TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, Spheris

Can anyone give me current information on working as a QA for TransHealth, Transsolutions, DSG, Webmedx, and Spheris?  Do they pay hourly? How do they test? Employee or IC positions? Workflow? Do they require 100% listen on all reports or are some fill in the blanks?

Are there any companies you would recommend for a QA position and can you please provide above-requested info?  

Thank you all for your help and kindness in providing any information possible.

I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at.  So give me the low-down.  Good, bad, India?

Here are my criteria:

9 cpl or better

Does NOT send work to India

Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators

Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work

Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.

Pay for lines WITH spaces.

Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming?  If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked.  It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files.  So that made it a lot more difficult.  One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks.  I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing.  Are all the tests like that?  Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software?  Ugh!  I am just so frustrated and discouraged.

Thanks for any helpf.

I have seen a few ads for WebMedX that say:

For candidates who desire company-provided equipment, please fill out our online application at www.webmedx.com  AND For candidates who wish to use their own equipment, please apply online at www.transhealth.com.

I'm confused....does that mean they are the same company?  So you can work as an IC for WMX, but you can only work as SE for Transhealth....Right?

TIA

bennies, pay, # of ESLs, flexibility, etc.

Would love to know your personal experience as I'm seriously considering both.

TIA

We received an e-mail today stating this. 

I'm yet another unhappy CQI/QA member at Webmedx and have to say a big THANK YOU to anyone who has ever spoken up about their negative experiences at Webmedx (though I understand anybody who's too afraid to speak publicly, which seems to be the majority of the QA department!). I realize that it takes much more courage to speak up than kiss up or stay quiet, so I always appreciate anybody who comes to these boards and posts.   And anybody who's been in this industry any amount of time knows that the adage all mention of the company is good advertising doesn't apply to this field.  Things have definitely taken a turn for the worst with the QA portion of the company, IMO.

I have questions about Transhealth, which has been recommended as an alternative to doing QA at Webmedx.   I'd like to know what the upper management of TransHealth is like.  Is the person who manages the QA department someone with a background in MT, or is it someone who is a data puncher but doesn't even do that well?   Do they express support for QA, or do they seek to squelch communication online and in the department through intimidation because they're afraid of criticism and fallout of their decisions?  Do they have several people at the top who handle different departments, or do they have one person in several roles, perhaps all of which they're unqualified for?   What kind of quota is there, and how are you paid?   Does ALL your work count toward the quota, or do you find yourself doing a lot of work that doesn't qualify? 

I realize this is much to answer.    Please feel free to add anything else you'd like that would help me make a choice.  Thank you!

Has anyone ever worked for both Spheris and Webmedx and if so, is it truly easier to get a better line count at Webmedx?  The benefits sound better, but the line rate is a little lower.  Any help appreciated.  THANKS!

Please, anyone who works for or has worked for one (or more) of the these companies transcribing Radiology provide some input.  How are the accounts, the pay, schedule flexibility, benefits, etc?  You can email me, if you prefer.

Thanks  :->

Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.

Is there anybody out there who worked for TransHealth, quit, and then went back?  How did it go?

A whopping 8cpl like everyone else?

Full-time:  work a 40-hour week or average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time:  work <40 hours a week with a minimum of 6,000 lines per pay period.  Pay periods are 1st through the 15th and 16th to the end of the month.  Hope this helps.

I was told they expect 150-175 lines per hour.  Their Policy, Procedures, and Benefits Handbood says 40-hour week OR average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time is a minimum line requirement of 6,000 lines per pay period.  I just started with them and, yes, I have a set schedule, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
