I think you'll make out fine.
I would accept, and then you could always say no if you think you are not turning a profit. 150 pages x 3.00 = $450.00 a day. Am I adding this up wrong? That would be if only each patient required one page. If you add on the 2nd page at $1.50 that is even more money. I print for my docs. I have a cheapo HP that cost me like 80.00. The cartridges run $15.00 and last approximately two weeks. It is an inkjet and works great. I write off the cartridges on my taxes. They are providing the paper. Sounds like a sweet account especially if it's local. A 3-inch margin at the top is a lot. I would go for it! You could always turn it away or sub it out if needed.
I'll lay a nickel against next week's paycheck that this is the NetMed guy. Again. nm

Please, give ME a break! Just do your job and you'll be fine!
Why, if you were doing what was required of you, would Transcend single you out to treat unfairly and why would you be afraid to post publically if you were not stirring up trouble? This what the rest of us wanna know!
Had 4 offers within the 1st week. You'll be fine!:) nm

Your fine as long as your employee, but if your IC, dont hold your breath waiting for a check.
Only employees get direct deposit. If you opt to be an IC, the checks may or may not get out and you may or not get them on a certain day.
Thanks! I'll have to check them out if sm
my present situation fizzles. 
I'll check it out nm

I'll have to check into that. Thanks!! nm
nm
THANK YOU TOO! I'll check with them on that! (nm)
nm
Tx I'll check it out!
Thanks...I'll check with new employer to see which one (sm)
they have..Hope it's Meditech Client!
I'll have to re=check their website
I could have sworn they said US owned/based with locations worldwide.
I'll have to check into Spheris
I looked at them before and at the time they were starting training that you had to pay for and then they would hire you after graduation but if they are straight hiring I'll have to try them again. I'd rather have 3 job offers than none!
I'll check the COC but wanted to start looking now
to get a head start.
Thank you kindly - I'll check 'em out!
:)
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so. There has been nothing good said about them.
Let me check my paperwork and I'll shoot you an email. NM
I'll check paper tomorrow, but not sure about Broward,
zz
Thanks -- I'll make a note of those 2 companies and check them out. sm
Unfortunately, I am reaching that ripe old age where I see a crown in my future 
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
Before someone hops on and say "why are you living paycheck to paycheck (inside)
I had a great saving account this time last year when the company I had been with 2 years took me off my primary (never would tell me why, just said me being shut out was a glitch in the hospital's system) floated me around (not telling me anything of course) because they were getting a Meditech account and wanted me on it (you wouldn't put someone not very experienced on it would you?). It did not take a rocket scientist to realize as soon as I got the C-phone what had happened. Also 80% ESLs. I spent the whole year supplementing my salary until it was gone and have been trying to find a decent company since. That is why I am living paycheck to paycheck and I hate it. I have 20 years in this business and it is getting worse. Speech is great but not for the money. It just does not justify being paid half. You cannot retrain doctors and I don't think management telling them they need to be considerate to us is going to work. Telling them we are making half just does not move them. They still rumble through files, change sentences, have long pauses we are not paid for, speech leaves out words or sentences so tell me why we are paid half? Also, I usually seach a company before I come on and ask for opinions, it saves a lot of space. I know I sound grouchy but I am tired and scared.
I'm just SO tired of living from paycheck to paycheck, and always (nm)
.
Personally, I live paycheck to paycheck because...
I enjoy the constant worry about how to pay my bills and always getting to say I have some lines to make up so I won't be there. Social lives are overrated. I like getting up at 3:00 a.m. and jumping online so I can wrestle a few more jobs out of the system. I don't mind hearing that my supervisor is on vacation again because I know I will be able to use my PTO to make up for my downtime. It's kind of the same thing. I think Ramen noodles aren't just for college students, and one pair of jeans is all you really need for 3 years. I believe very strongly that all the recruiters and managers in the transcription business are taking wage cuts every year, too, so I don't want to feel like I am asking for more than my share.
Living paycheck to paycheck...it's my right darn it.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

no paycheck
yet since I started end of June. Great =(
A paycheck
I thought I wanted a career in medical transcription... now it turns out I just wanted a paycheck.
i'd just like to get my PAYCHECK

