Any info on CTS: Cardiology Transcription Services out of NY?
*
sorry..that was Cardiology Transcription Servces (tired)
/
current info on Cardiology Transcription Svc please
Nm
Then just start applying for Psych transcription positions you see here...sm
then get yourself established working at home and then decide whether or not you need any schooling. I have found that if you have the BASIC experience, which you already have in psych, then you could cross train on a different specialty with your new company. Just my 2 cents! Good luck.
They want to know about cardiology exp, SM
since that seems to be another speciality of acute care now. Also, oncology, since they are always looking for people who are proficient in that.
Cardiology
What do you think is the highest paid specialty in transcription? Cardiology perhaps?
cardiology
Do you think the cardiology specialty offers more income and job stability than rad, ortho, or other specialties?
Anyone offer just cardiology! The more I do it, the
Looking for employee status. Thanks!
i dont know if it would be the best, but i like cardiology

we need cardiology MTs at my company.

Cardiology or multispecialty? sm
The pay is very good. The cardiology platform is quite technical (Gemms)and sluggish to type in. They have other accounts where you can work in Word and they pay by the gross line. The work was easy though, including the ESLs. When I was there, the invoicing was monotonous - detailed spread sheets. They do invoicing twice a month, but are slow in mailing paychecks - I got my checks 2 to 3 weeks after turning in an invoice.
Cardiology doesn't pay more, but ...
You don't make a higher line rate - at all - doing cardiology, but I have noticed that cardio (at least studies and consults and whatnot) tends to have more templates/macros, so that's where the good stuff would come in.
I used to work for a company a few years ago - had two cardiologists (who did a lot of studies), a couple of pulmonologists (who stunk, but I didn't have to do them much), and two internal med doctors (who both had 40-line macros that rarely had to be adjusted).
My line count was consistently 550-650 an hour, and I was making 9.5 cpl.
Man, I miss that account.
Mid-Atlantic Cardiology?
Do anyone have any informantion on which MTs does Mid-Atlantic Cardiology? Would be interested in a part-time cardiology position.
Not on cardiology acct, but do work for SGS.
Can I help?
I have been typing cardiology exclusively
now for quite some time. I would love some info as well!!! Count me in too, please.
7 cpl for 5 yrs cardiology/10 yrs acute care?
They gotta be kidding.
I see MD-IT is hiring again for cardiology. I would not recommend to anyone
applying to this company. Their recruiter is very rude and she lies, lies, lies. I found their interview extremely misleading and underhanded.
New cardiology job post on job seeker's board....
anybody know what company this is?
Anyone working on the new cardiology account for Archivus out of NC?
Looking for info on platform used, percentage of ESLs, number of docs, if there are templates/headers/footers?
Not sure if they are hiring, but if you like cardiology, CardioScribes is terrific! sm
WestTran is also a good company for clinic work, although, again, I do not know if they are hiring. Both companies are IC work. Good luck in your search!
CardioScribes. They just do cardiology clinics, which is great for me sm
since I was the lead MT for 8-1/2 years for group of cardiologists here locally so I am quite familiar with it all. And it is a nice break from acute care. Of course, just because it is the perfect fit for me does not make it right for everyone. As they always say, one man's Heaven is another man's Hell.
Not just cardiology, other things. You might be talking about a different account
Perhaps it is a different server (there are 2 for regular 1 for rad), and that is why you are not getting the information. Why not just e mail your sup to ask to be trained on something else too. I did and that is the reason why I am working. They need to know if you are willing to learn new account specs, or go to another server, probably. But the new one I am working on I am getting fine reports.
My cardiology account is actually my lowest paying.

