Does anyone work for Inscribe out of Ky doing Radiology? Is this a good company to work for? How is their Radiology?

The only good thing to say about them is the pay is deposited when they say it will be.
There is no QA help, they expect you to find your own help, but they QA your work to death with a 99% accuracy requirement. Their rules change weekly. You get BIG RED SCREAMING emails. They used to sent out "call fire" phone calls to get you on. The last one I got was 11:45 p.m. and they "watch" you to make sure you are on all the time during your "work window". All-in-all, not a pleasant company to work for. The managers are under a LOT of pressure to turn work around, but they also hire MTs with no experience with the expectation (and this was in one of their emails) that they would fire 25% of them within a month. Also they change managers like they change underwear. BUT the Rad manager, if she is still here, is a nice lady. If you can work with that kind of pressure, the money is always there.
Has anybody taken the Radiology testing for Inscribe??? Very long and very thorough. If you don't know MRI or total body bone scan, you might as well forget this test. I had a headache after I finished. Anybody else doing this???? ...
Anyone have any experience/knowledge of Inscribe.us? I am about to get offered a job with them for either straight transcrition or VR editing? Their line rate seems to be very good for both. ...
Does anyone besides me think that the radiology ASR stinks. On almost every report I am having to change/correct every third or fourth word. And is an, punctuation where it doesn't belong, words left out that are dictated, words put in that are not dictated, etc, etc, etc. ...
I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour. Now a local hospital is interested in my helping them out on the weekends with their radiology backlog, and are wanting to pay by report, but I have no idea what the average pay per report should be. Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...
Is there anyone in SA5 besides me who seems to have no work virtually every day in the mornings? This lack of work started before Thanksgiving and hasn't picked up yet, at least for me. Anybody? ...
I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...
My CCM told me that radiology was never outsourced---so where the hell is all the work. Thanksgiving was a week ago, could it possibly still be that? ...
What's the going rate with Radiology these days? I'm getting $18/hour, but I could be making (much, much) more if I got paid by the line or by the dictated minute. ...
When typing a radiology report, do you send the results/report of a radiology exam to just the ordering provider or the ordering and the family provider? I am trying to find out if there is an industry standard. The hospital I work for is looking at discontinuing sending the family provider a copy. Thank you! ...
Hello, I am a student and new to this site. I'm unclear on word, and since my knowledge isn't too great yet, I'm not sure if the sentence makes sense. The word I'm not sure is "vary", here is the sentence:
The small bowel transit time was approximately 2 hours or normal for this contrast medium vary the terminal ileum also appears within normal limits.
Thank you for your help! ...
I need some help from you guys. I'm a newbie and I'm trying to land my first full-time job after a year of searching. I've just been doing general transcription online; no medical.
I had an interview at the local hospital in my area but they want to test me for the radiology dept. Can anybody tell me what terms are used most frequently for radiology MT's. Or just any info. would help me. I've never taken a radiology test. Thanks!

What's the best way to learn Radiology? I have no experience in this specialty. Should I just wait until I get a new job and am in it for a while, then ask to be trained on a Radiology account? ...
Hi,
Can anyone recommend the best radiology reference? I'd like terms, phrases, and abbreviations combined. I'd like to have one reference at-hand.
First, assignment/dictator could barely understand. How long before you felt more comfortable with various reports? ...

He starts out saying XXXXX bilateral knees. It sounds like he's saying "fay pee". The left knee shows subchondral sclerosis in the medial compartment of the femur and the tibial plateau. Anyone have a clue? Thanks. ...
I realize it varies depending on where you live - but not by that much, I think. I applied at a local hospital in June and this morning got an email message that there was opening in the Rad Department for MT. I went ahead and sent my electronic application. No guarantee I'll even called for interview much less get the job, but I'm curious if the hospitals tend to pay by the hour or by page, etc.
The benefits are incredible and that is the rea ...
I noticed that posting and sent an email. Pretty sure they posted something similar before because my email had saved their address in it. Never heard back though. Does anyone remember this besides me? Did anyone get hired? Or a call? Or an interview? $2.50 a report, for anyone who has never been paid per report, is excellent! ...
I always have docs saying "a 5 mm foci" in the liver. Since foci is plural of focus, shouldn't it be a 5 mm focus? This isn't an isolated case, have heard many doctors over many years say this, have NEVER heard anyone dictate "a focus" -- they always say "a foci". Is this rad-slang or am I crazy or what? ...
I see that Keystrokes is hiring for radiology. I have read some of the feeds on Keystrokes, but was wondering if radiology MTs were having similar issues. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...
