Escription - Push push push then.....nothing
I am becoming increasingly frustrated at how these companies that do Escription or any other VR program for that matter, take on new accounts that are backlogged and they push and push you to get on there and get it caught up. Then when everyone is humming along, all of a sudden, no work. How can anybody make a living with this kind of abuse?
There's not a push for VBC.
Phoenix MedCom I believe was one of the companies that tried it, and they're back to paying a regular 65-character line. The only reason anyone would change to VBC at this point is to try to weasel a bigger profit. We are on computers with line counting software, so all you do is enter your parameters. It's not beneficial in anyway to set it up to NOT count spaces. This whole thing is just silly and yet another way MTSOs are trying to pull one over. Luckily, the reputable ones are not even DISCUSSING this horrible idea.
Please don't try to push transcription for MW.
First of all, you must be new. It is impossible to get the lines because the work does run out each day. Now, why would I want to transcribe for MW at 8-1/4 cents per line? Do you think MW is the only place there is to work? There are still companies out there where quality does still matter!
I have enjoyed working for MW up to this point and I have one of the best supervisors going, but I have more respect for myself then to continue to stay here and work for $8 per hour, cleaning up trash, and running out of work so that it is impossible to get the incentive.
Just push tab instead of using mouse. NM

Exactly. Why the sudden push to VR?
Unless the company is in financial trouble. We never know because they never tell us anything. This is the only place we can ever find out information.
Whatever it is, I suspect it is time to move on...
That's what QA is for. No one is allowed to push

Its counterproductive to push VR
What are they thinking? They push VR, they sell VR. Client was happy with the status quo, and so were the MTs, but now the client gets to thinking, and they research VR on their own, and they buy Powerscribe, the docs do their own editing and presto, they no longer need Webmedx at all. Smart move guys! Brilliant!
How about concentrating on recruiting and KEEPING clients for a change, instead of this obsession with productivity? If all the clients leave due to getting sold on VR, typing nothing really fast cannot be very profitable.
That's why we need to push HARD to tax offshoring.
True, but why should anyone have to push themself
to earn the cruddy half of a half of a half a cent 'incentives' you think are so wonderful just so they can start earning the cpl their experience should be paid from the start.
WMX is a joke with their offers. I turned them down after hearing I passed their level 4 and ESL tests and was only being offered 7 cpl to work their hardest accounts.
I'll stick with my part time job at FN for 10 cpl for every line I type and not worry about being micro-managed.
Experienced MTs should stop selling themselves short by accepting such low offers attached to glorified incentives. There are places out there that offer better cpl to start.
Sounds like push come to shove.
And I am glad you shoved back. I wish more MTs would start doing that. When an MT (like myself) has to sit at a computer from 6:30 a.m. until 5:00, 8:00, and sometimes 11:00 just to make a living, and sometimes just to meet the minimum, it is push come to shove time. I stood up to my employer about this and I was laid off. I simply refused to do it anymore. I would not take PTO when there was no work. That PTO was earned by ME to use as I pleased. We were told to clock in and out, in and out as work was available. I checked with the Labor Board in their state, who said it was like asking a sales clerk to clock out if there were no customers in the store. They have the right to change your shift, but not make you keep clocking in and out for hours on end, month after month. I told my AM I wanted third party involvement because this was going to stop. I told them to give me work or let me go. They let me go, paying a nice severance, my PTO, and cooperated with my unemployment income until I found a new job. It took 2 weeks, I make more money, and the work is quite steady. I too do not recommend issuing ultimatums unless you are ready for the consequences. I wanted my life back and it has actually taken me a couple of months to let the stress go, and I wish I had done it sooner.
I don't push like I did years ago - I usually get about 1300-1400 (sm)
If I push, I can get about 1600.
Transtech has straight typing but do push for VR

