Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
MQ pays 60% of transcription rate for VR.
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.
Transcend only pays 55% of line rate for editing...
I could have dealt with an 80% cut. I think that is a very fair rate. That is my whole point. I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing. I have a problem with the cut being too large. I think 6 cpl would have been fair. That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous. If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair. Transcend is just greedy!!
Medquist no longer pays hourly rate for QA - that
It is MME. You do QA for 3 cents a line. Then when that runs out, which it does, you do Editing at 5 cents a line. And you also get straight transcription which is 8 cents a line.
Was in the pilot program and got more Editing and straight Transcription than QA.
No more QA department for MQ.
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average
You have to go to NJ to train and pick up their computer & she pays a low per-page rate. nm
s
do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?
Thank you so much for your help!
As long as Webmedx pays well for VR
accounts, I won't mind, but if they do like Transcend, I will have a real problem. I can't afford to make half the line rate I make transcribing doing VR. We'll see and hope for the best.
I don't know the current rate
So I wouldn't want to give the wrong information. When I did it, it was nearly (but not quite) double what most companies were paying. I'm sure they would be very upfront about telling you.
Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
Who in the heck pays you that insulting rate. As Dr. Phil says, "Are you kidding me" LOL
There is no way. I cant get over it, 2 cpl a line???? just pennies a line what an insult for your time. I dont care if you are an old MT or newbie that is ridiculous and when people accept that kind of pay it just drives down the cpl for all of us. I mean heck if they can get people to do it for 2 cpl, why pay 5 cpl so they can pay their bills. That just blows my mind. You'd be better off working an 8-hour shift at McDonalds.
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.
Webmedx pays for half of the testing fee...sm
if you pass, which I think is very generous.
They also raise your line rate a quarter cpl when you become a CMT, which is not fantastic, but we all know any addition to your cpl can add up.
It's more than most companies offer.
Webmedx pays 8 hrs holiday pay (based on your LPH sm
production rate), plus whatever you transcribe for the day. Effectively, this is like double-time.
Webmedx pays very well for VR - probably the highest or close to it. nm
nm
Webmedx pays fairly well, not flexible, though.
They used to hire with a 12-hour window, but I have heard they don't do that anymore, just a straight 8 schedule. Good luck.
Your current rate must be way higher than 7 or 8 cpl
I have more years experience than 11 and they were only paying me 8.2 cpl. I would have had to make almost 750 lines per hour to make the amount I was making before they went to BT. They admitted themselves that it's not possible. It really disgusts me that they expected us who had been with them a while to continue working for them with that amount of paycut, help them educate their new VR system, work on studies to help them repair all the bugs, and then turn around and offer newbies 10 cpl. I have no idea where the heads of these people are, but they certainly aren't on their shoulders. I'm so happy to be out of there and for the past few weeks, I haven't felt the stress and despair that I felt every single day for months at Transcend. That alone is worth leaving for me and the higher pay is a plus too.
I'm not talking about my current ISR rate
I was supposed to start a VR account but guess what - they kept all their editing in house and won't send anything for me to edit. I'm not speaking of the existing ISR rate at all because I do not use it. So when they convert I'll go straight from the big money (ha!) to the tiny money, no current SR speed bump to slow me down.
My base rate is .075 cpl FOR STRAIGHT TYPING. Top tier adds .02 to that. Added together the first figure is what I get for straight typing.

Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?

Webmedx pays weekend and shift differential. nm
Does anyone know what the current family rate for insurance is with Keystrokes?
Im looking at comparison costs.
Current Deventure line rate range??
If anyone cares to share what their range is (straight typing), please post or email me. Would also like to know what the average weekly cost is for family coverage. I have read through the archives and saw info on rates, but it is old.
Webmedx current VR
Am I going crazy here, or has anyone else noticed that since the webinar on Tuesday our current VR seems to be doing much worse than it usually does. I'm working on reports by the same dictators that I always do and VR isn't getting a lot of what they are saying, putting the wrong words, missing entire sentences, etc. It usually does much better than that. Some kind of sabotage to prove that the new ISR software is better??
