TT throws out a *line* on Friday emails, hoping that we will bite.  TT mgmt does not know what to do now !  I truly believe that !

I'm not sure that they will make it through this, if Dictaphone has taken away some of the Dictaphone accounts works and dividing it out among other Dictaphone customers.

I don't see a pretty picture at Transtech anymore.  Don't say that I am just a negative person; what is pretty about it?

When a new MTSO signs on with Dictaphone, they are going to give them work from somewhere, and I believe it is from TransTech. 

I am so disheartened by all this with TT. 

Promises for new work coming onboard is exactly what one poster said -- more Dictaphone overflow accounts!  Not enough work for ALL the MT's TransTech has hired within the past few months.  

Some posts were removed??? for some reason, don't know why, nothing offensive or inflammatory.

So 10 reports as they say 2 to 3 hours, that would be 8 to 18 minutes a report, no idea how long reports are,  on unfamiliar dictators, at 2 to 2.5 lines a minute.

These places get out their calculators and think ... HEY!!.

Another job post today, $10-15 an hour they say, $1.10 a page. Really now, 10 to 15 pages an hour.?  It is there on MTStars top of list.  Grab it???  

I LOVE cardio, but I have never heard of this company.  I sent them my resume, but was just curious if anyone had any experience with them, good or bad.  I see these posts about people working and not getting paid, and it is rather scary.  I enjoy what I do, but not so much that I want to do it for free.

Thanks for your help.

I've worked with MedQuist, Keystrokes, Lee Perfect, AAA Transcription, You See Solutions, using a multitude of platforms - Scribes, Word, WP, Emdat Inscribe, etc.  I've worked as an IC and employee.  I've used 65 character and gross lines.  I worked in the heyday as did many when you could easily get 12 cpl as an IC and employee, but the facts are the facts.  I know earn 9 to 10 cpl, character line since that seems to be the most prevailant.  I do not like it, but I do it. I've left companies because of crappy platforms (at least in my opinion - others loe them) or issues with being paid.  My time is valuable and I will hunt down and find the place that I can make the most.  It's time consuming but worth it in the end when you find your niche.  It can be frustrating and rewarding in the end.   I've earned anywhere from $25 to $50 an hour depending on account, platform, line counting, etc.  I'm currently making $30 an hour with a 65 character coiunt and 9.5 cpl. 

Just like with every career option there are some who are just better at the job than others.  That does not not mean that those who struggle are bad, but someone else can do better and that is not a bad thing either. 

Maybe some people are not truly cut out for  the job even if they truly want it.  Some have higher expectations than others and will never attain the high hourly average.  Some are happy just making $15 an hour.  Everyone has their own needs and expectations.

I do not see why anyone cannot make close to $25 an hour doing this job.  I've been doing it for 20 years - acute care, clinic work, high ESL, etc.  and I've always managed to make $25 an hour or more.  I do not even like the job anymore, but I'm good at it and I make a really good buck doing it.  When I finish my schooling for my next career choice, something I love to do, I'll leave the field knowing full well I will not make near the money I made at MT for quite sometime. 

If you are doing Acute Care with high ESL, maybe you need to switch to something else.  Regardless, the work is out there - you may have to look for it, but if I cannot average $25 an hour, then I do not want the work and I'll look  elsewhere until I find the right fit.  I've  had to do it before when a company changed platforms, but I eventually found something else and moved on.  My time is precious and I'm greedy.

If you want mandatory credentialling, then do something about the pay range for MTs!  8 cpl does not cut it when you consider the knowledge and education required for a qualified MT.

Coders in the midwest (where I live) who have their CCS make $20/hr with little to no experience!  Do not for one minute compare the CMT to the CCS!!  AHIMA is taking care of its coders, making sure coders and records techs are acknowledged for their expertise in the heath information industry and compensated for achieving their credentials.  The ADHI only wants our money.  They have done absolutely nothing for the MT who is credentialed --- 8 cpl or 9 cpl!?!?!!? --- does that sound like we are highly regarded health information professionals to you? 

10 cpl/11 cpl weekends.  I've heard pretty good things about them.

WebMedex pays 10 cpl/11 cpl over 6000 lines - Lots of ESL, you have to clock in.

Anyone heard of them?

job postings.  I know that sounds ridiculous, and YES, of course I can pass them by (and I do), but every time a job title catches my eye, it is almost always Focus Infomatics.  This automatically puts me in the mindeset of India and our jobs going overseas, which gets me grumpy.  I know some of you have had a good experience with Focus, and I am glad for that, but GRRRR.

Rant over :-)
