What is happening at M*Modal

Every time I submit a job to QA for a blank it gets QA'd 100% and very, very picky..I might add. ...

I sign on this morning, NJA. After a while, I get 1 lone job from YESTERDAY AT 19:00. Then nothing. What is up with that? Where was this job? Where are the rest from 19:00 on? ...

The docs and management brought in VR, and now there are too many MTs and not enough work. Our workflow went from hundreds of jobs with overtime on a regular basis to barely anything left to type. The company for which I work is not an MTSO, but a fiirm with local clinics, plus docs doing reports for other clinics/hospitals. Luckily, we MTs work at home and are fortunate to get paid hourly, so during our slow times, we can either take PTO (if we have it) or wait for more ...

Well, here I am in the same boat as all ya'll after managing to keep my same few accounts for the last 24 months....I logged in today and lo and behold not a single one of the accounts I got were my usuals. Hope I don't dip below my quota for the day, because I got a lot of client profiles to read :S ...

I don't get paid to review my entire team's errors. I don't get paid to even read emails. I'm not doing it. Sorry ...

Do I have options, or just wait until they fire me (why? this is crazy!). ...

Starting this morning, about 3/4 of my reports (which I HAD NOT sent to QA, i.e. did not check the box), are returning to me with QA feedback. What with FTR this could really go against my submission rate. I rarely send to QA, maybe 1-2 a day at most. Anyone else having this happen, a technical glitch, or am I losing it ? TIA ! ...

they over-hired for -- 70 MTs? There was not enough work to keep the 70 MTs busy when the account was flowing and now the account has dwindled to few jobs or NJA. Were you you given back up accounts? TY ...

You do know or remember that MModal is considered a distressed company, carrying around $750 million in debt, and last month they hired restructuring advisors? This article came from the Wall Street Journal. IMHO, another round of American MTs are about to be "restricted" out of a job, with more and more jobs going to India. This would explain why there are no jobs in any region, not because of snow. They need to save as much money as they can, big time. ...

I get the message Internet Explorer has stopped working on a daily basis. It usually means I have to wait a few seconds for it to restart but sometimes it has to close whatever page I am on. Does anyone have any information that might cause this? Thanks. ...

If there's one thing I've learned in my 61 years (that's the body; the brain operates at the teenage level), is not to guess at the reason for things. I've followed the comments here about Imedx, some of which made me go "hmmm" and others had me rolling my eyes. You can guess the Imedx situation to death, but there's only one way to separate the "I THINK what's going on is ..." and "I KNOW what's going on." It's called ... pick up the phone and flat o ...

It's always been subpar, but it's absolutely awful now, averaging about 30+ corrections per report. Hey, if you can't understand what they're dictating, make up something nonsensical to throw in there! I wonder if they've hired a bunch of new ones or removed some levels of their QA? It's taking forever to fix this garbage. I am regretting being an MME at this point and would cry tears of joy for some ASR instead!!! ...

Starting immediately, the 9 month program will be a 12 month program. (The reason why they shortened the program at all was to apply for national accrediation which would allow students to apply for grants.) Starting April 1st, no retakes on tests, and we will now be grading all the advanced reports that you are currently doing for review. There is also a failure to progress policy which states that a student must submit 50% of the work for the month or be put on academic probation. If they d ...

to people who have been here the longest, i.e., paid the most? I dont know what an average pay would be now, but I am guessing 8 cpl for transcription and 4 for editing, so lets use that. If you are making more than that, are you getting these insane audits or is it everyone they are targeting... Answer Over 8 or Under 8 if you have received one of these failing audits suddenly. I am over 8 and have had 2 failing audits in a row now. ...

I don't work there, I work at MedQuist, but I'd like to know what may be coming down the pike for us....anyone care to share what the pay cut entails? TIA ...

Just curious if anyone is starting to see a trickle of companies taking back their transcription from the MTSO? I am starting to see some places who once outsourced bring it back in house. No hospitals, unfortunately, but the smaller to medium medical groups, afraid of the liability of having their medical records roaming all over India. I know of an HR person at a large group of clinics here who told me they are bringing it all back in house because of liability and HIPPA issues. They pay $20.0 ...

Could a current employee tell me what is happening with this company? Work dwindled to nothing and there was talk of acquiring new accounts, but I had to jump ship before that happened. This was a wonderful place to work and I am just wishing and dreaming. Have they picked up any new accounts and are they still in business? Thank you. ...

I have not seen how long our pay would be dropped the 3 cents. Am I missing something? Is it just that pay period or the next week or what? I just don't see that. I spoke up and am having a conference call with the "team" tomorrow and I really would like to know how long our pay would be deducted. Peronally I can't afford to have my pay deducted and if you can (mq mts), then you are lucky. I have not had a pay raise in 9 years and all of this is goin ...

This is exciting, you guys! Our local NPR station (where I work full time) is planning to air an hour-long radio cast about the effects of the electronic medical records implementation on our MT careers. I was telling our producer that I worked for 27 years as a full-time MT, both in the clinic/hospital setting and at home, but 5 years ago I could no longer make it financially as a full-time MT. That's when I went to work in the public sector doing something unrelated to t ...

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

What do other LMers think of what is happening with our insurance? I am the head of our household and am worried. What do we do when COBRA runs out? ...

I have another question. When one does a draft in VR, does MT get paid for all lines in the draft or would an MT get paid if it has to be edited. I will be trying to learn this in the next few weeks and I am scared to death I will not catch on and then I might be without a job. I have a feeling I might not get paid for the whole draft report. Then again it may depend on the company. Any opinions please. Thanks ...

...looks like he's dropping a deuce. Sorry, but he does. Also, how do you pronounce the name of the company? I say it to rhyme with immobile - immodal. ...

Does anyone know anything about M*Modal? I have never heard of them and would like some input. Thanks. ...

Is this Medquist? Tell me more. I used to work for MQ years ago and was interested in going back part time. ...

I'm considering applying to M*modal. I've been around the block (several times) so I'm aware of the reputation, etc. This means anyone who just wants to slam the company, please bypass this thread. For those of you who work for M*modal and are happy, what is it you like about the company? Would you recommend a friend apply? TIA. GG ...
