in your life (not having insurance in your state) but you are willing to TAKE the good with the bad.  It was a personal choice and something you can do something about.  If you are a really good MT who is valued by your company who does not offer insurance in your state, negotiate to get the same treatment as an MT working for them where there is insurance in that MTs state.  If they contribute to that MTs HI, why can't they cut you a monthly check for that amount so you can independently get the insurance you need.

Be inventive.  You're settling for lessor benefits than others within this company because they treat you well (which I think is a good thing) but they are also taking advantage of you and it benefits their bottom line not to have you in their health insurance package.

Stand up for yourself.  Hope you don't take this negatively but someone said to state just the facts.  The facts are you are willing to accept less than another MT with the same company that benefits that company and that decision is yours and yours alone and it hurts you.

Don't you want to live differently?

I thought they were OK too but maybe not...the posts I read in the archives said they paid well..but guess I'll look elsewhere

Methodist Health System Selects Webmedx for Medical Transcription Technology

and Services

Company accommodates individual physician preferences and complex technology

environment









ATLANTA, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Webmedx, the fourth largest medical

transcription service provider in the U.S. and a premier supplier of clinical

documentation technology, today announced that Methodist Health System of

Dallas (Methodist) has signed an agreement to implement Webmedx's

Transcription Outsourcing Service and Enterprise(TM) software solution. A

web-native system for transcription and content management, the platform will

support Methodist's transcription needs and interface with the organization's

electronic health record (EHR).  



The challenge for our organization was to find a transcription partner

flexible enough to accommodate the varying needs of our physicians while also

delivering superior quality and prompt turnaround time for our reports,

mentions Pamela Stoyanoff, Executive Vice President of Operations for

Methodist Health System. 



Methodist and Webmedx technology teams worked diligently to implement

customized, blended, transcription solutions which will help the organization

meet diverse physician requirements and remain competitive. Additional Webmedx

benefits include a strong local presence for ongoing communication and

simplified service invoicing.



At some point in time, a lower per-line transcription price wasn't the

primary driver; quality and superior service was, Stoyanoff concludes.

Webmedx will replace the organization's long-term transcription supplier at

three Methodist hospitals beginning this month. Methodist chose Webmedx based

on our long-standing reputation for quality and the comfort of knowing we

would deliver an exceptional product and support, mentions Chris Cashwell,

Senior Vice President of Client Development, Webmedx.

MT and I've seen CMTs who did really lowsy work.  I have never considered getting my CMT.   I have always been told that I do top quality work and at companies that do pay a differential for having your CMT, I am paid the same rate.   Some people need letters after their name for whatever reason.

I don't understand why people take the time to respond to questions but they really aren't telling you anything. If you have something to say...say it.  But please only say what you know.  I'm not interested in what one 'thinks'.  If you 'know' it...let me hear it.

Thanks.

I worked for a company for around 2-1/2 years, basically 7 days a week to help out.  Never got one single incentive for it, nor did I expect it because in my eyes at the time, this was as good as it got.  I also never asked for a day off while I worked there.  I was paid lower than what I've been paid at other companies, in fact, 2-3 cents lower.  I was offered more for other places, but I let personal feelings and guilt if I left them get in the way of business. I liked the personal feel of the company, as there were only about 30 transcriptionists and you had a chance to get to know your doctors--probably about 50 of them.  My skills were good because I was always told that. 

I had to leave due to reasons that I didn't have any control over and got literally a 1 sentence reply 3 days later.  Said basically ok, no thank you, no good luck, no nothing.  I still worked my 2 weeks afterwards.  My reason wasn't a run of the mill lame excuse either.  This was my first thanks.  I felt like dirt after sending it and was sick about it for about a week before I did.  I  certainly didn't want them to say oh, please stay because I couldn't have even if I wanted to. I just expected a more grown up response from someone who could definitely write professionally. 

Things have since cleared up and I have been back in the job market for about 2 months, so I sent my resume to them and re-applied.  I figured, I liked working there, they liked me--had a great platform, why not?  Well, this was over a month ago and never received an I'm sorry Sharon, we don't need anyone at this time.  I figured, you can give an old employee that much acknowledgement, especially when it comes from a familiar e-mail and you KNOW they've read it as soon as they received e-mail notification because they, from personal experience, always got back to your e-mails within seconds. 

I don't expect anyone to kiss my butt, but a little bit of graditude from a place where you aren't just a number, where you are like family, I guess I expected a little more.  Am I wrong?

I have gotten more heartfelt e-mails from companies I have been with less time than that. 

Moral of my story:  They don't care about you, so if you don't have to, I wouldn't worry about sacrficing your family, life, and health to care about them. 

I have found a better place who won't use me for my time or under pay me or EXPECT that I be at my computer all day every day to help them. 

Thanks for listening,
Sharon

This is just one example of how we as at-home MTs do not really know who we are working for?  This sounds like the ultimate bait and switch.  

a pedal off the web.  Seems like only a specified brand ($139 .. at a special MT discount will work with their program (LOL).  This isn't specified in their job posting, though.

They said they sent me an email to download start up but i haven't gotten a thing!
