Can you make a living working for IMEDX - WK
Posted: Dec 24, 2014
Can you make a living working for IMEDX. They said they pay 4 cpl for editing and 8 cpl for straight typing with an 80% editing and 20% straight typing account. That does not seem like you could make a living. Just wondering.

almost $25 an hour back in the day MTs were actually valued. I would love to see what would happen if they hired a person who doesn't understand anything medical. Yes, I park cars but want to work from home so, I can do this tooo.
Yeah, try it.
Gone baby gone..
That would be a step up for many of us - sm - Anon

work for Imedx now...our rate is 0.35 VR and 0.05 straight typing....and no you cannot make a living on it. If you did straight at 0.08 cpl you could maybe depending on the accounts you were on.
Do you know if the 4/8 is for IC or employee status at IMEDX? - Thanks

and night to make decent paycheck. I am physically not able to sit at a desk for hours on hours waiting/looking for work. When we accepted the lower wages, we shot ourselves in the foot. Sad really because I have to chase reports, no option. I am one check away from bankruptcy.
I am only looking for part-time work. Does this meaning they have - issues with running out of work?

I wasn't looking for full-time, but not looking to constantly be checking and waiting for work either.

As an IC they pay 3.5 cpl for VR and 5 cpl for straight typing.... for now

IMPOSSIBLE To Make A Living Working At Nuance. Aug 11, 2014This is beyond insane. Why hire all these new people and pay for training and benefits only to have EVERYONE run out of work? It makes no business sense whatsoever. The person making these decisions must have received their MBA from a Cracker Jack's box. It's bad enough that we're being paid peanuts (pun intended), but to run out of work, too? Come on, people. Develop some sense and sensitivity. Thank you. ...
Cant Seem To Make A Living Feb 22, 2010I have worked as a radiology transcriptionist for over ten years . My pay has been cut in half and jobs are hard to find. I take tests and no one calls back. I usually only have their email anyway. I am now learning acute care because it seems for last few years it has been the only game in town. However, I cannot believe how hard it is and I am getting paid the same as radiology. It's becoming impossible to afford to live on this income, but I ...
Can You Really Make A Living? May 21, 2011I just accepted a job at AllType and the majority of my account is VC. I have not dropped my other position I had as IC and no VC. I am wondering, as this is my first time ever doing VC, can you really make a living at this? I know I will NEVER make a fortune at this job but an 800+ paycheck every 2 weeks would sure be desirable. Thanks. ...
Can You Make A Living As An MT? Oct 16, 2011I am thinking about going to The Andrews School to become an MT. I have taken the pre enrollment exam and they said i passed with a score of 84%, which i think is pretty good for not knowing what im doing. But, today i was surfing the web and seen a post from someone that was ranting about how the school is a scam and after they completed the course they got a job where they had to work 60-70 hours per week and only get paid 3 cents per line. So, i was wanting to know if there is any Andre ...
Can I Really Make A Living? Oct 20, 2011Experienced MTs please tell me, can a person actually make a living at this. I am a newbie, working from home for the last 4 months. I am feeling very discouraged by my paychecks. I am just barely making minimum wage after working a full time schedule. I like the work, but if I can't support myself doing this what is the point? I would love to hear from those of you who have been doing this long term. Thanks. ...

Cannot Make A Living As MT Anymore Mar 09, 2015So sad what this profession has come to. I am 57 years old, have been MT for 25+ years, always been a high producer with good QA scores. I made a really good living until January 2013 when Nuance acquired company, I chose not to accept their terms of employment.
Went to another US based company (?) part time. Just did income tax and was shocked. Needless to say, I will not renew my contract again. It's just not worth the aggravation anymore.
The incentive and production bonuses ...
Is Anyone Able To Make A Decent Living As A MT Anymore? Nov 14, 2012I quit my in-house MT job, a job that I had held for almost 20 years, a little over a year ago because of a new boss who drove me and about 10 other people to quit because she was so hard to work for. I thought long and hard about it before I quit, but could not see myself putting up with her for the next 10-15 years until I could retire. She was making some of us physically ill because of stress. I believe we may have been "creatively downsized". Since I q ...
Supervisors Can Make Your Life A Living Nov 19, 2012I have known this for all the years that I have been in this business, but unfortunately I came face to face, so to speak, with this problem again recently. I stated a point to my supervisor by e-mail, and very nicely, about some technical difficulties I was having, and no matter how I would explain it, she did not understand what I said. Even the tech told her that it was not due to my computer, but the connection I had. She said she would call me, and I said I would look ...
Is Anyone Able To Make A Decent Living At Landmark Doing VR? May 21, 2014Over the past few months, the account that I am on has gone from being at least half straight typing to almost all VR, with only a very small handful of dictators that are still on straight transcription. I am having a really hard time making a living since this has happened and my paychecks keep getting smaller and smaller. I am wondering if anyone else is in the same situation, or if it's just me. My account is a pretty busy one, but most of these VR reports are a comple ...

