A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Just a note out there to those searching for companies and looking for opinions. I've been an MT for 8 years, worked for many nationals and a few smaller companies and recently hired at Nuance (working 2 months there now, full time).
I had a hard time sifting through all the bitterness on these boards to find anything positive about any company but I am finding that I am very happy here and just wanted to throw that out there for others looking for work.
I've been able to make a much higher line count here than other places (even others using the same platform - EditScript), and the pay is fair - more than I've made elsewhere. The training was thorough and mostly self-paced. There has *always* been work available for me, my supervisor is kind, understanding, and flexible, and I am paying $200 total a month for the highest selection of all the benefits for myself (medical, dental, vision. legal, disability, life insurance), etc., though its possible to get by for much less and still be covered. It would have been too expensive to have my children on there (more than $1000, but I have found that true for all transcription companies I have worked for).
It's just nice to have a consistent job with a reliable paycheck that I can pay my bills with. Wanted to add my positive experience in there with the many gripes around these board. I feel lucky, in this economy, to have a job where I am making more than minimum wage and be at home with work I enjoy.
Nuance = two thumbs up. :)
