Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
One of their ortho accounts (sm)
I spent more time going in and out of documents than I did transcribing on one of their ortho accounts. Nice people tho.
On the ortho accounts, about how many SM
minutes per day do you get from your doctor(s)? After you get used to account specs, is it pretty easy to get the work done in 8 hours? Also, are there a lot of ESLs, because I'm terrible with ESLs. (Are they clinic notes, op notes, consults, or all of the above?)
About what time do you get your work and when is it due back?
Are the benefits okay? How much for medical and dental for employee only? When do they start?
Thanks for your help! :o)
KS wannabe
Ortho Accounts???
Any experience with their ortho accounts? Is it easy to make lines or do you have to fill in a lot of demo info? 
Tests are only on ortho accounts. nm

How do you like working for them on the ortho accounts. How is the pay etc..
nm
With the KS ortho accounts, each doctor is assigned to an MT. sm
I have 3 doctors that I am responsible, some only have 1 if they are high volume. Easy system to use, great docs, great lead MT. Pay starts low at 0.08 but goes up after 90 days. There are no ESL on the ortho account I am on, which has around 40 doctors. The downside is the first week. The accounts are overwhelming with instructions at first, but once you have it all down, they are great!
I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
That is only for ortho and clinic, not HIM and radiology and only certain accounts. sm
I am Mon-Fri. I have not worked a weekend in 3 years with the exception of one Saturday because I took off on Monday and switched with someone.
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Phoenix Medcom-Ortho accounts..Pay, platform, etc..
How are they to work for also. Any information would be appreciated. I have 10 years of ortho experience and was thinking of applying..
Some accounts (ortho) have assigned doctors. I am sure that seniority plays a part in the process.
As a new person, you would expect to get the worst of the work, the worst shifts, etc in any other field, so why should MT be different. Rad techs start on 3rd shift, nurses move up to 1st shift, etc. The new guy never gets the best of the crop. That would not make sense.
Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah - i miss it there!
yes, IC only, clinic accounts, great co.
Is that the only option, though? How about great accounts at 10 cpl? :-) nm
Great people, IC only, low pay, easy accounts, sm
direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Great office staff, okay pay, horrible ESL's on all accounts. NM

Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm
I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned. I still find them to be the best for me. Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise).
I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work. As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there.
Good luck & I hope it works out for you.
Hourly pay, great benefits, schedule depends upon which accounts...sm
you are QAing. Solid company. Good luck!
Great office staff, okay pay, no benefits, horrible ESL all accounts...NM

Great people, difficult details on accounts to remember...nm

Any companies with Rad accounts that use
TIA
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
Why do some companies think 8 cpl is GREAT
When you are an IC. I have been offered 2 positions as an IC at 8 cpl. When asked about the pay, they have explained that I will have good accounts, but also must set a schedule. Is 8 cpl as an IC with a set schedule sound good? I have 3 years acute care experience and did not realize when my job was outsourced this was what I could look forward to making. After paying taxes, this is only around 6 cpl.
The companies think it's great because THEY sm
don't need to live on that kind of chump change.
I don't think there are any great companies sm
One of the reasons I didn't go with Webmedx was because of the low pay. I passed both tests, oral and transcription, with flying colors but was still offered a rate below 9 cents a line which is less than I make now. I do acute care and have decades of experience.
Some of the posters who aren't happy with Webmedx are current employees. There are complaints from every company. There seems to be a common theme. Low pay, low work, work going to ASR.
I don't plan to leave where I am until someone can offer more than I make now. I don't think that will ever happen. I also haven't run out of work since Christmas and even then it was only for about an hour.
The main thing Webmedx has that I was interested in is the 12 hour window. That isn't enough for me to leave where I am now.
YAY .. see there ARE great companies out there! n/m

I agree about some companies getting the accounts
quite a bit of companies gobbling each other up. Whenever there is a management change, there is also employee turnover as procedures are changed. Sometimes it is a matter of MTs not working out with one company and moving on to a better fit at another company and sometimes it is because MTs are being asked to leave because they just don't fit where they chose to go. I don't agree totally with your statement about good for MTs as while there may be jobs being offered, the industry itself is offering less to the MTs they wish to employee/retain, which also leads to dissatisfaction and increased turnover. It's an ugly cycle IMHO.
The happy MTs at the great companies
are to busy working to post on the board, that's why you see all the negative. You see I'm on here, wondering the same thing myself!
Both are great companies to work for.
xx
Well that is great! I did not realize some companies
actually pay well for this expertise! Good to know. Just wish I knew which companies... :(
Great... *** is wrong with these companies? Ugh..nm
Can I ask who you worked for previously. It may have been on one of the accounts or companies I
worked for..When I went to work for that one and ended up making $9 an hour, I was so disappointed because I figured since I was a high producer at my other job and made big money plus I had experience and needed no training on the platform I was sure I would be doing well. I am more convinced than ever that they fix the line counts. They have to or there would not be the huge difference. Of note also was that the low paying one was the easiest. The account was a walk in the park so I really thought I'd make a great living as the other job was a lot of ESL etc. Boy, was I in for a shock.
Companies that have good orthopedic accounts.
If anyone knows of those companies which offer ortho, could you please email me privately if you don't want to post on the forum. Thanks.
Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
What is the downside or upside to companies that have overflow accounts. nm
:
Pros and cons on companies with overflow accounts. nm
:
How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.
Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.
The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
Companies (not just MTSOs) have 90 days to put the money into 401k accounts. sm
It has to be done by the end of the 90 days. My husband's runs about 89 days and he is not an MT. He is a union electrician.
which companies pay fair line rate with designated accounts? nm
x
Are there any companies with accounts requiring just 24-hour turnarounds/no set schedules?nm
x
I guess I have been lucky to have worked for 3 great companies. The only problem with the 2 before
is that they both were sold to companies that were not U.S. only and I refuse to work for any company the sends work offshore.
I am happy at Keystrokes and know that others are too. I have gotten everything promised to me, even though I must admit that I do not ask for much. I just want to do my work and leave my desk when done and then get paid for what I did.
I hope you find a great company that fits your needs. It must be horrible to be burnt enough times that you have to doubt everyone. I feel like that in my love life (divorced 3 times).
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential. Love being an MT and working at home. You???
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be. Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account. Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm
