Precyse is a good fit for me and I plan to stay with them. It all depends on what you are looking for. You can Email me with specific questions and I will be happy to tell you anything I can.

Any Info on Precyse Solutions?
Just curious if anyone knows what may be happening at Precyse Solutions. I have heard they are cutting back on their benefits, as in not matching 401K plan any longer. Is it possible they are being approached by a buyer and cutting back to beef up their profit margin? I was looking into working for them, but if there is instability there, I'd rather weigh my options more carefully.
Precyse QA
Can anyone tell me how the QA is with this company? I know their QA head person came from Edix and I remember that Edix had gotten to the point you would lose points if you put a comma where they didn't think you needed one.

How long were you with the other company? My company runs out of work often too. What company are you leaving if you don't mind me asking? I may work for the same! Let us know how precyse works out for you.

I don't know anything about this company, but I found the following in archives, hope this helps:

I've worked for Precyse for 3 years and have been in the MT profession for 22+ years.
What I like best about this company: They let me do my job. I chose my shift, I do my job and provide 99% to 100% accuracy on my QA audits, which means they leave me be. I don't have to deal with petty complaints, cherry picking, or jumping around. I have been working on the same 2 accounts the entire time I have been there, which for some reason escapes other nationals what an advantage it is to keep people where they can be most efficient and productive (good for the company, good for the MT). They pay me well and on time, offer bonuses and appreciation gifts. My PC has never been down, so I do not lose time on technical issues---big plus. They don't call me every day asking me to work extra, maybe an Email occasionally, but do not drive me crazy calling or making me feel guilty. In return, they can depend on me to be at my PC when I am scheduled and to produce what is needed.
What I do not like about Precyse: Good question. I'm a pretty happy camper, and that's saying a lot in this business!

In Reply to: Precyse from my viewpoint.. posted by Been Around on June 20, 2005 at 23:12:20:
I like the fact that I do my job, I'm paid well, and I'm left alone. Computer downtime maybe for 15 minutes here and there, but that is maybe once in a blue moon. I also love their payroll system. They have a system where timesheets are entered online, you can withdraw PTO from your personal account anytime you want to, and you can check online to see what your check will be a few days before it is actually deposited in your account. So you can budget and plan accordingly. Also, great people to work with. Everyone is a team, and management is extremely helpful. I won't paint Precyse as the "perfect" company, but honestly I don't have any complaints working for them.

I would rather not name the company I am leaving. I haven't notified them yet that I'm leaving (the owner is in Hawaii at the AAMC convention) and my e-mail address is somewhat obvious. I'm fairly new as far as working from home. I only started from home at the end of December 2004. Prior to that I worked in-house at a clinic. When I took this job, the owner said I would NEVER run out of work. Unfortunately I have, and more than once. I will let you know what happens with Precyse. JW
DSG and Precyse to name 2
Not Precyse. No way, never.
Just thinking about Precyse creeps me out. Managers double dip and transcribe leaving the ugly work for MTs.
Precyse
Thanks for the info! I'd like to start out part-time with a company and then if everything goes well, go full-time. I just don't want to leave my present company in case things are worse elsewhere. :)
Precyse
That is what I did. I was working FT for a hospital and then I thought I wanted to retire and I just worked PT for Precyse while I had my full-time job. I stayed at Precyse for about 1-1/2 years and then got back into a hospital as a full-time employee getting paid by the hour plus incentive. Pauline

Does anyone know the EIN for Precyse Solutions? Thanks.

I am about to accept a position with Precyse Solutions. I'm leaving the company I was with because they run out of work too frequently. I had no work at all last week and I need to pay bills. Can anyone tell me if Precyse is as great as it sounds? Thanks, JW ');>

Precyse -- right?? Got the same e-mail and SM
going through the same thing. There are days I get so upset about lack of work and my e-mails not being answered, that I'm about reduced to tears. I am so tired of seeing "thank you for your patience."
I used to QA at Precyse Solutions
and can tell you that the offshore work went through several layers of their own QA and still would have major errors when I got it. I can only imagine how horrible the reports are before their QA edits them.
I got sick of doing QA on the offshore reports and left.
Feedback on Precyse Solutions?
Does anybody know anything good or bad about this company? I am looking for a good MT employment position, and I have been burned before (by Voice Systems--they don't pay!).

