The pay is screwed up which they eventually fix BUT management - ugh. Rude, out for themselves, demoralizing, haters; not a positive atmosphere at all. READ THE ARCHIVES, and run!
Does anyone have experience with this company?? Their ad doesn't give a whole lot of information. It doesn't state whether it is IC or employee status, and no mention of benefits. Would like to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly! If anyone knows either by personal experience or word of mouth I would greatly appreciate letting me know. Thanks! ...
Good morning Earthlings and Martians and Jupiternites !!
This is for those of you who were hired on at Ascend recently for the big new account that went live a few weeks ago. WHAT THE FIREBALLS OF HADES HAPPENED? One day we're working, the next they're letting us go. Did they LOSE the account THAT QUICKLY? I went to log on yesterday and was unable to do so. How is it even humanly possible to lose an account you only had for a week? Were we h ...
I've read all the info I could find in the archives but don't see much within the last year or so on Ascend.
Can anyone provide me with more recent info re pay, supervisors, flexibility, work volume, etc? Also any info on ESL % would be great.
TIA ...
Can someone tell me where you can find the instructions to teamwork portal? I have been using the old timecard program and they took that off, so I don't know how to place a ticket number on the new program for NJA and can't find any instructions or help to tell you where and how and what times you put in, etc., etc. Be nice if they had "help" instructions on there. TIA. ...
Help! The doctor is talking about electrolyte imbalance possibly secondary to drug reaction, alcohol, SIADH or (so help me!) "beer portal mania"! That's what ASR typed out and now I can't hear anything but that!
Any help would be appreciated!
TIA!

Is anyone having trouble viewing the pay statements for 2013? Mine comes up as a blank screen and there is no way to contact these people on the Web site that I can see. ...
They owe me for work done in July. I have sent 4 invoices with no pay as of yet! Do you know where I should report this?

Can anyone give me some up-to-date information on Ascend. The archives are saying stay away from this company, but it would be nice to hear from someone recent. Please feel free to email me or post it here. Thanks!!!!!!!! ...
Beware anyone thinking about working for Ascend! They are extremely unorganized and chaotic. I don't know why they make you submit invoices - which are very time consuming to prepare - when they will just pay you something different or not at all. They shorted my first paycheck by 1/3. When I was finally able to get in touch with someone, they did send me the adjustment.... but I have not received my last paycheck at all!!! I have tried to contact them several ...
Has anyone worked or works for Ascend Health Care. Our local hospital just entered into a three year contract with them with an anticipated 52 million lines for the life of the contract. I had applied at the hospital but they were not hiring and i guess that was the reason why. ...
Was wondering if anyone took the test with Epilog who were recruiting for Ascend Healthcare. I was told I passed the test, would hear further, and nothing now for almost two weeks. Anyone out there have recent experience with them. Thanks. ...
If you want to be paid for any work you do I would not advise working for this company. I have not been paid for "phase I" of the transcribing we were supposed to do which was supposed to be paid last week, evidently there are others according to the main board. This company hired for an account that was supposed to be started but evidently has not, they are feeding the MTs 10 reports at a time so you get a total of 30 reports in each phase as they call it for a stipend of 200, however, they ...
Can't tell from the archives if only a couple people were having problems with not getting paid or if it was company-wide. Nothing good in the archives though. Anybody have anything to say about this company? Just looking for truth before I apply. ...
Hi everyone! Long time, no see! I've been around the boards for years (since I started MT school back in 2000). There have been a lot of changes in my life over the last few years--changes for the good. I lost weight, got divorced, and now have a new boyfriend :).
I've been working in-house for the last few years and really want to go back to working from home. My kids are all older (3 teens!) and require very little supervision, so I can only imagine it ...
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear from the trainer after the inital conversation with the recruiter on the phone? I talked to the recruiter yesterday evening and was told I may get a call or email from the trainer today but nothing yet. Thanks! ...
I have been hired with Ascend as of this past Monday. The communication from this company has been very little and it took them until Thursday to do the software install. I have no idea when I will be trained or start working so I am left to twiddle my thumbs. Thinking I may jump ship and look for another job. Thoughts are welcome. ...
Has anyone who was hired on at Ascend/Portal Health Care LLC during the last hiring received their payment for Phase I? I am beyond outraged right now; just told that I will have to wait until after the 15th for my first payment to be processed b/c processing ended on March 20th despite repeated emails being sent out by payroll stating that submission after the 20th wouldn't affect the schedule of payment. Not to mention, I submitted my invoice twice and asked for re ...
