Medscribe in Jacksonville FL
Would like to hear from current Medscribers regarding pros and cons of this company. They are hiring for ER MTs, using a platform called DVI. How is it and what is it? Difficult to learn? Good line count? Thank you.

Dictation Services Group out of Jacksonville, FL
Being an MT for 7 years, I was just hired with this company 2 weeks ago and the very next day, I came down with a sinus infection and bronchitis on top of that. I was sicker than a dog still and my start date was the next day. They were very compasionate and understanding, and my supervisor even suggested taking a few more days before starting in hopes that I would feel even better. However, the account I was put on in the DQS system was horrible; voice torque was too high and you couldn't understand anything the dictator was saying. I then emailed them and told them exactly why I did not think I was going to be able to accept the position with them and my supervisor emailed me back asking me to try another account before totally making that decision. Hence, I have only worked on the other account for 2 days and I absolutely love it.
In working for a company in CA with heavy ESL dictators, DSG's ESL dictators are nothing compared to them, but that may depend on the account you work on.
As far as feedback, they try to get back to you in a timely manner. You do have to take into consideration that you are not the only MT requesting information and it does take time to reply to all those emails.
With that said, I have to give them a definite great company to work for considering my situation upon hire there. Ask me in another month what I think and I hope to say the same.
Good luck in job hunting. I'm sure you will find a company that works for you; it just takes time and patience to find that company.

Any opinions on MedScribe, Jacksonville, FL - been offered a position
 I have been offered an ER position and was just wondering if there is any CURRENT feedback on this company -- MedScribe Information Systems, Inc. Pay is not great but sounds like the benefits will make up for it. Need opinion on the platform and how difficult is it to make the required line counts. Any opinions would be great, and email me if you would rather. Thanks in advance

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!
nm
Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
MQ vs Spheris
I worked for MQ about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend them. Not enough time to go into it. I understand things may have changed, but I still wouldn't recommend them. From what I've read on boards, they haven't changed.
I've been with Spheris for almost three months now and I really like it. I'm making good money working Mon-Fri and I'm not getting hounded by a supervisor for petty stuff. I enjoy working for Spheris. I say, give them a try!
Spheris is
Spheris is hiring for all shifts, PT and FT, acute and clinic. I've been with them for about a year now and am really happy there, after having worked for 2 other nationals that I didn't have such great experiences with.
I'd be happy to pass your resume along to a recruiter, if you'd like, or answer any questions you have. My email is carasoffice@yahoo.com.
Good luck!
Spheris...
They tell everyone that - not to say you are not a good MT. But I was too, but when I reapplied, they said no - I think because all their new Spheris management is installed now, the ex-Edix management is probably gone (except those who fit in with the new regime), and they just don't want to be bothered with ex-Edix people. Just my theory. At any rate, plenty of us have posted on this board, so it is obvious that most if not all of us are not being rehired.
Try Spheris. NM

