All right how about TransTech - Old School

Posted: Jul 10, 2013

I have got to find something new and unfortunately have to go with a company who hires employees/has benefits.

TransTech - TT - from Nuance

[ In Reply To ..]
I encourage you to test and apply. Steady work, good bonus, a bit above average VR rate (except one account.) All US workforce. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT BENEFITS - Do NOT listen to posts written by MTs who know NOTHING about the legalities behind using escription platform, which is 1 of TT's platforms - or any rumors of a Nuance buyout - TT prides itself in ALL USA MLS!!! Give it a try. Challenging test - but still -give it a try!!

thanks! - I applied! nm

yep, go with TransTech....sm - another former Nuancer

I've worked at Nuance and before that, Amphion and other companies. TransTech has plenty of work overall and above-average cents per line...I don't know the benefits yet (pretty new), but they look and sound good. They generally leave you alone and let you work to your heart's content, is my impression. EditScript and Fluency (MModal), both of which I love and are easy to pick up.

Are they hiring just for Oncology right now? - nooncologyexperience

I sent them my resume with the time I'd like to work, and then they wrote back and said they would love to have me test for them and to choose oncology when I set up to take the test. I have no oncology experience at all! Afraid I won't pass, even though I have 8 years of experience in transcription.

try it, what do you have to lose, just look up those chemo medications for spellings.

truth about their onc accounts - mostly acute care

I was excited to be hired to do oncology with TT.

I am disappointed that the 2 major Oncology accounts I do are more acute care stuff than actual down and dirty oncology reports.

I say go for it as there are minimal acutal oncology reports.

MT is history. But until we ride into the sunset, if you can get - a job with Escription, you are still winning. Sm

It is the best platform around. You will make more money with that platform, irregardless of other variables.

I used to work for TT and there are a lot worse places to be working until the end of MT.

the TT MTs are training a new platform - no more Escription

[ In Reply To ..]
At least on the big Onc account.

It's BM-Modal's platform that used to be DocQScribe and is now called Fluency and full of glitches.

They fixed what ain't broke and now they are in the weeds with a backlog up the wazoo.

Old School--please post back. TT has management on this board. - Need Truth

TT always has openings in Oncology. They are okay, but way off from 'excellent.' Their supervisors check this board all the time. Type till you drop...oh and if you have work and all by ESLs. 1500 lines per day...oh and if you don't get it...no excellent benefits, because you are not then full time. Good luck.

Whatever you do, do NOT go with TransTech - sm

They offer great pay, good accounts, BUT when you get to making good money (I heard it is not that good anymore), they tell you to slow down. Nope. Awful company IMO.

Good accounts and good money? Not in my case. - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Good accounts were lost, but there was huge cherry picking. Lots of people were just 'clean ups.' Then with SR, the line counts went up and all the American-speaking English was GONE. All ESLs and horrible..that or no work.

Exactly true about TT. Seniority gets easy work. - why not.

[ In Reply To ..]
Line count is way too high again. If you were there for 20 years and on one account, of course you have a good paycheck after you work all day. If you clean up 5 different accounts with all different account specifics...good luck. No cost of living increase here, so if you have to work for a living....go back to school.

there's no 'cost of living' increase anywhere. - maybe working in-house but doubt it. NM

since...Bush the original. Possibly even Regan? Nixon?

I would further expound on that with this bit of advice - BEWARE

[ In Reply To ..]
I left there a couple of years ago after being on the hem/onc accounts because of chasing work 16-18 hours a day and having no work on either of my accounts.

That being said, there was one account I had as a back-up backup that was truly the stuff an MTs nightmares are made of. Dictators who never put in proper demographics, exactly-named physicians but in slightly different specialities with (true stuff here!) exactly-named PAs. Of course, these clinicians usually couldn't be bothered to enter their own demos correctly, so the MT was responsible for figuring out which ESL-exactly-named-dictator they were listening to and assign the correct demographics. Most of the time the dictators wouldn't even try to enter correct patient demographics and instead just went the "9999999" route. I worked on this account only minimally and, to be perfectly honest, I would rather waste PTO if I didn't have work on my other accounts than work on this one, which, IMO, was a HIPAA catastrophe waiting to happen.

I don't know for sure if they still even have this account but, when I was there, I think it was the standard "backup backup" go-to for the hem/onc crew. I won't name it here but it was in the Southwest and one of the groups began with an "S".

Beware. Seriously. I don't know how any MT managed on that account.

Hi there fellow TT MTs:) Do any of you ever have trouble with QA at TT. Lately, I have been afraid to send anything in for correction, particularly 1 person, who dissects my reports down to crossing my Ts and dotting my Is. I know she is probably just doing her job well, and I know being in QA is a hard job, but this is getting depressing. I am not a newbie by any means, and I know my job well. Not criticizing here, just a little perplexed I guess. Thanks everyone! ...

I started a new thread because I noticed your question about TransTech waaaay down at the bottom of the page and with no responses yet, so here goes... In my personal experience, nothing has changed from the older posts. Even today, I have 4 accounts and I'm currently waiting for work to come into my queue. If you can get in with TransTech as a favorite, you can make BIG money doing 98% OP notes (about 30,000 lines per pay period). But, if you're just a regular, ...

Usually there are lots of posts here about TT. Just wondering what is going on now. I was hired and supposed to start work there, but could not work with satellite. For some reason, the EditScript would not come up. So I got rid of satellite and had Verizon Wireless installed. So far this is working pretty good. Much better than satellite -- knock on wood. Hopefully I can start working again. ...

I've been with TT for about 6 years but was recently offered an in house job at 4x the pay and really great benefits.

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get.....
