Based on my past experience, I think they will push everyone...
to be employees so they can lower your cpl rate. Once the company I worked for started pushing employee status, they made it miserable for those of us who wouldn't take the 2 CPL pay cut to be an employee, i.e., not mailing out checks and saying if we were employees, we could have direct deposit, etc.
The pay is stratified, based on years of experience and if you're a CMT. sm
You will be required to work one weekend day every week. There is a mix of ESL and non-ESL. Currently we have been running out of work, but it always picks up in the winter. I do not know what "SE's" are so I can't answer that question.
agree,the pay is going to vary based on individual experience

MT seamstress made a statement based on her experience.
Why should MT Seamstress be worried about the feelings of others when this man obviously cared nothing about HER feelings. I am not married to an offshore man but I have had dealings with them in the business world and MTS. experience is very typical of what I have seen also. Maybe your DH is the exception. One bases one's opinion on what they have seen and experienced and third world men, as I have been exposed to, lie, manipulate and treat women with no respect or regard. Are you saying you have NOT eperienced this with any of the offshore men you come in contact with regarding, maybe not DH himself, but other men in DH family or circle of friends?
The answers provided are based on my personal experience only
need any information you can give me on Medware. What they pay, (depends on your experience) platform (Merit), training (frustrating, on par with many companies in like field), do you pay deposit for computer (you supply your own), what they are like to work for (depends on who your Team Lead is), work (feast or famine), offshore (Yes), etc. I need it quick and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm

RE: What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm
RadNet
Yes. Their line rate is based on production with a minimum
per pay period (twice a month) of 3500 lines. I think that 3500 lines per pay period only pays around .065 cents a line though. 5000+ lines a pay period is 8 cents a line. They are IC, but they do pay the employer portion of Soc.Security (kind of like statutory). They pay for black and white 65-character line (spaces included). Hope that helps.
I personally feel the line count is based
more on the account that you are working on more so than the typing platform. If your notes are decent length with decent dictators, lines are easy. On the other hand, if your notes average 10-30 lines, you're going to work a whole lot harder and longer for those lines.
Any math wizards out there that can help..Based on a 65 character line,
if you were not paid for spaces, what would 11 cpl (w/o) equal? It sounded good, but when I did the math it was lower than 8 cpl with spaces? I hope I'm not right.
Sorry I know people have asked this before but I couldnt remember answer.
Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.

PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
Your line count varies based on QA score.

The hospital may pay a line rate to the VR company based on usage...nm

If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.

As far as I understand it, it's not based on line count really, more a set dollar amount earned
a pay period and I fell short $90 of that set amount. You must make X-amount of dollars to be considered FT status. I missed 2 days of work due to illness. I truly think that is the why it is because their policy says that. I still think you should be notified if your benefits are cut in advance so you can either choose to find another job right away so your not without insurance long or at least can purchase an individual policy. Being without insurance is scary to me with all of our kids.
A gross line is not based on characters. A gross line is
anything on the line constitutes a line, so if you only have 1 word on a line it is still counted as a line. A gross line at 8 cpl roughly translates to 10 cpl/65 character.
I have 11 years experience and am on 9 cents a line
and I'd say 9.5 cents per line is pretty good these days!
10 yrs experience w/CMT Alltype offered 8.75 per line : (

Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?

What do they pay per line for acute care with tons of experience?

Anyone work for Spheris doing VR? Could you share experience, pay, line count etc..
Also, what are the benefits like i.e., medical insurance etc??
What line rate does Medware pay for 28 years experience but no CMT status for an employee, also
is the pay higher for IC?
In my limited jobseeking experience I'm finding I only get to learn line rate after I spend hours
.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm

A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.
"a line is a line" means gross line.
Gross line is a line, no matter how long or short.
Here, here. Exactly my experience also, even down to the 10 year work experience. nm

Are they USA based
do they have a lot of ESLs? Is the pay fair? TIA.
Based on -
When you work in a production environment, you are paid for production. You are expected to meet certain quality requirements. So why should you be paid more just because you have a certain number of years in? There are some very BAD MTs with many years experience, and some very good ones with just a few. If you are good, quick, and accurate, you will make more. What's so unfair about that?
Is that based on
gross $$ or net $$? That is an unusual way of determining FT/PT status.
only want internet based too. nm

That's an answer that can only be based on
If you can produce a lot of lines per hour (300-350 or more), then you're not going to make money on VR. Depending on what your company offers as a rate for VR is what you would have to use to arrive at a base figure. One company pays 60%. That means in order to just break even you'd have to produce 40% more than you do in straight typing. That means at 350 lines per hour straight typing, you'd have to produce 490 lph in VR just to break even. Then you'd have to take into consideration that when you do VR you're not editing like QA editing. You have to completely edit the whole report, read the whole thing, and correct all errors. This sometimes takes as much time as straight typing depending on the dictator. Some are very easy. Some you have to correct almost the entire report. Chances are that you're not going to consistently get very easy reports every day, all day. If you're working on an overflow account for a client that has in-house transcription or for a client that has multiple transcription services, you can bet your bottom dollar that you're not getting the easy reports at all, let alone consistently.

They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Actually it's based on four things...
The pay plan is based on production, QA scores, how much you send for help, and whether you have a CMT. It is evaluated every month. By the way, the pay plan was actually created through our employee vision team, which gives employees input into how the company is run. I happen to like it as it means I make more money when I am able to produce more and I get that increase for at least a month. Has worked for me and others to give consistent raises for good performance. The platform is pretty easy, there are people who are doing 2500-3000 lines/day on it.
Not based on average..
PTO is based on 1200 lines, not by an average.
U.S. based company
Softscript, Inc. or www.softscript.com is completely U.S. based, no offshoring. A nice company to work for (from home). Located in Santa Monica.
New at home based...
I would like to get some feedback on a few companies. I have been offered positions from AccuScribe, Cymed. I am an IC now and have been in a hospital setting for several years, now at home working for a local company that does not pay well.
This newbie really needs some help!
Thanks in advance!

Also, how can you recommend DR based on the
original poster's request? SE status and not strict schedule? DR offers none of the above! Sheesh! What a waste of board space! Must be a DR supe or recruiter.
This may be the one.....are they based in Florida.....
reliable pay?? PT work? IC or employee status? What type of equipment is required?
TIA
It can if it is word based
Any word based Expander can be copied over into Medware.
AND based on the wording and the
number of years (3) claimed to have worked for this pitiful company.....there must be only one person taking up for them. How sad. If you have been following the board for the past few weeks, you are surely aware of the current employees who have went to the feds over the wrong doings of this company. LOL!!!
keystrokes, web based? sm
How is the platform, is it user friendly? Does anyone work there and use satellite to connect? Thanks!
based on your paragraph
it came to about the same amount of lines, actually, the 37 char lines were a fraction higher; so it sounds comparable to me.
Since they are based in India probably willing to pay
.
Pay is based on production.
They have a few different levels. Maximum pay rate is for 225 lph minimum. That schedule is in the process of being revised and s/b finished within the next few weeks, most likely upward to our advantage and to include shift differential. For more details on the current pay rates, you may want to speak to a recruiter since I don't want to give incorrect details. I'm at the top pay level, and I make good money there, but there are other programs as well (like Star team). There is also weekend differential. Pay on holidays is time and a half if you work plus straight holiday time, which is why I almost always volunteer to work holidays if my daughter is with her dad.
It isn't based on any particular WP program. Can use
with Word though and probably is in most cases.
