To my knowledge, the owner still lives in India, simply owns a home here. sm
The work is received FROM the Indian office and sent TO the Indian office. They used to hire only American MTs, but then started outsourcing to a company in India (big surprise).
I understand what you are saying, though. And if they are honest about it, then it is the choice of the MT as to whether he/she wants to work there. The fact that they blatantly misled in their ad angered me, but then again, I have been an MT long enough, nothing should surprise me. I guess I have done my part, and I have no particular axe to grind so I should just leave this alone now. I just was shocked when I saw the ad.
Good luck to all of us in finding a job that treats us well and pays us even better (smile).

This is on-site, unfortunately. Sounds like a great job.

But there are some people who are so unhappy with their lives...
it makes them feel better to complain about other people or things that have nothing to do with them...thank god I am not that crabby..my husband would probably divorce me....LOL
Well you live in Maine where KL lives

My godson lives in Glenholden near Philly..sm
I find the people in western PA (Pitts area) are just so nice (just my opinion folks, no flaming necessary *grin*), whether it be shoppers, employees in the shops and/or restaurants...and especially on the road - I have spent so much time there and nobody seems to be into road rage (thank goodness!) - but my godson lives on the east side of PA and loves it....as does a good friend near Philly airport area (Jersey side but 10 minutes from Philly airport) in Collingswood, NJ.
Best of luck whereever you decide to go!! 
Point is, she lives in an ivory tower
She got Oprah to buy her line, so now she's famous, whether any of her advice works in the real world or not. She certainly doesn't work in the real world anymore. Yes, you can value yourself and your skills highly, but if nobody is paying 20 cpl plus benefits for transcription, then you're not going to get it no matter what you think of yourself. You can keep banging your head against that wall, you can accept the going rate or you can do something else - like write an advice guide for medical transcriptionists. If Dr. Oz brings it to Oprah, you've got it made whether any of it works or not.
New accounts - I doubt if we will ever run out of work again in our lives!!! Yes can have a backup

This book is going to change our lives and it is very important to share information with each other

As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
You are correct. The state that rules is the state the employee lives in.
My state laws has is spelled out in their Code. If another state does not withhold, they are fined heavily and if they don't withhold for years, their fines are pretty bad. I worked for a Florida co that did not withhold income tax for my state even after I brought it to their attention in the state code. They kept saying that they would eventually and never did. After two plus years and when I left, I made it known to my state all the conversations, the state refunded me all late fees they charged me and then said they were going after the company in Florida because they had many employees in our state. They deserved it. They knew better.
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too.
Thanks! and not in California
Thanks for the good wishes. We are not in California-we live in Nevada. Like I said, I've known her for years and she's always known I was a transcriptionist--thank goodness! In light of the decline in pay we've seen in recent years, this was just a great offer!
DRC, California
Any info. on Digital Records Corp. in California?
DRC California
Have been there almost 2 years. They have been good to me. Work is good - less ESL's than most. Benefits could use a little work, but better than some companies. Insurance is expensive for dependents. Hope this helps.
WPU in California
Has anyone ever heard of WPU out of California? Thida Win is in charge. Thanks.
MTs from California
My company won't hire from California either. They said they can't afford to pay what the California MTs want because of their higher cost of living. All CA resumes go in the trash unread. Just passing on what I heard.
TTD, INC in California
Anyone have any info on this company? Looks like the pay is pretty low, but other than that, anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad? TIA
You should be in California--
the entire state is being overrun with people who cannot speak English.
DRC was in California... sm
Acusis is in India and headquartered in Philly. DRC was in California. Acusis bought DRC, and so then DRC became Acusis US.
If someone slips up and says DRC, they really mean Acusis US, not Acusis India.
Confused yet???
Any info on DRC out of California? sm
Line rate, platform, insurance? Any information appreciated.
Anyone know anything about AssistMed in California? TIA

