others do when faced with no work.  Do you ask management for more accounts?  Do you just ride it out and hope that indeed new accounts sign on and you can make a living before the wolf gets too close to the door?  Do you go and look for another job (or 2) to supplement your income and then work like crazy when things pick up?  In a perfect world, I suppose I would have a nice little nest egg built up and could just enjoy the lull times, but unfortunately that is not the case, and I was just curious as to how others handle it.  I do not have a husband to fall back on as a secondary source of income/support, so it can get kind of scary at times.  My instinct tells me to just work another job or two.  I may not have a life, but at least I will not be on the street. 

Thanks for your input.

I saw a post in the archives signed by TransTech Medical Solutions about Heartland buying or selling a company. I just wondered if TransTech was connected to Heartland.

a job on here today...HIP or Health Information Partners. I didn't find much in the archives about them but what I found was favorable. I have been employee status my whole life but with the new Medquist pay scales this year, my paychecks took a big nosedive. I think I am only going to apply to companies that have IC status even though I'm somewhat afraid of doing that. I just need bigger paychecks and more flexibility with scheduling and I'm hoping if I do get hired as an IC somewhere, I will learn to really like it and earn more money!!

30 hours a week to be FT with benefits.  Does anyone remember the name of that company?

Thanks so much.

Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website.  However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

The service owner fees are posted in a UnionNow post (below), but here they are again:

SERVICE OWNERS CHARGE:

$0.115 - $0.25 per line for full transcription of acute care on 24/7 accounts

$2.75 - $7.65 per report for full transcription of pathology, lab, specialty operative notes, plain film and interventional radiology

$0.097 - $0.125 per line for VR editing

OF THAT MONEY, MTs ARE RECEIVING

$0.85 - $1.25 per report full transcription

$0.06 - $0.115 per line full transcription

$0.035 - $0.06 per line for VR editing

AS OUR PRODUCTION BRINGS THE MONEY IN, WE DESERVE A LARGER CHUNK OF THE PROFITS - OFFICE STAFF CAN BE TRIMMED INSTEAD OF THE PRODUCTION STAFF.  IF A RECEPTIONIST MISSES A DAY OF WORK, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THE PHONE IN HER PLACE.  IF AN MT NEEDS A DAY OR SO OFF, PATIENT CARE CAN SUFFER BECAUSE AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF A HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAVAILABLE.

WE ARE STILL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE HEALTH CARE PICTURE.  DO NOT SELL YOURSELVES SHORT.

IF YOU ARE AGAINST UNIONS OR INITIATIVES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT BEG THAT YOU RESEARCH, SPEAK TO OTHERS, EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT WORKERS UNITED.  WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE HERE; THEY'VE TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM US. 

WE PROPOSE:

$1.25 PER REPORT TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs

$0.10 PER LINE TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs

$0.075 PER VR LINE EDITED IN THE U.S.A. BY U.S. MTs

So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information.  If you're that unhappy why do you stay?  Why not leave before the packet arrives?  Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory. 

How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on?  How many of you work the required hours?  How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT?  My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.

Give MQ the benefit of the doubt.  I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.

another expander?  And if you use Bayscribe, do you use the Quick Bar?   I keep going back and forth.  I have ShortHand and Smartype of my own.  I've tried all different combinations of using them and can't seem to find the right combination.  What I like about Shorthand is that a box pops up to tell me/remind me what is going to play out when I put in a certain shortcut.  The Bayscribe Expander doesn't, unless you are using the Quickbar.  But then when I use the Quickbar I have trouble with it expanding stuff I don't intend to expand, especially when I putting in the header stuff.  But a plus for Quickbar is that is expands instantaneously and I have found Shorthand to hesitate slightly and sometimes by that time I have gone on typing and it will do weird things like capiltalize a letter in the middle if I have pushed the caps key or whatever as I continue typing.

What works for the rest of you?

Does anyone know anything about a company called ATSI (american transcription solutions, inc.) also known as MT World? Just wanted some info on this company (the good, bad, and the ugly).   Thanks

Are you considered an employee or IC with them?
