Started 2 months ago at MedScribe

In Reply to: Medscribe, anyone work there..sm - Another NYMT
Acute care starts at 8 and they have 2 incentive levels which adds another 3/4. That is for employee status with healthcare. Benefits are affordable (Aetna) and they pay by DD every 2 weeks. I have always had work and my team leader is very nice, she came from MW. The platform is Word based and I have all of my expander. After I applied I started in about 5 days. They have been very nice and I can honestly say, so far so good. Glad I left my rather large company to work for a smaller one, it's nice to be called by my first name for a change. Leanne.

I started with MedScribe about 6 months ago
I have an acute care account that I work on and also do a little ER for a secondary account. I do work one weekend day but they have kept me in work and pay is every other Friday, direct deposit. That is a big plus from where I came from. Good luck to you. Karen.
Started at MedScribe 3 months
I was attracted to the sign-on bonus, which is nice because they pay it $100 a pay period so I did not have to wait for 6 months or a year. I like my super and have plenty of work, I use InstaText and that converted just fine. I did not need the insurance but it is a nice package, they pay every two weeks by direct deposit. I have not heard of the other company you mentioned but I did come from a VERY large company and it is nice working for a smaller one, first name basis is a change. Good luck to you.
don't get me started on medscribe
HOw can u not work the budgeted lines? It's easy when the line counter is not honest.
I started at MedScribe
I have been there almost 6 months and the work is steady and pay is on time (direct deposit) so that was the 2 major factors I looked for. Very happy. Good luck to you. K.
Started one year ago and like MedScribe
They have some very nice people and I like my account. I am an employee because I need healthcare benefits. I also like the direct deposit, that was a big change from where I came from. All in all I think they are a good company, I needed steady work and pay coming in to support myself. HTH.
I have been with MedScribe in Florida for 6 months
and have always had work, pay is direct deposit every other Friday. They just started using Aetna for insurance and I signed up for the coverage. I know they are starting a new hospital in SC in January, we received an email about the new account. Hope that helps.
I started 6 months ago and am very happy. sm
I started with one account that was busy and still have a lot of work. I have a back-up account but have never worked it as my primary is very busy. If you like radiology, this is the place to go from everything I hear. I transcribe the Big 4 and really enjoy my account.
My pay is good and on time thanks to direct deposit. I had to wait a few weeks for IDs but it was worth the wait!
I am not on Meditech and I started at 0.09 ten months ago. sm
Not all of their accounts are Meditech but some are. I actually want a Meditech account as I am used to it and can move fast.
I have been on there since it started 4 months ago and this is the first time.
They are freaking out because the doctors can still dictate!!!
But that only started 2 months ago and besides that, remember
you said I was management. I loved VR from the very start, before the other money. I can work part time only and make over 20$ per hour. No sweat. That sure is not what others are saying about minimum wage. What the heck are they talking about. Lack of experience I guess.
I just started working about 3 months ago
that requires 1 weekend day every week. I didn't think it would be so bad, but I don't like it at all. I realize that the medical field is a 24/7 profession, but I would rather rotate weekends like we did when I worked as a nurse. Better yet, if companies offered a weekend differential, they could probably find enough part-timers who want to work just weekends; wouldn't that be nice. Oh well, so much for dreaming.
I started at amphion a couple of months ago
and I love it! I stay on the same account and never run out of work. They are BEGGING for overtime, which they do pay extra for. The people are so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend trying them out. Good luck.
I started 6 months ago and enjoy my account
I am on an acute care hospital and they have me backed up to ER. They just mentioned starting a new hospital, I guess a big one, in about a month so I know they will be hiring. So far so good. Pay is every other Friday by direct deposit so it is on time.
You can buy XP from Dell. I started with a different company about 2 months ago and sm
had to buy a new Dell as Vista did not work for them either. Most of the companies do not take Vista. It just doesn't work with everything yet.
I started at 8 cpl, was increased to 9 cpl in 3 months and 9.5 in a year. nm

SS has a lot of new accounts that have just started and more starting over the next few months. sm
As far as I know, SS is totally US based (going by what I was told). They are offering OT right now for us MTs. I am enjoying it certainly and I have been here for a couple of years.
Oh my gosh yes! I started at a company about 6 months ago,
starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company. However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day. It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously. I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would.
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
Took a long time for me. They called after I had accepted and started another job, so about 2 months
?
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
That's MEDSCRIBE, sorry. nm

