That seems pretty low to me, esp. for your exp and it's IC., even though Psych is fairly simple.

I guess it would work for some; everyone has different needs. I sure wouldn't take it.
But if you decide to, I wish you happiness in your new job.

It's pretty straightforward, simple, not
a lot of messing around, MT-friendly. Good luck!
JMO - I absolutely despise psych work! Give me Op Notes anytime - NOT psych. nm

you must be fairly new
because if you had been there since Aug you would have mentioned how they lied about giving us a quality incentive and then failed to give it. They hire new people to train them way before they bring on accounts and you end up not having work and then getting bombarded because they put the new people on your accounts to train. There is definitely better out there. I know, I just found better believe me. Spend some time there and you will see what I mean. Yes they do leave you alone but they also use you with no remorse. The reason why they haven't hassled you about not making your line count is because they know they are taking your work away from you and using it to train new people and they lost most of their QA people and supervisors a few months ago. There isn't anyone out there to keep track of your lines, but that too will change and you will get a very nasty warning if you have a problem in that area. If you read the Nov. newsletter there was a warning about how MTs who don't make their lines only force hospitals to give their jobs to the overseas MTs and to bear that in mind if you don't work your hours or make your lines... Its not hard to put 2 and 2 together. Its a sad place and it hasn't changed in almost 5 years.
Fairly new also and
last week was the first time I hit 35 hours. I am experiencing everything that you are. I think they are overstaffed.
that's probably not what it is then, cause I'm fairly new and
only part-time. And if nobody else got anything, then it's probably something else. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Sorry to get everybody excited for nothing. I hope it's not a mistake on my bank's part. I'll do some detective work and find out who's trying to give me money.
I'm fairly new to MDI - but I was just
wondering - what's the QA like after you get through probation?
I'm still in the training/probation period. Do they tell you at the end if they're keeping you or not? If they keep you, how close of contact do they keep with you after that?
Just curious.
Should be fairly soon....
I believe they are quite busy right now because there are a ton of new accounts and we are busy busy!!! They are really good about being thorough however and I would think you will hear from them soon. I love it there, for what it is worth... If anyone else is going to apply and needs a referral, let me know... Jolena
I'm still fairly new, but nothing has ever been
said to me about not making line count. I can't see how they can fire you when you don't have the work to make your lines. If you aren't making line count and there is enough work then yes you may be terminated, though they will work with you to try to improve before that happens.
They also seem fairly flexible. sm
I was quite impressed with what they had to say and they are the best offer I've had since I started looking around 3 months ago.
Thanks again.
I will, I am fairly new, 4 weeks. nm

It is fairly easy to use
I have been using MP Count for a while now and I believe that MP Tools will be just as easy to use. Also, if you have any issues or questions, Vann Joe is always readily available to help you. (He is the person who developed the software and I believe that Emmaus is his company). Anyway, do not be afraid of throwing your $ away, because I know from experience that Vann Joe will be able to help if you have any questions regarding the new product.
I have to agree. Considering TT is a fairly
new company (est. 2001), the benefit package they offer current employees is quite good when compared to other longer established companies. I'm sure that as the company continues to grow and prosper, benefits will increase for the MTs (as has been the case in the past). I always feel greatly appreciated for my efforts.
If you just did this fairly recently..
Please be patient. Management is currently moving into a new office and it could be disrupting the phones/e-mails. I would give it a few more days. I work for them typing radiology and absolutely love it!
I'm fairly new and trying to get any information
is like pulling teeth. If that is the only problem it could be worse, but it is very frustrating.
I'm fairly new to KS, but I know they are adding
2 new accounts by February, so there should be lots of work. The account I am on is fairly new and still working out all the kinks, but right now there is a lot of work available on it too, so you might want to talk to your lead or Lee and ask for more work.
Alltype, is this a fairly good
company?
Test was really fairly easy. (sm)
I expected there to be some really difficult accents, but they weren't.
Good luck.
Ahh, "I thought" I had seen that name fairly recent.
The MTStars should not allow further job ad posting without a currrent location addres. We do sent out pretty personal ID info, (signed contract info), name, address, phone, SS#, BD, voided check for direct deposit, Driver Lic etc. That is scary. Sorry they did this to you.
mndscriberz@longlines.com
There is quite a bit of fairly recent discussion (sm)
try going to the search box farther up on the page, just make sure the MTStars radio button is marked (not Google, type JLG in the box. (for some reason the other search thing never works for me either)
Any fairly recent Med-Scribe information?
I don't see anything more recent than 6/05 in the archives. I think this one is in Floriday, but don't know for sure. Web site sounds great.
Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is
low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.
I would not work there. I did and found out they were not paying me fairly. sm
They are not a good company to work for.
Fairly tales don't have to make sense. nm

