Yep, it's for selling some kind of health supplements from home, like an Amway organization. nm

What would American MTs want or expect from new MT organization or union? What kind of benefits
would you all want? What kind of resources or services would you expect? How about certification exams - necessary or not? What about MT education, industry standards, etc? Would you change some of the BOS rules?
I'm curious. A fellow MT and I used to say the AAMT was lacking and recently with all the outsourcing and MTs losing jobs and the AAMT turning a blind eye, I've been thinking again that we need a organization that better defends and represents the American MT.
I feel like Norma Rae! 
Yes ago I was working for a home health
care agency and they tried to initiate EMR. This was 15 years ago and I didn't know what EMR was at the time. It was a no go. Recently had an appointment for my son with a specialist we saw for the first time. He was so busy filling in the blanks, that he barely even looked at my son and sort of having a limb missing or having green skin I don't think the doctor would have noticed any issues. If they want EMR I don't have an issue with that, but why not just have an MT transcribed document uploaded into a databank?
Can a Transolutions MT tell me what kind of health insurance they have?SM
I have the idea in my mind that it does not cover where I live, but I can't remember the name to double check Thinking of applying but I do need insurance. You may email me if you would like to. Thanks.
Trasolutions, anyone know the kind of health insurance they offer? i.e. BC/BS
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

I'm curious, hope it's not Amway LOL nm

Bad organization how? nm
nm
owner, not organization.
Well there is completeness and organization
and then there is padding. Tabbing would get you the kind of attention you are not looking for because that's not standard. Don't use unnecessary abbreviations, but don't be spelling out COPD every time, either. It's just too common and understood. But there are many abbreviations that doctors may say that they don't necessarily mean you don't spell out. I hear bili I type bili, but it changes to bilirubin. Same with lymphs, eos, etc. Find out the proper names of hospitals. They say RCH, you have your shortcut to put the real name in. Have shorcuts for bacterial names. I type ecoli and I get E. coli. But if I type ecolij, I get the whole thing. You'd want the whole thing at least once in the report - usually the first time and/or in the diagnosis. Things like that are legitimate. Even eratic dictators often follow the same physical exam, so at least have normals for those. Often the ROS also. And you could add the usual subheadings there even when not dictated without getting in trouble. There is no telling how your counter has been configured as far as how things are counted, but some day somebody might take a fine-tooth comb to your work, so I don't suggest you start spelling out three-digit numbers or anything else you can't justify. Other MTs see stuff like that and they will scream - padding. And if you get in bad habits it will be harder to change in the future. In other words, be honest but thorough.
They are supposedly a Christian organization

I would love to find another organization dedicated
to the American MT. I dropped AAMT really quick when I found what they were doing. In one of their news releases they more or less blamed American MTs for the need to go overseas to find members. They were begging for more members because of the loss of money to the organization.
In the early days, MedQuist said working at home was a benefit, therefore at-home sm
employees did not receive as many benefits as those working in-house. As I believe, it was something like at-home employees got 3 days off a year versus 10 days for the in-office employees -- WHAT?!!! I told them it made no sense to me, since by working at home I was saving them money -- no need to provide office space, equipment, references, utilities, etc. -- yet I get shafted. I was only part-time when they took over the previous company with their great policies, and I told them to kiss where I can't.
selling biz
pls email me more details about your service and clients (type of transcription), etc.
Selling MQ??
Sold to who? I don't know what you're referring to. Thanks in advance for clarifying.
Not sure who they are selling to but...sm
another national has offered us jobs with them and I don't think they are the right fit for me.
medquist selling
Has anyone out there heard anything about medquist selling the company??
Thanks for any info.
Selling business sm
Can you email me your contact info?
Thanks.
Difference in selling and just closing down
I can understand if there were legal issues regarding the sale of a company, but rumor has it that QT is just calling it quits, I would not think there would be any legal reason not to tell anyone, maybe they are just trying to prevent the MTs from leaving before the account has terminated. Still from what I read, most of the MTs would not go until the account was gone and the doors were shut, so I think it would more professional if QT told their transcriptionists what was going on.
No mention of selling, just that they won't have work for for me
xxxxxx
Never heard of them. Who are they selling to? Is MQ starting that again? nm

Watch out selling them short...
you just might find another job which you think is better, and guess what, you've made a mistake and want to go back. By then you are stressed out and sorry for second-guessing. Take advice from someone who has been there and done that. Good luck whatever you decide to do, only hoping you save yourself grief. :)
No. We use DocuScribe and have no intentions of selling to MQ. sm
They have a separate department for technology, used to be Lanier, and they keep it separate. It is the same as using WebChartMD or EmDat. We pay what we use.
So, then, you're selling your knowledge
More output for the same pay means nothing more or less than that each line of knowledge (because that's what it is) is going for a lower price.
The value of VR to the client should not be price, but time. When price is the value proposition for VR, knowledge is being offered at a discount. It is positively idiotic for MTSOs to sell VR using price as the value proposition. The appropriate value proposition is TIME because VR should permit shorter turnarounds.
The question is, do MTSO's actually charge less for lines produced by VR? I'm not sure. If they do, they're giving away the store (and forcing the knowledge workers to discount their input).
And with so many smaller MTSOs selling out
to larger MTSOs with no warning, it certainly justifies our being suspicious and expecting the worse possible outcome.
I don't know about D...her silence during this entire month-long famine has made me second-guess my opinion of many of those at MDI-MD whom I previously thought very highly of. While selling MDI-MD wouldn't make her dishonest per se, at this point it feels like she is selling out her dedicated MTs.
I was completely exasperated with her email this morning which made no mention of any of our concerns and instead acted like it was regular Happy MDI Wednesday.
The lack of acknowledgement that there is a problem on more than one account just flabbergasts me.
thinking about selling my transcription service
 and just wondering if any one has any opinion on interest in that. The person owning the company would make a minimum of $82,500 a year, running the business and doing some transcribing part time. It would be very easy to do some marketing and bring in some new accounts, which could easily push that 82500 to over 100000 a year. I have repetitive stress injury and my doctor has told me I need to find something else to do. I was thinking if there was an MT or a group of MT's (the company is incorporated so shares can be sold) that would like to get together, they can eliminate the middle man, earn retail price for their lines and establish job security, not to mention satisfaction. Price would be around $250,000 but like I said, a group of people could go together to cover that and with a little work in marketing, it could be paid off in three years. The business is about 10 years old and to the point where it is generating its own referrals. It could really go places if someone wanted to spend a little time marketing to a few new hospitals. Any one have any thoughts on this.
Proscript does not offshore - one of their selling points. nm

