In Reply to: Does WMX still have a 5 hospital account - curious
I am fairly sure all their accounts still have in-house transcription departments. All mine do. The Atlanta account you mentioned started the same time as my main and always has more work than my hospital, which is an account that has almost completely dried up over the last year. STM states they are saving work for their in-house MTs.

Well, I was happy for that overflow account coming on board
It is helping out some. No, I don't work on that account, but I did put in a full shift today.
In fact, the work is picking up on the account I work on as I had a total of 3 full shifts this week. Sure feels funny to work a full shift lately. 
Entry-level work
What companies like to hire recent grads other than Focus and Encompass?
Entry-level work
Thank you!
A majority of at-home MT is overflow work with in-house getting the bulk of the work. If they clean

I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they
MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.
overflow work
I work 20 hr/wk for SPi/CyMed on radiology. They need radiology MTs for Tue-Sat schedule right now. I work Sun-Thur. I have no benefits but I'm on social security and this works gret for me as a supplement to my SS check. I've been with them 1 year this week. I'll be out for hand surgery in a few weeks and I know for sure they'll need somebody then! I also know my supervisor will work with you on scheduling. I work for the Ohio office but I live in South, hurricane alley. Yes, Katrina got me but I have bounced back! I don't know if it's OK to give out my super's phone number, but if OK with admin of site, e-mail me for info. Best regards!
It is also only p.r.n./overflow work
I left a lot of blanks as well. I'm not so sure I could strain that much. Being overflow work is tough nookies to find a rhythm as well and I wonder how spaced apart the time would be before receiving the dictation. Glad I'm not alone as even volume control and slowing down/speeding up was not really helping at all. Oh well.... only lost about 1/2 an hour all in all. 
Yes, it is all overflow - and there is not enough work for everyone! no msg

Amphion's nonpay work of data entry is discussed with every post

I also do overflow work for a clinic..
I charge 10 cpl, but I know that their other replacement charges 12 cpl. If it were a specialty clinic (mine currently is family practice and easy work), I would charge no less than 12 cpl. I'm not sure but it may also depend on where you live geographically. I live in Idaho so I'm sure since our cost of living here is fairly cheap and that would be the standard. If you live in a larger place, maybe you could easily ask for more. Just giving you my input..
I got hit with router, but they only do overflow work
and we ran out of work constantly. They play favorites big time, so the good work goes to a few people and the rest of us got the left-over garbage. The tech ruined my computer and that cost me a big bucks to get fixed.
I work for a company that does overflow and I have been
with them for 5+ years. I have never not had any work and rarely has there been a day when there weren't extra lines available. A couple of times the hospital's system has gone down and they have asked if anyone wanted a a day off, or could adjust their schedule to work different hours than usual, but I think that has only happened twice. I have a lot of dictators, though I tend to get the same 30 or so regularly.
It all depends on how the contract is setup, if they get a certain # of minutes a day, or if they just get whatever in-house can't handle.
anyone know of overflow or vacation work available?
I work 2 jobs that I love, but both of them are 2-3 times a month and average 100 minutes of dictation at a time. I rather like the nature of this work as it is given to and I usually have 2-3 days to complete it. I have lots of experience--ER, other hospital (except ops), psychiatric hospitals and offices (which I loved!), specialty clinics of all types--it's just that I really don't want to give up the 2 jobs that I already have and love, so I would like more of the same kind of thing. I thought overflow or filling in for vacations would be a good option, if I could find it. Anyone know of anything like this? I am considered an excellent Transcriptionist by all whom I've worked for.
I think it is a combo of all work being overflow and..sm
the fact that they overhire. Work has been low and slow for the past year. I have heard that some of the accts that we all heard about in that last conference call did not come on board--rumor, but other than the account that started in July to replace a lost one (and never has any work) and a clinic name I saw on the Community Pages (which a level 4 I'm sure will not be allowed to work), they have nothing new. Over the past year, they lost 2 of my accts. I have finally managed to replace them thanks to my persistence, but they are both overflow (like all of them) and low in work (like 99% of them). It just seems hard to get a PT job and still make 40 with them, but I guess we could try. Good luck.
WRONG - I work on 2 which are NOT overflow and know of 3 more sm
in my own STM group that are not.
But don't they just help other companies with overflow type work?
It seems to me that that would make the work load very unstable.
Yes, I work on solid accounts, not overflow.

Webmedx must be sending work to overflow co's as soon as...sm
regular employees start hitting overtime. The economy has an effect on the workload, I know, but not like this, not during peak flu season. Does anyone know for a fact that they are doing this? TIA
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm

