There are 4 new clients starting over the next month....sm
One of which will need 120 transcriptionists. That's whassup! 
SS has a lot of new accounts that have just started and more starting over the next few months. sm
As far as I know, SS is totally US based (going by what I was told). They are offering OT right now for us MTs. I am enjoying it certainly and I have been here for a couple of years.
Is anyone making around 4K a month and if so where?
nm
If most are only making that much per month
they definitely should find another line of work. Why stay and be irritated beyond belief to make chump change? I would definitely go to Walmart or 7-11 if I did not make more than that and I only work part-time.
I have never heard of an MT making 1K per month
I make MUCH more than that....more like 1K per week and if it was per month of course I would find a new profession!
How much per month are you making, - equipment fees?
x
I hate it and I am making about $200 bucks less a month. sm
I miss doing straight transcription, but I can't find any companies with steady work doing straight transcription. I am forced to do VR now and am making about 200 bucks less a month on eScription platform.
TT is also hiring for a cancer hospital that is supposed to be starting later this year. They have
of four new hospitals starting between September and December.
I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on. I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
Why is Medware hiring? I just quit after 2 months because
.
Was slow for months - now picking up but not hiring
Do you recommend starting with clinic notes or acute care when just starting in the MT field?
!I realize this question may be better suited for the new MT board, but this board is my favorite)
I am considering accepting an acute care position, even though I am just out of MT school. However, I don't want the learning curve to be so steep that I fail before I even begin. I would also like to have a smaller pool of dictators to transcribe from as opposed to many.
Also, are there more ESLs in acute care versus clinic/dr office work?
What has your experience been? Would you do it differently?
Thanks for any insight!
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
I got 10 for 10 yrs exp and just starting with them
Could you have misunderstood maybe?
Thanks !!! I was starting to wonder....
and just this morning, I got an email about a new dictator for my account..
Starting soon
I'm starting there soon. Just wondered as I have noticed it down this week. Thanks.
Starting soon.
From what they explained to me, it is quality and affordable, Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Starting out definitely no more than in the SM
mid 20s and that's if you are typing all the time. I have been doing this for 15 years and yes, I use expanders, etc. but I have never made more than $37,000 gross in any year (and some of my jobs were hourly PLUS incentive). My income has declined every year since 2000--the Social Security yearly statement attests to that.
Anyone starting with CIT? Do we know who they are? nm
s
If you are first starting out...
and need really good experience, Medquist is a good starting point. MedQuist is not the company for you if you want to make over 25K a year.
Maybe it is D&L starting over!!
x
Do you know when it will be starting?
nm
all starting to come together now...
Good news; I've got my software installed, a primary and a secondary account assigned and am fixing to start training. When it started to pull together, it has happened fast. So far, so good.
starting over - help
never thought i would come back to full-time MT - spent the last 10 years raising my daughter and working part-time in various places that we have lived. My husband is in construction, and we just aren't making it any more. The only thing i know how to do is transcribe, so I am looking to come back.
I quit in 1998 - i worked for ddi for 7 years - after Rick Cammeron sold the company to MQ, it got awful, so i stopped. I really don't want to work for MQ again (they were really nasty to us). I did everything for ddi - lots of ops and consults, and cardiology (for Good Sam in LA - great account)
What are my options? who are the best companies to work for? what about speech recognition - can you make any money at it? I have heard some people say they can't make anything becasue they are getting 20% taken off their line rates -others say that they are making money at 50% off.
I don't know anything about the recognition stuff - can someone help me? I am interested because i might not have to type as much - i am willing and able to work hard, but when i quit, my hands were bothering me a lot - i have been transcribing part-time for doctors with no trouble - but only for a few hours a day - don't know that i could handle 8+ hours a day.
I have so many questions. At ddi, we were all independent contractors - i liked that, but then we didn't need insurance. seems like a lot of companies offer employment with insurance. what do they pay? i have heard from a lot of people that the pay is less than 10 years ago. how could that be? don't these companies know that everything costs more?
anyway, any advice would be SO helpful. I have to do this, we are running out of money, and i don't want to get s.....ed by some awful company that promises everything and you end up with all ESL and no work.
thanks everybody.
I will be starting 7/1
Have you started yet? Let me know how it goes. I've been out of the MT field for almost five years. I'm going to start practicing my old dictation tapes to get back in the swing of things. I hope everything works out and I like it. :)
Starting Over, thanks!
I've got about the same amount of experience as you have. I know what you mean about working at home and trying to take care of yourself, too, sometimes hard to balance everything, but for right now, even though I miss the social aspects at times, think this is what I still need for right now. Just need to a 'little' more exercise time somewhere, or in other words make it a priority!! to fit it in. Thanks for the encouragement! Good luck to you
just starting
with MDI and am really looking forward to it...just being able to talk with someone who is on planet earth was soooo refereshing! i guess we have to be able to weed out the crap when listening to others...i'm happily heading in!
They are getting it, starting 6/1. sm
I called and asked after I saw this. The papers are being signed today and a letter going out.
Their pay is not low. For a while, they were starting sm
everyone at 8 cpl for 90 days to see if it works out for both people. As a Lead MT for them, I see a lot of people who test well and have great resumes but either do not do what they are scheduled to do, have incredibly low volume or horrible quality. This way, it is an evaluation period for both sides.
I do know that they will start higher than that and have been thinking of a few other ideas for that evaluation period.
One thing that I find funny is that for a while, there was a $300 sign-on bonus and a few other things in place related to volume and quality that would give more, but not many people bothered to do the math and see that if they can produce 1200 lines a day with good quality, it came out to 0.09-0.10 per line for that period and beyond.
I have been with them for 5 years this June. I have never made less than $45,000 in a year and that was only one year when I took time off for surgery and my daughter's wedding; the other years I have made over $55,000.
More important is that 0.08 per line with a lot of work is better than 0.10 with nothing available. JMO.
Will someone please let me know the starting pay
for Voice Systems, LLC? Also, if anyone has any current information on the company, such as pay on time, direct deposit, ESLs, platform and anything else you can share, please do. Thanks!
Oh, sure, 260 lines just starting on DQS.
Starting with MedQuist soon...
I've been through training and was emailed earlier this week that by my hiring coordinator that she was submitting a DocQScribe user request and would update me as soon as I'm added. How long can this take, and should I email and find out what the status is? Since I'm new I don't want to appear overly annoying or anything. Should I wait it out a few more days or not?
Thank you for saying that. I was starting to feel
like it was just me, but I agree. If it is not working out, that does no one any good. I wish you the best with them!! I hope they are great for you:) I wish they had been for me.
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

I am starting for Transcend next
week. I applied for heavy on the ESLs job listing, so it will be interesting. I do so many ESLs now at MQ, I don't think it will be much different. I am going PT with them.
She is a bit old to be starting a new business, I
don't think she would be very successful because after she lied to so many people and they would not be supportive of her. She was also having some health issues. I think she made a bundle off of the sale that she said would NEVER happen and she is enjoying herself.
that was supposed to be "I believe..." (I was starting
oops.
Starting at Keystrokes Jan 2...
It was hard to leave my current position but not enough work and a tightly locked wage ceiling...have heard lots of good things about Keystrokes, and right out the gate will be making more money plus getting paid vacation which I don't have now, so I'm excited! But I agree, change is hard! Happy New Year!
You are exactly right. New things starting, I believe.

What is their starting pay rate?
Interested in knowing. They seem like a good company but I have heard the pay is low for radiology MT. Could you let me know? Thanks.
What is their starting pay rate?
Where are they located?
Thanks! I was starting to think I'd been fired!
