NetMed - bad feeling - grandy

Posted: Jun 21, 2012

Just quit this company. Initially had to fax my personal information numerous times because they lost it repeatedly, etc. Only allowed to type 10 reports per day on QA, unable to get off QA, QA editors never able to agree on policies and procedures. Also required to research dozens/hundreds of previous reports (no search engine available) to find information (QA stated they will not fill in blanks), which is frequently incorrect; not even making minimum wage at first. Even their docs are bitterly complaining about the poor quality of their work. What a gross waste of time. Good thing I did not quit my existing job! Had a bad feeling about them from the beginning due to their overall obvious incompetence.

Yup I hear you - used to work there

I got sucked in by their M-F schedule and straight typing. I was originally hired for OP reports. Did 5 OP reports and then was told the other girl didn't have enough work so I had to pick other jobs that weren't OP reports. Everyone was cherry picking and I got stuck doing the crap work. Had to search through scanned sheets for patient info, etc. and search for Dr. names and addresses that I wasn't get paid for and it would sometimes take me 10 minutes or more just to get the header filled in that I wasn't getting paid for. Then they started running out of work and saying I wasn't meeting quality standards, when no one knew what they wanted or how they wanted it (QA must have been confused). I have been doing this 7 years plus and never had one complaint. Worked 12 hours a day and made sweat shop wages. This was the worst place I have ever worked at and I have worked for Nuance and that should tell you a lot.

Thanks for this validation. This was a nightmare. You are right about the cherrypicking, if it can be called that, because jobs are not dumped into your pool by a supervisor; needless to say, I only received a couple of the reports that had "normals." It is the worst place I have ever worked also. YUK!!!!!

a complete joke!!! - devilsadvocate

I went through an 8-hour unpaid training session there and saw all the crap that you had to weed through to get to a report, so essentially you would be making $0.23/hour while you were doing 1.5 hours worth of work. I went through with a couple of my friends and I told them after the training session it wasn't for me and they stuck it out a week. Too much "research" for me and not enough typing. Most God awful place I have ever even thought of working.

I had posted some time ago about getting emails from Netmed about a post I replied to some months ago on my experience at Netmed. This person AGAIN is emailing me saying, "are you just an angry person," blah blah blah! Has anyone else recieved these obnoxious emails? I have heard from one other gal who has, but wondered about anyone else. I will reiterate and stand by what I had to say at that time, which is - My experience was not great with them. The account had ...

I would like to hear your experiences with NetMed's WebChartMD platform. (I've searched the archives to no avail about WebChartMD.) What specifically do you like or dislike about it? Is it fiddly with demographics that you have to bounce around to fill? Are line counts accurate? The WebChartMD website is not very informative unless you want to provide your email address for a demo. Doesn't even have screen shots. Thank you in advance for taking the time to inform ...

I went through an 8-hour unpaid training for them and decided the next day they were not a good fit. Their platform is cumbersome and you have to have about 6 windows open just to work on one job and the management is poorly run, IT not always available. Be warned!!!! ...

My boss keeps telling us corporate says we are not producing enough for the number of employees we have, but we have been producing. Every other week, she will call and say increase production. I have been with the company for 11 years. I have a feeling we are going to be bought out. I am thinking about looking for a new job? I need a backup plan. Sad to see that MT is all about the big wigs making money off the little guy. ...

Took a test for a city job and just got notice that I did not pass. I was on of over 300 people who took the test. Happy for those that passed but wish I would have been one of them. I believe I bombed in the math calculations. Boy is it ever a kick in the pants with regard to self-esteem to know that I cannot even pass a simple test. What can an old timer like me do when all I ever have done is transcription? Feelling about as low as possible right now. ...

Now that the bankruptcy business is taken care of, I have a bad feeling. I don't know why now exactly, I just do, that something bad cometh our way...pay cuts, more firings, the usual chaos. Maybe because things have been a little quiet lately. This place has made me paranoid perhaps. ...

I just wanted to thank those who shared that have been with this company for more than 10 years. I have really been feeling unloved by MQ lately. There have been a lot of changes since I've been here, and I've only been here since early 2006. Been worried also lately about being let go or being laid off. I don't know, you just gave me some hope somehow and I wanted to thank you all for that. I guess my job isn't that bad after all. And we d ...

I am just thankful for this site. If it weren't for it I wouldn't have a clue what is going on ever! I haven't heard or received any type of email from my CCM? (if that is what they are still called) in over a month. Then today I find out I've been moved. I get on here and hear about all these things going on and I never had a clue. Any time something doesn't seem right like Kaspersky or not being able to log into system, this is the first pl ...

Hi, I have recently graduated from an MT program and have been spending a lot of time on this forum. It has made me think that I may have made a huge mistake. I understand that times are hard, but does anyone have any good advice? I just have been getting discouraged so much lately. I have two young children and want to be able to stay home and help my husband to take care of our family. He already works two jobs as it is (in the health care field) and we just want to get ahead. Did I make a mis ...

Looking at an ad that says "Required skills are transcribing 1000 HIM lines (65 character lines) or 2000 MI lines per day." Is there anyone who can translate HIM and MI for me? Pretty sure HIM is standard transcription and thinking MI is somehow related to VR, but I guess I'm just too old school to understand new acronyms! ...

One day the company loves, you the next, they're exacting punishment to make you feel like you can't do your job. I am sure some of you have felt this way and have even been the victims of attempts to bring in other MTs to replace you. That's exactly how I felt today when I got an email today. I thought the manager was a bit harsh, rather than just giving a warning like the email said for the first time the error is made. How do you deal with this? I wish a lot of the times I coul ...

Good morning, everyone. I know a few of you followed the last couple times I posted about how I had gotten a new job with a reputable company and they would not let me off full QA and how I was getting only three reports a day. I then posted the news was better on Friday because I was let off QA and given two more accounts. This morning I am feeling pretty low. I now have a total of four accounts and no work in any of them. I was hired as an IC and told I would have steady work and that I ...
