A lot of OT on my acct, supes are good, pay on time.

Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Transolustions does not offshore..good co.

THey offshore the good work. nm
Offshore is not a good solution
These are people who come from a completely different culture. They have very little regard to human life and therefore it is hard for them to comprehend that we do and have it extrapolate out to providing a conscientious medical record. Please do not think that I am criticizing them for this. It is just a fact. I know a little of what I speak because I have seen the product that comes out of the offshore community and India and Pakistan to be specific. Did you see the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Did you see the screenwriter's analysis of life in India? He said everything is extreme over there. If it is sweet, it is very very sweet. If it is spicy, it is very very spicy. If it is poverty, it is grinding abject poverty, living underneath active outhouses. If you see the movie, there is a segment there where it portrays a call center and the lead character tells the customer that he is just down the street from her and he is looking at a map of her area. But then he messes up and says the wrong thing. This is the type of culture with which we are dealing. They think nothing of lying through their teeth just to keep their jobs. Do we actually think the clients here in the US even know that their precious heretofore confidential medical reports are even being sent overseas? I think maybe 20% of them know and the other 80% are blissfully unaware. That will change.
Offshore can barely do good dictators, which is why

Insurance not good
I work for Spheris and I have had their insurance for the past 2 years. In that time i have never been to the doctor. However, I have a history of breast cancer and was told I would not be covered as far as getting mammograms. Also the deductible is 3000. So, I will just have to go without insurance.
Pay and health insurance good.
Some of the QA who work for Precyse are the finest people this side of heaven. I couldn't keep up with my lines and what I had typed, so I moved on. Overall, a good company and they handle a lot of Baptist accounts with people you can understand.
How much is the insurance, is it good, affordable?
I really need insurance and don't want to apply if it is not affordable.
Re: Diskriter. How good is the insurance and what's

They pay half and it is really, really good insurance. nm

Does anyone know of any GOOD, reasonably priced, health insurance?- sm
I would love to find a good health insurance company that I can purchase independently. I LOVE the company I work for but unfortunately they do not offer health benefits. I greatly want to stay with them, but in need of some serious health insurance. Does anyone know of a plan that I could look into that is reasonably priced? Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated since one trip to the ER could make a huge bill....Thanks!
Can you tell me if this is for good insurance, deductible, copay etc..??
I had a good rate before when I had insurance but the deductible was $5000 and no copay so it wasnt worth it.
It is $400 a month, but they pay half. It is good insurance, too. sm
I recently had surgery and my only costs were my deductible. The hospital split that $1000 into 10 months for me, so it was not so bad, and now the rest of the year, I am past my deductible. It is a LOT better than the insurance I had with Spheris.
Is there anyone out there who has something good to say about Spheris?
Can someone tell me anything about Spheris? Good/Bad? (nm)

