Zylomed is not what it appears for RAD

Worked there within the last six months. Word-based web platform but tons of demographics and training sucked - not a money maker.

Obviously not what it appears to be...
I was hired as a CMT in early 2005, had a very good account. In early 2007 I started SR along with MT on same account and was given 2 more accounts. We lost my main account last November 2007. I have 5 accounts I do MT and/or SR work on. I am available 7 days a week and will work all hours that work is available, management knows this. The work is still slow and I'm still waiting. This you see is what it is that I do, thank you.
It appears to me that there MAY BE
some MTSOs or their sidekicks posting here a lot and I suspect they MAY use a lot of different monikers (or lack thereof).
Zylomed North Florida, Inc....is this the same as Zylomed?
And does anyone have any current info on them...do they hire IC? Thanks!
the above poster appears to me to be a....nm
I appears you don't transcribe
From your post, I gather that you are either QA or QA/recruiting (and maybe hourly?). I agree that there are some inflated resumes floating around and many MTs do not put out quality work. Neither of these issues is exclusive to American MTs, though. I also agree that many MTs quit a job quickly - I'm guilty of this, as well. There may be a problem with the platform, the interface, the Internet connection, the sound quality, discrepancies in the schedule agreed upon compared to days/hours actually worked, promised percentage of ESL, ability to utilize templates or playouts, workflow, and pay. These are all issues that can't be foreseen until you actually go to work for a company. Experienced MTs discuss as many issues as possible with the recruiter prior to hire and hope that the recruiter is honest/informed enough to provide the information necessary, but often that is not the case. I'm patient with technical problems, as I know they'll be resolved eventually. But, when you encounter ongoing roadblocks to making a decent living and voicing your concerns to your supervisor/their supervisor/the recruiter gets you nowhere, it's time to move on. In my opinion, at that point the company has voided the contract, not me. Your recruiter friend who generally hires twice as many MTs as she needs and ends up holding onto a fourth of them - she's either misstating the conditions of the job or overhiring and starving out the ones who can't afford to sit and wait for something to show up in their queue. Either way, the MT is the one who loses out.
It appears their name is a spoof for (sm)
Medi-Sota, a transcription company. I skimmed through the article and found this as a contact.
Preferred Vendor Agreements – 2004 Update:
****Brinker Transcription and Technology Solutions became Medi-Sota’s first preferred vendor for medical transcription services in August of 2004. Contact Karyn Brinker, at 651-257-6360 if you are interested in using this service.
Well it appears that that number has been disconnected.

It Appears Censorship is Alive and Well...
here on the MT boards , as my post in reply in this thread has disappeared.
I've seen the light., but it appears dim.
The light you're shedding though seems to be in the rose-colored form, which only means to me that you have been among the few, fortunate MTs, that do not have to put up with the rat race this industry has turned into. The day you remove your rose-colored glasses just might be the day you see how things are for the majority of the working MTs out here.
I despise fighting for files, running out of work, never knowing if I can/will get enough work to earn a decent check. It shouldn't be this way, but it is.
Congrats on your cushy job and all the best to you, I mean that sincerely, but your situation certainly is not the norm in this industry, especially not today.
Check out some recent ads asking for acute care experience. Take a look at the line rates being offered. Then remind yourself of everything you are required to know in order to perform your job successfully as an MT. Think about that for a few, then come back to this board and tell us all how you would feel if you were placed in a position to be looking for a well-paying job, and do let us know how you would honestly feel.
It appears to do only the document you are in. As I trust my co. to tally for me, I don't know m
about the function. You might be able to write a macro to do that...but I have no idea how to do that.
Webmedx bought TransHealth, but it appears
they are still 2 separate companies for now, still using both names. Webmedx had a couple of ads posted this week or last that said they paid QA hourly, but I don't know their rate. I hated it from day one there but I was an MT. I don' know how it is on the QA end, though several or us complained about QA because we never got feedback and work was bypassing QA and going directly to the client. They have overhired MTs, but have severely underhired QA.
The way your grammar appears in this post, TT would probably not want to hire you.
FYI -- you sound like a foreigner to me
I agree. Bad supervisors are common at Spheris it appears. NM.

Any info on Zylomed in Naples Fl (not the North Fla one). Was offered a job there. Got mixed reviews in the archives but not sure which one was being reviewed. You can email me directly. Thanx.
Zylomed
Any info on this company, good or bad? I am considering a position with them. Thanks.
ZyloMed
Thanks for responding. How would this affect my working for them (sending offshore)?
ZyloMed
Thanks. I have decided against them now for more than one reason. I think they were a little too anxious to hire; they seemed desperate almost.
Zylomed
Get your facts straight before you post! Zylomed does not offshore now and only did as the previoiusly poster said one small account and then the Indians could not even do it, so they gave up the account.
Zylomed is an EXCELLENT company to work for. They have nice managers, and the owner Susan Sumner is by far one of the nicest women I have ever worked for in this industry. They are a good company, they pay on time, and always have work, and when they do not the Lead MT who is over everyone makes sure that there is work to go round. I speak from experience, as I worked for them part time, for about a year, and found them to be honest, upfront, and nice people. They have lots of radiology. I was sorry that I ever left, but had a family illness.
zylomed
I just started working for them and everyone is nice,helpful and polite and pay was on time. I would go for it.
Zylomed
Anybody know if Zylomed hires employees or just IC, and if employees do they provide health insurance? Thanks! TC
ZyloMed
Any info on ZyloMed? TIA
zylomed
I have been working for them for about 3 months. It is a good company. Pay is twice a month and automatically deposited and on time. Good QA, system easy to learn. People are nice. If there is anything else you need to know let me know.
Zylomed
Any current info available? Do they offer health insurance. TIA. 
Zylomed
Great company. Very happy there. I only do radiology so cannot speak for other accounts.
Zylomed
Does anyone know about the Zylomed Transcription Service in Florida, are they a good company to work for, any information would help. Thanks - Alice
zylomed
I need some feedback/info on zylomed, are they any good?
Zylomed
I am in need of information on Zylomed out of Florida - good, bad or indifferent.
Zylomed
Never see much about Zylomed. Does anyone know anything about them?
Thanks in advance.

