again and have to bash a company that has pulled ahead of the crowd in terms of employee satisfaction. Sad, sad, sad.

Happy Camper, which company did you receive it from?
Anxiously awaiting gift from TT; hope it is their usual in a larger amount.  Don't need cookies, what-nots, etc. as some companies send to their MT's.  Love that monetary stuff!
It's rough.
I had a rough time of it. Had the surgery in 1994. Went to PT for about 5 months and never fully recovered. I too take breaks off and on throughout the day and do the same, feel like I'm here morning til night, but I love the flexibility, especially not having to punch a time clock. Worked for MQ for 7 years before MDI. I could never work for a company where you had to do 1000 or 1200 lines in an 8-hour shift because of the chronic pain. I just had an offer from someone who wanted 1200 in a 7-hour shift. Maybe it is account specific, I don't know, but whatever it is I'm glad they are so great to work for. I know someone who started part time with them and wasn't meeting their line committments so they let her go p.r.n., which I didn't even know thay had. She can just go on and type whenever she wants to. She has a full time job at an outside hospital. It's nice to meet you too!
I like it a lot now that I am used to it. It was rough at first but has really gotten better for me
The line count is really, really good on there!
The first one was rough as I started on the sm
3rd of the month and had to wait until the period ended (the 15th) and then 15 days to get paid.

My friend started on the 28th, so she had a check on the 15th for the 28th-31st.

Once you get that first one, the rest are the 1st and 15th, so it is easy to plan.

It seems like 6 weeks, but it is really only 4 and really only 2 weeks after the last day of the pay period.

Does that help?
Yep the adjustment has been rough. I too

went to WMX and hated every second I was there.   I gave it a fair trial I think.  Besides lack of work I hated that time clock.  Went somewhere else and now am at KS.  There has been an adjustment too, but it is more like QT.  They leave you alone, which isn't necessarily good when you have questions, but there is a lot of work and some flexibility depending on account. 


Going from gross lines to 65 character hurts and I feel like I'm killing myself to get the required 1200 lines, when I could easily do 1700+ at QT in less hours. 


 


No, most are good. There are a couple that are a little rough
but I don't think as bad as the test files.
I suggest you ask for a mentor to help you through the rough spots.
I had trouble with the demog screens at first but I got a routine down and now they go very quickly for me.  My production is back up even higher than at my old company.  Good luck. 
I'm surprised he is still around. I've heard he's had a rough time
could just be rumors. I heard someone was trying to buy/force him out.
Yeah, both.. Really rough accounts but exceptionally nice people.
It's a shame but some of the accounts were really high ESL. I did like the people though and would have stayed if the accounts were different.
Just because someone does not receive
their paystub, does not mean it was not sent. With the banks being closed, if funds were sent and missed the deadline, it would be the next business day before it is posted. I always get my paystub the day AFTER deposit.
Didn't receive it either...
I'm not directing this question to you but just wondering why some of us receive these E-mails and some of us do not? Does it matter what account you're on?

You should receive it Saturday. Sometimes

Anyone receive their Medscribe (FL) W2 yet?

zz


Anyone from Spheris receive theirs?
xxx
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
MTs don't stay long enough to receive anything
NMN
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm

They receive money from companies

did not receive yahoo request sm
can you resend it as I did not get it.  You have my yahoo email there right?  I will be back in about 2 hours adn will check for it again then.  thanks so much!!
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'


Obviously you don't receive the crappy quality of drafts...sm
that I see all day long on this system.  They claim that it learns but it doesn't, because my coworkers and I make the same corrections over and over again to the same things. 
I heard everyone should receive them by 10/7. Still waiting on mine.

Batch receive/send work?
Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches?  I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time.  30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology.  I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home.  Hate this winter driving!!!
What companies acknowledge MT week and, if so, what do you receive? nm

Sometimes I want to hire the first professional resume I receive!
And just because it is so well done!

Those email wallpapers make my eyes cross and twitch after a little bit of time! If I cannot read it easily, I chunk it.

