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.

I would like to find a company that has a lot of ortho..It's my first love. Any suggestions??

I use to work there.  The dictators on my account were really good.  They use Emdat/Inscribe.  Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.

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!  

Yes it is the Transcend platform (one of them) but it's not so great.  It's terrible.  Makes working with the AIM system a cake walk! 

Enjoy it while it lasts, and please come back next month this time and let us know how you're doing because you're in for a very rude awakening.

Sits on the fence a lot....not completely honset.

This is so good that I passed it on to friends.  My attitude gets bad sometimes, and I wish it didn't, but sometimes they push you to the quick and then you sufferfor getting things off your chest.  That's not so good, is it, in this formulation.

Just a little concerned.  I have not been as dependable with my work schedule as before due to family illness.  It has been bothering me for several weeks.  I am going to talk with my supervisor.  I did not want to mention it to her, just ignore it, because I was afraid she would think that I was making excuses - but I really am not.  So, hopefully she will understand and hopefully I can show them that I can be depended on once again.  I really LIKE the company and would be very upset if I were to be let go.  I feel like this is the best place for me and things happened that I had no control over.  Does that make sense?  What would you do in a situation like that?  I hope I did the right thing.
