If you had to choose between Proscript and Transcend, which would it be? - TheySaidWhat

Posted: Aug 19, 2010

Just looking for opinions. Don't see a lot of recent stuff on Proscript on here.

I think working for either could drive you to bankruptcy - IMHO

I've never worked for Transcend but do follow the threads here. Actually, it sounds like some of their tactics are the same as ProScript's. When I worked for PS about a year ago, they would send out "SOS" emails constantly about there being work on the system, we weren't working hard enough, "all hands on deck," etc., when, in fact, there might be 6-10 reports on the account they were referring to. This was CONSTANT, 24/7. Also, their editing rate is only, I believe 3 cpl. Hard to support yourself (much less a family) on that, and from what I understand, more of their accounts are going to VR all the time.

I won't speak to Transcend, since I've no first-hand experience with them. However, I do notice other posters referring to the constant barrage of emails, etc., which makes me think Transcend sounds like a much bigger version of ProScript.

Good luck in your decision, but be prepared that ProScript WILL want a schedule, and you might want to create a new email account just to handle the innumerable emails you'll be getting from them if you take a position ;-)

Why not both? Would equal one full-time job. (Not sarcastic) - ...

Transcend offered me my pick of schedules. Perhaps you could find out your schedule with Proscript first, then set your Transcend schedule once you know. I am finding the Transcend job much more PRN/part-time than full-time (on my account, the work I get is late evenings and weekends, the usual high-volume times, but still not enough for FT status).

I'd choose McDonald's with that choice line up. - Just saying.

I thank you and the other poster for advice.

You have to understand, I used to work for the Q. After them, nothing shocks me anymore.

Happy Meal!! Good one!! - AT

Wouldn't have to worry about anyone really understanding you then--just like the doctors do!! Health benefits at least!

I've been looking for weeks. The hospital I've been IC with for years is getting rid of all ICs - going totally VR and keeping only their existing employees. I've tried to be very selective, looking for that great little company somewhere that would treat me with a little respect and value my years of experience. Well, now I'm to the point that I need to start bringing in a paycheck ASAP. I've been offered both M-Modal and Nuance - which were my v ...

After browsing around in FIESA, I found what looks to be an instruction manual for the people who audit us and after looking at it, it sure does look like they can pick and choose which reports to audit, rather than randomly. I have also had the worst dictators audited more than the good ones. Of course it's easier to find a mistake that way and easier to keep our pay down! Remember 7 cpl is really equal to only 3.5 cpl if most of your jobs are VR. ...

I recently went to work with Proscript after 9 years of hell at Spheris and 1 year of the same thing with Medquist and I love it. I have a great hospital, great supervisor and flexilbility. I do work evenings though and that is my choice. The system is pretty decent. I can see a few things I would like to change, but for the most part, it's not bad. Money, (are we getting paid for this?), seems about the same, but I am still learning the account, so I don't feel I am up to sp ...

This is for anyone thinking of going to work for Proscript (I understand that they are advertising): This is NOT the Proscript that was a great, great company to work for some years ago. That crew was the old ddi crew and they brought the ddi corporate culture with them: Fair to clients, fair to employees, and they valued their employees equally with their clients. They would attempt to work with an MT to see how to get any problems resolved. &n ...