I hate it that people cannot be more thoughtful of their own careers but I'm not getting paid to advise them of their mistakes.
I agree with the above. You receive no appreciation. I would stay where you are. nm

New people hired are last to receive work.

This is the confidentiality clause on email I receive

This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

The way I translate that whole paragraph is:
I am the intended recipient. The rest of the paragraph does not apply.

However, if I were NOT the intended recipient, THEN I am hereby notified regarding disclosure, copying, distribution, blah blah blah blah.

Go prove your case and get what is owed to you.

Good luck.
I didn't receive a score but the test was hard.

I'm almost afraid to ask what I got. 


Is it okay to not receive any mail from the office for a few days at a time? (sm)

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.  Had been getting memos quite frequently and now nothing since last week.  Didn't want to call the office and look like a boob, so thought I would check here first.  TIA.


 


Yes...Career Step has a referral program where you receive something like sm
50.00 for every person who signs up for Career Step through you. I BET they are affiliated. How unprofessional can one co. be?
I live in Idaho.. and our laws are that you can only be fired and NOT receive unemployment ..
if you were fired for gross misconduct and boy is that a loose term. I worked for an office that fired two transcriptionists, each were absolutely horrible and used wrong terminology etc.. yet they were able to get unemployment because although they were obviously not competent for the job, they do not consider that gross misconduct. Strange laws here.. Just means you can stink at your job, get fired, and still get paid.. We believe one of the transcriptionists intentionally screwed up so bad that she would be fired and could collect unemployement.
I have never heard of that....always waited until regular pay day to receive final check.
Any company I have resigned my position from, I just received my final check like usual on the regular pay date scheduled. No big deal, it was always in my bank when it was supposed to be.

I receive an anonymous email from someone that had a friend go to work for them and it was bad news.
Glad I passed it up. It sounded awful, no communication and no work etc..
I didn't even receive the courtesy of an e-mail, phone call, etc. sm
I thought the test was very easy. I've got 18-years of experience, sent a cover letter (that I spent an hour on) in addition to my resume and got not response whatsoever. The least an MTSO could do is say, Thanks, but no thanks. Daily applications, cover letters, and testing without so much as an email is beyond frustrating!
My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
providers will be required to have EMR.
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!

Feedback
I always get answers to my emails at SPI Healthcare Documentation.
Thanks for the feedback! sm
Thanks so much for replying. The only downside I can see is that I need to purchase Word 2003 to work with their software and that's a bit of a financial stretch right now, but worth it in the long run, of course, if things work out well.

Thanks again! :)
appreciate the feedback, but looking
hopefully for someone working with them now or very recently.

Overhire, loads of ESLs, line count on some accounts hard to get. Prior posts comment on high cost of insurance.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. :) NM

Thanks to ALL for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.
I need full-time with benefits also.  I just don't want to spend the time testing if they don't offer employment status. Anywho, thank you much.
Any feedback on...

Any feedback on OSi Transcription Services?  I'm looking to get my foot in the door with a good company to work for.


Thanks,

Feedback
I don't think anyone particularly cares to be corrected. However, sometimes even QA'ers are even corrected, or worse yet, depended upon to correct vital errors. It is definitely a sensitive and stressful situation for all involved. I think an issue comes into play when MTs are not paid enough but yet expected to produce a perfect report. A QA/editor in this position would certainly be at a disadvantage in the popularity category. No one is going to like this Ms. Smartypants no matter how the feedback is delivered. Companies need to compensate more and give the MTs the recognition they deserve. Most MTs will work hard and want to do a good job if they are recognized monetarily, or even appreciated. At present, MTs feel unappreciated and worked to death. To me, its kinda like a sweatshop mindset going on these days. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Need feedback
On WebMedx (spelling?).  Any and all, please.
TY for the feedback sm
where do you work now if I may ask and how do you like it there? I'm currently looking for a FT MT position with flexible scheduling.
Thanks for feedback-sm

How do you like working on the Emdat platform?  Do you find it to be productive? 


TiA!
