We live in America, where truth is optional.
It's really easy to tell outright lies or half-truths and get away with it, until someone says "prove it" and posters can't. If everyone would post as accurately and objectively as possible there'd be a lot less turmoil on this board. Maybe that's why people do sling mud without facts, though, this board wouldn't be half as interesting if people were objective, would it? 
However, we're in America, where too many people feel it's really, truly, all about themselves with little care about anyone around them or how their behavior affects others. All the rights and none of the responsibiltities. Our great-grandparents would be ashamed. 
DTS America - Good company??

Does anyone have any info about a company called America's Pride? (sm)
I can't find anything on the web and know only that they type VA records. Has anyone ever worked for them? How are they to work for? Do they hire IC/FT/PT/statutory? How are the line counts, platform, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA
I live in Montana and applied with a company in Missoula..sm
but turned out to be not what I expected. Very old school and low pay. What would you like to know?
TT is a great company, but you can't live on fresh air and sunshine. sm
I have no work on either account this morning. Especially with the holidays coming on, if your income is the sole support of the family, I would highly recommend that you get another job (or 2) to make sure you will have enough to keep you going, no matter where you choose to work. I am starting 2 new part-time jobs today. I don't really want to work myself to death, but then again, I do not want to be out on the street because I cannot pay my bills.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. 
They should be ashamed of themselves
Most of us who have complained or exhibited negativity toward this company have had experience in editing and producing quality work when MT'ing. Those of us who do have the experience in the work world, who do take pride in quality work, and who have enough sense to know what we are worth would never dream of taking a job paying 1.5 cpl in editing. It's a joke to be offered a cpl rate in editing to begin with, but this rate is more than a joke, it's an insult.
I did apply at one time to Shapin. They offered me 1.5 cpl in editing. It was an insult, and the woman who replied to my refusal was very unprofessional. She insisted that she made $4000/month. Well, if she was doing it at that rate, I imagine that she was churning out trash. The mathematical proof of a $4000/month paycheck at 1.5 cpl is just horrible.
So don't trash the ones who come onto boards and tell the truth about this company. You sound like you are either management with this company or else too new and inexperienced to know better. I would bet you're management though. They have embarrassed themselves multiple times in the past with antics like this.
These rates are shameful, and the attitudes of the Shapin employees/management are even worse. I pity them. The impression they are making on the professional world is definitely not impressive or enviable.
Fallyn
You should be ashamed.
I am the daughter you are referring to. KS losing or getting rid of an account had nothing to do with me or my mother - to say the least. What a very vague and below-the-belt post. Be careful to make sure your facts are accurate, lest the truth be revealed. I left KS less than a year ago - quietly. It very unprofessional to post lies on a public board about obvious employees who have left. Anyone working at KS knows who you are referring to and many know the truth about why we left. I would love to know who the poster is. I think I know :)
I am so ashamed...
That last rant was particularly insane. Please forgive me. I had no idea one of my multiple personalities had posted that. I really thought I was gaining control of things here, thanks to a new, experimental study medication I have been on. It does have a few side effects such as projectile diarrhea, whooping cough/country music syndrome and foul-smelling, cottonoid nasal discharge. However, if this medication works, it will all be worth it! And I shall never, ever, and I do promise this for ALL OF MY PERSONALITIES, EVER urinate on your activities of daily living again.
If this is who I think it is you should be ashamed.
If... just if.... it is, then you're not sharing the full story.
The full story is that the hospital had to supply a security fob to access their system. Each MT had to pass a security check from the hospital and then were issued this fob. There were a limited number of MTs given these.
One of the MTs received a fob and was set up for the account and then worked one day and then didn't work any more. Didn't return phone calls, didn't return e-mails, and then finally DID return a phone call when the company became concerned for the MTs safety and began checking hospitals and newspapers. She also did not return the security fob to the hospital, and the hospital began to threaten legal action against the company.
The MT then begged for her job back but was placed on a separate account and platform but was given a second chance, and did it again. Worked one day and then no word.
This same MT also refused to fill out the paperwork when the company changed payroll companies in order to receive either a check or direct deposit but demanded to be paid, and yet had not returned the first hospital's secuirty fob. In fact, refused to return it for months.
