You can rent a C-phone from them. sm
I'm not sure about a computer rental. If your account is not on wav files, you'll have to pay long distance. There are a lot of flat rate plans through many companies.
You can't access the patient's old files through Bayscribe.
Pay is anywhere from 9 to 11 cpl.
Great place to work!
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

phone line
I work at Spheris (and love it) and use a cable modem. However, if my cable was ever down, I COULD use my phone line for a dial up connection to not miss out on working. Otherwise, I never have had a need for a land line versus a cell phone. HTH
Used to need a second phone line to work there. Does anyone know about now? nm
s
No, you don't need C-phone or a second line, and yes, I believe we do have clinic work. nm

Does Spheris require a phone line? sm
I'm thinking about going there, but why bother applying and testing if I have to use a C-phone. I do internet work only. Any other Spheris info good or bad anyone could share is appreciated. Thanks.
Is this all Internet dictation and no phone line? NM

My account requires a second phone line (nm)
Interview by phone. Tests are on line. NM

internet or extra phone line work? - nm

Prior posts say you need a C-phone & 2nd line, and that they follow BOS II guidelines very

I think they do hire PT, but at a lower line rate (nm)

I got 100% on the phone interview, and thought the on-line test was easy, but they still didn't h

You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
s
Yes they do lease computers
nm
Oh, puh-lease - RAD is per REPORT.

You pay a fee to lease their equipment. I believe SM
it is $350, which is returned to you when you resign. The platform, which we are all moving to, is not very good and their SR program is poor and more and more work is being done in India, where all work will be done eventually.
I know about Busy MT, who is one very together lady and I respect her, but everyone else, if you work for both Spheris and MQ: Ouch!
Nice supervisors do not a company make.
C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh
nm
Do they supply/lease computers? NM
x
I don't lease mine - I have my own computer - but NYOB - (sm)
Yes, no equip supplied...nm
nm
that's why I would never EVER use my personal equip for any
that's what you get for using your own stuff.
Same as this poster says and I use their equip (nm).

It's $20 a month/equip.rental. I don't think
I smell sour grapes and it stinks. Amphion is the nicest place I've ever worked since I started working at home in 1989.
no PTO for Flex PT. Yes, they provide equip. nm

no computer or equip rental fees, but no more

looking for transcription co that needs at-home part-timers and provides equip/software
Does anyone know of a transcription company that needs part-time at-home transcriptionists and provides equipment and/or software?  Thanks!

is this for rent or a deposit sm
on tis equipment. If this is a deposit I assume you get your money back if you leave? If so what are they charging for month for rent?
Not sure what's so low rent about being a hair
Meow.
I would bet the rent MDI will not offshore
They have waaaay too much integrity.
cynical, I would bet the rent
it gets cut effective 1 January 2010.
Maybe you could rent out a room or two instead of working
3 full time jobs leaves no time for sleep! If I were in that position, I'd look into renting out a bedroom. In an urban setting, you could always store your car and rent out the garage (if you have one).
You can rent the Lanier very cheaply
from MDI. (And you deduct this rental cost from your taxes as a business expense.)
In actuality, you ARE "betting the rent".

Dependign where you are in the US, rent can be $1000 for a 2-bedroom apt or even a
more than that. The one thing that has always sort of amazed me is that because we work at home our salaries do not always equal our locations. For example, it is far easier to make a living at 9 cpl with an average of 1200 lines per day if you live in the country (as I do) rather than if I lived in a city. I do not own my home at present and pay $750 per month for a nice-sized 3 bedroom home, but my best friend lives out near a larger city and pays $1600 month for a house that is almost the same as mine. In the he real world, salaries are adjusted by locality, but because we work from home that little factor seems to have been eliminated. I know that I would never be able to survive on my pay if I lived in the northeastern part of the US.
Do you still have to rent their equipment from them or do they load program on
s
Rent where I live is apx. $1200-1250/mo, 1-bdrm. (sm)
Where I live the average is about $1200/mo. for a 1-bedroom apt.
If I could get the lines/day, I'd be doing better. But I frequently get up in the morning, sit down to work, and there is nothing 'til maybe noon. Other days, there's plenty.
We're paid by the keystroke, so it's something like 1/10th of a cent, or something like that. Comes out to something like $6.50/hour if you're spending much time researching drugs, terms, etc. (Difficult but interesting and challenging accounts.) There are incentives, bennies, etc., but it's hard to even meet the minimum if the work ain't there when you need it.
In all other respects, this is a great company, and I'd hate to leave 'cuz I just started this summer. And they actually offer more than many others do. It's just that OVERALL, the MT field is not only not keeping up with the cost-of-living, it's declining. And everything else has gone up. A box of cereal is close to $5. Gas is $3.65/gal. Thank goodness I live in CA where I can get by without heating my home. (Also expensive). Oh well. I guess I should've stayed in college longer than just 2 years........
Prior info said they take $300 out of your pay $50 at a time for something, rent or deposit. nm

Plus my company is out work and I haven't made my rent yet, so am grouchy!

C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
Get real..... who is buying new cars, satellite dishes, video games? How about rent, utilities on t
NM
Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
Does KS only hire employees or do they hire ICs too? nm

Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.
"a line is a line" means gross line.
Gross line is a line, no matter how long or short.
Yes to old reports! Their ExText has all the regular functions except line counts are done on line
