MQ has a 70% reduction in pay for ASR, what is the reduction rate for Webmedx? nm
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
Reduction
The line count on the new platform.
asr reduction for MQ is actually 30%
meaning you make 30% less.
ASR reduction @ WMX is 33% (sm)
For example, if you were making 7 cpl on standard transcription you will be paid 5.38 cpl for ASR.
And it's not 70-80% reduction - it is 30%. nm

I am seeing a reduction sm
in pay and also an increase in number of years experience these companies are asking for. I saw one company on another MT job listing site that wanted a minimum of 15 years experience! As far as supporting a family, it all depends on what your production is. For folks that can do 2000-2500 lines a day (depending on what they are making) it is still possible to support yourself. Because of this economy and folks not paying as much, it is going to take a lot more experience and ability to do ANY and all types of MT to keep your head above water.
For the MTs who are limited in types of MT they can do, it is going to be very hard to stay self-supporting. Unfortunately, just like the rest of the working world if you can get a job, you will have to accept concessions in this business just like everyone else has. It STINKS but it is a fact of life. If you want to continue to do MT, then it is the reality. Nobody is paying much anymore or even has jobs unless you want to change your profession, go into nursing etc or some other profession where the jobs are at!
A 33% reduction
to be exact, that is a heck of a reduction in your paycheck not to be considered technically a pay cut!
Just curious - what's the reduction in pay about?

Reduction in rate for ASR work. (sm)
I know Medquist does 20% reduction for ASR and I have heard some do 50%. I can't imagine doing this for 50% less on my line rate. There must be something more to this. Info?
Raises? LOL! I anticipate getting a reduction in rate.

At this point MQ only has 20% reduction in line rate for VR. (sm)
I know that could change, but it sure seems a lot better than so many companies who are offering half of the normal line count for VR.
There may be things I don't like about MQ, but this has to be considered a plus.
I understand DSG uses DQS, do they do ASR and what percent reduction in rate? nm

What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm

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?
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??

Been with them 10 months. They are great. Fair. Great platform. Great pay. But, I have been doing this for 25 years, no idea how it is for newbies that need hand-holding. Though the trainers seem competent and willing, the little contact I had with them.
I like WebmedX very much.
Most important, pay is on time, direct deposit, and always correct. QA folks are very helpful without being condescending. They and the managers really do want you to do well and do whatever they can to help you achieve that. I am on a heavy ESL account and yet I find it quite easy to do as there are so many avenues of help with access to numerous samples and the ability to view transcribed records.
My experience has been quite good with this company. I can only speak for Webmedx as I have not worked for Medware.

Apparently, you don't really want opinions if you don't want to hear from "Bashers."
However, I have nothing bad to say - I have been there 8 mos. - come on board. They have great insurance. They provide you with a text Expander with your computer, and they pay on time everytime. My supervisor is probably the best I have ever had - I've been in this business for over 20 years.
WebMedX
Having worked for both and currently WebMedX, they're the best choice. They are a lot nicer and easier to deal with, their pay is better, their benefits are better, their scheduling is better. I honestly have had no complaints with them. Once Spheris went through their whole restructuring plan for pay and line counts, they went right down the tubes as far as caring about their employees instead of the almighty $$ for themselves, in my opinion (sort of like MQ is doing right now).

WEBMEDX

WEBMEDX!
Webmedx sends out Christmas gifts, as well as gifts during MT Week. This compan rocks!
WEBMEDX - NO
Run from Webmedx
WEBMEDX
Can anyone give me some insight on this company? Do they provide steady work, do you make your lines and hours either PT or FT, benefits and are MTs appreciated? Thanks!!!
WEBMEDX
I have been with Webmedx for several years now (acute care MT) and they are a wonderful company to work for! I have a great account, a flexible schedule, and feel very appreciated by the management staff. We just received our Christmas gifts. I also received gifts during MT Week. The platform they use is very easy to learn. I hope you give them a try!
What about Webmedx?
Webmedx hires PT MTs and rates run between 7 and 9 CPL, depending on the difficulty of the account. We are all running OT right now and more accounts are coming on next week. They provide computer too.
webmedx
I will check them out! Thank you!
Definitely WEBMEDX!
They are an AWESOME company to work for!
WebmedX
Anyone know anything about Webmedx? TIA
WebMedX
Has anyone ever worked for WebMedX, and can you tell me if you are happy or unhappy. Could you tell me a little about it.
WebMedX
They don't pay! That basically sums it up.
webmedx
I've worked for them for over 6 years doing Radiology. Every two weeks my check is in the bank. I worked for an MTSO for 7 weeks and every check has bounced. Is the pay as good as a hospital or free standing Radiology clinic. NO. But someone who wants to work at home because of small children or transportation problems couldn't go wrong working for them.
Webmedx sm
I just checked. The recruiter said they are not hiring IC's.
WEBMEDX!
I have been working for Webmedx now as an MT for over five years and they are great! Probably the most professional company I have ever worked for.
Webmedx
Do they pay relatively well for experienced MTs? I have 11 years of experience, 9 of those acute care. Does anyone know their pay scale? Thanks.
Webmedx also going VR
but they do have bonus pay -- for now.
webmedx
Have no knowledge of Axoltol, but Webmedx is heavy ESL and some really bad ones (I used to QA there). On a positive note, their software is incredibly easy to use and pay was decent, everyone nice to work with.
Webmedx
Any information on this company pros and consciousness appreciated
Thanks

Webmedx sm
I have worked for them for almost four years. They are a good company to work for, but they have a LOT of ESLs. They pay by the line. They do offer good benefits and PTO.
WEBMEDX
Webmedx does not pay by minutes, but by the line. I have worked for this company for several years and absolutely love it!
WEBMEDX
You are very welcome!
Webmedx - 100%!!!!
They are tops to work for!!
