Recommended Companies?
Here are some companies I am interested in applying with, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding any of them? I have cut my hours with MQ to PT, and I'm looking for a second PT job. So far here are the ones I have found...
DSG, TRS, All Type, Keystrokes, Transcription Express, MedScribe, Cymed. Thanks in advance for any info! :)
Not recommended
Only pay once a month, very low pay, you can find something better guaranteed.
I recommended MTA
I would strongly recommend Medical Transcription Associates, Inc. out of Virginia. They are a small transcription company but the owners are wonderful family oriented people. They only pay .05 per line but they treat you wonderful and they have a lot of work.
Not recommended
They constantly change teachers and I went through 4 teachers in 9 months because they all quit and they don't tell us why, and they never answered my questions and I finished the course not knowing anything and not being able to get a job. Not worth the money I paid!
Not recommended
I would definitely not recommend, at least for their school which I went to and didn't learn anything. They constantly were changing teachers and would never answer my questions. There are other schools out there I should have gone to because I still can't get a job. :(
not recommended
Right worst company ever to work for, unstable management and hostile. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
not recommended
Issues with paying on time. Need I say more?
Highly recommended by someone else...
another MT who I have a lot of respect for who worked for them as an IC in the past highly recommended them to me. Said the owner is great and the work is good. They didn't have what I was looking for at the time but I've kept them on my list for future reference!
So what company is recommended?
Would those of you who moved on please suggest a good company to apply to? Thanks
Totally agree ATSI not recommended
They subcontract with Spheris. Just about when you get one account learned they lose that account or switch you to another one with complete different specs and learning curve decreases line count. Want to be a full-time employee with benefits not happening here at this company
Several companies on the Job Seeker's Board pay that.
I see 3 right now. I can't say who they are, but they are there.
Board is for talking BETWEEN the MTs, not the companies!
Aren't you being ugly? LOL
Maybe you should be pulled!
There are companies on this board advertising for 8 cpl
They also want you to pay your own taxes, provide equipment,and pay your own long distance service. PLEASE. Don't do it.
Can companies track who you are on this board?
If you post a question/comment here about your company, if they wanted to know who you are, it is possible for them to track down who you are?
Thanks
I will bet if all these companies had message board that sm
you would still see the same things as on the MQ board. Same crap goes on everywhere.
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
What the heck happened to this business!
It's amazing to read this board and see how many rotten MT companies there are out there!
Only if you believe what you read on this web site. Personally, I would not put one ounce of thought into what someone anonymously writes.
Doesn't this board not allow posts or ads by companies that outsource?
nnm
are you serious? This board is for MTs to get information about companies from personal experience.
nm
?? company board, can talk about specific companies by name (nm)

Posting on the company board and companies figuring out
who it is. Okay, this is the topic, and the reason why I am bringing this up is there were at least 2 posts here in the last week stating they believed the company would find out or did find out they posted here and they said negative things and might get fired or did not get hired because of it.
How is this possible? Can a recruiter or boss actually pin down who is posting? What if someone says something and they are a troll and sounds like a situation which the company person perceives is an employee and they take it out on the possible new hire or employee and they are wrong?
There have been posts here in the past by company managers who say if they find out who is posting they will sue for slander. Then, MTs come on here and assume that the companies go to the board managers and get the IP address to figure out who this is. Even if it was a certain IP address, and they went through this whole process to find out, it could be routed through another IP address such as overseas (this is often done in the case of hiding identity).
Since this is an anon board, how can any company say for sure it is a certain person. Why would they go to the trouble unless it were given to the police or a lawyer in the case of attempted murder or threat of such?
I want to know you opinions. And moderator please feel free to comment. Wondering if our IP addresses are given out every time a company suspects something and if so, is this an invasion of our privacy since this should be anon. Or, is it that people are paranoid, whether it be the employee/new hire, or company assuming such. Remember to never assume because why? You make an *** out of u and me.
Thanks for your comments. This has been bothering me a while now, and I would like to get some input back on this issue from companies and from posters alike.
I stick to it
While others simply disappear during the day. Its very easy to work a management job and take on another typing job at the same time, or even another management job for another company all within the same hours!!! Dang double dippers, guess they'll be having a wonderful Christmas while I sit here having to put everything on charge cards. I have absolutely no respect for these people and I do know quite a few. I don't talk to them unless I absolutely have to.
Don't quite know where to stick this, but
does anyone know if there are different legalities on this sort of thing depending on who owns the computer that was used; such as, personally owned PC or one owned by the company that has a problem with what was said on it?
Exactly..please stick to the truth.

don't stick by their words
There is way too much of that in this industry.
Of course you stick it out with a smile. Really. That's what I would do. sm
Remember, she probably won't last long and then you one day may have her job. Don't let one person out of other really good ones spoil your new position. If it continues longer than a month or so, go above her head and speak your concerns. She's probably just testing you. You know if you are doing a good job or not, and if you KNOW you are doing a good job, then just take her comments with a grain of salt and continue working. Don't make a huge deal out of QA people who are rude. I swear, if I did that, I would have had over 50 jobs by now! Each and every single company I've worked for (3) have had at least one Grinch of a QA person and at first I would get all upset and then I grew up and realized that they are just grinches and the kind of people who probably really, really dislike themselves, so how can they like anyone else????
This is true - the IRS can stick it to them
Contact an accountant or the IRS directly (slow time of year anyway). Ask them - there are 21 points companies have to comply with for independent contractors - find out what those are. I know they cannot tell you when to work, discuss how you work, ask about working for others, etc. - there MUST be something in there about the pay issues, as well. DO NOT LET ANYONE GET AWAY WITH THIS. They will push it as far as they can, and will only stop when they are threatened with trouble with IRS - so make sure they are not violating IRS guidelines for working with ICs.
