As in largest - largest number of MT's -- what is the order of the
Is the Q still the largest ? Is Spheris next ?
Does anyone have a feel on this subject of late?
Do what you think is best. I just left a major national, went to another national but after
6 weeks found it did not fit. Just happened to luck into another smaller national and things couldn't be better. There are other jobs out there.
Company begins with a "T"
This woman has forever subcontracted work out under the guise of hiring for her own company. You end up making significantly less than you would working for the company you're typing for. Seems like this should be illegal. Don't know how she is getting companies to go along with this. I guess its the having no respect part of companies. I know of a couple of companies where the supervisor also gets a cut of the lines that are produced thats why perhaps they crack that whip because they know its going to affect their pay. This just gets more and more ridiculous and Im thankful I don't have to type. I will have to say I am so glad Im with a company that I believe is totally on the up and up with MTs. I won't give the name here because I will just be accused of trying to recruit which I am not.
Does anyone know the name of the MT service in Austin, TX? Begins with an R.
No it's a company in California begins with a
Everyone for the most part is friendly and helpful. It's just this one QA person who is rude and demeaning. I've been at this for over 15 years now. I get reports back with blanks she is not able to fill in but a report filled with commas and changed words that I KNOW where not dictated. When I questioned that I'm not given any explanation on how this was possible when I know it was not dictated. I think that is what may have triggered the attitude. I've already started looking so I can be prepared when I've had enough.
Are you by chance hired for the new acct which begins sm
next week? Aren't you working on the staging platform now (and being paid hourly) until that work goes live?
Each journey begins with one small step.
If one hospital/MTSO sees the folly of VR, the lawsuits, etc., they will stop this NONSENSE. Thank you for your validation of my efforts.
So give her the couple days before the kicking begins. n/m

If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

Who are the largest? Top Ten? nm

Q is largest with Spheris second.
Q has over 7000 MTs/MEs/QA. Spheris has around 3800 to 4000.
Largest Nationals?
What would you say the top 5 largest national companies are? Thanks!!
Administrator...I have text set for largest, but
...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job. The text is awfully small. Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?
I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small. Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either.
I seriously doubt they are the 3rd largest. Maybe on another planet?
We know pretty much who the largest companies are. I think the best benefits I have seen have been with TransHealth. They are reasonable and they have really good healthcare insurance as well as dental and vision. Most companies just do not care about the benefits for their people.
3rd largest DOMESTIC employer
Besides MedQ and Spheris, who else has 750 domestic MTs? And to answer your question before you ask; yes, CyMed really does have that many. I work in the corporate office and they've been stuffing envelopes for employee Christmas cards and gifts all week. (Finally getting them out the door on Monday.)
I know that MQ and Spheris are the two largest companies. Who are the next ones in the top 10? nm
zzzzzzzzzz
The largest number of complaints (sm)
about companies that I see on this board are for two reasons: 1) Companies that routinely overhire and make everyone fight for adequate work but still insist on line/hour quotas being met; and 2) Companies that don't communicate well -- recruiters that are more focused on selling their particular service than listening to make certain there will be a good fit between service and MTs and supervisors who are quick to send emails to criticize an MT but are frustratingly unavailable when the work volume is low or when MTs have problems that need addressed.
SPi acquires Cymed - becomes 3rd largest Co.
The talk doing the rounds is almost official. At least one senior executive had confirmed the deal. Further details awaited.
I read that Transcend was the third largest
How could Keystrokes be that big? From what I heard Keystrokes is still midsize. I would say there are plenty larger than them. Also Transcend has several divisions, which I do not believe is similar to Keystrokes at all.
Sorry, but not according to one of the largest financial insitutions in this country.
They totally disagree with what you say. I have talked to them in depth
silly wabbit, take a look at the CEOs of the largest
The MT industry IS male- dominated. The ICs and small mom-and-pop MTSOs may still be predominately women, but when the higher echelon of the larger companies are in fact males...well, you just don't come off sounding like you have it all together. Additionally, most of those male-dominated large MTSOs have sunk huge amounts of money in offshore facilities/employees. Our government has made it lucrative NOT to do business in the US.
About this work stoppage thing and organization efforts you advocate, you must not be well read in MT circles on the 'net. There have been some serious people making serious efforts to organize the MT industry and time and time, these efforts fail. The biggest reason for this failure are anonymous message boards like these (no offense to the board owner/administrators) because people don't want to put their name behind what they say, don't want stand up for what they say. There are too many people who simply want to keep their jobs. I DO believe that if the US MTs collectively stopped working for a week, services WILL find alternatives and there will be loss of jobs. Remember the air traffic controllers? Best example I can offer.
I could go on but I got weary from reading your post as I have seen it time and time again, and unless you personally are willing to stand up and organize it, why are you stirring the pot?
Milton's Red Stapler
Wow, Will that then make Spheris the largest company?

