Starting with WebMedX in a week or so ...
Posted By: Leavin' very soon! on 2008-04-15
In Reply to: Just looking for who... - 4vrtpng
Have been with MQ for 12 years. Am really looking forward to WebMedX. I did a survey like the one you're doing here, and didn't have one bad reply from MTs who work for WebMedX. So, I'm really hoping it will be a great place to work! MQ used to be a great place to work....afraid it's no longer true.
So wish me luck!

TTS - Anyone starting with them this week?
Hi, I am starting with TTS soon and was wondering if there was anyone else out starting soon or have just started with them?
And my friend is starting with them next week as Q/A
Guess she will have a big surpise!
Will be starting that account in about a week myself. (sm)
Really looking forward to it because for once the local hospitals, docs, clinics, cities,etc should be easy and familiar for me. All this within 40 minutes of my house. What a switch.
I know that two are starting next week. I work on one of them right now and they called and sm
asked me if I wanted more work or knew anyone who has heme/onc experience.
2 accts starting today and at least 1 more next week sm
If you are considering coming on board, the 35-hr per week is great for qualifying for full-time benefits status. Flex schedule depends on what account you are hired for; I have 12 hours window to get in my 8 hours in a day. Works well for me.
They test for ortho but not others but I was just told that starting this week, everyone will have t
I love it there too!
Webmedx - anyone know when new accounts are starting up? (sm)
I know we have been hiring in anticipation and probably some of the new employees are working on current accounts until everything is on line. At least this has what I have ran into at other companies. They have to be trained and ready and I anticipated our backlogs might be a little low as we share. Today I have been out of work most of the morning which is EXTREMELY RARE, however it is a perfect day to play outside so I will go out and pot up some things and wait till the work load builds up a little more.
Sorry if this kind of rambled on. Welcome to new employees, I am certainly not complaining or accusing them of taking work away from the rest of us. Just wondering when the new accounts are coming on and if we will be given opportunity to switch or try out the new ones.
Have a good day. Putting on my old jeans and heading outside for an hour or so.
Starting with Webmedx Monday - computer not delivered yet and tomorrow the 4th. (sm)
Does anybody know if they deliver on Saturdays and/or holidays. I sure don't want to have to reschedule my training as I have already quit my other job. Not sure if it is coming UPS or FedEx, could check their web sites but don't have a tracking number.
I know Webmedx pays $11/hour for 1 week.
I have seen in the past week other companies that pay, but I didn't pay attention to who they were. I found the info browsing the job boards.
Webmedx pays $11/hour for one week and then
pay 25% above line rate for 3 days to give you some time to build-up production.
I start training with Webmedx next week...sm
Like you, I know there is no perfect company, but they do seem pretty darned close.
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL. When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle. I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so. He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had. Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan.
Did Webmedx honor your 2-week notice? sm
I'm on good terms with Webmedx and think it's a great company. I have an opportunity that I'm probably going to take, and I would give a 2-week notice to Webmedx, of course.
My concern is that when you give a notice some companies don't honor that themselves and instead tell you to go ahead and leave early. Has this ever happened to you with Webmedx?
Please respond only if you left on good terms with the company when they gave Webmedx a 2-week notice. The question doesn't apply to those who resigned without a 2-week notice to avoid getting fired or were terminated.
I'm thinking Webmedx is an honorable company and would let me work my 2 weeks, but with the state of the economy, I am naturally concerned about the possibility of being without 2 weeks of pay.
Thanks in advance!
Cool MT week gift from Webmedx...
Love it! Cook's apron, with the Webmedx logo embroidered on the front. I'll use it a lot. Very nice gesture.
We've been at high alert OT all this week at Webmedx. nm