Spheris
TO: MTMQ... Why are YOU making this business? Are you the board monitor. It's none of your business what anyone Or when anyone posts on this board.
Spheris
And just how they going to get anyone's identity on here. What she is doing is NOT dishonest, It's smart because even if they do find out, she has another job to cover herself. BusyMT'ing is diong the right thing by protecting Her interests, which you have to do in this dog-eat-dog MT world. My hats off to you BusyMT'ing. You go girl. And if you really think about every MT company is competition for another MT company no matter how you look it. If one is independent, no company has any say what you do.. IC is the way to go. More pay and you answer to no one but yourself...
Yes, we will see. Spheris has only
acquired one company. Spheris was formed with the merger of Total eMed and EDiX. So, Spheris itself has only made one acquisition - HealthScribe/Acivis.
I think they have to get this acquisition settled before buying anything else and when/if they do make another purchase, I think it will be more global oriented, not US-based like MQ is. That is strictly my perspective.
OSI or Spheris
My husband came home on Friday and said he was going to be laid off soon. I am still trying to accept this and what it means to our family budget. I got a job offer from Spheris and OSi to begin in their mentor programs. I am really lost and don't know which would be better for my family. Please everyone give me the heads up on both companies. I know Spheris offshores, but have plenty of work. OSI seems to be running out of work. Which program should I choose. Both recruiters tell me their companies have plenty of work. HELP
Spheris or OSI
OSI pays better than Spheris. I work at OSi on an account that runs out of work but I can make $500-600/wk...I worked for a lady locally and used to make $1000/wk on the same account, but she lost the account to OSI, and they keep a little more for themselves if you see what I mean. I know someone who worked at Spheris and only made $300-400 week, and then she made $600 wk at OSI. And let's just say her speed didn't bring her down.
re: spheris
I currently work for Spheris. I find their platform makes it difficult to get a decent line count.... it feels like I type alot more then what the platform tells me??
why Spheris...
MQ or Spheris
Keep looking. Don't go with either. You'll be sorry if you do. Have been with both and there are better options out there.
Spheris
It's great if you have 20 years experience and like to make 8 dollars an hour. They formulate it that way, so even if you get a raise, you get yet another pay cut. McDonalds is sounding pretty good right about now!
I like it at Spheris
It amazes me how rumors fly around here - chained to the chair? I don't think so! I take breaks when and as often as I want. No clocking in and out for breaks. I like the company and am quite happy there.
Spheris
Yes, Spheris is currently hiring for radiology. They are a good company to work for supplies computer and reimbursement for phone service. Good benefits, too.
Currently, Spheris does not have IC/SE.
I doubt Spheris is in the picture for MQ though.
I'm sure that some MTs have been called by MQ Rewards Plan committee though I doubt all MQ MTs get on this board so we wouldn't necessarily hear about it.
I hope they don't do away with SE either.
Actually, I don't see that. Spheris has
leveled their accounts period. Whether you have 1 year of experience or 10 years of experience, if you work on a level 7 account you receive 0.0867 cpl as a base rate. Period. Flat out. No consideration is given to experience period. The incentive is based on WEEKLY production.
Sounds like MQ is basing pay on 2 factors --- years of experience AND level of account.
Of course, I realize SEs may become a thing of the past. However, I highly doubt it. I believe they would have stopped advertising and hiring SEs recently if that were true. They'd only be hiring FT and PT employees.
We'll see!
spheris
Did it take long for them to get back to you after you applied. I just applied today.
what about spheris?
I am not familiar with their requirements.
No where near Spheris....Let me tell you --
Sounds like the info just posted on here about the packets is very credible -- although I have not received my packet yet.
If this is this plan, and I've put all this info together so far -- the pay is far better than Spheris. Even the different tiers and hours for shifts is better. The incentive is better.
All-in-all, this beats Spheris completely. Mind you, I love Spheris still but this pay plan beats them all around.
I thought that beforehand as well. Spheris' highest incentive was 0.015 and no bonuses. No extra incentives at any given time of the year period. No extra money to be made in anyway. MQ has offered a lot more than that for pay.
Just giving you what I know about both companies since I work for both.
I may well go FT with MQ once I talk to my PS and see if I can test and go to pathology and/or radiology (have done those for many years and enjoy both).
I appreciate the information posted here. I wish everyone peace and good guidance in deciding what is best for their individual situations.
Spheris? MQ?
So..which company is better..Spheris or MQ?
Spheris does. Not as much though.
..
Spheris vs. MQ
I have never worked for Spheris, but am a high producer for MQ and make a lot of money. No complaints here.
Spheris? MQ?
They both are horrible. Neither is better than the other.
Spheris
Telling Spheris won't do you any good. They have plenty of Indian MT's and are hiring more all of the time, so they don't really care if you leave. You would be better off to go to another company. Spheris is the worst in the business.
Spheris
I'm a Transcriptionist with 17 years experience. I worked 12 of those in a hospital, the last 5 as a subcontractor. I need the benefits!!!
I accepted a job with Spheris. Now, I know it is much easier to complain on these boards, but, please try to include some good things about this company if you can! Thanks!
spheris
If you accepted a job with them, why do you care what anyone else thinks? It's you job, your time and you will learn why there are so many complaints on this board, as you put it.
Good luck - you'll need it.
Spheris
There is not much good to say about Spheris. All I can say is you will see in due time. They are just too big for their britches.
Spheris
Well, honey, get ready for an eye-opening experience. You will have plenty of work but it will be on many different accounts and then they will have the nerve to have you change platforms and re-learn everything you are already used to just to give you more accounts every day. RUN before it is too late.
Spheris
Yeah, that is the problem. There is work available. There is just no stability in it. You never get used to the account long enough to make any money on it. Then it will get caught up and you are forced to work on another, yet another, yet another account just to try to earn a paycheck. Also, if you do not meet your line count quota then you lose your benefits. How can you make your line count quota if you are account hopping several times a day?
