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!

Good folks to work for and good folks to work with. If you think I'm saying this because I type for them, you're wrong. I did, though, for a short period of time, am not anymore because of email foul-ups, but I do not have one bad word to say about that company. Check was always in the bank as promised. I never had an assigned account per se, which was my only problem with them, but I think that was rather a special case and no fault of theirs or mine.

If you're an IC, TSSC is the place to be.
TSSC???
In response to post below - what is TSSC? I am an IC and need more work.
TSSC! nm

What was awful about them? I was thinking of applying.
TSSC?

Anyone work/worked for TSSC here?  I did a search but only came up with posts from a year or more ago.  Any current info out there?  I'm looking for something part time to supplement my other account.  Things seem to have dried up here again with one account, kind of difficult to just relax and take the free time to prepare for the holidays when I need the money in order to do that!     TIA!


Anyone know about TSSC??

Does anyone have any experience with TSSC???


TSSC, LLC
Does anyone know if TSSC, LLC provides equipment to transcriptionists?  Any other info would be great.  I'm not finding much on the boards about them.
TSSC
if you can handle being nitpicked daily for 90 days and working on crappy dictators, they are great!

I've worked for TSSC for almost 3 years and love it! It's a great company to work for and I have no complaints.
TSSC

I work for TSSC and highly recommend them.  They don't have pools, so you get to become accustomed to the same doctor(s).  They are easy to work with, i.e., if you need more work or less work, they can adjust your work load with no problem.  Pay is 1st and 15th, direct deposit, always on time (if not early).  I have typed many, many dictators over the years (7) and think they have a supply of good dictators.  Any other questions, I'd be happy to answer.  They are also good at giving feedback.


Hey TSSC......

I realize and understand why the MTs are upset about the pay cut.  That being said, you don't know the technicalities of the whole situation.  I personally don't think that if your account was not one that was being reduced, then your pay should not be reduced.  But that is my opinion.  I am also amazed that there are people out there that actually pay more than 10 cpl!   


That being said....I am currently working part time for a company for 8 cpl (which satisfies me), and I am looking for another typing position to offer me work every day.  I would be happy to rescue some of you from your 8 and 9 cpl hell for a little more work every day.  I would just be grateful to have the extra income at this point.


Jobs are not easy to come by these days guys....be grateful that you have a job because the only alternative would be to start your own MT company, and we all know that takes money.  So, it puts you between a rock and a hard place and it sucks, I agree.  But keep in mind that there are people out there that would happily take your jobs and not fuss about it.

TSSC. Opinions, please? nm

Does anyone have web address for TSSC?
Thanks
TSSC is hiring.

I know that TSSC is hiring now.  They have an ad on the Job board.   Truly a great company to work for if you want to still work as an IC but get the accounts and get paid on time.   No bennies, but definitely worth the accounts.  They have direct deposit now also.


 


 


Opinion of TSSC
Check out TSSC's ad on the job board.  They are hiring.  GREAT company, IC status.  They have direct deposit and I know they are hiring now.
TSSC definitely worth it. sm

I just started with TSSC 6 months ago.  I think it was the best move I could make.  I have assigned accounts. I know when my work is coming and don't have to worry about it being given to someone else.   Pay is never an issue. They have direct deposit and set paydays.  No waiting for the check to come.  


TSSC is great!

I've worked for TSSC for 2 years now and they are awesome! It's a small company and the owners are great to work for. The accounts are assigned so you're able to build up your line count quicker. Direct deposit and never late. I'd give it a try!


Any info on TSSC, LLC
Could not find many posts on this company. Thanks.
Anyone here work for TSSC?
Just wondering why I sometimes get responses that include times of prior e-mails.  It's almost like they are on the defensive.  I have never encountered this type of communication and am having trouble making sense of it.  I don't need a history of communication, who did what when is not necessary for such minor requests and I find it particularly confusing.  I feel like I'm bothering them or something.  Anyone else feel like they are imposing?  I haven't worked there long but like it so far.  Wish I knew why communication was so different.  Maybe it's because they've grown so fast, could just be incredibly busy I guess.
TSSC stands for?

 Sorry, I don't know all the company names by their initials.


TSSC invo
Normally, TSSC uses no platform. Just download files and type in your Word with your expanders, etc. However, I was checking out this Avreo system myself and have just asked Tracie some production questions. Also, I see that she is offering 9 cpl, instead of 8, for this particular account. (This is the only account that I know of that uses a platform.) Will updated when I get more info.
TSSC - are they IC only? Their website gives no info at all. nm

Any information on TSSC--Bad or Good
Anyone know anything about this company??
TSSC is a wonderful co to work for for ICs. sm

Guess it just didn't work out for the poster above.  


TSSC...still only FT, IC, and using DSS files or has anything changed? Thx. nm

TSSC of South Carolina
Any info regarding this company?  Nothing on the boards and cannot find website.
Any current info on TSSC?
Starting pay?  Anything?  Thanks!
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it.    TSSC works for some people,  for some it does not.   
TSSC is hiring now, Great company. NM

Anyone out there work for TSSC- Transcription Solutions
of South Carolina.  I tested and would like to have some info before going further.  Thanks!
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm

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!!

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!
