The thing is, if we just "suck it up" and send the work offshore to lower sm

Posted By: SmallMTSO on 2008-06-02
In Reply to: not when the clients have the last say - uh uh

the rates, there will be no work for U.S. MT's. There are plenty of hospitals and doctors that do not want their work offshore to keep us all in shoes.

does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
Does OSI send work offshore?

If so I won't bother.  TIA


She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will.

Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm

TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
 
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
Doesn't it bother you that they send work offshore? nm

offshore - most companies send
only what their current staff cannot get done or if the hospital specifically demands it - how does this take away from the MT or is it the fault of the MTSO?? I think everyone is angry at the wrong party - - everyone (companies and MTs) do what the hospitals are demanding
No they do not send offshore, but they do give
new MTs a chance, which more companies should do!
Unfortunately, the "many MT jobs" have very low pay rates, and getting lower and lower. nm

I'm not the "suck" poster
My paycheck is taking a definite nosedive since the first of the year due to overhiring.  Tired of my supe asking everyone to work OT re TAT, then I can't get in MY 8 hours.  Tired of being chained to my 'puter for my entire 12 hour window every single night trying to make 40 hours.  Unhappy to find out some of my work is being farmed out to J&J employees and who knows how many others.
All companies "suck" at one time or another.
People that are running these companies are human and they have a tremendous responsibility. They have to satisfy their boss, the account and the MT. How long have you been with FN? How many times has this happened since you've been with them? We're all a little frustrated right now that work is low. We have no idea what the problem is but we have to trust that FN is still looking out for its MTs as it always has. Maybe the company has over-hired, but if it has, then we MTs have to accept part of the blame for that as well. Where were you when the accounts were so backlogged? A company does what it has to do to stay in business and they don't change overnight. A company that cares for its employees as FN does will continue to do so. We just need to ease up and give them a break until we all get through this slump.
Outsouce and offshore are not necessarily the same thing. The
hospital outsources to TT. 
Sorry, late here, outsourcing instead of offshore, same thing though. NM

Work's lower in some regions than others. Need sm
evening/nights and, as always, weekend warriors. 
But as work at home IC, deductions can often lower

Much more flexible than MQ. 12-hr window to do your work. Rate is lower, but they do have incentives
Haven's started yet, but E-mail me if you'd like and I'll tell you what I can. The Q was just unbearable to me.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
if they send work to someone who
offshores then quite simply they offshore
I work there, but cannot send an email.
How can I help you
All I know is that they send work overseas. nm

I just called them. They are in NY but send 100% of the work
out of the country. No thank you.
Who is LK -- know TT did send some work to another service, but

but please let me know what you are saying because we TT'ers are very interested in what you are saying to us all -- I just know there is something very wrong with my line count.  I have been doing this too long to not know how many lines I can get.  I cannot put my finger on the problem -- I just know it does fall in my lap. 


This is really disturbing to me.


They do not send work to Focus...sm
or get work from Focus. Please get your facts straight before making up stuff on these boards. If you think you can prove otherwise send me your information.
do they send escription work to
or just beyondtxt work to india? I have been on escription.. my last paycheck is barely 300 bucks (due tomorrow) as there was NEVER any work on the accounts i had
Yes they do send work to India
I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
MDI does NOT send work overseas.

even if they send work overseas...
Please help me find a company to work for that has WORK and pays on time. That is all I ask at this point.
You send the work in using their program, yes. I never ran out of work sm

but I was just working part-time, and this was about a year ago, so things could have changed.  Isabelle and everyone seem so caring, it is hard to believe that they would consistently have MTs without work, but that seems to be a curse of the industry lately.


Good luck to you!


I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&
nm
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!
nm
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.

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!!!
Which nationals do not send work out of the country?

Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.


TIA.


Does anybody work for SmartMed/TSI? When do they send out pay checks? TIA. nm

Keystrokes is and will not send work out of the country. sm
The owners feel strongly about that.
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.
.
They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.

Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
And they are proud to have these partners
I really wonder how much cheaper it is to send work overseas. When you
think about it, IC here gets about 4 cpl for VR and about 8 or 9 for straight typing.  Overseas they have to go through a middle man or whoever owns the services and you cant tell me they arent getting a decent cut of the cpl and paying 3 cpl or so to their people.  Just my thoughts.  I bet the cost is very close anymore to what we earn.  I see Delta is bringing its reservation call service back here from India because of all the complaints from US customers. I would expect it is the benefits here for employees that causes a problem costwise for MTs.
They send our American work to the Philippines,
Philippines you would not be allowed to work.  Americans cannot get jobs in the Philippines because they are saving them all for the Filipinos - don't know if we'd want them anyway but that is beside the point.  Doesn't seem fair, does it, that they can take our work away from us and we get nothing in return.
Does Transtech send work to India? nm

Not hiring because they send most their work to India
 
Anyone know anything about Cbay at all in Maryland. Do they only send their work to India.
:
None of the ones on the Job Seekers board send work outside the country. They
would not be allowed to advertise if they did.
I have no respect for companies that send work overseas
Don't you think we have enough people right here in the US without jobs? Instead of paying a decent wage for an MT, companies get greedy and undercut our workforce of extremely talented and hard working MTs of which a large percentage are single moms.
guess again, i'm inhouse and my sup would rather send out work to the agency
yep, to meet the TAT she will send it out, even if it means no work for the real hospital employees.
Anyone work for Excel Transcription out of IL - send me an e-mail nm