I only know this because I was in the awkward position of having been friends with this person and being the one who referred them (I use the term friend loosely, now; I learned a hard lesson) and was supposed to step in and take the account this person was on because the hospital was screaming bloody murder. Their work wasn't getting done, and yet no other MT could do it because the hospital's security system was compromised because of the refusal to return the security fob. As a matter of fact, that stunt nearly cost all the MTs to lose their jobs because the hospital was going to pull the account they were so angry about the breach in security. The only way to get the fob back was to not give the final paycheck until it had been returned, which is clearly stated in any MTs contract.
Now, maybe you're not that MT, and maybe you are. If you are, there is much, MUCH more to this story than the way it has been presented.
We should all be ashamed for griping sm
about not receiving anything from them. I talked to EDITED on Friday when I got my card and she said she felt bad that the cards weren't out on time and that she had been busy with working and both of her children had been very sick. I think it is very thoughful of them to send something. Most of the companies out there don't think of us at all and EDITED makes sure we get something for holidays and throughout the year. Plus she signs all the cards herself and writes the checks herself.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
PS The thing is, and you are still so right that I am ashamed, but (inside)
It is just now that I am beginning to read between the lines with what is said by this government agency and another. Why would you be checking through the years for how our country was being sold off until you found yourself at the end of the sword. It is scary to think the government sold us out to corporations knowing it was all about money. Why does the the US government think they need to give tax breaks to corporation to send jobs overseas? They are already making beaucoup bucks saving on transcription services and many, many more services with jobs from the US. You can only spend so much and then it is obscene. I have written congressmen a lot in the last couple of years with no response back, sent emails and even letters to journalists with no response back. It just must not be something that they feel is important enough to expose.
Not ashamed to be part of this industry, but
definitely embarrassed to think of medical industry people checking out this forum and finding what it has sunk to.
That so many people are in trouble these days is heart-rending. The problem is when it comes out as anger expressed in irrational, libelous, and abusive attacks on others, including employers.
And especially in these remarkable days of the Information Age, there is simply no excuse for the astonishing degree of ignorance and lack of respect for truth displayed by many of us, who all come here via the World Wide Web.
Nothing is easier than self deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
I don't know where you live but where I live foreclosures are rising and there are no jobs -- non
I worried about my employer for part of the winter as my accounts grew sparse. I had plan to switch to being an employee with benefits but dared not make the switch in this economy (this was last year this time, got it?)
I figured keeping my seniority was worth whatever security it afforded.
My accounts have rebounded some and I can pay my bills.
By economizing seriously, I have paid off my credit card and put some money aside, just in case. I'm breathing easier, thanks.
So, all in all, I'm not complaining. This last winter was brutal, but I had a job and I paid my bills. When employment rebounds and/or national health goes into effect, people will go to the doctor again and we will be busy.
My part of the world is like a ghost town -- everyone who could left to find work in the city -- many apparently leaving their homes to the banks. Several houses in my vicinity have been on the market more than 4 years.
Forgive me my loyalty ... it pays the bills.
What does yelling at the rest of us do for you?
It depends on where you live. If you live in their
service area it would be cheaper than outside their service area. I only have rates for out of service area and medical is 139.13 for family or 168.42 depending on what plan you choose. Dental is 20.85 for family, vision is 5.13. These are per pay period.
Individual coverage would be 44.79/54.21 medical, 7.99 dental, and 1.71 vision.
I opted out of insurance as we have through my husband's job. I believe the cheaper insurance is a 70/30 plan and the more expensive an 80/20, not sure about co-pays. Deductibles are $2000 for family, not sure about individual.
DTS America
Do they allow dial-up? Thanks.
DTS America
Another one I passed through a few years ago. Didn't suit me. They are/used to be big offshorers.
DTS America?
has anyone heard of this company? how are they in terms of pay, schedule, etc.?
DTS america
Did anyone receive a response in regards to the rsdiology opening? TIA.
DTS America
I worked for them years ago. I only stayed 30 days because they had no work. They insisted on training in-house with them for a week, and then when I got home I ran out of work every day. They only had one hospital account - the rest were doctors' offices. This was about 6-7 yrs ago. Ask lots of questions You know how productive you are and how much work you need. Trust your instincts. One hospital account is not enough for a good MT. I can't imagine anyone is insisting on in-house training in this day and age, but any good MT should be able to connect herself and learn the technical aspects of an account remotely in, like...an hour.
