place to work.  I wasn't working there full-time, but from what I saw, they have a nice benefit package, and the staff is very helpful and professional.  The only kinda scary part is that they require 99.5% accuracy (or maybe 99, cannot remember).  Fortunately, on my first QA thing before being released from QA, I did manage to achieve that (a little more actually), so I was relieved.  I guess I just do not have enough confidence in myself.  Unfortunately, they lost the account I was hired for, but they were looking for another one.  In the meantime, though, my personal life kind of took a different turn, and I ended up moving from Kansas to Colorado, so I decided one job was enough for now.

As for eTransPlus, they are also very friendly, although much more disorganized than some companies.  I was put off for a week and a half past the date I was hired to start, then when I did start, there were tech problems, then I did 4 jobs or so and ran out of work ... that kind of thing.  Again, when I decided to move, I just decided it was not worth the extra aggravation.  Still, I would recommend either company.

There are still some good companies out there, although I hesitate to comment since my experience is not recent.  I used to work for MDI-MD, and they paid VERY well at the time because you had to supply your own LD, and that was before the days of unlimited LD.  I had 5 accounts, so managed to keep myself busy, but now I read posts about people running out of work, so I do not really know.

I have heard good things about Axolotl, and I applied, but the only opening is 3rd shift with 80% ESLs, so I decided not to do it.  Their benefits are great, though - no deductible for BC/BS!  And there is a $500 sign-on bonus too.  Oh well ...

I talked to Acusis, and if you can overlook their heavy overseas connection, they have a nice benefit package as well.  The pay is so-so.  I guess no one ever pays me what I know I am worth. 

If you run into a company you are interested in, feel free to ask me.  I have been an MT for about 100 years now, so I might have worked for them! 

Good luck -- hope you find something wonderful.

I also am very happy with my employment at OSi.  I think it is a great company, one that listens to the needs of their employees and does their best to accomodate.  It is pitiful to read how so many bash OSi and other companies on this board and you don't even work for them.  If you have in the past and have found employment elsewhere, move on and knock off the infernal complaints.  If you are employed with the company you are complaining about, then find a new job.  We don't need or want your constant bantering.  And if you are still employed here, that tells us you obviously aren't good enough to get a job elsewhere.

about the taxes and sure can't blame you there.

I hope you can reconnect and get the job with him, though.  If more docs start to realize what's happening and leave the companies that do the outsourcing, that will send a huge message to these companies.  Might also force them to treat their American employees better.

In the age of terrorism, I don't see how it CAN'T be a security issue to outsource medical transcription, especially to middle eastern countries.  Think about it.  Besides access to the obvious personal demographics of the patient, they also know which medications the patient is taking.  With the way elderly people order medications from Canada, I can just imagine an elderly person getting an ad in the mail for the medication they're on at less than half the price, order it and wind up dead.  It seems that large groups of Americans could be targeted and harmed based simply on their medical information.  (Maybe my imagination is running wild, but I never could have imagined that anyone would think to use a plane as a missile to kill a large group of people, either.)
