Anybody work for PMSI? Would love to hear your experience.

Wow, I got a great job offer...
A nurse I've known for years started her own business as a consultant for attorneys and is swamped, so she no longer wants to transcribe these 15-25 page (single space) reports herself.  She called and asked me to work for her and she is paying me $30 an hour! :-)  And she's a great, easy dictator!!
They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
Great company with good rate offer
nice people in the management too.
Because I was curious because of the hoopla! That's why.
I don't need the job. I have 2 jobs. Were you looking? This is a public board and I have a right to post an opinion if I so choose. I see ridiculous and things that I feel are not right, I will say something. Yes, I read the boards about once a week. Some issues I may be able to assist on. Some I may not. Others I will offer an opinion, but on most, I just pass on by and do what I have to do to have a full life. Have a nice evening.
Oh goody another TT recruiting hoopla!!
This is what I saw right around Xmas about these amex checks along with other positive yeays and hoorays for this company. Thought it all sounded too good to be true but I was optimistic Long story short, went to work for them based on this BS, it was too good to be true.
So, after all of the hoopla about JLG paychecks being late, sm

are current employees satisfied with the outcome/explanation/etc.?  More importantly, would you recommend that someone take a job with this company?  I always heard good things about them in the past, but that was a long time ago. 



Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm

It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage.  Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.


 


Good luck!  


I guess I see things differently, as I do not know what all of the hoopla is about not paying OT. sm

And Keystrokes is not the only company that doesn't pay OT.  Transtech doesn't pay for it either, although they encouraged it when I was there.  I was actually chastised once for putting down my real hours on my time sheet, telling me that I know better.  However, it didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now as I am just grateful to be able to work as much as I want to get the line count that I want/need.  It is not slave labor -- no one forces me to work the extra hours.  I do so of my own free will. 


I have had some health issues and other things, and my line count with Keystrokes has been awful, yet they have been patient and caring, and I am grateful to be working for them.   I realize I will probably get flamed, but that's okay.  My opinion is just as valid as anyone else's, and I decided to speak up in favor of a company that has been good to me. 


You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.

You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!

That is my last word to you!

I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM
.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
Web site is www.mditrans.net.  If you need anymore info, feel free to ask. 
They do offer OT if work is out of TAT
/
Maybe since work is low they should offer some incentives..sm

Maybe offer more on their line rate.  Maybe that would keep people around since nobody can get their line counts in.  I am barely making it.  My house payment is 2 behind, my bills are behind....Just because I am TRYING to have faith in them and hope things will turn around.  I like the company and 95% of the people, but it is really getting hard - too hard to live with these little paydays.  I just hope something turns around fast.  Maybe the ones that really don't have faith in them will leave and there will be more work for the ones that have the faith. 


I am getting frustrated but I am hanging in there....


If they offer it in your area it should work. I have
mine through Time Warner, which is the only cable provider in my area.  I know others who have it through Comcast. 
job offer with spheris, anyone work for them?

they want me 2nd shift, 50% VR and 50% transcription so they say.


Any good things about this company?  anyone?


PMSI?
Does anyone work here or have any information on this company? Thanks.
pmsi
PMSI has held their head high and deservedly so.  Please don't judge this wonderful company based on one person's negativity.   
PMSI
Thank you for your positive comments. I am the one they said the negative and untrue things about, however, I did not do the original post. I was just accused of doing so and terminated for supposedly doing so. I really wish whoever did that original post would own up to it and stop all the negativity. I want to just move on with life.
PMSI
However, they attacked an innocent person. I DID NOT DO THE ORIGINAL POSTING, yet they attacked me. I was unhappy with some rude comments made to me by one of the owners and told her personally so she then assumed I was a total idiot and would publicly post garbage. She has every right to post her rebuttle, but to publicly say nasty and untrue things about me was improper.
PMSI

You know, it's amazing that you would say you did not have doctors' addresses.  With the plethora of information we are given, it is rare indeed that one has to leave a blank for a doctor's address. 


