Worked for K&R doing VA work -easy platform, nobody bothered you, just didn't like the VBC pay....people were nice when I was there, that was about 1-2 years ago. No schedule needed, just a line count commitment at that time. I never head of K&R ASSOCIATES, but it it's for the K&R CONSULTING, that is the info I have. Good luck.
Has anyone heard of Transam Associates? Good? Bad?? I have 3 years of cardiology office transcription experience, but no formal training, so i have been having a hard time getting off of QA at other places.
Thanks in advance ...
Found some job openings from a company in North Carolina. I emailed asking for more info because the ad didn't give enough for me to feel comfortable sending a resume. Got an answer back stating a small company, bought out by Arrendale Associates. Any info appreciated. ...
Hmm, read something on another site about how M Modal had an offer back in June at a higher price, but they turned it down because it was afraid it might bring up concerns of a monopoly and delay the sale. It was speculated that it was Nuance but it only said Party A in the documents.
That makes me so sick. ...
I am a current TTS employee and I started out there as an IC MT. I am continually amazed at the malicious gossip that is spread on this board about TTS. Editors and QA personnel do not take work from the MTs, we're asked to step on to help out if there is a high backlog. If we want to work after our hourly-rate-of-pay shift is over, we have to ask permission from the shift leads, just like anyone else. There's no "double dip" going on, we work an hourl ...
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. ...
Has anyone heard of Transam Associates? I am a recent grad from Brighton College and I'm afraid to invest more money in their software program. Their software they use is MT Professional. After their training I am promised real work with them once I have achieved accuracy in their training program. Just wondering if anyone knows about them and if it would be worth it. Thank you in advance for your help. ...
MTDesk Associates (mtdeskassociates@yahoo.com) is a suspect company. Their e-mail address is phony. I applied to their posted ad on 6/14/13 and it came back mail returned because the company does not have an account with Yahoo.com.They also did not post their location, just "U.S.A." ...
Has anyone heard of Transam Associates? I am a recent grad from Brighton College and I am afraid to invest more money into Transam's software program. The software they use is MT Professional. Just wondering if after going through their training program would it be worth it. They promise work through them after the training results in accurate work. Thank you in advance for your help. ...
Hello,
Does anyone have any updated info on this company? I couldn't find much in the archives, aside from one post by someone else looking for info. Anything will be appreciated.
Tx! :) ...
This is some of the worst audio I have EVER heard in my 30+ years in this business. I have sent emails and IM's but "apparently, the problem is on my end, becuase everything is as clear as a bell." NOT! Short, clippy, clinic notes, and QA pickier than all get out. I notated a tempate where I thought there was an incorrect spelling and was called on the carpet was that -- actually QA was wrong. With the amount of lines they expect as an IC per day, it is ridiculous and of course, ...
Does anybody know anything about TransAm Associates in Valrico, FL. I've heard many different things, good and bad, but have found out after working for them that they simply do not have enough work to go around. Sometimes I will have a lot of work and actually make a good buck, but then the rest of the month (yep paid once a month) - is so bleak and in "feast or famine" mode, may only see two to four jobs per day, thus negating all the earnings I made earlier in the month!  ...
Has anyone worked for Transam associates out of Florida. They claim they train and have work available consistently but you have to buy the MT Professional software. I have been transcribing for three years and am an IC for another firm but was looking into hiring on with this company. Anyone have any news? I was a bit suspicious. ...
Im so confused, I keep reading on different forums on line how hard it can be to break into medical coding.
Does having an AA degree help? Is that a plus? I see some on line colleges that are accredited offer AA degrees, AABS degrees, etc.....whats the difference?
Is it better for a newbie to go straight to AHIMA and take their cluster of courses or take an on line billing class through one of the on-line universities, then go test at AHIMA and AAPC? ...
Hello - anyone know anything about this company? I am considering a position, but not much info found. Do they have enough work? What kind of accounts do they have and/or what are they paying? Do they outsource their work? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ...
Kathy Yip has not paid me my last check for wages earned. No contact whatsoever. Refuses to answer calls or email messages. Where do I submit a labor claim in Florida or do you do it in the your home state? Has anyone filed a claim for IC and received their wages? Reported her to BBB and see what happens there. Any other ideas to obtain your last check? ...
so very confused now. wanted to sign up for AHIMA but now i read this on their site.

Has anyone worked for Kathy Yip and not got your last pay check? She has always been good about paying, but I have not got my last pay check for 05/01/2012. Anyone have issues current or past with Kathy Yip and not receiving your last pay check?
If you have had a similar experience not getting your last pay check as an IC with any company, what steps did you take to collect the money? Thanks. ...
I was offered a position with a company who requires a HIPAA certificate, and I was wondering where others have gone online to obtain that and if anyone could suggest any that were under $20.
Thanks! ...
Any information on Hypertype? Good, bad, and ugly, pay scale, platform? TIA. I have passed the test which I took a little more than a week ago. They want to set up a phone interview but I want to know upfront what current ICs think. Are they flexible. Do you have a schedule. Saw through the archives that the pay is low but how low is low? TIA. ...
If I eventually plan on working from home, should I invest in some kind of FTP (file transfer program)? If so, what kind should I get? There are so many out there, just curious if anyone has any knowledge about this. Thanks!! ...
