It just was not worth it for me. A lot of long reports but no money to be made. It just took too long to get through them.JMO

Thanks. Yes I heard from others many ESLs and many very difficult ESLs. nm

What is the IC rate for doing very difficult ESLs. nm

If you can work through the difficult ESLs, that is...

It's all the variables that can make it difficult - lousy software, mangling ESLs, inaudible dic

There are 3 oncology accounts, 2 are new. sm
The older one and one new one use Allscripts, which is web based and easy. The new one is a total outsource with a large group (30) of oncologists.
The other new one is done in Meditech, has 15 oncologists and is Mon-Fri only.
Keystrokes oncology accounts
Has anyone started on the 2 new oncology accounts for Keystrokes? If so, how are they? Do you like the platform? Are you able to get good lines?
TIA
Info on GIMT and TransTech oncology accounts
Anyone out there familiar with the oncology accounts for GIMT or TransTech are advertising for? Would like to know if there is enough work, platform they use, general pay range. How flexible are they on scheduling?
Thanks.
They are difficult accounts, and they have not
been able to hold anyone on these accounts for some reason. They've had these accounts for quite awhile, so I'm thinking that in order to keep the client happy, they must be offshoring the account again. They will do that from time to time. I'm glad I'm off of it. I was not making my lines on the Michigan account.
Webmedx has difficult accounts. High ESL.
More power to them if they've developed a program that can handle those high-ESL nightmares. They have the toughest accounts I've seen in 25 years of transcribing. Yeeeeuck! Would hate to be doing VR on those!
I have a friend who works there in management. I will have to check with her to see what she has to say.
Great people, difficult details on accounts to remember...nm

What about their accounts? Do they have ESLs?
...
80% or more ESLs on accounts, otherwise okay!nm
nm
I believe there are a lot of ESLs on the accounts that are not the best. nm
:
Loads of ESLs on all accounts.
Some good things, some bad, just depends on what you are looking for. Communication is the worst for any company I have ever worked for.
I was told they have 35% ESLs on most accounts but like everything else, you won't know until you
x
Yes, they have several ER accounts...the one I work on doesn't have any ESLs (sm)
but I'm sure some of them may have an ESL here or there. I started there in September after being with Medquist for 8 years. So far, so good. They have been very accommodating and the office staff couldn't be nicer. Good luck!
I hate to say it, but ESLs are here to stay and being able to transcribe accounts...sm
that are heavy ESL is a necessary skill. Especially in acute care.
HEAVY ESLs, will not switch accounts if you are having difficulty, and more...sm
Plus you have to pay $25.00 every payday to get your check UPS to you. Now, I never have known UPS to charge $25.00 to mail a letter overnight! They must be making profit off of it. The worst ESLs ever! I have worked for many years as a MT but NEVER had this horrible of ESLs. Not to mention the VERY RUDE QA staff! Supervisors and work flow are nice. I would think twice. But pay was always on time and always correct. You just have to balance out. They used to run out of work too. Don't know if that has changed or not.
Do htey have a lot of ESLs on the accounts there. I have found MI acounts seem to have this.
:
Yes, but their internet accounts at the moment are high volume ESLs nm

Just how are they to work for as far as accounts, ESLs, etc. The usual things such as how they treat
the MTs and so on.
Oncology
Intellitype was looking specifically for oncology about a week or so ago.
Oncology
Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about. I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies. I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Much appreciated.
Who is looking for oncology MTs? I have...sm
 20 years experience (teaching hosp), plus ortho and cardiology, and multispecialty clinic. No OB/GYN, tho. Anyone? TIA.
I will be doing oncology.....sm
but I know they were looking for Ortho MTs also.
ONCOLOGY
I was to be training on a new oncology account this week but I have decided to quit KS.
KS Oncology
I do know when KS did the mass hiring about a month ago for a new Oncology acct, I was hired. It was Allscripts platform and was a realllll dream, but the reports were so incredibly brief (4-6 lines)that there was no way I could make my line count unless I was glued to my chair and the voice file was not the greatest either. Needless to say, I stayed with my current company.
I did ask for a backup account and it was the same way as well, few lines per report.
I love Oncology and have been doing it for many years, but I am used to doing clinic consults, full office notes, etc.
4.5 and 5.5 for oncology i believe.
xx
I am an MT for Oncology and there
is no way I would type it for that amount of money. It is not an easy speciality. You get what you pay for.
If it's the same oncology account that I believe was in
Chicago or thereabouts, run very quickly. They had a very hard time staffing that account and went so far as to take all the other accounts away from some MTs just so they would have to work on the oncology account. That's why I left. I was with them for a year and found them to be very MT unfriendly, although they say they have changed. But beware, Jan Clay (the recruiter) worked for many years at EDiX which is now Spheris, so that should tell you something.
Looking for oncology work.....sm
Looking for a part-time IC position that consists mainly of hematology/oncology work. No national companies please. If you have any leads, please leave your email and I will send a resume. Thanks!
Anybody know who has an oncology account ? sm
Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net. I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less. I have 10 years experience. Any suggestions? It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.
Oncology Transcription
Seeking oncology transcription position. 15 years experience in medical and radiation oncology.
For oncology or for any account?
nm
Intellitype for Oncology
You would have to be an IC but they are extremely flexible and I know are looking for help on this account. It is for Oncology. The company is great to work for and great people to deal with.
Oncology Account
It uses Word-based AllScripts platform -- very easy to use. My favorite platform! You need Windows XP -- not Vista and a wav pedal. They start people between 8 and 9 cpl based on experience.
Any oncology keystrokers? nm
nm
It is an oncology clinic. Cannot say the name. The other two are
hospitals.
Medical oncology
Landmark has an excellent medical oncology account. I know someone who works on it. You need at least five years of experience in oncology, I think, to interview.
Landmark/Oncology
Would you please clarify if this is the Landmark in Philadelphia or California. I did a search for Landmark on the board and there are many comments but I'm confused as to which Landmark you are referring to and if it's a currently stable and thriving company. Many comments on the board talk about a Landmark that lost many accounts recently.
Would appreciate anything else you can tell me about the Landmark with the oncology account.
I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years. Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that. For me, the pay is the same as any other MT. I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Proscript oncology
I think these may be new accounts. In six years, I have never had VR with Proscript
Transtech ad/oncology
Is the workload at TT better now since I see they have an ad up for oncology...would like to hear if there is enough work on this account(s) to apply. Thanks
Looking for a company hiring for oncology. Anyone? nm

Try Transtech, they are hiring for oncology. NM
no message.
TransTech Oncology account
Plenty of work. Don't know about the other questions.
TransTech Oncology Account
Anyone out there work on the TT oncology account? I have been working on this new account and would like to hear from other transcriptionists regarding what they think of this account, software, able to get line counts, etc.
TIA
Any TransTech oncology transcriptionists
I started working at TT almost 2 months ago and was told they were inundated with work, but after working for about 2-3 weeks, the work has steadily dwindled. I am scheduled to work the weekend but there is never enough work to get my hours on Sunday. Has anyone else experienced this? Also it seems to me that I don't get the line count there like I have with my other jobs. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Would like to hear what you think of the account and the company. Thanks for any info.
Looking for oncology work - please email me. NM
TIA
