The telephone interview consists of about
15 to 20 questions regarding medical terminology; i.e.; what's the abbrevation for centimeter, what is an AccuCheck used for, some other simple questions.
Webmedx phone interview
The Webmedx phone interview is painless. Just some questions, I interviewed for acute care, so I think there were 20 questions. They were easy, though. I also took a transcription test which was not bad either. I'm hopeful I have found a place I can be for awhile.
Webmedx interview process
Can anyone give tell me about the interview process for Webmedx? I have one soon and am so nervous. I would appreciate any info out there! Thank you!
Soon to be ex-MQ'er, have interview with WebMedX any info please - sm
Also took job with FutureNet as IC, is one better than the other. I am sure they are both better than MQ. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
WebMedx - 12 hour?
Just curious with the 12-hour window for Webmedx, whether they are more interested in actual time (clocking in/out for 8 hours) or just meeting quota within that timeframe.
Any other information about pay, workload, flexibility is greatly appreciated...from what I've read they seem to be a great company.
Thanks!
webmedx gives you a 12 hour window. nm

Webmedx allows you a 12-hour window as
employee.
Webmedx allows 12 hour window

I know Webmedx pays $11/hour for 1 week.
I have seen in the past week other companies that pay, but I didn't pay attention to who they were. I found the info browsing the job boards.
Webmedx pays $11/hour for one week and then
pay 25% above line rate for 3 days to give you some time to build-up production.
Anyone gone from MQ to Webmedx? Care to comment? How many lines per hour? Thanks.
I know I can do 300-350 now, but who knows when you change.
Webmedx 12 hour window question.. Do you have to time in and out? (sm)
Do you get to choose the 12 hour window hours?
Do you really mean they are that flexible. Say you have to go to school and pick up a sick child, do you have to notify anyone you will be leaving your computer or can you just go and tend to business as long as you work your 8/12?
Sorry, that does seem to be more than 1 question.
Webmedx offers a production bonus based on your lines per hour sm
over a minimum amount. Amount varies by amount produced. Not split in a pot like mentioned above. I don't understand how that would work?
Telephone lines - sm
Depends on which platform you are working on. I only need one phone line to receive the dictation, and I have cable internet connection to send the reports. Not sure what you need for any of the other platforms MDI-FL uses.
I talked to her by telephone. sm
After about a 5-minute conversation, I knew I wouldn't be going to work for her. When I asked her about pay dates, she stated that MTs do not get paid until she receives payment from the client because, well, you just never know. She also stated that if she does not feel an MTs work is where she thinks it should be, she will lower their line rate. In my opinion, this person is very unprofessional. I agree with the above post about staying very far away from this business.
Received telephone call from Jim?
I also received a phone call from Jim the hiring person. I never responded back. I better think second thoughts on this job. Sounds like you were totally ripped off.
If you like playing telephone tag after all that, I didn't. nm
nm
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.
what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR
try READING the post.
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.
x
$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.
I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.
I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm
s
Are there any QAs out there that are getting paid by the hour at 15+/hour? If so, where are you and
how are the work conditions/requirements/benefits,etc?
For example, I count every hour on the hour with my job
and while I was posting here and also checking email in between I averaged $22 an hour for 2 hours, not bad for someone who is a) slow or b) does not have a lot of time in transcription work; therefore making me a prime candidate for VR.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm

