Yes, when you become accustomed to editing, you can generally edit at a rate of 400 to 700 lines per hour. It usually takes about a month or two to get used to the editing process. It is important that you learn the eScription shortcuts in the beginning, so that you don't get bad habits. In particular, ALT-K is very important to learn.

Yes I have been paid. Payment has definitely not been a problem. I received payment on the 19th. nm

Tying payment to their payment is fine
if they tell you that up front. Once bitten, twice shy.
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.

They still have not paid me although Sonja Sacoleman made a promise on contacting me for payment but up to now... still nothing!
Alliance Payment Anyone??
Anyone receive payment recently from Alliance? Waiting for over a month. Told they pay weekly when hired. TIA
Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.
There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.
Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.
I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Yes, I received my payment
Yes, I have received my payment as promised.
Never payment issues
with TransTech...never.
Payment at DeVenture
I have been working for them for over a year and have never had a late payment.
Demand for payment
Send her a demand for payment letter with 10 days to pay you. Send it certified with return receipt. State that further action will be taken if payment is not received by you in 10 days, and add that interest will begin to accrue on the balance. In the meantime, see if you can find other MTs who are owed money by this same person. If it's only you, they know you won't take the trouble to travel to their state to file in small claims court. If you have several people, you can file a class action suit in federal court. That's what worked for me a few years ago with a company in California.
No payment from MTSO
I was hired my a MTSO without asking for my social security number or driver's license. I did not sign an IC agreement or HIPPA paperwork. She only verbally told me what I was and verbally did not want any contracts signed. I was told I was a subcontractor, but I refuse to work anymore for her. She is now telling me she cannot cut me a check without having my SS#. I am telling her cut my check and then we can make arrangements for her to pick up her computer. Who is right? I have no gurantee that she is going to pay me and why ask for my SS number now?
There were payment issues with them in the past. Don't know about now. nm

But weren't there payment issues??

WRONG! Their payment policy is (sm)
Pay periods run from 1-15th, and 16-30 or 31st of each month. Payment is twice monthly. PLEASE NOTE: For example; If you begin your employment with them today, July 20, you would work from July 20 to 31st (that's 12 days). You THEN add the 30 days, meaning you will be paid after having worked 41 days. If you're going to make a post regarding a subject matter as paramount such as this, make ***** sure it is accurate. I am reporting your post under the guidelines of being defamatory.

There have been payment problems with them. Hayseed
used to work for them but quit. Don't know if she has posted any of that here or just on another board.
I would send a demand for payment
that you have that as proof. Give them x amount of days to pay up or you will take further legal action. Also make note in the letter of the disconnected telephone number. Then you'd need to file a complaint for the money due.
Payment of taxes question
You don't have to wait and pay your estimated taxes quarterly? I thought it had to be done that way. Please let me know. Thanks.

Isnt this the company with intermittent payment

Rather than worrying about notice here, if my house payment
were in jeopardy, I'd hightail it to another position ASAP. Then, I would not put this company on my resume, and if you were there for a short time, just say you took time off for a brief period to research jobs. To me, my bread and butter need not be played with. And the creditors think that even more. Good luck to you, but whatever you do, remember it is not you, it is there are more cheesy MTSOs in this business than not.
Should you keep working as an IC when you haven't received payment from last month?
I am working as an IC and still have not received payment from last month. I also had to pay $75 deposit for their software. My MTSO recieved my invoice from last month and nothing. They just keep sending me work and I am still being nice. My sister said no money, no work and do not do the work until I get my check. Is she right? My MTSO has recieved my invoice and let me know they have it. Any suggestions?
Comments from last year said they were very unorganized and had payment issues. nm

There was a post about payment issues back in February. nm

They used to dock for errors and late payment was an issue. Don't know about recently. nm

My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
providers will be required to have EMR.
Time for a registered letter to them with a copy of your invoice for payment within 10 days or

Digital Dictation Services - MARY GLEASON, Stiff on Payment, BEWARE
This is a sole proprietor, who will let you try out for a couple weeks, and then stiff on payment. She is all nicey nice in the beginning but look out, she will rip you off big time. Do not work for unless you like working for nothing.

I've heard that DaVenture Health Partners was recently made an approved vendor, but as of today they are not posted on the eScription website yet.
Escription????
Has anyone out there worked on Escription? If so, what are your thoughts. Can you make any money at it since it pays so much less?
Escription
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL? Thanks in advance.

ESCRIPTION
Anyone working on escription, could you give me some advice on increasing my productivity. Sometimes, I do okay and then other days it is so slow going.
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
If you are employee as above, please tell me how things are there - is it a good place to work?
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
That says a lot. Thanks.
MDI-FL ad for escription MTs?
Anyone work there that can give me more details? What's the pay for editing there, dictators, atmosphere, etc? Also what about the radiology ad? Do they pay by report or by line? Thanks for any help.
Escription
Do any of you use this platform? Do you like it? Is is productive? Can you give a time frame for the learning curve? Any replys greatly appreciated.......thanks.
eScription
EditScript is Word based. It's very easy to learn. Works with Word AutoCorrect to save your shortchuts, etc. Very reliable from a technical point of view. Our facility just went live about 98 days ago, all 22 MTs are loving it. Most have already increased their productivity from our old ChartScript days. Does a really good job with speech recognition even with some horrible dictators - consistency among the MTs is key to that success.
Very nice platform, very MT friendly !
Escription
That sounds great. I appreciate you letting me know that.......I needed to hear something positive.
Escription
I used to work where they had escription but was paid hourly at that point because we had just gotten it. Sorry no help. Good luck!
What is escription? nm

Their pay is low for escription, which is
probably why they are always running an ad.
Escription
USUALLY, not always, the doctor puts in the MR number which automatically pulls in the patient name. Some companies have you do a type of search using that number to pull in the DOS, DOB, location, referring doc all at once.
Pay escription
I'm a little confused by the pay. It sounds like they convert edited lines into a percentage of typed lines so you aren't getting paid a per line for editing. I think.
