There are Indian MTs working on ALL the accounts.

And, Indian owned. Not a good working environment.
Worse than Focus or Transcam.
If you don't mind working for a completely Indian-run company
Been there, done that 3 years ago...never again.
I liked working for Spheris
The only reason I quit was because I already work a FT job, and their 20-hour minimum for PT became too much. I had great accounts, a good supervisor, pay always on time.
Working for Spheris
I have been with a little over three years. It is like any company....some good, some bad. The insurance is good and not overpriced. I get PTO's and basically as long as I fulfill my obligations to them workwise, they pretty much leave me alone which is I like alot. They are not bad to work for. Like I always say, It's a job, if it was supposed to be fun, they would not call it work! Ha! Good luck to you. 
Working for Spheris
Spheris is a great company. I went to Spheris as a result of a merger with Healthscribe and spent a total of 4 years with both companies. I always had lots of work, one primary account and several backup accounts. My check was always exactly on time, always accurate. I had a great supervisor, very caring and very supportive. They appreciate someone who works hard. They require excellent quality of work and I always tried to give them my best. I made a very high yearly income with Healthscribe and Spheris and am enjoying the benefits of that in retirement. I would highly recommend Spheris without reservation.
You get no benefits working PT for Spheris
Used to get PTO but they took that away too.
50,000.00 a year working for Spheris? ROLF!!!

what account were you working on? sm
What account were you working on? They let all of the QAs and a few MTs go on this particular account. I believe they lost this account.
Account I was working on
What amazes me is that they never got back to me. I e-mailed them and they told me work was very slow this week and they hope things start picking back up. Yes, I think the account I was working on went away, but why did they not tell me. I can still log on to the system.
Yep!!! We're working on the same account.
I'll email you..
I think we are working for the same company on the same account.
I have a pillow-talking female dictator on my secondary account as well. Little to no work on my primary. It took 40 minutes to transcribe 36 lines with 16 blanks. E-mail me if you want.
question for those working on the old QT account
Are you still able to make the lines you did when you worked at QT at the Web. Friend of mine is having a hard time and she was a top producer.
I am working now. We don't lose the account
for another month. I also have back up accounts, so I am hoping that I can work on some of those until I get a new primary, but I know they won't provide me the 40 hours of work I need to get by. I figured I would wait until that time to start bugging my supervisor for another account. I would rather not be too pushy. Afraid that will make things worse instead of better.
Spheris' "Big Account"
Would that big account be some CHS hospitals?
Spheris will most likely assign you another account.

I have been trying to be patient but have been working on my secondary account so much lately, I am
starting to think it's my primary. Been in the business a long time and understand slow times, but this has been a chronic problem for many months, so I understand poster's point of view. Stick it out if you can, if not, there are lots of other companies out there, but remember, the grass is always greener on the other side and you may be sorry you jumped ship. Hopefully you can find somewhere that will make you happy and feel appreciated.
Anyone working on the new cardiology account for Archivus out of NC?
Looking for info on platform used, percentage of ESLs, number of docs, if there are templates/headers/footers?
working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

No, if the account you are working wants it to stay stateside,
it will stay stateside. Period. I got this straight from a Transcend regional manager a couple of weeks ago. It is up to the CLIENT whether to allow the work to go offshore or not. It is NOT up to Transcend.
Anyone working on cardiology account for Superior Global out of TX?
*
Has any worked for QT Medical for radiology? They got an account that I was working sm
on for another company and I want to apply, but cannot find anything about them. I am currently with Peachtree and am tired of being an IC and I need steady work. Can you give me any good, bad or other information? TIA
The account I am working has a normal amount of ESLs but nothing awful.
I think anywhere you work these days you're going to get some but I have just had the usual amount here.
Spheris? Word has it one more account was totally outsourced. Sigh
Wait to talk to the recruiter. If the account you are working on requires a C-phone, sm
they will loan you one if they have one available. No sense in spending extra money if you do not have to do so. :-)
Good luck ! I love it at Keystrokes. I have only been there about 4-5 months,but my experience has been a good one. I think you will like it.
been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account
nm
how horrible but Acusis/DRC outsources to India, just what Spheris will do with that easy account. n
,
Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing. 99% of the MTs love KS. If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them.
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
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.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
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!!
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
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
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
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.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
Indian ran?
ugggggg
They ARE Indian!!!
If you want to take a chance and not believe what you read, you will see for yourself that they are ALL Indian RUN!!!! Some people are so hardheaded....they are a horrible company and Bobbi is a real MEAN person to deal with as well....NO WAY FOR FOCUS!!!
CMT for Indian MTs
As an Editor who worked an account for several years transcribed 100% by an Indian company, I am surprised to hear they are able to pass the CMT certification exam. Their transcription was comical at best and sheer nonsense at worst.
HIS has been Indian since day one.
It has not one whit to do with AAMT. This company tried to recruit me years ago when they were first started and they were Indian then and still have their heavy ties. You lost your jobs because Manor Care will not be deep pockets to a dying entity any longer and can't even sell the damned thing!! Blaming AAMT is easy. I think the letter you got may have been from the executive director and not the President. Each of us, has to take responsibility for the choices we make with employment and having been through a lay off with HIS I had to blame myself ultimately for making a choice to be lied to and believe it because it suited me at the time. Offshoring is over 15 years in existence and I guess here to stay so the next time you make an employment choice be sure you pick a company that does not offshore .. in the meantime, put the blame where is squarely belongs at your own doorstep and not AAMT.
...that should be Indian MTs. nm

Indian MTs
There are always exceptions. I emailed often with one of the Indian MTs at one time. His English was probably better than my own. I think he was starting up his own transcription company and he was kind enough to ask me to work for him. (I was already working, but I considered it nice of him to ask). Really, I do think he was the exception, he was a great fellow. He was supporting his mom, his father had just passed away. Now he has gotten married. I do not exchange emails with him anymore but, if there were others like him, they would do pretty good. I do not really think that there are others like him though. Honestly, my primary account probably has 80% of his nationality. Wish they could type those.
Indian.

Didn't you know this board is run by Indians??
I wonder what they pay the Indian MTs? ..sm
I guess it is now equal, we are paid the same as the Indian.