DTS America
I am looking for info on DTS America such as pay, plenty of work, benefits and how they treat you. I did see the one post about outsourcing to India, is this still their practice?
thanks,
Have you ever seen in America...
Have you seen how chickens, cows and pigs are treated as livestock in our country? Or how they are killed before being served up as Grade A American? Ever seen live chickens dunked into boiling water to scald their feathers off? It's not a pretty picture, no matter what animal or country!
DTS America
Anyone currently working there that I can chat with, if so please email me. Thanks
DTS of America
RUN, FOREST!!!
When I first started, they were great. When mgnt changed, it became the almighty $$. I and several of my MT friends lost our jobs b/c they outsourced the work to India, lied about it, said there was no work, when there was work. One account they still have, that I worked on was Vanderbilt University Hospital, which is a HUGE teaching hospital and is the trauma center. How can Vandy be out of work? It is a a joke that they're named DTS OF AMERICA when work is outsourced overseas. You can e-mail me privately if you wish.
Signed,
fast fingers
DTS America
I worked for DTS America for about a year. They changed the way they count lines, which caused the pay to drop about 20%. We were no longer able to keep track of our own lines, as they did not provide the software for that. I worked on trauma with quality of 98.5 or better. Eventually, I was making less than $6 per hour. They were constantly running out of work (read giving it to India). They required us to check the queue for work every 15 minutes, sometimes all day long! My state government lodged a complaint, and I was fired.
DTS America
Does anyone have any info on DTS America?

Does anyone have any information on DTS America? Thanks in advance...
DTS America SM
Offers medical effective first of the month following hire, which in my case was three days, as i started on the 28th of the month.
I am not sure if they are hiring currently, but so far I love the company, and the accounts are not too difficult to learn at all
DTS America
I currently work for DTS America and for the most part they are a good company to work for. The only gripe I have is we still receive our checks by snail mail (which for me means another 3-4 days wait for my check) and the work volume is currently lower than normal, but that happens with any company at times.
DTS America
Looking for current info regarding DTS America. I searched archives but most of the info is old. Pros and cons please. What platform do they use. Thank you.
DTS America
I have a friend who has worked there a year and is very happy- makes good money. She is always trying to get me to come to work for them, but I only have dial-up.
DTS America....sm
Health insurance carrier? Single premium amount? Deductible? Pay tier?
DTS of America
I do, email if you want, terrible company
DTS America
Thanks Susie, I was talking about the one outside of Nashville, TN. I guess that is the one in Brentwood. Wow, they laid off that many people. That is not good. Never a good sign. Thanks!!
DTS America
Is anyone out there familiar with DTS America? What can you tell me about it?
DTS America
Hi. I have read previous posts regarding DTS America and am thinking of applying with them for a part-time position. I am trying to sort out if they actually have a tie with or outsource to India or the Phillipines. I see in previous posts that they are 100% American owned, but I do not see anywhere that actually states where their work is done. Would appreciate any info on this company from MTs currently working there. Thanks in advance.
DTS AMERICA
Anyone have current info on this compay? Based out of Tennessee according to their website. Thanks !!
DTS America
I work there too. There is no work left anymore. They totally over hired. You have to be on your computer almost 24 hours a day to make any kind of living at all now. By the way, that different lady is gone now.
Anyone work for DTS America

Med Trans of America
Can anyone tell me anything about Med Trans of America? Have they always had payroll problems?
MedTrans of America
Is the former QMT, which has always had payroll problems. I used to work for them until they stop paying. Before that paychecks were always late (different excuse every time). I found out later that the owner closes up business and opens up under another name when things get too out of hand I guess. MedTrans of America is her third company at least.
MEDTRANS OF AMERICA
Is there anyone who has not gotten paid by J at MedTrans of America and if so, do you have another contact number besides the 1-800 which always goes to voice mail?
MEDTRANS OF AMERICA
Not only does she still owe me for a couple of files - the last check she sent bounced!! I've notified MT Jobs about her because she had an ad posted on there earlier
Looking for input on DTS America.
I cannot really find much. TIA!!
