The NEMT gal - PedalPshr

Posted: Aug 07, 2010

Just days after doubting myself a bit and worrying about not finding more work, I landed a great IC gig yesterday! Got my resume out there and timing is everything. Better pay, opportunity to advance, straight transcription, and most of all less chance of running out of work.

To all the MTs out there struggling and staying with a company that sucks, it is possible to get out. It's taken me 2-1/2 years of doing IC to get to this point.

Keep pushing and never give up the dream of a better job.

Congrats - You went to NEMT?

By the time I set aside enough to pay taxes, I bring home less than minimum wage! I don't get it!

Don't blame yourself, it's all been a mind game by the powers that be.

MTs are by nature perfectionists, highly competitive, logical and knowledgeable. If we do not know, we make it our business to know the how and why of everything.

The declining MT paycheck has been a mystery. Afterall, we work hard, our skill is ever improving, and our check should reflect that. We believe that. Add into the mix that we are fed rhetoric about how lucky we are to have such a wonderful job where we can work at home, how it is a priviledge to have such a great job that working part of our day for no compensation is an honor.

Get out of here. I say, "No sale."

This is the same song and dance that the robber barons sold their employees when they exploited them in the early 1900s. We are once again living the Guilded Age, the society of have and have nots. More of us are in the ever-working have not category while a the few that have do not work, they just own the company. They have private yachts, lavish vacations, make 21 million a year and buy $700 shirts - then fire 102 of us in a conference call so they can oursource to keep the money flowing.

In what world does it make sense for ONE man to make 21 million dollars a year and take away 102 American jobs when that fellow could take a 2% cut in pay to keep those jobs on American soil?

I asked that man, "What entitles you to that kind of money? All people need three things - food, shelter and clothing. The only thing that separates us is the quality and quantity of those things, so what is it you have in your world that costs so much more than the rest of us? What entitles you?"

He had no answer.

This fellow is among the greatest of American Terrorists - The Greedy Corporate Head.

Has anyone taken the IC pre-hiring test for NEMT? It's four dictations and a fill-in-the-blank. Like lots of other MTs, I'm trying to find some extra $$$ because my primary has been running low on work lately. I thought I did quite well, only one dictation did I leave three blanks because it was ESL and although I'm usually proficient with ESL, we all know it takes time to acclimate yourself to the dictator. They sent me a polite e-mail this ...

Feb 22, 2011

Just wanted to post my experience with NEMT for everyone. For me this is an absolutely fantastic place to work. Basically, if you can produce good quality work and want to be appreciated for it then this would be a good fit. What you've heard about them being picky is true. If you want to work for them you better bring your A game and you have GOT to be able to accept constructive criticism. BUT, the QA is very consistent, fair and helpful. Not to mention real ...

I thought I would let everyone know the experience I had with NEMT. I have never had an experience quite like this one. Do not assume when you are hired that you HAVE the job. I was hired as an IC MT for NEMT. I started my orientation, which is basically training, not this last Monday but the Monday before. You get on at 7 am cst and stay on until 1 pm cst. You have to have a minimum of 5 reports during that time, which was not possible except for one day.&nbs ...

FYI for everyone looking to hire into NEMT, they do not hire anyone located in Michigan or Illinois :) Thought I would let you know so you don't waste your time. I am personally done with the MT game. Start a bus driver job this week, will be making the same I did with all these recent MTSOs with a much better schedule. What a crying shame what the industry has come to. Don't hire with Keystrokes either, they are losing accounts as well. Good luck. ...

So, did anyone ever receive a job offer from NEMT? I tested at 2 a.m., after working two other shifts, in order to meet their 24-hour deadline. Wasn't feeling very "elite," shouldn't have even submitted it, but didn't want to be a no-show. ...

Jun 25, 2015

So is this legit? Most places I've worked in the past 10 or so years gave me a 24-hour window to accomplish my goal for the day. I tend to work best in chunks with time in between for, you know, life. I get that if I were an independent contractor to a lawn service, say, I obviously wouldn't mow lawns at 2:00 a.m. But "the client needs a schedule" seems a little wonky. Any thoughts - preferably the productive kind and not the snarky kind please... ...

My friend who is attending the AHDI conference in Indianapolis just texted me that the company we are ICs for (New England Medical Transcription) was awarded the Employer of the Year. Now isn't that strange--we're all ICs and the only "employees" are management! They use ICs illegally and get awarded for it! And here we sit on NJA all the time. Must have been hard up for nominees is all I can say. ...

Aug 10, 2012

ADHI named NEMT as the employer of the year, which for once I actually agree with them on! Aftering being with this company for over 2 years I have to say they are awesome to work for. For example, The owner sends emails to all the ICs letting them know what is going on with the company as a whole, rather than keeping everyeone in the dark and having everything be all hush hush and on a need to know basis. We get paid weekly and get $50 each quarter for passing our audits. ...

Feb 13, 2015

your experience with NEMT is like as part of the support team. What is your average line count? What are the accounts like? Lots of ESL? Lots of speech? Lots of traditional transcription? Is the pay rate the same for both speech and transcription? Would love to hear some of your experience there. ...

Feb 17, 2015

I tested for them and a couple of others. Got offers for the others but would like to see what NEMT can do before I accept anything. Does anyone have any idea how long they take to respond after testing? This happened once before with another company I heard from after I accepted another offer. Don't want to jump the gun but don't want to not have a job either. ...

Not sure what is up but find it odd with this company. I passed their tests and of course they send me paperwork to fill out as a new hire whjich I did. Get an email stating that the HR person would contact me to set up an interview. Okay, maybe I need a nap, but I sent them paperwork telling them the schedule that I would be available to work; sent it along with testing files, then got another email as to my schedule and availablility (this was with the "Welcome to NEMT email"). I get a ...
