MQ pays the highest, but that's because
they give you so many different accounts to learn all the instructions for. Some have as many as 20 to 30 new accounts per day. It's not worth it. Are you sure you really need to learn VR? I'd stick to straight transcription. It pays way better.
Webmedx comes pretty close...sm
to meeting your requirements. They do have a fair amount of ESL and I doubt you could get a M-F schedule, but everything else they can and do offer.
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 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 also pays 70% of your current rate. nm
.
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 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.
Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?

Webmedx pays weekend and shift differential. nm
Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
Webmedx pays 70% of your regular line rate. nm

She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm

Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm

Believe the highest
I've seen for IC is 10 cpl, 11 cpl w/benefits has been gone since the 1980s.
The highest ever on VR I got was
probably around 3700+ for the day. I also have straight to go along with that. Usually on straight only I would do 2000+ a day. I had great dictators the day I got that almost 4000 lines. I have been told (?) by the higher ups we have people who can double. As far as the quality, we are not allowed to let quality slip as we have to keep 97-98% accuracy and we are checked every 3 months. The only problem I have with editing is now I edit the world and scan and immediately see any misspelled words.
I don't think there is a highest paying sm
speciality any more. Radiology used to be pretty decent. Wages have gone down across the board.
Which companies pay the highest for VR work? nm
Highest I've hear was MQ but I
VR doesn't pay anywhere near what it should for the work that needs to be done with it.
Considering I am one of the highest line producers in the company sm
I doubt I will change jobs. There are no other offices, just different account managers, and mine is the best one, and the one with the most experiences. My accounts are extremely heavy ESL and I do really well with them, over 300 lph.
However, she asked about the platform and, unfortunately, it is awful. It is clunky, slow, and screws up constantly. That is what I was answering, the question regarding the platform. My opinion is hardly an isolated one among the company MTs. The ones who find it as workable as you say are very rare.
Why not email ask lowest to highest rate sm
say prior to testing and interview as it will save both sides time. Also, ask, if there is a deposit on their supplied computer. Spheres was $500 returned in SIX MONTHS another was $300. I will not even consider this crap of 7,8,9 etc even down to 4 and 5. Don't waste my time, I worked hard to learn and stay current. When these rates are turned down, they will come up 10/line minimum.
Transolutions do not pay for spaces.
I used to sing the highest praises of this company, but they are s/m
sadly becoming one of many in the business who, in the end, caree nothing about the MT. I have been out of work for days! (I have 4 accounts of 90% ESL and do all work types). I am interviewing for other jobs outside of the MT world as we speak. Can't afford to sit here without work for more than a day. It has been more like a week with no work that amounts to anything.
I was told the other day that they had to hold work for one of our hospitals because that hospital has in-house union workers who needed the work!!!
Always email first, ask lowest to highest rate offered.
I bet they offer prob. 7 cents if that.
I recently emailed asking for lowest to highest line rate sm
it was toooo low 7.5
I routinely email lowest-to-highest rate offered sm
and did in April. Rate only 8 cents, to low for me.
Close, but not quite.

All I have to do is close it out.

Sure you do, if you don't have a close friendship with
Don't be fooled. It has been said here before that the office staff are all pretty much related in one way or another, and they are. So why couldn't those working at home be close friends and relatives too?
pretty close to DQS
a little different
If they were very close friends, yes I would let them know. sm
However, I would be very tactful in doing so. Maybe give them a hint to start looking for another company or job that you have some inside information...etc. If they don't get the hint, then just tell them.
Chances are the company may know this is coming and didn't tell the MTs. Most companies know when their contracts are up for bid or they are given 30-90 day notice the hospital dropping them. So, if the owners of the company do not have the common courtesy to let their MTs know, shame on them! It happens all the time in the corporate world.
Little bit of advice - do not get into gossipy detail, he said, she said. Just do it with diplomacy.
Good luck whatever you decide.
this will never come close to mtjbs. n/m

October is close enough
You don't have to be to the letter, to the day, to the exact moment. It's October in 3 months. Four years and 9 months is just as good as five years.
they are based close to me

