In Reply to: No. The paper they make you sign - Frustrated too
I thought they were pretty nice about it and my final check was deposited as usual. They are ethical people. But the demographics will kill you.

No, but she didn't say she was sending any
We talked this morning, and I told her I needed a couple of days to think about it. Yes, I'd like to chat via e-mail, but how do we do that? Do I do post reply versus post quick reply? Tell me how, and I'll send you a note about it and we can compare notes!
If they ask about sending back the footpedal
you could wait 3 weeks, then tell them make a promise it is in the mail, then wait 3 days and email them and tell them you couldn't find their address but thought it was in Timbuktu as you spoke to someone there recently, then .....
If you are going to get it back to them in 2 days, you should charge BIG buck. But from what I
:+
I didn't try again, but once you got a few screens in, it asked for a $25 fee to your charge card

Same here! They got e-mailed me back within an hour or two to sending my resume!
Can't wait to talk to them on Monday!
From someone who bothered sending a resume, I take it back. I'm shocked at the immaturity
level that is going on. There is no way I would even think of accepting a job that would have a recruiter who acts as you have on here. I'm pretty sure you burned all of your bridges. I feel for the companies who hired you to represent them. How proud they must be..NOT.. Wow..
I tried Vonage a while back, but I didn't think it worked very well at all and got rid of it.

She didn't. Evidently you need to go back and reread. nm

She didn't say she expected to be thanked back
She just said they didn't respond. I think Miss Manners would say that the proper response to thank you would be you're welcome.
Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either. Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company. Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road.
I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:
1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.
2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.
3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.
4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.
Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

I was feeling bad that they didn't get back to me with my 35+ years of experience, sm
but if that is the pittance they offer for pay, I'm glad they saved me the trouble of turning them down. Pretty soon, scrubbing toilets will pay more. 
Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm

Oops, sorry - I changed my name back three or four times but it didn't "take" nm
.
footnote, its not what they charge, it is how they charge --
I would love to see a more fair process for all, as in easily checked and verified. No option of software...calibration...on any side, be it client, mtso, mt.
but if VBC - I'm gonna want more money per line.
Keystrokes sending sending my W2, anyone else? NM

How to charge
HELP PLEASE- The company that I have been transcribing for (RADIOLOGY ONLY) for the past three years, just told me that they are going to switch over to voice or speech recognition and want me to come up with a fee for being the proofreader....I HAVE NO IDEA! Any help that you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!
how to charge
Dear Lori,
Do you have experience with voice or speech recognition? Is asking for samples from each person a legitimate request?
There is no charge to the MT
Take Charge
Call the supervisor of the transcription department and speak with her in person. Explain that you have been cleared to work full time and would appreciate a chance at your position once more. Let her know that the deiscrepancies in your performance evaluations were due to an illness that has now been resolved. If she does not return your call, wait a a few hours and call her back -- say something like, I was called away and wanted to be sure I hadn't missed your call. Lay your cards on the table. Don't start by lying or leaving things out -- it will only haunt you in the end.
Good Luck.
what to charge?
Looking for what are approximate reasonable rates (approx. range) for MT company to charge doctors' offices. Any info is appreciated. Just started a very small company. Seems difficult to find this kind of info. Thank you in advance.
Those In Charge Probably Will
Don't you think that those in charge of the US-only accounts will form some kind of offshoot and absorb the workers? This seems the most likely outcome to me. Cross fingers.
Charge
Usually Clients are charged per character. Depending on if MTs get paied for spaces, the client would get charged for spaces as well.
They only charge $125 now.
You charge for QA?
Yikes.
But they charge you
$300 for equipment don't they? At least, that's what I heard. What kind of equipment are they providing for that money and is it transferrable?
what do I charge?
Hi everyone - quick question. I am in the Houston area, and have a private doctor's office interested in my services. I really don't know what to charge per line. Do I charge the same as I am making with my company, or a little less? Do doctor's pay the same rate as hospitals? Any input would be appreciated! THANKS!
What do they charge for their service?
I would be curious to know the cost of such a wonderful service and the success rate of placement.
Well - you need to charge $50-60 an hour and you will. nm

That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
Charge for equipment
Well if they don't charge for equipment rental just how recently did they stop. I just started working for them last month and have to pay $20 month. As for the incentive, doubt I'll ever see it because all I seem to get are ESLs, financially a disaster.
So "power hog" is probably in charge of that too
..
word charge
Does anyone charge by the word and if so what do you charge? Thanks
Sarcasm aside, they may actually not charge for them.
I've not been privy to the mgmt/marketing end of this biz in a few years, but I can totally see someone promoting you don't pay for blank space to customers.
Why on earth do they charge??
How much was the membership and what do you get in return? Just curious. I don't pay to belong to message boards, although I would consider if I got something great in return!
They do not charge you with errors while
on 100% QA so the score always shows 100%, They do make corrections in your reports if needed, but they don't count against you. Once you are released from 100% QA (I was released my second day, some still on 100% for much longer) they only QA 3% so most reports where only blanks are filled in your QA score will show at 100%, but it doesn't mean your monthly QA score is 100%.
OMG. I can't believe a company would charge $20 so you can
nm
They charge you to work!
I talked to the lady from Augusta and she told me that they charge you $11 a month to use their platform, which I cannot remember the name of right now. They also charge you $2 a pay period for direct deposit. They only pay 8 cpl, but your 163 lines is going toward you paying for the use of the platform so you can receive the work plus being able to receive your direct deposit. Do they think we are CRAZY? !
Yes, the week is not over. They are sending
out MT week gifts, and they sent them out late due to packaging problems. Of course, it would be better to win the lottery - but the gifts are very nice! (A tote bag, a pedometer and a stress ball that is modeled as a computer). (I know this because I work in the office)
You are right, they are sending me a check
so obviously it has not been invested. How dare they use our money?
How would you be getting and sending the jobs? SM
I once worked for a hospital for all of six weeks. They had a main frame, which was extremely slow. The head of the department told me how fast it was. The problem was, she never used it.
Find out what the platform is like and if you can use Expanders and how they divvy up the work. Then I would take the job, because I work for national and it is indeed going downhill fast.
After sending one Email you should have
nm
I would see nothing wrong with sending
one to the company/office in general. It would be very nice I think.
Yes the same MTs sending work to QA
day in and day out. I get sick of it. And nothing is done about it from management.
re sending work to QA
I really don't believe we'd be penalized or cut for that, UNLESS it was for the same type mistakes over and over, or inexcusable ones that would be caught in proofing, etc. Hope I'm right.
Would mind sending me one as well?
I feel so out of it since I cannot talk to anyone about this.
I'm sending you an email. nm

sending you an email. NM
