Accentus Acute Care or Brietner Transcription - 1BadDecision2Many

Posted: Apr 20, 2012

So, I've been offered a job with both Accentus and Brietner Transcription. I have done my research on both companies, but really struggling to pick one. I really don't want to make the wrong decision. Seems from doing my homework, the potential to make more is at Accentus, but Brietner employees seem pretty happy there too. Can anyone shed any light on what it's like to work for either company? I would be very grateful!!

Never heard much about Brietner so thats a good thing; have - heard good stuff about Accentus too though.

the fact that Brietner is seldom mentioned may mean they are a nice place to work (no news is good news).

Accentus I have heard a little about, not much, but what little I have heard and read has been good.

So I would probably base my decision on who has the highest earning potential and who would I be less likely to run out of work with.

1. Where can I earn the most.
2. Who has the most work.

I would like to know about Brietner also - lka

I have seen their ad from time to time and see it again now. I have over 25 years experience. The ad that interests me is 5 pm to 11 pm part time. I like working a shorter shift and that would be perfect. You say you were offered a job there. Could you give me some idea what they pay and is it straight and VR? I just don't want to apply, take the test and find out it is 4 and 8....... if so, forget it. Thanks for any info. You could reply by email if you like. Thank you!

Does anyone know why Accentus Acute Care seems to always have the same job ad hiring for acute care MTs that pays a sign-on bonus? It seems as though either they never fill these positions or they are so difficult nobody stays. I would be interested in applying, but the last time I tried to apply with them on the ambulatory side, I could not get the voice file to work. Is this even worth applying for? What is their cpl rate and do they pay for spaces? Thanks for any ...

I have been transcribing for 30 years mostly orthopedics. I want very much to do acute care transcription. Does anyone think I have a chance to get into it? I feel as though I am at a dead end if I don't do something different to further my career. I feel very qualified to do it. I took a good course from AHDI with cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and surgeries through Oak Horisons. This was a very well-rounded course and covered everything involved. Thought maybe someone m ...

As a relative newbie MT, I'm not certain what "acute care" means. Does it mean basically all reports that are from doctors in the hospital setting? That is, would any hospital operative note, hospital progress note, and all discharge summaries be considered "acute care"? I know a clinic note is basically a note by an outpatient doctor, right? And it's basically about more minor medical problems albeit could be chronic rather than "acute." ...

I completed my education with Everett Community College in their Career Step program for MT training in Dec. 2006. I have been working ever since in a rehab/therapy clinic. I am the only one who does the transcription for 7 therapists and it is a rather busy office. I have wanted to find work doing hospital transcription and certainly not from lack of trying to locate work on my part. What frustrates me is that I was told by my instructors that I should be able to find su ...

I see that TransTech just placed an ad for acute care MTs. I was hoping that someone who currently works there or has worked for them in the past could share how your experience was. Do you run out of work a lot? Are they an overall good company to work for and treat their MTs well? I remember reading in the distant past that a lot of people there were running out of work a lot. Is this still an issue or a thing of the past? Any feedback on this company w ...
