Since the archives are acting up, need something current on SPi from someone in the know.  Pay, work schedules, how they are to work with, etc. 

Thanks.

Are benefits as good as they sound?  How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology?  How are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies.  When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet.  She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story).  The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR.  Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post)  were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR.  Bait and switch much?

Just curious - if you had a phone interview, was the recruiter on time to call you? I had one scheduled but haven't received any contact.

Anyone else with this experience?

Feel free to e-mail me if you don't feel comfortable posting.  Thanks!

Were you hired just by submitting your resume, or was MDI advertising for help at the time?  How long between the time you sent your resume and the time they called?  Thanks.

There was a recent post on AOL about earning extra money with a second job during the recession  One of the jobs listed was medical transcription and the article stated if you can type and have excellent English skills you can do this job at home and earn extra money  --  My supervisor informed me of the link originally, then I saw it later that day  -- no wonder this profession has gone downhill :(

hi, all.  i searched the boards for recent info on softscript; latest is from august--not very postive.  they say they're interested in an RN w/ MT experience & sent the link to their test.  just want to know if anyone working for them now (or who has worked w/ them recently) has any input.

thank you!    

I noticed in past posts they said they hound you when you're not working. But they're advertising a flexible schedule right now.  Is that something new?

Any problems with getting paid?  Is the pay decent?

Do they have decent accounts or are they for the most part extremely difficult?

Is their system efficient?  I'm so tired of wasting so much time keeping logs of everything and having to type patients' names and data that I don't get paid for. 

Is the sound quality good?

Is it really all American?

Also, I saw an ad for them for $12.50/hour. It seems they are leading the charge to push down MT salaries.  

In addition, they do not pay based on experience.  My 25+ years in acute care teaching hospitals in EVERY specialty counted for nothing.

BTW, when I changed jobs, I spent exactly FIVE reports on full QA and then was turned loose, immediately meeting their daily requirements. So I think Spheris is a better fit for those with very little experience and needing heavy QA. They must pay MTs so little because they have big overhead with QA.

The last I could find in the Archives was 2005. Thanks

I looked in the archives but nothing more recent than a year ago.  Is it IC or emplyee, ad did not say and email received from them did not say.  Pay on time?  Sound quality?  Pressure from admin to do more, more, more? 

Thanks in advance -- want to do the voice file from them, but would like to know opinions first. 

Sign on bonus and a 12 hour window to get work done in.  Slightly suspicious here, what is the catch? 

if you go back aways, yikes. I am always concerned when this happens.  Raises the question of concerted effort to rehab a company's rep. Proceed with eyes open, I would say.
