Especially with the east coast/west coast difference

Losing 1 large hospital today. Not rumor, fact.
It is on the Eastern Seaboard and low ESL.
Thanks - I'm on the East Coast too
I'll have to look around here some more. Thanks.
That sounds about right for East Coast!
So, now you see that the MTSOs don't really make that much off of us!!!! Maybe we should thank our lucky stars!! 
Not just CA - east coast here and 100K is not all that much
for a couple to make. Many married couples I know make around that it and are just scraping by.
East coast MT/MEs? Saw Futurenet's ad (sm)
and was just curious as to why they have to live on the east coast. Client preference? Time zones?
They advertised for east coast ME.
That's what I applied for. I have a FT job too, just want part-time ME at night to give my fingers a rest.
I think I figured it out. Is this person on the east coast? nm

I know they just got a large hospital account near me.

Is this a large hospital with MANY Hispanic
dictators, probably over 75%? I heard they only had 1 account on DQS, a new one they picked up in August. I am working on that account and would love to switch.
And what large hospital did they lose? (nm)
.
Had someone tell me they do a teaching hospital with them, if you like large accts. Might want to

Lost job to outsourcing through a large hospital
Just found out my job is over at the end of August. Have worked for MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, ND, for 2 years and they decided to outsource everything. Any great ideas for me?
On accounts they are losing, one isn't a large hospital in LA? (sm
I figured if they ever lost this one we would be notified in advance. (or at least hoped) This one they got when they bought YOG out, large, large facility. E-mail if you wish.
I worked on a large teaching hospital account and was
frequently out of work. KS didn't have the entire account. I don't know if they had in-house MTs or they used more than one company. You should have a backup account too, though there may be some lag time between getting you a backup as they figure out where they can plug you in. They supposedly are getting several new accounts so surely they should be plenty of work.
Usually the hospital dump a large amount on Friday afternoon. nm

I was paid by the hour to work from home for a large hospital. nm

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
No, not Chicago, bit further east. nm

Most doctors now are from the Middle East or India
so you know they are not going to take these holidays. The Jewish are more involved in financing and banking now.
Venkay applied using East's resume so for Venkat

Where in Michigan? North, south, east, or west? Other clues? nm
nm
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital
x
Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

On the West Coast
I heard the term typing monkeys, too. Wouldn't surprise me if it were used all throughout the company, they had so little respect for us. I just thought it was an LA thing, but evidently not.
W. Coast is a lot of Asian. nm

Gulf Coast Transcription
I worked for them several years ago. Very small, friendly company and pay was always on time, but have not seen anything recently about them looking for transcriptionists. At the time I worked for them, the account that I was on was just going internet, but we still used a C-phone. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have worked for GCT for 3 years! We use SoftMed and Chartscript via the internet. There is always plenty of work (two major hospitals and plenty of private groups/practices), and, if, for some reason, you run out, they are more than happy to assign more work to you. Pay is bi-monthly (direct deposit) and on time! Pay scale is comparable! Owners are very friendly and down to earth, very willing to work with you! Office staff is very friendly. Editors/Trainers are very friendly. This is a great company to work for.

Saw some gab a few days ago on GCS (poster was happy GCTer or something like that) and would like some info if anyone can help.
When you say they have plenty of work, do you mind my asking how many lines you do per day/week? Also, what are they paying cpl? If you don't want to tell me exactly what they are paying you, would you just give me a range?
Also, do they work with you well when you want to take time off or need a sick day?
Thanks for the help!
I know Gulf Coast Transcription will consider it

Yeah Gulf Coast
I have been working for Gulf Coast since February. I absolutely love this company! Yes, all positions are IC, so of course no benefits. However, I find the company to be so friendly and so helpful. They bend backwards for you; whatever, you need the make sure you have it. I am transcribing ER notes currently. I would refer anyone to this company. They are absolutely great!

Does anyone work for Gulf Coast Transcription out of Ft. Myers, Florida? If so, what is their pay scale?
Is this ESL account on the west coast? nm

Hey girl, greetings from the northwest coast of Fla. sm
did you take that ASR test yet? I know Spheris has a few new accounts coming on board too but I don't think you'd want to go back to that. Cornerstone was not my cup of tea but loved TWS. If something isn't broke, don't fix it.
Gulf Coast Transcription
Found some good things in the archives, but no information recently... pros, cons, would like to apply to this company soon. Thanks!
Gulf Coast Transcription
I just found out today that they offshore. I didn't realize this.
Gulf Coast Transcription
Does anyone currently work for this company who could give some information? Are they hiring now? Thanks a lot.

I currently work for Gulf Coast
and absolutely love it! I have been with them for a year and a half. I believe they are trying to hire for nights and weekends, as we are needing the coverage for these shifts to meet our TAT.

Does this company have heavy ESL? Do you have plenty of work, what kinds of platforms do they have and is pay per line decent? Any info would help. I checked their website and there is not a whole lot of information.

Does anyone know if they offshore??? Just hired and wondering...
gulf coast transcription website says
that's almost scary in a too good to be true way. Does anybody work for them? do they offer benefits? TIA 
Gulf Coast Transcription info?
Oop!! Gab on GCT of course - not GCS!!!
Looking for information on Gulf Coast Transcription sm
I know all positions are IC. Just looking for some information from someone working for them or who has worked for them.. Thanks.
Gulf Coast Transcription--any advice?
I submitted an application with Gulf Coast Transcription and was invited to test, which I did. However, that was over 2 weeks ago and I have not had any response. I sent a follow-up email approximately a week ago and still have not heard back. I am very interested in this company, as I have experience with ChartScript and prefer to work IC. However, I am wondering why I have not heard back from them. Even a reply letting me know they are not hiring right now or are not interested would be preferable to no reply at all. There was a telephone number included in the email they sent inviting me to test. I am thinking about calling but do not want to seem too pushy. If anybody has gone through their hiring process and has any insight, I sure would appreciate it. Also, if anyone has any particulars about the line rate, any incentives or shift differentials, etc., I would appreciate that, as well. Please feel free to email me. Thanks!

Any info on Gulf Coast Transcription in Florida?
Given job offer. Must admit it is tempting to tell MQ where to put it, but I don't want to go from bad to worse. Any feedback??
It is a West Coast account. Rather not mention names. nm
She and her husband run the account.