Last week we were told by Op Mgr that "she has a call into the client about why volume is so low."
Yesterday, we got a "yippee" from "her" about having a coupla hundred jobs ready.

Living In Fear Dec 04, 2013Just got e-mail stating I did NOT pass my audit. i got 99.4%. i have been with this company for over 15 years. Lately, I stress out every day over this job. I am sitting here waiting for a phone call from my TSM to discuss this. I am quite worried. Living paycheck to paycheck now. Cannot afford to take another pay cut or lose my job. If they do put you on 100% do you ever get taken off?
I have slowed down and really tried to be more careful/cautio ...
Living Well Off Of Our Backs Mar 13, 2014How does it happen that office personnel get in-house raises and are making far more than any of us when it is the transcriptionists who bring in the actual money? We are solely responsible for the lavish lifestyles of CEOs and the salaries of management while we ourselves make next to nothing. I remember years ago the office personnel making little wisecracks at how much we made while some of them with "degrees" did not make nearly as much. Well, I guess that has been fixed no ...
I Am So Tired Of Living Under The Threat Of This 99% Mar 23, 2012Either I am being targeted or I will agree I am on an account that perhaps requires regular audits, but I just cannot take it anymore. The last two audits I barely failed and I now I am assuming I will be terminated.
We are encouraged to speed up editing and in the process we are most assuredly missing incorrect ASR dictation, etc.
I mean no offense to any MTs who work for this company, but I daresay across the board this company does not produce MTs who continuously maintain ...
How Are People Not Making A Living? Jul 06, 2012THIS IS NOT A MEAN OR DEGRADING MESSAGE.
I am genuinely curious as I have been with them for almost 9 years and have never had a problem netting (after taxes) anywhere from 13-17$/hour. I only work 50-60 hours every 2 weeks and I am bringing home 550--800$.
I don't see how some people are working 80 hours every 2 weeks and aren't bringing home at least 1000$. ...
Is Anyone Making A Living Anymore? Jul 25, 2014After 15 years I decided to hang it up and gave up MT work when VR pay was so low and the jobs were few and far between. My yearly income was cut more than half. I've often wondered if anyone is still able to make a living doing MT work. I don't miss it at all, just wondering. ...
Living In Fear Of Critical Error. Jan 24, 2010I've got this terror of critical errors. I shudder every time I check my feedback, if I've left a marker (sometimes I've noticed they'll check the entire report, not just the marker. Guess it depends on the MME). What happens if you get a critical error? Are you back on QA for awhile? Do you get nasty e-mails? Do you get canned? 40 lashes? ...
Is Anyone Really Making A Decent Living Doing Speech At 4 Cpl? Jun 09, 2011I am looking into to taking a second job to make extra money. My main job pays by the hour as I work directly for a hospital and it is a combination of speech and straight transcription work. Consequently, I'm thinking maybe taking a strictly speech job would be easier on my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands, but I don't want to be wasting my time. If I'm not going to make any money doing it, why bother?
So I would like to know if there are any MTs out there who ...
SoftScript, Living Up To Its Horrendous Reputation! Mar 18, 2013I can't say I wasn't warned about SS, not only in the archives but by an acquaintance who'd worked there for 2 years, leaving a year ago. I took a shot, hoping they had, or were in the process of turning over a new leaf. It turned out to be the worst employment experience in my 20 years 'on the force.' I have never posted here before, often wondering if the gripes here might be limited to a handful of disgruntled employees; they're not & I'm living proof. I ...
Interview At Assisted Living Facility For MT Nov 19, 2014I live in a very rural community, 1-1/2 hours from any larger city. When I moved here, I thought I could work from anywhere. I have been looking for a job for 2 years, but there has been no need for someone with my MT experience, and age discrimination is definitely alive and well. I have an interview set up for tomorrow at a local assisted living facility/nursing home for full-time MT.
I certainly have no problem demonstrating my expertise and ability to perform thi ...

If It Looks Like IMEDX, Talks Like IMEDX, It Is IMEDX Feb 28, 2015No one on this board seems to give specifics when they get canned from IMEDX. So my question is this: Can each person who got laid off/fired let us know more details. Were you PT or full time, did they call or did they email, did you have options, or just firing. How many lines did you do per day. Some of us may not be in your situation and you may have been just an employee that was not worth IMEDX's time and they got rid of you while they may keep all the others, or full timers. Details p ...
Tony James Is Living The High Life, Why Won't He Share? Jul 31, 2010I just don't get it. Tony James led Spheris right into bankruptcy, and he is rewarded with the position of co-COO of MedQuist with a salary of 270k plus a 50% bonus if he meets his goals for the year? Are they kidding? We constantly take pay cuts so these people can live in their ivory towers...and our backs are their steps to get up there.
