To Older but maybe not wiser
I don't know where you have been working but most companies require the MTs to look up ADT and names of physicians. I have yet to find one that pays extra for this. Besides, if you are good, this doesn't take that much time!
Also, I think Transcend's QA does a darn good job with feedback, and yes, they are able to decipher the more difficult dictators!
I sure am glad you no longer work at Transcend with your lousy attitude! I hear Medquist and Spheris are hiring. I'm sure they would love to have you and MGR there, LOL.
Older and wiser than you by
16 years, is that ok now? I learned long ago you either suck some things up or no job. I learn well.

a GROSS line is not counted by character. geez. what kind of people am i dealing with on this board.

acct supervisor/managers
do you have one or multiple accounts to manage ?? at our company each acct manager has about 2-3 accounts to keep track of, just curious how others do it, i.e. one acct per manager or several per manager

already been assigned my account and supervisor, but I haven't done any training yet. My computer crashed since talking with the recruiter, so I am waiting on that. I will only be PT because want to stay with my current employer (MQ-7 yrs), until I know things will work out.

Thanks. In the older posts, it looks like people were running out of work a lot...SM
Is this still the case? These posts are mostly from 2005 and 2006, so they are really old. Are the flexible with scheduling? Do they pay on time and treat their MTs well? I just want to know before I even think about applying! Thanks!
you'd be wiser
to ask for a mentor, and be paid for your work. I think that would get you much farther along, more effectively.
wiser now
I have never worked for Transcend but what you say makes common sense. If there is one weakness in many at-home MTs (and I say this lovingly) is that some of them have no business sense. I always have anything such as a contract, etc. reviewed by legal counsel. Of course it is expensive, but not nearly as expensive as not having something reviewed and getting into a mess. I think that, especially in a situation such as a merger, legal review of any contract I signed would be mandatory. Not saying that anyone has done or would do anything wrong, not at all. I am just saying that it is much easier (and less expensive) to protect one's hiney from the get-go. Good luck, and as they say in the Air Force, COVER YOUR SIX O'CLOCK!
Well I am out of work but my supervisor
NM
Hit my head and now I am wiser!
I was offered an IC job, which I turned down because as I explained to them, if I am going to commit to over 12,000 per pay, I would like to be an employee. They agreed and asked if I could be an IC for one week and start employment on 06/30. Well, I have been working as an IC for nearly a week for them. I have not seen any employment papers or IC paperwork. I simply turned off their software until further notice. I get the feeling when Monday roll around, it will be a different story and I would have helped them clear up a lot of ESLs and other work that is behind. I will not work anymore for them until I see some kind of paper work. I do not even have a logon ID, have not filled out any kind of paper work, etc.
I lost an acct with MQ, called the hospital and they told me who had the acct. I chose not to go wi

if we have our own accounts we do not have a supervisor, we do all the work.

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
Very happy. Great supervisor and more than enough work. sm
Pay is good compared to other companies. Plus, pay is always on time.
More careful about running out of work? HA! I once had a supervisor (sm)
that said, Should we ___ them reports? Please, people, use your heads.
No work, my supervisor was horrible to work with
I worked for OSi for about a month, and during that time, I had little to no work. They kept saying things were going to get better, but I didn't have the time or $$$ to wait it out. I was just glad I left my old company on good terms, because I had to back so I wouldn't starve. I am also a very easy going person, but didn't get along with my supervisor at all. I felt she tried to stir up things, and never got back to me when I asked questions. Maybe their work has picked up since I was there 
Not on cardiology acct, but do work for SGS.
Can I help?
May I ask? Do you who have no work do acute, ASR, have more than 1 acct? (sm)
The company I work for has had people who didn't have work while there was tons of OT in other accounts. Come to find out some of them (not all) refused to do ASR or Voice Recognition, they did only clinics or ERs and refused to flex their hours to help get their lines in.
Is this pretty much the case with Webmedex or do you think they have just over-hired MTs and don't have enough work to go around.
I see they are hiring again, that is why I am asking, not to start anything. Please do not be offended by my questions.
Thanks.
It's how many reports you sent to QA for each acct. you work on. NM

Ok, let me rephrase that: We are on OT *and* have a ton of work on my acct. nm

Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I
s
Ask to be put on another acct. I'm part time and work
full time hours because our account is always behind.
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
More than 1 backup acct? Able to work more than 8hrs or not? Is OT
s
I know the MTs that work this acct. load them from a pool. However, sm
I think that is a very good idea - batching docs and/or specialties together. I wonder why they don't do that, and I am going to ask! Thanks! If you saw my post above, there are a total of 37 specialties on my list, made up of approx. 4-5 docs in each specialty, so I'm looking at learning well over 100 doctors in only 40 hrs. of training? That's a joke.
I work for MTSO and know the hospital acct
I work on is a big one, just do not know how many MTs that on this particular account. When you say you correct only erroneous text I am not really sure what you mean by this. I correct everything I see that is an error so can you explain further as far as erroneous. Do you read the entire report as it goes or ?
So does anyone work on the acct that DiskRiter is hiring for now? It's in Florida

