Webmedx has the best benefits, all around sm
that I have encountered with a service. I end up using my PTO for sick days and other, but if I didn't, I would have 10 paid days of vacation; 5 days the first year, 10 days the next 4 years. No sick leave, per se, just all called PTO. Health insurance is reasonable for an individual, high for family. But the insurance is really good coverage.
DECENT BENEFITS/PTO/HOLIDAYPAY
what company are you with that you would get paid downtime, paid pto/vacation/holidays AND decent insurance, need to know that company's name please
Fair pay? Decent benefits? Wow, you really

Not my company, but I think WebMedX has you do this. nm

I bet the company is Webmedx too. nm
I only know one company who calls it ASR, and that is Webmedx

Where is there a decent company???
I would like to know exactly WHERE to apply to a decent company that is not the same as or worse than MQ? I have checked into several and they all leave a lot to be desired. I have lots of experience, have 99% QA reports, and would like to be paid for it. I have not found anybody who is willing to pay me any more than I am making at MQ, plus they have a lot of rules about strict schedules, etc. that were a lot worse than MQ. I would love to quit MQ, but where is there a better place???? Let's hear some POSITIVE answers for a change----.
Couldn't - really dislike that platform. Quit the company that uses it. Could not get a decent l
went from 385 lines an hour to 200 lines an hour tops on Bayscribe.
I could not adapt - so quit. Much happier now, back to having my own accounts.
Webmedx 10 cents a line sounds good!
Do they have lots of work and not run out a lot? Can you have a more "flexible" schedule as an IC? Last but not least - the tax issue: Is it difficult doing your own taxes when an IC? Thanks for any help you can give.
Good MTs won't work for 7-8 cpl. Pay decent $

Where can I get a good resume at a decent price??
Anyone used a company with good results that didn't charge an arm and a leg???
crash was decent, the Notebook is good
they dont make them like they used to tho !
They have a post on the company board about benefits, etc. sm
I do ortho and love Keystrokes. I know that they are known for radiology, but I have plenty of work, a GREAT manager and a steady paycheck. My sister and daughter also work for Keystrokes and they are clinic and hospital work. They are both happy as well.
What about benefits? I make 50k a year working for a company
out of my home full time. No gas money, no traveling, no printing, faxing, and I get full benefits. How is making 50000 as an MTSO good money? I really just don't get it!
I do believe that is a good rate with benefits
and I probably would take it myself. I agree with 'my thoughts', that no one can tell you what you'd make with any real accuracy. It depends on outside intrusions, job specifics, your focus/dedication, etc. I type around 250-275 lines an hour if things are running relatively smooth. The best you can do is 'guesstimate' what one would make. Give yourself some room there, and multiply 0.08 x 225 or so for a realistic estimate....about $18.00 an hour/$720 a week.
All I want for Christmas is a decent job, a decent job, a decent job.
One that's not 95% ESLs, steady workload, steady accounts, good communication, office staff who aren't rude buckpassers, decent line rate, no offshoring, direct deposit, flexible schedule, not having to do 50+ 30-second reports per day, and a platform conducive to speed. I know it's not possible, but a girl can dream, can't she? This is, after all, my Christmas wish list. I never get what I want for Christmas. Why is that too much to ask for? It doesn't even matter anyways. After Christmas, I QUIT MT!!!! Burger King is just down the street, and they give food discounts.
That was with full benefits, which are the same benefits as an in-office employee for the QA staff..
However, I hear that their current QA staff are being asked to reach numbers that are out of sight and goals are basically impossible.
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
One year and you make decent money? What is decent money to you?
k
IC positions offer no benefits, employee positions off full benefits, so if you do not need
benefits, then IC would be best.
Company newsflash: THOSE WHO RETAIN GOOD STAFF RETAIN GOOD CLIENTS
Hight staff turnover = high client turnover if you don't pay attention.
good company
 I have been working for JLG for the past month or so and I have to say I am very impressed. This company delivers what they pitch in the interview. They do small things to make you feel part of the company and to make you feel important, but the best part is that so far they have paid on time, with absolutely no hassels of any kind. They strive to make sure that you do not run out of work. I am now assigned to 3 different accounts and so far the work has been more than I can do. They also pay comparable line rates according to other companies across the board.
I wanted to put this out there just in case someone is looking for a position. As I understand it, one of their requirements is that you have 3 years experience with acute care transcription. It has been stated to me several times that they are looking to hire a large number of transciptionsts, so possibly some of you can look into their company. So far, I am very pleased, especially coming from the last company that I worked for. I will be posting about that company later.
Good company
Where did all former SS employees go. I am looking for a good company.
GOOD COMPANY
PROSCRIPT - GREAT company... try them.
I'm in good company, then! :) Thanks!

