Does anyone have any current information about Transcript USA, Spheris, or AccuSTAT of Wisconsin? I have13+ years and I'm looking to leave my current employer (six years at a national). My eyes are swimming trying to figure out the ins and outs of these companies.
 Thanks so much!!

Accustat Carolinas/ Accustat EMR
This company doesn't pay their MTs properly. Work at your own risk. See if they pay.
Transcript USA
Any information on Transcript USA transcription company? Thinking about taking job.
Transcript USA anyone worked for?
Has anybody worked or work for Transcript USA. They seem to be a good company, but I can't find any info on I-net other than their site (good or bad). Just like someone else's opinion about them.
Rapid transcript
Anyone out there know anything about working for them?
Transcript for Allergist
I have the chance to do some overflow work for an allergist on a short-term basis. I've never done that type of medical transcription before. I did listen to a sample tape, and it sounded like something I would be able to handle. I was wondering if anyone here has done transcription for an allergist before and if it's a fairly easy speciality to adapt too. I will get getting her macros and templates.
Has anyone heard of this company called Rapid Transcript?
I need to know if any of you posters know of a company called Rapid Transcript of California (also called RTI); used to be called RTTS years ago.  I am checking around on their profile and business habits. If you have any personal experience with them, please respond.
I don't understand why everyone keeps letting Rapid Transcript advertise...SM
They have been doing this for years. I had to nearly take them to court to be paid for two weeks worth of typing. I can't believe that they are still getting away with this. PLEASE, in the best interest of honest MTs looking for an honest day's wage, STOP ALLOWING THEM TO ADVERTISE ON THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER MT JOB WEBSITE. TIA

accustat
I have never heard of Cort Medical but I have been with AccuStat for 6 monhs now and I love it. The freedom they give is great and the pay is always on time. Tough choice. I would do both!!
AccuStat MT
AccuStat is indeed a great company....I have a LOT of people that will agree believe me...we have all been with them for a month to many years and we all love the company...maybe you were one of the fired ones..all the fired MTs write bad things...
ACCUSTAT EMR
Does anyone have info on this company (South Carolina).
Accustat
This company didn't pay me as well. I guess they pay a lot of MTs well yet miss payments on a lot of other MTs. I got another friend that they didn't pay as well.
Still with Accustat EMR?
Are you still with Accustat EMR? I am contemplating IC position with them.
I like Accustat Carolinas but some do not
Not everyone fits everywhere, I'm treated just fine,,, In my opinion they have different accounts and I think it depends what they put you on... I love my account
AccuStat is awesome!!
They not only have great accounts but they care about their MTs. I love them and I think you are crazy to go anywhere else!!!
Accustat LLC does anyone work for them
 Does anyone know if the pay if 1/2 each pay check of your total lines?
AccuStat has accounts that use this!
nm
AccuStat Wisconsin
Does anyone know if they have clinic work? TIA!
accustat emr (carolina)
they don't pay properly. aside from the cheap pay. you might just waste your time and money.
Accustat has been good to me
Another MT called me and told me that people were talking bad about Accustat. I am aware of MANY MTs that are very happy with this company. Good work equals good pay, on time, every time!! I recommend them to anyone!!
Soft Script and Accustat
I am busting my hump trying to learn SS (I am a newbie with some experience but under a year) and I also am an IC for Accustat, now I have to really work for hours on end to try to get a line count for SS and on my Accustat its a nice account where I can have a line count with normal speed and hardly any ESL's
So basically here is my problem should I keep working for SS ( i have had no problems with pay, of course I don't make much of a line count) or should I just do my Accustat account and quit SS
Did I forget to mention I also have a day job....lol (My hope is to just MT and make some money someday)
SS takes out taxes and IC does not so I going to just go with SS but reading all of these posts makes me think just do my IC job for awhile and stop working three jobs busting my but
2 jobs Accustat and Soft Script
I cannot work for Soft Script anymore the dictators are the worst I have ever heard and Accustat has the best !!!!!! I think I know which job to go with
AccuSTAT in Wisconsin. Great company, IC only. nm

AccuStat EMR/carolinas is a great company!!
AccuStat EMR/Carolinas is a great company!! I can give you names of over 30 MTs besides my own that get paid with no problems!! They do not pay if work is late or of por quality but that is told to us before we start. If you did not get paid, your work must have been bad!! They do pay and they do not lie. Amazing when people get so upset with a company for not being paid...is usually the MTs fault!! This blog doesn't show that though.
If it is Accustat Carolinas..Yes that's true..among the other not so good things.

Good luck.

