again, you are wrong; depends on account; if you're doing demos, then
nm
I think it would depend on the account...
I've heard they have lots of accounts on the Lanier system, which requires the unlimited long distance, but I have never asked. Not sure on the satellite part.
That must depend on the account
I have made more with them than any other company and I have tried a lot of other companies.
It may depend on your account
I was told when I was hired a few months back that I needed to work either Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat, thereby working 1 weekend day every week. But that could be dependent upon the account you are assigned.
It does depend on the account
Just make sure you get more than one account. Some have more work than others. If you want to email me which account your getting put on then I can tell you what that account has been looking like.
I would think it would depend on the account.
Not all accounts require weekend coverage.
Must depend on account at OSI
I've worked there for 6 months and love it. No problems. I don't feel micromanaged. I have plenty of work and it seems to me like they basically just leave you alone and let you work.
May depend on account, but no 12
hour window, and again depending on account and shift worked there may be some flexibility, but if I was 15 minutes late for my shift they were calling me. It only happened once. All the times I was early or worked OT without OT pay didn't count for anything.
Must depend on the account
I've never had a problem making the line count for the pay period, whether VR or straight transcription, working an 8-hour day.
Guess it must depend on the account.
It's going to depend on your account
My account is pretty busy all the time, except for the holiday periods, when everyone is slow. Doctors take time off, too. I've only had it be busy at Christmas and then this past July 4th. The rest of the time, the work is really steady. They have a variety of accounts, though. The accounts they are hiring for, I believe, are for full time, so I am going to assume (!) that they have full time work to offer someone.
I think e-mail might depend on what account you do. SM
I got eight last Friday and 6 on Saturday. That's a lot as far as I am concerned and they all same the same thing.
As far as PT scheduling, it would depend on the account, but SM
with regard to the PT incentive plan, there is a certain number of lines that have to be done on a weekend day. I don't have it all in front of me right now to be more specific than that. Maybe someone else can help with that... Sorry :-/
Amphion use ExText or does it depend on the account?
Thanks.
Yes. Mine was in my account yesterday. Did you? nm

Mine was in my account yesterday. Was
thinking payday was the 21st though.
I too have asked for a different account as mine of 3 years..sm
has now consistently been out of work...as well as my secondary! Up until recently I never even had time to do my secondary as my primary had tons of work but suddenly neither have. I have emailed Dorothy and indicated I needed more only to be told things will pick up. This is not a holiday thing as it has been happening for months now. I am looking for at least another part-time job which may turn into full time. I think we are getting the run-around and they have over hired and want to keep it that way so the reports are running a few minutes behind the dictators. Also, now that they have over hired they probably don't care too much if some of us have to leave! Bad situation for what was a great company.
I currently am on a C-phone account...mine stays pretty busy (sm)
If they are offering you 2 accounts I would probably take it. I wish I had a backup for the times when mine is slow, which is rare. The C-phone accounts aren't bad but I worked on Docuscribe at Medquist and LOVED it! For what it's worth, I'm happy at KS. Good luck!
That is really low.... I wonder if they pay for demos,
headers, footers, templates, etc?
Download the Demos first and try them out...

And YOU get paid for demos??...nm
The demos aren't that bad, but the company s/m
I worked for them, and what the others have said is true. The manager is an absolute nightmare. The most demeaning person I have ever dealt with. As for the demographics, all you do is enter the patient name and DOB. If the doc doesn't dictate it, you just flag it and the demos deparment fixes it.
NO demos to fill and a lot better than .0835!!!
I have great benefits, no demographics to fill in (unless error and maybe a MR# and name), and make in the double digits for my line count rate. Any MT with a lot of years acute care experience that settles for less than 0.09 or 0.095 is crazy. These jobs are out there.
I worked for Amphion a couple of years ago and I only stayed about 2 months due to the demographic issues.
Good Luck to all!!
key skills have nothing to do with demos on different accounts
nm
Alltype's demos a little more complicated than that...
You sure do sound like management..as far as the working their way up part a good part of Alltype's MTs are in India so that is either one farflung corporate ladder or you are sadly misinformed which would make you a good candidate for Alltype management.
Amphion....ask about unpaid demos
nm
Could that have been a result of not paying for demos, headers, footers? NM