Speaking of selling QT to the Indian company. NM

I say be aggressive... You are selling your services and need to let them know you are confident
I just accepted a position after turning down 3 because they were not exactly what I wanted. If you are pateint and know exactly what you want, you can usually get it, (unless of course you want to transcribe for a doctor who speaks clear english, spells the hard words, talks really slow, but not too slow, and acutally realizes you are on the other side of the earphones ----- I can dream can't I??)
Politicians get money for selling us down river. How

The companies are selling America out we're

Depends if it involves selling, bothering - sm
all your friends, family, friends of friends, etc. then NO. It is is something that is done at home or in an office w/o cold calls, etc., again no selling, then yes. My neighbor got sucked into a demo of that cookware that is so great but super expensive, something in the base, forget the name, needless to say she did not get into it, it was crazy what they expected you to do and foot the bill for as well. -- Personally I hate selling and obviously do not have an apptitude or attitude for it.
This sounds like one the MTSOs who got rich from selling
their company. You need to live in the real world sometime and see what you can do without. Your beer and champagne will be gone, but so will the steaks, lobster, and even a fresh vegetable unless you grow them. Even better, try giving up some other things - aspirin, ibuprofen, kleenex, vitamins they recommend you take daily, doctors visits, dental care.
Sorry, LMAO, I never want to meet you or be around you. You are evil.
I can't paint worth a you-know-what but I'm in on that Caribbean crap selling gig ... let's

I wonder if those places ABC was talking about selling bulk identity theft...
information online with the internet could be getting the information from health records overseas. The identity theft is sold in bulk to bidders on the internet from overseas. ABC I think had a special on it but never did identify where all of this information was gleaned. Something to consider I guess
That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home. Still, business is business. I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it. I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then.
InterPro Medical...Hope this doesn't appear to be selling soul to devil.... but
I am seriously considering working for InterPro (a company owned by India that outsources). Never thought I would, but I see they have BCBS insurance which starts in 30 days of employment, and other good benefits. I am a diabetic with hypertension and paying almost $400.00 a month for Cobra health insurance, which will expire soon, thus will be left uninsured. I've tried getting individual insurance, but no one will ensure because of my health problems. Can anyone give me some specs on InterPro, i.e. current employees, etc.., or any other companies where insurance goes in effect 30 days of employment.
Keystrokes is not for sale at this time, and there are no plans for selling in the foreseeable futu
This is a rumor started by someone for absolutely no reason. There are a few companies out there who have approached Keystrokes about selling and have been turned down. A few have been very agressive and do not like to hear the word no.
The company has been growing steadily for the past 10 years and has agressive growth plans in place for the next 5 years.
If you have any questions, contact one of the owners or member of the management team directly. They will answer your questions.
This is just another example of someone trying to stir the pot.
Not every company is for sale, at any price. Although that may change in the future for the owners of Keystrokes, right now they enjoy growing the company and improving on what they have built. It will be several years before the idea of selling would be entertained.
P&G forced my sister to stop selling Mary Kay in her spare time...gotta SM!
This was years ago way before P&G even owned Revlon. It's not like my sister wore a white coat and created cosmetic formulas. She was a RECEPTIONIST!!! The Suits at P&G told her to make a choice because they didn't need an employee working for the competition...Give me a break!
BTW, the ONLY reason my sister even sold the MK was so she could get it 1/2 price.
Whatever you do on YOUR time is YOUR business!! (As long as no laws are being broken or ppl getting hurt)IMO
It's a rumor. They have growth plans, not selling plans. nm
I think they want to be bigger than Spheris, not bought by Spheris, and if they continue to grow in the next few years as in the last few years, I think they can.
You are right about the health
insurance, it is not very good.
get health ins
You can join your local chamber of commerce and get a group rate or check what your state has for the uninsured.
Entente Health?
Has anyone heard of Entente Health?
Does anyone have any information on HIP (Health
Information Partners)? Consistent work? Good platform? Anything else? Thanks in advance!!
Do you know how much your health insurance is? sm
I applied today and took the online test. I am confident I did well. I am sure, though, there are a lot of others doing the same. I was just wondering how much health insurance cost monthly. Do you get paid by the line or by the hour? Are they pretty fair?
Health Insurance
I'm also looking to Webmedx. I was wondering if you, or someone else out there, might have an idea what the cost of health insurance for family would be. Thank you!
TT health insurance
Are any of you taking out the insurance. I just started in October with the big hire, and should be eligible February 1, 2007, right? Anybody know.
I have also been curious about the PTO time accrued.
Does anyone know the new Health Ins rates?
Trying to decide