My husband works for one of the largest corporations in the U.S. (not MT). sm
They are paid on the 1st and 15th and his will not post until Monday. They were told that it depends on the clearing house in their region, that their bank sends it any day, even if a Sunday, but if that middleman, so to speak, is closed, it will not go until the next day. Same with holidays.
India has one of the largest growing economies in

What are top 5 companies size-wise? MQ still largest? nm
,,
Sorry, but I used to work at one of the largest financial institutions in this country.
Thank you very much. Unless you have proof in your hand that the deposit was supposed to go in on a certain date, DO NOT go writing checks and spending money without that proof because stuff happens.
You mentioned smaller companies, but MQ is the largest, so do you think thousands will be let go?

Diskriter - Working for the largest hospital system in FL.
The benefits look fabulous! Strict schedule? Good PTO?
Thx!
I think the 2 largest companies that do not offshore are Webmedx and Keystrokes. sm
Webmedx is in the $25m range with 750 employees and Keystrokes in the $20m range with 600 employees.
I am not sure about SoftScript or Transtech but I do not think they are bigger than those two.
I know that both have goals to be in the same size range as Spheris. I worked for Spheris in management for a while before coming to my senses and both companies were discussed frequently.
I just hope that MQ or Accusis does not buy either of them. The rumor is that neither will even think of selling but $$$ talks and MQ still seems to have plenty even after losing the lawsuits AND after having a negative income for several years. Not sure how or why, but their pockets are deep, as are those at Accusis.
Thoughts?
Allscripts - Just found out that one of the divisions for one of my largest accounts has started
to use Allscripts instead of dictating with my service. I believe it's just a matter of time before the rest of the divisions follow suit....this can't be good!
9 cpl, national, 10 yrs exp.
Unless you are an I/C then 9 cpl is good.
Which national is that?
nm
You are less apt to do it with a national!
More apt to do it with your own accounts or land a great paying job with someone who is not using the internet MTSOs, the internet robbers!
They pay you crap and suck the life out of you! Go independent.
Can you get a job at a national
with going to a community college for your MT education? Thanks!!
Which national is the best for...
flexibility, clinic work and fair pay. I have about 17 years of experience, looking for STEADY part-time work for now. If it works out with a company, I would consider full time. Who is the favorite national here? TIA
at the BIG national I get 7.2 CPL for ASR
but I have been an MT for 26 years.......
4 CPL??? Unheard of in my world....actually....sorry
I used to be AC at a national for $32,000

Pay with National
I made 41K last year with very little overtime, and this included incentive pay. My account is going to SR shortly, though, and this kind of money will be a thing of the past. For that reason, I will be moving on soon to a company where I can do straight transcription and be paid a decent wage for it.
The national I work for does not do that. sm
If low on work, they do not take away benefits. 
you work for a national....nm

National Certification for MTs
Can someone refer me to a website or something so I can get certified. Finished my course with a college and they don't of course deal with the National Certification. Anyone out there done the certification part. Please help. Thanks
When is National MT Week? TIA
They were the first national I worked for, and sm
Giselle had a wonderful personal touch with the employees, and swore they would never outsource their work overseas, and it was pasted proudly over their website. The accounts I had were sucky and I left, but with no hard feelings. Now, I see their web site no longer says anything about them not keeping everything in the US -- sad.
Small national
Try - www.milnertranscriptionservices.com
No other national beginning with "M"...
I worked for Cymed and stayed with SPi. I hate it. Absolutely. TAT is so tightly controlled that there is almost never any work. It totally sucks. And they don't give a damn about us MTs. Just in it for the money. A HORRIBLE company.
in my first year of MT at a national
I was making $130 a day with my main account...then the rug was pulled out from underneath me and my company lost the account (would not say why). I have not made that money since and that was 7 years ago.
national company
I have been with a national for about a year - was on one account for about 6 months - then all of a sudden the work load dropped and then was told the hospital went another direction. I waited it out for a month, as they told us that they would place us on other accounts - they finally did - now some of us are being moved to another account - which I don't mind - other than the downtime in learning it - and this is supposed to be helping out another service. I learned today that the reason they lost the first account that I transcribed was because they outsourced it to India and the hospital had specifically had in their contract that their work was not to be outsourced. Why would a company take that kind of risk - and then lose a very large account? Plus lose good transcriptionists who could not wait a month to be reassigned to another account? I now have spoken with the company who has my original account and hopefully will be hired. They know I worked the account for 6 months, so I could just pick up where I left off. How many nationals do this, though, contract for US work and then outsource? I also heard of a company who is hiring only editors to QA and edit work coming back directly from India - now that is a job I want nothing to do with.
Pay is much much much lower than any other national

TT is my favorite national so far