Zylomed sent me their foot pedal and I have been on the phone for training - always with a problem that arises. I have literally sat in front of my computer screen for 3 hours this afternoon waiting to hear from an IT person so that I can get on with my training. Has anyone else had this experience? Anyone know anything about this company. I passed their test - which is why I got a call in the first place. I was told that they had no idea when someone would contact me - maybe again on Monday - yikes!!!!! Should I run now or later?
Zylomed
?
Zylomed
I will be doing an orthopedic and neurology account. The IT person called me this morning and when I finish my work for the other company I am working for he is going to help me - I have experienced some sort of problem with every company that I have worked for - in fact, when I lived in SC and worked for the local hospital there - it took me almost a month to get set up and going.
Zylomed
I have received two e-msils from Jim. He wants to call tomorrow, but now I am having second thoughts. He contacted me about rad work. It pays quite well, should I be worried? Has anyone done rad work for them? Please let me know so I know whether to take his call or not tomorrow.

I too had an unfortunate experience with them. I was very happy working for them for one year. Had two ESL's that I found easy to do eventually. The docs were very pleased with my work.
Then, I relocated and took some time off. When I came back, was told there wasn't enough work for me and was terminated that day. NO NOTICE, nothing. In addition, I have yet to receive my COBRA papers so I have no insurance. I have called them upteen times (Kelly is in charge of this and never returns calls)and now turned it over to the FL Dept of Labor. I hated doing this, but felt I had no recourse. Kelly blames the payroll people. Could be they are the problem, but no one is taking care of it.
And, I know what you mean about Jim. I thought he and I were friends (exchanged email jokes, etc), but he won't take my calls either. Jon, the IT guy is the best! Sad sad situation. Very disappointing.
I will be working with ATSI (radiology only) as they use the same platform. Anyone familiar with them?
ZyloMed
Anybody work for ZyloMed or know anything about them?
Zylomed
I was hired as an IC - sent a footpedal and their IT person could not get the platform to work - so they called and told me that I was fired - to which I responded they couldn't fire me because I was an IC and had never formally done any work for them. In looking further - the footpedal was broken - clipped/broken wires - this was their loss (15 years experience) not mine - glad I saw their true colors sooner than later. Check them out thoroughly before going with them.
ZyloMed
anyone familiar with Zylomed transcription company?
Zylomed
I was wondering the same thing. I got an E-mail from them today regarding a job. The pay sounds nice, but how are they to work for?
zylomed
thanks for input. i think I'll bail out of this one. susan
zylomed
Anyone work for them? Are you happy there? Please give me some info
zylomed
was wondering the same thing - i returned the questionnaire last friday and nothing........then another MT I know went to the website and filled out a different questionnaire on the following Tuesday and she received an email asking when would be the best time to call her - go figure?????
Zylomed - not for me
Jim, the hiring manager was not a good communicator. He offered me a job and told me that he was sending me the paperwork. I waited a week and still no paperwork. I called him and he never returned my phone calls. I e-mailed him and he never returned my e-mails. This company does not have their heads on straight in my opinion!
zylomed
Anyone currently working for them? How are they to work for?
Zylomed??
I talked to them some time back and they hired me but their IT person could never get the MT-World to work on my computer - I then got a call that they would have to let me go????? My response, I never worked one minute for you guys. I just took it for what it was and moved on. But if the IT person couldn't get things up and running in a week and then I get a call - that sent up a red flag - so I can't recommend them.
Zylomed
Anyone know anything about this company? Their website has very little info on it. I'm working for another national and not making much money because of all the ESLs. Zylomed said that I would be asigned exclusively to one doc or group of docs. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
zylomed
I work for them and like my job. If you need any more info email me
ZyloMed
Has anyone worked for ZyloMed? I can't find too much info about them from their site and I'm suppose to have an interview with them tomorrow.
Zylomed did me the same way
But it was the footpedal - it was their footpedal - the IT person couldn't get it to work - so they called and said they were sorry, but they would have to let me go - I told them that I never did any work for them, so how could they let me go I just chalked it up to experience - but I wasn't out $1000 - I believe small claims court is in order here.
Zylomed
IT guy is great. HR guy is not. Otherwise, no problems with them.
I believe Zylomed does...nm

ZyloMed
Hello. Can anyone give me any new information on whether or not ZyloMed is a good company to work for. I searched the Archives and most all comments are from 2004 and older (I think there was one from 2005). Thanks very much to all who respond. Have a great day!
