Does anyone still work for GCT, Gulf Coast Transcription? - caligirl
Posted: Jan 09, 2014
A friend was laid off recently from them, but then another friend advised me to apply and that work would pick up after the holidays. Any idea what's going on?
I was laid off, too - Old and Tired MT

I had the option of being put on p.r.n. or having my contract terminated. There was hardly ever any work.
No need....... - Been there done that!

I worked with GCT for a few years. No need to apply. Anyone that tells you it will pick up after the holidays is out of their mind. When March rolls around and the season in Florida is over, GCT will be a thing of the past. EPIC was rolled out last year and if there is anything that needs attention the hospital in-house MTs will be able to take care of it. From what I have heard, most everyone still working at GCT is looking for something else or has already gone part-time with someone else in anticipation of the "big bang"
Looking for any info on Gulf Coast Transcription of FL as I am seeking a new home. I am currently working and have time to explore options before jumping ship. ...
Any other GCT MTs on MT Stars at the moment? I can't get in to Chartscript.Net tonight. I get this message: Unable to open this internet shortcut. The protocol https does not have a registered program.
Anyone else experiencing this oddity? ...
They have terminated some office/administrative people and now have eliminated weekend incentives and given pay CUTS to transcriptionists. Work is nearly non-existent. At the beginning of the summer they said it was a temporary slow down and would pick up shortly. Instead it seems to be getting worse. Anyone know anything??
I really really like this company and hate to see this happening. ...
Someone asked about them and I am bringing it back up to the top. One person said it all now VR, another said they saw their only account in the "Nuance pool." I don't get it. First of all, what is a Nuance Pool? I work for them and although work has slowed down, if Nuance was now contracting, wouldn't the work be completely gone? Also as for all VR, it's about half and half. We are hoping the summer slow down will end soon and work will pick up ...
It appears that Gulf Coast has either severely cut the hours, or laid off most of their IC transcriptionists. I was laid off. This was a nice company to work for, and I would really feel bad for them, but they told us things that just weren't true since last summer when they started losing work. Plus they appeared to deny the rumors on this website back in September. Then we got a really nasty email from the main supervisor a couple months ago all about how they were ...
Could a current employee tell me what is happening with this company? Work dwindled to nothing and there was talk of acquiring new accounts, but I had to jump ship before that happened. This was a wonderful place to work and I am just wishing and dreaming. Have they picked up any new accounts and are they still in business? Thank you. ...
Have reviewed the information in the archives but was hoping to find someone that works for them currently or has recently worked for them. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. ...
I keep getting server error, something about it not liking my sender address. Well, I've used 2 different addresses with different servers and both don't work. ...
Fort Myers, FL. I know there is info in the archives, but I have not seen anything recently. I really need an honest answer in regard to pay scale and flexibility with scheduling. Any help appreciated!!
TIA ...
Has anyone tested with them?
Here's their testing process if you're interested......it's a hoot!
I got a Word document which asked me to supply the correct spellings. The auto-correct feature already did this for me when I opened the document, so that was a no-brainer.
There were questions in which I had to choose the correct way to word a paragraph, etc. There was one that was especially troubling to me, it required me to choose the correct paragraph and it listed several ...
I was wondering if anyone who had recently applied to Gulf Coast Transcription had heard back yet. I see they have a new ad on another job site. I applied last week but haven't heard anything yet. I got error message when I submitted my application, but the site said not to worry about it.
Anyway, just getting anxious. Thanks! ...
have heard it gets slow during the summer, particularly July-August, but this slow? I love it there, I really really do. I read, below, about people who said just get used to the slow down and I am trying, but I am not evening making minimum. It all seemed to happen after the computers were switched over or whatever it was mid-May with lots of work and now barely any.
I need reassurance that it always is this slow and will pick up in the autumn. In the meanti ...
Nothing in our BOB, trying to help others, but work is low too. I just found out something too!!! I had a primary account for years and the account felt like family to me. Knew all the doctors. Yes, I was blessed to have this account. Then about a year ago, I was told this account was being done by their own doctors. (Cannot remember the exact name it is called). A lot of Providence Cinics and hospitals use it. When you go in for a clinic visit, a ...
I would appreciate any input anyone may have on these 3 companies. I have tried to find out about them through their local BBB, but only Net Med Transcription has anything on it. Thanks. ...
Just trying to get info on both companies. Don't see much when I search. Anyone work for either of these and can give me more info would be appreaciated. ...
A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.
While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...
I have been offered a position with both. I have; however, in the past, had a position where the employer still owes me $6000. Does United pay and have the work? Does Nuance have enough work for me? I need full time work guaranteed income, like everyone else. Good luck to all out there! ...