Webmedx pays fairly well, not flexible, though.
They used to hire with a 12-hour window, but I have heard they don't do that anymore, just a straight 8 schedule. Good luck.
Is it fairly commonplace to have an acute care account that is 95%
or greater ESL dictators? This is the first place I've worked out of school and I would estimate the ratio of ESL to English dictators to be 95% to 5%. I understand you cannot get away from ESLs, especially in acute care, but is this ratio commonplace?
Since I'm new, I have nothing to compare it to. Thanks for your input.
Excellent benefits at TT. I have PPO coverage with a fairly low deductible
and pay $42 per pay period. The coverage is with First Health and they do offer coverage in all states. Good prescription drug coverage also ($10 copay). Hope this helps.
I have worked there before. The owner did seem fairly nice and pleasant. However, SM
unless things have changed, the company is just very, very disorganized. Very heavy offshoring which I didn't like once I found out. I thought it WA fairly low pay. All in all, not the worst place to work but perhaps you could do better. I was paid on time, however, and once there was about a $20-something error in my check for some reason (I don't remember why), and they cut me an additional check and immediately sent it to me which I thought was very nice.
Question. Have you ever started a job and they find you can do ESLs fairly well and you get all the
hard work and no easy work after awhile. Is this the way it goes and where does the easy work go. To the newbies I guess.
Is OSI's the cost family coverage fairly reasonable or sky-high? nm

WEBMEDX - I found fairly favorable things about them in the archives..does anyone
know if they still pay by minutes of transcription rather than per line? I saw that in one past post. Would love to hear from anyone either via e-mail or post here if you work for them and are still happy? Thanks.
I thought the written was fairly easy. The typing test (sm)
was difficult for me because the specialties I was tested on were different than what I'd been working on, plus new docs that I wasn't dialed-in to, yet. Also, since the test is on a temporary platform (Express Scribe) I couldn't slow it down, and one doc was pretty fast. STILL, because of that fact I was allowed to take my time, so I looked up every term I wasn't 100% familiar with, and proofread several times. The hospital I was testing on was a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so that meant lots of new drugs & procedures; thank goodness for the Internet! Although we are paid on production, QUALITY is the most important thing. I do a lot more proofreading than I did at my previous job, and as a result I often work longer hours to make my line count, but I can break up my day any way I need to, so I'm not chained to my desk. As a result I feel a lot more relaxed than I used to, and my blood pressure has gone down, as well.
You mean, but not PSYCH?
LOL
psych
How can I find them? Could not find anything on them....is that an MT company or the name of a hospital? Thanks for any help.......
Psych
Thank you Been There, Done That. I appreciate your honesty and courage to speak out.
Psych
Thank you Old CMT. Very sound advice.

