The account was not lost. It was fired, if that is what you do to accounts that you do not want. s

I have been there for 4 years. They have not lost any accounts but have gotten rid of 3 accounts. One of them was definitely the one you are talking about as it is the only one I ever saw with such blatant cherry picking by hospital staff. They were not even hospital staff; they were hospital employees that were let go and went in to work as ICs.
I have been a lead and stepped down recently due to family obligations.
They continue to grow steadiily and the changes over the years have all been positive. They truly do value their employees and stand strong on no offshore, which is important to me.
I would give them a call if you do not like where you went. Several have found that the grass is not greener and came back. A few were not taken back, but I find them to be fair.
I do not think that the company is perfect (i.e. no downtime pay) but I usually have plenty of work, get paid on time and like the people I encounter. I get asked to work extra, but that should stop now that there are more MTs on my main account.
They do not overstaff; I am very grateful for that.

Other lost accounts?
Besides the 120 account and Florida Hospital (don't know that site #), what other accounts have been dropped lately? I don't know about acute care or clinic sites, but ER has been very, very slow for the past 3 weeks or so. I don't know if it is all related to the loss of 120 or if there are others that haven't been mentioned yet.
wonder why we lost all these accounts?
Does anyone know what happened? Why did we lose them all at once?
Other accounts have been lost too. It would
be nice if someone would at least tell us what was going on so we can decide what we need to do. I laughed about the Indian signing the paycheck. While they do or did have an Indian working in the office I hardly think they are going to send the payroll to India.
They lost some major accounts, one to
voice recognition and the other was overflow work but still it's gone. THey are hoping site 120 and the clinics that go with it do not work out with voice recognition since a lot of the docs were hard.
Wow, is there a reason they lost so many accounts like this. nm
:
Lost accounts are mounting up
I was convinced is not going to get better so picked up FT elsewhere. Hopefully they won't cut off my benefits until I can get past the eligibility period at new place as I hate there to be a gap in my kids' health insurance! I cannot depend on them any longer to take care of me and my kids. Look everywhere you can. Take care of yourself, especially if your benefits are with the Web. I am on site now and loving it. And it isn't hard to work 2 full time jobs when one has no work!
Have you tried to go with the account they lost.

that account was lost too nm

account lost was....
I started in September as QA2 on TOA, which is the account they lost. All the files were being done overseas, or at least most of them. There was only 2 of us QAing all of these and there was always a backlog of 1500+. The other QA then got fired and there was only me until they hired a few more. Then was told all work was coming back to US, so they overhired. TOA is a big account and there was also another service doing them. More and more, the doctors were going to the other service. We were all let go on 1/30.
If you are waiting for 1099 from them, I talked to them yesterday and they said the payroll company screwed up and they were getting them today and would send them out today.
Ab article below that says Proscript lost a lot of their accounts. Can someone tell me about this as
I am interested in this company or at least I was.
Heartland has lost numerous accounts before
nothing new! I trained on new accounts and then was told that a) they went to India because they could keep up with TAT and b) they no longer have that account..... time to start looking!
How would we know that they lost a huge account? sm
They never communicate with their MTs.
They lost big account. Go to Webmedx with
xx
Somebody must have lost a BIG Account. Feel sorry for MTs (sM)
that might be effected by this.
Anyone know why OSi (GA) lost big account today? (nm)

My experience........they lost the account...sm
this has happened to me so much in the 16 years I have been doing this, when something like what you described happens to me, my first thought IS that the account has gone some place else.
Yep, exactly -- TransTech lost accounts and I truly believe is in financial trouble right now !
That small overflow account acquired has not paid yet, and the HUGE hospital they lost is no longer paying them.
I really think TT is in lots of trouble right now money-wise. Keeps changing payroll companies due to *floating* and not having the money for the payroll company, is my thoughts.
We had the best payroll company in the world -- but TT all of a sudden changed . . . and I mean ALL OF A SUDDEN, so much so that all our payroll information was WRONG, etc. Horrible time with this new payroll company, but it was a FAST decision made on TT's part. Probably had no choice except to change payroll companies.
TT is not stable as far as financial backup. Just imagine after losing a HUGE hospital account how much less money was coming in this week and prior. Those little overflow accounts just don't bring in a lot of monies. Dictaphone controls how much money TT gets -- due to Dictaphone owning the platform and dividing up the work between Dictaphone's customers !
 times for TT now.
You obviously haven't a clue what you are talking about. TT has NOT lost any accounts. TT is NO
having financial troubles. Dictaphone does NOT control the money or the accounts. I would strongly suggest you refrain from posting that erroneous information here or face the consequences.
Did we not just lose a lot of MTs with the accounts that we lost? What the heck did we hire (sm)
around 15 more MTs for then? Why would they post the welcome to new employees for July and August? Yes, perhaps they were hired before we lost that account and were anticipating a new one, but get real. Some of those employees could have been with the company a long time. I think they should reduce the availability of work to the newcomers and provide to those who have been building this company all along.
Not trying to be mean, really. It just does not seem fair.
They lost a huge account in Alabama
to work it. It was probably one of their biggest accounts and they didn't keep it long. Beware.
To those complaining about no work because of the lost account...
I wasn't aware that an account was lost because I wasn't on that account. However, instead of complaining about not enough work because an account was lost, you should be thanking DSG for not just up canning your butts! They could have just gotten rid of the ones on that account, but sounds like to me they tried to move you to other accounts in order to keep you on at the company. I guess if you look at it that way, they don't sound so bad, huh? Everyone is always so quick to look for the bad and bash a company and don't think about the other side of things. I'm sure it wasn't their wish to lose that account, but it sounds like to me they are trying to look out for their MTs.
Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm

Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why. It is like they did it on purpose. Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so). I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.
I lost an account for taking a few days off
and I told them about it way in advance. Came back to find out I was not needed on the account any longer and they took their time finding me another account to work on. So, like previous poster said, what does it matter the reason....they will either keep you or they won't. Be prepared either way.
TransTech has no work; that is why; lost accounts; overhired significantly BAD nm
Does TT care? No, they get their big paychecks no matter if the MT's do or not.
Not one account lost in over 3 years. You're wrong. sm
They just chose not to bid on one that went to voice recognition but have had 100% renewal on contracts.
Which is the reason my company lost a major account.
The quality of the work was so poor they didn't renew the contract.
My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it. I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx.
I know the account as I am on it. There are only 2 accounts that are sm
Meditech, C-phone and op notes only and one of them only needs 2 MTs (it is my back-up account). How long did you try? I was ready to throw in the towel the first 2 weeks and then it all clicked into place. Nothing is ever simple in the beginning. This account is fairly new but a lot of MTs have tried it for a day or two and then gave up, which is a shame because it is a very low % of ESL and pretty easy once you get used to the system.
That's not how I got 2 accounts. They had ExText and we bid on the account. sm
They had had it for 3 or 4 years prior to that. Dictaphone had nothing to do with it.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting
x
Yes, there are nonteaching rad accounts. I am fortunate that the account that I am on sm
has all American-born radiologists but I know that is not the norm.
There is an opening on an account that I do backup for. You might want to get your resume in right away because they want to fill that one pretty quick. The account is picky as can be but the work is easy. It is by the line because they have wordy dictators but it is gross line, which is basically unheard of anymore!
I am still on the same account I started with, so your allegation that better accounts come with sen
nm
Diskriter MTs, is hospital account or DR accounts a
nm
Accounts going offshore or VR. They are losing large account SM
because the hospital(s) is going paperless.
I assume they want us all on VR, so they can pay us 2 cpl or whatever they are paying the offshore MTs.
You can ask to be put on a higher level account, however, there is no M-F on the higher level accounts. They want you to work evenings and one weekend day.
Depends on the account for which you are hired, my accounts are low occasionally but usually with a
couple of backup accounts and doing all work types, you can do fine.
That account has now added clinic and there are 2 other accounts moving to it. Not sure why they
want the experience, except maybe they need to get them started quickly, and that is easier if they know it in advance.
BTW: The account did get easier as they added work types.
Actually, it is not a MQ account. They have gotten dozens of MQ accounts over the past 5 years thou
The account that everyone is referring to is high ESL, very Hispanic, in Texas. It is not bad once you get used to the doctors. It is huge and difficult but not impossible and not bad.
They also have 4 other new accounts in acute care they are hiring for and 2 other excisting accounts that are growing.
With all I see on other companies not having enough work, I am grateful for Keystrokes. They keep growing and improving and were the best move I ever made!
QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM
NM
They probably fired your sorry self!
mm
Oh? Fired again? nm
x
I do believe that if you are fired
but if you leave willingly, you cannot collect. Good luck.
I have NEVER EVER EVER been fired from a job
But maybe you have. I was just stating something and you felt the need to jump down my throat and on my back and stomp all over it. Who are you? Diskriter management maybe?
How about the AC that was just fired
because she would not be a rat? Your AC, other ACs and those in management will be there as long as there is an OSi. They cannot get positions any place else. One AC left, tried for months to get work, could not, so went back. Also, after reading your many goofy posts here, you should count your blessings and make OSi your home. Who knows, one day you may be a director.
Probably been fired from all - LOL
nm
What AC got fired at OSI?
Yep. I got fired too. sm
The guy was a real jerk.
Yes. I was one of them fired. sm
The guy who did it was a pompous sounding ass while the HR lady cried while she was on with us.
I can see why you got fired - MT
Very unprofessional