Why do ppl have to stick OSI on every post
nm
I am in the same boat. Trying to stick it out
Glad that we have 2 incomes here. When I was a single mom could not have afforded to do this. What a shame!
I would try to stick it out as long sm
as you have your foot in there. Most companies won't even consider you for acute care if all they see is clinic - you might actually like acute care once you get past the learning curve. Good luck!
Perhaps you might stick to citing the law instead of SM
psychotic-like ramblings.
Not to be a stick in the mud but what new account? sm
I know we were supposed to get 3 new accounts before November, but what is the rest of the story? Please e-mail me if you cannot post because I had no idea there was something going live.
I have to stick up for angry.
I am happy but I get unhappy when someone tries to push something off that is simply not true. She started her post with an untruth by saying she was in the trenches when it was pointed out in several posts that she is a team lead which is far from the trenches if you read the position open ads from Transcend - it is a lower management position that is used as a stepping stool.
She does not even give the same information about outsourcing that is given by the higher levels of management.
And her worry about offshoring or outsourcing or whatever word you want to use for sending our work to foreigners so they can take our jobs away is a croc - since the company was with before had a school in offshore.
If these positive thinkers would just post the truth it would be a lot better. When you start reading management posts that are not true, you wonder how much more is being hidden that you will uncover the longer you work for them.
You cannot say that any company is without problems. All you can say is how much effort is being made to correct what is wrong and let people make up their minds from that.
All we get is the short end of the stick. - nm
glad I didn't stick
around too long at TT. I thought it was bad organization myself. Just my little input from experience!
Stick up lke they did to DMV outsourcing to Mexico
Everybody was outraged when they found out DMV was sending work and private info to Mexico. Wake up people! I have access to more information than DMV on the health records, yet nobody cares that transcription is being outsourced every where outside the US. You should see my medical records from my treating physicians that are transcribed overseas. i have never seen such a mess. It is no wonder that I flatlined on my last surgery. Somebody typed the wrong doses of medication, and the anesthesiologist gave me too much sedation.
I chose to stick with Clinic.....sm
because, in my experience, they are almost always closed or at least very, very slow on holidays.
So, over the years I decided I wanted a M-F schedule with holidays off. That's why I stick with Clinic notes.
Good luck!
New accts. Can I beat myself with a stick now? A-G-G-H
nm
Why do you guys stick around to be treated like this? sm
How awful! Come to Webmedx where people are nice and answer your questions!
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm
Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts.
There is no way in HE double hockey stick that I would EVER take that job
You say you need the job, but I can guarantee you with that account you'd make more at McDonald's. So, think hard before you step into that. They'd have to offer me 40 cpl to do that job, and it still wouldnt be worth having to buy wigs and Tylenol when I yanked out all of my own hair and banged my head on the desk all day LOL...keep us posted..
Stick figure artist
These folks who throw stones at the high producers remind me of the story of Robert Fulton and his steamboat. When he was about to launch it on its first trip down the river, the naysayers said very loudly You'll never get it started. He did, of course, get it started. The naysayers they began to chant You'll never get it stopped! The moral being that there is no pleasing some people. It is ever so much easier to embrace negativity as an excuse for one's own failure to produce that it is to work on one's own areas that need work. I have always been amazed that such folks did not use these opportunities to learn how to improve their productivity. When I was beginning, many, many years ago, I was grateful for people who would mentor me and give me suggestions. Come to think of it, I still am. I have a friend who has been an MT as long as I have and she at one point was making 100K per year. I have never made 100K per year. Was I jealous? Did I put her down? No, I asked her for some suggestions, which she was kind enough to give. I learned from her and it helped my own productivity. Jealous bashing would not have helped me at all. Learning from her did. Nuff said.
I think they stick their head in the sand
because they only think about their own well-being for the present minute. Wow! Golly Geez! Some company will hire me! They don't realize that by going with a company that offshores, they are participating in their own destruction. I am always amazed at how many people lack critical thinking skills.
They can take their idiotic 'CMT' and stick it
REPEATEDLY!
I'd tell em to stick that offer in their CT scanner,
...Nuke it REAL good.
So why don't you LEAVE already? I don't understand MTs who stick sm
around someplace they obviously don't want to be. Or do you just like bad-mouthing?
Thanks so much, will stick with my .08 cpl and American doctors.
That many keystrokes worked out to 925 lines +/- a day. You have to stick to 8 hrs a day, though. St
,
My gosh, I can do 300 lph of ERs!!!! But they stick me on bottom crawler
I am swimming through sludge making sometimes 70 lines an hour.
And after an hour of that kind of garbage I'm exhausted.
. . . and God forbid you don't stick STRINGENTLY to the schedule!
You know, this is very important! You're not getting paid by the hour, you're not getting paid salary, you're getting paid PRODUCTION only, so what the heck difference does it make if you're getting the same amount of lines while working the schedule or at 2:00 in the morning?????
Pay us by the hour if you want us on a schedule! You can't have it both ways, people.
No I haven't experienced it because when I get a job I stick with it and don't go applying any
else. And I'm sure it doesn't make any difference if that statement amused me or not, just like it doesn't make any difference to anyone else how skilled you are or how skilled you think you are. The post was about DSG, that's it. Not about anyone falling over themselves to hire you. Just simply stating that you didn't get a call back would have been sufficient, not having to brag about your skills. Obviously DSG didn't know about your skills since they didn't call you back, so that wasn't an issue and there was no point in mentioning it.
