This is in response to Sitting-on-my-hands.  This seems to be the trend with medical transcription companies these days.  I currently work for 3 different companies and all have been short or out of work completely for the past month or longer.  These companies want a stock of experienced transcriptionists, however, they do not wish to pay anyone on any other scale other than pay-per-line.  That way, they still have the Transcriptionist on the line in the event of STAT accounts and have no outgoing expense.  Believe it or not, most companies are offended if you ask if they pay for downtime.  Medical transcription is a skill developed over years and not your typical work-pool environment.  Thank you for listening, but this is definitely a sore spot with me, especially lately. (P.S. - It is not my choice to work for 3 different companies, however, achieving a good income with one is difficult, especially when the work is cut off closer to the end of the pay periods.

Thank you for listening.

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.

Thank you,

I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer.  What part of Louisiana are you located.  Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital?  I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.

Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO.  I currently work for them.  Good company to work for.  Terry is very enthusiastic about MT.  I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you.  We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time. 

HTH.

when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did).  Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched.  If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want. 

Is this the info you are looking for? 

This is a company based in India.  This Chloe person.