I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
Usuall plenty of work - demand a secondary or tertiary acct. nm

Yes. I used an older ad that they had up. nm

Older MTs
I don't think any MTs are held in very high regard these days, old or young. I think that most companies take the attitude that if we want to leave we should stick our finger in a bucket of water and pull it out, that'll show us how much we'll be missed. Used to be there was truly a shortage of MTs. Now we hear that the companies must offshore because there aren't enough qualified MTs. But look on these boards and on the jobs board and check out the number of MTs literally begging for work and that includes those who are employed but can't get enough work to make a living. Sad indeed.
You may be right. I'm older myself SM
and the picture I get of myself or any of my MT friends out robbing banks or such is pretty darn funny. :).
Seriously, I know the issue with women committing crimes is mainly due to drugs, but I feel everyone is due a second chance.
older TT MT
Really how nice!
All Older MTs with 25+ Y sm
Anybody out there have any experience with Diskriter? I have 35 Y experience and am a 23 Y veteran of MQ.......left in 2006. I was there when it was Transcriptions Limited and then went to MQ and things were GREAT. But,,,,,,,we all know what happened.
The reason I ask opinons of experienced MTs is because it makes a difference. I do not mind major medical centers, I do not mind ESLs, OP reports and all the rest. Its part of the job.
This company has interviewed me for a full time position, NO VR, plenty of work, etc. etc. Sounds like what I was use to. Anybody have any experience with them?
I don't want to hear about how all you get is ESLs, OP reports, crap work, etc. I already know about all that and to me its part of the job always has been and always will be. Just general info if you have it.
If you have less than 25 Y I want to hear your experience too. I just put that number in because after that many years, we have done it all and seen it all and know that ESLs, OPs, major medical center crap goes with the territory!
Who were they? Was it a MT company older
than 12 years ago?
I'm curious. I'd like to learn a lot more about TT. As I read these boards, I wonder and pray that TT never outsources AND is never bought out by another company-- at least not until I retire. 
I'm older than the AAMT by 5, they were
pitching at start their aim was to get us recognized (and paid) as professionals within the medical community. In turn we could network, and keep abreast medically through continuing education materials, seminars, classes, etc., to ensure we were worthy of same, and respected.
That was 1981, if you know what I mean. At this point, I'd be happy with the labor board taking some initiative here.
I know this is an older post....
but I can answer your questions the best I can. I work for Spheris, but I've only worked there for a few months.
1. As far as I know, they only hire employee status. Like I said, I've only worked there a few months, so I don't know every little thing about the company.
2. They give you a primary account, and you can have secondary and terciary accounts for when work gets thin in your primary. I personally have never had to work my secondary or terciary accounts yet. There has always been work on my primary.
3. Yes they have a minimum. 10,200 per 2 week pay period.
4. You HAVE to use their equipment. They have their own platforms and computers that they send to you. They come with the whole 9 yards (footpedal, headphones, Shorthand, keyboard, etc.).
5. As for the starting pay, I think it's 6 cpl. Don't quote me on that though. It gets updated all the time. It also depends on what level you get hired on on, i.e., acute care, clinic work, etc.
Hope I helped a little!!
All of a sudden I wish I was/were? older???
Too long to retirement, too old to go back to school.
Better dust off the exercise equipment and find a new husband
LOL ROFLOL
Anyone work for Breitner. They keep sending me an email to work for them. What
do you know about this company at present.
They pay older longtimers 8CPL and
Also, you will be paid only half that when you are switched over to VR, which all accounts will be in the coming months. Also, no incentives for hiring date after November.
I must agree with you. Seems harder the older you get.sm
When I was in my 20s, sure I could do 1800+ a day, but it's a different story now that I'm in my 40s. Sore wrist and fingers. Forearms tight and painful.
IT SUCKS!!
PS: Chinamom, sorry, I didn't mean to reply by email. Clicked the wrong thing by mistake. I must be getting old!!
Older posts were negative. Not sure why. nm

Ok, I guess you are older that you forgot
but you bet me $1.00 that you were older. You, not me, did that. No, you shouldn’t care about my age, you were being sorta rude above in the fact you first said about betting $1.00. I will try to refresh your memory since Alzheimers seems to be kicking in some- the post was about how folks scared about 9/11 and you came in with a post on that, on the main board. Take it easy, dearie.
Were the MTs let go older/higher-paid, and
