Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

I do know Webmedx bought TransHealth a couple of months ago. nm

What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

I heard Focus was bought out by Dictaphone (Nuance) less than a year ago. So I think it would be a s
move. Nuance's website looks sturdy, and I know dictaphone is doing well, so how can a company with that kind of backing give you any kind of worry? I'd take it. Good luck whatever you decide.
Focus Infomatics is slow too -- 3 months after the fact.

TT combo
Did you say invoice? Been with TT 3 years and had no idea they hired IC's. I'm still happy with them but just didn't realize. Best regards!
Is this a combo of 3 hospitals? nm

I think it is a combo of all work being overflow and..sm
the fact that they overhire. Work has been low and slow for the past year. I have heard that some of the accts that we all heard about in that last conference call did not come on board--rumor, but other than the account that started in July to replace a lost one (and never has any work) and a clinic name I saw on the Community Pages (which a level 4 I'm sure will not be allowed to work), they have nothing new. Over the past year, they lost 2 of my accts. I have finally managed to replace them thanks to my persistence, but they are both overflow (like all of them) and low in work (like 99% of them). It just seems hard to get a PT job and still make 40 with them, but I guess we could try. Good luck.
Definitely search archives. Its posted frequently. I know its AOL, and some combo of her name! Try
a search of archives on Keystrokes! Good luck!
Hasty and Recruiter does not a good combo make!
Many are bad enough when they aren't hasty, with the evasive answers, with us getting a reality check from what we were promised and what really is once we've committed ourselves to the company. I wouldn't take the job myself. I don't trust a hasty recruiter. Something sounds fishy. A more reasonable answer would be that he/she would get back to you with answers, not just skirting the topic. Not good. If the recruiter doesn't know the details of what they are recruiting for, that's not the sign of them representing a good company.
Yep tRoux-en-Y made 6.7 line combo before I quit
Transcend paid 5.7 VR and I think 8.5 or 9 I think it was.  Had no idea I was being offered position for  VR.  It is a combo VR & MTing coming in on same platform Beyond Text and very very little regular MTing.  So it averaged out I made 6.7 a line.  I tried it 2 weeks, ran the numbers and quit and told them why -- 6.7 a line. Terrible way to work, never ever again. 
OSI's new partners

From their website...


In the business services sector, Culbro is targeting companies engaged in outsourcing and off-shoring. Culbro has a significant private equity effort in India and is particularly interested in companies that have a US/India connection (see Helix-Investments.com for more information).


Focus, focus, focus on your work. It's amazing what you can do! nm

A combo hourly/incentive or straight hourly rate based on
A platform where MTs have had major input in developing it.

10 annual days of PTO, at average hourly rate.

Affordable, decent health insurance.

QA done by very experienced high-level MTs, with open and respectful communication between QA and the MTs.

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 


That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 


The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!


Anyone work for Health Information Partners LLC or
have any information about this company??  Need feedback.  Much thanks.
Is PT offered at Health Information Partners? Thanks. nm

Health Information Partners (HIP) questions...
Anyone work for HIP or know about them?  They had an ad up a couple of places and was wondering about the scoop on them.  I found some old posts here from 2004-2005, looks like they are a small, newer company so maybe that's why I can't find much.  Any info and insight, good and bad??  Thanks!!
Were their new venture capitalists, er, partners, on the calls?
Should be very interesting.
Just Google Mercy Health Partners...sm
And take your pick. They are all over the country. We have a couple of their hospitals and med centers in our town. They are in Muskegon and along the west side of Michigan, they are in Ohio, Tennessee, etc. In my former life as a medical biller, I worked for their Collections Center in my town also.
Mercy Health Partners is a conglomerate of
hospitals and clinics that are all over the country and not an MTSO.
Health Infomation Partners contact info?
Could you give me the website and/or telephone number of Health Information Partners? I'm not finding anything on Google. Thanks!
This is Health Information Partners with a new name. City is the same in an ad of theirs. Newbies

How many AAMT execs silent partners/on boards/

Work for MQ and would rather share with you all than our ILP (international labor partners). sm
Actually I bet after seeing this on here a lot of MQers will be trying to get on at DSG. We both use Docuscribe and that is certainly a plus IMO.
Health Information Partners, but they sold and are no longer around :( nm

Looking for fellow employees of Health Information Partners..sm

Since they sold last year and I did not accept the job with OSi, I have had one crappy job after another.  Just curious to know where everybody ended up at, so email me if you like.


Thanks

Mercy Health Partners, anybody ever heard of them? Can't find anything in the archives. nm

If I'm right I need to switch from daytime to graveyard shift to work "with" my partners LO
I just need to reverse my whole schedule...NOT.. Instead, I've been offered a dayshift job with benefits and they do not offshore because they refuse to. That says enough to me about where I need to be and God bless all of the hospitals and facilities out there they refuse to let their transcription services off-shore their world. You are true Americans and care about us.
I totally agree. I also wonder if they increase the work flow to our "overseas partners" so th
gets done by them thus not many US MTs are getting the incentive. I just find it strange that we can have a lot of work before the holiday that no one seems to be working on but then on the holiday we run out of work. Something is up with that.
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up.  I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills!  I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work.  Is everybody sending work overseas?
What I just bought
Go to stedmans.com and get the AAMT Book of Style and also the Stedman's Spellchecker CD-ROM. They will bill you for these, and you will be happy that you bought them! You will also love working at home if you can pace yourself and refuse to be distracted, especially with the price of gasoline as it is.
Is all of this because when MQ bought YOG SM
they continued to pay the MT's what they were receiving at YOG, which was more than MT's at MQ made? Now everyone will be making the same amount or less?

I don't work for MQ, so I don't know, this is just what I gathered talking to friends.
They were bought out by MQ. NM

This is the co that was bought by the guy from ddi
that left when MQ bought them
Well, I bought one
and got the reimbursement. I work at home, but I still drive.
Bought it new. It is an HP.
 
I was with the co they bought and we had sm

a nice situation.  Here comes the CEO promising us we were going to know every day how much we're valued, how important we are.  Not so.  For the first 6 months it was okay, hard to get used to all the management we suddenly had, but then things started going downhill.  Then the push with the VR.  Seems to me that most of our work is going to be VR work and they're probably aware they pay more than the other companies - so it will not surprise me at all if they take that away now.


I hate these town hall calls, They never contain anything good for the people who are doing the grunt work.


HS bought out by Spheris
I was working for Healthscribe when Spheris bought them out; I have to say that I have had nothing but a positive experience with them thus far.  We don't seem to be micromanaged; quite the contrary.  I can get up and walk around to stretch my legs and at times am gone for 20 minutes or so and no one calls me or e-mails me.  Communication is wonderful from my supervisor on up to management.  The only downside is that they are so short-staffed that there is mandatory overtime for the radiology accounts so if you want to make $$$, this would be the place to go.  Hope this is helpful. 
I believe Transcend bought MDI?
