Perry Johnson - offshore?

Hello - anyone know anything about this company? I am considering a position, but not much info found. Do they have enough work? What kind of accounts do they have and/or what are they paying? Do they outsource their work? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ...

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 ...

Has anyone ever heard of Johnson Medical Group. They guarantee you have a job once you take tests and are up to par on their expectations. You have to pay $295.00 for their materials and training. It's an IC job, so I would have to invest in hardware for my computer too because the companies I worked for before furnished equipment. I tried to look up reviews of them on the Internet but could not find any. ...

I just saw an online ad for Johnson Medical Group. The ad says you can make up to 4K a month and says the more you work, the more you earn (well, obviously, but apparently it's up to you how much you work). They seem to prefer entry level people and have a training program, but also hire those with experience. You have to buy their software for $300. Looks like all positions are IC. Anyone have any knowledge of them? ...

Patient has had panniculectomy in the past and has a well-healed scar except for some shininess to it and a tendency for one small area to have superficial dehiscence with bleeding if pressure placed. The doc clearly says, "...recommended having the patient put s/l *peri-dressing* over his..." and later "...have obtained several of these dressings for the patient." Can't find anything. Thanks in advance. :-) ...

I have a doc on the line dictating today and giving me an offshore # on an op report. Has anyone ever heard of this? Are we supposed to include this in the report? ...

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. ...

Does anyone know for sure that Nuance sends work offshore?? It makes a difference in some states where employees get laid off when places like Nuance comes in and "buys" their department. Workers can be eligible for federal help if the work is sent offshore. ...

my funny find today... the patient ate brief turkey s/b the patient ate beef jerky really, not funny anymore...sigh ...

I've never posted and this is only the second visit. I'm someone who was seriously considering MTec but has switched to planning for Andrews School. I broke my arm - it is closer to healing though, and I am back on track to enroll. I laid to rest thoughts of worry I had about Speech Recognition and now need to do the same with offshoring. Are there any trends which point in a positive direction for us mt's - any reason for them to think they would be p ...

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 ...

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 ...

Does Encompass offshore? ...

Does anyone know the actual percentage of Medquist work that is offshored and also the percentage of transcription work offshored in this country? ...

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 ... ...

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 ...

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. ...

Does anyone know of companies that don't cheat us Americans and send work offshore? Tired of all this crap, as much as we need work. So much for loyalty. ...

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 ...

Would anyone be willing to share their knowledge of companies that do not offshore work? I cannot deal with being with a company that does anymore. Thanks in advance! ...

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. ...

being fired but made to stay on the job and train your replacement. How demeaning! They get to pick off the easy jobs and we are left with the c**p. ...

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 ...

I have noticed in all the Fiesa reports/scores that NOT ONE is from an onshore QA. Every report has been checked by offshore QAs. Has anyone had an English first language QA? Just seems frustrating to have a ESL check an ESL report by a doctor from yet another language transcribed by an American transcriptionist. I have also noticed that if you get 100% one week, guaranteed the next week you get bottom scores the next. Balances out to the .08 per line between the weeks. ...

As the owner of a medical transcription company, I get 4-5 inquires a week to send our work to India, Phillipines, and now even South Africa (I believe the last one was). My reply to them politely is "We do not send work out of the USA." Hopefully if more companies do this, the work would stay in the US and save our jobs. ...

Anybody rejoicing over the fact that we may be finally stopping the offshoring of jobs overseas? I think we should have a party! ...

I have an interview with them. I did some archiving to see if there's any info on this board about them. Wondered if they offshored to India. Their website doesn't say anything about it. Their ad says US MTs only. Thanks! ...

I was told by local hospital that they switched from MedQuist to Transcend and that they believed Transcend did not offshore. The woman in charge of Medical Records Dept. said they wanted to keep dictation done in the US by US transcriptionists. I told her I would find out for sure and call her back with what I know. I searched archives and found some posts stating Transcend offshores at night and on weekends. Can anyone working with Transcend let me know for sure whether or not they definitely ...