Thank you NM. This board is wonderful for helping us new MTs. I did not know that it was illegal not to pay for 45 days. I asked because I had never heard about going that long before receiving pay before. I received an email from another past employee. She said this woman is very nice over the phone but was very mean and critical to her when she was an employee. She claims she was fired for being late once during an emergency. I think I have decided I will not look further into this employer. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck .... Thank you so much for your time.
Psych
Thank you, thank you NM. This woman made me feel like such a fool for questioning 45 days before a first payment. I am new and was so unsure. She kept telling me I am sooooooo easy to work for.You have no reason to question me. You are just nervous because you are new. She seemed so nice, but also kind of like a snake oil salesman. Ha! Ha! She kept yakking about the so easy to work for so much that it made me uneasy. That is why I came here to search. I am grateful for job and experience, but I want to work for someone that is honest from the get go. Thank you so much for educating me.
I did psych and almost
did tons and tons of it, strictly psych hospital - adults and children - for quite awhile. Figured I had to get away from it when I found myself thinking Well, maybe he really does get signals from outerspace through his neighbor's television but the deciding factor was when I thought What is really so terrible about saving your feces in your dresser drawer THAT SETTLED IT FOR ME!!! 
The positive side was that it was EXCELLENT money, EASY dictators, really a gravy account.
Just try to remember that feces belongs in the toilet, NOT in the dresser, and you will do fine

Is it for KCS? If so, email me privately.
Psych pay -- too low
I pay my IC's 8 to 9 cpl, I set up standards for each type of consult with tests in the standards, so lot of times they have 2 to 4 pages already done when they begin and just have to plug in some test results and a few words here and there. I make 3 - 4 cpl off of them for the pick up of tapes, proof the reports, send back to the doctors, bill them. They also get 2-3 days to get the reports done. Each report is between 400 to 600 lines for them. Takes about 60 to 90 minutes to get each one done. To me, 0.6 is way too low. But that is me. I cannot make 50% off of my IC's and look at myself in the mirror. Patti

Try Vitallines (info@vitallines.net). I worked for them a couple of months but had to give it up as I couldn't work for 2 companies as my work picked up with my first company. The owners are very nice, fair, and the pay is average; but my own opinion, I would take a good employer, steady work, easy dictators, and very nice people over a high CPL. They stay in close contact with you if need help or have questions, but don't breathe down your neck, and leave you alone to do your work. They have an onsite IM setup in case you have questions and can ask other employees who are also very helpful. Everyone is so nice and helpful. No ESLs. I typed for a Behavioral Health/Mental Health account out of Georgia dealing with adolescent and adults. Their contact number is 678-799-4665. The owners' name are Meg and Charles Jordan.
I hope this helps.
There are a lot of MTs out there who like psych accounts.
They're super easy to type with tons of macros and not much technical medical language. It's cake money. People just aren't willing to give that up, or it's going to VR.
psych accounts
I know that Medware just got a new account that has a large psych facility.
Psych Transcription
Hello! I am a psych MT as well. I am working part time but I am looking for another part time job. Care to share if your company is recruiting? Feel free to e-mail.
TIA!
psych test
Isn't this illegal?
Maybe you need the psych eval. sm
I do believe MTSO is a medical transcription service owner - therefore, it is a person.
Secondly, you read into my post too much! No one criticized you, the recruiter, unless you have something to be defensive about, your post was very defensive in nature.
Thirdly, I was voicing my opinion, why did you take to heart? Do you really think a psych eval for MTs is a smart solution? I do not!
That is all I have to say on this topic!
Psych Evals
Agree wholeheartedly. Companies should be the ones being psychoanalyzed for their behaviors and "corporate cultures"!!!!!!
Psych evals.....sm
are growing in popularity in the job market and it's not just transcription. Employers try to screen those out that they think aren't compatible with the position; however, they have to be careful that they don't reject someone over something that could be covered under the ADA laws.
psych test
Last time I checked, SpongeBob and Xbox are names of cartoon characters and video games. What are they doing on a psych typing test in the first place? In the grand scheme of things, does the assessment, diagnosis and/or plan of treatment for psych patients hinge on the correct spelling of such things? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Ridiculous! They should have their heads examined.
Move on to greener pastures where your skills will be better utilized and appreciated. Who would want to work for them anyway?
psych stuff
Does anyone know of any company hiring that does a lot of psych work? I have been specializing in psych the past two years and like it but need to make a change. Any ideas where to look? Thanks much for any help.
Also Psych and ER....forgot about those!