Spheris, good and bad
Working at Spheris CAN be okay, it honestly depends on who your boss is. On some divisions, MTs have to back into up to 10 accounts, while on other divisions, they might only really have to work in 2-3. I do have to say, though, that Spheris has gotten so big that it almost seems like you are just another number and that you don't matter to them. I worked for quite a few years there and left on good terms, but I don't think I would want to go back to them with the way things are now. You, however, might like working there. If you do go to work at Spheris, please just go in with your eyes wide open and don't let them jack you around.
Spheris good/bad or otherwise??
Any information on this company??? Currently 20 years experience as MT.. looking to change companies, unhappy with present !!
Spheris - Good or Bad
Can anyone give me some current info on Spheris? They had an add in my local paper today, supposedly for accounts in the Lexington, KY area. Are there any current Spheris people out there willing to give a little info on the these accounts or just the company. Any advice would be appreciated.
Spheris - good, bad or okay? nm
Thank you.
Anyone know of a GOOD company with affordable health insurance?
Hi. I am a 14+ year MT. I love the company I am with but they offer NO benefits whatsoever. Does anyone know of a company that is looking for a dependable MT that offers reasonably priced health insurance and would give at least 9-1/2 cents a line (which is what I am getting now). Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
The current insurance is not bad. The coverage is decent, and they pay which is good. sm
I actually hope that they don't change, but I know that it is a big hassle for the office because they are in the middle. Too big to be individual coverage rates and too small for the best rates. I talked with the HR manager, and she told me that the rates they were given for one company tripled once all the worksheets were in. They based the price on the worst case scenario or worst health. Now they can get a flat rate but only if half of the FT employees sign up. I could here the frustration in her voice when I was talking to her. Insurance companies do not always play fair.
Some good thoughts about Spheris
I worked for Spheris for a number of years. I'm going to try to give you some positives, as I agree with you, that there is enough negative stuff on this board.....How successful you will be will depend upon what account(s) you are placed on, what platform you work on (they have several different ones), your supervisor, and of course your skill level. It is possible to do good and make a decent living and be happy with this company, as with all companies, but I know that your success will depend on a lot of factors, many of which are out of your control, unfortunately (meaning, the platform and account).
Be positive and treat each day as a new day. Good luck to you!
Spheris...not a good deal!
I can tell you this, even if I COULD transcribe 200 lines per hour, which allows no time to look anything up, there's not enough work! I've been there for not quite 3 weeks, and since being turned loose on production pay only, EVERY SINGLE DAY, the account I work on runs out of work. There's not enough work for me to make enough money!
Here's some good news about Spheris...
They made the Inc. 500 list of the Fastest Growing Companies In The US for 2005. THAT'S something positive for ya! 
Good news about Spheris
It just means they are following in MQ's footsteps. Buying people out. Just because you are on the list of Fastest Growing Companies does not make you a good place to work for. They are getting too big too fast.
Spheris, not so great. HS was good.
Hey halfpass...I was there for over 5 years. I know where you are coming from...I was with HS prior to the buyout myself. Sad to see how things changed.
Spheris is good to work for.
I worked for Spheris for a while. I thought they were very good to work for. I have no complaints. They were very flexible on my hours when I needed it.
Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
What is the word on Spheris? Are they good to work for? sm
Would like to know pay range for experienced MT, monthly deductions for insurance, etc...run out of work?
Spheris is not a good company to work for
I stayed with Spheris for as long as I possibly could, and pleaded with them for more work. I was without work more than I was with work. It was a nightmare. They have very poor communication and I ended up in a big hole because of them. They tell you one thing and then do another.
Spheris a good company to work for or maybe
Transend? I current work for MQ and even though I like my job, I am not too sure if it will be here seeing as all of our work is being sent to our friends in India. I was wondering about Spheris. I was going to apply to them about 3 years ago before I got my MQ gig... Would you say that they treat their employees fair and not bounce them from account to account? Do they change their employees schedule like crazy? I really appreciate you taking the time to read this and maybe answer me back... lol! I am a single mother so MONEY is really important right now. My bills arent but 1700.00 and you would think that I would be able to make it... but NOPE!!! In fact I am in the hole!!!!
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Transolutions? Anyone know how good their medical insurance benefits are, costs, etc..specifically
family coverage. They say you only have to work 32 hours to be eligible so I'm curious what their benefits are like. Thanks
Focus Infomatics--Anyone have any experience with their insurance benefits, good rate, etc..
Yes, I know all there is to know about them in the negative form but people respond only if you know about their insurance plan. Thanks
What company is good in your opinion if Spheris is the worst? (nm)
nm
Thanks
Spheris pays for training. It used to be pretty good. Don't know what
xx
So are all you Spheris posters able to make pretty good money there? .... sm
I have more than 25 years in this business, and I have always just steered clear of this company, but I either need to change who I work for or I need to supplement.
I see they have production incentives, which I like. I'm guessing you all like their system, if you are happy there. How about their benefits - are they affordable? Do you think their base pay is fair? Are they flexible at all when it comes to you working your hours? Are you happy with your account(s)? Thanks for any specific info!
I hated it there, they sent good accts to India (spheris global). nm

been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account
nm
Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm
