Definitely search archives. Its posted frequently. I know its AOL, and some combo of her name! Try
a search of archives on Keystrokes! Good luck!
Our method
I work as an IC as well as an employee. Here's what we do. We have a separate checking account that all of my checks from being an IC go into. We don't have any checks for that account or anything. It's just used as a depository of sorts. My income from the other company where I'm an employee is just direct deposited into my regular checking account. So, all of my IC checks go into this business checking account. We then transfer usually around 35% into a separate savings account that we call the tax savings account. The rest we transfer into the household checking account to pay bills, or depending on what's going on maybe into our regular savings account. So, this business checking account will a lot of times have only a few dollars in it, because the money goes into it, but then is transferred right out first to the tax savings account, and then to the household checking account. What's so great about this method, though, is that since everything I make as an IC goes into this account, and nothing else goes in there, I can easily just add up the deposits quarterly to find out my quarterly income.
According to THE method...
You should get about 1400 lines with this amount of work. Do you?
My method to avoid
buying foreign-made clothing - THRIFT/RESALE/CONSIGNMENT shops. It has been a very long time since I purchased any clothing new/retail, but I have managed to assemble a great professional wardrobe (in case I have to go get a ''real'' job - which is becoming a distinct possibility.) I hit several nearby thrift stores every Tuesday when they open after restocking. I don't keep up on where designer label clothes are actually made but I suspect that like most things they are assembled in third-world countries. However, I can own a guilt-free Ann Taylor suit by buying secondhand. I like to joke that I am not buying the clothing, only renting it. Because when I'm tired of it, the stuff usually goes back to the place I got it.
There is some convoluted method to figuring OT.
The guy in payroll told me how to figure it once, but I forgot it. Something about figuring your total line count, dividing it by something to get your OT lines and then multiplying it time something else. Your OT lines are then subtracted from your total lines, so if you have the incentive bonus over 13,000 and they subtract your OT lines and it's less than 13K, you don't qualify for the incentive bonus anymore. I used to think it was counted for all the lines, but it's not if you have OT.
IntelliType's method of paying????
Could anyone explain to me how IntelliType's tiered method of paying works? I have been offered a job with them but not sure I understand how this works. The recruiter said they pay 8.25 cpl for the first 700 lines, then after that it goes up to 8.50 until you get to 1000, and then up again to whatever amount of lines to 8.75, etc. How do you make any money this way? It's so confusing to me. Their ad states they pay 8-9 cpl, nothing about the tiered payment method. Are you able to make a decent living this way? It just seems very low for IC status.
Thanks for your help.
Bayscribe is a bare bones method
and while it is easy it is really more cheap than MT friendly. I found the spellchecker nonexistent. You have to have some bells and whistles and is there anything more important to an MT than correctly spelled content? I used SpeedType with it and the lousy dictionary and no spellchecker drove me crazy. One opinion. I far prefer a more traditional transcription package .. there are no bargains!
Method of counting lines with ETrans Plus
I'm noticing something kind of fishy with the line counting method used by ETrans Plus out of Nashville after several weeks of working. What is strange is that I can load a template for a particular dictator with several lines of routine text and the line count doesn't adjust if I go from the top to the bottom but continues to count at the point of entry regardless of how many lines of text are between the top of the report and where I jumped to in order to add new text. Has anybody with previous ETP employment experienced this? Just curious and would like to be informed.
How is the DocQscribe line count method controlled?
Every line counting software has a way to mark what to count and what not to count. Does anyone know how this is done with DocQScribe or who controls this?

It matters more on the company than the method. Go with a company that does a lot of sm
radiology or it won't matter because you won't have a big check no matter what. Ask them how many radiology accounts they have, if they are overflow or complete department, how long they have had them and do you get a back-up account.
There are very few out there that have good radiology accounts. Stick with the ones that do. I am with Keystrokes for that reason after going with 4 others that kept running out of work.
The Rates Are Posted Here and Posted Below
The service owner fees are posted in a UnionNow post (below), but here they are again:
SERVICE OWNERS CHARGE:
$0.115 - $0.25 per line for full transcription of acute care on 24/7 accounts
$2.75 - $7.65 per report for full transcription of pathology, lab, specialty operative notes, plain film and interventional radiology
$0.097 - $0.125 per line for VR editing
OF THAT MONEY, MTs ARE RECEIVING
$0.85 - $1.25 per report full transcription
$0.06 - $0.115 per line full transcription
$0.035 - $0.06 per line for VR editing
AS OUR PRODUCTION BRINGS THE MONEY IN, WE DESERVE A LARGER CHUNK OF THE PROFITS - OFFICE STAFF CAN BE TRIMMED INSTEAD OF THE PRODUCTION STAFF. IF A RECEPTIONIST MISSES A DAY OF WORK, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THE PHONE IN HER PLACE. IF AN MT NEEDS A DAY OR SO OFF, PATIENT CARE CAN SUFFER BECAUSE AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF A HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAVAILABLE.
WE ARE STILL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE HEALTH CARE PICTURE. DO NOT SELL YOURSELVES SHORT.
IF YOU ARE AGAINST UNIONS OR INITIATIVES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT BEG THAT YOU RESEARCH, SPEAK TO OTHERS, EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT WORKERS UNITED. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE HERE; THEY'VE TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM US.
WE PROPOSE:
$1.25 PER REPORT TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs
$0.10 PER LINE TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs
$0.075 PER VR LINE EDITED IN THE U.S.A. BY U.S. MTs
RE: How do I search?
I did a search and this is what I came up with:

Your search for Focus, Infomatics found the following documents (of 73654 documents searched):
Displaying documents 1-50 of 387, with best matches first:
At the top of any page on the web site, there is information of search archives,etc.
How do I search?
Hi. I tried to do a search, but can't find anything. Must be doing it wrong, as I am new to the board - can you tell me how to do this? Thanks!
You might want to do a more thorough search
Search the archives here under Rapid Transcript and you will see there are payment problems.
Search for OTI

how did you search
I tried alltype and all type and got nothing.
I did a search first. Does anyone know about
Thank you!
If you do a search, you should be able
to find the recent discussion about TRS.

I have tried to do a search and only get the archived job listings or how many kestrokes type information. I looked through the last week of pages and only found 1 reference to them that they are okay. I would appreciate a little more information before I make my decision. Any help is appreciated:)
have you done a search on
MT Stars for Medware? Not to long ago someone from the VR side of Medware posted that Medware opened a 401K for her, deducted her contributions from her paycheck and then didn't bother to put the money in her 401K EVER. They wouldn't tell her what happened and they wouldn't apologize and they wouldn't compensate her for the lost interest. I seriously recommend you do a thorough search on MT Stars and learn all you can about this company before you take a job with them.
would tell you to search but
for some reason their archives do not show up - probably because of the initials. My understanding is it is not a new account but one they took on and were not ready for - no problems there, just means the work will be there, probably a backlog. I applied and worked there for a short time, but left - too much bureaucracy even after a short time. One staff member gets too rigid for lack of a better word, and I can get snippy from my kids, don't need it from work - I am an IC not a welcome mat.
They want you on and working during your 8-12 hour shift - not something I care to do wroking from home. I work 12-16 hours, but like to stretch my legs if you know what I mean.
Past posts worry about pay, and if I am avaialble 12 hours without fail, I want my money - I am taking no chances.
Do a search here
I think there was a whole thread about them in November or December 2006.
did you do a search?

do a search...
The best advice is always to do a search in the archives and get yourself an idea of all the different experiences people have had with Alltype. Some will be good and some will be bad. That is true of most companies. Myself, I am always suspicious if comments are all good or all bad. Lots of people plant things on this board to make their companies look good. Lots of others plant things to make a company look bad. Search it out yourself. Good luck!!!
Search
Use the Google search bar and just make sure mtstars is marked for the search instead of the web.
Search TTS
I do NOT recommend them.
You can use the search box...
that is just to the right of post new message button on this board, and you will come up with lots of information on MD-IT, as its a company discussed here frequently. Good luck!

If you search within this website, under company, for mxsecure you will find a lot more positive posts.
some people have bad experiences, just like with any company, but I know a lot of people have really good experiences there and are still working there and happy.

NMMM
I did a search on them just now as
I am looking to change employers, and find names of companies I had never heard of on this site. Then I check them out the best I can through the internet.
Whoa! Be careful. Unless something has changed, the work you will get will be the overflow from India.
Do some research yourself before you accept an offer from them. Then you will be more comfortable taking or declining their offer.
search gets nothing... help sm
I never have luck with that search feature. Now I'm putting in MD-IT and it keeps removing the - between MD and IT and I get nothing.
I just did a search..sm
apparently they no longer use the name vision infonet, but rather MD Care/EMR billing and coding. The senior executive is Rakhi something or other and she is in India. Enough said, I guess.
Of course! I did a search of MD-IT
Please tell me where the info is, because my search turned up very, very little.
you can search here
nm
Why not try a search first, and then if there
are still questions, check each of their web sites. Searching is easy and fun....
