LM very vocal about line cts being correct. Not a peep - about this issue NM

you mean this original post is that same LM thing that's flying around everywhere? - perhaps unhappy LMs should just find another job.
[ In Reply To ..]It is really starting to come off as one employee coming here to voice concerns they should be taking up with the company itself, the labor board, or a lawyer, for the sole purpose of ticking the powers that be off. Airing dirty laundry will do just that, but makes all parties look bad, and won't band LMs people together against the establishment as there will be probably 2 pro people for every con that are happy there.
I hope this LM poster all over the place gets real help and resolves her issues, stops using this board to 'egg' LM on in this lame power play. You made your point, go take some real action or let it go.
Not a suite and not with LM. Just an observer. That's what it looks like to me and so I will just stop paying attention to these shenanigans. Go ahead - slam away at me now.
That's exactly what it is - someone has their
[ In Reply To ..]panties in a bunch. They didn't get the responses they wanted with the line count cheating, nor the supposed conference call (that was never a reality), so they've moved on to bogus IDs.
I just don't understand, if you're so unhappy, if LM is so dastardly and conniving then why would you want to be associated with them?
My reality with this company is nothing at all like this ONE poster keeps spouting on and on about. We're not bothering to comment on the initials issue because it just comes off as one more pathetic attempt at garnering attention for yourself and smearing LM, even if you have to continually make up problems and issues.
LM's not said a word, but funny thing... - if anyone posts defending them, sm
[ In Reply To ..]whoever it is gets blamed for being a member of management.
Landmark, to my review of the posts, hasn't said ANYTHING here officially.
Someone is going to an awful lot of trouble to trash them. Seems like maybe it's a vendetta or grudge. Because the thing is, Landmark doesn't put initials on its report. It either puts an ID# or just /landm.
That's easy to check by previewing a report being typed before submitting it, so no I'm not management. I'm just someone who doesn't buy the load of BS being dished out by someone on this board.
Not with LM, but when with other companies over the years, it - can sometimes take a few weeks. NM
[ In Reply To ..]s
for me, it varies with each facility. Huge hospitals have priority lists and get - to you when they can, have techs
[ In Reply To ..]working on each priority, but can take some time. Not an MTSO lag.
MTSOs can only put in a request and that's it. Sometimes they can call and give the facility a nudge, but crap shoot after that.
RE: New MT ID# - MT50
[ In Reply To ..]It took me 2 weeks with Clear Choice Transcription. A couple of other places, 3 or 4 days.
I had to wait at least a full week before I got mine - sm
[ In Reply To ..]it was not with LM. It was TN.

My Take On Today's MTs And MTSO (long)
Aug 08, 2010
I see so many posts going in so many directions on these threads. It made me think about how very hard the whole MT thing is in today's world. I thought I would make a few points for those just starting or those just staying... Many posts say - you must know AHDI Book of Style. True, for some companies and some accounts. Not true for some companies and some accounts. Many say QA has been helpful; hurtful; unfair; unreasonable; confusing; contradictory. Truth ...

My New MTSO
Oct 04, 2010
Hi, I hope this is the right forum to post this on. I have a few questions pertaining to my new MTSO business. Any input or advice would be helpful. First of all, I need help with pricing. I charge my clients .12 per 65 character line. I believe that is the going rate for my area. I am wondering what to pay my transcriptionists and editors. I originally thought to pay my transcriptionists .08 per 65 character line and my editors .04 per 65 character line but then I wouldn't be making any pr ...
MTSO?

Hello Everyone, I have just recently found this board and I have a couple of questions. I don't know where else to post it, so I hope I've put this on the right forum. What does MTSO mean? Why is there a Medquist specific forum on this board? Is this site operated by Medquist? Just curious. ...

MTSO
Jul 19, 2011
If I owned a MTSO company, and if I were monitoring this board in order to glean comments made about my company, and if I were unhappy with what I read, I would do the following: I would send a company-wide e-mail to my people asking for their input on what I could do to make things better for them and correct the problems aired on this board. I would realize that there are companies that would make life difficult for MTs who dare to complain about an injustice and that they ne ...
New MTSO

Simply put...I need help. I am a single mother. I am a CMT and been in this lousy business over 20 years. I have been job hunting out of this business almost a year now with no bites. I had a dream job but was bought out by M Modal. I went from abundant work to none on a daily basis. I am truly struggling. I know people who work for great companies keep it to themselves, for the fear of over hiring and no work. I am truly asking for help in seeking ...

