money, you have to be the MTSO.  If you apply with nationals and the people who have the accounts, you are not going to make the big money, they are, otherwise, why would they need you.  It is very unfortunate, but it is true.

    Not the only one. My co has gag order too.

    What do you mean by out of order?
    Do they offer IC or employee status, full and/or part time? Just curious. With respect to the out of order comment, do you mean disorganized?
    Out of order
    By out of order I mean she was downright rude when I suggested that I would like to work with my text Expander and dictionaries rather than theirs.
    ETP has a gag order on the employees
    and few privately.
    Me, too! And to think I joined DRC in order to get away - nm

    That's because they have a gag order on employees
    when you hire on, you have to agree not to talk about them on the internet and give them permission to read your mail if they want to see what you write. Also, you agree not to participate in any kind of union activity. This all happened after they hired some consultants to restructure their business practices...and one of the owners even canned his MIL. Fun at family get togethers, huh?

    You might get some private emails, but you won't see anything posted in public by current employees.
    That is probably a tall order with only

    Excuse me, so you are saying that in order to (sm)
    get a raise in this business and be compensated correctly for years of knowledge and medical terminology, that we have to increase our speed?

    Ummm...NO! In 12 years of doing this profession (and I choose to so someone else is not raising my kids - and don't you dare call that a benefit either because it is harder) I have NEVER gotten a raise.

    I should be compensated for the 12 years of knowledge that I have, not told be work faster and harder. Every other profession does that - REWARDS THEIR WORKERS FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

    It is not a matter of being selfish and want, want, want. It is a matter of what is right and wrong.

    US MT's are paid so little per line that in order to
    reports as possible, and the faster you go, the more junk is likely to be produced. I try to proofread everything I produce, but when my tenancy is on the chopping block and the rent is overdue, I type as fast as I can, don't proofread, and hope for the best. It's all about survival.
    QA must have heard it in order to edit it sm
    They knew the sound quality was bad. They had to know. I worked somewhere where the doctors dictated on a tape recorder and then played it into the phone. It was a nightmare and when I said anything, they said they could hear it fine. It was not fine at all.
    It was distant, the volume was low and it was fuzzy.
    Other than through a court order!!!! Never said the info was NEVER given out at all! nm

    Emails daily regarding TAT, order of work
    it's usually first thing in morning; then the auto-generated emails regarding STATS. Otherwise, it's *no news is good news.*

    It would seem strange to get no communication at all.
    Your point? They have to obey a court order. nm

    hmm, strange huh? You are right, wrong order of business seems to me nm

    She said she's going through the resumes in chronological order and is kind of swamped right now.

    No, we did not give out information. No court order involved. sm
    Obviously, TT was able to look at the information provided in the posts and determine who they FELT were making the posts.

    No information has been given out by MTStars on this situation whatsoever.

    Move on.

    My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
    providers will be required to have EMR.
    From of the tone of these posts, perhaps an early morning drink would be in order. sm

    I'm not saying I do not sympathize with the no-work situation.  I have been gone from TT for almost 2 years now, and it happened back then (without the holiday as an excuse) and will continue to happen will be my prediction.  Being called sweetie and told you rock doesn't butter the bread. 


    You have the right idea, though ... relax, enjoy the holiday.  I plan an afternoon on the patio relaxing with a friend and some margaritas ... hold the omelet and bring on the guacamole. 


    They sold off their equipment a month ago in order to stop chasing it down. It was practically giv
    wave pedal $50. They were spending a full time person on sending and getting back equipment. I bought mine, and thought it was better than some that make you rent them or buying my own.

    Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
    other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
    As in largest - largest number of MT's -- what is the order of the

    Is the Q still the largest ? Is Spheris next ? 


    Does anyone have a feel on this subject of late?


    Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
    nm
    But we don't even make what in-house make.
    It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs.  In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees.  That's where I think the unfairness comes in.  The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend.  Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits.  The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays.   Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits.  How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
    you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.

    I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
    than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
    Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?

    Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
    good money.  I'm not with WebMedX though. 
    I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
    biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
    And always make sure you don't make line
    counts that amount to anything.  They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money. 
    I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
    My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
    Make sure you have some (sm)

    money saved up so when they don't bother to send your paycheck or give you excuses, run out of work constantly or take a long time setting you up, you won't go bankrupt.


     


    Okay, those using DQS, how do you do it? How do you make (sm)
    your line count?  How do you everything???  Is Instant Text V Pro anything like Smartype where you key in a few letters and the list comes up?  I'm so stressed from trying to learn this program.  Any, and I mean any, positive pointers you can share would so oh so appreciated!!!  Please help!

    Well you would still make more if
