Is there a list of companies that offshore work? - adkmt


Posted: Mar 01, 2012

I'm trying to find new work and have tested with some places, but before I make any decision I want to know for sure if they offshore or not.  Specifically Accentus and Intellitype/Lofin so far.

Thanks.

Who outsources... - Ex-MT

Of course, M-Modal does, too....but you probably already know that.

they are all Outsourced, but several of them Offshore. - n/m

My bad... - Ex-MT

Ooops, you're right....I meant to say "offshore," not outsource. :-)

Again, I suppose most folks know that M-Modal offshores, but I mention it just in case someone doesn't know and truly wants to avoid those companies that do.

look at their websites - you usually can tell

For example, one large MTSO lets on like they don't offshore, but when you look at their website you will see places to apply in Delhi, Coimbatore, Manila and so on. If there is the word Global in the name, that's a tipoff too!

Does anyone know specificaly about Accentus or Intellitype/Lofin? - adkmt

I can't even find a website for Lofin or Intellitype.

Accentus does not offshore - sadie

They are a Canadian-based company, though. I worked for Zylomed when Z was bought by Accentus, and there is no offshoring.

Companies That Do Not Offshore
Feb 05, 2011

This may have been asked and answered here before, but I am searching for transcription companies that absolutely, positively do not offshore any transcription work.  Does anyone know of such a transcription company?  I'm tired of helping MTSOs send my work overseas after a few months of working on an account.  They first start asking for MT input on identifying which speakers need help to be better VR speakers, and then the next thing you know, they're sending ...

Companies That -do Not- Offshore That Use EditScript?

This is, of course, not a technical help question, but my original post was deleted from the Company Board because I mentioned a "platform."  This post is also less likely to be seen here than there, but so be it.

Transtech And Companies Who Say They Do Not Offshore.

Noticed that all we have are foreign dictators and the difficult dictations.  A lot of the hospitals use 2 services and those that offshore are known to send OUT all the easy dictators because....the foreign countries cannot understand the difficult dictators either...not even if the doctor is from their own country.  They have to send them easy  work so it does not look AS bad when it comes back and the doctors don't complain too much, or then do not want their wor ...

List Of Transcription Companies
Jul 13, 2013

I came upon a great website that has tons of MTSOs and other types of transcription companies listed.  Some are out of date, but most are accessible.  Some say they are hiring; others say they are not.  It's a timesaver, for sure. http://freelancetranscriptionistroad.com/list-of-transcription-companies/ It's a website run by professional MTs.  ...

Offshore Transcription Stories Wanted- Medical Malpractice Cases Related To Offshore Transcription M
Oct 15, 2009

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes.  I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.  While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...

Short Cut For List Punctuation In A Drug List? (Fluency)
Dec 06, 2014

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...

FYI...QA Is NOT Offshore
May 16, 2012

Someone is spreading LIES. QC and QA are both done onshore. I know because I work in QA. We audit both offshore and onshore MTs, not the other way around and our managers are onshore too. When Nuance bought Focus, they changed all that. This info is not a secret. Just ask HR. It seems the TLs need to be educated on this as well. ...

Offshore - Revisited
Oct 28, 2009

Following is an older article but I feel it is worth circulating now. Most people have no idea who has access to their medical records. Though this article was written 6 years ago, it is an even more common practice today in 2009 for hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to outsource their dictation/patient records to other countries  - thereby not only making it impossible for transcriptionists in the United States to continue to make a living working in the US as a transcri ...


OFFSHORE QUESTION
Dec 13, 2009

I work for a company that swears that they do not offshore, and never will.  I actually trusted them on this.  I guess I'm a true fool. Anyway, I just found out that the account that I work on is shared by more than just the one MTSO, and at least one of those DOES offshore to India.  Therefore, it doesn't really matter what my MTSO is doing, I am working on an account that is shared with India.  How did I discover this?  Because I work on EditScript, and the ...

Offshore Rant
Jan 21, 2011

With workloads running low, wouldn't you think the companies would end offshore transcription and give the work to American MTs?  The only thing that keeps me from bringing this up to HR is that I genuinely like the company I work for and I like both my accounts.  There is just this one thorn in the side ...    ...


Offshore Coding
Mar 11, 2011

Interesting info I think.  I found out recently that the coding team being built in India has pretty stringent requirements.  First of all, they will need to have a bachelor's degree in a life science field and then must have a CCS AHIMA certification.  Most of our US based coders don't have bachelor's degrees!  Sounds like they are quite serious about being successful at invading into the US coding market.  ...

Offshore Vent
Dec 10, 2011

I'm an MT here in the U.S. I once received an email from someone from India (how they got my email, I don't know) inquiring about working for me. I told them in no uncertain terms that even if I did own my own MT business, that I would never, EVER, hire any offshore people. All business I had would stay here in this country. This offshoring to unqualified (IMO) "transcriptionists" has got to stop. I heard on the news the other night where some industries are starting to bring the jobs ...

Coding Sent Offshore
Nov 21, 2012

I tried posting before but not sure if it went through.  I have been considering coding, having been an MT for nearly 20 years, but do you think coding jobs are likely to be sent offshore like many MT jobs have been?  I would hate to study very hard and invest more money and time in a career that could go down the tubes like MT has, but would like more opportunity for growth and advancement.  ...

Outshourcing/offshore
Aug 07, 2014

I am new to the MT industry I have just graduated this year.  I have been trying to find this out but for some odd reason while companies do it there doesn't seem to be anyone who can give me an answer.  Why can companies send work over to say India and it's called outsourcing and there doesn't seem to be a problem, yet if I want to work outside my country I can't and I'm considered offshore?  Like really how does that work?  People from another ...