Medscribe---RUN AWAY
run
MedScribe
BEware of Medscribe......... Listen to this.......I've had Susan interviewing and calling me for three months on an Editor position at $17/hr. Well, after being told I did NOT get the job (even tho I was never tested), she had the nerve to call me back a week later and said the job reopened and she wanted me for it. I tried calling her and leaving messages for three days. She never returned my calls. I finally got ahold of her and she had the NERVE to tell me that the original person changed their mind and took back the position? Did anyone ever hear of this? So to all of you out there.......stay clear of Susan!!!!
Medscribe
SM, Yes it is all about me....it is about how all of us as potential hires should be treated. Besides, Ms. L did not even test for the QA position.....so the question is, was there really a position????
Medscribe
No, I'm sure she thinks ONLY about what is good for her not caring about how she plays around with other people. Sorry, but I don't have to take this kind of treatment and let her know it.
Medscribe
They're not the only one I've been working with one here in Canada and the same thing. I thought maybe it was me that was wrong but that's what they did too..mind you we got $1.50 to put up with it and work ha work we did or at least me!!!!
Medscribe
What's the story with these people? I tested before Christmas and never heard back (I know I did well). Today they didn't answer an Email. Should I keep on truckin'?
MedScribe
Things can change a lot in FOUR YEARS. I cannot imagine they would have been able to keep up that practice and still be around today. Maybe a person should simply ask them about the incident four years ago; you'd have nothing to lose and as an applicant, I would think they would HAVE to tell the truth about it. The problem is sometimes just ONE incident can get out of hand, repeated a little differently, and a different story could come out other than the real story. I'm not saying your friend didn't get paid. I'm just saying NO company could get away with this kind of protocol and still be in business.

Medscribe
anyone have a clue why Medscribe is constantly advertising for MTs?
medscribe
I don't know why, but whenever I post about this company it is not able to be found in the archives. I have posted many times about how miserable I was while working there. I didn't trust their line counter but I think worst of all was the way the talked down to me and scolded me for not making line counts which by the way... i normally could do but their accounts are MOSTLY re recorded and very VERY bad ESLs.... on top of a faulty line counter.
Medscribe
I did three weeks with them. Only filling in headers, sent to office where THEY input the macros (which we did not get paid for doing, of course) and I think I averaged about $3 per hr. A friend of mine got stiffed for her paycheck and they got threatened with illegal interstate activity because they were doing their business over state lines via phone. She got her money but it tooks MONTHS. This was a couple of years ago, but I don't think they've changed. Stay away from this place. The owner is a classical jerk.
medscribe
I am interested hearing about your experiences there. I read the story about the gal who had to sue to get paid, and before I went to work there, I asked about it. They denied it vehemently, but in the proceeding 4-6 months, I had 2 checks that went missing. I really do not know if it was the fault of the post office or not, but I was not impressed. I also am not very impressed by the support system in place at this point, but would rather dish that privately.
I have been considering other employment because I always meet my minimum line count, and my quality scores seem to average in the 98% range, and I rarely take time off, but having only worked for HealthScribe (which I would almost take back right now) and MedScribe, I really don't know what a good company looks like. I am pretty specific at this point about what I want in a company, but it seems like they tell you what you want to hear and is not necessarily true. 
Medscribe
Does anyone work for Medscribe and if so, can I get some feedback - considering working with them. Thanks.
Medscribe NY
thanks
MedScribe?
Anybody working for MedScribe? If so, how do you like it?
MedScribe

Hope you find out the information that you need.

I would if i did have some! 
medscribe NJ
Does anyone have info on medscribe out of NJ? there seems to be one in Florida but would really like to know if anyone has experience with medscribe in NJ. Thank you in advance.
medscribe
Wow. I was just about to apply because their ad sounded good. I read the archives and realize I sidestepped a mess. I want to thank all of you for coming together and sharing your experiences so that others are forewarned.
medscribe?
Archives stuff is old, old. Sounds good - 12 hour time period to work. Please, anyone know anything?
MedScribe
MedScribe does only pays between 7 and 7.5 cpl full-time IC. There is an incentive bonus plan in place (if you are full-time) where if you fullfull all of your line commitments it is another 0.08 cpl, and they will place an additional 0.05 cpl for CMT status.
MedScribe
A family policy will run you more like $195 per week (dental and vision extra)for the $500 deductable plan.
I like it at MedScribe
So far so good, little over 6 months. Happy with the line rate and the insurance, my supervisor is very nice too. They must have added some accounts because I have heard they are hiring right now. I have not worked for the other 2 companies you mentioned, but did come from a rather big company and I like that I can call MedScribe and reach someone. Hope that helps.
MedScribe
Hello. Does anyone know if MedScribe in Jacksonville, FL, is a good company to work for? Also, on another note, have "they" decided to drop the hypen from "well-developed, well-nourished?" Thanks. LLD 
I have been with MedScribe
they have been a fine company to work for. I liked the training and support from my supervisor is professional. I also came from a previous company that issued checks, so now having direct deposit is a blessing in my life. They are OK by me, I hope that helps. Good luck to you. Karen.

Anyone willing to share Medscribe's acute care line rate and what their average LPH are working at Medscribe? Thanks.
