TTS- making 4 cpl as IC but have great - Escription equals......

Posted: Jun 28, 2014

So much has been posted about this company recently. I have no idea why so much said against the company but know how it is with me. I work my hours and hardly ever hear a peep out of any of the team there. No interaction with the boss, no interaction with the team, just work, do my hours and get paid. I know others complain about what they make but my Escription is super good and I make at least $150.00 per day, more some days, have made as much as $175-$180 in a day but mostly around $150. That is $18.75 an hour and that to me is very good pay now days, especially with what MTers are being paid. Our platform on our particular account is excellent, even with the ESLs and I am very glad to have VR now with as many ESLs as we have. Others can complain, put down the company but I know how it is with me and that is my story.

Suggest everyone - ignore this post

as it is put here for the express purpose to antagonize those who have had less than a good experience with this company. Gloating at the expense of others is hardly a meritable attribute. This seems much like trying to saddle up a dead horse.

Why the hating? This is a true post and why - so bitter?

I see almost continuously really bad things about the company and I just decided to post what I can do and do there. Since when is truthfulness comparable with antogonizing? Others can say, oh you only make 4 cpl, let me show you another place where you can make more but yet I am not able to tell the truth? Sorry but here tis.

oh get over it. favorable posts are allowed - just like the growls. NM

I have been working for TTS for about 6 months and think they are a good company. I came from a larger company and they would just treat you like a number, I swear I had 5 or 6 supervisors in about a year and a half. Always getting a new account in my work pool. At TTS I have a primary account and it is rarely low on work and I just love eScription. I also have their United Healthcare Plan. HTH.

I just started at TTS - sm

and I was working for another MTSO on Meditech where I never could make my minimum line count; in 3 months, only made it twice. Working at TTS I hit it the 1st full day with escription. I know a lot of people have had a lot of bad to say about it, but I was with MModal for 2 years and Nuance for 2 years and it's waaaaaay better than either of those!

TTS - Good Luck

TTS started out as a good company for me. Then they started griping at me for every little thing. I tried to please them and follow their guidelines, it just wasn't enough. Maybe it depends on the account you're put on. I was put on an account that was very strict and there was no pleasing anybody. So glad I'm out of that mess. The QA people on my account were not helpful and were a tad rude to deal with. Good riddance.

I also left TTS because of nit picking in general - there is a lot going on behind the scenes

If they want to get rid of you they will find a way and they found a way to get rid of me. If it was not one thing it was another. Instead of accepting their nit picking I questioned them on the nonsense. If you want to get along, bow your head and say you are sorry and NEVER EVER question their decisions as crazy as they may seem.

I have rnever heard anything to say sorry about - hardly hear from them ever

The people are almost mute as far as I am concerned, never hear a peep out of them. What did you do to have to say sorry?

I did nothing to say I'm sorry about. - just asked questions.

[ In Reply To ..]
You just take what they dish and never question why they make decisions and if they lash out at you or start to nit pick you best be humble and bow your head to their authority.

I had the same experience - former IC

I contracted with TTS for many years and it was a good company until about 2-3 years ago. Things changed and not for the better. The last 6 months they did everything possible to make working for them miserable, i.e. took away good accounts and gave me a horrible account, changed schedule, etc. No longer there and am so much happier.

My account went to VR a few months ago. The docs who cannot do VR because they cannot talk worth a crap still have to be typed. The best part is, instead of making 10 cpl, we now get paid 6 cpl to do it. Basically, I am now making what I made about 11 or 12 years ago. Yeah, yeah…I know company.........you keep telling me how I am actually coming out ahead. I hear ya, I just don't believe ya! ...

I'm always over 200 until I get Mr. Mumblemouth who knows he is not forming actual words when he hums through the PE, as my counts plummet to as loiw as 75 LPH. Then I get a long report from an excellent fast-talking dictator and my LPH jumps to 340. Question: Why is it that the MTSO does not comprehend the fact that our production depends on the capability of the provider to dictate correctly? The horrid dictators are never told they are doing anything wrong as ...

I worked for LabCorp for 7 years - started at $14/hr - left 7 yrs later at $19.86/hour -- company has own credit card for employees - called a Clear Card - available to ALL employees - Regular working hours. EASY transcription!!! Could do it in my sleep! Benefits. Had a lot of overtime if you wanted it - ($28 an hour when I left - at time and a half). I would recommend LabCorp to EVERYONE! They also have data entry if interested. lower pay, though.& ...

