I suggest trying Medware

Posted By: Christina RTMT on 2008-06-07
In Reply to: Anyone out there ever use MT Matchmaker? - nocalmt

I'm starting with them 7/1, but I can tell you the hiring process was one of the best I've experienced. The recruiter was super friendly. Once I applied, they got back with me within a few days.  Also, the testing process was very reasonable. Great benefits from what I've read (on here) and they don't change your accounts frequently. Take care and good luck!

Anyone with information on Medware.  Would appreciate any input.  Thank you in advance.
Medware
This was the worst of the worst for me. I went back to working for a hospital (at home) after a month with them!
Medware

Can anyone tell me how long it took to get hired with this company?  I spoke with a recruiter last week, who acted like everything was all set and haven't heard from him since.  I did send himi an e-mail, but got no reply.  I didn't want to call and be a pester either, but I would like to know something.  I was just curious if this length of time was normal or not....Thanks

Well, on the other side of the coin there is the fact that they have an easy-to-use platform, you get feedback/corrections for every report you send into QA, they offer good medical and dental benefits that are affordable, there are 7 paid holidays and at least 10 vacation days per year given, my supervisor is approachable and allows flexibility within reason, and, in my experience at least, we do not run out of work frequently.

The fact that they have a subsidiary in India does not bother me. Nowdays, it is a fact of life in this, and many other businesss.

I've been very happy in my years with Medware and have no plans to leave.

Like I said... I know not everyone agrees with my views on this, but I did want you to have another opinion from the opposite side.

Medware has gone through a lot of changes recently and not all of them good. The mentality is based on quantity, not quality. If you want to push through a lot of charts for low pay and no raises, then Medware is for you.

Only a couple of positives: They do not deduct for errors, pay is made on time, vacation pay, but you have to work 3 holidays a year. Platform is easy to use. Flexibility in scheduling is a huge plus.
MedWare
I have been happy there and am in my 3rd year of employment. In my personal experience I can say that I do not have accounts that are "picked over" due to outsourcing. Mine are great, as is my supervisor.
Medware

What's the general consensus with regards to Medware?  Thanks in advance.


medware
It doesn't make any sense. I passed it but they keep telling me I only scored an 82. HOw can you score an 82 when all your answers are right??
Medware
I had been with another company for nearly six years when I switched to Medware.  I love Medware! They're like any other company wherein benefits are available, but you are required to work 40 hours a week and produce your required line count.  Isn't that just the same as other companies?  QAs are quarterly, the pay is fair, and I have had great supervisors...just the best!!! I think some of the comments I have seen about Medware are harsh.  I've worked for the worst and feel Medware is one of the very best!!!
Medware
I absolutely loved working for Medware.  I worked for them for about 6 months.  I quit, as I was moonlighting and working a fulltime job.  It became too much.  I would go back there in a heartbeat though!
Medware
I currently work for Medware and love it.  The people are all great and I always have work.
Go with Medware! SM
GREAT benefits, GREAT team leaders, GREAT atmosphere just to name a few things. I worked BRIEFLY for JLG and was not very happy with them at all. The people were GREAT but the platform sucked. Also, I was not able to get much flexibility in scheduling. I have been with Medware for a year and a half now and absolutely LOVE my job and actually ENJOY coming to work! HTH!
MEDWARE INC

Do yourself a favor and do not work for Medware INC. 'Where there is smoke, there is fire.'
Regarding Medware
Someone who is disgruntled and who does not care to state WHY not to work at Medware.  I work at Medware (on the Merit side...used to work on the Dictaphone side as a shift leader and delta) and I am VERY happy here, and have been for over 3 years now.  It is still a great company to work for.  Yes, there are a LOT of changes that have gone on over the past 1-1/2 years, but so far, have all been positive, so unless you care to elaborate, "I" love Medware and hope to retire here.  As with any any job, there is ALWAYS going to be something that someone is not happy with.  I think if you talk with the management personally (and respectfully) you might agree.  JMO!!
Medware ---so far, so good --
Startup is quick. Supportive trainers. Like their platform. MT-friendly software.
Medware or Spheris
Medware wasn't a bad company and the benefits were good. The only complaint I had is they told me I would get a certain account, but when I started I ended up with 3 others, not including the one they told me I would get. I was started on all 3 at the same time and yes it got confusing. I worked for Edix, now Spheris, and the schedules were very very rigid there.
Can anyone tell me what Medware insurance
rates are for 2 people (me & hubby)?
Thanks!
Feedback about Medware?

Okay, gang, here is one more.  I see that they are listed as the 2005 and 2002 AAMT Employer of the Year, and I am scheduled to test with them tomorrow. 


Any feedback, good or bad, on Medware?


Medware has benefits???
The only benefit I heard of was their paying half of self-employment taxes. They said they do not offer full-time employment; they offer statutory employment which means they offer one benefit--the full-time employment tax half-payment. Where do I find out about the medical, dental, etc. you mentioned?

Do you find BayScribe easy to use and to learn?

About how many lines per hour is your average? How many on a good day? I'm just wondering about what productivity people are REALLY having in the company, as opposed to what a recruiter might tell me.
Information on Medware

 


Thinking about working for them.  Any input.  Thanks.


