IMEDX company merger question - Wondering if I should stay

Posted: Aug 15, 2014

Can anyone comment as to when Imedx took over your company how things changed. Anticipating changes now for TT as the line rate is good with bonuses, etc. Will Imedx change pay rates? Will MTs no longer be employee status but have to change status to IC?

My previous employer was bought out by ImedX and after a few months my wonderful doctors were 'transitioned'. In other words, sent to India. The account I work on now does not generate nearly the income I was making before. Plus you have to switch to their software....Turboflow Falcon. Terrible learning curve on that. Looking for a new job myself.

I thought merger was in March? - That would be almost 6 months

Reg Imedx/TT merge - TT employee

I work for TransTech and so far we have not had a change in our line rates. Now, that is not to say it won't happen, but it has been about a year since the merge. I have also not lost any of the accounts I edit to overseas. Imo, in this day and age, you risk acquisitions/buyouts I think whether you go. I am trying to hang in there until I can retire, which hopefully can happen in 2 years. Good luck to you.

Agreed. No change so far - Another TT employee

So far nothing has changed. Worst case scenario, I take up an IC job on the side for more work if need be. Thankfully I only need to work part-time, but can understand why FT MTs who support a family on their income are worrying. I wish all of you the best, and hopefully any change will be minimal or we are put on other accounts.

pay rate - JLo

As an employee, do they pay hourly/salary/per line and what sort of starting pay do they offer? I am taking test for them this weekend for Oncology MT position. Nothing was stated as far as pay. Thanks.

It hasn't been a year - Ex-TT

The "merger" (more like buyout) occurred in March, so that was only a little less than 6 months ago. I hightailed it out of there when it was announced.

still no answers - inthethickofit

my company was merged the first of the year (January). Within just the last 30 days, work is briskly going offshore... all went smoothly, w/o bumps then all of a sudden it was transitioned. Just waiting to see what happens while keeping other irons in the fire waiting for the ultimate axe to fall.

What company were you at? - Curious

That was about 6 months then..... - Which TT is coming up on

[ In Reply To ..]
If the merger happened in March. You are talking about merger with ImedX right?

Yep, me too....looks like the next big change - sm - InkMT

[ In Reply To ..]
is Sept. 1 once the new platform/training is all done. Still no new work for those of us w/o work though. So sitting back and waiting to see what happens, trying to do more work at my other MT job in the meantime.

Who is training on new platform? - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I work on Escription, so that will go away and we will have to learn a new platform?

Must be a different company then, they - InkMT

[ In Reply To ..]
have taken over so many of late. But most of us w/o work now and switching over to a VR platform now by Sept. 1 we were told.

I'm with TT/IMedX now and haven't noticed any real change...sm - dusty

other than the new email that we're supposed to transition to. I still get mostly a ton of work on my primary account. I'm betting that, if they're going to move all the work to India, it's going to take many months or even a year or two to train the Indians on all the accounts, and they may even keep a few U.S. workers for proofers for the toughies, who knows? Looks like they moved an account or two in South Dakota over, from what I read on this board; I'm guessing the harder clinics/hospitals will be the last to go.

In the meantime, I'm plugging away, but looking for other work, like I always was.

The tough accounts - MTwarrior, lol

[ In Reply To ..]
will probably stay stateside. I've done proofreading before for offshore work and the QA was pathetic - with the easiest docs ever. If an account isn't satisfied with the work that IMedX "transitions," then maybe they'll keep the Transtech MTs on it. The only thing that matters is what the client wants.

My company "merged" with Imedx several months ago. Here is my question to those who have had their company merge with Imedx: What happens if/when your account goes to India?

An MT (or supervisor) was kind enough several days ago to come on this website and share the inside info she had about events occurring in the near future such as accounts, some of which I believe are accounts that support my family, going offshore. I appreciate that MT very much stepping forward. I and others have since asked some questions which have not been answered, maybe because the thread was several days old when the questions were asked or perhaps that MT hasn't come ba ...

I had an administrative role at my company before it was taken over by a big player. The following things happened. 1. The supervisors at my company were demoted to MTs unless they had a college degree and were willing to travel extensively. 2. The QA staff were kept but their pay changed from hourly to production with strict quotas. Almost immediately they had to QA terrible work from other countries. Every one of them quit before long because they made about half of what they previously made ...

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago. I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously. While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here. I will offer my advice. Treat it like a death of a spouse. Mourn your loss and look towards the future. Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months. Go with ...

I guess this is just a question to those who have been part of a Nuance merger in the past. Were you able to keep the schedule you were working before the merger, or were you herded into the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift spots? I work split shift over two of them right now. Anyone allowed to keep working M-F after a merger? I suppose I'm mainly wondering if I can continue to pick my own random schedule after the Trasncend merger is complete. ...

No one on this board seems to give specifics when they get canned from IMEDX. So my question is this: Can each person who got laid off/fired let us know more details. Were you PT or full time, did they call or did they email, did you have options, or just firing. How many lines did you do per day. Some of us may not be in your situation and you may have been just an employee that was not worth IMEDX's time and they got rid of you while they may keep all the others, or full timers.

So now Medquist and M*Modal are merging. Wonder what this is going to mean for all of us working for companies that utilize M*Modal. Now I understand why WMX sold out to Nuance. Seems to me no one wants to hire Medquist because of their terrible quality so now they are swallowing up competitors platforms and bullying their way into accounts. They have already stopped allowing other companies to use their DocQScribe platform. Interested to know anyone else's thoughts. ...

I am afraid all accounts will have to use voice recognition because that is the way things are changing. No more straight typing.

Can anyone currently working in QA at Nuance comment on how the position is compensated. Do you get an hourly wage like we currently do at Transcend or can we expect to be switched to production based. Do you even have QA staff?

Does anybody out there have any idea how many Transcenders quit after the merger? I know this would be an estimate, of course. I just participated in a mandatory conference call and it's the first time I actually heard a higher-up (regional supervisor) admit that people had been quitting. I figured that was the case because of the increased TAT situations lately (especially on the weekends) so I wasn't surprised in the leas ...
