Once foreign owned, always foreign owned.

Just because main office is in NY does not mean they are not owned by offshore. I don't know if
:P
Just because it is American run doesn't mean it isnt offshore owned.

This IS fact in my world. Have worked for offshore owned
p
If offshore owned, they want to play by their rules, treating MTs like slave labor, much like
:+
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
Webmedx's platform is owned by them sm
exclusively. No other company has the exact same one.
WEBMEDX DOES NOT OFFSHORE!!
Webmedx doesn't offshore (nm)
I think the 2 largest companies that do not offshore are Webmedx and Keystrokes. sm
Webmedx is in the $25m range with 750 employees and Keystrokes in the $20m range with 600 employees.
I am not sure about SoftScript or Transtech but I do not think they are bigger than those two.
I know that both have goals to be in the same size range as Spheris. I worked for Spheris in management for a while before coming to my senses and both companies were discussed frequently.
I just hope that MQ or Accusis does not buy either of them. The rumor is that neither will even think of selling but $$$ talks and MQ still seems to have plenty even after losing the lawsuits AND after having a negative income for several years. Not sure how or why, but their pockets are deep, as are those at Accusis.
Thoughts?
FOREIGN MT
YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. FOREIGN OR NOT, THESE PEOPLE DESERVE THE RIGHT TO LEARN AND PRODUCE AND MAKE A LIVING. WE ARE TO POMPOUS AS INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUSINESS. ONLY AMERICANS CAN PRODUCE QUALITY, BOLOGNA. I AM A QA SWAT TEAM MEMBER OF A LARGE SERVICE AND WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF OFFSHORE WORK DONE, THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN MOST AMERICAN MTs. YES THEY ARE NOT PRIVY TO AMERICAN SLANG AND TO THEM THE LANGUAGE A LANGUAGE, MUCH LIKE AN ESL DOCTOR TO US, SO DOES THAT MEAN WE DON'T TRANSCRIBE, SWEAT AND MANY TIMES LEAVE BLANKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH OUR ATTITUDES ABOUT THESE FOLKS. YES THEY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT THEY ARE THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE OF OUR TRADE. THE MORE HOSPITALS, CLINICS, ETC WANT COMPETITIVE CHARGES, THE MORE YOU WILL USE INDIANS, CHINESE, KOREANS, ETC TO APPLY THIS TRADE.
I CAN SPEAK AFTER 20+ YEARS.

Not foreign company
I work for Globespan Medical, Inc and it is not a foreign company as you are thinking. They are based out of California and do not outsource, so not sure what you are seeing and where that they are foreign.
not foreign either but can't get to the site. nm

Foreign Company
You don't want to work for a foreign company why? I'm sure that you purchase items from foreign companies. Everything is going overseas because it is cheaper. Focus is a great company to work for. I've been there for 1 year and haven't had any issues with them. Just because they are foreign doesn't make them a bad company.
Let us know when you accomplish that with foreign MTs.
I'm curious as to how long it takes.
So now we have to put up with this foreign garbage.... sm
undercutting us and taking our work with such poor grammar? You've got to be kidding. This is ridiculous.
If you click on that job listing, at the bottom of the page is a moderator link. Click on that and it will bring up all the moderators e-mails. Let's all e-mail them with thumbs down and get these messages removed.
Red angry smiley face to these moderators and definite thumbs down.
This is a foreign company.
This will offshore all they can. The American MT is the bottom feeder here. Beware!
I smell a foreign spy. You need to...
Leave the board before I report you to Customs and Immigration. LOL.
If you look up the foreign name and the web address
it's associated with /transindiatranscribers. If you're concerned about offshoring, might want to give this one a miss.
No, not foreign sounding
Try ebonics.
Sure it does. It's a myth that foreign cars are better. sm
Does anyone keep jap cars long enough to find out? We have American vehicles ranging from 2001 back to 1960. Still running. It started in the 70s when the factories started closing as goods were being made in Japan, and continued on. Now it's China and India gobbling up our jobs.
If the new owners allow foreign posts,
at the top of the JobSeekers page. It's the second listing on it. It very clearly states no MTs outside of the US. I realize it dates pre-new owners, but they should remove that if they are going to allow such postings. 
Oh, I agree, but the owner is foreign, so

Me too -- foreign websites galore that i found

Does Lee Perfect outsource to foreign countries? nm

And stop buying foreign cars for crying out loud. sm
Look at the 10s of thousands of workers who are being laid off from GM and Ford after giving decades of their lives. Thanks to all you people who buy foreign cars. 
I had the WORST foreign doc cardiac caths there! I only stayed a week. nm

