I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
work types
Hello,
I had consults, H&P, discharge summary, a few OP notes here and there, basically in all specialities, cardiology, neuro, GI, Ortho, OB/GYN, psych, etc.
One of the things I can tell you for sure that I didn't do was radiology.
HTH, any other questions just let me know! 
Work types are
discharge summaries, op notes, history and physicals, ER notes, consultations, clinic notes, etc.
Work Types
Is it just me or does there seem to be a trend of work assigning lately. I type fairly fast and I find myself getting bottom of the barrel scraps lately.
re work types
it is my understanding they have clinic work as well, but i am doing acute care.
I CAN do the other work types. Not much
experience with caths or sleep studies, but can do the basic 4 without any problem. I can do the worst of the ESLs with rarely any problems, but I sure don't want to do them all day, no matter how much they pay me.
I'm hoping things settle down. I don't plan on changing jobs, but didn't plan on changing to this one either but I didn't have a choice. I'm seriously looking to get out of the MT business, but still be at home.
Thanks. Are there certain work types that seem to need help and how are the
accounts that they have and the system they use.
Do you do all work types?

I haven't had any problems running out of work. I have heard from others who only do clinic, or who don't do op notes. But everyone I have talked to who do all the work types have had no problem.
As for the ESLs, unfortunately, you can't escape them anywhere. You just have to learn to deal with them. They actually do get easier the more you do them. Not my preference, but hey, I've got a job, an income. I'm happy. :-)
WHAT ABOUT WORK TYPES, 99% ESL OR WHAT? ..
It's easy to get your lines as long as the work is there and you get a halfway decent work type, but if no one can understand the crap that's put out (call it 'work pool' set my managers)--- what difference does it make if they DO have work? They can have all the work they want - but if you have to put in 18 hours to get 8 hours worth of required lines , well, big deal if they do have work!
Could you do all work types, or were you limited?nm

Not here. You get your work types and accounts first.

New work types are being added to ML
.
Maybe they are referring to other work types
H&Ps and consults are still H&Ps and consults wherever you go. As you know, each facility will have specs, any differences (should there be any) would be listed there. The company you were talking to might have been referring to OPs, cardio and specialty procedures more so than the basics. Just an idea. I would not let that company get you down. With that much experience, you'll get a job easily enough. Good luck to you. God Bless.
Lots of different work types
.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
totally different situations between work types. nm

What kind of work types does Level 4 do at

I find it very hard to believe that all work types are on a 1-hour TAT(sm)
Are you talking about stats or everything? Do you have this 1-hour TAT in writing? I've never even heard of hospitals being on that tight a TAT.
I am on a new account, doing work types I cant make money on. nm

Just be flexible with your work types and accounts and you should be fine.

Time available, equipment, work types, maybe a pop spelling quiz,

NOT TRUE! I worked every account and all work types and couldn't

Too many variables to count. A lot depends on shift, accounts, what types of work you do. (sm)
I can be totally out of work on my 2 accounts and pull up backlog report and see some accounts have OT offered.
Every company has some employees totally satisfied with amount of work and some who run out totally.
Like I said, many, many variables to be figured in.
Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.
Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.
I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
TT has all types of work & will work w/you

I don't see any change in the work at OSI at all
I've been on OT all weekend. 
I doubt seriously it will change much at all. In the meantime, the many MTs who do not work sm
for them are sick of this.
Medquist should provide a board for their people to discuss this.
I know I am not interested, could care less. If you think you are getting something wonderful from this company, fine! It is my guess, it will not turn out to be anything wonderful in the long haul.
If it is wonderful for you, fine. All that do not work for this company though should NOT HAVE TO READ THROUGH THIS JUNK. A whole entire board is full of this junk now and not just on this board but the Main Board too.
Enough is just enough!
no change, still an awful place to work...nm
are you kidding? I work. It's our reality and it's NOT going to change.
either get a grip, and realize that .. or enjoy your poverty, your welfare, your food stamps and your desire that isn't going to feed you. I wish everyone would stop griping about offshoring. If you have a job, so what your company offshores. It's life. Put on your big girl pants and deal with it. Feed your family and get over it. Take the money where you can get it ...
I need to change the name I use. I work for Keystrokes but live in Kansas. I am truly KS MT but ot

