It all depends on which division you work for...
I worked for several during my time there, and there were all different.
Depends on which division..... sm
I currently work for 2 different divisions of MD-IT, and they are both kind of slow right now. I have only worked for them for a few months.
That means they do outsource. One division is here and one division overseas,
what division did you work at? nm
Can I ask which division you work for? sm
I may also be in the process of moving on after the nasty email I and all the other MTs received from the director.
I work with MD-IT Louisville Division, very happy-sm
I started working for MD-IT in October and it has been a fabulous fit for me! I work in the Louisville Division, there are several others. The work is steady, sometimes overwhelming, but manageable, at least in my accounts. They try not to overstaff the accounts. MD-IT share their transcriptionists across the board and if your primary and secondary run out, they can find you work elsewhere rather quickly. The people are wonderful to work with and friendly. Pay is average, but it is fine for me. There is very little ESL, and what ESL there is is fairly easy to understand. Your coordinator is just an IM message or a phone call away and very helpful. I hope this helps.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

which division? sm
Each one is different.
MD-IT Louisville Division
If you currently work for this division, please email me. I'd like to talk to other MTs about the current situation there. Thanks!
Ahh, yes, I worked for that division too...
they were not the greatest.
That's true. Sorry you had a bad experience. My division...sm
is in TX and it has been pretty smooth up until this point.
SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
To what office/division to you file the report?
If it is, in fact, anonymous, can you tell me how to do this? I'm currently working for a company that has me WAY outside the bounds of IC and I'm about a hair away from completely fed up.
I looked around the IRS website for a bit, but didn't see where to do this.
Help?
Depends who you work for (sm)
I worked for an owner that was very controlling and I suppose if you lived on a farm you would be happy with the pay. I might get flamed for this, but there is a big difference in what you pay for rent.
Maybe you should try finding your own doctors? Just a suggestion. 
depends on who you work for
With one company I am with you see how many jobs are in the queue at any time. Normally it should be over 150 at the beginning of the day but some days it just isn't. We can only take a set number at a time but I see people take them out of order so they can get the easier dictators, etc., so they get more of the jobs. If I see there are few jobs I do only a certain number and then quit. You get to know the patterns of how people work. We have some people who work later than I do so I would want something left for those people. I guess looking at this board I am old fashioned that way, but I still believe in caring about other people.
Depends who you work for - sm
my boss just canned someone (domestic) because she just would not learn anything. We would tell her time and time again the mistakes she was making, and she'd do it right for a few days then go right back to doing it wrong. Very frustrating. She was finally canned when the hospital personally requested she be removed from the account, and after numerous complaints from the two of us checking her work. She repeatedly said she did not understand why she was fired, though it was spelled out to her quite clearly. So between her lack of ability to do her work right, and on time (was out of TAT a lot) she dug her own hole eventually. I think MTSOs don't want to fire someone because it is such an ordeal to hire, train, etc, and hope they get a good MT who can just jump in and do good work without a lot of hand-holding.
Really depends on who you work for
My company was wonderful. Then they were bought by a big offshoring company. For the last two years, I hated my job but I stayed for the PTO of 32 days per year. I was layed off when my account was sent overseas. With the EMR and other changes that have occurred, I seriously wanted out of the business because I no longer considered this secure work. However, I live in a very small town and jobs are very limited. We have a college, hospital, and of course the state offices. You may have to wait 6 months for an opening.
I was hired by a smaller company who does not offshore, doing a specialty I love, and the pay was more than I have made in the last 9 years. No weekends, nights, or holidays!! I could not believe it. This is very hard to come by and it just fell in my lap. I absolutely love this. However, I do have to keep in mind this is still not a secure business. This client could leave tomorrow for a cheaper rate, to offshore, or heavy EMR. So if you want to get back into the MT business, I would say do not take a job just to be an MT again. There are a lot of negative things going on in the business right now. If you can, wait until something comes along that is perfect for you and that will make you happy. Most importantly - have money saved in case you do lose your account/job. They do not give you notice. I am happy for now.
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?
Any information on this company is greatly appreciated.

