Call any toll free # for them and they can route you

Some companies do have toll-free numbers.
I have had that before as well.
Not all companies have toll-free numbers.
The one I work for does not. Even to call tech, it is not toll-free.
Have phone number for MDI-MD,

301-236-6770, have not been able to find web site.  You can Google U.S. Medical Transcriptionists Directory.  It lists transcription companies by state.  You'll find MDI-MD there, but gives no web site.  Hope this helps.


Do they have a new phone number?
The one in California is no longer valid, the one in Virginia just has a generic we are not available answering machine.  What's up?  Do you know what's going on? 
Thanks for providing the phone number
I saw where you provided a phone number for OSi below.  I just called them and ask them to check out your posts.  I hope you've enjoyed working there.  I also hope your mama knows someone at another MT company.
Transcend phone number
Sorry, I spelled it wrong and of course I meant TRANSCEND.  It is Monday morning, after all.
Now you could use the phone number of an acting coach
so immature
Dept. of Labor phone number
For Labor Dept, your point of contact depends on where you live I believe. The number to start with is 866-444-3272. Good luck, and please post if you learn anything new. This has been going on for me for nearly a year and not resolved.
What?! Do you have your number listed in the phone book?
This is the same info they can get out of the phone book, i.e., name, address, and phone number. This is not what they use to commit identify theft. They would use the general information from your resume to phish for more detailed information, such as SS# or bank account/cc account info. This is also what they would get out of your trash if for some reason you don't shred this info before you throw it out. Also, with past employers, they are only allowed to give basic info, such as length of employment and whether you're eligible for rehire. They can be held legally responsible if they give out detailed information about you!

I am very realistic that I'm not immune to identify theft, but also I know the law and know that I shouldn't be paranoid about someone stealing my identity. I take the appropriate steps to protect myself and monitor my credit report frequently.
It says Navesys.com on the reply name by their phone number
I found them on the web, but not their company site. I found a write up they are combined 20 or more years of experience and they have MTs in the US and India. I am still a little afraid to apply, though, since I have never heard of them even on this board. Any input if anyone knows would be appreciated.
Provide it to the moderators along with TB's phone number to call. :)

That is a shame - maybe he/she will e-mail you again with the resume or phone number. nm

If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
I do not have access to her phone number. I can just assume she has already hired all the help
she needed, but thanks...
I agree, especially when they had to produce a phony number and gave someone's home phone with th
answering machine on. I also feel it's a fishing expedition. I guess we'll all soon find out...
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
They changed buildings so maybe the phone number also changed...
They are still going strong...
Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!

Legitimate
Well, does anyone know if Transcription At Its Best is a legitimate transcription company?
Legitimate
But, it's network marketing and some folks reject it outright without giving it a chance.  Too bad.  My heart aches for the struggling MTs who claim they are poor and starving but turn their noses up at a legitimate alternative where they could become independently employed by themselves at home.  There are a lot of legitimate work at home network marketing companies, most being in the wellness industry.  IMHO, the one I am training with tomorow is the best out there.  Some of the folks who are now millionaires in this company were just as poor as me 25 years ago when I first met them.  I'm a dummy for not joining them back then. 
Legitimate Companies
Is there any way in knowing if the employers who post on the job boards or in the employment section of this forum are legitimate?  For example, I see a job offer posted by someone named Patti.  Why won't they give their full name or company name?  It just makes me wonder if it's really legitimate.  I won't apply for a position unless I know they are a reputable company.  But it makes me wonder if just anyone can post here.
Do you have anything legitimate to share in this thread?
Or are you just bored because you're out of work?
I agree that they may not be a legitimate company.
See post my me above in response to internship post. 
Finding legitimate companies

The best thing you can do is ask around on message boards about a company that peaks your interest.  There is usually somebody who has heard something before or has worked for them.  Search the message board for old messages about that company.  Just make sure you do lots of research before you accept any offers.  You may want to check out transcription matchmaker on the internet.


