Does anyone have information about Accentus? - sm

Posted: Oct 18, 2011

I received an email that they saw my resume on this board and want me to apply. I've never heard of them so I'd appreciate any info, good, bad or otherwise. Thanks.

I was coming here to ask what people's - sm

experiences have been with this company. I know they were Zylomed and Transolutions, but now they combined to make Accentus.

What I know - Recruiter just called

[ In Reply To ..]
They were three companies.
Accentus - Canada (IC)
Transolutions - Acute Care in the US (Employee)
Zylomed - Ambulatory Care in the US (IC)
Now all Accentus.
They seemed nice and line rates were decent but they are production based. Employee positions with differentials for difficulty and shifts. Probably not for anyone who just wants to do the minimum required. The recruiter stated that they have plenty of work and told me what openings she had that would be best for my experience and preferred schedule. I am waiting to talk with a supervisor on a clinic account that is Mon-Fri with 12hr scheduling.
I will be glad to have work! I hope this helps some. Good luck.

Sorry more specifically - me again

I applied for the acute care, the girl I talked to said they were Transolutions formerly.

Zylomed/Accentus - MTWhoWorksThere

I am very happy at Accentus/Zylomed. They are nice to work for and there are exclusive accounts, which I like because it is my work alone as long as I keep the TAT. I am an IC for them, but there is employee status available. The platform is user friendly, Emdat/Inscribe. The one minus is the low cpl rate for QT lines. It is only 1 cpl and depending on the account, this can add up. Other than that, they are a good company to work for. Hope this helps!!

What is a QT line? - No message, just curious

QT = Qualified Text = templated work - EmdatQA

It might just be headers or it might include templated work like cataract extraction reports. They are paid at a lower rate, usually 1 to 1.5 cents a line, than transcribed work.

Zylo/Ambulatory end hire PT? - Thanks! nm

Zylomed/Accentus - workingmt

Expect the QT lines to make up at least half of your line count daily, possibly more, they template very very heavily. Can't make any money unless you take on tons of work.

What about Transolutions/Accentus - Curious MT

I also am very happy there. It totally depends - on the accounts as to

how many QT lines there are, but they really don't make a huge difference for me. I would take the QT lines to work for them over pretty much any of the MTSOs out there. I love having the exclusives, but I could see it being hard for someone who is used to working a strict schedule switching over to having TAT that they have to work around.

I am considering applying at Accentus as I have been working as an IC but my family really need insurance benefits and it also says they offer a 401K plan.

Hi. I haven't been working for Accentus very long, but long enough that I should be meeting the 200 lph requirement for SR, but I'm still really struggling to do it. I was wondering if anyone else had that experience or if maybe I am entering my time incorrectly or something. I consistently average 165 lph for straight transcription so I feel like 200 is something I shouldn't be struggling so hard to meet, but I am. I love Accentus so far so I don't wa ...

I would be doing cliniic work because I want the flexible 12-hour schedule to fit around a part time job working directly for a small hospital. I may end up being bored, but I want to give it a try. How is the clinic work and how is the Apex system? I have previously worked on DocQspeech and Escription. I really want no more than two accounts and to be mostly just left alone unless I screw something up. Is this possible with Accentus? ...

Medical Transcription just keeps going downhill. They expect more and pay less. I work for Accentus now and actually love my account and got my pay up to 5 cents for SR and 9 cents for transcription, but I have to work 10 hours a day just to make ends meet. They pay based on how many lines you type per hour so it can change every pay period. It's better than what I had at Transcend. The only thing is that my supervisor is a narcissist, very mean, tears you down ...

Looking at these 2 companies closely and wanting to make a change very soon.

Has anyone recently received an offer from them, or curr ...

I am wondering if Accentus uses the MTtest for their testing requirements. I am leary of taking a test with that platform, as I don't believe it is quite "honest."
