Health Information Partners, based in Maryland. She used to take in newbies

In Maryland; that's the "MD" part of the company name.

If you mean MDI Maryland, no contest. Great company. NM

Does anyone know the name of a transcription company in Maryland that sends all of its work to
India. Just curious.
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.
Did you not know they are an Indian-based company?
That is a well-known fact in this MT industry. I tried it anyway, and lo and behold, hated it! Prefer working for Americans as I am an American.
Is you company based in central FL? nm

Is this company based out of Pittsburgh?
I know of a small national company out of Pittsburgh that I used to work for with basically one large account.
Christian-based company
The sad thing is, some Christians will use their so called Christianity to make themselves more trustworthy then they are.
It is client-based/ not company
This is set up by the client NOT the MTSO. I have worked on several different VPN accounts for Keystrokes. Some I can access the internet and others I could not. It depends on the hospital/clinic. If they set the security really high, you will not be able to access the internet. However, if the settings are lower, you would be able to do it. If it were up to Keystrokes, they would definitely want you to be able to access the internet.
how can you indicate NOT an offshore company based on what you "read?"

Best not to judge a company based on recruiter. (sm)
I just wanted to say that I am an MT and am related to a recruiter who actually recruits for several different companies at the same time. She isn't allowed to give out account names or even cities that the accounts are in by any of the companies she recruits for. She also is only the first step - if you seem like a good fit and pass the tests, then she puts someone from the actual company in touch with you to give you more information. I know of at least 2 other recruiters who also work for more than one company. They aren't on-site at the company, have no direct knowledge of the work flow patterns or accounts, and haven't ever actually even met the people they are recruiting for! Not all companies do this, but some of the smaller ones outsource their recruiting this way. My advice is this: If you don't get what you need from the recruiter, ask to speak to someone else who can tell you more.
Company I work for is based out of Texas
My main accounts are elsewhere but since the hurricane, the hospital we do there is not up and running so those girls are working on other accounts. It's slow everywhere. And yes, over-hiring is a big part of it.
any company bayscribe internet based program?
?
US based company? Focus MTs US=925, India=3800.
Anirudh Baheti (an Indian) started the company and sold it to Nuance for 58 million dollars last year.
Just an FYI, Mr. Baheti also owns a company called Focus Care which is a service that recruitis Indian nurses, trains them to pass the US nursing boards, and then places them in US hospitals to work for a much lower wage than an American nurse earns.
Mr. Baheti also owns/owned a company called Focus Enterprises which deals in industrial tubes and pipes.
Tell me again how this is US based company?
I see that CardioScribes is now advertising as a "Kentucky-based" company. sm
Since when is India in Kentucky? Having the Indian owner own a house in Kentucky does NOT make the company KY-based! I hate deception such as this.
Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
eSkribe claims to be based in Ohio, but is an Indian company
Check out their website at eSkribe.com.
The hospital may pay a line rate to the VR company based on usage...nm

MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

MDI-Maryland.
Do they supply you with equipment or do you have to use your own. TIA.
MDI-Maryland
MDI-MD is an excellent company...everything from the platform to the pay to the responsiveness of the staff. The accounts are not for beginning MTs, but for anyone with over 5 years experience in most hospital work types the company is a real jewel. Pay is every other Friday. Status is SE, so that self-employment taxes are paid by company. Great flexibility.
MDI-Maryland
I work for MDI and I love my accounts. I have had very few ESL. You are an independent contractor, that is all they hire. I started out at 9.5 cpl. The work on my account is easy. Teaching hospitals are not that different from others no matter what one may think. the account specifics are easy because they are the same on every account they have and the transcription is strictly verbatim. While, I am not that fond of verbatim, because of the docs have bad English skills, it's okay because then you know exactly what the QA is looking for. I did not test for the job. They do not perform audits as most nationals do. You set your own schedule, commit to your own amount of lines per day. It's the best company I have worked for and the people are great. The accounts are from Baltimore... I was leary of ESLs, but I have just about 4 or 5 of them and they are not that bad.
MDI-Maryland
MDI is a good company. however they do not pay extra for working nights,weekends, or holidays and you are expected to work 2 weekend days a month and 2 holidays.
Maryland
Do any hospitals in Rockville area hire local transcriptionists? TIA
MDI-MARYLAND
I have never received anything positive from an MDI QA person. I asked for some positive feedback and also asked that it would be nice if they had to say something positive. Their response We don't have time for that All it takes is 2 words Nice job or Good job. How hard is that? They spent a lot time telling the negative, very little time telling the positive.
MDI Maryland
Heavy on ESLs but good cpl. Good supervisers and QA is generally good, unless you get on their list, then they're bears. Very, very, very flexible and accommodating. Nice folks.
MDI-Maryland
I've read the forums but cannot seem to find positives or negatives on MDI-Maryland. Seems they are too good to be true. Any comments would be very appreciated.
MDI-Maryland
I saw at the bottom of the page a post by Rhonda concerning MDI and how happy she is there. There are two MDIs, one in Florida and one in Maryland. I work for MDI-Maryland and I LOVE it!! The people are great, the DQA person I had was so wonderful--not harsh, not insultive, not punitive, just very, very helpful! I have been a MT for over 30 years and have worked for a lot of different places, but MDI is home from now on for me. I have never worked for a MT company who puts their employees first like this company does. They also pay very well and all MTs are SE status, which gives me all the flexibility I need. If you want a good MT home, go to MDI-Maryland.
MDI-Maryland does. nm

MDI-Maryland
Does anyone know if this company is currently hiring? I think you are only an IC. Any employees out there with any info? Thank you.
MDI-Maryland
I was just hired along with a friend of mine by MDI-Maryland and just had their training and still am on full QA. I think they are still hiring. They have a lot of work. Status is statutory employee, not fully IC, so they pay half of the taxes.
MDI-Maryland
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

MDI Maryland Pay
Hi - Just started with MDI in Maryland but having trouble making as much as my old job. Can anyone tell me how long it took to get up to speed? Thanks in advance.
MDI Maryland
So far, so good for me. I'm still in training phase but they've been very quick to answer any questions, the platform is a breeze, and the pay isn't bad.
I've got 18 years of acute care experience and am a CMT, so I've seen a lot of mediocre, especially in the last few years. My early opinion - this company is a keeper, no offshoring, flexibility of schedule, excellent communication. Worth trying to get your foot in the door! : )
MDI- Maryland
Anyone working for them as a statutory employee? How are they to work for. Is work plentiful? Anyone working on Lanier account?
MDI Maryland
MDI is a wonderful company to work for. I've been with them on and off for over 5 years - after reviewing a lot of the offers on this site, as well as MT's pros and cons on other companies, I feel blessed to be working for a such a great company!
Good luck!
MDS in Maryland
Good afternoon. I'm looking for a part-time position and would love to apply with this company. Can any current employees tell me where to go to apply? If there's a referral program, please email me. I have 11 years' experience in acute care and ER, all specialities except radiology. I currently work full time and desire part time now.
No, MDI-MD (Maryland)

MDI-Maryland
I have been at MDI-MD for a few years and am happy there. If you are looking for employee status, this isn't your place, but I love the totally flexible schedule, being able to work without someone looking over my shoulder constantly, and the good pay.
MDI in Maryland
Hi. Does anyone work for this company and have any positives/negatives? Thanks in advance!
yes, that is in Maryland, the one
with good posts (and some not so good lately). and they do NOT send work overseas. I work for them and am very happy with the company. e/m me if you wish.
MRC Maryland?....nm
xx
yes - Maryland nm
yes
MDI-Maryland
What kind of work do they have - is it acute care, clinic, ER, or other? Also, they just hire IC right, no benefits? Is the work done through the Internet or a phone line?
Thanks :)
Yes it was the MDI in Maryland sm
see my post above. I don't know what they told you when they hired you but this is what they are doing now. On top of that when i got the above e-mail I ignored it because I could not accommodate their rules but they called me anyway and I had not tested etc. Im glad you are happy with them but this is not what they are advertising now. Just another conpany trying to get around the rules. As long as MTs accept this kind of treatment it will keep happening.
MDI-Maryland
What is the minimum number of hours you can work for MDI-Maryland after you slowly get started with the five reports?
