Nuance and iMedX are involved in talks to merge. - messenger


Posted: Mar 11, 2014

I heard from a good source that Nuance and iMedX are currently involved in the details of a merge. Hang onto your hats MTs. I had a sense that something was very fishy with iMedX and their relationship with "former" Nuance suits.

Could MModal also... - ThingsThatMakeYaGoHhhhmmmm

be a part of this? It seems odd that MModal is now offering training for coding to its MTs and then a 2year contract to stay "no compete" (per boards). Isn't iMedX heavy in the coding aspect of healthcare? I just think it is odd that all of these changes are happening at the same time. Just throwing it out there as an observation - could be completely off base.

hmmm, indeed. Could be possible. - messenger

Since iMedX has two higher ups that are from MedQuist (now MModal) and Nuance. The perfect storm may be brewing in the industry.

Can you give initials or hints as to these two higher ups? - TY...N/M

I think Keystrokes might be in that mix, too. sm - hmmm

I have it from a very good source that a few higher-ups at KS were wearing Nuance badges at HIMSS, and that they have been in talks for a while.

What is going to happen to this industry? I was hoping that a few would make it without selling out but I guess not. Maybe some of the MModal accounts will go to small companies?

I don't think KS would do that - at least not wear those badges. KS is still acquiring new accounts even as of this week. Does your source work at KS?
Here are the names you requested. - messenger

Christopher Foley, CEO (formerly VP Medquist).

If It Looks Like IMEDX, Talks Like IMEDX, It Is IMEDX
Feb 28, 2015

No one on this board seems to give specifics when they get canned from IMEDX. So my question is this: Can each person who got laid off/fired let us know more details. Were you PT or full time, did they call or did they email, did you have options, or just firing. How many lines did you do per day. Some of us may not be in your situation and you may have been just an employee that was not worth IMEDX's time and they got rid of you while they may keep all the others, or full timers. Details p ...

TT/IMEDX "Merge" Was March 2014.
Feb 11, 2015

I am not up on my business particulars, but when this "merge" - ahem - took place March 1 (I think) of last year, could all contracts have been resigned for a specific period of time, say 1 year, or did contracts just continue as is until they were up, more than likely ending on various dates?  Could we be looking at our 1 year anniversary where all contracts come to an end?  Are there legalities that go along with a 1-year period for employees?  Employer tax breaks? There is at ...


If Your Doctor Talks To You

Do you feel compelled to talk back out loud?  I have a new doctor that talks to me, and if he says thank you, I find myself saying "you're welcome" out loud!  He also asks questions, as in, "did I remember the vitals" and I say "no you didn't".  My dog kind of looks at me funny, like, are you talking to me?  ...

Which Is Better -- ImedX Or Nuance?
Apr 25, 2012

I am training at Nuance right now, but have been offered a position at ImedX.  Would you stick with Nuance or do you think ImedX is better.  I am not worried about making a lot of money at this point.  Just want a little spending money on the side.   Seems kind of discouraging working at Nuance from all the negative posts.  Seems like there are many unhappy campers at Nuance -- too bad for them.     ...


IMEDX - TTS - Nuance
Dec 23, 2014

I see complaining and complaining on these companies a lot in the last few weeks/months, but I dont understand it.   First you are offered pennies on the dollar and then fuss about no Christmas gift.  (duh if they cant pay a decent wage, what makes you think they will splurge on a gift).  Then repeatedly people come on here and warn you about taking a job with these companies, and yet you do it anyway and then all i see are vents and people upset with their job.    C ...

IMedX The New Nuance? I'm Afraid So
Aug 29, 2014

After 20+ years in the industry, I've seen a lot of changes, but these big companies take the cake. They all want to be the big dog and think that eating up smaller companies, dropping everybody's wages, and sending the work to India and generally becoming a company that MTs ran from should be a goal or something to be proud of. Sure, boast that your company made 50+ million dollars last year and then tell your MTs in the same breath that they are not worth paying. As if one Nuance wer ...


NJA Has Become Rather Involved An A Lot Of Work.
Aug 31, 2014

File Remedy ticket. Wait for incident number (usually fast, though) Enter incident number on time card Create PTO work availability "request" Wait for "PTO" to be approved. Now you can finally approve your time card. Send NJA notice to schedule compliance so I won't get one of those nasty "you did not comply with your scheduled hours" emails. Find a way to "make up" hours. Oh, and don't forget to get the NJA paid time correct on the time card -- 0.1 hours (6 minutes). ...

I would like to know what all is involved with being an independent contractor.  I have been toying with the idea a lot lately but have no clue what needs to be done or what is required of me.  If anyone could give me some insight into this, I would so truly appreciate it.  Thanks...

Uniworx To Merge With Viva
Feb 18, 2012

Anyone on here currently working for Uniworx? I'm curious as to your thoughts of the merger with Viva. I'm having a hard time with getting on the new email account they set up for me (sometimes I can get in, other times it tells me that my username doesn't exist).  I thought maybe if anyone that peruses this site works for Uniworx maybe we could all share our thoughts together of the merger, yet still be anonymous and feel safe about it. MTs working at home don't have th ...


I Think The Company Heads That Merge With Transcend Are Lied To As Well. Sm
Nov 25, 2009

I did not blame the company I worked for for selling out to Transcend as I figured they were told the same thing we were told, which was that nothing would change and their transcriptionists would be treated fairly.  I think when things do change you can't blame your old company for that since they are probably surprised by it all just like you are. ...

Moderator, please delete everything on your site that refers to Imedx, even this post of mine, it is only the right thing to do. I prefer to be angry and have no where to vent. Last week we were told by Op Mgr that "she has a call into the client about why volume is so low." Yesterday, we got a "yippee" from "her" about having a coupla hundred jobs ready. This morning, we got an email saying, "we need to make sure you have backup accounts now." I wont address the timesheet issue, I am still ...

Wmx/nuance Paycut Meeting,listen To Tape Shut Up Or QUIT, Nuance Attitude?

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...