PMSI
Does anyone know anything about this co?  Thanks
Anyone know about PMSI??
What is the word on this company?
PMSI
They only have IC status and the pay is 8 cpl. 
PMSI
I have worked for PMSI as a radiology Transcriptionist for almost three years and I think they are great.  The owners are former transcriptionists who understand what we are going through.  They are very understanding about family emergencies, and they actually believe that their employees have lives outside of transcribing.  I  worked for a large national company and two small locally owned companies  before I came to PMSI, but PMSI is by far the best of the bunch.
Anyone know anything about PMSI? sm
I am going to test with them and I want to know if anyone has anything good or bad to say about them.  TIA.
PMSI

Ugh! They are rude!


Does WMX hire PT and/or offer clinic work? nm
s
The can't "tell" you when you have to work, but they can offer a job for hours when they ne
It's up to you whether to accept a job when they need someone to type from 3 to 11 pm, for example. If this is when they need coverage, they can hire an IC for that, if you don't want/can't work those hours, nobody says you have to take the job.

How would any MTSO/company be sure to get all the work done if everyone working for them could just work any time they felt like it?
Looking for info on PMSI..

Cannot view the archives at present


PMSI anyone hear of them? SM
Just wondering if anyone knows how long they have been in existence - website does not say - anyone know what website you can go to for that information?  Thank you.
Have you heard from PMSI yet? sm
I haven't heard from them yet and I am starting to get a little antsy.  You can e-mail me if you want.  Thanks!
PMSI Test

What kind of equipment (if any) does one need to take the PMSI test? It is a written test or transcription test?


Thanks


To the person who just tested with PMSI, how did it go? nm
xx
I tested for PMSI over the weekend, but SM

haven't heard anything yet.  The person who contacted me seemed really nice.  If the test is indicative of their work, I think I'd really enjoy it.


Has anyone else heard how well they did on the test?


Does anyone know if it is IC work or do they have employee status too?


I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll get back to me.


Just Me


JustMe - Have you heard from PMSI yet? sm
I haven't heard from them and I'm starting to get antsy.  Let me know if you have heard from them, you can e-mail me if you want.  Thanks.
Have any of you heard back from PMSI? I'm also having a bit of a

The only time I work OT, they offer 1-1/2 times my line rate which is OT pay IMO. sm
I rarely, rarely work OT though as I have kids in sports and a husband who works strange hours.
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible.  Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be.  Communication is great, QA is great.  The platform is extremely easy.  There's plenty of work to go around and then some. 
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

10 cpl? That's great. And I'd rather have too much work...sm
than to run out of work.  I'd gladly work weekends to make 10 CPL.
It's great you are doing so well. Are you doing all work
nm
I work there now and they are great. sm
Pay is always accurate, on time thru direct deposit. Emdat is a little strange to get used to, but not that bad. I think they'd like 300 lines a day minimum, but you need to check on that. Its 150 LPH required though. Hours are flexible as long as you tell them what you want and stick to it. They are wonderful ladies and I'd never leave if I didn't have to due to tax issues in my state. Give them a try.
And they are GREAT to work for! nm

No, she is GREAT to work for...sm
GREAT dictators, but just not enough work, unfortunately.
Great place to work!
I came to Phoenix after having worked at the 2 large nationals over the past 4 years. I'm SO glad! The do not pay for spaces but the headers/footers more than make up for that. The work is steady, same account (or accounts) and never runs out. The staff are great to work with, helpful and very thoughtful. Great place to work!
Great company to work for...
Spheris is a terrific company to work for. They NEVER run out of work. They are extremely helpful. You use their computer set up. Direct deposit. Shifts you want. Need I say more? Oh, yes, the people there are terrific.

Ex-Spheris employee - hope to go back some day.
GREAT company to work for.
Hi, I have been an employee with them for almost one year.  I have NEVER had a late pay day, it is always on time. The work is plentiful.  In fact, for several months they have been BEGGING for extra help to stay in the TAT.  They do have some difficult accounts, many that are ESL dictators,  but once you get them - you get them - and they become like second nature to you.  They have employee status if you make a certain amount of lines every two weeks or you can be IC.  They are very thoughtful and nice people.  I don't believe they offshore, not 100% sure though.  I am happy to have found my home after two other internet company let-downs.  Hope this help.  But, really, you cannot go wrong with FutureNet.  And, their platform is the best!  Easy to work without putting in a lot of time for the demographics, etc.
