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.

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 suggest trying Medware
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!
I believe Medware is hiring for ER accounts right now. sm

Medware - Are they really a good co to work for? Thanks.

Medware is hiring ICs. They had a post on the
:)
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..

Every company is different -- I worked FT for one as an employee but worked a split shift - sm
So I never took breaks. I would work 5 hours, break for about 4 hours then do another 3. Another company I worked for did not care what hours you worked (IC) but wanted a min. amount of work each day, 500 for PT and 1000 for FT-- BUT they paid you by how many lines an hour you put out, the higher the lph the higher up the scale you made per line in pay; they have since changed everyone to a flat rate with incentive. But bottom line, if you are an IC it does not matter what hours you work, though many ask for a schedule and ask you to stick to it, they just want you to meet line requirements daily, i.e. 1000 per day, 1200 per day, whatever it is.
I got up early, worked during naps, and worked when DH got home.
You have to be disciplined to make yourself work when baby is napping instead of maybe watching TV or doing housework, etc.
I might also go the route of having a teen come into your home, or either trying a mother's morning out program at a local church/daycare. I've been home since my youngest was born and he has never been in all-day daycare, but I did have him in a mother's morning out program 15 hours a week at a local church. It didn't help a lot with my work schedule because I had an older son in school and was a room mom and tutored other kids, but that might be an option. The only problem with the mother's morning out program is they are around other kids and tend to pick up every germ. I finally took my DS out of the program because he stayed sick. You were supposed to keep them off if they had green nasal discharge and I did, but no one else did. Every time I got him well after 2 to 3 days back he would be sick again. Other than that it was very good for him because he would not have had a chance to be around kids his age otherwise.
I worked on that system when I worked there...
The thing that chapped my hide about that TWS was that they designed it so that all the headers of each section of the report were canned and thus you were not paid for them, even though you had to take your hand off the keyboard and mouse down a list of paragraph headers to chose the one you needed. Just racking up more profits for themselves. Ticks me off.
that is what is being worked out, and has been worked on for the last few years already...only
why are we just hearing this now? I know voice recog has been around, but this is entirely different. This will also make coding and billing obsolete.
Don't know why, but it just bothers me that one of our 'own' is the one pushing this...and she is also connected with AAMT. Do they support this, and if so, what is their advice I wonder to the MT?
Perhaps that is one question for their website (I do not subscribe to their mag or credentials...)
Thanks, for the input!
Thanks, that worked for me! nm

TY, TY, TY, that worked. nm
This one worked for AT&T. I was trying to pay
my bill in advance, but you cannot just do that, you have to talk to the credit department. Well, too bad, I no longer use AT&T.
I did not say I worked for SS. I don't know
even know what company SS is? I work for a company where I get paid for spaces. As for transcribing about 65% ESL charts, I typed the same 2 doctors over and over yesterday who love to stat their charts. I had nothing but them my first 3 hours of work. I was beginning to think that all the other doctors had quit and left them to do everybody's work because I had nothing but them. It seems on Saturday and Sunday my work is filled with nothing but ESLs because they are the only ones who like working on weekends. The rest of the week is not so bad but the weekends are the worst for ESL coverage.
OSi is probably the BEST I have ever worked for - sm
I have worked for OSi for almost a year now, and they are BY FAR the most flexible, best paying, most caring management, and have never felt like I was "just" a transcriptionist. There are so many bonuses, GIFTS out of the blue.... great company, very stable...
I worked for them
Briefly, it was a major problem. From the training to the getting back with me to helping out and getting things staright. They have a lack of management skills to say the least. I left them due to this. Maybe things would be different for you.
Good LUCK
I worked for a nut (sm)
who always wanted perfect documents. Even worse was when I found out there were other MTs making a bunch of mistakes and leaving a lot of blanks on the same account! So I was to do perfect documents while the others were turning in crap? No less than 8 mistakes or blanks on one page?
I finally wisened up and quit. They're always behind and looking for people, I wonder why, duh.
I also worked for DDI...
when MQ bought them out. I stayed with MQ for about 6 months after that and then moved on.
this is what worked for me...
When I worked 3rd shift, at first I tried going to bed around 10 in the morning and getting up around 5 p.m. when my husband got off work. However, it got to the point that I felt like I didn't have a life at all. I didn't have time to run any errands or even do simple things like clean my house because all I wanted to do was sleep. What worked best was when I started staying up until around 2 p.m and then sleeping from then until around 7:30 p.m. That gave me time to do everything I needed to do during the day and feel like I was able to function, and getting out in daylight instead of only being awake when it's dark definitely improved my mood, too.
It took me a good 2 months before I got adjusted to 3rd shift, but I actually ended up enjoying it more. If you do decide to go to 3rd, put up dark curtains, blinds, whatever you need to do to make your room feel like nighttime when you're trying to sleep. Also make sure you turn off the ringers on your phones because there are always people who don't understand what it's like to work nights and will call you when you're trying to sleep.
As far as staying awake during your shift, make sure you get up and move around every so often, keep the room very bright and a little cool, and keep the Mountain Dew or the coffee handy. Go luck! 
that worked, thank you!
This worked for me
I had trouble getting paid as an IC until I did the following: I started billing on the 1st and 15th of each month. I put a 10-day balance due date on the bill. There is a note at the bottom of the bill that says if any balance is carried more than five days past the due date, the old balance PLUS the new balance is due before transcription services are resumed. Its a bit aggressive, but I was tired of making less because of paying late fees on my bills. Since I started this policy, I'm paid ON TIME by all of my docs.
I tried everything and this is what worked for me
I had beige carpet, too, tried Resolve, OxyClean, dishwashing soap, etc. The only thing I didn't try was a special cleaner specifically for red stains (Red Out I think it's called), but it was $10 a bottle and I had only one stain. What finally worked for me was saturating the stain with club soda, then lying a dry washcloth on top of it and applying a warm iron on top. It draws the stain up into the washcloth. You could try a paper towel, too. I had a big spot that was a few months old by then, so I had to repeat this twice I think, but it finally came out.
what worked for me
Just look at the symbol: < >
The widest part of the symbol is next to the larger number: 7 < 9
9 is larger than 7
The smaller part of the symbol is next to the smaller number: 10 > 8
8 is smaller than 10
Have you worked for all of them?
If you have actually worked for all of these companies and know this for a fact.....then you have the right to post such a statement. If you have not worked for each and every one of them....it is not a fair statment.
If you have worked for them all, perhaps the problem is with you because that is a lot of job hopping.