You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

Does anyone work for Landmark Transcription by any change. Can you email me your opinion of them.
Thank you.
TransTech leads and QA have enough work anymore! Are you either? Re payroll co. change,
I remember that well -- SUDDEN HURRY to get paperwork turned in to new company (same paperwork as a new-hire wound fill out). Then the new payroll company did a horrible job of putting the data in, and made horendous mistakes in our personal info, etc. I remember that HURRY very well !
No warning whatsoever to the MT's; just unbelievable mistakes made by new payroll company, and am sure it was due to the BIG RUSH put on them. 
Is it good work ethic to ask to change accounts at natl company? Please SM
I work for a national company and overall I've been quite happy. However, they changed my primary account last fall, and I have been miserable since then. It is a teaching hospital, several hundred docs, tons of different rules about format, etc, that change almost daily, 80% ESL, and I am very unhappy with it and making less now than I have in the last 7 years I've been doing acute care transcription because I'm so slow on it. I get paid 8.5/line.
My question is, is it wrong to ask to change accounts? My quality is great, they are very happy with my work, and in fact have mentioned that many MTs have quit rather than do this account, and of course I realize someone has to do it. I'm so unhappy, yet I don't want to appear incompetent or a cherry picker, etc, if I were to ask for a change (which they would not have to do), and I would like to stay with this company if only I could find a way to be happy with the work, because it is a good place overall. Any thoughts on this? Thank you.
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Spheris has work and they would love to have you work

Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on. The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA. How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of. Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone. Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid. MTSOs know this. I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing. (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ? Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work. Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
I would love to work for DRC (sm)
but their family insurance coverage is over $900 per month! I can't afford to pay half of my salary for insurance. I wish they had a cheaper insurance plan.
I LOVE it this way! I get my work at 6 am and have
until 6 am the next day to return it completed. I love it! It's the greatest thing in the world. Some days, I type all morning and I'm done by noon, some days I have things to do so I type in the evening - works out great, AND, I get paid much higher doing it this way!
I work for them...love it!

I work for DSG..love it there.
I'm not an editor, but the staff, editors and MTs are great to work with. I am happy there.

I work there and love it
I have been an SPI/CyMed employee for a year now and I love it there. The platform that they use is called Chartnet and it is sooooo easy to use. I have a great account that I have been on for the entire year that I have been there and I love it. I make excellent money there. My manager is very friendly and helpful. They do also have benefits, but I don't know too much about them since I have never needed to get them.
I work for them and love them.
Great place to work.
love VR work
Try Precyse Solutions. I work for them and do VR and absolutely love it. Have done it for quite awhile and feel I am more productive than straight typing. Also gives hands a break. Their platform rm is wonderful as well. Good luck!
I work for WMX, love it ...
Granted, I've only been there for a few weeks, but so far I love it. The people are absolutely great, the platform is easy, and I really like the 12-hour window to get my work done in. My primary is 30-50% ESL, but I'm finding out that it's actually much less than that, unless I'm really getting lucky, which is always a possibility. It seems like overall it would balance out, though, to get my fair share of it. I don't have any complaints at all about WMX. Love their incentive tier platform, also. You get paid incentive on ALL work done, not just work done ABOVE the incentive base.
I would LOVE to work at FN!
I am from South Carolina and know the new account they are obtaining very well. I have called, tested (they emailed me back and said I passed) and emailed and have not heard anything. This would be a dream account for me as I have worked for many of the doctors on this account in the past. Any advice?
would love to go to work..sm
I would love to go to work for this company. I put in my resume, but haven't heard anything. Do you know how long it takes for them to respond?
I love where I work.
Medium size I guess, lots of work, pay on time, flexible hours. Love it!
