I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
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!
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.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

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....

Anyone working on the new cardiology account for Archivus out of NC?

sorry..that was Cardiology Transcription Servces (tired)

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.

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.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
You dont have to tell me..
I see it quite clearly. Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself. Trust me, I know the game they are running. I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now. All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON. I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad and angry .
I dont know why
WHY what did your lawyer think?
dont do it
there are jobs out there that are more dependable. Dont go there. Not right now. Honestly, the system is new and there have been many new changes implemented. They are still in the process of making changes and it is a mess. The system has so many bugs in it that it is constantly going down and screwing up. There are times that it is down for hours and hours. You cannot depend on getting your line count in. Also, there is lack of work on many, many accounts way too often. They are going to editing and you will only get paid about 4 cpl. It is a mess. Please look somewhere else.
Dont do it. Dont take the job. You will
really regret it. I was laid off from my hospital job and went to work for a national and it has been the absolute worst experience. My income has gone down so much that I leave the answering machine on now because the bill collectors are calling me every day. The security of knowing that you are paid by the hour no matter what makes all of the difference in the world. When the national has platform problems, computer problems, no work (which happens frequently), etc. you are NOT PAID. You just have to sit and wait until THEY fix it. The benefits are nothing like you get working in house and they are so expensive. I just really think you should consider all of these factors and understand that it is very different from working for a hospital.
At least it has been for me, they dont TELL you to sit and
and I dont if I dont want to. If I have otherthings to do, I do them. Places to go, I go. As FT though, I do make up the hours or use PTO (which I hate doing) and really more now since my company took any PTO over 40 hours we had not used as of 12/31.
I dont know but it
is a paid ad, so they have to still be in business. They can't be too hard to find on Google or they would damage their business dealings. Sorry, I just saw the banner and knew people were questioning their existence.
I just dont do it
I personally do not accept a job that pays low. I can understand if you need the job yesterday; but with forethought and planning, a seasoned Transcriptionist should NOT work for peanuts EVER! I try not to accept less than 10 cpl, period; 9 cpl is really easy account as a subcontractor of course.
DONT DO IT! nm

DONT DO IT
DON'T DO IT...they ARE the same company as in the Phillipines operated by a very nasty CEO that will NOT pay you. She has been sued so many times for non payment. Not good people to work for.
DONT DO IT
YES they are the same company in Tennessee and the Phillipines. I use to work in both offices...trust me...DONT DO IT...very nasty owner, short fuse and will NOT pay you!
Dont ask, dont tell. nm
