Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas. The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY! We are already experiencing food supply shortages. Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY! Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses. PRAY! For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them. The worst is yet to come. PRAY! There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people. PRAY! Also, help any way you can. If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters.
All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.
Who is FREEDOMTYPE and are the in the United States? Thanks for any info.

MTStars is following the same directions that has been asked by the President of the United States regarding donations to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
If you would like to make monetary donations, please make them to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army. Banners are running above on the Main board that link directly to those sites.
Thank you!

I work for a hospital 6 states away. SM
I have a physician list and I have a website to look for other doctors. But how can they expect me to know how to spell patients' names? They can't. I have a disclaimer at the top of my log sheet that says common or phonetic spellings will be used where patient name spellings are not provided.
That was the thing that held me up when I worked "live" from home for a hospital. All that diddling around finding out whether it was "Kathy" or "Cathy" -- I don't do that any longer and you're right, it makes a HUGE difference.
Radiology Work-Keystrokes
Any information on Keystrokes radiology. They have several adds with different formats. One I might be interested in but afraid to take the plunge. I have done work for the same two radiologists for 10 years and know what they are going to say before they say it. What is their rate of pay and are there many ESL?
Keystrokes - Lanier system - anyone work on it?
nm
The company I USED to work for changed how keystrokes were SM
counted without telling us. This went gradually on over a period of months. Because my work hours were rather erratic (largely due to not enough work available--they were offshoring our accounts without telling us too), I preferred to assume my lowered production speed had to do with that. And went through the same confused and upset period as everyone else, thinking/wishing/hoping I could cure the problem by working better.
I'm at fault for not recognizing what was happening much sooner and demanding an answer, thus setting myself up for abuse. The questions I finally asked--out of curiosity about what they would say because I had had already learned the truth--were responded to with careful evasions and total failure to disclose.
I did ultimately leave that company for these reasons.
We can--have to, after all--accept that the rapid changes brought by new technologies and methods of increased production require changes in how the counts are done, and that these changes may be fairly and appropriately calibrated.
We do not not have to, and should not, accept not being told it's being done or being mislead or lied about what's happening. Best wishes.
Is Keystrokes a good company for any work type other than radiology? sm
I have seen really good reports on this board (and others) about Keystrokes being the place to be for radiology but have really not seen much discussion regarding other work types. I am primarily interested in op notes as I understand they will only hire if you have spent the last several years in a particular work type and ops are it for me. I wonder about their platform, pay scale, flexibility, whether or not weekend work is required, etc. I have left my email address in case anyone would like to privately email me. I would really appreciate some input. Thank you.
Speaking of offshoring MT work, who does not directly send work offshore?
Just curious. Has anyone got a list of companies who do not send work offshore? Precyse? MQ? Spheris?
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.
:
A co I used to work for would send me
hard copies of supposedly MY reports with errors. I would instantly know it wasn't my work, and would look at the MT ID # at the bottom of the report - NOPE, not mine. Naturally they were sending me the worst MT's reports, too, but I was fairly certain it was the person mailing them that was making the errors because my QA scores were very good.
I say let them try to send all of their work offshore
I think they would end up with some unhappy clients.
unfortunately they send work to other countries
they offshore to other countries from the usa because what's important to most dictators, and again unfortunately, is the cheapest price they will get for transcription......now, I didn't say they would receive good quality MT work back - but they will only be paying 3, 4 or 5 cpl for that offshore work.....so they have chosen to COMPROMISE QUALITY!!!! Blechhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Do you normally send your work each day as 1 email ? - sm
If that is the case, then make sure you save all the sent emails (I save it all) and then all you have to do is bring up her email address, select all the appropriate emails that were all ready sent, hit forward for all of them and enter in her email. Should take you less than 5 minutes to do all this and be relatively painless. --- if this does not work, yes, go for the billing route, she should be saving the work or at least keeping a backup copy of it for a min. of 3 months. I could see a file now and then but not all the time as she is doing. Very disorganized. Good luck.
Transcend does not send work offshores...sm
and continues to fight against offshoring.
Does anyone send cards or anything to the office they work for? (sm)
Years ago when I worked for a smaller company a bunch of us made a big box of goodies and mailed it to the office. They were such great people, helpful and cheerful. The company always sent us something and we didn't want to just send to the owner of the company so we felt a card in a box of goodies everyone could share. Smaller places have more of a personal feel .
Now I work for a larger company and home made goodies may not be such a good idea. (The shipping alone would be a killer.) I guess a card addressed to "everyone" will have to do it. Thought about having X-mas cards made up with my family picture on it and sending that to kind of help them also put a face to the name. Too much? Think I would be better off with just a standard card?
Those of you that are doing anything for the office you work out of, what are you doing? Would love to "borrow" a really good idea.
TIA
They'll send an email out when they need extra work done.
The bonuses are tied to taking on extra work on top of your regular workload, not production or longevity. It's per extra shift or per extra report on backlogged accounts. Call and talk to them if you have any questions.
Transcend Services doesn't send work outside of the US.
.
Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.
:
Just got E-mail from someone who is Pakistani wanting me to send them work for 3 cpl. (sm)
First off I am a MT myself, not a company and have no idea why they are soliciting work from individuals, unless they think we will sub-contract it to them.
Edited by Moderator
I would just supply one digital copy, either send the work back
via an FTP site or email attachment or whatever, or keep addending to a CD, but let them keep their own archives. And why can't they print when you deliver the CD or the work in digital format? I don't do any printing at all. Everything goes back digital and they keep their own copies. Once I bill for the month, everything gets deleted, as it should be under HIPAA.
Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t