PRECYSE SOLUTIONS---PS MT EXASPERATED--SM
Tonight an ad posted on MT Jobs 03/24/2006 claims tons of work available, yet I know for a fact quite a few MTs have had little to no work for 4 out of the last 6 weeks. Any current PS MTs out there having the same problem? If so, do you have any insight as to why?
Precyse. Good, bad, ugly?
thanks!
Precyse and SoftScript offer dial up, too. nm

Last notes I had said Spheris, Precyse at 37K+ speed, and

Can find Spheris, Precyse only if 37K or faster, & SoftScript so far. Sorry. nm

demographic info is not the only info ...sm
protected by HIPAA, as we all know. I saw that ad too and was surprised to see it. Any identifying info is considered Protected Health Information, including diagnoses, tests, etc. This MTSO should have known better than to ask for that.
thanks for the info
Wanted to make sure it was okay to maybe start early or late some days, can't stand such a rigid schedule when i work at home. Understand about making sure to produce enough first though.
Thanks for all the info....
It saddens me to know that this is a problem with internet companies, I knew it happened at hospitals.
A little info
My sister graduated from nursing school in 1988 and had been working in nursing, until I became an at-home MT and she decided to take a coding course because she wanted to work at home, too. She took the course and took an in-house position. Some months later, she took and passed her certification. Now, she is having a really hard time finding an at-home position. I don't know if it's a typical story, but I do know she's been pursuing it pretty heavily and is having a hard time.
Thanks for that info (sm)
I was contemplating getting a second HSI provider. As it turns out, I am back on now. But, yes, started my day off all wrong. The stress from this is exhausting in itself. I will call BellSouth Fast and get the info. Hope it is available in Calif. If not, will find some sort of remedy with a backup connection using high speed internet, that is for sure. This cost me money.
Thanks for your response!
thank you for the info...sm
I'm considering asking for a trial at it, wish me luck!
appreciate the info
I think animals need a voice and things like PETA, no kill shelters, animal wildlife preserve are very important in our day and age of technology. We need them as much as they need us.
I think they all have the same info....sm
Because MT is a tiny community and we share the misery well.
I understand what you're saying (and it sucks to be in the situations you were in) but I do believe that if we are adequately vigilant we'll know what we need to. OTOH, then there's me, and I don't care what they do as long as there's work. So I get where you're coming from.
I just would like to see an end to the destructionist thinking about MTSOs and MT in general. :)
Good discussion!
Have you tried looking for the info
on QNET? Might be available there.
I have info on them...
I didn't work for them because a family emergency came up when i was just finished with their training. The lady is really nice, but their training modules are a bit silly. You have to learn their platform to use it to train and then why bother doing the training because you just figured it out on your own..silly.
thanks for the info

