Phoenix Medcom question - always looking

Posted: Jul 28, 2010

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-

Where do you see their payscale? It is not listed in the ad. NM - mt

If they want you to test, they will send you their pay scale and other info - Very upfront

They don't want to waste their time OR your time and are very upfront with their payscale, etc.

If you sent your resume and they are interested in you, you'll receive everything PRIOR to testing.

I looked on their website and do not see any mention of cpl rate. Would you care to share where you got this information. Also, what about the platform they use. Anyone know how it is? Thanks for your help.

Templated lines are lines that you get from templates sm - atadofinfo

that are defaulted in the document so you are not typing those. Some are pulled in via macros though.

Line rates are on the lower side but is straight typing that I know of. No VR nightmare. No increase.

They use Edmat/Inscribe.

Note: My search of the archives only brings up a host of "We are currently updating our site/forum software" page errors.

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 ...

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! ...

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? ...

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 ...
