Re merger, read the policies link?

If we are SO important to the care and safety of patients, then why has my pay been cut more than 50%--4 years ago it was 40% and then when bought by Nuance, it was cut again--not sure of the %. When speech started, does anyone think when our pay was cut that these companies starting billling the clients less for the same work? No, we get paid the less, the companies charge the same or more...more profits for them, less and less for us. How am I supposed to want to do my job when ...

Anyone see this company going downhill with this new rapid response poo? I understand opening up the queues and all that for quicker TAT, but now my line count is backsliding, running out of work on a frequent basis. The new policies are being written by head honchos that have no clue how things are done, just looking for a quicker buck, and then wording their so-called memos with some much gooble-d-gook big words that you have to have a college professor decipher, you cant decide wh ...

Years ago, hospitals were charged 15 cents a line. Now you see ads for 9 cents. You all know all the factors that make this possible. The executives are not going to lower their salaries; they are going to continue to try to lower their cost per line of transcription. If you are doing this to make some extra money, that is one thing, but for most MTs there is going to be no way you will be able to earn a decent full-time salary unless you can work 100 hours a week. ...

I've been doing a lot of research in the past few weeks and wonder if others have reached the same conclusions. My MTSO is offering a backup "mini-medical" (reduced benefits) plan for employees whose hours have been decreased due to lack of work. When I resarched this kind of plan, this is what I learned. 1. A typical major medical insurance plan: Your insurance carrier recommends seeing in-network care providers. The carrier has pre-negotiated rates with these pro ...

I heard or read somewhere the everyone was getting a half cent pay cut, whether part-time or full-time. I was cut a full cent - so I'm guessing I must have heard/read this wrong. ...

My region did the switch this weekend and so far everything has gone smoothly for me except when I hit F9 it says there are no results (looking for my feedback and line counts). Any ideas? TIA ...

Anyone else in SA3 having problems with this merger? My first job after we switched to the combined South area with a new log in # came up completed by someone else. Called my manager and she said her phone is riinging off the hook with people telling her the same thing. She does not know what the problem is, has to investigate. My CCM is great, I know she will inform us as soon as she knows, but in the meantime if these jobs keep coming up completed and all I do is upload ...

Do you have work? Able to get into backlog? Running out of work? ...

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago. I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously. While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here. I will offer my advice. Treat it like a death of a spouse. Mourn your loss and look towards the future. Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months. Go with ...

Here's a link to the merger agreement. WARNING: This is not for the faint at heart! www.hotstocked.com/8-k/transcend-services-inc-new-TRCR-1378652.html ...

I guess this is just a question to those who have been part of a Nuance merger in the past. Were you able to keep the schedule you were working before the merger, or were you herded into the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift spots? I work split shift over two of them right now. Anyone allowed to keep working M-F after a merger? I suppose I'm mainly wondering if I can continue to pick my own random schedule after the Trasncend merger is complete. ...

Anybody notice merger of MModal with One Equity Partners? OEP invests in transactions that promote strategic and operating change, creating long-term value...... what does that mean. Sounds like a redo of our company getting rid of things and people they don't like... ...

My company "merged" with Imedx several months ago. Here is my question to those who have had their company merge with Imedx: What happens if/when your account goes to India? Does the account slowly phase out or is it just one day gone? Can I expect honesty about what is going on or will the higher ups just act like they are oblivious and they have no idea why that account suddenly dried up? ...

Well I was in the West regeon. The big "merger" of accounts took place on Monday the 18th. Well...by Wednesday I started to get the "no jobs allocated" message. I am really hoping this is not going to be a trend. All of the work must have seriously gone offshore...if not, where is it? This doesn't look good... ...

So how is the merger going between DTS America and Transcend? Is Transcend keeping the promise that nothing will change - pay - accounts? Just curious..... ...

So now Medquist and M*Modal are merging. Wonder what this is going to mean for all of us working for companies that utilize M*Modal. Now I understand why WMX sold out to Nuance. Seems to me no one wants to hire Medquist because of their terrible quality so now they are swallowing up competitors platforms and bullying their way into accounts. They have already stopped allowing other companies to use their DocQScribe platform. Interested to know anyone else's thoughts. ...

I am afraid all accounts will have to use voice recognition because that is the way things are changing. No more straight typing. We will not be MT's, but editors. http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/hi_18/archive/2011/07/14/change-ahead-for-m-modal-and-medquist.aspx http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110712/BUSINESS05/307120031/MedQuist-buys-speech-recognition-company l ...

Can anyone currently working in QA at Nuance comment on how the position is compensated. Do you get an hourly wage like we currently do at Transcend or can we expect to be switched to production based. Do you even have QA staff? The company I came from previously (Medquist) practically did away with their QA staff, making them MTs/QA. Just wondering what I can expect. Thanks for your opinions. ...

I am very concerned about this merger (EMTS emloyee). Since it occurred, our work load has been very low so, of course, I am wondering if iMedX employees are getting some of our work? Extremely worried. Anyone else having the same issue? ...

Does anybody out there have any idea how many Transcenders quit after the merger? I know this would be an estimate, of course. I just participated in a mandatory conference call and it's the first time I actually heard a higher-up (regional supervisor) admit that people had been quitting. I figured that was the case because of the increased TAT situations lately (especially on the weekends) so I wasn't surprised in the leas ...

I just realized something that hit me in the gut. I so want to believe T in the conference call that nothing is going to change, 2 companies with mutual interest, blah, blah, blah. She sounded so honest and confident in what she was saying. Today I realized the FAQ sheet she provided on IMedX was very misleading. She stated they are headquartered in Atlanta with 2 additional offices in Connecticut and Ohio. She didn't mention (intentionally I can only imagine) ...

At least I still have my Avon, lol ...

Our company recently merged with imedx. Will we lose our employee status and become ICs? ...

An MT (or supervisor) was kind enough several days ago to come on this website and share the inside info she had about events occurring in the near future such as accounts, some of which I believe are accounts that support my family, going offshore. I appreciate that MT very much stepping forward. I and others have since asked some questions which have not been answered, maybe because the thread was several days old when the questions were asked or perhaps that MT hasn't come ba ...

I'm utterly confused regarding this latest merger/acquisition/whatev of MQ of M*Modal. I just accepted a position with an MTSO working on the M*Model platform. Does the fact that the Q purchased M*Modal mean that down the road I will be working for MQ? Does this mean that MQ just owns the rights to M*Model and now has the ability to charge the MTSOs obscene amounts of money to continue to use the platform? Does this affect our positions as MTs who do work on M*Model ...