I saw postings that all our work was overflow/extra support for hospitals. (sm)
Whatever happened, it has been ongoing since around the Memorial Day holiday. I too am getting worried. Christmas coming up, winter utility bills, not to mention the every day expenses we have in order to survive.
I am picking up a PT position. May be a little tired working the 2, but for right now it covers my butt.
The hospital I work just contracted to send our overflow to MDI. I've been watching as our SM
minutes slowly dwindle. Last meeting we had, we voiced our concerns about losing our work and Transcend/MDI outsourcing overseas, only to be told that administration is happy that TAT is being met and so they are going to continue to send work to MDI on a daily basis and we don't believe they are sending OUR work overseas.
My hospital is a prime account to be sent overseas, a medium-sized community hospital, three (count 'em, three) ESL who aren't hard to do at all with the resting being very good, very American dictators, easy to understand. No way would a service give this account to an American MT who could stand to make a good pay check doing this account.
I think the next step is to get rid of us all and send everything out. If that happens, that's it for me, I'm getting out of transcription all together. I know I definitely won't go to MDI for a job, like they would put me on this account where I could pull in 2000+ lines a day.
I've worked too hard all these years to be treated like my knowledge, skills, and education doesn't matter and to be paid peanuts for these skills I have worked hard to acquire, improve, and maintain.
I'm just really bummed today. My job future isn't looking too good right now. I hope I'm wrong. 
Such support! What a community of MTs.
I have been in this business for 20+ years and wasn't confident in answering, as I'm not really sure myself. Feel good insulting people? Have a nice day.
go to the community page sm
to the part that says request help, click on that, fill out the information and select out of work and submit it. They will find you some other work.
Community page sm
Community Page, Human Resource tab at the top, then it is a link on the left.
It shows they know the MT community is onto
less-than-ethical business and employment practices. They want to shut you and all of us up so that we'll go back to our bedrooms and our pink fuzzy slippers, and just keep quietly getting screwed by them. It word were to get out, (say on Oprah perhaps?) they'll all have a LOT of 'splainin' to do. I for one would enjoy watching them all squirm.
that's exactly what i am talking about, you are an embarASSment to the MT community

I graduated from a community college, but
my first job was not at a National. I got a job at a hospital first, then after two years was hired by MQ. If you can get experience, I think it's easier to get on with Nationals. It is probably possible without experience, though. I would just give it a try.
Webmedx announcement on Community Page
Has anyone been able to listen to the announcement on the Community Page? I can't get it to open. Good news or bad?
WMX'ers, can you access the Community Page? sm
It will not let me access it, although it did last night. I just wanted to check with y'all before contacting someone at the company. Thanks!
Did you notice on our community page new hires May/June - I think there were 19 or 20 of them. (sm)
Nothing against the new hires, but from our point of view it stinks to hire new people while many of us are/were scrapping for work.
entry level
any 1 know of entry level MT jobs in centrl txs or at hme..???
Entry level
Has anyone received a response from the entry level position on a pediatric account with Medtransolutions?
entry level
I'm thinking about getting my MT certificate and need some advice. Is it hard to find work as an entry level mt? Also, does it matter where I get my certificate (at home or reg classroom)? Do most companies have set hours or do you work when you want? I'm really excited about this new career! Any advise?
Why entry level only?
I see where World Wide Dictation is looking for entry level transcriptionists to do non-medical work.....insurance claims, paying up to 9.5 cpl. Why only entry level? If it's such simple work, why not let anyone in who is willing to do it for the amount offered?
MT entry level?
Lately I have read where companies offering you an MT position and then say you have an opportunity for advancement. This really ticks me off!! I Love being an MT, have always felt that an Acute Care/Hospital Medical Transcriptionist was at the top. I personally would not want a QA or administration position and certainly do not feel I would be making a move up…at the absolute least it would be just a different move.
The only thing I do not like about being an MT is that most companies don't give raises if you get paid per line or are an IC. I have been doing this for 12+ years and companies want to pay the same rates per line as 12 years ago. The only way to make more money is to type faster and/or more hours. They have forget about the cost of living that keeps going up.
Just how EZ is it to get off of the DI entry acct
Does anyone ever hire entry level MT?
Hi all, I was wondering if there is any company out there hiring for entry level MTs. I have the Medical background and the typing skills. I'm a fast learner and looking to work at home as an MT. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

data entry companies
Wondering if anyone knows of some data entry positions and if so where can I go to find work from home.
Webmedx-Entry level?
Does Webmedx ever hire entry-level MTs? Anyone gotten hired with less than the 2 years experienced required? I have about 6 months acute care. Is Webmedx one of the companies that will wave this experience for an MT from one of the AAMT-approved schools?
Does anyone do any data entry from home?
Just curious. I would like to cut down to part time doing MT work and do some part time data entry!!!!
Hiring MTs with entry level exp
I have just graduated from a MT program and am looking for work. I am willing to work the hours no one else wants. Can anyone suggest companies that hire MTs with entry level experience. My husband is working in Iraq and I would like to supplement his income so he can come home.
Did any of below posters google? Did you see entry

Data Entry / Excalibur
Does anyone work for or know anything about this company? Sorry, no time nor money for scams.
Excaliber Data entry
So Excaliber Data Entry was a scam? I wondered why it disappeared and they got me for the $55. LIVE AND LEARN. Just was trying to get something part-time as DTS, America has been out of work since I started in March....If I have work I can make the line requirement and I have 1 primary and 3 backup accounts. :(
Excaliber Data entry
It is MY OWN STUPID fault. My husband said the same thing, anything or anyone who wants money up front.
Excilaber Data entry
They wanted $55 for a background/criminal check. If you fail the check, then you get refunded but if you fail the test and they do not hire you no refund. The test is Microsoft 2007 which I have never used as I have not needed to. Just sounded like a good thing.
Thanks for responding
Entry-level MTs are hired all the time...
but in this industry, entry level usually refers to someone who has completed a comprehensive MT training course but has no actual paid MT experience. My suggestion would be to investigate training at M-TEC or Andrews before thinking of looking for a job.
If you are entry level, what is the line requirement.
and how long will they give you to make that count. Also can someone tell me what the pay will be for entry level. I see they are hiring all the time and was interested.
Thanks.
Are there any companies who hires entry-level MTs
Does anybody knows who hires entry-level MTs?

Data Entry Specialist job listing?
Does anyone know anything about the data entry specialist job listing on the job board? Is this one of those scam or is it a real job? I applied for it, but have not heard anything yet. Has anyone here heard anything about it?
Thanks
