Line requirements for Webmedx - sickntired

Posted: Aug 12, 2010

What are the line requirements for this company? Opinions on the company? I am currently working for "#1" that likes to "#2" all over their employees.

5000 lines per week FT; 2500 week PT. sm - Your Mileage May Vary

Most on "this" board will say they don't like the company but that's the nature of this board. I personally like them better than the other MTSOs I've worked for. If you can do all worktypes and are not afraid of ESL, it can be a good fit. I have a good supervisor but I've seen mixed comments on the company based on that too. Good luck to you.

I have found Webmedx to be the best MTSO I have worked for as well and can understand why they received the Employer of the Year award. I also have a good supervisor and decent accounts. I like their benefits package too.

A couple of notes. Haven't checked to see if 3 - Poppy

[ In Reply To ..]
is a correct number (I don't do pigs in pokes), but I do know that at least 2 of them are major employers in this industry.

Second, and important: Companies are splitting 2 directions on skills: One wants to go to lower skilled/lower paid workers, the other feels it's important to develop this work through increasing skills so it continues to be needed. One guess which direction the companies working with AHDI are choosing (regardless of your opinion of that organization).

Could you sound like a bigger baby? "Guess what - only 3 companies in the race" Guess what, I called them to see how many, Guess what, not all 1000 MTs love Webmedx...." Put your pacifier back in and go to sleep.

Actually every year only 3 are FINALISTS for empl of the year; sm - Are you in Kindergarten?

there are many more nominated by employees but AHDI narrows down the field to 3. This is every year and not influenced by surveys, etc.

Nobody ever said it was influenced by surveys. nm - K

Have any MTSOs set a minimum number of lines per hour for VR Editing (per hour, day, week, or pay period)? I have seen posts where Medical Transcriptionists/VR Editors have lamented about losing benefits because they are not able to meet straight typing minimums (the average seems to be around 150 lines per hour, 1200 lines per day, or 6000 lines per week), but I have never seen anyone talk about not being able to meet MINIMUM VR Editing requirements. Since it seems as though most la ...

For the sake of clarification, is the minimum line requirements really 150 LPH for all MTs on all accounts? I watched the recorded presentation this morning and am not really liking what I see. What happens if you don't make the 150 LPH??? Probation??? Firing?? Insurance was EXPENSIVE. Also, looking at the posts, does the "clock" we use track our keystrokes to see when we are working or how does that work??? ...

Spheris minimum line count was 127.5 lines per hour, and after taken over by Medquist, they had a meeting. They said this was nothing to do with Medquist's higher line requirement, but they said if we do only SR work, then we have to do 192 lines per hour. Straight transcription is still 127.5 lines an hour. They do pay less for SR lines than transcription, but still as long as we got our line counts in during our shift, they were happy. How do we keep straight our line count for SR and TR ...

This might need to be on the tech board, but I have a question on the WBX line counts, I just started here. I am assuming that the number up on the right hand upper corner in black that changes is your line count? When I do a VR job, I get a negative line count? What the heck is that? Maybe I am understanding wrong and hoped someone could help me out. I have typed several jobs and done maybe 5 VR jobs this shift and I have a line count of 43??? WWWAAAHHHH. Also, does eve ...

I apologize to sound like an Webmedx complainer. Not my intent, but I am extremely concerned regarding the SR jobs I'm transcribing and receiving correct compensation. The way I understand it, an SR/VR draft report already has a tallied line count when it goes to an MT and if during the course of your edit, you delete lines, the line count always reflects this by being less, it does not stay at the original SR drafted line count. Makes sense, and I have no issues with th ...

http://www.executivehm.com/article/Transcription-in-the-21st-century/ This article (above link) has quotes from present COO of Wedmedx who is President of MTIA and used to be former Spheris boss. This article explains how the MTSOs want our lines counted. It explains how they want to take away all keystrokes that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Won't this effectively save the hospitals and MTSOs from paying MTs for up to 1/3 of the keystrokes w ...

Ever since we been taken over by Nuance, and I've had to type my main account on the native platform, I can't seem to pick up line counts no matter how fast or how hard I try. It's very frustrating. They raised the line count to 6500 lines per week from when I first started 2 years ago of 5000. I used to be able to type a lot more. Been an MT for more than 10 years now. I feel something weird going on. ...

I've been thinking about going into coding, but what is it like physically?