Hello. My name is Chris. I am getting ready to take my final exam for medical transcriptioning. Does anyone have any advice for me? How is it to actually get paid for doing this? I have been studying for this for so long I don't know what I'll do if I ever get a job where I do get paid for it. Thanks for any ideas.
Where do you get your info?
Are you in the banking business? Where do you get your info? Last year I was approved for a $30,000 home equity loan with no prob. (Btw, got the loan for "just in case" what with daughter going to college, etc. I used about $5,000 of that last year and paid it back within a couple of months). 3 years ago, when DH lost his business, we refinanced the house to assume what debt was left from the business with no prob, and btw, his FICO score is excellent too. It is hard for me to think i should "fix what isn't broken."
Thanks for this info...sm
Well, as much as I have enjoyed using Carnival, they have lost my business. I hope the person who thought up that response gets fired.
I'd love to see the link, so I'll Goggle it.
I wonder if Carnival is the only U.S. owned cruise line. Shame on them.
On CNN, I heard that other countries have been donating money. Why doesn't the person taking the calls from other countries ask if they could send nearby cruise ships instead of money (in a diplomatic way, of course)?
Thanks for letting me know that cruise ships was at least thought of.
You know, I want to help so bad, and I just know there's an answer to all this suffering that someone hasn't thought of. It's too much pain for anyone to bear.
Need some info! Help!!!
Hello! I am going to test for a new job next week. This will involve op notes, H&P, consults and discharge summaries. I have about 6 years exp in Radiology and about 8 months doing H&P, office notes, consults and very minimal in-office op notes. Where can I get practice tapes or anything else that will give me a chance of passing this test? Please help!
Thanks for info ... sm
on what they'll do when they catch me using it for transcription. I had posted earlier that I signed up for unlimited LD with Bell South as part of a package for $20/month. I told the call-center lady from India why I needed it, and she said that was no problem. A few days later, Bell South sent me a brochure advertising all the good things about the service and, in smaller print, I read "voice to voice only". It's good to know that I won't be hauled off to jail, so thanks for sharing what they said to you. If they called me on this, I was going to blame it on the call-center lady (she really should know the rules and regs on what she is selling; after all, she called me).
It's interesting, though, that when Bell South sent the brochure, they also sent an "agreement" outlining the billing and legal stuff. You need a magnifying glass to read it, but I've gone over it a few times, and it doesn't mention anything about voice-to-voice. You'd think they mention that in the agreement instead of on the brochure. I think I remember Vonage being a little expensive, so I'll probably go back to Qwest, and get their small business plan for $25/mo.
thanks for the info
Thanks for the explanation. I took the training for ASR but afterwards never received any of the work (even though a couple of my accounts are using it for some of the dictators). Still doing the MT'ing.
Thanks for the info dd

A bit of info (sm)
I've never worked for Accuscribe, but I did meet the owner once and felt she was incredibly nice. We had a long talk at a convention. I liked the idea that she said she paid premiums to MTs who most helped out their coworkers.
In the past 4 years or so, the only bad thing I've heard is that they don't pay for spaces and that they require noncompete agreements, etc., before they will test MTs. If you are applying for IC work, then a noncompete agreement is dodgy legally; you might want to consult your attorney and accountant to look over the paperwork before deciding. [If you don't have an attorney and an accountant, you have no business being an IC, IMHO.]
As far as I know, they still use DocQScribe as they were the company that first field-tested it when it was developed. (MQ bought it from the software company.) As you've probably already found out, there are those who love and those who hate DQS. It's a nice platform when the demographics import feature works well; otherwise you end up entering a lot of data that you're not paid for. Even with demo importing, you'll still end up losing lots of lines for things like date of service/admission/discharge, referring/requesting physician names, and names/addresses for the courtesy copies, all stuff we used to get paid for as recently as 2-3 years ago.
Perhaps you'll post your experience if you go further with this company?
Thanks for the info! (nm)

Wow, thanks very much for the info!...nm

More info please sm
Can you give a little more information? What else does he talk about? Where is he inserting the scope?
More info
Nothing on ALMA. What does the rest of the report indicate?

I don't have any medical background. There is a local Tech school offering a Certificate in Medical Transcriptionist. It costs $1560, but includes everything you need for the course. The info said you can do the work at your own pace. Some people finish in 5 months some in 9. How much do most people make to start off with?
Wow , thanks for the info....
that sounds like way too much work and not enough pay.
TMI (too much info)
YUK
Thank you for that info
I was planning to use a small electric heater in my home office and turn our furnace way down (that runs on propane) during the day as I spend all day in my office anyway (a third bedroom). There was some program on TV recently that said it would actually be more economical to do it this way if you were just heating one small room. Now, I don't know.... I am sure the electric prices per unit are going to rise as well so I may be no further ahead in any event. We are at least "locked in" on our propane price for this season and on a budget plan. Of course, it will depend on our winter how much we end up using obviously too.
I also bought me one of those "cuddle wraps" that zip & snap around you that I thought I could wear while working. I also bought me several pairs of thermal underwear and sweats. I should still be able to turn the thermostat down a couple extra degrees if I bundle up. :)
Oh, we also use a humidifier in the winter and it does help a lot as the moist heat makes you certainly feel warmer.
Any other info? NM
