the account. I was also told by another company that they had bid on the account themselves and were told by the account that they were not going to renew with QT. This was SEVERAL months ago. Some people have been called about another account that was lost in addition to the big one.

I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
I just hired on with Med-Links today ... sm
So far they're very professional and courteous. Decent line rate, IC flexibility, and use Bayscribe as a platform. The owner is an actual MT and understands our work process. Best of all, no weekend work. I almost fell out of my chair when she told me that ... :-).
New Employee too.. Just hired today..
Haven't started working yet of course but was just hired today.. Worked for YOG when they were still around, hopefully its still similar..
I got something from Webmedx today. sm
It came priority mail. Our postman said they were delivering all priority mail today, everything they had there to get it out before Christmas?!!? Whatever!?!? Works for me! Anywho, nice gift/acknowledgement.
I just got hired with webmedx
I can't tell you too much about them, but I accepted an offer from this company and it has been great so far. I got try out the platform and it is different than what I am used, but those on it seem to like it. They use ShortHand for their expander. I am worried about the high percentage of ESL, but I am excited to learn them, as they are everywhere and it will just make us more employable later on (should we need to be). The line is the highest that I have found and I am excited to at least give it a shot. Good luck!
I just got hired for that account. SM
They are hiring 100 MTs for it. My training date is still open as I just told her I would be available after a certain date. They are hiring people beforehand to let them get used to their platform, then will transition them to the new account when it comes mid July. The account is 1000+ beds.
Anyone else having trouble getting into Enterprise for Webmedx today?
Called Solution Center and they say it's a router issue, wait it out? Just wondering if others are having this problem. Thanks!
Anyone know why OSi (GA) lost big account today? (nm)
nm
My account seemed full today..
I hoped it was the same for others. Not so?
Were you recently hired for a new account? If so (sm)
wouldn't it be easier for you to ask them at the office if the acct has started, if not when, if it has, ask for a backup. Coming here and complaining does no good.
yes, but you get hired on a specific account (nm)

depends on what account you are hired for..

depends on what account you are hired in for...
I am on an account that is determined by TAT, not set hours.
Received Webmedx hard copy today
When I hired on they stated the account was listed as 30-35% ESL (sm)
but they thought the percentage might be a litte higher. I have had quite a few ESL, probably closer to 45-50%, but only one was what I considered really horrible and when I went back, QA had left some blanks too, so I didn't feel too bad.
Have been doing this for 20+ years and I still say I would rather have an ESL anyday compared to a mushmouthed speed demon.
So far everything about them and the account I am on has held true to what they said. Very nice people, good sound quality and the program is easy to work on.
I applied, was called and hired for the account I was on at QT. nm
no msg
Anyone hired by Futurenet to work on the new SC account? SM
I might apply, just wanted some info, thanks.
Me too, just hired on, and already the account I am on had very little work over the weekend.
Hope this is just a fluke and its not like this daily.
Yep. Loving the new account that started today! Hooray TT!