I believe it depends on what platform u work on. I work on
Extext and I love it!!!!! I have not transcribed even part time in years. First night in less than 2 hours hit 300+ lines. Second night a little over 2 hours hit 350+ lines. This is all learning a new system so I find it interesting and fun.
all depends on which company you work for
to define the line they first determine what is and is not a character. Some companies believe that a space is not a character so it is not counted as one. So, once the term character is defined, then every 65 characters would count as 1 line. This is different from a gross line that just counts the lines you see on the page.
I have plenty of work and always have. Depends on the
account, the type of transcription (clinic, HIM or radiology), etc. Keystrokes does not do is overhire. My manager told me the other day that there have been 15 new accounts since November that have started and that they have increased the number of transcriptionists accordingly.
I think everyone with Keystrokes will agree. We work for one of the few companies that has had work when this board is full of companies running out of work.
It depends who you work for - I get 8 cpl to edit VR. nm

depends on work type
If you can do mostly ops you can fly and make a tremendous amt. If you do HP con and DS it slows you down and makes typing more lucrative. VR makes money for the company by causing huge decrease in payroll costs but does not benefit the majority of MTs.
But I think it depends on which company you work for.

I've never said there isn't work, it just depends on your
account. But I'm willing to put in the time, adjust my schedule to when there may be work, etc. and have multiple accounts and still can't get lines in (and I wasn't the only one) then it doesn't matter now much OT is available on another account.
I guess it just depends on where you work
I get a yearly raise automatically after a short evaluation in the office.
Depends on the type of work
In my own experience, if it were psych I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. Anything else, it may not be cost efficient, but it may end up being better than what a lot having been getting lately with the MT/VR combos.
Major attitude issue at office payroll division...nm
I think it depends on the account. I always work Thanksgiving sm
Mem Day, Labor Day and New Year's Day and have 4th of July, Easter, Christmas Eve and Christmas off. This is what I volunteer to work, so that might be how all the accounts work. I do radiology so that is why we work holidays.
It depends on the account. I do not work weekends. nm

Work flow depends on the shift
Less work available during the day because that is when most people want to work.
Depends on your shift, work days,
I think the base pay was 8.5 but you have in addition to that shift and weekend differentials as well as you get another differential for keeping QA submissions below a certain percentage, and this line rate goes back to line 1, so you could make around 9.5 to 9.75 I believe depending on your shift.
What I liked best about TT is that you are not limited to 10 reports a day for an eternity and having to jump through hoops to get off QA. You can type as much as you like from the start because it will go to QA anyway until you are released from QA. I have not found another company like that.
Hope this helps.
Just depends on the account. I work for MDI, don't use a c-phone but also don't have Bayscrib

No it isn't. I think it depends on what work you do and your shift, but I make 9 cpl plus incent

It depends on if this is editing other MT's work or VR. If VR, that is a good rate. nm

that was union and they STILL made us work overtime, etc. Depends on where you
are. Personally, count me OUT! My experience is HORRIBLE and getting worse. I am now union free and tell everyone I know about my BAD experiences with the union! Companys do what they want anyway! When you start starving and no one will hire you because you are on strike you will get the picture
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
It depends on who is offering it, and what kind of work is available. If you posted the company sm
name, we could give more helpful advice.
It depends on your account, employee status, amount of work agreed, etc. NM

depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area

Too many variables to count. A lot depends on shift, accounts, what types of work you do. (sm)
I can be totally out of work on my 2 accounts and pull up backlog report and see some accounts have OT offered.
Every company has some employees totally satisfied with amount of work and some who run out totally.
Like I said, many, many variables to be figured in.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
Well, it depends on what you need and are looking for - sm
do you want employee status, need benefits, need equipment supplied by company or do you want IC status, your own schedule, no benefits, and a good line rate?
There are many good companies out there, and even Transcend is a good company in some MTs eyes.
What are you looking for?
4.65 to 5.10 cpl. Depends on whether you
get 55% or 60% of your base salary. You will starve to death only doing 1100 lines a day. That would be $51.15 to $56.10 a day,.
Depends.
I've talked with MTs who have said that MQ dumped them immediately upon giving notice, and they're anxious about getting on somewhere else immediately. I've talked to others who have had MQ offer them the moon and all nearby planets, with interest, to stay. I'm not talking 2 or 3 people here, but dozens. I'm not sure what the motivating factor is behind their decisions, because some of the best MTs I've seen have been ousted immediately. Go figure. Might depend on your office and the work load.
Depends
one person will tell you one thing, the next person will tell you another. I think the company I work for is THE best but then you might not agree. You kinda just have to find what works for YOU and you won't really know that until you try it.
Depends on what day it is.
I use a lot of "normals" and shortcuts. I make at least $20 per hour, that is on a regular day. I have made as much as $65 an hour. I get $15 an hour for PTO.
Well, depends
My requirement used to be 4000 lines (Foxboro office). Now I am at Columbus office and requirement is 4000+ lines, but also must work 20 hours a week, so that would put me at over 10000 lines a payperiod.
also depends
it also depends on the accounts, most of the accounts for one small MTSO do not have paragraphs, straight typing thru the complete report.