If you mean United Transcription...
Recruiter, Melissa, had me do a questionaire first. after she was satisfied with this, she wanted to send me a pre-employment screening test. However, it looked like she was only going to send it to me if I had planning on taking it RIGHT THEN AND THERE just because it was timed and needed to be back in 24 hours (we are about 6 hours apart, and I do have another job). She did this twice. I waited for days. Why couldn't she just send the test as an attachment to download like NORMAL companies would?????
I finally emailed the company and told them how unprofessional they were, particularly Melissa, and that they actually did me a favor.
Also contact United Way
We were in a similar, very difficult situation a few years back. In desperation I called the United Way and they matched my family up with a company in our area that went out and shopped for my 4 kids. They bought everything on the list and even wrapped the gifts before delivering them. They left an envelope for me and my hubby with a $100 bill, a gift certificate for a Honey Baked ham and a grocery gift card. When I did my Christmas shopping at the store, they scanned the gift card - it was for $100! I started crying right in the store. I will never forget those angels on earth who saved Christmas for my kids and saved my faith in humanity. And, by the way, it is not too late! I didn't know help was available to people in trouble, so didn't call until 5 days before Christmas! They did all of this for us in just 5 days! Tell your friend there are many who have been where she is right now and she will get through it. There are many, many wonderful agencies and people who will help you, she just has to ask. I pray that your friend will get the help she needs.

United transcription
Does anyone have any information on United Transcription, Inc.? Are they a good company to work for, do they pay, is there a lot of work, etc.? Thanks
NM..found it..United Transcription..Tks
xx
sorry...that was United Transcription in No. Carolina. nm
s
No, it was United that offered lower than 8 cpl. nm
s
United Transcription used to have, very recently too.

Call United Way in your area. Dial
Ask for referral for whatever it is you need help with, i.e. electric bill, mortgage, etc. You absolutely cannot apply for unemployment as an IC. You may also consider applying for emergency public assistance by contacting the department of human resources in your county.
I know you are looking for BCBS, but my United HealthCare policy SM
will allow my kids to stay on until they are 26 if they are not married and still living at home, whether they are in college or not. I double checked about it, and it's true. Also my dental is the same way but a different carrier.
United Health Care medical insurance
 Well, I am about to use my vision coverage insurance for United Health Care. Eye Exam 2000 said they only covered 15-20% of the exam, 20% of cost of lens/glasses. I have never heard of such a low amount covered. I guess I have the wrong plan. Anyone else disappointed with United Health Care benefits besides me? I work for a large national.
Thanks. I guess I am hoping someone will tell me I am wrong and that 80% of the bill is covered. That this is all a mistake.
Signed,
Squinting
Call United way. Dial 2-1-1 from a landline phone
or you can Google united way '_________'. fill in the blank with the name of your city. You can search their database online as well. There is help out there for you.
ProScript Documentation Services does not send work overseas or employ any overseas MTs. (nm)
I wasn't offered 8-1/2 cpl w/United out of So.Carolina - much lower. TransTech and DSG
s
I used this with United of No.Carolina. It seemed kind of slow and archaic. Didn't use the Sted&
s
Also they have to pay to set up new states
So they might not want to hire from states not set up in already.
Keystrokes. sm
I know that they have gotten beat up on here lately and had good posts too, but I think that each company is different for each person. I have found a permament place, as long as they stay this way or improve. I am treated fairly, paid well and on time. I am left alone as long as I do what I commit to. This is a perfect situation for me, but to each his own.
Try Keystrokes
They may have radiology positions open.
Keystrokes
Viki,

Do you mind e-mailing me please?
KeyStrokes
Can anyone give me some info on Keystrokes? Are they a good company to work for? Competitive line rate, etc.?
Keystrokes
Does anybody know about the company called Keystrokes Transcription Service, Inc out of Illinois? Am thinking about working for them.
Keystrokes, MDI-MD
to name a couple.
Keystrokes
This company always pays on time and in general is easy to work for. QA and TAT are big priorities as in most every other company, but also they try to keep their employees happy. They also do not offshore and pay is good.
Keystrokes
I have applied to Keystrokes over three weeks ago for radiology positions. Unless they are not happy with my work, could anyone tell me why they continue to advertise for 30, 60, however many openings they have? What gives with them? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