MTSO Rates
Nov 23, 2009
Do you think the MTSOs cut their rates to their clients who are now using VR just as they have cut their MTs rates? Seems that some MTSOs are scrambling for some reason to cut everyone's pay down (even their MT pay, not just ME pay). I wonder if they are in over their heads with this new venture into VR and losing their arses and realizing it isn't quite the godsend everyone is making it out to be. One can hope, and would serve them right! As far as MTSO rates are co ...
Nonpayment By An MTSO
Jan 03, 2010
How does one go about collecting money from a small MTSO who still owes me $1,049 for transcription I had done for them? I quit working for them in May 2009 when I hadn't received payment. I sent them several e-mails and they did pay me some of the money owed me. Originally they owed me $2,049; paid me with one check for $500, then two more checks for $200 each, which were sent to me every few months in between. They kept telling me they would pay me off the com ...

10 Suggestions For All MTSO's:
Mar 24, 2010
To all MTSO's:1. Show us the money. You make tons of it. We know it. You know it. Try paying us more of it, and cheating us out of less of it.2. Simplify your transcription platforms. Every time you "improve" them, for some STRANGE reason, it gets harder and harder to do a day's work on them. Some software salesman has sure taken advantage of whoever in your company buys transcription software. Please. Develop some sales resistance.3. Let MTs working on a primary account STAY on that a ...
Caring MTSO
Apr 15, 2010
At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, I'm curious to know if there are any MTSOs out there who you guys feel really and truly care about their MTs and not just the bottom line? I understand that business is business but it seems to me that if you have happy MTs then you have productive MTs, willing to accommodate and go above and beyond for the company, which in turn makes the retention rate of quality MTs high because they are happy. They get to know the ...
MT Week And MTSO's
May 19, 2010
The little "trinkets" some of you have received is extremely comical and a so-called slap in the face to some, but some may view it as an actual good gesture, although I do not agree. When I worked at neurology they used to always acknowledge MT week with flowers or a $25 gift card to our local mall, but when they got a new office manager he combined Secretary's Week and MT Week into one. My coworker and I got acknowledged one year on Secretary's Week - now that is a slap in the face ...

Went To My MD Today And They Have No MTSO Or MTs?
Dec 18, 2010
It seems whenever I go to the doctor we get to talking about my profession, mainly because I am speak to them on their level (with medical terms, etc) because they are amazed that I am so informed. Anyhow, today when the RN was checking me in on their Epic system, she said they use strictly voice recognition (VR) and use "Dragon" (which I know nothing about) but I have seen posts on this board about it. I told her that I was an MT editor actually for the VR, not so much transcribing anymo ...

MTSO's - Is This The Best I Can Expect?

After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...
MT Versus MTSO
May 09, 2011
I have not been on this board in a few years but I can see a definite turn against medical transcriptionists. The MTSO's have created a vulture type of attitude that has been passed down among many new transcriptionists in the business. I see the MTs being blamed for whining, complaining and for trying to voice their concerns about being treated badly by ROMs or team leaders or management in general. One statement is truly correct - MTSOs are in it for the money. That being said, let& ...

I Really Think My MTSO Wants Us To All Quit
Feb 03, 2012
Is every MTSO in this field rotten, and do they really hate us? Does it bring them money to get people to quit and then rehire all the time? I am sure it is true. I got a really high, close to perfect score on my QA all the time. I type well above the standards. I even went to part time so they would not have to pay me benefits and work all weekend every weekend to make sure I have work. Now again a hiring spree and even Friday no work, except of course I get the worst ...
Question About MTSO's

If my team leader and never answers my questions anymore, doesn't tell me what's going on, and I can't get into my DA player now because it says client disconnected (yet I can get into the server itself), and the help desk doesn't call me back, could that mean I'm fired or something? And is that legal to just not talk to me anymore if I'm an employee? I guess I have to call Human Resources on Monday, but can the team leader just stop talking to you and f ...

We all know you don't give a rat's ass but here it goes; Pay us a decent wage for BOTH typing and editing with decent benefits. At least 8 cpl both both instead of that crappy 4 cpl for editing. With a decent wage, your employees would be happier. They'd quit bitchin about your company. They'd quit hopping from company to company. They'd work harder at producing. They'd turn out quality reports, not having to worry ab ...