Do you recommend starting with clinic notes or acute care when just starting in the MT field?
!I realize this question may be better suited for the new MT board, but this board is my favorite)
I am considering accepting an acute care position, even though I am just out of MT school. However, I don't want the learning curve to be so steep that I fail before I even begin. I would also like to have a smaller pool of dictators to transcribe from as opposed to many.
Also, are there more ESLs in acute care versus clinic/dr office work?
What has your experience been? Would you do it differently?
Thanks for any insight!
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
I got 10 for 10 yrs exp and just starting with them
Could you have misunderstood maybe?
Thanks !!! I was starting to wonder....
and just this morning, I got an email about a new dictator for my account..
Starting soon
I'm starting there soon. Just wondered as I have noticed it down this week. Thanks.
Starting soon.
From what they explained to me, it is quality and affordable, Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Starting out definitely no more than in the SM
mid 20s and that's if you are typing all the time. I have been doing this for 15 years and yes, I use expanders, etc. but I have never made more than $37,000 gross in any year (and some of my jobs were hourly PLUS incentive). My income has declined every year since 2000--the Social Security yearly statement attests to that.
Anyone starting with CIT? Do we know who they are? nm
s
If you are first starting out...
and need really good experience, Medquist is a good starting point. MedQuist is not the company for you if you want to make over 25K a year.
Maybe it is D&L starting over!!
x
Do you know when it will be starting?
nm
all starting to come together now...
Good news; I've got my software installed, a primary and a secondary account assigned and am fixing to start training. When it started to pull together, it has happened fast. So far, so good.
starting over - help
never thought i would come back to full-time MT - spent the last 10 years raising my daughter and working part-time in various places that we have lived. My husband is in construction, and we just aren't making it any more. The only thing i know how to do is transcribe, so I am looking to come back.
I quit in 1998 - i worked for ddi for 7 years - after Rick Cammeron sold the company to MQ, it got awful, so i stopped. I really don't want to work for MQ again (they were really nasty to us). I did everything for ddi - lots of ops and consults, and cardiology (for Good Sam in LA - great account)
What are my options? who are the best companies to work for? what about speech recognition - can you make any money at it? I have heard some people say they can't make anything becasue they are getting 20% taken off their line rates -others say that they are making money at 50% off.
I don't know anything about the recognition stuff - can someone help me? I am interested because i might not have to type as much - i am willing and able to work hard, but when i quit, my hands were bothering me a lot - i have been transcribing part-time for doctors with no trouble - but only for a few hours a day - don't know that i could handle 8+ hours a day.
I have so many questions. At ddi, we were all independent contractors - i liked that, but then we didn't need insurance. seems like a lot of companies offer employment with insurance. what do they pay? i have heard from a lot of people that the pay is less than 10 years ago. how could that be? don't these companies know that everything costs more?
anyway, any advice would be SO helpful. I have to do this, we are running out of money, and i don't want to get s.....ed by some awful company that promises everything and you end up with all ESL and no work.
thanks everybody.
I will be starting 7/1
Have you started yet? Let me know how it goes. I've been out of the MT field for almost five years. I'm going to start practicing my old dictation tapes to get back in the swing of things. I hope everything works out and I like it. :)
Starting Over, thanks!
I've got about the same amount of experience as you have. I know what you mean about working at home and trying to take care of yourself, too, sometimes hard to balance everything, but for right now, even though I miss the social aspects at times, think this is what I still need for right now. Just need to a 'little'  more exercise time somewhere, or in other words make it a priority!! to fit it in. Thanks for the encouragement! Good luck to you
just starting
with MDI and am really looking forward to it...just being able to talk with someone who is on planet earth was soooo refereshing! i guess we have to be able to weed out the crap when listening to others...i'm happily heading in!
They are getting it, starting 6/1. sm
I called and asked after I saw this. The papers are being signed today and a letter going out.
Their pay is not low. For a while, they were starting sm
everyone at 8 cpl for 90 days to see if it works out for both people. As a Lead MT for them, I see a lot of people who test well and have great resumes but either do not do what they are scheduled to do, have incredibly low volume or horrible quality. This way, it is an evaluation period for both sides.
I do know that they will start higher than that and have been thinking of a few other ideas for that evaluation period.
One thing that I find funny is that for a while, there was a $300 sign-on bonus and a few other things in place related to volume and quality that would give more, but not many people bothered to do the math and see that if they can produce 1200 lines a day with good quality, it came out to 0.09-0.10 per line for that period and beyond.
I have been with them for 5 years this June. I have never made less than $45,000 in a year and that was only one year when I took time off for surgery and my daughter's wedding; the other years I have made over $55,000.
More important is that 0.08 per line with a lot of work is better than 0.10 with nothing available. JMO.
Will someone please let me know the starting pay
for Voice Systems, LLC? Also, if anyone has any current information on the company, such as pay on time, direct deposit, ESLs, platform and anything else you can share, please do. Thanks!
Oh, sure, 260 lines just starting on DQS.
Starting with MedQuist soon...
I've been through training and was emailed earlier this week that by my hiring coordinator that she was submitting a DocQScribe user request and would update me as soon as I'm added. How long can this take, and should I email and find out what the status is? Since I'm new I don't want to appear overly annoying or anything. Should I wait it out a few more days or not?
Thank you for saying that. I was starting to feel
like it was just me, but I agree. If it is not working out, that does no one any good. I wish you the best with them!! I hope they are great for you:) I wish they had been for me.
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

I am starting for Transcend next
week. I applied for heavy on the ESLs job listing, so it will be interesting. I do so many ESLs now at MQ, I don't think it will be much different. I am going PT with them.
She is a bit old to be starting a new business, I
don't think she would be very successful because after she lied to so many people and they would not be supportive of her. She was also having some health issues. I think she made a bundle off of the sale that she said would NEVER happen and she is enjoying herself.
that was supposed to be "I believe..." (I was starting
oops.
Starting at Keystrokes Jan 2...
It was hard to leave my current position but not enough work and a tightly locked wage ceiling...have heard lots of good things about Keystrokes, and right out the gate will be making more money plus getting paid vacation which I don't have now, so I'm excited! But I agree, change is hard! Happy New Year!
You are exactly right. New things starting, I believe.