Netscript...a legitimate company??
I just talked with Doug from there today and was wanting to do some research on the company before signing the contract.  I did not want to give my bank info and SSN to them without knowing if it was a LEGITIMATE company.  So, would you say they are legitimate, like they are not going to get into my bank account or anything??  I understand that they are a bad company to work for, but I am in need of the work right now, so I don't really care about that.  I just need to know that they don't get into your bank account and they do really pay you for your work.  Thanks!!  Any info would be appreciated!
Legitimate work-at-home job that isn't MT????
Please spill it! You don't have to say which company if you're worried about all of us suddenly jumping in with resumes, just what industry? Thanks!
Are the corrections legitimate? If so, maybe you have a few things to learn still..

There is a difference between bashing and legitimate negative opinion. nm

That's probably why most legitimate junior colleges don't even have an MT program anymore
Only fly-by-night crap schools have MT programs because it's an easy way to get money out of desperate people.

Go to an accredited college and get a real degree that you can use.
Yes - Excalibur Remote Workforce is Legitimate although there is a small fee!
They are legitimate although they do charge a small fee which I didn't mind paying since they are legitimate.

I joined with Excalibur and I have been happily working with the company now for 5 months as a contractor on their client referral position as Medical Transcriber.

Don't let the fee discourage you - its for your background check verification and their work at home job bank registry.

Thanks & Good luck!

Stop the mudslinging crap about all companies. If you have a legitimate complaint and

can BACK IT UP, then feel free to post, however if all you want to do is consistently mudsling with no real facts, take it somewhere else.


Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
nn
Free sure. There are free on-line fax

services, in fact I used one last week.   Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though.  You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.


She could have mailed paperwork back. 


C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.

If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.


And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert.  Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling.  :-)



Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)


 


 


C-Phone = Connexions Phone

Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

US MTs are just a number to HIS
HIS just needed US-based MTs so that their clients would stay and they could finally break even!
Tax ID number

I am just trying to estimate my taxes and my tax program won't do anything without a tax ID number....I tried the Medquist board twice with no response.  could some former or current  MQ'er take pity and email me the tax ID number?? smedmiston@bellsouth.net.


Wonder how they got your number?
I guess that is what would bug me the most :-)
I have the number

I got offered a full-time position and got phone numbers and e-mails with no problem.  I have the transcription manager's cell.  E-mail for details.


They did offer me an check if i wanted it.  I chose the direct deposit, but i think they will pay by check too.


Number 1, 2, and 3
1. I come to this site for a break and to see what other MTs are doing or not doing. Sometimes I post and sometimes do not.

2. No one said anything about delirium but if being happy because your are not being taken advantage of by a company, then yes, we are; however, apparently some just want to express relief.

3. Hanging out on a site where people are looking for a job for transcription, to me at this point in my life, is to break and hang out with my peers.

4. Large groups of people are not deliriously trying to get people to Keystrokes, I think just sighing, I know I am after all I have been though.

Hope this helps. Can we express opinions if we are not looking for job? I like the main board too.
Wish it was just one number.......
By the way, I'm not working today. Are you?
Which FOF number were you in?
I was in FOF 12 with Rachel. I'm still having to use Netcare for my account, which is good i guess, because was already familiar with it from training.

About my name, I love it. My great-grandmother suggested it, so I got it, then got her first name as my middle name. So it worked out perfectly.
There are a number of different
versions of Meditech.  I type in Meditech Magic using Shorthand expander.  I know lots of people copy and paste from Word, but I'm afraid I will screw something up.  I really like Meditech because I get paid by the gross line.  I make more money on this account than anywhere else.  I also like Meditech because the patient's entire chart is available so rarely do I have to leave any blanks.  Lab values can be verified, x-rays reports are accessible, etc..  It's not made for the MT, true, but there are a lot of benefits to using it. 
number
Call 800-788-0629 and ask for the payroll rep - they may want your last name as different employees handle different letters (some do payroll for last names A-F, etc.)
SS number
Why would an IC need to give out a SS number? They don't match your contributions, so I would think they would have to accept a tax ID number. I really don't know. Probably curious as well.
here's their site and number sm

You must know the office number
Hello there,
I will be at the office all day tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Would love to talk to you again.

1-800-205-7047

Thanks,
Liz
IC MT, do you have a certain number of lines (sm)
or hours you *require* for yourself? How many hours in a given day do you work? Thanks!!!! That helps.
Thanks for the contact number.. I will do that! ... nm
