They always paid on time, direct deposit. They pretty much left me alone to do the work and I rarely ever ran out of work. I think as long as you keep your line commitment and produce quality reports, there are no issues with them breathing down your neck. A lot of ESLs on the accounts I was on and a lot of demographics that needed to be filled in.

Ditto to the above. I like working there except for the awful dictators and the fact that they expect you to do way too much work on demographics, looking up referring, docs, etc. and trying to understand patient names because they don't have patient lists most of the time. I could have typed the whole report in the time it takes you to fill in the blanks. That is really the only beef I have with them and you might get a better account so I would recommend them.
Agreeing with above - justanothermt

Spend way too much time searching for demographics and searching. Has really cut into production time.
They are nice, great QA feedback, pay fast, and reliable otherwise.
Does anyone out there work for Phoenix MedCom? Passed their test but am hesitant to go forward when the pay is substandard and I've already been warned that the account is difficult. However, I've been out of work since October and something is better than nothing :( ...
Note: My search of the archives only brings up a host of "We are currently updating our site/forum software" page errors. According to their webpage, ''Experienced, qualified transcriptionists are paid line rates that are competitive with today's rates. We pay on a 65 character line, headers and footers included. The rate that we pay may be based on worktype, volume, consistency, and quality of work. Our payment translates to very good hourly rates, which is the ...
Any current info on Phoenix Medcom? Anyone currently working for them? Good, bad, or otherwise? They offered me a job but there seems to be a lot of hoops to jump through, and I haven't even started! ...
Has anyone applied at Phoenix Medcom over the last few weeks and gotten a response? Also would love to hear pros and cons from anyone who works for this company. Thanks.
...
Curious about the good, bad and ugly on each of these companies? I applied to both and have been accepted at Phoenix, but wanting to know more about from anyone working for them or having worked for them.
I was laid off recently from another well known company talked about here on this board quite a bit recently, and am looking for another IC gig so I found Phoenix Medcom and hopefully found a good fit and a new home!
Thanks! ...
Phoenix Medcome pay scale states a line rate for "templated lines". What does this entail? Is it only the template that comes in with the job itself?
Rates seem a little low. Does anyone work there that can confirm a line rate increase, incentive pay, or something of the sort?
Thanks- ...
To anyone who works for this company - how does it work out for you not being able to access the internet while working i.e. words, medications, etc? ...
Does anyone work for Phoenix Medcom? They are looking for an orthopedic MT. Wondering if their work flow is consistent and if their pay is decent and dependable.
Thanks ...
I saw this company in a job posting and want to try a more flex schedule. I work part time right now but have to work weekends and am getting tired of it. I don't need insurance and barely get any PTO as it is so I feel I am not losing anything, only gaining time and flexibility. My husband and I like to travel a bit and it is very hard with this job to ask for time off, even without pay. Any thoughts on working for this company? ...
I sent in a resume to this company since I thought it was an interesting twist on working from home. I received a reply with an application and haven't heard anything else yet, but with the holiday, things tend to slow down a bit. I was curious if anyone else has applied and heard anything different from them. TIA. ...
loosing accounts and don't want to admit it. They advertise "plenty of work" but its not true unless you are working a handful of accounts. All the posts I see in archive touch on the same subject with them. I read a recent post about the subject and the only reply was from someone who (appeared to be the owner) simply said to ask for more work...(yeah right, sounds good). Just wondered if there is some honest info out there on them aside from the posts from the handful of ...
Phoenix Medcom requires a business card from each IC contracting with them. I was an IC many years ago and didn't even have a contract then; have been an employee ever since that time. So, do each of you who work as an IC have business cards? And whose contract is it - yours of the company's? Thanks. (and if it's the IC's contract, where do you obtain that?) ...
I had applied to Phoenix Medcom a few months ago when I first saw their post since I thought it was an interesting concept but hadn't heard anything from them. Now I see their new post and they want office experience within the past 5 years, which explains why I hadn't heard from them (it's been about 20 years since I've worked in a doc's office and transcribing for 15). Has anyone interviewed with them and actually gotten a job with them? I'm just ...
According to their job posting, you would not be able to access the internet while connected to the VPN. I was wondering if this would affect ALL computers using the same internet connection. For example, my son connects to the internet on his laptop in my home via wireless connection. If I were logged onto the VPN, would he also be blocked from accessing the internet? Would really appreciate any info from anyone working for Phoenix or with a similar VPN setup. Than ...
Anyone have any first-hand experience, or reliable word of mouth, on the 2 companies above? Good, bad, ugly, indifferent, hit me with your best shot. Email me if more comfortable but don't sugarcoat it. A check of the archives shows a bit about Silent Type but not much current about Phoenix Medcom.
Many thanks for any info or advise. ...