Your interview.......sm
It depends on so many things. Will you be working as an employee (with benefits) or IC? Your post makes it sound like you'll be an independent contractor, as employees are usually not given the option to determine their own pay scale.
It also depends on what kind of work you'll be doing. If it's just x-rays, i.e., short reports, you're better off charging by the report. Try to keep in in the $1.25 per report range and make sure you get paid for links; two separate reports on the same job, like shoulder and clavicle would be two reports, CT of the abdomen and pelvis would be two reports. On the other hand, if you'll be doing long reports like MRIs, Special Procedures, etc., then you'll do better charging by the line. 65 character line with all spaces included. I would ask for 9 cpl at the least. Maybe 10. They'll probably try to chew you down anyway. And most importantly, walk in there with confidence and professionalism. Don't be intimidated by them. You are a professional. Don't ask them what they are offering. Tell them, in a polite but firm manner what you expect to be paid, and see how they react.
Well, that's my advice. Good luck. Let us know how it turned out.
Your interview - sm
Just my opioion, but for those hours you should get shift differential and weekend compensation too, and you're right, they do stink....also, I've worked that shift and there are times when there is no work..some docs don't dictation for 4-5 hours, and then dictation all the reports at once, so find out what the story is if you have NO work for a length of time...why sit around waiting for work during those hours for nothing? Be sure they can guarantee that you will be busy the whole shift...and if not, get something out of it. Good luck.
Your interview.......sm
Sounds like it went well. Give it a try. If you're not happy with them in a month or two, start looking for other opportunities. Good luck!
Interview
My interview just consisted of general employment info. Not a lot of questions to me, mainly just telling me about the benefits, pay, etc. and discussing what kind of schedule you want, etc.
I've had interviews in the past that were more like a test, but this was not one of them.
I work for Diskriter on a SmartSource account where I am actually an employee of the hospital itself. They also have accounts where you are employed by Diskriter. I have no complaints at all. My lines counts are much higher than when I worked at MQ. Although the pay is pretty average, if you are a high producer the incentive really makes a big difference. There have been postings on this board in the past about hospitals/QA being extremely picky, but I have not had that problem.
Good Luck in your interview!
The interview
was actually the offer of a job. They asked me what my favorite specialities were, what I did not like to type, etc. The recruiter was very nice. BUT...the platform is horrible and keeps going down. Lotsssssss of problems. Not staying myself.
Interview
Interview was no big deal. Just basic interview questions about your experience and what you are looking for, what they offer, etc. There was no test over the phone that I remember.
When they interview you why don't you ask them
how many times they have been investigated by the labor board. THIS IS NOT A LIE OR A NASTY REMARK. THIS IS THE TRUTH!! They have been in trouble with the labor board on a couple of occasions!
What was the interview like? TIA NM
NM
I might add that I did not interview for
a recruiter position, but an MT because I do MT on the side. Because recruiting takes up so much time, I am literally thinking about going back into full time MT and if I do that, this would be the company that I would work for.
Interview? sm
What did the interview consist of, Nelli? Just curious. Know some who interview over phone and that is not acceptable to me. Some use their books but I would draw a total blank! Would rather test online.
The interview
was over the phone and was just an interview... No testing of any kind whatsoever. I visited with my then immediate supervisor about my past work experience, etc. I didn't actually have to prove my knowledge, which I thought was a little weird, but whatever I guess. Pretty low key. I honestly do not know if they called my past employer or not. She offered me a position at the end of our conversation and emailed me a job offer after our conversation, which I had I think 7 days to respond to. We discussed pay, hours, benefits, etc., during our phone interview. Does that help?
Just had interview
I was offered 50% ESL. Pay/bene's seem same as MQ. Sounds like MT support is better, and Webmedx was 2006 AAMT Employer of the Year. But now with everyone jumping ship at MQ, things may open up for me more there!
interview
I do too. I am nervous also, but telling myself I have nothing to lose after MQ, at least I hope so!
If you don't ask anything else in a job interview
Insist that they tell you much your line rate will REALLY be. Some companies that use Dictaphone EXText take a flat percentage off the top to allow for headers and footers, no matter that not all headers and footers are the same, they are different for different hospitals but they are greedy and take anywhere from 10 to 17% (that I have proof of) off the top so if you are told you will get 8 cpl you will have to deduct the percentage from that. I'm sure that other companies that use different software do the same thing. Ask them to tell you what their flat percentage is. If they refuse to tell you stop the interview!!!!!!!!!!! 
I know for a fact that one company takes 17% off and their president went in one day and changed all the headers to have hardly any lines in them at all but they still take that 17%. I worked very closely in the home office and saw that with my own eyes and that greed made me find another job. I did not want to be a part of any company like that which would cheat the employees that way.
Remember, if they refuse to tell you the flat percentage that they skim off the top of EXText or other software (the magic number) STOP THE INTERVIEW!
also at interview ask
1. The platform used. Is it MS Word. What Expanders work on it. Can you use the Expander you are knowledgeable about.. be it Autocorrect, Shorthand, Instant text, etc.
2. How many steps are there in setting up a report to begin typing... And then how many to send a report.
3. How long from date of hire until you actually start on the account.
4. People currently on the account... what is the range of lines per hour that people are doing..
interview
Good luck! They expect 1200 lines/day for full-time, 8 cpl, employee status with 90 days' probation. I actually just heard from them again and have another interview Monday...Sounds good/legit; I've been doing this for 8 years and have worked for a lot of people. They said there's never a lack of work, either!
interview
My husband had a fit when the only interview time they gave me available was for 10:15 or 10:45 p.m. on a Sunday. Needless to say, that didn't go over and the interview was abruptly cut short.
MDI interview
They're fine. Work is plentiful. Platform is okay. Don't overcommit your daily lines, be conservative and when you go over they are very grateful.
I have an interview! sm
One of the girls on the board here helped me out by forwarding my info to the recruiter, and she put me in for an interview on the 2nd. I've never worked IC, but this is what I've been wanting, so I hope the interview goes smoothly and I'm offered the position. If so, I look forward to working with you. :)
During my interview....
Person stated they pay 7.5 cpl for clinic work with minimum 1200 lines/day. Insurance was with Aetna. I didn't take the job. Dunno much else.
interview
I would call. There are some who use the tactic that the person who calls gets the job. I have always followed up, especially when I was told I would hear something. Call and ask if the position is still available. Can't hurt and they will know you are really interested.
Interview
My recruiter was nice also, in fact from your description, probaby the same one; however, nice doesn't pay the bills. In fact, if the recruiters are being so blatantly honest about the lack of work, what the hell are they doing hiring in the first place?
MDI interview
Hey there...to anyone currently working for MDI...any news? Good? Bad? How is the interview? I don't currently have any equipment other than for the company I work for; I have an interview in a couple days, do I need a foot pedal or anything? Do you take a typing test during the interview? I have not taken a transcription test for 15 years as I have been with my company for that long and am now looking for supplemental income. Any information would be greatly appreciated! TIA!!
Re: interview
The interview is very casual. They don't quiz you or test you. They have seen your resume and obviously that is enough for them. I think the main purpose of the interview is for them to see what you are looking for in the job and for you to see what they are looking for and for you both to determine if you are a good fit.
The equipment you will need depends on what kind of account you are hired on. You will have to talk to the recruiter about that at the interview if you are offered a position.
I have been there for 3 years and am happy. No work being sent to India, no speech recognition to mess with, just straight typing, good communication, and everything is fair and professional.
