I worked for Probity for a couple of months as a part-time gig. Not only was it impossible to understand some of their doctors, it was impossible to satisfy all the nit-picky account requirements or QA. I ended up printing at least 10 pages of account requirements. The platform that I used (Integra) was slow. Im not sure if they are still using that or not. It was hard to get any lines because of the slowness and having to look though pages of account requirements to make sure you did everything.

Keep in mind that this was my experience and yours could be completely different. You may thrive with them. Good luck on your decision.

Agree. I was there about the same amt of time and it was - sm

I have been there for 6 months and because of the multiple facilities and all the time spent in googling doctors not on staff that are referred to (and there are usually some each and every report because the patients are all referred from some other hospital and their doctors are not on staff) compounded with almost every report being from a different part of the country, you can't get proficient. There's no familiarity that you need to really get your speed up. Every day with them they assign you work on another account, new doctors to look up, new hospitals to look up, and about 80% of them are ESL. There's a lot of time spent on these long reports listening to the dictators turn pages as they look through page after page after page of records, lots of ums before they something that needs to be typed. Long dications, few lines.

If you're not desperate, don't go there. If you can't find another job, well, it is a job and that is better than starving to death.

I guess it really depends on if you have other choices. Sometimes we don't.

I received an offer from Probity and have read some posts on the board. I am looking for current information from anyone currently working for or have worked for Probity in the past six months, pros and cons. From reading through the paperwork, it seems like you are given a short time to be up and running and must know the account specs with 4 days, which kind of makes me nervous as to what I am getting myself into. I am looking to work set hours as opposed to constantly checking th ...

I just had a job offer for Probity. I am considering it, but before I accepted I emailed them with a question about if there is steady work and still have had no response. I am on unemployment benefits, so if I take their job and then there is not steady work and if I have to quit, I cannot get my benefits back. So, it's a delicate decision. Is anyone working for them who can tell me anything about them....good or bad? Thank you. ...

I got a job offer at Probity. The pay has an incentive built in for anything over 5000 lines per pay period. Does anyone know what the pay period is? It doesn't say and am waiting for resonse from recruiting. Also, it is for a 6 hour shift. Is that normal. I was hoping for 8. Is eligibility for benefits based on line count or hours worked? Any advice would be helpful on this company. Thanks ...

I got hired at Probity. I managed to last 13 days. I've got 30 years of experience as an MT and thought it would be a breeze. The account specs weren't the problem - but the dictators were horrible. One after another ESLs that I could hardly understand, lots of googling to find Dr and hospital names, and somehow when they count lines, it seemed really low (maybe they weren't counting headers and footers). You weren't supposed to make full sentences and I got gigged for expand ...

Thanks in advance for any information. Can someone tell me if their platform is consumer friendly or not? Is it slow? I understand it's compatible with word, but can you use most short cut programs with it, such as smart type, instant text, short hand? Are the data bases for their accounts well maintained or do you have to hunt down a lot of physicians or addresses because they don't have much of a data base. And last, do they have work available during your shift? ...

I see that Probity is hiring and I am considering applying. Is there anyone who currently works there or who has worked there in the recent past who could provide any opinions/information on this company? I am wondering how they are to work for. Do they pay well and pay on time? Do they run out of work frequently? Are they very strict when it comes to schedules? Are they straight transcription, editing, or a mixture of both? I did do a search on here, bu ...

Any former Probity now Nuance employees get their W2s yet? I've checked the Workforce now whatever that is for W2s and there is nothing there.
