Get out of town!!Wow how wonderful! I will look you up there.
I am wiseoldowl2000 and have been on there since 1992, though my exhusband had been on since 2000. The night my son was born he overbid on something he already had he was so excited. But I was not yet in the E=bay world. I will definitely look you up. We should have an e bay board here, I don't know about anyone else, but I am more addicted to e bay than I am transcribing! LOL. :)
I do VR for a hospital in my town
My company in another state does work for the hospital. I know the head person over transcription at the hospital and there is absolutely no way this manager at the hospital lets just anything fly through. She has all power and you better believe if you don’t do a decent job, your job is not there. From the company we get memos from the hospital about this or that. I am glad to be on VR and I range in line count on VR anywhere from the high 400s to 700s per hour. I also have intermixed with that straight sometimes.
Town Cryer
Totally agree with you. Just typed a report, pt w/brain glioma, needed surgery but had to postpone because her OUP (out-of-pocket) after insurance kicked in over $100k.
Not ALL work will be offshore. We need better schooling and job placement policies to keep more MT jobs here in good 'ol USA.
Go to the library in your local town. I do.

Webmedx town hall mtg ?? (sm)
This upcoming one is the first I have heard of since I came on board (about 3 months ago). Used to work for MQ and these were often a prelude to us getting s*&^*^d. Please tell me this is just an informative type how-do-you-do thing. So far everything about this company has been great, I just have recurring nightmares about the past couple of years I spent with MQ. Thanks.
town hall meeting
I agree. This is very much a listening meeting, basically a pep rally about how great Webmedx is and how they put the employees first. Unfortunately this is not the case demonstrated by the amount of posts here and the lack of work for those of us who have given so much to this company. Now we sit with nary a thing to do.
In our town, we have a little local pharmacy or many
I tried to stick with my little local pharmacy, but started having problem with insurance issues, which miraculously didn't happen at CVS. Something about CareMark is my insurer for meds. So, I switched to CVS primarily due to these glitchy insurance problems with my scrips. All went well for a month or two, though I felt bad ditching the little local guy. Well, then I started having all sorts of medication errors from CVS - wrong med being given in my bag, wrong dosing, etc. When I started complaining, I realized that CVS and CareMark are basically one and the same - another mass merger thing. So, I believe that CareMark deliberately gave me problems when I used anyone but CVS, and it turns out it was true. I have gone back to my local pharmacy, and he confirmed what I thought had been happening. Its like conspiracy theories everywhere these days. He said he couldn't say a word, though, as he had been threatened by lawyers not to make the connection for people - we had to figure it out on our own. Well, me with my big mouth, I'm telling everyone I know!! LOL. So, no, not impressed with CVS either, and no, they don't care about their mistakes - locally or corporate. We're all humans, after all, though some have jobs that could kill fellow humans. LOL.
The hospital in the town where my daughter
goes to college sends their x-rays to Australia to be read.
I live in a very small town that won't allow chain-
.
small town dweller too, but my thinking has
oh yeah, when I first came out of the hospital systems, started seriously working in a remote way, I saw many posts about shipping our jobs overseas, and esp as regards to MQ doing so. But I thought, hey, they treat me well, pay me decent, give me benefits and I wasn't feeling impacted by this. Over time, observing the world around me vis networking, I began to see the picture differently. It became acutely different when MQ started removing more and more benefits and emphasizing our ILPs (international labor partners) and all the propaganda that came with it. I moved on to MDI and thought I'd be happy the rest of my MTing days. They made promises they have already broken, and I see the same pattern evolving. You can sit in your small town thinking, and I mean this in the metaphorical sense, and deny that there is anything wrong with it. But down the road when it bites you in the behind, and shakes your world, and in the larger sense, when more and more people in the once great USofA are unemployed and the backs of the middle class are hunched over from trying to bear that financial burden of putting so many on the public rolls, YOU TOO may begin to see the damage of shipping work overseas. Not to mention your wages going DOWN to keep your employer competitive.... It WILL eventually touch you too, or your kids or your grandkids, but in some way WILL reach you too.
what town are you in? if you don't want to be that specific then maybe county/state info

Just got an E-mail about a Webmedx town hall meeting
Town hall conference call was very impressive. sm
I'm glad to be working for Webmedx.
I think there are more than one company named that. nm

company named IDS...
Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS? Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc. Thanks very much for any info.
There is a poster named Jai
that works for them, and she posted something not too long ago about them that she likes it. I think she is the one though that has a lot of questions on the word board, so if she is doing word for word, they must have a lot of ESLs or something.
company named LTS
Can anyone tell me anything about a company named LTS? Thanks
Aptly named.
Wrong! Minimizing, mind reading, name calling. Assuming.
Anyone know of a company named
Any information, good or bad? Thanks very much.
12/cpl, hsi, no travel time, no paper/products. Small town.

