IMEDX gives 10 day notice on big hospital account - !!

Posted: Feb 15, 2015

A 10 day notice has been given on a longstanding hospital account. Employees on this account will be moved to other accounts (September 30, 2013).

Remember the goold old days when we were notified 10 days before losing an account? Don't you think it's odd Imedx does not do this anymore? Multiple accounts go down last month and not a peep, just locked out?

Why not go out and enjoy the day instead of being a pot stirrer? - sm

Apparently you have nothing better to do. As for myself, this is my one check of the day to see the latest "the sky is falling" post then it's off to the beach on this glorious day and then a movie tonight. Why not get outside and smell the roses for once and step away from the computer...

I agree, Imedx should stop stiring the pot - Tabs and Dashes

I agree, Imedx keeps stiring the pot. They should enjoy the day and get away from the computers. This history lesson does nothing but upset us. No value at all with this stuff.

So true! - see msg

Everyone has had a heads up when TT announced its "merger" with Imedx. Why all the complaining now? The whining and complaining is getting old. Personally, I took this job after the "merger" knowing it probably would not last, but it is a job. I intend to ride it out and keep looking in the meantime.
That was my decision as it was for anyone that chose to stay.

All this negativity is scaring everyone.
They had plenty of time to look for a job and leave.

As for myself I knew what could possibly happen in a merger and I have heard plenty of stories of what happens after a merger and I am self supporting so I am not blaming anyone for what happens.

TT sold out, Imedx bought them, don't blame Imedx for TT wanting to get out and make money while they could.

Um, put that in a commercial - Salt

If a company is proud of its business decisions, then why not put it in a commercial? Let me put it this way, if I worked at McDonald's fast food, went to the door to open up during my shift, and door was locked, or I went in and I got paid sometimes, and other times not, or changes were occurring so rapidly that the management/owners felt not obligated, as a HUMAN BEING to tell us huge changes were occurring, with no notice, would that not get you concerned.

The reason why this field is so poorly paid, is because MTs have single handledly kept lowering the bar to where now we are looked at desperate, I get it. Some folks in this field insist on being treated like (**!?!), so we get treated like (**!!?!!!!!!!!).

My main gripes are that decent people do decent things, even in the business community. We are not asking much, just a heads up, 2 weeks would be nice. They not only are avoid this, they flat out refuse to comment.

The CIA refuses to comment when they are nailed, and the CIA talks to the press when they want to (of course, I am sure at that moment they have a nice script ready).

Where is the precious AAMT or AHIMA or whatever they're called now? Glad I did not get certified!

ImEDx, put your actions into a commercial and show the world, and see if they like it. I personally would never deal with a company who had this track record. I only work here because I am allergic to the sun.

Commercial - great idea! To the tune of - "Happy".

It is not stirring the pot, and nobody said the sky was falling, only the world that we all knew it as our future, is no more. She has a right to complain and post. Smell your roses, just don't get pricked. And surely glad you have money for a night-time movie!

They gave a 10 day notice or were given one? - September 30, 2013? What?

I secretly predictated that Imedx/TT would end up losing a major, major account. Now, it is coming true, unfortunately. Repeatedly out of TAT, scrambling to get warm bodies for MONTHS!, offering pathetic bonus for MONTHS! to get people helping on a sinking ship, telling us to dump our PTOs before year end, email completely broken at Imedx, numerous MTs jumping ship because of impending iceberg in front of Imedx ship, etc etc. I have seen this so many times, it is a bad joke. One account in par ...

If you woke up this morning with several hundred jobs out of TAT on a major account for IMEDX, you should not be surprised. Imedx made their bed when they offered 12 hour TAT versus the 24 hour TAT that was prior, just to get an account. This is nothing new, this industry's MTSO have been lowering the bar just to get more accounts. QA over the years has gotten tougher, which a subjective 98.5% pass rate. When I tell everyone that my grandkid got a 97.4% on a test and was expelled, th ...

We were told it went to a competitor and that the client just decided to move in a different direction. Can anyone verify this to be truth?

Moderator, please delete everything on your site that refers to Imedx, even this post of mine, it is only the right thing to do. I prefer to be angry and have no where to vent. 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. This morning, we got an email saying, "we need to make sure you have backup accounts now." I wont address the timesheet issue, I am still ...

No 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 ...

SEN: Patient was on D5 half-normal saline plus 20 mEq of KCl at 78 mL/hr throughout hospital admission. On hospit ...

Just curious if anyone has a remote (long-distance) position with a hospital. If so, did you have to work inhouse initially before being able to go home or not? My last employer (the current one MTSO I work for stinks so bad I don't even consider them an employer!) was a hospital that was part of a chain. Of 50 MTs, there was one in Canada, one in Mexico, and one in China. However, I'm fairy certain that they were Americans who lived locally and then subsequently mov ...

Okay, so halfway out of curiosity, I applied to my local hospital, which is a large regional hospital, for an MT job. They wanted a "seasoned" MT with CMT, who transcribes 250 lines an hour. Okay, I thought, they might actually compensate better than I think since they have well-defined high standards. WRONG! They are offering $11.35 AN HOUR! What a slap in the face! You get a whole extra dollar if you work 2nd shift. What an insult--they just have ...

Was laid off in April. Have a couple offers from transcription companies, and one from a clinic which is part of a huge school/hospital system in our area, (which actually is through a temp agency). There are only 2 full-time NP's and a handlful of part-time NP's. The hospital job is a 45-minute drive, 1-way, in light traffic. Pay to start is $13, but if this temp goes to permanent, potential is much greater. The clinic is open M-F, 8-4, closed holidays.&n ...

Does anybody out there work at home for a hospital, not a transcription company. How do they handle the running out of work situation - do they expect you to use your PTO or take it without pay. Are they more flexible with scheduling - I was hoping for some place that might say you have to work 8 hours a day anytime between say 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Do they still pay by the line, and less for speech recognition? ...
