Why doesn't he send it to India?
I am sure it could be typed for even less than that over there. Outsourcing.
Yet ANOTHER reason not to send
k
A big reason is because offshore (India, etc.) have flooded Canada & try
to pass themselves off as "Canadians" to get transcription business in the US. It's really sad because good Canadian MTs ultimately get the shaft.
She probably undercut your rate. Just like India MTs. Another reason for union.

Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.
:
Good/let them send it all to India! and stop the slow bleed
I'm sick of hanging on by my fingernails hoping things will get better.
Every day for the last 4 years my income has diminished. As long as
men have their fingers in any particular industry, you can bet you will starve
doing work for them. They suck the $$ out of it and then leave whatever profession
they were into, devastated and in shambled.
They have done it to drugs for our health, our hospitals, our medical field of doctors and nurses, and now they have done it to transcription.
I just wish one day I could meet one of these guys face to face. Better yet I'd like to have a conversation with him when finally one of his loved ones has to use this devastated system they have brought down to nothing.
Now our ERs are overloaded and closing. Medical care is getting to be nonexistant. Hospitals barely let you stay long enough to get the IV in your arm, and then they are wheeling you out the door comatose but they have to follow the guidelines which means no longer than X number of hours per stay!!!! Well, hell's bells, why did I go to the hospital in the first place - I could have stuck a needle in my arm at home and not been shuttled around in the heat and car -
PROFIT.....I think America needs to rethink capitalism - it has begun to have an aroma about it.
Did she give a reason why sm
she wanted you to log in by 9:30 a.m.? If this is a digital system, maybe they do not have many ports open for you and the in-house staff.
If that is not the reason, than I would respectfully say, sorry, that is not possible. I will have your transcription returned to you complete and accurate within 24-48 hours as agreed; however, I can not guarantee a specific schedule of hours as I am not an employee.
Good luck with this one.
why not give us the address to send our own letters??
Perhaps this will pack more of a whallop. We could synchronize what day we will mail them and it would look better, IMHO. Calm down, okay? You're doing a good thing.
They steal your money and then send you a check and you are thrilled. Give me a break.

INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
  Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork. My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators. Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries. Give up you all,  India is already way ahead of us!
Used to think we were using India, but now realize India is using us for our med. info, jobs,

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

You are right ... and I cannot imagine that these are even remotely sanctioned by MTStars mgmt. Will await their input before jumping to conclusions.
How about it is all going to India???

Why yes! It's very hot in India. (nm)

india
not sure, but if you were on the national do not call list maybe this would help?? since you do not know where they got your name from it might help. I am on that list and have not received any calls solicitating, selling, etc. thought this might help.
EMR/India
I am sorry to hear of your loss. We might as well face it, this industry is going to the birds. I have lost four Docs because of outsourcing to India. It is a shame that the Docs have to find a cheap way out because of all the overhead, malpractice, etc. that they have to pay. I have been in this for four years and I thank God that I have 12 years doing medical billing, for which I am going back to school to do coding. There is no job security in this industry, you are treated like dirt, you do not get paid on time and not treated like an employee should be and now EMR. What is next? Robots to do patient care? Good luck to you, but I feel this is just a little wakening up call to all of us that things are changing and not for the good.
India MTs
Where did you get this info that there are more CMTs in India than here in the US? Just curious. Thanks
India
Most of these people, at least at a company I worked for, work 2 shifts every day - company paid for them to get their CMT.
India
One of the reasons there is still such poverty there is that India still has the caste system. While becoming more westernized has improved the quality of living for the majority of Indians, those in the lower caste are not allowed the same opportunities. They live in squalor without running water, food, education, etc.
India
This is very disgusting! How are we to compete with $500 a year. If India is so great why is it that they hire Americans to edit this crap all the time??? These companies do not understand you get what you pay for just like everything else in life. It's all about saving the allmighty buck. This is exactly why I and I'm sure others out there do not work for any company who offshores!!
Why India?
Interesting article in "The Record". Would love to hear opinions on this.

I believe Jax is in India, right?

India and CMT
Please tell me they are not only undercutting us in pricing, but they are also getting a break on the CMT exam? I am "saving up" to take it! – see below from MT India
"Moreover, with an aim to encourage experienced medical transcriptionists in India to align with global standards and broaden their career avenues, Prometric & AAMT have also announced a special price for the Certified Medical Transcription (CMT) certification exam, which will be available for USD 150 (reduced from previous available price of USD 275)."
India
I agree, the India thing may be part of some of the problems I have noticed lately. Things are in a bit of an upheaval. Certain accounts that were said to have been largely off-shored now seem to be back here and always going out of TAT. The one I'm working on now is like that, and I wish it would stay here because I like it a lot.
no - that's how they say it in India
Probably the one in India.

From India
Me too, about a year ago, but mine was from India, what nerve.
From India, of course! SM
 What I can't figure out, if WE can't understand the lot of them, how did they ever get through the recruiting/hiring interview and application process, and how to they communicate with their peers and patients? Via interpreter??
Me neither whether that be here or in India..
I'm not real sure I see your point.
I'm not being difficult. I just don't understand how a fire would cause companies to not outsource.
There were fires in California. There was a hurricane in Texas. I am quite sure these two disasters did not spare places where medical records are kept.
He/She is probably QA in India
If this were an Indian MT, all they'd have to do is send it to their several layers of QA. This is likely an Indian QA person who has nobody else to ask.
Are you in India?
Just curious, as the way you express yourself does not appear to be the usual English seen on the board.
Are you in India?
No offense, just wondering.
are you from India or some other sm
country? Schools give instructions on Expanders and macros! Oh that is funny! Goes right back to experience! You are not going to have high line counts without extensive experience and learning, learning, learning! MT schools don't have any business (IMO) teaching about expanders and short cuts. They nee to teach medical transcription.
Experienced MTs have worked without expanders and macros before that ever came about and made excellent money. Sometimes I cannot believe what I read on here.
India!! LOL
AAMT in India
 LOL, that's a good one. Maybe next year!
Stay there in India.
And the companies want to outsource their work to these freaks. They spell careers as "carriers". LOL. I guess they don't care about quality transcriptionists that's for sure.
If you are really in India, which I doubt, but is entirely
possible, you may be interested to know that legislation is in the works to STOP all offshoring of any/all work which might "compromise the security" of U.S. "entities." This includes, of course, healthcare records.
They don't use camels in India
They use elephants-- sorry.
Surgery in India
I saw a clip on TV a while back about this. It followed an American woman who had a hip replacement. She was very pleased with her care and the outcome, and the price.
They outsource to India
They are funded by George Soros (look him up-- he has big bucks, is very "global", and has bankrupted a lot of foreign countries). Look at the two articles on the MT News board about Spheris. If you like all the new MQ rules and regulations, you will love Spheris, as they have all the same ones. I checked into them about 6 months ago and said, "No, thanks".
caution on SPI (India)
From their website: SPI has India facilities.
http://www.spitech.com/SPIHealthcare/about.html
....Would you like India with your order sir?
I can understand how incredible it seems that fast food chains are outsourcing BPO services, BUT IT IS TRUE.
Sure, if you like your work going to India (sm)
after a few months!!
They're a MQ clone, without the mafia connections.
They are all sending more to India
nm
It is probably someone in India who is bidding $10
And unfortunately this brings our rates down.