good company to QA for?
Any advice? I need a new job with some good benefits.
Good company
I work with AccuStat and so do 10 friends of mine. We all love it. The pay is different but that is designated by the clients and not Accustat. You will love working with them. You will see that any bad remarks made about them are usually by MTs that were fired for poor work. That is true of most of these bad things written on these companies. You made a good choice! AccuStat is a great company!!
What is a good company?
Okay, Spheris does not sound good and Ascend sounds like they do not pay. So anybody have any suggestions for a possibly to be ex-MQer.
Good company
I work for one, too. They don't bother me - and the communication is very good. What specialities do you transcribe? Therein may lie the answer to your problem. If you have limited your experience by transcribing radiology or clinic work for years, losing any acute care or other specialty experience that you may have had - then the problem does not lie in the company, but in the fact of the path that you have chosen.
good company SOMETIMES
They will use ya and be great when they need ya. They will dump ya in a heartbeat when they find someone else who they can pay less and all the sudden you have no work. They are unethical and only care about bottom dollar. Me and 7 of my friends left them when they did this to us.
Good company
They used to be under another name and were bought out. There's plenty of work and you don't deal with a huge staff, just 2 people and that's it.
Good PT company
 Does anyone know an excellent company who hires part-time transcriptionists and furnishes equipment?
Good company
I haver orked for Medquist for about eight years or so as a PT. I have no problems, they pay on time and are a good company to work for. They do supply the computer and whatever you. I was using my own computer intil they changed their program and I then began using their computer. It is free. Good luck.
Good company
Wow, I just reviewed my post and the spelling is terrible. I could say I just got through working about five hours and I am ready to quit, but I apologize for the errors.
good company definitely!!
I have worked for this company for over three years. They have bent over backwards to keep me happy and my pay has always been fair and on time. I communicate with at least 30 other Accustat EMR MTs who would agree wholeheartedly!!!
A lot of changes in a company good or bad?
A company I've been working for since October on an awesome account is making some changes recently that I'm not exactly thrilled with. I love my account and that is all. It is a great money making account when there is work, A BIG WHEN!!! Work is consistently low and now we are supposed to work a certain shift and not go outside that shift. The problem being we are often running out of work or work starts late and we often can't get it finished in that time period. The biggest thing keeping me there is my production on that account when there is work. The company is now requiring a lot of paperwork to keep up with hours worked, line production, QA's reports, requiring us to sign in to 2 different sites to fill out required information along with a productivity sheet (all taking up time that we don't get paid for). I've also been told by HR that I will need to get a secondary to make my lines during my shift but also told that they dont' have a secondary acct available. I've been asking for one for 5 months now without success and finally just got a second job a couple months ago.
Now for my consideration I am also working at this second company where I don't make as much an hour because I'm still working up my production, but work is available when I need it, more than I need actually. I'm never sitting there refreshing queue begging for reports and I don't have to worry about wasting time.
I have the option to remain PT and do both or quit the 1 with inconsistent work (but the awesome acct.) or do the other one FT and cut down on a whole lot of stress. I just hate to say goodbye to that awesome account.
Can someone recommend a good company?
You can only find out so much from a company's website......of course they are not going to include "not enough work to keep you busy" or "so much work you will never leave your desk again" or even better yet "we really never send you a paycheck." I am looking for a full-time home-based position, preferably clinic, and I do have experience. Can someone recommend a company?!?!?!?!
Normally a good, fair company
Generally, I'm left alone to do my work, which is what I prefer. Not much contact with my coordinator unless I initiate it or do something stupid. In days gone by there was enough work to go around, and on occasion when there was a backlog there were ample bonuses. That hasn't happened in a long while. There was also a quarterly reveiw bonus (for 100% QA), but there have been staff changes that evidently have precluded reviews as we haven't had one in 2 or 3 quarters, now (and thus, no bonus).
The pay isn't great, but the work is good, the platform easy, most of the dictators clear. I have just general clinic accounts, but I understand the VA accounts pay more.
I've seen this a number of times before. Each time of absolutely bone dry work was immediately after an ad (and I suppose subsequent hiring). It's disappointing. What's worse is that when I was hired I was probably the cause of someone else being out of work. . .
Can anyone suggest a good company
Not perfect just decent, I have a year experience so deffinately still learning, I work as an IC on Acute Care but the work runs out and I want to keep this job and have another MT job for I'm getting tired of my office job... Figure I might as well do what I like for a living
Any suggestions for a GOOD company?
I have 15 years experience. Looking for a company that is very flexible on scheduling (full time student also) and treats employee like a human.
Good Company to Work For
I really need to make a change. Can those of you out there that REALLY LIKE the company you work for send me a line? I have already applied to quite a few, and now it's decision time. I appreciate any input you can give me. Thanks in advance! PJ
MDI is good, has troubles like any other company.
I love it; if I have an issue, I speak to my team leader and it gets resolved. My paycheck is on time and I support my kids.
You are correct, you should just sit in a corner and type and on your days off, look for another job.
There are too many companies out there to be unhappy and bitter. Hope you find one that suits you better.
Does anyone know of a good company for radiology...
with non-teaching hospitals and decent rates? 
Good company for Radiology
WEBMEDX - and they are hiring Radiology MTs right now.
Any good rad company recommendations?
Does anyone know of a company that a Transcriptionist with 23 years of experience would find to be to her liking; i.e., plenty of work, good dictators, respectable company to work for, etc.
You are not going to find a good company
didn't pay. Well, SS will work you to death and with the ESL's you will have to work 24/7 just to make enough to buy 10 gallons of gas. Does this tell you anything?
well you must have a good offshore company because the one that I QA for
is just horrendous!!! Horrendous is the word I would use for them on a good day!!! But I need the job and the company I work for is offshoring most of the work because we cannot get transcriptionists here to work their schedules. It bothers me on several levels, especially that the hospital does not know about it.
Seeking good company
 Anyone have any info on Eight Crossings, Inc, or Sierra Medscribe?
Or know any services that will either accept MTs with dial-up, or help pay for satellite?
SS is a good company. I work as QA though so I don't know from
an MT perspective on the work load. Been with them almost a year.