Medware and Meridian?
Anyone know anything about these companies.  I'm currently working but really need to get at least a part-time job as our work is extremely slow and I get the feeling that they are losing the account that I currently work on.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks. 
I too worked for medware
a few years back and absolutely loved it!  I had to quit do to personal reason.  Great bunch of people!
I believe Medware is hiring for ER accounts right now. sm

Thanks, Medware, for this great gift!

And thanks especially to MTStars for all you do for MTs and making MT Week so much fun!


On ExText with MedWare and they also said No Vista! nm

Medware and Execuscribe, JLG any comments...
or opinions on theses three companies. Been offered a position with both and wondering who is the best out of these 3 to go with? TY in advance
Thank you, Medware and MT Stars for the $50 Amazon gift.
I received my gift certificate yesterday. Oh boy - let the shopping begin!  Thanks again!!
I have been told and read that Medware offshores. I think you can do better.
There are many American companies that do not offshore. Please steer clear of any offshoring companies at any cost.
I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

Full time at Medware is considered 32 hours. Nmsg..

I would suggest
giving them a call.  I would imagine they would hire PT whether they're advertising for PT or not.  I work PT but do as many or more lines than is required for FT.  I know they bend over backwards for me in every respect and I doubt I'm treated any differently than their other MTs.  I think you'll find them to be incredibly nice folks even AFTER you're hired!     And, believe it or not, they do know how to coordinate hiring and work flow so it's unlikely you'd ever run out of work, might be ASKED to work extra but that with more than adequate compensation IMHO.
I can suggest one

AT&T CallVantage. - You can make all LD calls (including with your dictation system) directly through your DSL line. I've never been billed more than $35/month (I think that includes taxes), and I'm on close to 10,000 minutes a month.


So how to you suggest they do it then?
Unfortunately they have to keep track of who is getting these cards and they have to make sure there is no fraud going on, so they have to make some stipulations.

I think it's a great effort regardless!
Can I suggest something?
Two lines of thinking, actually:

1) Please consult a behavior specialist. There is an underlying reason or reasons for his behavior. It's much healthier for him to find out the causes for his behavior and design a treatment plan and work for changes rather than to just cover them up by changing the environment.

2) Please consider going against what seems to be the attitude today: Everything made-to-order. What I mean is that children learn quickly what is acceptable and what isn't. If we constantly are taking our children out of normal social situations and putting them in "specialized", "personalized", "made-to-order" situations they will never learn how to cope and get along with others. They will also be robbed of the joy of learning community-mindedness. Not teaching them how to get along in life is hateful. Not easy skills to learn as a teen, as an adult.

Just my opinion. I faced behavioral problems with mine when they were young. I know how it feels. My best wishes for you.
I would suggest..
going to a psychiatrist. I also suffer from anxiety and depresson. I take a combination of Wellbutrin and Neurontin, and this seems to work very well. I have had a hard time finding any medicine that works for me. I still have episodes sometimes, but they could prescribe you Xanax for those in between momements. I don't take Xanax though, just the Neurontin for the anxiety.
What do you suggest

How much do you guys charge for a late fee when invoices aren't paid in time? 


My terms are invoicing the first of each month and payment due within ten days. 


I've decided to impose a late fee since I'm having a horrible time getting paid.  What do you recommend?  Thanks.


Thanks! What do you suggest then?

I would suggest
investing in the Stedman's Medical Terms and Phrases book. It is kind of spendy, but it sure is a nice comprehensive reference book. Definately worth it..
oh, i was going to suggest
carboplatin and Paclitaxel...?
May I suggest

Shortkeys2?  That's the program I have at my office (I do transcription for a major medical institution) and at home (home transcription on the side).  It works with most programs and platforms.  I've only had one or two programs so far that it wasn't compatible (AOL and GMAIL).


I would suggest
If at all possible, I would suggest you get a job working in-house, so that you can get paid by the hour. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first started out, I don't know how many lines I typed per hour, but I worked 8 to 2, and I only transcribed about 18 to 25 reports a day.  My speed and comprehension built up slowly and it helped greatly having co-workers to help me.  I feel that the MTSO will take advantage of you in several ways and believe you will probably not make a decent living in the beginning. You have to learn the system you are working on, the physician's style of dictaton, etc.
I'd suggest...(sm)
...using "AA (Photography)" or "AA (Media Arts)" in order to show the relevance of the degree.
May I suggest --sm
Shorthand V10 as an expander? It works just like autotext, which is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted an expander. It works with almost all platforms, and has a free 30 day trial. There is also an option for paying at the end of the 30 days. To receive all upgrades, I chose to pay once a year, at 29.99! It is the best Expander I have ever used and for the price, it's a steal! good luck.
and i would suggest
Your response does not surprise me.  I would suggest you read between the lines in the entire thread that I wrote.  I did not CALL FOR anything.  I was simply making an observation and throwing some thought out there.  As far as my spelling of HIPAA...... I am not an MT, nor a typist, nor grammar specialist.  I am, however, a very very successful consultant in many areas.  My expertise has afforded me very nice wealth.  How about you????? 
I would suggest only if you need benefits.
a
I'd suggest it if you want a job when you come back. nm
 
You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.
 
To begin with, I would suggest
Paying for your rent/mtg, food and utilities without fail first.

I ended up in BK 13 so I can't help you with a company name but this is what I learned, food and shelter come first.