I doubt it.....Not even close

fat cat may be close to retirement sm
but she still has some humanity about her! Probably why she still has a job so close to retirement.
Not all companies have the attitudes that you post. In this business, there is absolutely no call for that kind of attitude. The companies can cover their butts. Half of them don't have work anyway.
I have been through exactly what the poster posted and I told MQ to stick it after 23 years. Have not had a problem getting a job and have been upfront and honest about the situation I found myself in.
When an employer calls someone at hospice and starts ragging on them, knowing full well there is no work to do the 8 HOURS I WAS SCHEDULED PER WEEK, then its time to get out. I did and never looked back. Probably was the boost I needed to get out of that place.
I applaud the OP for doing what she did. Family comes before any doggone job. She won't have a problem geting UE either. She applied for FMLA, they denied her, what else can she do? FMLA is there for situations just like this.
I don't blame her for telling the higher-ups. I would have let them know too before I left that place and never looked back.
Wish I knew waht place it was!
It should be getting close to the time where
this conversation disappears off the board. Did anyone ever notice when we start discussing line counts at a CERTAIN company the conversation disappears - poof, like it never existed.
I've been noticing the same problems, and I think I work at the same place as all of you. I have also noticed that my own formula for adding lines up using the word count, which I usually took the count in word and divided by 1.123, and it equalled out pretty darn close to the other count. Now that doesn't add up anymore. Wow, something is definitely wrong with this place. I think it's time to jump overboard for me.
Not even close - laughing
I am just one who has been trying to offer 'food for thought' posts, that's all.
Only 20 years of exp. here, but that's close enough,
right?
I worked for them for about a year. It was an okay experience. I had a surgery center account which was small and just about the perfect amount of work for an 8-hour day, plus it was M-F 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. I didn't like it that my primary was somebody else's secondary, so sometimes I would get kicked to my secondary because somebody else was on my primary and it wasn't big enough to share. My secondary account was slim pickins so I usually actually got kicked straight to my tertiary, which they PROMISED would NEVER run out of work, but of course it did, sometimes for days at a time. The one thing that bothers me most is running out of work. I get really nervous about that. Add to that the new e-mails about transitioning to VR and I said I'm outta here. I just wasn't interested at the time in doing that.
Maybe I should have stayed and my account would have been safe from VR - I don't know. I just didn't want to have to worry about it. All in all, other than the fact that they don't seem to offer more than 8 cpl, they were an okay company. Not horrible, not wonderful. Mine was a Diskriter account, not a hospital employee account, which are two entirely different things.
Oh yeah, the QA for my account was an absolute ditz. I wasn't impressed with her AT ALL.
How many MTs?? Not even close to 400 unless you are counting your offshore MTs.
Tell everyone how many MTs and QA Specialists you lost in one months' time.
Do you see this as coming very close to Spheris. Is this what this is all about.
:
Nope, close but no cigar.
Spheris purchased Avicis (formerly HealthScribe) but not Acusis.
Archaic doesn't even come close.

Although I am not in management, I work close with them. sm
They do not offshore. If you have experience, negotitate your line rate. You will get very close to what you want if you are good.
They do work with new MTs, which I think is a great thing for them. Everyone needs someplace to get the experience.
If I had to say one negative thing about them it is this... they are pretty strict on the schedule you set for yourself.
They do offer 2nd and 3rd shift differential. There is also a weekend differential. They do offer further bonuses from time to time.
I personally like their software since it is integrated with Word. It is very easy to use and easy to learn.
Although I am full time, I cannot elaborate on their benefits. I know they have medical, but no dental or vision as far as I know. However, my spouse carries the insurance so that was never an issue for me.
I hope this helps. I know a lot of people do not like Softscript. I can say if you would have asked me 1-1/2 years ago, I probably would have agreed with them, but there have been a lot of changes and they really are for the better of the employee not just the company.
Guess didn't look close enough
Didn't put 2 and 2 together (Jennifer Poole and RC Transcription). So right. We deserve more than 5 cpl. What a rip! Case closed:(
oops supposed to be close - sorry, just got up
x
I was offered a position but was not even close
to what I make per line, especially since I just got my 2nd raise!!!! WOOHOO.
I have never run out of work at Keystrokes, nor have I come close
I have 2 ER accounts, and they both keep me very busy. It is true that they make sure that everyone working there has enough work before they will hire more people. That's why I love them so much.
Nothing to worry about there, they pay for it, you do it at a clinic close to you.
Pee in a cup, blah blah, no big deal. Good gig if you can get it.
Not even close. They only have temporary work right now. nm

I'm pretty close - about 12-13K/month.
