I hope DSG doesn't make the change

You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on. The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA. How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of. Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone. Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid. MTSOs know this. I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing. (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ? Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work. Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
Best Web Site...
Here's a totally silly, irrelevant, dopey question: If you had never worked for any of the nationals, knew nothing about them whatsoever, and you had to pick one company based solely on their web site - who would you pick? Remember - you know nothing about any company whatsoever....
Here's a web site for you.
Except for the site.
know nothing.

HTH.
On this site, at least. :) SM
However, I felt it was worth posting as a representative of those Spheris employees who are satisfied.
I think many Spheris employees choose not to frequent/post on online forums, since there are guidelines regarding such discussions and it's easier just to avoid the issue.
I took a look at their web site - sm
I have not complete any formal training with a medical transcription school, but have 15 years experience in acute care. Their web site says they prefer transcriptionists who have completed formal training with an accredited school. I really want to apply, but since I haven't gone to school, I am hesitant. Anyone know if they will hire based on experience, without having completed training?
new web site
what discussion forum on what new web site?
MDI-FL...is there a web site....
to go to for infomation? Thanks!
New Site?
I am thinking about making a website/blog specifically for Pro-American MTs, educating the general public what's truly at risk here. For starters, I am personally going to boycott all doctors who support/send their dictation other countries!!!
I want to make the general public aware and get their input on supporting such a boycott. Hopefully, they'll join in on the boycott too.
My money is going to the doctor who supports American jobs. I'll put my trust in those physicians, thank you. As far as the docs who send their dictation to MTSOs who send our jobs overseas, I hope they all move overseas and live happily ever after! You don't deserve to live in America!
Who's game? I may get a friend of mine to get this started? I can message/email personally to those who are interested will details.
I don't think they have a web site
But they had an ad on the big MT job board. They're in Florida.
Where is their web site??
nm
They don't have a web site (sm)
Can I put you in touch with them?
According to their web site
The Transolutions APEX™ system is a secure, Web-enabled information management system offered exclusively by Transolutions. APEX™ reduces bottom-line costs by creating efficiencies of data management and storage at a centralized location. It also allows you to audit, access, view, edit and print transcribed documents. (Future phases of APEX™ will include electronic signature.) APEX™ incorporates:
OK, you got me to their site. I still saw nothing about it.
Could you direct me to which tab it states it on? Do they get money for all of us being paranoid and going to their website?
Web site?
Does this company have a web site? I could not find anything - was wondering how long they've been around. I lived in Peabody for years and never heard of them, not that that means anything!
Here's their web site

do you have a web site for Transcend????
Anyone know web site for
MDI-MD? I tried www.meditrans.net because I had seen that somewhere, but you can't get in without a password? I just wanted to read about them, their requirements, etc. Thanks
It's also in the TOS on THIS site.

Their web site says
you get paid when we get paid by the client, pay 0.07 to 0.8 cpl, you must submit your own invoices, a 2-dollar charge for direct deposits...I quit reading after that.
I don't work there but thatis what their web site says.
http://www.nicholastranscription.com
why not just go to their web site?

and if you look on the site....
they are lobbying for required certification to do medical transcription, which would suck all of us into membership and partnership wtih them. Blech!!
From their site, they are an
Indian company. Do you really wan to work for an Indian company?
Go to the web site for
the AHDI, formerly AAMT, and they have definitions for three levels of MTs. Whether or not you agree with their organization and what they stand for, I think that theirs are the best definitions I've seen for job descriptions in this field.

I'm beginning to think it should be renamed MTWars. That's about all that ever goes on here anymore. I wouldn't even presume that I could get a decent answer to a question on here because it seems like every question starts some sort of ridiculous childish I'm right, you're wrong debate that goes on forever and ever . . . . It's a very ugly place to visit and as of today, it's off my list of favorites.
Thanks for the web site help. sm
I could never figure it out. I applied and accepted an offer from KS!

MQ BIG CHANGE?
I just love these posters..gonna be a big change..well, what? Dont post something like that and not explain. It only causes anxiety and speculation in an already scarey field, with outsourcing, etc. Big change, well, come on now..what is gonna be the big change and where did you get your information from?
Well, then maybe that should change.
Maybe they, too, should be paid based on what they produce, with a little bonus if the person stays a year.
Sometimes you just get in a rut and need a change. Sometimes you just
get burn-out in general and think it is the company/account. I've left a position before because I thought the grass was greener, but it wasn't. Had to learn new platform, new software program, new dictators with various new accents to figure out, new way to count lines, etc. Even if the pay was a bit better I still figured I lost money and the grass wasn't greener. No company is perfect, but there are some very good companies out there, but there can still be intermittent issues with any company. Sometimes talking with management might resolve issues, sometimes taking a break will refresh you and make you see things in a different light. List pros/cons of present account and compare that what a different company has to offer. You may realize you are better off where you are and if not you can feel comfortable that you're making a change that really will be better for you. If you do decide to leave current account just don't burn any bridges so you leave with the possibility of being able to return if new account/company doesn't work out.
No. Currently, you can use your own. That may change

I think so...I am not one for change tho....but there
To change
the subject somewhat. Gastric bypass and lap banding scare me to death! I personally know of five people who underwent the procedures, and all had complications, one being death. They all had excellent surgeons, one being my surgeon. Everyone responds differently I know, and that is the problem. It is too much of a gamble for me.

Are we all in the same boat? I work for the largest national in the country and am hoping to hear about another position with another company tomorrow or Wednesday. Many of us have been MTs for years and make less now than then we started. We get thrown into the national cesspool and may get 20 different states in 20 different reports. Impossible to make a good line count this way. I'm slow to change and always fearful, but I'm really at the end of my rope. Anyone want to add to this conversation, please feel free. Happy New Year everyone! May 2008 bring us more MONEY and more CONTENTMENT!!
have to change dsl
well just talked to Vonage and everything was fine until they tried to transfer my line. Said I have to discontinue DSL through ATT for ATT to allow it, then vonage can transfer it...
So I will change to time warner for cable and then get the adapter from vonage. Yes it is a lot cheaper, but have to work out all the transfers.
I know... but I need a change... SM
It was a great benefit for me being an IC because I would work and get big paychecks and being a single mom, I would get the child credits and the earned income tax credits, and I would actually get money back, quite a bit.
But now that that is not going to happen anymore, I want some PTO and all those nice benefits!!! Im just ready for a change...
Which companies actually hire employees and offer PTO, etc.?
:-)
Change in pay
Contact the Wage and Hour Department of the Federal Labor Commission. This is illegal.
Looking for change
Good luck! I hope you find what you are looking for. I might also add that Landmark is a good, honest company that does not offshore.
Do you know by any change the
system you will be using? Some are apparently much better than others.
I wonder if that will change with the new sm
employee handbook? I briefly read it this morning and it seems that it boils down to **you owe us this, this and that and we don't owe you anything**.
That will all change.
I've been in the business 20 years too. I worked for Transcend for 4 years and my honeymoon period with them lasted about 7 months. Once the honeymoon was over, it was one of the worst job experiences I have ever had.
What would you like me to change it to? (nm)
I don't like change that much. I started posting here when I was a newer TT'r, so why change?
that says a lot. You would change sm
your mind if you were the sole bread winner as a big majority of MTs are. You wouldn't care about weekends at that point. You do what you have to do to support your family.
You can say what you want, but you have some off as self-righteous and definitely a slap in the face to all of us hard-working full-time MTs
exactly to change this???

What you are not getting is the change.
If you've always been used to it, fine...you have worked it out with the mortgage company, car payment, insurance, etc. You've got auto payment set up for your internet or your phone bill. So all those things have to be realigned. That will take some time to readjust both the inflow of money and the getting the autopayments changed.
And, some of you folks really don't seem to have any feeling for those that literally go paycheck to paycheck. I work two jobs. The only time I can take any length of time away from my desk is on Saturday evening and Sundays. Which works out great if I'm getting paid on Fridays. Not so good when it's falling through the week....so you're waiting extra days waiting for payday anyway and then you've got to wait longer before you can get out and do anything with it.
I'm glad your life is so stable that that waiting three extra 3 days doesn't impact you in any way. But having been there myself, and still almost there, I can certainly expend a little sympathy and try to understand how it might be problematic for someone else.
here's their site and number sm

They're more than a little scary.
They say they cut checks once a month but checks aren't mailed until they've been paid by their clients.
