For TT/MT/Editors: - Sharon
Posted: Feb 21, 2015
The day we suddenly ran out of work in early February was when another MTSO got the account. For my fellow MTs who are suffering from no work from that account, you can go to TTS, who is still hiring for it. Line rate for employees .01 cent less than TT but they pay headers, which TT did not. You can make the same (.01 cent more if you decide to be an IC rather than employee). I hope this info can help some who need the work and no longer have it. Doubt IMEDX will ever give us the truth about this.

[ In Reply To ..]You would think they would pay more, not less, for people already proficient on this account. You get what you pay for.
Why would they hire for an account they no longer have? - nm

[ In Reply To ..]Enlighten me. Didn't Sharon's post say TTS does HAVE the account and former TT people should apply and get paid less than they paid at TT?
What I want to know is how do you know TTS - has the acct in the first place?
[ In Reply To ..]and how do you know what is being paid if they do have that account?
I can't say more than it was a reliable source. I won't post names. - Sharon

No, I never said former TT people should apply (sm) - Sharon
[ In Reply To ..]My post quoted rates and stated what they pay for. I also stated that you can make .01 cent less as an employee, or the same as an IC. I did not recommend anything, I simply quoted the rates and stated why the volume on this account went to practically nothing. I have a reliable source, but obviously can't post a name.
Sharon is talking about TTMS, not TTS - Two very different companies
[ In Reply To ..]TTMS = TransTech Medical Solutions - now known as iMedX. TTS is Transcription, Technology, & Support. A lot of us TTMS peeps refer to it as TT, so that's where the confusion comes in. Personally, everyone needs to call it what it is now.... iMedX, the company from hell.
I've worked for both - and trust me - you DON'T want to work for the mentally unstable, psycho piece of work CEO at TTS. As for TTMS, they're dying. I got out in the nick of time.
That is not what my post said. Talking about two different MTSOs (nm) - Sharon

Editors? How Long Did It Take You?
Apr 07, 2011
I've been an MT for many years but I am new to SR editing and I am feeling kind of incompetent. Today it took me 45 minutes to edit 1 note which was 57 lines long I've worked for 5 hours today so far and I have 500 lines. For any MTs out there who switched over to editing, how long did it take you to get up to speed with it and earning a decent hourly wage? For the experienced editors, about how many lines do you edit per hour? I do like the com ...

I'm back to editing after a few years away from it and can't believe how bad the software still is. The company I worked for 3 years ago used better software and the drafts were not that bad. Now I'm with a different company using not the best editing software. Not sure what the docs are using, but the VR really does a bad job, even with very good dictators. On words it doesn't understand it ignores them and then picks up when it understands it again. The errors it is makin ...
Editors Expected To ..... ?
Apr 13, 2013
I started a new client for an MTSO recently. One ESL dictator's H&Ps are so out of order they require a ton of reformatting. This is the order he dictated: History of Present Illness, Past Medical History, Chief Complaint, Plan, PE, Review of Systems, Assessment/Plan. The template has to have formatting changed (bold headings and point size), the guy is very difficult to understand, does not use proper grammar and needs most sentences restructured. He slurs through the Review of Systems ...

Quit job to take guaranteed hourly paid editor position with MedScribe (FL) 3 weeks ago.

Was rushed through paperwork to start immediately, gave only 5 days notice to former employer (burned that bridge) for an hourly paid "sure thing". Never saw hourly pay; only 0.08 CPL for full transcribe acute care, and only to catch up an out-of-TAT acct they knew was bailing ...
