To my fellow eTrans co-workers, I think I know how the turkey

Misery loves company you know. Who is working with me this Thanksgiving? I was new enough and didn't have PTO to even try to get day off. Making pies night before. Will put turkey in oven while I work and daughters will be taking over handling the rest. I should be able to pop into the kitchen now and again to make sure things are going well. (Their hearts are big, but they are not really the best of cooks). With any luck we can all eat to ...

Does anyone have any recent info on eTrans? Thanks! ...

Anyone work for eTRANS Plus or have any info on them? I saw some archives about them back in 2006, 2008, but nothing recent. Thanks for any info. ...

Anyone work for this co? Are they hiring and do they have work? ...

Any good or bad on this company? Do they also offshore? ...

I have read the archives on pay and line count but can anyone tell me if they make you work set hours? Would their full-time go by lines or hours worked? Thanks. ...

Does anyone know anything about the Medquist/eTrans Plus buy out. I know 2 members of management were "let go." Has Medquist put their MTs on eTrans Plus' accounts? Work seems to be low. ...

will it be 2 separate W2s, but both from MQ? I am no longer with MQ, so I cannot access Ultipro anymore. TIA, ...

Could have saved myself some weekend anxiety. The 877 call in number was Medquist. The CEO tremored through the whole accounce of the buyout. HUH eat my foot they will recognize and keep everything intact. When I asked for Federal Leave when Q bought Spheris they would NOT recognize my time. eTrans made an "error" last pay taking away all my PTO. The sweaty CEO has a bad conscious because eTrans will make as much as MTs in India. Now I know what the Plus in Etrans stood for. ...

I know work is usually slower around the holidays, but I've never known it to be this slow, less than 325 lines for 6 hours. ...

I have been working for this hospital a year, after having worked from home for 15 years. They brought their transcription back in-house and hired me and another transcriptionist around the same time. From the beginning, I was more productive than the other transcriptions, but there was not a minimum quota set at that time that we were aware of, so we were just cruising along. Well, the work started getting behind and they started looking closely at the minutes we were doing, and I w ...

I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you guys for being so caring about each other. When the system went down, you were right there encouraging each other. Somebody gave the site address of the Red/Yello/Green status (which I admit I had forgotten and could not get into E-mail to retrieve it). I went to the site and clicked right and made a shortcut. Others gave instructions on what to do for down time. I just think you all are GREAT!!! It is so nice ...

hire on with Accentus!! Not only will they load your PC with junk software that will make it crash (mine has 3 times so far), but they will be rude and claim you abandoned your job!! Very rude staff and the poster below is an owner. I am just trying to warn others. That is my last word on the issue. ...

Can someone help me get a job there? I am a very hard worker, not afraid of ESL, stick to my schedule, QA 99-100%. I just finished the test, but I was wondering how they grade, based on what, because I didn't get a chance to explain things like headings, use of BOS (using mL for cc, is that already expected throughout the industry) or was everything supposed to be strict verbatim? Also, punctuation and grammar now is expected to be perfect, but if it doesn't interfere ...

I am now down to 3 companies (from 4) trying to make a living at this, wondering what I should do next. I'd like to go get my coding diploma and move on from there as I cannot take this anymore. Four jobs and between all of them I got $700 last week and am still waiting for checks to arrive. I asked one of them why it wasn't DD and they said they would cut and mail the check. Lord knows when the other one will arrive. I don't know, don't YOU ...

Nuance actually had the nerve to send out an email about referring fellow MTs to their company. Either they are that brazen or just clueless as to how bad their company is. I don't advise anyone looking for a job to even consider this field, let alone the worst company I've ever worked for. ...

Fellow team members yahoo IDs? Or is it frowned upon? My company frowns on interacting with fellow employees. It makes you feel so isolated though. Is this a common practice with companies cause I've never really encountered it before? This is my first time working for a big national though, so maybe that's why I haven't encountered this before. ...

It is very disheartening to hear what has happened to our fellow MTs who have recently been terminated by Transcend. To add insult to injury they turn around and have an abudance of openings they are now hiring for. I will not apply there and I feel no one else should either. Make them sweat it! I know it is tough right now and we all need a good job. This has got to stop and the only way these companies won't get away with it is if we don't tolerat ...

I'm totally getting burned out at MQ. If it's not the NJA with requests to change schedule, then it's the lack of primary and getting other unknown accounts slowing me down. I've gone from full-time at MQ down to working part-time with another part-time job to make up lost income now for the past 7 months. When I started MT'ing so many years ago, the pay was great and being able to set my own schedule was a real plus as well. It was the ...

FT IC Radiology Per minute 0.95 per minute until out of QA 1.05 per minute following release from QA 600 minute minimum per pay period. Above 120 minutes = 1 and 1/2 x 1.05 per minute I have over 15 years of experience. I need to know if this can pay my bills but it is hard to gauge without knowing the account (how many templates/normals are used, if cherrypicking takes place, if the account is overstaffed or if there is working during the afternoon shift). ...

As a former “newbie”, I would like to offer a little bit of advice to other newbies. When I first got into medical transcription, I thought that some of the advice given on these boards was a little harsh and sometimes downright nasty. Without a doubt, there are always going to be some nasty people on message boards, but overall, I think most of the advice given here is well intentioned. Let me explain a little bit of my story. I was unemployed for about si ...

What is your opinion on the ICD-9 Procedure code for an infusion of Remicade for rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease? Since this is considered a high-risk drug, the CPT codes are in the antineoplastic category. But matching up a ICD-9 is not clear. Since Remicade is a biologic response modifier you can go down that path. It is also a monoclonal antibody, so you can go down that path. So far I have come up with 99.28, 99.25, 00.18, and the usual 99.29. ...

I just wanted to wish all of us good health, and a happy and prosporus New Year in 2013! I think we all could use a break from worrying, working too much or too little and see a future in medical transcription without our jobs being ripped out from under us through outsourcing or smaller pay. I know it's wishful thinking, but Happy New Year to all of you. MT2 ...

company work song (like they do in Japan)! Suggestions? ...

I have been off your payroll for one week and three days. This has been the happiest days of my life. I do not miss you at all. What you have done is take medical transcriptionists and make them into editors. If we wanted to check what some computer or some foreigner had typed, we would have taken that course in college. We transcribe. It is what we do. It is what we do best. When you expect us to edit, you take away our ability to create, which is ...

First, I suppose I have come across here in a tone that was bitter and hateful. I ask forgiveness for that. Now, to tell me I am wrong for venting my hatred (wow, where did that come from) and venom on here was extremely hurtful to me. I have read many, many, many posts here on this board; which is meant to be a place where we can share and vent supposedly without recrimination and some empathy. And there are many who are also long-time employees who have serious medical ...
