ALL DOMESTIC
I work as an MT for Webmedx and know that the company is all domestic, so you may want to check them out if you are looking to make a move to another company. They are great to work for!!
Exactly the same as what happens with domestic abuse -
..
Heartland - Domestic Team No More?
Heartland's only recruiter announced last week that she would be leaving. I wonder if she knows what the outcome of Heartland being sold is? No domestic team?
I know I will miss her greatly!
3rd largest DOMESTIC employer
Besides MedQ and Spheris, who else has 750 domestic MTs? And to answer your question before you ask; yes, CyMed really does have that many. I work in the corporate office and they've been stuffing envelopes for employee Christmas cards and gifts all week. (Finally getting them out the door on Monday.)
post specifically says Domestic MTs

How did domestic violence and religion get into this?
You suggest counseling? My sympathy goes out to you.I have done psychiatric reports in the past and from what I am reading here, sounds familiar. You have gone off in left field. The statements you have made above were never in this mix. This sounds so familiar from years past.
That poster thinks this has nothing to do with spirituality or domestic violence.
See below. She says we are in left field suggesting that. So, the words suck it up has nothing to do with how we treat other people or how we choose to be treated, that is just take the beating? Okay, well if I am in left field, and she has typed me in a psych note, I suppose I should suck that up too. Answering here because I wanted her to read above once again so that this poster can put 2 and 2 together, instead of calling me a nut. Thanks for listening.
Battering is a choice. (Domestic violence applies to many things)
May I suggest counseling? I mean that in a kind way. BTW: If you don't understand let me explain: Battering is a choice is same as Sucking up is a choice. Wondering if you were married if you sucked up to him as well... and don't get me started on misquoting Scripture either. God never forces us to suck anything up. We are supposed to be like Him. He will, however, let us choose to suck it up or choose to be battered, and that is where we end up in Hades.
So, by your philosophy, suck it up, accept the battering and you will always have a job. Okay, so you will always be under domestic violence. Your choice. Not mine. Wish you all the luck in the world with your sucking it up choose the battering. Maybe someday as I said a counseling session might help. Or not. Your choice.
Already trained, not by me
Reports were corrected numerous times and sent back.
Have you been trained yet?
They only spent an hour training me on the Dictaphone platform and no training at all on the account notes. They emailed them to me and told me to type away. There is no limit to the amount you can type either. I am a high producer and had to send them all to QA. Transtech is a friendly place to work but I was not impressed with the lack of training. It is definitely for people who must work on their own. I think I got paid for 8 or 10 hours training pay and that was it.
The way I was trained as an MT
First of all, I have to say that Long-Time MTs attitude stinks.
That said, I did not attend a formal training program, but was mentored to become an MT. I was taught that I should know whether a drug is brand or generic and, thus, whether or not it should be capitalized. In addition, I should know correct dosages and what the drugs are used to treat!
With all due respect, I think that if you have to continuously look up the same things over and over, you should find a better system. I was also taught that to have to do so is a waste of time, and we all know that time is money, especially in this business.
Why not get trained on it then you will get a mix

Yes they can. If you have to be trained
for your job, i.e., maybe new procedures, software, etc., yes they can if you want to continue to work for them. Even as an IC, you have to meet their requirements to work there.
If the VR program has been trained and you are
little manual transcribing (and you are an experienced MT to start with), you could expect to be at about 2000 to 2500 lines a day in just a couple of months. At 3.75 cpl, that is $75 $93.75 a day.
If you do manual transcription on a good platform and can average 1500 lines a day at 9 cpl, you would earn $135 a day.
You would need to factor in if they pay for headers, footers, spaces and if everything you are getting is VR reports from the more difficult dictators with a lot of editing that would be needed AND how often they run out of work. Sten-Tel has a reputation of giving their MEs the harder dictators and running out of work often, although your mileage may vary.
I'm only trained on 1 account. nm
I actually prefer to be trained
this way rather than getting stuck on the phone endless hours. Would you mind emailing me the name of the company?
You are still wrong to thank your company on an MT site, appropriate is your site.