Would it be worth discussing this with them before being hired that you want to train on the account
you will be working on and wont stay if you get put on accounts noone else wants. Would that make a difference to be upfront and tell them that.
Depends on the account for which you are hired, my accounts are low occasionally but usually with a
couple of backup accounts and doing all work types, you can do fine.
They lost big account. Go to Webmedx with
xx
that's because Webmedx took over a huge account they used to have. nm
.
Ditto--My Webmedx account is 90% ESL!! I would not SM
change it for the world, either (meaning I REALLY love this account). ESLs are a part of our job, and the more one can learn to love them, the better off! :-) Not to mention I get paid at the top of the scale because my account has such high ESL.
However, I do understand how intimidating ESL can be for some people. I guess it just takes time to get past that. Just give ESL a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised! Good luck in whatever you choose...
Can anyone tell me what the Webmedx account is that is 40% ESLs? sm
I am considering working for them and would like to know the ease of the platform, flexibility of the supervisors, work load, and benefits. Thanks to anyone who can provide me with this information. I looked in archives, but everything is so iffy and not really clear to me. 
Did you call WebMedx to verify that they have the account? NM
NM
My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it. I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx.
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Repeatedly told another new account would come soon, but it never did. In fact, our slow account is.
everyone else's backup account. What a disorganized mess.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm
**
The account I am on only requires 1200 lpd. Maybe it is that particular account. Ask them if they
have a lower one. Doesn't hurt to ask. I do anywhere between 1200 and 1800 lpd. Sometimes it feels impossible to do 1200, sometimes the 1800 is quick. Depends on the doctors and the day for me. I do average 15,000 per pay period though, which is 1500 a day. Not impossible by any means, and I never go over 40 hours a week. Most weeks, I am closer to 35 hours with lunch breaks and life.
I think it depends on the account. I have one account that pays sm
$2.25 for specials and one that pays $3.50. I was on one previously that did not pay them different at all, but they were all short and mostly PICC line placements.
I worked for a hospital that went to KS and they were not charging extra for the specials. I know what they charged per report, and there was no way they were getting rich on the difference after taxes and all that. I was suprised. I was in on the bid review and the average to charge was between $1.75 and $2.75 per report or 0.13 and 0.15 per line. There were 15 companies that bid on the account, and all were within those ranges.
I went to KS about 6 months after the hospital outsourced to them. When we were displaced, I accepted a different job in the hospital and hated it.
That is not true. It varies from account to account. I have
several internet accounts and on some you do have to input the patient information.
I know the account. It is "hybrid" account that is a version of sm
Meditech that is a cross between Meditech Magic and Client, more like Client than Magic. I have been on it since October now do 1500 lines a day; it took me a week to get up to speed but they really helped me. I only know which one because my lead told me that they are adding 10 people to it because KS is getting the whole thing now, only doing 1/2 before this. I love working for Keystrokes :)
Account wen to speech from almost the beginning of the account --
Don't like ExSpeech at all. Very bulky and cumbersome. Much better editing programs. I prefer to straight transcribe on ExText. Pay drops horrendously. But wave of the future for MT's.
The account I am on is internet only. I think it depends on the account. nm

My main account must have been an overflow account. We would
go several many days of the month where we could not pull work, so we all had to go to secondary accounts and there are very few accounts that could absorb the extra people.
Our account is an acute care account
We are low on work too and have been for almost 2 months. We know what is happening to our work though as our supervisor admitted that the work is going overseas. Even though we have 24-hour TAT and we are transcribing reports as they are dictated, they still insist that the work dictated after 7 p.m. has to be sent to the offshore service. It makes no sense to me as we have coverage starting from 6 a.m. and throughout the day. I think it all comes down to bottom line and it doesn't matter if we have work or not because it's cheaper to send it overseas.
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
So, what's it going to be today?
Who is gonna stir up the pot today? Come on gang, lets have a good fight.
How about the ad on TV today....
make $7000 a month PART-TIME....hmmmmm.....
Since today is all about KS (sm)
Ha! Could you tell us if we have our check direct deposited. How do you see it? Do you get stub in mail or intranet, etc.? Thanks!
Way of Today
I don't post here frequently because so many of the messages are vitrolic and full of negativity and meanness. I think the mindset of today's world is reflective of just the opposite of the life advice given by your mother (and mine, too). So many, not all I know, but so many folks these days seem live their lives based on the belief that they should
-say ugly and hurtful things every chance you get.
-be rude and insensitive each and every day in each and every way.
-it is not necessary for people to like you, just make sure they know (that you believe) they are less that you.
-nothing is private, nothing is sacrosanct. Let it all hang out.
-if you're miserable, do your best to make everybody else miserable, too.
-do all manner of dirt unto others, but become aggrieved and just downright highly pissed if (when) you reap what you have sown, and feel empowered to lash out in any and every way you can.
Lyndia, you struck a chord, and I just had to respond
I know. Got my W2 today and I'm down 3G from
deficit and I always thought the idea was to increase; at least that's how it used to be. Never thought I'd see transcription turn into a limited income industry.
QAs being cut today
From what i was told they cut 100% of the US based eScription QA force, 75% of the US based SWAT QA force. I was making 6 cpl as a QA on escription, nice first shift M-F job. They offered me 4/8 cpl as an MT 3rd shift in escription or 5 cpl to be QA for a new account on the Dictaphone side, and told me that being they offered me a new position I would not qualify for unemployment.
is always like that, not only today..nm
