Webmedx buyout,low work - smt


Posted: Nov 04, 2010

I do not believe there is a buyout, but maybe these facts can shed some light. Take a look at the com pg at the 3rd shift or which ever shift is working around 2 or 3 AM. Lots of work in lots of accounts, but almost all gone when the regular day shift comes on in the morning. 

As I recall some time back Webmedx was hiring MTs for their so-called SWAT team and it was for those late night shifts. I believe the job was advertised as $19.00 per hour for outside (new hires) and as I recall for existing MTs that were interested it was your average production plus a 10% add on bonus just to have the title of  SWAT team employee. Requirements were you would work all accounts,work what seemed to be part second and part third shift (in the middle), and must be able to do QA.  Isn't that pay pretty darn good pay for QA?  Thus it would behoove the company to make sure there is a lot of MT'g work available during the SWAT people's shifts. In the mean time, those of us who have been on the day time shift for years, that have taken multiple accounts for years, and endured salary cuts are now being pushed out of work during the day to benefit the SWAT team at night.

Now the question is, are they holding on to the work for the SWAT team at night to prevent having to pay them $19 an hour for QA, and to make sure they stay on until this supposed fabulous account shows up in 4 months or so.

I further believe that the ONE person who keeps trying their best to calm down the troops on MTSTARS could most likely shed more light on this subject if they wanted to.  This person is none other than JOE FRIDAY...."just the facts MAM." Why is Webmedx doing this to their regular MTs that work day shift?!??  And by the way Joe Friday, how's the weather in that evergreen state? ;)

This is really interesting.. - Work for 0

WMX just acquired our hospital, small MT service and satellite radiology office. All the trans were offered positions - no one is taking them. We were promised we would have the same physicians and the docs were told they would have the same transcripnsts. It seems current WMX trans would not benefit from having this new account.

FYI - One salesperson says, in reply to question about no work, that she has people making > $50k/yr. With what they offered, we find that hard to believe.

Thanks Webmedx for selling out and now keep us waiting for what seems a million years to hear about our job security, our pay, our PTO, our 401k, and on and on.  Just wish they thought this out first and kept us informed instead of their usual secrecy on the whole issue.  We were notifed right before the July 4 holiday, we would hear soon and well no news......I for one am not very productive as I am up and down popping ulcer remedies in my mouth wondering what is happening..... ...

Would Any Of You Take A Buyout From MQ If Offered?
Jun 20, 2010

In past months I have read on this board, with dismay, so many posts about long-time MQ MTs/MEs failing consecutive audits, and eventually being discharged. I think it is a major coincidence that so many employees are suddenly and consistently failing to meet the same quality standards they always met. I think it’s a flimsy contrivance to get rid of the more highly paid employees and replace them with cheaper newbies while avoiding an age discrimination actions because those higher-paid pe ...

Jun 30, 2011

The hospital I work for went with an MTSO that doesn't offshore last year.  They were adamant about not using one that did.  After many months, they are still not on the MTSO's platform but now the MTSO has been bought out by a company that does offshore.  No one is getting any information regarding what is going on.  If the client you are working for did not want to go off shore and the MTSO they are using was bought out by one that does, did the cli ...


Buyout Of My Company To MM
May 21, 2012

How will a hospital or clinic, who did not solicit MM for business, but were part of a buyout, work with MM? I don't understand? I doubt the clinics and hospitals will accept any electronic change from MM, they have their own and working fine. Is there something I am missing here? Usually folks solicit work from MM, but this is just the opposite, almost MM steppin' into the shoes of working with an acquired client who was not part of any negotiation, and may be resentful of even change ...

My Company Merger/buyout Experience
Mar 08, 2014

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 ...

Webmedx Needs To Pay
Apr 24, 2010

The unremarkable Wedmedx needs to pay for the downtime MTs are incurring because they want to switch everything over to their horrendous ISR.  The unremarkable Webmedx requires 1 to 4 hours to get new computers up and running and yet we production people are supposed to make up that time or use our PTO time or just not get paid.  The unremarkable Webmedx just hired new people and gave them bonuses to sign on but can't pay their longtime loyal employees for time lost due to no ...

I am so sorry we are all going through this but everything happens for a reason, so they say.  Let's just hope we all have brighter days ahead of us and better things. I was blessed to wo ...


Webmedx Pay Better Than Most

I've been editing since ISR started with them and it took me about a year to make up and at times exceed where I was.  Now I prefer ISR.  The long and the short of it is that as long as Webmedx keeps ...
