There is plenty on the boards, just read a bunch today. They basically throw you in with about 5 minutes of training, you use an FTP program and when it doesn't work, forget it, there is no contact person to help you. Account specifics, supposedly they have them but you have to beg and beg. Don't expect emails to be answered, they aren't. Poorly run.
Does anyone who cannot get major medical insurance have any of the limited plans which are not discounts, but limited insurance? I cannot get major medical, but need something. I have diabetes and am wondering if there are any good plans out there. Thanks for any help you can give. ...
I may have to go to full time with MModal but really hate to. I have always been a part time employee. What is FT limited? I know on full time limited you only have to type 120 lph but is there anything else different between regular full time and limited full time. Is there anywhere on the MModal sites that gives this information? Thanks so much. ...
So far I am 7.5 hours short due to NJA. I have some PTO time avaialble. I want to put a claim in to get started, because the last time I filed in October 2011 they held myr first week, and I did not get that money and went without pay. I cannot go without pay, so I want to get the ball rolling on the partial UE, then I can get checks and not have to use PTO or worry, since I make about min wage nowadays anyhow.
Sorry if this is confusing. ...
for job interview. The internet says there are scams out there for this type of thing. Anyone hear of this company? The job is posted on another board. ...
I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...
They owe me for work done in July. I have sent 4 invoices with no pay as of yet! Do you know where I should report this?

Can anyone give me some up-to-date information on Ascend. The archives are saying stay away from this company, but it would be nice to hear from someone recent. Please feel free to email me or post it here. Thanks!!!!!!!! ...
Does anyone have experience with this company?? Their ad doesn't give a whole lot of information. It doesn't state whether it is IC or employee status, and no mention of benefits. Would like to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly! If anyone knows either by personal experience or word of mouth I would greatly appreciate letting me know. Thanks! ...
Beware anyone thinking about working for Ascend! They are extremely unorganized and chaotic. I don't know why they make you submit invoices - which are very time consuming to prepare - when they will just pay you something different or not at all. They shorted my first paycheck by 1/3. When I was finally able to get in touch with someone, they did send me the adjustment.... but I have not received my last paycheck at all!!! I have tried to contact them several ...
Has anyone worked or works for Ascend Health Care. Our local hospital just entered into a three year contract with them with an anticipated 52 million lines for the life of the contract. I had applied at the hospital but they were not hiring and i guess that was the reason why. ...
I've read all the info I could find in the archives but don't see much within the last year or so on Ascend.
Can anyone provide me with more recent info re pay, supervisors, flexibility, work volume, etc? Also any info on ESL % would be great.
TIA ...
Was wondering if anyone took the test with Epilog who were recruiting for Ascend Healthcare. I was told I passed the test, would hear further, and nothing now for almost two weeks. Anyone out there have recent experience with them. Thanks. ...
If you want to be paid for any work you do I would not advise working for this company. I have not been paid for "phase I" of the transcribing we were supposed to do which was supposed to be paid last week, evidently there are others according to the main board. This company hired for an account that was supposed to be started but evidently has not, they are feeding the MTs 10 reports at a time so you get a total of 30 reports in each phase as they call it for a stipend of 200, however, they ...
Can't tell from the archives if only a couple people were having problems with not getting paid or if it was company-wide. Nothing good in the archives though. Anybody have anything to say about this company? Just looking for truth before I apply. ...
Hi everyone! Long time, no see! I've been around the boards for years (since I started MT school back in 2000). There have been a lot of changes in my life over the last few years--changes for the good. I lost weight, got divorced, and now have a new boyfriend :).
I've been working in-house for the last few years and really want to go back to working from home. My kids are all older (3 teens!) and require very little supervision, so I can only imagine it ...
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear from the trainer after the inital conversation with the recruiter on the phone? I talked to the recruiter yesterday evening and was told I may get a call or email from the trainer today but nothing yet. Thanks! ...
I have been hired with Ascend as of this past Monday. The communication from this company has been very little and it took them until Thursday to do the software install. I have no idea when I will be trained or start working so I am left to twiddle my thumbs. Thinking I may jump ship and look for another job. Thoughts are welcome. ...
Has anyone who was hired on at Ascend/Portal Health Care LLC during the last hiring received their payment for Phase I? I am beyond outraged right now; just told that I will have to wait until after the 15th for my first payment to be processed b/c processing ended on March 20th despite repeated emails being sent out by payroll stating that submission after the 20th wouldn't affect the schedule of payment. Not to mention, I submitted my invoice twice and asked for re ...
