I tested for them last week. The actual dictation part was not difficult, but the general skills test is very difficult. It is timed. You have 60 seconds to answer each question and there are nearly 100 questions in three separate categories. In switching from one section to the next, their system created an error and I could not get back in to complete the test. They fixed it and about two hours later, I could get back in, but due to it being timed, I failed the test. Good luck, if you try. The test is almost like a CMT exam. Very difficult and covers many different specialties from Internal Med, OBGYN, (no ortho which is my specialty), neurology, etc. Other than that, I believe they start out a 7.5 cpl and go up to 8 after off of QA.

Thanks! I tested with them yesterday, and think I failed the general skills portion of the test. How long did it take for them to get back to you and let you know if you pass or fail? I didn't like the timed test. That was the only time I had to take a timed test, it gives you no time to look things up to make sure you have the correct answer, 60 seconds is not enough time.

I took the test last wednesday and just heard officially today that I did not pass. It was no surprise.

I did not like the timed test either. At one point, I had tried connecting outside their site to look up an answer and it immediately logged me out of their system. I agree that 60 seconds is not enough time. They seem to be very anal for the amount of money they are offering per line. Good luck though. :-)

Johnson Medical Group
Oct 12, 2012

Has anyone ever heard of Johnson Medical Group.  They guarantee you have a job once you take tests and are up to par on their expectations.  You have to pay $295.00 for their materials and training.  It's an IC job, so I would have to invest in hardware for my computer too because the companies I worked for before furnished equipment.  I tried to look up reviews of them on the Internet but could not find any. ...

Jan 12, 2013

I just saw an online ad for Johnson Medical Group. The ad says you can make up to 4K a month and says the more you work, the more you earn (well, obviously, but apparently it's up to you how much you work). They seem to prefer entry level people and have a training program, but also hire those with experience. You have to buy their software for $300. Looks like all positions are IC. Anyone have any knowledge of them? ...

Patient has had panniculectomy in the past and has a well-healed scar except for some shininess to it and a tendency for one small area to have superficial dehiscence with bleeding if pressure placed. The doc clearly says, "...recommended having the patient put s/l *peri-dressing* over his..." and later "...have obtained several of these dressings for the patient." Can't find anything.

Professional Dictation Associates

This is some of the worst audio I have EVER heard in my 30+ years in this business.  I have sent emails and IM's but "apparently, the problem is on my end, becuase everything is as clear as a bell."   NOT!  Short, clippy, clinic notes, and QA pickier than all get out.  I notated a tempate where I thought there was an incorrect spelling and was called on the carpet was that -- actually QA was wrong.  With the amount of lines they expect as an IC per day, it is ridiculous and of course, ...


TransAm Associates, Valrico, FL
Aug 23, 2013

Does anybody know anything about TransAm Associates in Valrico, FL.  I've heard many different things, good and bad, but have found out after working for them that they simply do not have enough work to go around.  Sometimes I will have a lot of work and actually make a good buck, but then the rest of the month (yep paid once a month) - is so bleak and in "feast or famine" mode, may only see two to four jobs per day, thus negating all the earnings I made earlier in the month!  ...