I was just informed that, even though I worked OT in my time zone (PST) and before my shift (second shift), their day is in CST, so anything after their midnight (CST) goes to the next day - that days and hours count in CST. Geez, maybe I should be working my shift in CST hours. That could be nice. I would get to start 2 hours earlier and stop at a more decent hour. This stinks like week-old fish, and I'm thinking the Calif EED might look at it a different way! ...

I get 1 report, finish that, and then spend the next 5 to 10 minutes pushing that freaking button hoping I get the next job before somebody else does, all the while our TL says how wonderful we all are to keep up that TAT and make her look good. Yeah she gets the bonus and I go on food stamps, what a wonderful company this is! ...

It is very interesting to me, now that I have completed the Allied MT course, that grammar was were never taught, besides in high school. The BOS was required, but no emphasis was ever placed on needing excellent grammar skills. I am completely discouraged by the numerous negative and cynical remarks on this site. MT is a field I choose because I wanted a second career. I am a recent widow, and frankly feel very down because of the many of the comments. Still without a job and very discou ...

Please see the following article from - I think - Business Week, regarding the buy-out of Spheris. I think it should make us all breathe a little easier. It seems to clarify that there are 2 separate worlds, and that MQ intends to keep its U.S.-based transcription entirely separate from CBay's India-based transcription: Spheris, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Delaware court on Wednesday, already has two buyers lined up for the privately owned company: MedQuist Inc. ...

the work seems to disappear? I was doing over 400 lph and now no work. This happens every time I have great lph. Can companies do a switch-a-rooney, keeping the work away from people or can the platform be 'fixed' that if you hit a certain lph, no work will download to you? I'm really curious about this. I've been watching this happen for a couple months now. ...

So, I got this super long report with HORRIBLE audio. When I got finished it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese it had so many blanks. I didn't even CONSIDER sending it to QA as the audio was just terrible and there was NO way I was sending a report that long...and then get paid 3 cents a line because it might put me over 5% QA submission. So, I just sent it straight through, expecting to get a call from my CCM on why I sent so many blanks, which, of course I was prepared ...

I was an IC for her for a short while. She is great to work for but very quality driven, as she should be. The accounts are varied but very interesting. Here's her website: http://www.clktranscription.com/ I took a different medical transcription position and couldn't do both. That being said, contact her if you're looking for something different in ways of transcription subjects. ...

Why don't all of us who are tired of everything join forces and form our own company. We live all over the country, know how to do the work, know how to QA, know different platforms. Hundreds of us together could market our own vicinity and work together like a coop. We would all make the big bucks. It has to work, as we are the people who keep the large companies in business. Coops work with any other business, why not with this. What do you think ...

wouldn't it be really great if there was some sort of email address for us to contact our hospitals directly...without the M*Modal propaganda?

I am a former MT (laid off) who worked for a University teaching hospital for 16 years doing transcription. After Nuance took over I took a job at the same University teaching hosp. doing outpatient clerk position. I am thinking of enrolling in classes for coding because this hospital has a coder training program that starts you at over $19 an hour, just have to be enrolled in school to apply for the job. They do training classes as part of your work day and then you study on your own to get cer ...

words in her native language (Chinese) and I'm getting a string of her reports (of course)--- and I know it's going to push me over the 10% QC limit. She will dictate like this (and she does it AT LEAST 5-6 times per report: The patient is in atrial eh, eh, eh (insert chinese word here--probably means flutter but it sounds something like "me-ah-plee." I think she just can't think of the English word so she says it in Chinese, always preceeded by "eh, eh, eh." &nb ...

My QA scores have been primarily 100%, the lowest something like 99.6 and very infrequently anything less than 100%. My QC scores are consistently 0% as I never send anything to QC. I work my schedule without exception. Even when there is no work, I remain logged in and ready to work. My work is excellent as I have been transcribing for a very long time. I sent my TSM an email that I was resigning. The reply was "I'm sorry to hear that you are planning on resigning." I was not planning on ...

Just had to share my Goodwill find. Yesterday I found a split-key clackety key ergonomic keyboard for $1.65!! I love it. It is made by Belkin (I didn't know they made keyboards).
