This offer by the report (.10, .50 cents, etc.) equals close to minimum wage pay or less! Being paid cpl is bad enough, per report "greedy." Hourly is what you want, plenty of great companies out there they pay hourly.
Hi, my name is Cindy and I live in Christiana, TN and will soon be a graduate of Penn Foster Medical Transcription online Course. I received a job opportunity from TransAm Medical Transcribers and I was wondering if anyone has heard about this company and about how much should it cost to download specific downloads from companies. Thanks to anyone that may help me. ...
Did anyone accept a position with the above after doing the 49-page file review and summarization. I had a call from the gentleman last night but not at a good time, so he will call back this evening. Curious as to whether or not their actual files are as disorganized as the test file. If anyone accepted a position, can you share how it is going. Thanks. ...
I applied to their ad, took the test and was offered a position. Would like feedback from anyone who works there, or worked there. Did you like it? Were you honestly able to make a living doing this type of work? Pay offered seemed low for the amount of time it took me to summarize the sample they sent me for the test. Any information you can supply is greatly appreciated. ...

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe? I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before. The scribe position starting pay is almost double what I make as an MT per hour so it is very tempting, I just don't know much about it. ...
I know from previous posts on here that that job isn't the big thing MQ was making it out to be (horrible editing pay, etc). BUT...do you guys at least have work to do, whether it is typing or editing? I am just an MT and I run out of work daily. If I had become an MME as well, would I have at least been making a little money, or are you guys running out of work too, no matter what?
Thanks. ...
I just wrote a very long post, but decided to minimalize it because I feel very on edge with my company and I'm doing the absolute best I can.
If you know the hospital that hired your company is not happy with the work that is being produced, and you are able to see glaring errors in other people's work, would you say something to management or keep it to yourself?
This is MY job too, and if the errors continue I am afraid the hospital will go elsewhere, meaning my job is gone as wel ...

Are there any MMEs out there who regret having become an MME? And if you become an MME, are you able to go back to just MT status if you decide you do not like it?
I am trying to understand how this is considered a pay boost and if it is worth testing for.
Did you see a significant increase in pay, a slight increase, no increase at all, or did you actually lose money?
Thanks. ...
Hi,
Can somebody kindly let me know if any company is hiring for QA? I have 5 years exp in QA and 3 in MT. Ever since the smaller company I work for was purchased by Nuance my position has gone to bleep.

The following nasty gram was sent to all independent contractors from the company owner. I'm just curious to know . . . how many ICs treated like this?
Hi everyone - I wanted to touch base with all of you immediately, as we have a very serious problem. Aside from a very few MTs who have notified us in advance that they would be out, we have many MTs who are not working their agreed upon shift and it has put us in a serious hole. If there is work in your pool for the physi ...
Considering a position with KeyStrokes. However, I'm wondering how QA is with grammar the stuff. I'm getting QA'd to death where I'm at now. I'll change things according to how QA says it should be, but the next time it's still not right.......one time it's use a semi-colon, next time it's put in a comma, next time it's start a whole new sentence, etc., etc. I'm pulling my hair out! I'm getting so tired of changing things only t ...

I need some advice about a position that I am being offered. It is an IC position. They want Tu-Sat or Sun-Thurs and 1500 lines per day. This is supposedly 70% VR and the rest is straight typing. I know that techniqually they aren't supposed to require weekend work and line requirements for IC, but how is the best way to negotiate this and still get the job? I hate the job that I am currently doing and don't make enough money at it. I usually do work ...
Again, I am interested in the position posted for the Orthopedic transcription. The ad says will train. The days of the week are perfect. I am semi-retired preparing to work out of my home after my husband retires next year. I have 34+ years of psychiatric transcription and I am familiar with medical terminology. I recently completed the training course through Career Step.
Please advise. ...
Yesterday on the job seeker's board, there was an ad looking for an orthopedic MT and it is no longer there. Could this have been a scam? Now I'm nervous because I sent my resume. I believe the contact person's name was Jana Williamson and the email address was girlscoutjkw@sbcglobal .net. Does anyone know anything about this position? TIA ...
