I have been doing this for 12+ years and companies want to pay the same rates per line as 12 years ago. The only way to make more money is to type faster and/or more hours. They have forget about the cost of living that keeps going up.
Wrong on only maybe one level, but probably right on all!
ePLDT, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT
The above is one of their partners. Obviously they are not based in America.
The above is from their site, just Google Spi and click on partners. I am wrong that they are the i service connected to the Philippines, not Korea. The other i service is connected to and with management in Korea. Gotta look out for those i guys, I guess. Korea, Phillipines, who cares? They are offshore. They are not our buddies.
I too type Indian doctors, but they speak English (or attempt to in some cases).
Thanks for the comments though. Are, is, who cares? That is what happens when you type stuff here on your break. 
i am not the OP, but I am high level 4, and all of my 4 SM
accounts are in OT now. My account is considered 70% to 90% ESL. So that is just what I have experienced here lately. I suppose you are right about it depending on the level and worktypes that you can do. Definitely talk to the STM, as they are always willing to help you out if they can. Good luck!
That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
Not really. I think the average is higher than that. That's on the low end.
I would not take less than 1.25. Just my opinion though.
so if it is not 8, is it higher or lower..(nm)
''
Are you the KS Lead that goes to the higher ups?
If the higher ups are telling you they are getting 20 accounts, they are probably counting each dictator on one account! Would that make sense! I'm being sarcastic. Is it working? LOL Think, people, think!!! LOL - laughing at this whole thread. It is hysterical! I LOVE THIS BOARD!!! 
If Keystrokes was so fantabulous, they wouldn't need to post on here to hire!!!!!!!
They pay higher than most and their communication
I though they were very professional and the Beyond TXT platform was not half-bad. They treat you like a person and not someone from far, far away. LOL - They have my vote as well! 
nor that smart especially the higher you go LOL
.
Of course it is too low. Will you get higher rate?
x
They start out higher than that :)
nm
That is the average or even a little higher...
especially nowadays...
Why not ask your supervisor or higher
up people in the company itself for a straight answer??
Take the higher paying job! sm
These companies don't care about us anymore, so why should we care about them? At the end of the day, we all need money to pay our bills.
I think they have their sites set higher. See msg.
Our goal is to steadily increase offshore volume although to the extent that our
revenue grows rapidly it could certainly be a challenge to increase the
percentage of our total volume that we’re processing offshore
I found the above from the lengthy meeting notes from July 29 of this year. It is at the top paragraph of page 6. Transcend wants to offshore. There's no stopping them.