The *American* AAMT now giving memberships/CMTs to foreign MTs....
Shouldn't they at least change the name to UN-AMT or something like that! lol
offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.
nm
This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

many owned
they own many...they acquired 24 companies ...
they own dictaphone, escription, dragon, scan soft...
they are huge...
You do know what you just owned up to, right?
You said you went over someone's else's medical records. I could have no contact doing business with my husband's medical office until he put it in writing. When my elderly aunt needed assistance, unable to talk 1:1 with her medical office. I went to her doctor's office, asked them just to listen to me, make notes of what I was saying and they could take it from there to coordinate care for her and that was what was done. I did not have her permission in writing so I as her niece could not do, neither can I take care of my next of kin, that being my husband, without written permission.
MDI in FL is owned by Transcend
.
Employee Owned
Yes, it is absolutely true that they are employee owned, I have worked for them and their office is about 5 miles from me. Truth be told, this is a small company that continues to struggle with a huge turnover and lack of management. Those who have been there for years (people not in the transcription department) have paid dearly for the decline in their stock value over the past several years; it's quite sad.
And you expect us to believe you know anything about TT? First off, it is not owned by a man,
but rather it is owned by two people. Secondly, they have never, not once, cheated me. I know because I checked extensively every single day when I started and *still* check randomly because I have had such bad experienced elsewhere.
The people are nice, they treat me well, the workload is steady, the work is pretty good. Is it perfect? Of course not. It is, though, the best job I have had in 14 years of doing MT'ing at home.
You clearly have some sort of personal problem with Transtech. Go away and wallow in your own misery.
They are Indian owned
Do a search on the Company Board. Many negatives and they are based on India. Can they even post job ads on this board?
They are Indian owned and run.
nm
Indian owned and run....
It is being overtaken by Indians....used to be a great company - not anymore. Many have left there lately.
They'll just use you to make the Indians' work smell good to the US based clients then kick you to the curb. I wouldn't go there if my life depended on it now!
And so did Carole C. who owned YOG in Monrovia...
until she made the sudden announcement that she had sold!
Wholly owned and run by India. nm

Is Keystrokes owned by a big national? How many MTs do they have? sm
The information I can find seems to be from just a few nay-sayers and cheerleaders and realy offset each other. Anything new? Who are they owned by?
Definitely not related. MW is owned by 1 family. nm

Is this company off-shore owned? sm
I will bet this company is off-shore owned. My experience has been these companies expect US workers to work like off-shore workers. They think we are so grateful to have a job, any job, that they can walk all over us and we will take it, just like they do to their countrymen. US workers who go along with this kind of illegal abuse, deserve what they are getting. Make MT the job you want it to be, don't accept just anything. Pick and choose the companies you work for, find out if they are off-shore owned with the token US front men. Find the kind of accts you want to do and at a price that is agreeable to you. Testing gets easier every time you do it. Get proactive. This will take time, don't rush yourself and don't quit one job until you have another up and in place.
Is Diskriter really employee owned?
My perceptions were that they are one of the most coercive and oppressive companies I have ever interviewed with -- things like..... drug testing as a ROUTINE part of the application, very adamant about working your assigned shift and contacting you if you're not typing, not allowing you to have anything on your machine (including your own word expander). Is the employee owned thing a gimmick or business angle? I would think an employee owned company would be more pro-employee.
TTS is owned by Linda Kelley
She works for Medware. How their business arrangement works - do not know.
American owned companies
I have a question hopefully will get some good answers. Are there any strictly American-owned transcription companies still left out there that do not outsource and are not partnered with oversea's companies? I would love to be able to find one. Hopefully they still exist.
Thanks for any help!
Still a French owned company .
I don't shop at Target for the same reason.
The company is owned by the person who
I don't know much about the company itself, but that would be enough for me not to look at it. I also don't think the pay is too great, 7-8 cpl.
I also worked for MQ and went to a privately owned
company and hate it. I am assigned my own accounts but can't make any money unless I work 12+ hours a day including weekends. They have a 24 hr TAT which I can understand but if a doctor doesn't dictate for 2 days (or more) and then slams you with 2 days worth of dictation I don't think it's fair to expect MTs to turn around all that dictation. I have more than one doctor and don't have a problem with TAT until one or more decides not to dictate for days and then OUCH.
Anyway I've decided to look elsewhere. This company also has alot of physical therapy and there is no money to be made in this field (at least not the way they do business), so I do not do physical therapy.