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.
Doesn't AHDI also push E&O insurance?
Sounds to me like they are just trying to make more money off the MTs.
I agree with the other poster that it is the corporations that get sued, not the employees. Why spend a lot of money suing someone that doesn't have a dime to their name (the MT)? You don't. You go after the corporation with the large pockets.
The day the first MT gets sued over something like this is the day I get out. Why would any of us risk our financial future for a job that pays squat?
NO probs for me except when I push on wrong pedal and can't figure out why no one is speaking, lo
:l
not to mention, this feels like a push to make this just a part-time
job because it seems to be happening already. My partner drives a school bus and they do that to the drivers, they only allow them to work so-many hours a week, with absolutely NO benefits, other than the few the union has gotten them, and the bit higher pay scale. My partner also has had the union fight for his job many times especially when new managers would come in and right away want to 'clean house', get rid of the higher paid, senior drivers. It costs him 37 dollars a month though for 10 months and that is a drag too but in the long run, he does have some protection and the union is only as strong as its members. they are also in bed with management most of the time but these managers are usually nasty, aggressive, and would rather just hire their friends and family, and that is one thing I appreciate the union for, if nothing else...
you have to have an advocate - someone has to have our best interest in mind if we are ever to keep our jobs...
NEMT
Hello,
Does anyone have any info on NEMT aka New England Medical Transcription? I'm a newbie and am considering them. The pay is low but I really want to get some experience on my resume. Besides the pay, are they good to work for?
Thanks in advance for you help,
Dede
NEMT
Yes, aside from the low pay, they are great to work for. Always had work and a steady paycheck. Nice people. Great place to get experience. Good Luck!!
NEMT
So how long ago did your friend have the bad experience with NEMT? Just wondering since I was thinking of applying with them. Thanks, Debbie
NEMT
I currently work for NEMT - and I think it is a very good company. They DO offer direct deposit, and pay is NEVER late. The cpl is not great (7-8 cpl), but the work is very easy and no stress.
NEMT
I currently work for them and would recommend them. The pay is between7-8 cpl but the convenience and ease of dictators ..... priceless
nemt
i currently work for them and I love it! no pressure. I can't say for the ortho accts though I work on clinic. If you are able to get on with them you will appreciate that they don't bug you about the little stuff. Just get the work back on time. Pay is rather low but stable and I've never had a problem getting my money. They have direct deposit. Excellent company to work for..
NEMT
Let me say this was last year so it may be different now. You had to download the daily schedules with the demographic info. in them. (This was downloaded separately from the voice files). Then you had to match the demographics up with each sound file and type it in the report.
NEMT
I worked for them briefly, about two weeks last year. There was no training. They use Winzip. The people were nice, but you had to download schedules, etc, so the demographics took lots of time.
NEMT
They use VPN. Then you go to their FTP and download PDF file, Word Document, and the zipped voice files. No training, lots of QA, nice people, low pay.
NEMT
Easy platform, pay always on time, low ESL, extremely nice owners, easy docs. The downside? Poor start-up instructions, my supervisor was nasty and didn't like questions, many days of no work available, re-recording quality very poor at best, and often work was 3+ hours late being loaded. This would be a very good job for someone looking for a very small salary on the side for supplementation. Very, very wonderful owners. I would recommend them overall.
NEMT
Easy platform, okay sound quality, very nice owners, low pay.
NEMT
I was NOT referring to them getting back to you I was referring to getting the download files -- if people would READ a post then maybe they would understand - I went from IE6 to IE7 with NO luck downloading the files and now have Mozilla --READ people
NEMT
Any info on benefits, schedule flexibility, etc?
Thanks in advance.
NEMT
Thank you for your replies. I HAVE to have health insurance so can rule this one out.
NEMT
I also tested with this company and heard nothing back. I don't know how long it normally takes to get back to someone. They send the test Friday, I did is Saturday and sent it back.
NEMT
Sorry, it should be they sent the test on Friday
NEMT
I tested with them twice a few years apart and neither time did I hear back from them. Very rude.
NEMT
I tested with them on Friday of last week and heard from them today with an offer of employment.
NEMT does (sm)
New England Medical Transcription pays weekly. I believe they only hire ICs.
NEMT
Company and management are awesome. Management very flexible and understanding. Workload is good. sound quality great. Even have quarterly QA bonuses.
NEMT
If you do a search on here entering NEMT, you will find a lot of info. Seems to be a great company but with low pay.
nemt
is this place located in saugus, mass. a woman named barbara?
Did you tell NEMT about it?
NEMT used to...
not sure if they still do or not but most likely. Also, I did see ads that they are hiring on another board.
NEMT
They told me that up front. I would recommend working for them. Once you're off QA they don't bother you at all. I work late at night get my work done, get paid correctly every time and I'm not bothered by anyone. Everyone there that I've encountered is very nice and helpful.
NEMT
What company is this, may I ask? Does anybody know a link for them? I would love to be paid weekly to at least supplement my biweekly pay!
Thanks in advance!
NEMT
I believe ChartScript
NEMT
I have to put in my 2 cents and I would agree with LinK. I currently work for them and I absolutely love them. Its true that clinic work is paid at .07 cpl and hospital is .08 cpl. I personally work on a couple of their clinic accounts; the dictators are great (very few accents to deal with), once you get off QA you have all the flexibility you want as long as you get the work they send you back within the 24-hour turnaround. I've been there going on 3 years now and will not trade them for the world!! They do tell you up front that you don't get paid until like after the 2nd week, but once you start getting paid, you always get paid. Never late. Never a bounced check, and they will send you an email on Friday to let you know what your pay is. The fact that nobody is calling you to ask why aren't you working? and I see you're scheduled to work at such-n-such time, but I don't see you on....blah blah blah doesn't happen here. Just do the work they send you according to how many minutes YOU want...its wonderful....
NEMT
I just took a test for them, rather extensive, for a QA position and they didnt get back to me so I asked and they said I didnt get a high enough score for their company (that is what I was told anyway)
NEMT
Hey All!
Does anyone have any updated info on NEMT? Good company to work for? Do they pay on time? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
NEMT
I currently work for them and I am very satisfied. Pay is always on time every week and there have never been any issues with my pay. I have no complaints.
NEMT
Not worth applying at, system funky, pay scale low, and unorganized staff. I worked there for 8 weeks and couldn't take it anymore.
Working for NEMT
I worked there for several years and never got a raise, stayed at 0.07 cpl. Could not make enough to get by. Work was ok, not great. There is better out there.
NEMT platform
they use an FTP site to transfer work - I use IpSwitch - a little different than most platforms, but i like it. I believe the pay is by line - I don't do radilogy so can't be sure if it's different from clinic.
NEMT is a very good
company to work for. I have worked for them for over 2 years. They always have work, decent dictators, decent and dependable wages.
