AAMT cannot discriminate because of this law (I asked them years ago). I think 50% of new MTs being from India shows their determination and pursuit of excellence; perhaps American MTs need to follow their example and compete! I challenge MTs to be the best they can, and that is at this pont determined by their ability to pass the CMT exam. Go, girls!

NAFTA
What I would like to know is how long the American people are going to believe everything they hear. NAFTA is so great? My husband, a Teamster truck driver, had a bumper sticker on his truck back during the signing of NAFTA. It said, NO NAFTA, THE JOB YOU SAVE WILL BE YOUR OWN. Yep. Now they're about to start those big rigs roaring across the Mexican border. Guess what that's going to do to American truck drivers? Not to mention the Mexican trucks and drivers aren't going to be held to the the same safety standards as American drivers. If you think that doesn't affect YOU, when was the last time you shared road space with one of those 80,000 pound monsters?
I refuse to shop at Walmart. Americans are going to pay a heavy price for that
cheap imported crap, which really Walmart isn't much if any cheaper! Walmart has done a real good brainwashing job. Speaking of which, how long has it been since you saw the signs in Walmart that said, Buy American? Right. Now they say, bring it home to America. Get the meaning?
NAFTA
It is sad to see all of our jobs (not only medical transcription) going overseas. I know quite a few people who have lost their jobs because of it, and have had a very hard time finding a new job. It is sad to see so many homes that are empty because of foreclosures. You wonder how many more people will have to lose their jobs and homes before someone wakes up and realizes what is going on and put a stop to all the offshoring.
NAFTA was never implemented for
NAFTA was implemented for the good of those with deep pockets and by that, I don't necessarily mean big corporations but those handfull of filthy rich that run the country and not just this one. They are your dozen or so OLD families that have been around a long long time. They run the Federal Reserve. Keep in mind, the US borrows billions of dollars from other countries. The Federal Reserve owns this country. Do some history research. Here's an interesting article..... When we start looking for a good leader for our country, this will stop. Google Ron Paul.

NAFTA was ratified in 1993 under Clinton. sm
Offshoring has bipartisan support in the Senate. It is no one party's fault. Please inform yourself.
Much good work going to India. Bad work left
xx
Now most of the work is done in India.

To say the work that comes in from India is awful...
... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.
Work is going to India or some other country. nm
All of CBays work goes to India. nm
:
Most of their work is done in India by Indian MTs. sm
Tell your lead person you need more work and commit to it. They will work with you if you are good with a high accuracy rating.
Good luck - been there, done that, ain't going back ever!
Exactly. India work stinks.

You are a fool to think US work won't go to India
Happened to a group of us. We had a US force and India force, and guess what, it was more cost efficient to send ALL work overseas, hence all US employees laid off. You really are naive to think they won't do that someday, but I hope you drain their pockets dry before they do.
What has sending work to India done?
We have upset the economy of India, creating an even larger rift and making the poor even poorer because we have inflated the economy in the cities and of those who have had a chance to be educated. The poor have lost even more footing.
We have lost job opportunities for our own Americans, but the companies continue charge the hospitals the same amount for transciption, however their overhead continues to drop, corporate salaries continue to increase and our rate of pay stays the same or drops.
India is a country that allows very very little importing of anything made in the US, so it is a 1 way deal for them.
The individuals from other companies do not pay taxes, so we continue to pay to support those in our country who have gone on the public roles for aid and assistance.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have some of these people working again?
Yes they do send work to India
I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
go to India and work with those people sm
you support so well.
I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&
nm
I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.
:
I edit the work that comes back from India. (sm)
Not sure why they did not tell you the truth. That REALLY bothers me.
Anyone know anything about Cbay out of Maryland and if all their work goes to India. Do they use any
American MTs or what is the deal.
Yep, all the work is in India now. I bet the quality is great! sm
They'll get theirs in the end. They should be ashamed of themselves. What a crappy way to tell us too. The supervisors didn't even have the balls to tell us, they made HR do it. We should file a lawsuit.
MDI-FL has India contact they supply work to. nm
nm
Yeah..they are dishonest. They most certainly are in India. Do you really want to work for someone
that is dishonest?? not me..
Check the archives. Most work done in India, they
have office in India. I have never seen anything good about them.
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.
.
Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
And they are proud to have these partners
Plenty of work if you live in India
.
Correct --did NOT off-shore work to India sm
The rest of the post was **...SENT WORK TO INDIA A FEW MONTHS AGO** making it sound like MTs were laid off BECAUSE their work went to India.
If you have any familiarity with this company, you know that the none of the DRC/Acusis accounts are allowed by the clients to be typed outside of the US.
So YES, there was a lay-off, but NO it didn't have anything to do with India.
PS: Offshore and outsource are not the same thing. But you know that, too, right? ;-)
It's not just overhiring. They are sending the best work to India.
They have always sent work there but I believe they have geared up these efforts in the past six months, and the easiet work (ER). That is when I noticed there was not consistent work. I had to move on and so will others.
No India? Most of the work goes there. I quit last August SM
could not make any money there.
Spheris sends most work to India. SM
They are most certainly NOT a company to work for, if you are a single mom.
Does Transtech send work to India? nm
nm
Not hiring because they send most their work to India
Anyone know anything about Cbay at all in Maryland. Do they only send their work to India.
:
good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...
I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).
hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.
Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
go work for them and you will see - managers, supervisors all from India and IM you to death! nm
x
I'd bet my boots it's work that is going overseas to India or Pakistan. nm
I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India
after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.
Let me sum it up for you, 80% of work is done in India, they just laid off a bunch of American
QA people, some of which were hired only a few months before they were fired, and they just now fired a lot of their upper management. Something is in the wind at Focus and it smells like crap! Don't work there. If you do decide to ignore the warnings, don't believe anything they tell you! They lie to you right up until they call and fire you.
Absolutely, sends work to India, Phillipines...sm
She's something alright, sending work offshore instead of paying someone in the US a workable wage. Name of company is Another Medical Must...owned by Renee Lella....look her up on Google and see how that's worked for her in the past, with a major leak of patient records due to dealing with the Indian company and their MTs. She trains her MTs most of the time using her cell phone in the car while doing errands or picking up kids...horrible. Bad, bad experience, never again. She looks at this board occasionally and still posts for job openings once in a while, but always under an alias or different name, sometimes maria...sometimes another name. Shifty.
Guess our work will eventually go to India now. Going to start looking for another job! (NM)
nm
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)
xx
Just dont ever forget the work that goes to India and other countries. I guess they will be doing
weekends etc. I am sure MQ has this all very nicely figured out.
Anyone know of a place that hires for over-flow work (besides people in India!!)
 Just a few hours a week?
work is decreasing because VR is replacing 10 MT's with 2 and India et al is taking 2 jobs out
x
Can you saying..work going to India.. I knew you could. All we get is the awful stuff. Why dont they
send that garbage to the folks in India to do. They have about as much chance of being able to do it as we do.
Apparently, they have contracted with India to work some accounts as they are getting paid less on
these accounts. Obviously, labor is cheaper in India. So, they have to send the work where they can afford to. I know I'm done with them. Pretty soon, there will be no jobs left because these hospitals apparently want cheap labor. You get what you pay for is all I am saying.
Funny about sending work out to India. I was curious and pulled up their
website, it says they NEVER send work outside the U.S.
Transcend sends all the good work to India and leaves all the
garbage for the MTs in the States so they can keep the indian slime working. n donkeys are that do the work. Transcend is not a good place to work
Focus offshores 80% of their work to India. And I heard they are headed
x
And you're okay with working for a company that sends most of its work to India and
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!