Trained, but didn't like software
The staff was very nice, seemed organized in getting equipment out. Was not disclosed full details of shift. You must be on 8 hours, you are logged the whole time. It took the better part of a day to be set up. The next day it took an entire morning to be trained. The trainer did not seem well versed with the software, constantly put on hold to take other calls. Constantly said will call back in 5 minutes and it would be 2 hours. Not paid for demographics that take a lot of time and software was very cumbersone and to me not production friendly. Positives were employee status and the benefits were average. Was told top pay for acute care is 9 cents 65 character line. I decided it was not for me, but someone else may like the software and adhering to a strict schedule. Everyone was friendly.
When I trained/worked for Medware,
more than 2 hours because the trainer like to gab and not necessarily keep on track with the training. So, no guarantee that you will be finished.
If there are backup accts then everyone should be trained on them
If there is no work and no backup account then there is a huge problem. Please clarify the above. Have you asked for a backup? As for working at Sears, Im sure if business was slow you would have to stick around but they would pay you for your time.
trained 2-3 days after contact....sm
I work there now. My training was 2-3 days later. I live in California, they are in Maryland, I did not have a long distance bill . They call you and you have your training watching them teach you on thier computer, the training is short.
I have been there 3 years and only do rad. I was trained well and love my job. sm
The only complaint I have is that 2 accounts I was on went to Powerscribe. I was put on different accounts because I do not like to edit VR, so there was really not a problem. I get a lot of work and love my lead!
MT for many, many years, hired, trained
And you think x is trying to be superior?
I have a question. If what you say is true, that people on here ask legitimate questions and there are no dumb questions, only people too dumb and proud to ask questions, that does not also responses as well? Why is it that x has been relegated to the bottom of the heap of humanity for expressing hers?
SHE'S the one with the attitude? Puh-leeze, go stand stand in front of a mirror and deliver that diatribe to your audience of one.
I trained the voice recog at a company
Was running perfect for a while and then it all went to heck in a handbag. Took more time to transcribe an ASR then for me to retype the entire report especially since all my docs were macro'd. I believe they tried it overseas left the filter on and it got all messed up and I think they will continue until this particular company has all editors and will be making appx 7.50 an hour, that is what an ex-supervisor from there told me. Needless to say I moved on.
Have done QA and trained folks and will tell you, not all experience is industry standard
x
Who did your training? When I worked there, I was trained from someone in India, very hard to
understand what he was saying. Communication is less than ideal as there seems to a language barrier and comprehensive. I used to think NO was a universal language but to them it just means keep asking until the other person is so frustrated they are ready to reach in through the phone lines or IM and tear out your vocal cords LOL. Joking aside. Awful experience. I worked too hard, made too little and the HR person was the worst EVER.. real airhead.
I'm being trained for QA, and the guy taking me through the training acts like it's rocket sci
I think he's making it out to be harder than it really is. Glad to hear so many actually find it easy.
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
Best Web Site...
Here's a totally silly, irrelevant, dopey question: If you had never worked for any of the nationals, knew nothing about them whatsoever, and you had to pick one company based solely on their web site - who would you pick? Remember - you know nothing about any company whatsoever....
Here's a web site for you.
Except for the site.
know nothing.
http://medicalbazaar.com
HTH.
On this site, at least. :) SM
However, I felt it was worth posting as a representative of those Spheris employees who are satisfied.
I think many Spheris employees choose not to frequent/post on online forums, since there are guidelines regarding such discussions and it's easier just to avoid the issue.
I took a look at their web site - sm
I have not complete any formal training with a medical transcription school, but have 15 years experience in acute care. Their web site says they prefer transcriptionists who have completed formal training with an accredited school. I really want to apply, but since I haven't gone to school, I am hesitant. Anyone know if they will hire based on experience, without having completed training?
new web site
what discussion forum on what new web site?
MDI-FL...is there a web site....
to go to for infomation? Thanks!
New Site?
I am thinking about making a website/blog specifically for Pro-American MTs, educating the general public what's truly at risk here. For starters, I am personally going to boycott all doctors who support/send their dictation other countries!!!
I want to make the general public aware and get their input on supporting such a boycott. Hopefully, they'll join in on the boycott too.
My money is going to the doctor who supports American jobs. I'll put my trust in those physicians, thank you. As far as the docs who send their dictation to MTSOs who send our jobs overseas, I hope they all move overseas and live happily ever after! You don't deserve to live in America!
Who's game? I may get a friend of mine to get this started? I can message/email personally to those who are interested will details.
I don't think they have a web site
But they had an ad on the big MT job board. They're in Florida.
Where is their web site??
nm
They don't have a web site (sm)
Can I put you in touch with them?
According to their web site
The Transolutions APEX™ system is a secure, Web-enabled information management system offered exclusively by Transolutions. APEX™ reduces bottom-line costs by creating efficiencies of data management and storage at a centralized location. It also allows you to audit, access, view, edit and print transcribed documents. (Future phases of APEX™ will include electronic signature.) APEX™ incorporates:
OK, you got me to their site. I still saw nothing about it.
Could you direct me to which tab it states it on? Do they get money for all of us being paranoid and going to their website?
Web site?
Does this company have a web site? I could not find anything - was wondering how long they've been around. I lived in Peabody for years and never heard of them, not that that means anything!
Here's their web site
http://www.medlytics.com/home.html
web site
do you have a web site for Transcend????
Anyone know web site for
MDI-MD? I tried www.meditrans.net because I had seen that somewhere, but you can't get in without a password? I just wanted to read about them, their requirements, etc. Thanks
It's also in the TOS on THIS site.

Their web site says
you get paid when we get paid by the client, pay 0.07 to 0.8 cpl, you must submit your own invoices, a 2-dollar charge for direct deposits...I quit reading after that.
I don't work there but thatis what their web site says.
http://www.nicholastranscription.com
why not just go to their web site?
x
and if you look on the site....
they are lobbying for required certification to do medical transcription, which would suck all of us into membership and partnership wtih them. Blech!!
From their site, they are an
Indian company. Do you really wan to work for an Indian company?
Go to the web site for
the AHDI, formerly AAMT, and they have definitions for three levels of MTs. Whether or not you agree with their organization and what they stand for, I think that theirs are the best definitions I've seen for job descriptions in this field.