Did you get your paycheck?sm
I work there now and afraid to quit because I am worried I will not get pay due me. My pay is always late in and incorrect too.
paycheck
Anyone have experience with first paycheck bouncing? radmt
paycheck
e-mail me and I'll give you the details.
For just the 1st paycheck or all of them?
After the first check, do they usually come about every 2 weeks then?
Last paycheck with OSI
Did you receive your last paycheck on time? I have not received my last paycheck (2 days late so far) after quitting with them.
My first paycheck
was delayed 6 weeks - I later found out this was done on purpose because I was new Garbage! This caused me really big problems with cash flow. They may be better managed now, but my experience was poor.
KS - First paycheck (sm)
I checked my bank balance early this a.m. and no check posted from KS yet. (My first one). When do they normally get posted and how do you see your check stub? Is it mailed to you? Thanks!
paycheck
Mine was in my bank on Saturday like it always is.
Or what does it do to the MT's paycheck?..SM
 This is literal abuse. They are taking food out of the mouth of the MT. She/he is either qualified or not. This does not happen in hospitals or working for a private MT. You take a pre-employment test, either make it or not, then do your work. This 100% QA...released from QA... is industry-specific to the home-MT and MTSOs don't care if the MT is held back in productivity.
paycheck
I work as an IC as well and I usually have to wait a week or more for my check.. end of pay period on the 10th doesn't arrive until 10 days later. How about some STAT TAT for paychecks? How would they feel if we treated their dictation the same way?
Paycheck
They mail the check on Thursday and I get mine Friday or Saturday, like clockwork. I don't make enough to get DD. They offer overnight shipping for a fee, but it is not necessary with the prompt mail delivery in my area.
looking at my paycheck...
I work at a hospital and am paid hourly.
$24.79 base rate + $1.25 per hour shift differential = $26.04 per hour. I had 2 hours of OT totaling $80.37.
Total gross earnings (taxes, insurance not taken out) = $2203.57
We get paid every 2 weeks, on Friday. It works out so that there are 2 months per year where we get 3 paychecks.
I worked for 2 wks and when paycheck was not there
I did not more work until I got check, which did not happen until 3 months later. I hear it is still the same. The people were great in the office but to have to go through what you do in order to be paid, that is ridiculous. I found the account I did to be pretty good. It was out there in the valley near LA and I would have loved to continue working for them, but when I am new with someone, I will not go on a limb and continue working if the pay does not happen. There were always excuses by them as to why they did not pay and all were unwritten rules. Again, I did get paid but waiting for 3 months was a bit much. I don't like to be a day late much less that far down the road. A year later they called me and asked if I would come back and I said no. lol
When to expect first paycheck?
For those you have undergoine training at Medware, I am just wondering when should I expect my first paycheck? I have been in training with Medware for almost 4 weeks now. Thanks
You WHAT???? That's your paycheck. You should figure it out on your own. sm
Do they hold your hand all day too?
To A Paycheck Would Be Nice, please see msg
I think this lady (Karen Kirby I think her name is) is on the up and up. Don't ask me why but I do. I think she is in a bind. I may be completely wrong about it.
A C-phone is a phone/headset/pedal that is used to dial into a system and transcribe. I have seen them on the boards here for about $200. New they would be much much more. If you are interested and could do the work, why not ask her if she could provide you one.
If you look at the posts from last night, late, she and I had a discussion of sorts about her work. She started the post under the Execuscribe (sp?) post and I responded. This was on the company board.
I was thinking of contacting her to offer my services on a temporary basis (she has a backlog of 500 reports by an ESL, from my understanding of it). I hesitate because I already have two services I work for as an IC and they both pay me very well. But I may contact her anyway and see what she has to say. 17 cpl is nothing to sneeze at - ESPECIALLY in this day and age. Granted, it is without spaces, but STILL is a lot of $$$$$$.
Please post back if you contact her. I would be interested to find out how it went.
Have a good and productive day!
And you won't get your first paycheck for about a month. sm
Otherwise, it is a great company -- easy work, pay is 11 cpl.
Good luck!
$250-$300 gets deducted every paycheck for 2
depends what you consider affordable
