testing with Medquist - Sally
Posted: May 29, 2010
I have been working as an IC for many years, acute care, .10/line and usually can do 200 lines/hour. In 2 weeks the hospital is giving their transcription to Medquist!!! I have a phone interview scheduled for Thurs. but am having serious doubts about going through with this. I have no idea of the pay rate, benefits, etc., and all these comments about QA are really turning me off. If I have a blank all I have to do is send it to my supervisor and if she cannot figure it out it goes as is. I don't get any benefits but that's ok, don't need them and I like to set my own hours and there is no minimum. I just do what I need to do to earn as much as I want. I think I know now what to do and that is retire! 
Well honey, get ready for your life to change - MQ has no ICs
[ In Reply To ..]So all that "setting your own hours" and there being "no minimum" are over. If...if...if you decide to go with MQ. Because they will hire you. They have to, its part of the deal. Its up to you, to take it or not. You might get lucky and get a good CCM (supervisor) and you might get on a good team that communicates and works well, but then you might get on a team with a noncommunicating CCM and no work and lots of problems. Its a crap shoot. You might like it, you might hate it. There seems to be no in between here. Think of MQ like a big poole with alot of little pools, and depending on the pool you get, you get a good job.

[ In Reply To ..]10 cents a line? Wow! MQ pays 8 cents per line for transcription and 5.34 cents per line for SR work. I assume it's all of Medquist that is paid that.
No, everyone does not - Trust me - nm

[ In Reply To ..]My line count was 380 for speech recognition and nearly 280 for typing before I came on board. I can barely make 150 lines an hour on average with Medquist--that is how hard the dictators are. It is tough but life goes on.

Testing For MQ

It is truly laughable that MQ expects US MTs to jump through hoops, passing their tests, audits, trying to decipher absolute garbage and paying us like we were 6 month trainees, etc., and then have the audacity to send work to India. I hope MQ gets its due for all the grief they have caused and their role in the demise of this industry! If Verizon were to put them out of business, that would definitely be what they deserve. ...

How are you supposed to know whether to put the headings and text on the same line or put the text on the line under the heading, put a colon after heading or not put a colon? They said they go by BOS, but all I see pertaining to that in the BOS is the sample reports where they put the text under the heading with no colons after the heading. I guess I'll just do it that way. ...

I am hoping someone can help me out with this question. I am a single mother with a 3 and 6 year old. I recently resigned from my job due to management. I also got accepted to school that starts in Aug. I have done medical transcription for over 4 years, but currently not the last two years. I was working for a corporation and management there were all for sabotaging people. Since I have left my job, I knew that I could always come back to transcribing. I am taking tests to only find out, I didn ...
Testing For A MT Job
Feb 07, 2014
How many of you think that testing to get an MT job absolutely ridiculous? When you apply to these so-called medical transcription companies, you send them your resume which I am sure highlights not only your experience, but also your education that you paid good money for and worked hard to obtain. Yet, they still make you take a test. Have you realized that the tests are designed for you to fail? Your whole future is based on one test. Your experience and you ...

New To Medquist

Hi. I am new to MedQuist. Can people out there who do not hate the company please tell me if they have had a good experience or not? So far, I am worried that I will not be able to make decent money, but I am hoping that when my speed improves, that will not be the case. I have many, many years of experience, so that is not the issue. Sound quality seems to be a problem, and I am finding that editing takes an inordinate amount of time. I am a fast typist, so I ...
Job Op With Medquist
Feb 13, 2011
I currently work for a company that pays pretty much the same as Medquist. I hardly have to deal with ESL docs and if I work my butt off I can make some decent money. I'm very reluctant to quit my current job and work for Medquist after reading some of these posts. I have no idea what kind of account Medquist is going to assign me to which has me nervous. Also I'm about to be a single mom and I'm very worried about making the wrong decision. ...

What took them so long? I was going to ask if anything had imp ...
If I Ran MedQuist
Jul 10, 2011
If I ran MedQuist: Pay Rate: No Tier 1, 2, 3. All MQ MTs would have to be Tier 3 and paid as such. Starting off at 9cpl with cost of living increases. ASR rate would be paid 25% less MT rate. 25%!!!!!!! Minimums: Minimums will be set up at $$ amount each day, ASR or MT lines, daily minimum must me met at least 4/5 days worked and will be set at $100.00 (based on the new pay rate would be doable). Incentive: Absolutely floors me this is a p ...
What Medquist Is Doing To Us
Jul 12, 2011
I want everyone to think about what Medquist is doing. It does not matter what your job is for this company, they are systematically getting rid of the US employees because it comes down to the almighty dollar for this company. It is not a US based company, the upper echelon is India. This company sold out to its US workers long ago. Shame on Medquist, but that is what they did. It will not matter if we stay or go, they will be fine. What each of us has ...

For once again proving to me how idiotic your polices and practices are. Heads up to all those who recently left the Q employment. Be wary of your exit interview. I received a phone call from a Private No., which I foolishly answered. Someone, who first off, I had trouble understanding, asked a gazillon questions, mostly YES or NO answers, or a Good, Satisfactory, Very Satisfactory, etc., to rate the company and my employment. Naturally assuming (when I heard the word Medquist), that it was ...