On the Job Seeker's board, there is a cardiology account
for a company TOS. Does anyone know what TOS stands for and who they are?? Thanks
Eeegads! I don't mind more detailed but don't like cardiology! :( but thanks for the response
Anyone working on cardiology account for Superior Global out of TX?
*
Anyone working for Superior Global out of TX doing the cardiology studies?
*
TT new account is cardiology, procedure junk that you cant get lines on.
So, it is working for nothing practically. Just a new account on board for TT.
Also do they have IC positions?
tia too
Both positions are for...
large teaching facilities with many different types of reports. The test reports I did included a chest x-ray, mammogram, MRI, CAT scan, and a few interventional procedures. So I'm thinking maybe the gross line method would be best?
Positions..
Would anyone know where to find MT management-type job openings on the internet? Have been searching with no luck. TIA!
IC positions
Can anyone tell me which companies still hire ICs. TIA!
Is there an ad for MT positions somewhere? sm
I don't see an ad here. Please let me know.
No, they are actually 2 different positions
You are the 24-hour PT fixed schedule.
For MTs who want to work 20 hours and under, they work when they are needed or something like that. It's in the other posts.
good luck with MQ
IC positions
Does anyone know of any IC jobs that allow you to work the hours you want, with just a weekly line requirement?
MDI positions
Keep checking back with them on your resume, and if nothing pans out try again in a few months. I imagine they have been flooded with resumes this week from MQers. They are usually pretty good about not overhiring and keeping the accounts staffed adequately so it all stays in TAT but people have enough work.
PT Positions
Hi - I currently work part-time for a company that is consistently running out of work (a bunch of you can probably guess which one). I am looking for somewhere where I can put in about 10 hours weekly to supplement. Can anyone recommend anywhere that would hire for such limited hours? I do not want to leave my current company just yet - only been there a year.....but do want something permanent and steady.
QA positions
This is possibly a stupid question but how do you get a job in QA? I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 24 years and would love to do some QA work. Can anyone give me some insight into this? THANKS!
QA positions
Thanks so much Heather! That is exactly what I am going to try doing as well.
What's with all the IC positions I'm seeing lately?
It was just a matter of a few years ago that the IRS was stomping on just about any MTSO that used what I will call (for want of a better term) the IC dodge to get out of withholding taxes, paying their share of SS, unemployment insurance premiums, etc., etc.
At the time, the IRS published a list of something like 20 questions or criteria that had to be met for an individual to truly be considered an independent contractor - and none of the MTSOs they audited met the criteria. I was personally involved with a company that was declared in violation and it cost them plenty. I also heard about a number of others that were similarly penalized.
For the most part, this IC thing is just what I called it above - a DODGE. In almost every sense, in most cases, the individual is an EMPLOYEE. One of the criteria, for instance, included the degree of control over HOW the work was to be done, WHEN the individual had to work, etc. and it's almost impossible for an MTSO not to exercise more control than the IRS likes to see.
One explanation could be that the IRS is concentrating on other industries right now. They're so short-handed in their auditing division that they have to prioritize what they go after each year. Maybe they thought they had cleaned this up and moved on. If so, they should come back and take another look, because this is starting to rear its ugly head again.
Which positions and

No IC positions at Precyse. nm

At home positions
DTS America Brentwood TN has at home positions awesome management group there.
eliminated positions
Well.... I'm not sure which account you are talking about, but what actually took place was this.... for each of the .. I think 3 accounts there was a day and an evening lead MT. On the acct I worked on there was also a night lead .. though I'm not sure about the others. What they did was tell the leads that their positions were eliminated and actually created new positions, positions which were lead positions, both covering 3 accounts instead of one... plus they are required to type 600 lines on their shift... which basically means they will be of no support to the MTs.. which I felt was the most important part of my job. You will not find anything which violates labor laws in this.... As far as integrity in a company that would do that to their employees.. that is different story. Now.. what you might learn by reading through the facts on this site...
http://www.dol.gov/elaws/
is that these people seriously violate the labor laws when it comes to the amount of work-related hours their MTs put in which they are not paid for.... now THERE is something that cannot be denied. Please tell whichever lead it is ... that I know how she is feeling.. and it shouldn't be allowed... but then..firing an employee after 28 years of working in the same hospital for fabricated reasons after you find out she knows you have been playing doctor with one of the married physicians on staff... and are afraid she might tell... well that isn't right either.. but .. it still happens all the time...the only and very best thing we can do ... is swear to be better people than those who are willing to screw the rest of us to get ahead....
Editor positions
I would be interested in becoming an Editor ... I have been an MT for 25+ years and would welcome $14.00 an hour. Please send email.. thanks
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know
nm
How about QA positions? May be interested.
Went on website and looks like you can only apply for MT. ?
Hospital positions
The hospitals themselves have rules that they only hire from certain states. I have never really gotten a definite answer as to why, but I believe it has to do with the state tax withholding and they are only compatible with certain states. I work for one of these hospitals, but I could not work for the other one because of the state I live in.
It's too bad they put you through all of that without checking first. It should be one of the first things the recruiter checks for a hospital position I would think. There is more than one hospital, so make sure you don't qualify for any of the other ones.
do they offer QA positions?
x
All IC positions and they do offer
positions are all full