I am a current Webmedx employee. sm
MTs have posted here that they've had trouble with the time clock situation. Time you use to research words, stretch your hands, whatever, eats into your official time/lph. So to keep your lph decent, you may find yourself clocking out for every little thing, which makes your day extremely long. They do give you a window of time in which to complete your reports, but you'll probably find yourself using those 12 hours to do the 8, and who wants to work 12 hours a day every day? I have also had problems with running out of work on primary and secondary accounts, only to bounce around on a daily basis on several others.
Other concerns about Webmedx are due to a case of someone with no MT experience and too much power making poor decisions that are adversely affecting many employees, IMO. I would definitely recommend staying AWAY from the QA end of things at Webmedx if that opening arises unless there's a change in top management.
I don't know anything about Axolotl. Do you have any other options besides these two? Could you be an IC sompelace else? If you get benefits elsewhere, some of the IC opportunities at other companies are the best.
Current Webmedx people who came from MQ. Looking for comparisons. sm
Like how do their line counts compare to MQ?
How is their time keeping method compared to E-time?
How steady is the work compared to MQ? Interested in Acute work on this.
E-mail if you wish. Thanks.
Need current info on ETransPlus i.e. work load, line rate (ballpark), cost of benefits, SM
and overall treatment of their MTs. I found archived opinions but all old. Is anyone there now that can comment? Thanks!!
Have interviews with Axolotl and Webmedx. Need opinions from CURRENT MTs about their future
I have interviews for an Acute Care MT position (employee, not IC) with both Axolotl and Webmedx and would like some CURRENT feedback before I make a decision. Have been an Acute Care MT for over 30 years and want to “plant” myself at my LAST job before retirement. Getting too old to keep going through these testing/interview processes.
I have researched both Axolotl and Webmedx and to no surprise the poster either hates 'em or loves 'em. It seems like both companies have gone through some major changes during 2006 and plan more changes in the future – good or bad – depending on who is replying. From preliminary information, they seem to be comparable in pay, both provide the computer, insurance is reasonable at both, and other benefits are close to identical, which is making it hard for me to swing one way or the other without more information.
I would really appreciate either a post or E-Mail from CURRENT (or newly former) employees of Axolotl and Webmedx with their opinion as to if they feel reasonably confident they can continue to make a comfortable living over the next few years (or at least not have drastic downward changes in their future incomes), where they think their employers are going in the future, if they are comfortable with the direction they are taking (job security), and if they think they will still be working for the company in say 5 to 10 years (or at least plan to, baring unforeseen circumstances). Any information you care to share on ESL and achieving/maintaining minimum lines per pay period would also be helpful. Any other information you would care to share would also be greatly appreciated in my attempt to decide the PROS and CONS of these two companies.
Needless to say, I would love to hear any negatives in case I need to go in a totally different direction. Any former employees who would care to share why they left would be very insightful too.
Any information you have will certainly help in my decision making. Thank you in advance.
Webmedx and other companies. What pay rate for VR? (sm)
I work for MQ now and they pay 70% of your regular transcription line rate for voice recognition/editing. Just wondering about Webmedx and any other companies. Thanks in advance.
They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM
xx
Same for Webmedx - 70% of your regular line rate. sm
That's better than some - I hear a few pay a flat rate of 2 or 3 cpl for editing!
And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate.
***** Your base transcription rate x 0.625.
Webmedx has BCBS and some accts pay that rate, more with incentives. sm
Plus we have shift differentials too.
You DO get a line rate increase for passing the CMT at Webmedx. sm
Ask your supervisor.
Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
MQ has a 70% reduction in pay for ASR, what is the reduction rate for Webmedx? nm
for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee: Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level? If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied. I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets. Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.
:
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?
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