SPHERIS
I applied with Spheris last week, had my interview on the phone and she never got back with me. I called her and left a message, she called back and said she did not have any work for me. It was posted in the Sunday Paper here, lots of work.
MQ vs Spheris
I was with Medquist before it became Medquist- It used to be Lanier. Then they were sold to Medquist. Then again they were sold to Spheris. I had nothing but problems with the two prior operations, but as Spheris- when I called and asked for a copy of my W2 because I had never received it... I was faxed a copy within 10 mins. /shrug Hope that helps.
Do you mean Spheris?
Or is there some other monster national that is being touted as the next Great Satan?
spheris
Yes, meant Spheris.....
Spheris
If no one has access to our E-mail address and this is the only place that they could have gotten it, how did they as I just got an E-mail from them about applying for a job? So somehow our E-mail addresse are not protected as they say that they are on this board? Did anyone else receive it? I have never posted my resume, or applied for a job throught his board as I own my own MTSO. Makes me wonder about how safe our E-mail addresses are.
Spheris
Hi, I am just about burned out on the Big "S". I have nearly 20 years experience MT'ing. Have worked for edix/spheris for several. I am finding that although I am leveled high I am consistly stuck with a lower level client. This, by manipulation of the Big "S" reduces my income.
Are there any companies at all who are decent to work for, who pay a flat - good - line rate? I AM SICK OF THE MANIPULATIONS.
Line count runs at 1100/day (it is probably a lot more,not sure because Spheris has a way of making it all their way)
I can go to work immediately. Cable, WinXP.
Spheris
I have a gut feeling it is Spheris.
Spheris
I think Spheris can afford MQ and really do not believe MQ is in the position to buyout Spheris but I guess time will tell!
Spheris
Where did you get this information from? Seems rather outrageous to me.
Spheris and MQ
They have made it plain that they want to buy out MQ and say they are going after them. I applied to them but turned them down.
Healthscribe was heavy on outsourcing to India and they bought them out.
Spheris
NO, not a newbie and quite an assumption on your behalf! Would just like to know where this original statement came from or was it a personal statement without any backing. Yes, know Spheris outsources but the assumption that they will go with all Indian MTs is far fetched and would really love to see your source on this. Think you are generalizing here.
Spheris
Can someone tell me anything about how Spheris counts lines?
I've been working for them for a few months now, and I just cannot get my lines up. I've been told it's a 65-char line, including spaces, but I'm not so sure. I've been an MT for nearly 8 years and the least I do is 200/lph. Now, I'm fortunate to make 75/lph.
I also do IC work for someone at 8.5/cpl and never do less than 280/lph with them (and most of the time 300+). I wanted to work with Spheris as a back-up account (part-time), but it doesn't look like it's going to be worth my time, as I can get extra work most of the time from the other company.
I was sure I'd be doing better than this by now! Has anyone else had this experience with Spheris?
How is Spheris?
How is Spheris to work for? Flexibility? Pay? Benefits? Good workflow/steady accounts? Currently with MQ and it's been getting scary. Please give me any info! I'm really interested in health insurance benefits and cost for a family per month. Thanks MTs!
Well, Spheris does some of
Cleveland Clinic (OH) and Cleveland Clinic (FL) accounts. I, for one, have worked on both.
They do a percentage of each, what percentage I'm not sure of.
Does that help?
Spheris is better than that.

Hi Margaret, I worked for them for one month and couldn't stand it.
Spheris
I worked for Spheris when it was Edix and it was awful. Their QA reports make you feel like a 5-year-old, and what consider mark as a "patient care" errors are ridiculous. Here's an example: The report repeatedly stated the patient had problems with RIGHT eye -- must've mentioned right eye 15 times. At the end of the report the patient was sent home with eye drops and because I typed something like "2 drops to the eye twice a day" and did not put RIGHT eye, I was cited for PATIENT CARE error. This happened all the time, I got fed up and quit!
Spheris
My friend worked for them and they cheated her on her pay many times.
spheris
have you heard anything back Terry? I was looking into them as well
Spheris...
is not a company I would ever recommend, especially for a new MT. They have a lot of acute care work and some clinic notes, BUT (and isn't there always a "BUT?") in my experience, as well as that of many other MTs I know, you most likely will have a primary account that has hundreds of dictators on it. You just don't have a chance to ever build your macros/word expansions or normals when you don't hear the same dictator twice in the same month.
Also, you have set hours (with a time clock), as well as minimum line requirements early on. You are not allowed to take longer to get your lines, so you will have a very difficult time reaching what is required of you. New MTs need TIME to get up to speed.
However, that isn't what really turns me off with Spheris. They offshore and are not very open about that; in fact they are rather secretive about that fact. So guess where the best and easiest accounts go?
I do know M-Tec has groups of grads going to Spheris. Personally, I don't think that is doing them a favor. In fact, I know it has caused many a new MT to rethink their new-found profession.
Also, Spheris has tremendous turnover. That says something in itself.