Filled out ...
online app on Monday; got an email that afternoon inviting to test. Tested next day (Tue). Phone call from recruiter on Thursday and she emailed data sheet that day and had contracts/paperwork FedEx'd that day. Rec'd FedEx on Friday (yesterday). Returned it Sat (today - 7/16). Waiting for equipm/training next week!!
That job has already been filled
They post jobs like that because they feel it is the PC thing to do but 9 times out of 10 they already have someone in place. That's the way OSi does business unfortunately. If they have it in for you, you will most assuredly not be promoted by them. They promote from within meaning people they don't have it in for.
already filled in with me too
the data is already filled in for the company that I work for also. I don't work for Allegiant, but do use EMDAT. I'm paid for two lines before I type one character.
Yes, had a contract and filled out sm
a 1099. Received checks without taxes deducted. All of a sudden deducted taxes, and told me I was staying employee like it or lump it. From what I read on these boards, this company is always low-balling someone.
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know
nm
As I was out to get my prescriptions filled
Diskriter called. I sent them my resume Sunday. The thing is, I work for a hospital that is going to VR and templates. They are cutting back on MTs. They are leaving the CMTs, higher producers and the ones with the most experience to do the leftover MT work. They offered me a position in medical records. I will be doing the corrections, scanning charts and other clerical things as well, which would be fine, but they are going to give me a flat hourly rate at $11/hour. I made more on production. I will be driving 40 miles in-house. I drive a gas guzzling Chevy Suburban. Plus, I will be getting up early early, having to get dressed, get the kids dressed and out the door so I can be there by 7:30. If I am late they will write me up. I forget how many write-ups I can get before they give me to boot. I know for a fact that they are not as flexible with their hourly employees as they are with their production employees. It makes me nervous. On the other hand, I will be using different skills other than MT. I won't be making much profit though.
I filled out an application
I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
Jobs filled up
These days with all the people applying for jobs in this field, it is not surprising they filled up the position in a few days. There are many more MTs than positions at good companies (note I said good companies). If it were me, I'd send an e mail or call asking that they keep my resume. You never know when they will need someone because of becoming exceptionally busy with snowbirds in Florida (they have accounts there). My 2c.
Demographics already filled
 Allegiant is a wonderful company to work for. she ALWAYS pays on time with direct deposit. All of her accounts are in the database and there are no patient lists used whatsoever. I have used Emdat for 6 years and I am very happy with the amount of money I make.
I filled in for a short time . . sm
I worked for them about 3 years ago. They have a WP platform I believe. I thought it was a little fiddly, but not bad. Lots of OPs, big hospitals. They didn't bug me, just let me work. It's easy to make the lines if you're experienced. They really know what they are doing. If I needed the work, I would go back to them without hesitation.
She posted that all the spots were filled now, anyway. nm
s
That's exactly it - the shifts everyone wants (day shift, MF) are filled but the others sm
are open. Should we just not fill them because YOU don't have enough to do? My STM sent out info regarding what shifts were open and asked if anyone was interested in taking on that account. Obviously not enough people were interested, meaning they have to hire to fill those weekend and night shifts.
She has posted that the spots are filled
xx
I just had 2 meds filled and never paid a dime.

Do you give it back with the blanks filled in?
I send things to QA and never hear back until I prod and prod. This is a waste of my time as well only to hear from QA don't know, we sent through with the blank. If you are filling in the blanks, then you should be giving it back to the MT with the mistakes filled in and also a way for the MT to relisten. JMO. Is this MT doing the same doc or is she being thrown new ones to learn each day? As far as the timeframe for when will she learn, there are a lot of variables to that question in my opinion. Sorry to sound sort of like huh?, but you seem like you are sort of complaining about the job you chose. If you do not like QA, why not try going back to being an MT. JMO. Good luck with the MT though..
Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay. I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled. But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
I filled out the paperwork and late the same day they called
to setup an interview the next day and I was immediately offered a position. They have a large account coming on-line very soon and are trying to train several people too, so there may be a backlog. I was hired 2 weeks ago and start training later this week.
I was told the oncology positions were filled already. nm
nm
Just filled out my new hire paperwork today-sm
I'm glad to hear encouraging things. I'm really excited! I'm just P/T so all the OT stuff and what not does not apply to me anyway.
and was emailed immediately that the position had been filled, ad is now gone..hmm (nm)
asdf
So all three you just filled in the blanks and didn't need special equipment?
The MT I work with and I might test with them this week.
Think they posted that all spots were filled 2 days after posting
s
Yikes..5 cpl and they filled the positions..pathetic..okay all you out there that stooped so low to
accept that rate, please raise your hand LOL.. That is SHOCKING..who could live on 5 cpl. I think I'd be insulted and humilated and DESPERATE to accept that rate. I'm pretty sure they are getting more than 5 cpl from their clients. You can bet they are making more than enough by having the slaves work for free practically.
How many have filled applications out with what you make and test and never hear
 anything back. I wonder if you make a decent 10 cpl or something that is the end of hearing back from them thinking you want that much or more when you fill out the application.
I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test. I thought what is this. This all took hours of my time. I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again. Been there and done that.
