Who is LK -- know TT did send some work to another service, but

In Reply to:

but please let me know what you are saying because we TT'ers are very interested in what you are saying to us all -- I just know there is something very wrong with my line count.  I have been doing this too long to not know how many lines I can get.  I cannot put my finger on the problem -- I just know it does fall in my lap. 


This is really disturbing to me.

    Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
    well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
    There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
    df
    How many of you actually work for more than one service
    and would you recommend doing so to others? I am very seriously considering working for two separate MTSOs PT. One would be day shift and the other evenings. I am wondering if others do this and find that they have better paychecks than when working for one MTSO full-time.
    anyone work for D&L Typing Service?

    Do they seem to have alot of accounts?  Is pay still low?


    anyone work for D&L Typing Service lately?
    Looking for new info on this company.  They had recent adds
    If you work for a service, you are more likely to have all the specialties; however,
    If an MT has for example only worked in house or for one hospital their specialties might be more limited. For instance, my first in-house job was for a hospital that specialized in high-risk OB and ortho, but the cardiology procedures and neurosurgeries were done at a sister hospital.

    Now that I have worked for a service, there isn't a specialty in the hospital setting I haven't done.

    Another thought - maybe, just maybe they are trying to match MTs up with the specialties they like best, not just have knowledge of - Now wouldn't THAT be a plus!

    Just curious, do you work for a service? SM
    I would love a 12-hour window of time.
    Um, who said I worked for SS? I work for no service.

    I've gotten out of the MT service ghetto.  I work for a hospital.  And guess what...


    There are rude people here too ----> GASP! 


    Maybe I should quit my $18 an hour, 800 line minimum requirement with 0.06 cpl incentive for anything over 1000 lines a day, awesome health and dental benefits, work at home job because I shouldn't have to deal with rude people, should I?


    Don't work for a service who offshores. Let them find someone else
    nm
    So all MTs that work for a large service are bad MTs compared to those sm
    that work for a smaller company? That could not be further from the truth. Some of the larger companies can attract better MTs with benefits, higher pay, etc than a smaller company ever can.

    I think it depends on the MTs, not the service, as to the quality of the work.

    I work for one of the companies the OP mentioned and the QA standards are MUCH more strict than smaller companies I have worked for in the past.

    Talking about the ones who say you cannot work for another national MT service. nm

    I work for MedQuest, a radiology service provider--sm
    based in GA.
    Transtech DID have a service help out with their work -- I know for a fact -- about a year ago.
    How long have you been with TT?  Anyone in mgmt will tell you that they outsourced work to another service in the past.
    did you have to purchase equipment for this service to work or do they supply - nm
    x
    if they send work to someone who
    offshores then quite simply they offshore
    Viva Transcription Company out of California. Does anyone work for this service. If so,
    would you be willing to share what they pay?
    I work for Keystrokes and have never heard that you had to have digital phone service (sm)
    I used Embarq for about 3 months and made the change to digital because I got the letter from Embarq saying I was wasn't allowed to use the unlimited long distance that much.  I also switched to digital because it is cheaper and truly is unlimited long distance at the same rate every month.  I was never once told by Keystrokes that I had to have digital.  The only thing they ever told me was I had to have unlimited long distance. 
    Surgical Notes transcription service out of Texas...anyone work there?
    Do they hire employes or IC? Platform? Thanks in advance ;0
    I work there, but cannot send an email.
    How can I help you
    All I know is that they send work overseas. nm
    x
    I just called them. They are in NY but send 100% of the work
    out of the country. No thank you.
    does not send work offshore
    MedScript Services in Florida
    Does OSI send work offshore?

    If so I won't bother.  TIA


    They do not send work to Focus...sm
    or get work from Focus. Please get your facts straight before making up stuff on these boards. If you think you can prove otherwise send me your information.
    She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
    Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will. 
    OSI does send offshore work
    nm
    do they send escription work to
    or just beyondtxt work to india? I have been on escription.. my last paycheck is barely 300 bucks (due tomorrow) as there was NEVER any work on the accounts i had
    Yes they do send work to India
    I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
    MDI does NOT send work overseas.
    x
    Do they send work offshore?
    Just wondering.
    even if they send work overseas...
    Please help me find a company to work for that has WORK and pays on time. That is all I ask at this point.
    You send the work in using their program, yes. I never ran out of work sm

    but I was just working part-time, and this was about a year ago, so things could have changed.  Isabelle and everyone seem so caring, it is hard to believe that they would consistently have MTs without work, but that seems to be a curse of the industry lately.


    Good luck to you!


    I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&
    nm
    Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!
    nm
    Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.
    :
    Batch receive/send work?
    Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches?  I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time.  30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology.  I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home.  Hate this winter driving!!!
    Which nationals do not send work out of the country?

    Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.


    TIA.


    Does anybody work for SmartMed/TSI? When do they send out pay checks? TIA. nm
    nm
    Keystrokes is and will not send work out of the country. sm
    The owners feel strongly about that.
    Webmedx does NOT send work to India.
    .
    They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.
    x
    Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
    And they are proud to have these partners
    I really wonder how much cheaper it is to send work overseas. When you
    think about it, IC here gets about 4 cpl for VR and about 8 or 9 for straight typing.  Overseas they have to go through a middle man or whoever owns the services and you cant tell me they arent getting a decent cut of the cpl and paying 3 cpl or so to their people.  Just my thoughts.  I bet the cost is very close anymore to what we earn.  I see Delta is bringing its reservation call service back here from India because of all the complaints from US customers. I would expect it is the benefits here for employees that causes a problem costwise for MTs.
    They send our American work to the Philippines,
    Philippines you would not be allowed to work.  Americans cannot get jobs in the Philippines because they are saving them all for the Filipinos - don't know if we'd want them anyway but that is beside the point.  Doesn't seem fair, does it, that they can take our work away from us and we get nothing in return.
    Does Transtech send work to India? nm
    nm
    Not hiring because they send most their work to India
     
    Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm
    .
    Anyone know anything about Cbay at all in Maryland. Do they only send their work to India.
    :
    TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
     
    None of the ones on the Job Seekers board send work outside the country. They
    would not be allowed to advertise if they did.
    I have no respect for companies that send work overseas
    Don't you think we have enough people right here in the US without jobs? Instead of paying a decent wage for an MT, companies get greedy and undercut our workforce of extremely talented and hard working MTs of which a large percentage are single moms.
