If you are researching an MTSO that has never been mentioned (sm) - Yochana


Posted: Aug 21, 2010

on this board and BBB has no listing for them where can you go to do a research of them other than paying for a background search?  I tried the "Yellow Pages" but it doesn't yield much information.  Would appreciate any info. 

Start with... - Searching

Start w/ a simple Google search. Many times, even if they don't have a website, you can find copies of state incorporation papers, list of officers, etc. At least that way you can learn some rudimentary facts, like how long they've been in business, how large the company is, etc.

Thanks, I have actually been doing that just (sm) - Yochana

wanted something a little more informative. Appreciate your input.

I am having the same problem. I have researched every way (sm) - SillyMT

possible and I still cannot find any information about a company that I am about to start with. I have even gone as far as calling the Chamber of Commerce in the city that the business is located in and still received no information. Hopefully it will work out with no problems from work to pay issues.

Good luck Yochana!

RESEARCHING AN MTSO'S REP, FISCAL INTEGRITY, ETC.: HOW TO?
Jul 22, 2012

Dear Colleagues, I'm in between jobs and need to find MT work stat.  I want to avoid disreputable MTSOs; I want to "head them off at the pass", so to speak. Does anyone have a method by which they research the reputation, financial integrity, etc., of an MTSO before they proceed with even submitting their resume to them?  It's not the most prudent idea in the world to give your own personal data to an online entity who has the potential to misuse or abuse them. I h ...

one of them was medical assisting.  I went to the American Association of Medical Assistants website and had a bit of deja vu...  There are 4 certifications one can get - CMA, RMA, CCMA, and NCMA.  They, of course, were kind enough to point out the differences and I swear I was reading the AHDI site, especially the part about membership dues and recertification CEUs.  You'd think an MA was an MA, but I guess not.  I originally was just trying to research whether or ...

prices and features, it seems like 2007 is not as well liked as 2010. Does anyone have an opinion on either of these, and what is best used for MT?  I work on ChartScript, MedRite XL, and I-Scriptor.   I'm kind of leaning toward 2010, and I found a good price at the link below. Would love for someone to look and see if it seems legitimate. http://shop.advantageittech.com/Microsoft-Office-Professional-Plus-2010-Download-MSO10DL.htm   Thanks for all your help! ...

I took a test the other day to apply for an MT job and the doctor loud and clear gave the patient's name. The dictation was a consult.

If that was real information, I do not want to go there for help.   ...

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 ...

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 ...
