That is a hard question to answer unless is pertains to
them. I cant say one way or the other because I have not asked for flexibility.
I also dont know about how easy the line count would be to get because there are so many accounts and what could be easy to one might not be easy for another.
I found that I had to put my kids in day care for at least 6 hours a day in order to work.
It is too stressful to have to worry about getting the line count and worrying about making sure your little ones are taken care of.
I wish you luck.
This only pertains to federal health programs
Like VA. It says if the MTSO is paid with federal money, then they are subject to all these things.
That's very, very basic MT! nm

I could see basic four, but all others? I don't

Basic MT course
Hi,
I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again. Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit?
Thanks,
MT
Basic course
MTEC has a basic course and a premier course. You can also go on their message boards and ask questions there.
Basic Course?
Medical Coding. Can you work from home. Do you have to have experience before you get a job? I know you have to have experience as an MT before you get a job.
Thanks
Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on.
It is basic four using Softscript. (sm)
I will have to ask about the margins. Thanks.
No, I do acute care/basic 4 ... so I don't know
about the radiology part, but give it a shot. They've gotten rid of some bad eggs as I understand it, and as long as I've been here, which is under a year, things have been fine.
This is basic medical terminology 101.
She WAS complaining about basic answers.
A direct quote from her post above:
I can't seem to get basic answers to my questions without it being an educated guess or noneducated for that matter!
There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're. Affect, effect. Basic skills of sentence structure. Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.
Acute care basic 4
Yes you can. I have to go at a slow pace because of arthritis in my hands and I still get a decent line count. Wish I had the speed I used to have, I would really be making it big!
What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
She wasn't complaining about getting basic answers - sm
She was talking about posts that assumed she was pregnant and looking for a job when she clearly stated that she was planning on a family in the future, and not currently pregnant.
I wouldn't do it. One of each basic 4 types or a few clinic
s
I wonder why they keep advertising if there is no work. Are you doing the basic 4 or clinic. nm
:
Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.
BOS is a crock. Basic grammer/spelling all that is

Which company offers the best basic pay for Proofers.
what is best matched in industry
Sorry dear. Been at this forever..test was not basic knowledge....
Some of it was stuff you'd never come across in 20 years of doing this job, not even once. lol
That one I know :-) That is your basic rate/line count earnings sm
before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc.
I also have not received my cable reimbursement. Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie.
I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM
Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm
s
She includes ER in acute care, so I guess that would make it Basic Five :) nm

Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up
and now offering direct deposit. This is a great company to work for. It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin. The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children. There is plenty of work and you use Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe. The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English. I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not think of working anywhere else. Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!
The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.
If radiology is going to VR, why are there so many job openings for radiology MTs? nm
nm
Ascend Radiology & MDI Radiology?
Is anyone currently working on or know anything about Ascend radiology or MDI radiology accounts? What platforms do they use? Do they have a lot of ESLs or crappy dictators? Thanks in advance
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Radiology.
I don't know about that particular company, but $1.25 per report is average - I'm paid $1.25 for all reports other than CTs and MRIs, which pay $2.25 per report... 
mdi radiology
Weekends and Fridays are always short-staffed..but you will account hop like crazy...expect it, and you may or may not have enough to keep you busy. It's the slow time of year right now. Hope all goes well, but don't expect much.
MDI-FL RADIOLOGY - sm
MDI-FL advertizing for radiology positions - what a farce. We sit here and wait for work every day with not enough to go around. What will new employees type????? I'm absolutely dumbfounded over those ads...can't believe it. Come join us and babysit your PC ...just like they do at Transcend!!!
Radiology
Can you type on all the platforms? If so, then, by all means contact me at deb.hull@medicaldictation.com or contact the supervisor of radiology and discuss with her. Otherwise, ads are not placed if we have people who can type them. Sorry if you were confused on this issue. The object is to STAFF accounts, not over-staff. I hope this helps to clarify. 
Do they have Radiology?

MDI-FL Radiology
I quit a job I loved because I was promised the dream job I have been waiting for - Radiology. We all know how hard it is to get. Well, that was supposed to be my primary at T-C Transcription. Turns out as soon as I sign the papers, everything is out the window. I got five accounts. My primary, radiology, well, by the time I sign on the chick that transcribes this account has it all done. They give me VA and four other hospital accounts. The info on the accounts is like 18 pages long. They make you do a monthly schedule that you have to email, and other BS stuff that is a pain in the ass. They also have a private email account that you are supposed to access every 15-minutes. Hello?? Who does that? Well, if you don't you have to sign back in. The job I left was gold compared to this junk place. I got my job back with the job I left, and have never been happier. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Learned the hard way.
Radiology
I work on a new radiology account for them. Not sure when that ad was posted for hiring, but I have been with them for over a year and just started this account a month or so ago.
now for radiology
now what about radiology? Are there any companies out there that will take someone who is a newbie at radiology?
radiology
can anyone please tell me about radiology? do any companies hire and train newbies? thanks
radiology
i could be wrong, but i dont believe there are companies that would hire a newbie for radiology. most are short reports, but radiology goes into deeper anatomy and physiology. it would be best to get familiar with h/p, consults, and discharges first. good luck
radiology
You would probably be better off trying to get some experience on the job in a hospital (more variety) to start. I type radiology and thats my advice. Good luck in your job search. Also, I am spreading the word, if offered a job from D&L Typing Service, trust me DO NOT accept. Horrible company.
some radiology - sm
mixed in with other clinic work, but not a lot of radiology.
Radiology
What company is best for a radiology transcriptionist? Might be looking for a change. Thanks!
I would have to say for radiology, KS is best. nm

I think they are the best out there for radiology. I have been there sm
for almost two years (wow! I did not realize it has been that long). There were problems a while back that seem to be straightened out. I never had any of the problems affect me but I from I heard it was really due to growth and changes. It is very stable now. Direct deposit -- yes. Paid -- 1st and 16th. Benefits -- Health insurance (you pay), life insurance, 401k. Plenty of radilogy work but not very flexible because of tight turnaround times. One thing if you are looking for flexible, I know they are hiring a few floaters right now for vacations, sick days, heavy volume days, etc. In the hospital I used to work, they were call per diem. KS is calling them floaters.
They were looking for a radiology MT
awhile back. Check with the HR manager.
