Dear All!  I'm writing a business plan and conducting some initial market surveys, and since all of you have always been a wealth of information, I figured this was a good place to start.  I need to know what dictation/transcription platform any company you can think of is on.  Please respond, just a quick post with the company name, platform, and if it is a web based platform (if you know).  Thank you all in advance!!!

Looking for info from recent employees about platform, pay, benefits, incentives, time off, etc.  Searched archives and sounded pretty good.  Good/bad appreciated.  Thanks! 

I have been offered PT with them and would like to know the good and the bad.  TIA.

Can anyone give any current information about Transcend? 

I have a phone interview with Transcend tomorrow afternoon and was just wondering how they are to work for (work load, flexbility, pay, etc).

TIA! 

Any current info on Transcend.  I am considering applying since they had an ad in the last few weeks.  Their website says they use BeyondTXT.  Is it productive.

P.s. I know they offshore 7%, says so on one of the links on their website, this is not an issue for me as most of the nationals do and as long as I have work I don't care - don't yell at me in a post about offshoring, I don't like it either but have learned to live with it and complain via the appropriate avenues and not bash people who work for companies that do it, so don't get on me for looking there for that reason only please. (I want the facts about actually working there from people who know!)

What would you like to know.  I would give them about an 8 out 10 for being a good company to work for.  They need to police their ROMs more as they have a few really horrible ones.  They are generally fair and pay okay.  Their iinsurance kind of sucks.  They are going with voice recognition A LOT. 

I worked for them for over 3 years - have been away for 2 months.  So, my info is current.  Feel free to e-mail me anytime.  I have nothing bad to say about them except they are a big company and what I call the 'suits' and I have gone to a smaller company run by MTs so I like it much, much better and I hated voice recognition. 

If you like voice recognition and like a big company, they are the way to go in a heartbeat.  Not a good fit anymore with me though but I still have warm fuzzy feelings for the ol' suits, lol

I feel better today.  I just cannot re-take that test though.  After that experience, I refuse to test on any tests which have the entire test on one web page, including the download and transcribing of files onto the same page.  It is too risky that the page could disappear.  Live and learn I guess. 

This MT testing is so grueling I will be glad when it is over!  Thanks for letting me vent! 

to get my photo license, so this worked out fine. Ran and did that plus stopped for bread and cheese for ham sandwiches. Took no time at all as the center was empty, as was the grocery store. Guess everyone is at the mall exchanging their gifts.

We were warned the other day that it may be VERY slow after Christmas and I looked forward to it. How I wish I could go to the mall and get new outdoor lights. Ours were blown out, so it was a dark and dreary Christmas Eve night. It's the only time we turn our lights on.

Could anyone give me info on Meridian Healthcare Group, LLC out of Indiana or Transcription-Express (don't know where they are from)

Any info would be appreciated!

The first and foremost would be promotion of US-based transcription for US-based patients.  I feel there are major, major privacy issues at hand there, and I would personally have trouble with my personal info being shipped overseas.

Certification I think is very, very debatable.  AAMT has tried to make a standard practice, but really it isn't.  You have to be certified and continue with education to be a nurse because those practices are standard and regulated pretty  much across the board without too much difference.  MTs have to do what the client at the time asks, and there is a ton a variation between companies and clients.  I have worked for a lot of different places and have yet to find one that follows even half of the important rules of the BOS. 

I also think another organization should point out certain advantages to being an MT, at home or otherwise.  AAMT wants you of course to buy books and whatnot from their store, but there are many other resources online that are available to us simply because we are members of the medical field; most are free.  Working at home gets you discounts on things like car insurance (cut mine in half).  There are many advantages to ousourcing companies that hire at-home employees as well which are growing all the time.

I would absolutely participate as much as I can in getting something like this going.  AAMT as decided where they are which is perfectly okay.  They just now need replaced.

Invoiced and billed employer who has not sent me a check.  I did email and a check was to be sent to me by this past Friday, but is now not responding to email inquiries as to the status and whether or not the checks were mailed (they now owe me 2).

Which regulatory agencies or legal groups do I contact in this regard in order to be paid?
