Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm

Anyone have recent info on Cymed in Virginia? Oldest posts are from 09/2005- TIA
I have been with MDI-MD since the end of 2005 - and I
totally agree with the comments by anon. I enjoy working for them. Fantastic, caring people to work for. Communication is excellent and far above what I have experienced in the past. Replies are practically instantaneous via email with any questions, problems, etc., you might have to the liaison of your account - same with telephone help via technical support. Have normal slow-downs in work over the Holidays, but I'm kept extremely busy on a daily basis on the account that I'm on - usually doing more than my commitment, though not required to do so. Should there ever be a lack of work on my account and I wanted an additional account, all I would need to do is ask. Please note -- I am on ONE ACCOUNT -- not 5, 10, or more !! Since being hired, I can honestly say that I now love being a medical Transcriptionist again - something I had lost during my prior 12 years with another company :o)
MDI-FL Any 2005 MDI-FL MTs still around who can
Transcend took over MDI-FL in January of 2005. Is there anyone who transferred to Transcend from MDI-FL in 2005 that is still working for Transcend or can remember back then, and could shed some light on how the transition went and answer some of the questions like:
1. Did your cpl change? Higher? Lower?
2. Did you have to go to a set schedule?
3. Did you get to stay on the same accounts that you had at MDI-FL?
Any other information you could share would sure be great.
Thank you.
They last had an ad here in 2005 for 8 cpl. No other info. nm

Their last ad here was from 2005. They may have folded or
?
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway. Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
In 2005, starting pay was 6 cpl for experience. Don't

I cannot answer for February of 2005.
I was not employed there then. I have been there a little over 2 years. I can say when I started at Axolotl there were maybe 10 to 15 acute care MTs. We have more than doubled in size since then. I do know that if we had work outsourced to other companies, we would not have the amount of work to transcribe that is always here.
Axolotl is also an EMR provider and if you go to their website you can read all about that area of their business.
In my 15 years of being a trancriptionist, I have never found a better company to work for and this is why:
1. They treat their MTs like they should be treated.
2. They compensate MTs the way they should be compensated.
3. The platform is great.
4. We do not run out of work and they do not overhire.
5. They offer great benefits.
6. Great management and editors.
After reading so many horror stories on this site about some of the nightmares other MTs have gone through with other companies, plus the fact I have had a few myself, I am BLESSED to find such a great company.
You are still wrong, I'm sorry; that manual is from 2005 sm
All the managers sent out information saying it was at their discretion. Instead of posting here, why don't you just ask your manager if it is true?
2005 MW Social Security Statement
Thank you very much for alerting us to this.
I am ex-MW employee. I too am going to report MW as my 2005 SS statement was not reported. I hope they are FULLY investigated.
I am going to call SS in the morning. Who should I notify in the Department of Labor?
I also did not have my state taxes taken out by MW, but I was required to pay my state taxes as if I were an IC in my state, even though I was an employee in this company.

I didn't work there way back in 2005, so
I can't comment on your personal experience, but for me in 2008:
1. If you run out of work, you are paid downtime. You can do backup acounts also. Not sure about the written consent but there are a lot of us who work on other accounts.
2. Sample reports: The program allows you to bring up previously typed reports by experienced MTs by doctor, patient, report type, etc., so the MT has endless samples.
3. Supervisor currently, from what I can tell anyhow, has a lot of contact with hosital including informing them of problem dictators and other issues that directly impact the MT's production, etc.
4. I think they changed the insurance to cover out-of-area employees, but don't quote me on that.
Personally I've had a very good experience with the FL account. Nothing is perfect, but I'm very satisfied.
Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm

Sounds like me, I got it today and I haven't worked there since 2005

There have been several posts about the WI
one about MTs not getting paid. That would be all I needed to know.
Just because someone posts...sm
something positive about a company it doesn't mean they're in management. Think about it this way - if people were really as unhappy as they claim on these boards with any company they're working for then they'd be out getting another job - because whining here isn't going to change a thing. Remember that one person's opinion doesn't represent everyone that works at any place - regardless of the industry. The only way people effectively complain is by talking to management along with ideas to solve whatever problems they're complaining about. That's true anywhere - regardless of whether you work at the local grocery store, bank, this industry or any type of job.
There are plenty of people at Transcend who have been on the new platform for several months now and they love it. Instead of basiclly calling them liars or presuming they're in management why not get on the internal forum and ask them about their experiences in learning the new system. The same would be true at any company.
Do you believe everything in these posts?!
People can write ANYTHING on here. There are some really hateful MTs who just want to cause problems and make others miserable.
I wouldn't take anything on this board for gospel truth, period! It's fun reading and sometimes can make you think about something but I would NEVER use it as reference or as a guide for my thinking about MQ or any other company! Please don't be upset by posts by God-only-knows-who with who-knows truth to them!
see the other posts
where it is explained. Pt in a nutshell is anything under 39 scheduled hours. Now you have to decide, do i committ to 8, 16 or 24 hour weekschedule?? Floating around when you want to is no more. But it doesn't say what to do ifyou sign up for 16 and want to do 20. You have to ask them that. It does specify that OT is more than 40 hours a week.
oh. ok. thanx. someone else posts as you
on MQ board and posts as if they work for them too, blasting everyone. just curious. thanx.
I can't believe the posts below,
the poster is just venting. A good stress relief. Why so irritable with each other.
There are still posts
If you archive there are still posts about them on here so I am not sure about what you meant by that. I do think they discourage from posting on boards but if it is anonymous no way they would know who did it. They want you to take things up with them directly but getting communication from them sometimes is like pulling teeth.
This is regarding those posts below....
I don't see what all the fuss is about, I heard back from them today and I'm all set to go! There was about a two period where I didn't hear from them either and it turned out that they were moving from one office to another. I say just be patient and persistent.
Not JLG but there were some posts further down or
now maybe on second page regarding their platform. You might want to either scroll down or go over to the second page

I always look through this board's posts when I am looking for a position. I have mostly found it to be helpful. There are a few occasions when I have read posts by an angry poster to let others know about their experience and I think that is very, very important, but would like the anger and rant left out. I have noticed that more positives and defending comments appear to be from from recruiters and others in management than from MTs.
That much??!!?? LOL! See below posts.

Where did the QT posts go?
It is funny that a company that has nothing to hide is removing posts. Why are these being removed?
I have been following your posts and...
i think you made a wise decision. you can email if you want.
where did those posts go
I came out to review the old posts on TT line count and they were all gone. What happened to them?
see posts below

There have been several posts about them
the last month - all bad. They are an Indian run company. I don't remember the other details, but there was not one good comment about them.
Why do all of the OSI posts
Other company posts are not removed. What, are people not allowed to know what OSI's record is? This is simply not fair to people in need of a job and fall for the OSi promise only to be taken by them. Please explain to everyone the reason for the post removal. Thank you.
and i e/m'd them already re the posts.

old posts
I know how to do a search, but my question is WHY???? Why do you feel it was pertinent to my question, which you did not answer. I was asking about an ongoing monthly charge and not a deposit.
There were posts saying
management was not liking the yahoo group too much although someone said management was posting. Maybe it's locked.
And I keep seeing posts about how they pay
so well - Ha. Their accounts are horrible and at 7 cpl you'll starve or go crazy.
Sorry, I'm still not sure which posts they are. sm
If none of those conditions were present, then perhaps it was just a server error.
If that is the case, there's not much we can do about it, so please do post them again.
Does anybody who posts on here ever have
a company they would just like to stay with for the long-term? This is a question which has been bugging me lately about these company and main board forums.
I personally worked for a hospital for many years, which downsized. Went through 2 years working for a service which fooled with my line count and benefits, and when I left there last year, I had a hard very year with services in one way or another not keeping promises. Now I have finally found a position where I can say I plan to just stay put. No it is not perfect. Yes, the work runs low. But there has to come a time to put that resume to rest.
Is there anybody else out there who is deciding to do the same? I am not looking for pollyanna answers. Just another line of questioning on this board got me to thinking.
We are always complaining about how bad the pay is, how things are outsourced, how things are not the way they used to be in this business. I agree with all those things. But I say I still have a job where as many are jobless in our country today. I say I still have the ability to pay my bills. No we don't eat out anymore. But with this job I don't pay for daycare, I can participate in school field trips, and I can take a nap now and then without any penalty to my career. I also don't worry about gas prices.
Post negative comments here if you wish. Put in good ones. I just want to see if I am the only one on this board in the last 6 months at least who has finally decided to count blessings and keep my job and quit looking!
