Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks
nm
Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
love ortho work
Me too!  I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I work Ortho and love it!!!

I always have more than enough work, pay on time, lead is wonderful....very few ESLs....my work is assigned, not pooled, so that helps not having to fight others for work...


I love my ortho account but I have only two doctors and know sm
them like the back of my hand.

I have been at KS for about 8 months. The account was frustrating at first because the client has a lot of their own rules and they are very picky. Once I had them down, about a week and a half, I started to fly through the work. I love working with the ortho lead, Cheryl, too, so that makes it easier. She is one of those people that works so hard and is so nice that you want to make her happy.
I am also on the Scribe ortho account and love it...
the changes they made are wonderful...
I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great!  I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is?  TIA
Keystrokes Ortho pay

I was just wondering if anyone who works on ortho for KS would be willing to share what their average pay/production is.  I just got hired and am very excited but also worried because the line rate is a lot lower than what I'm used to.  I've been doing acute care with high ESL for the last 11 years, so I'm hoping that the ease of the clinic work will make up for the low line rate.  I'm, going to be working in ExText.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.


Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run.  I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group.  I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Keystrokes -ortho account

Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts?  Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position?  What is the testing like?  Thanks!


 


 


Keystrokes structures it like this for ortho
The Keystrokes manager who handles the ortho department structures it where you are assigned your own physicians. You have 24 hours to have the work done. You must pass a test though, but it is not a hard one.
Hi! Thinking of applying to Keystrokes.....
Would really appreciate any help/comments/pros/cons of this company. 

 

Do they outsource?

Have steady work?

Use voice recognition?

Pay competitively?

Health insurance?

Offer part time?

Allow you to choose your own hours?

 

Thanks in Advance for any replies!!!!     

 

I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
I agree 100%...I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years doing Ortho
and I love it...best company I have worked for...
Keystrokes does. I have worked on ortho only for them for 2 years. sm
I have my own docs and my supervisor is great. She leaves me alone to do my work and as long as I do it well and on time, she leaves me alone. I prefer this, so it is a great job for me. I average 14,000 lines a pay period and make 0.09 per line. I do use their insurance, which costs me $204 per month, but it's only me. So far, so good with the new insurance!

I'm not sure if they are hiring but it would be worth trying.
how is PT account with Keystrokes? Thinking of applying..sm
I have many years of ortho, PT, and PM&R experience. Just curious in regard to KS's PT accounts... the number of dictators you are assigned and length of reports..are primary accounts available?? Thanks for any information.
Anyone know what med ins carrier Keystrokes has? Thinking of applying FT. nm

Looking at applying with either DSG or Keystrokes. Any up-to-date info would
be appreciated such as work availability, etc.

Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Over 9 years ortho experience and not even a callback from Keystrokes..
I can assume that they were swamped with applications or maybe I was just not want they were looking for. Oh well....other ortho accounts out there. I have enough acute care that I should find something.
Keystrokes Ortho MTs--What is your production like in terms of lph etc.. on their system?
Just wondering how easy it was to make a good decent living on their Ortho accounts. Thinking of applying.
I work on an ortho account. Keystrokes is just wonderful! They will help you in every way possible
and seem to really care about each person.  They have been very good to me and I am very thankful to have a job with such a great company!
Try Keystrokes for ortho. Lots of work. The lead is the best I have ever had. sm
I have two doctors that I am responsible for and love having them assigned because I know what they are going to say before they say it. She is a stickler for reliability and quality, but if you are a good MT, you will love it!
I'm thinking about applying at Keystrokes for a radiology position.
Could anyone tell me if they pay per report, how much they start you with and if there are increases along the way. Have seen past post with different amounts and have seen a post in the archives stating 1.25 per report and 1.25 more for reports over 2 minutes long.
Is Keystrokes a big company or small? I am thinking of applying. Time to leave the Q. nm
The sad thing is that I do not even think they would notice if I left. I am a high producer but not very vocal and they seem to have forgotten about me :(
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
welcome..you will love it at Keystrokes...

I LOVE Keystrokes!
I just had my second day with KS and LOVE them! In just 6 hours, I was able to do 1600 lines! I have an AWESOME ER account and all of the dictators are so easy! I hope to be there for many years to come!
LOVE Keystrokes!
While I don't type ortho for Keystrokes, I do ER, and I LOVE it. I don't have any ESLs, I always have TONS of work, make excellent money and, most importantly, I am treated like an actual human rather than just some number or just another employee. My lead MT is the best and is always extremely helpful. I also received a welcome card in the mail from the office when I first started. They actually go out of their way to show their MTs that they do care. They are by far the best out there.
Love Keystrokes too
I've been with KS for a little over a month now and love it. I plan on being there for many years to come. I was also offered a job with TT before I went to KS, but was told that the account was over 75% ESL. I have no ESLs on my account with KS :)
Love Keystrokes
I have been there for a month now and love it. My manager is super friendly and helpful, and I always have tons of work. I am on an ER account and I did not have to purchase any equipment. They provided with a Transnet foot pedal, which was all that I needed. My account is awesome and my pay checks have almost doubled since I left my old company (SPI/CyMed) and started working for Keystrokes. I'm sure that they are not a perfect fit for every MT, but I am extremely happy there and hope to be there for many years.
Love Keystrokes
I have never worked for Zylomed, but I do work for Keystrokes and I love it. I have an excellent account and an awesome lead MT. They always pay on time (direct deposit), and I have also found them to be very flexible. The best part is that they do not outsource at all and keep all work in the US. I would recommend them to any MT.
Definitely not Keystrokes! Love it there!

Love Keystrokes
Been there nearly a year now, and I have had nothing but a great experience there. I would recommend them to anyone.
Welcome to Keystrokes...you both will love it!!!
I have been here over a year and I love it...couldn't ask for a better company to work for...
I was hired by the CEO and love my job at Keystrokes. sm
I agree with the lead person in that there is more here than you are telling. Did you not like the account? Did you not have the proper equipment, phone lines, etc? Did you send in your paperwork? Did IS set you up? If so, you were not forgotten by the CEO. After she hired me, I talked to Becky for paperwork, Val for my account and Paul for IS. I have never spoken to Lee again but I am glad that she hired me in the first place. Did you need her to hold your hand? Do you have problems with other companies too?
I have been with Keystrokes for a year now and I love it...
I love my account...my leads are helpful and I have as much work as I want...best move I ever made was coming to work for Keystrokes...Good luck!!!
I love Keystrokes..would recommend them to anyone...
Good luck with your decision...
I have been with Keystrokes for over a year and love it...

Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
and only employee positions...
I would love to work for Keystrokes but
I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP.  Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
I love working for Keystrokes...
I can't answer the second part of your question because I have been with them for 2 years...but I know they are a stable company and I finally found the perfect fit for me...good luck!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I work for Keystrokes and I love it...
