Transportal IC - ILMT

Posted: Dec 12, 2010

Is anyone IC status at Transportal? Do you have a HIPPA policy in place? What is everyone's experience with IC versus employee status with Transportal?

Thanks

I think HIPAA privacy policies are standard and required by all companies now. I am an employee, but still work a flexible schedule as long as I get my lines in. From some of the emails that I have seen, it appears that they often hold the employees to specific schedules as well as production but the ICs are just required to meet their minimum daily production on the days they work. If they do not, some stern team emails fly (probably justifiably so, although sometimes it might be best addressed to each individual).

Okay. So do you have a HIPPA policy? How can I go about getting one? And do you like your job at Transportal and feel it is secure?

For working with TransPortal, the HIPAA policy was part of the agreement I signed with them. Not sure about an IC, but I would assume the same. Also had to watch the online HIPAA training and pass the test (note that it is HIPAA and not HIPPA). I have been there about two years and I personally like it better than other services I have worked for. Pay is decent, plenty of work, supportive staff when you need them, and always paid on time. Not perfect but a good place to work.

Ok so it will be with the contract that is signed with them. I thought we had to come up with our own HIPAA agreement. I have taken HIPAA training before.

Thanks GeorgiaMT

IC/HIPAA - I am an IC currently

I am an IC currently. I started not too long ago. You will have to watch a video and then take a test. Also, the tech will do a HIPAA check of your computer. They go into your computer and check that you have current security system. They will also go into your programs and check them. Only takes 5-10 minutes. Was no problem. Hope this helps.

As an IC you are required to provide them with your "security" documents including security officer, blah blah blah.

They give you a template as to what they are looking for, you tweak it, give it back with your personalized info on it.

I don't work at Transportal but have been an IC for several MTSOs and have never submitted my own documents. I have always just agreed to abide by their HIPAA policies.

and that means what to this thread? - x-Transportal

At TP if you are an IC you have to submit your own documents.

TECHNICALLY and LEGALLY, as an IC you should be giving your CLIENT (the MTSO) YOUR contract and YOUR HIPAA, confidentiality policies, etc.

So perhaps you're a misclassified employee posing as an IC, that sounds more like it.

Just got hired with them... and I'm on my last day of the first pay period... and let me tell you!!! If you get an offer... RUN!! It sounds good, but is far from it! Their sound files are horrible, they don't pay you any kind of training pay ( which I mistakenly MISSED on my part!! oops.. won't make that mistake again), and only give you LIMITED WORK while on QA review which amounts to like 200-300 lines a day!, and.... they have no account specifics whatsoever f ...

I am very good in orthopedics, have done quite a bit in my many years of transcription, did well on the tests as far as I could tell, but got an email that I didn't qualify. Now I see they have another job posting for the same job. What's up? Is it hard to get a job with them. Seriously, orthopedics is my thing and I am well experienced at it. I applied again just in case. Any infro anyone can give on getting a job there? Are they just hard to get a job with? ...

pay 8 cents a line? This is awfully low for an IC position isn't it? I mean, when you are IC don't you have to pay your own taxes and have no benefits at all? So in essence it's a lot less than 8 cents. Are they out of the their minds or is this how long IC jobs are paying now? Around 10 years ago when I considered an IC job it paid 13-15 cents a line to offset. ???? ...

i had a job interview with Transportal's recruiter this past week and one of the things she mentioned is the fact that they will require ICs to purchase Errors and Omissions insurance. She said that by February 2010 the government would be requiring all IC medical transcriptionists to have this coverage. Have they told their current employees/ICs about this and, if so, does anyone have any idea what it costs? It sounds like a good company and the job offer is definit ...