I use Meditech in California
If you have some specific questions, feel free to ask.
JKM, CMT
Walnut Creek, CA
Chronicle California
Anyone work for them? How is/was it? Thanks in advance.
Seem like they were in California but I'm not sure if that is where all of their accounts are.
I think for the most part people have said good things about them. I talked to one person who had worked there a few years and said there seemed to be a high turnover but no more than anywhere else. She also said a lot of days it was really tough to get the line count as some of the accounts were harder than others. That is all I know and they really don't sound any different than any other company out there. You never know until you try.
California Transcription
I was also wondering the ease of the equipment that the company uses and degree of ESL dictators. I tried to research this company, and past comments have stated that they pay once a month.
Outsourcing in California
Not true - I live in California and many transcription companies outsource offshore. In fact, it's a trend that is increasing.
Snobbing California
OSi shouldn't be posting it as a United States: Nationwide position if they won't consider hiring from California. It wastes people's time applying and waiting for a response when they have no intention of using people from here. Chumps.
Are you a California resident?
If so, if a company ran a credit check without your permission they could be liable for 10,000 in damages. CA Civil Code §1785.20.5, 1786.12 explain and §1786.50 explains damages.
If you are not CA resident, Google your state civil codes credit reporting employment, etc. I would also send a certified letter to the credit bureau who ran your report and tell them this was an unathorized inquiry and you would like it removed.
roi - pretty sure california

FutureNet in California sm
Does anyone know if the lady that runs this is the same one who used to be with the old company YOG?
Chronicle in California
Anybody heard of this company? How is their platform? Do they pay on time? How is QA? TIA
Can't live on $35K in California either.

J&J transcription-California
Anybody got any pros/cons re: these people?
In California hospitals
things are especially tense. The unemployment rate in California is 12.5% and the state is ready to go bankrupt. I am just ashamed and disgusted that such a beautiful state has gone the way it has.
Please DO NOT mislead the MTs in California
You might want to look this up before you resume doing business in California:
http://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm#How%20Do%20I%20File%20a%20WARN%20Notice
It's my belief that California also has bumping rights based on Seniority. As I understand, if the person(s) who laid off people for no reason at all (which violates the covenant of good faith and fair dealing under California law and for termination in violation of California's public policy which defeat the at-will employment in California) lacks seniority at the company, then he/she can be bumped off by someone with higher seniority than him/her and with equal or more qualifications than him/her at the company.
In such a case, that person(s) who started the unfair layoffs would just be waking up a sleeping enemy!
You need that money in California
Fresno area's not quite as bad, but in the SF suburbs, it's $1000/month for a 600 square foot studio. Even at 10 cents a line, you've got to do a lot of lines to handle that. It's one the biggest reason I moved to the midwest.
What you get here compared to California
Had my SIL visit last year from Sacramento, CA and she could not believe what we paid for our home. She estimated my home and the homes around in the $500,000 range and up, which was more than most the homes here. I watch the home shows and shocked at what some people settle for when looking for a home there. They have nothing to show for say a home $200,000 or more. I used to live in Atlanta but moved to a more rural area where you can get a show piece for not that much.
California Transcription
Just wanted to warn anybody who may consider taking a position with this company. The pay is never on time. I'm still waiting to get paid for work done in JULY and today is September 27. And to anyone who starts to accuse me of libel--this is the truth and I can prove it. I can also prove that when asked about my paycheck, they lied to me and said it was in the mail, and it was not. And yes, I have reported it to authorities. Just wanted to warn anyone else who might get taken in by them. . . hope I can help someone else avoid the same pitfalls I've fallen into with these people (the Bartons).
Florida or California? Looks like there are several.

they told me they were in California nm

very similar situation here in California
Main office in Ontario, California. What a mess. The US owner (great person) thought it was going to be good thing but it turned out bad for her and the US MTs.
I'd like to work for a California company.
Working for an east coast company doesn't work so well because their TAT comes halfway through my workday.

California law prohibits outsourcing
My understanding is that California law prohibits outsourcing of medical records. I have also heard that other states have such laws, though I do not know which ones.