Small town Missouri girl very happy at Transcend
I’ve been sitting here in my little corner of Missouri wondering if I could diplomatically address any of your concerns. At first I was compelled to simply set the record straight and now I’m just compelled to show my support not only for my country…but also my company! That’s right…bold statement, huh?! No, I’m not a SUIT, (and BTW neither is Stephanie Campbell) but a humble MLS who was promoted to a TL (Team Leader) and now again to a QAS within MY company. You see, Transcend loves their MLS and treats them with the respect and the recognition they deserve. If you want to excel in this industry, Transcend is the only company you should be looking at. Oh, and by the way, I had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta and meet some of the SUITS of the company and they’re just like me…patriotic, family-loving, hard-working everyday human beings. AND they care about my opinion; what works for my region and why other things don’t!
I worked for a large hospital facility in Nebraska before coming to Transcend and loved it dearly, but honestly technology-wise I didn’t realize how far behind they were. Since being with Transcend I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how they continually upgrade, enhance and automate processes for their MLS; always trying to make things easier and time efficient for their employees. Who wouldn’t want to be on the leading edge of technology in our industry?
As for sending work overseas…. Transcend does in fact outsource on occasion a very small percentage of it’s volume, but only when there are gaps in turnaround time coverage and ONLY when the customer approves it. If there are American MLS willing and able to take some of that work from overseas workers, we are more than happy to provide it to them. That’s why we need your help to keep this company going strong as an AMERICAN company. Every single day I’m thankful for my job with Transcend and have grown to love the tight-knit family I work with. Each day we talk and keep each other inspired! We cover for each other in time of crisis and give each other a pep talk when we need it. I can confidently say that my life has changed for the better since I came on board. I really do love it. Transcend is where it’s at if you want to work at home.
Me in my little corner of Missouri will get off my soap box and let you ponder this: Perhaps if a small town girl from Missouri can make a CAREER with Transcend maybe you can too?! The possibilities with Transcend are out there, attainable….you just have to reach for it!
I am in exactly the same boat, 10 miles from small rural town, don't know any local
MTs even after 12 years in this community. I need to find something with decent pay and the same kind of flexible scheduling. I too had planned to stay with MDI through retirement and this has really thrown me for a loop. I would just look for a new career right now if not for the fact my kids are still young enough that I would like to still be at home/available, especially when one has a chronic illness and his needs can change on a dime.
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
bet if she named the co she would no longer be a recruiter for them.
Some things you have to look at twice because you really don't believe what you read
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
I'm looking for information about the company named DSG. nm
nm
I do not believe any names were named or any co was mentioned. I only know what I was thinking and
only the incident. I would not name a co. That's not me.
Wrong about making assumptions though. We all do it. There is a big difference in making an assumption and actually naming a co which I did not do.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.
Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange? I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before. They mentioned the hospital name, town and state.
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay well? Thanks very much.
About as funny as a Clinic in California named Ole'
Didn't they get wiped out by the Mexicans?
*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM

Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...
Am I missing something?
Just got an E-mail about a Webmedx town hall meeting coming up. Those are NEVER good news. FYI.
I predict they will announce that, due to tough economic times, they will cut the VR rate. You know it is going to happen.
I saw the MQ Hawaii vacation winner was someone named Lori G. (sm)
congratulations to her. I, of course, am jealous though.
My sister's cat is named Pubert - or Pube for short...
I really DO have odd sisters, don't I? BTW - my really cheap Big Sister did manage to buy me a decent gift - the Beatles 1 CD. Unfortunately, she got me the same thing last year...ARGH
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
We also say 'Ford trucks' named after Henry Ford. Makes sense to me.
//
It is also Graves disease, named after Robert J. Graves.
nm
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
