The issue a union has been mentioned dozens and dozens of times.
Someone else is always expecting someone else to get things going. Personally I don't want a union and wouldn't join one. Unions overall aren't very beneficial. By the time you pay dues and then are out of work because of a strike and only receiving a minimal paycheck you'll wonder why you thought you needed a union.
There are dozens and dozens of posts in the archives. SS
is constantly hiring and it isn't because they are getting tons of new accounts, it is because there is frequent turnover. That would be enough to keep me away, even without reading the archives.
TransHealth has dozens of accounts. How can...sm
... you say that All of the accounts are pretty much the same, littered with these horrible ESL doctors.
That's painting a picture with *very* broad brush strokes. There is no way you can comment on all the accounts at any company.
Horrible ESL doctors have not been my experience at all.
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!
One poster out of dozens
with experience with this VR likes it. Not a good ratio, LOL.
Why one? There are dozens of branches of Sten-Tel. nm

Look down the page. Dozens of posts a week on KS. nm
Webmedx does on certain accounts; ask. nm
.
Does Webmedx switch you on accounts a lot? Thanks. nm
Does Webmedx switch accounts?
Not only do they switch you on accounts, the accounts they start you on are so absolutely, horribly bad -- ESL docs in masses and very, very hard to transcribe - that taking the gas pipe seems a much gentler form of agony! $$$ are not to found with Webheadaches!
Webmedx - anyone know when new accounts are starting up? (sm)
I know we have been hiring in anticipation and probably some of the new employees are working on current accounts until everything is on line. At least this has what I have ran into at other companies. They have to be trained and ready and I anticipated our backlogs might be a little low as we share. Today I have been out of work most of the morning which is EXTREMELY RARE, however it is a perfect day to play outside so I will go out and pot up some things and wait till the work load builds up a little more.
Sorry if this kind of rambled on. Welcome to new employees, I am certainly not complaining or accusing them of taking work away from the rest of us. Just wondering when the new accounts are coming on and if we will be given opportunity to switch or try out the new ones.
Have a good day. Putting on my old jeans and heading outside for an hour or so.
Webmedx secondary accounts
If you take on a secondary account, do you bounce back and forth between your primary and secondary based on turn-around times, or do you get work from your secondary only if there's no work on your primary? I'm pretty sure it's the former, but just want to be sure. TIA.
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.
WEBMEDX is getting all sorts of new accounts coming up. sm
Might want to apply to the 2007 and 2008 MT Employer of the Year!
Webmedx ? secondary, tertiary accounts. sm
Have a main and secondary and almost always have work, but.. sometimes after OT has been offered (like this morning) I have nada. Think I need to be assigned a third account or be put on as a helper somewhere. I suppose I ask my team manager, are we allowed to request an account that looks busy, must it be an account in her Book of Business like with MQ. Any info before I make the call would be appreciated.
webmedx tertiary secondary accounts
I have 5 accounts with Webmedx. I am always running out of work on the weekends because like you said they call for OT and then there is nothing left for us who do work the weekends to type while everyone else is getting more money for OT. Not very fair. Like the other MT said beware of what you wish for. different accounts with different account specifics is sometimes more trouble than it is worth. Haven't had a full paycheck for quite awhile.
Does Webmedx inform you when new accounts are coming on? (sm)
I know they recently were hiring and now the backload summary numbers are down on a lot of accounts (mine included). I am hoping they just hired in anticipation of new account and are training these people on the current accounts and things will improve after the new accounts come on. Am I dreaming?
I understand no company wants to pay OT and it is a balancing act to get the correct number of MTs on any given account. I just don't think they were hiring to overhire. They seem far too nice for that.
Sorry for blithering, main question was do they share info about upcoming new accounts?
There are WebmedX accounts still on regular transcription?!?
That's news to me. Have worked on most all in the past 2 years and ALL are on VR. And they don't tell their clients or the clients would not HOLD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE VR, talk about how something sounds funny, give editing information, ask how we are today...etc LOL
No one was bashing, they were telling the TRUTH.
Medware or Webmedx? Which is better in terms of accounts and benefits?
I am trying to decide which company to apply with. I also need flexiblility. I can work full-time hours but not the same shift every day and I know some companies want a set schedule every day. I work a lot of weekends.
There's plenty of work at Webmedx - my group of accounts is running OT. SM
Again, why don't you ask your manager for MORE WORK?
WEBMEDX???? It's a small national, right? Benefits, running out of work, what kind of accounts,
flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory?
Any opinions on the company would be appreciated. Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info. Thanks.
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.
So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.
I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm
nm
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
MQ accounts
You are assuming that MQ has not lost any accounts. Yes the accounts were transferred with the transcriptionists, buy one of my accounts left and went to another service and yes, once an account goes up on the new platform, it is free game for everyone.
I believe they have two ER accounts - one is .09 and one is .10 -
the owner is wonderful to work for, also.
PS: Hi Connie!
How many accounts do you have?
When you get 6 accounts, can work on any of them at any given time, sometimes all in 1 day, and still get less than 2% DC percentage, come back and tell me you're better than me. You're still wet behind the ears and probably don't even realize what a big can of worms you just opened.
Are the Rad accounts going VR?
x
VR accounts
Does anyone find that you can get more lines or make more money on VR accounts?
RE: VR accounts
Yes.
How did you get three accounts?
????????????????????????? No wonder you have plenty of work - you have three accounts. Duh!!
Their accounts are about 90% ESL sm
And I am talking heavy ESL. Also, even though most of their MTs are ICs, they make you give them a schedule and they bug you if you don't work it. Pay is okay. Work is very sporadic. I have two friends who left there because the work kept running out. QA can be very rude, as well.
You might be better off just getting your own accounts rather than
trying to look for a service that has them. If you feel you must go through a service, then more than likely a small or very small MTSO would be the most likely to have these types of accounts.
Your own accounts (SM)
I read over the other posts today and agree that many of them were brutal, unpleasant, condescending, and unkind. Do not let these types of responses deter you from your goals, plans and visions.
I had my own accounts before I even took
a medical transcription course. I got into MT by accident. I started a home-based secretarial business doing typing and bookkeeping for people. One day, I got a call from this guy wanting to know if I could do his transcription. Sure, why not?! I had repaired transcription machines in a former career field, so what could be so tough about transcribing? I did fine. I've had his account for 8 years now. I also picked up a physical therapy account with four dictators before I finished my MT education, but that account was el cheapo on pay so I dumped them as my skills grew more in demand.
In my opinion, it's easier to have your own accounts because you're doing the same people and the same reports day after day. You can use your Expander to the max. They'll notify you of any corrections or style issues they'd like you to implement. You make more money per line while saving them money versus in-house staff or a national. Make up some business cards and an intro letter on your computer and start sending them out. Forget about all the negative people who are telling you that you can't do it. They're not the boss of you. You are in control of your own destiny. YOU can do it!
You are a pet, get best accounts.

There is no QA on your own accounts. YOU are QA.
QA shouldn't have to catch your versus you're anyway. QA shouldn't have to correct basic skills.
Where was that hop to? Your own accounts?
?
Accounts
Wrong.
Accounts
Sure!
Ask for more accounts, 10-12 may do
z
MDI still does on some accounts....
