Webmedx-used to be a good job - MT

Posted: Aug 30, 2010

Where is all the work? Are you giving it to the newbies you trained in your acquired school? What about us loyal employees? Employer of the year a joke. Left out here flapping in the wind with no word on what is going on except losing accounts left and right and not enough work to go around. Moving to new system but no word on that. Where are you, employer of the year? Have you abandoned us?

I miss Webmedx...the Webmedx I actually started with in 2005, not the one in business today. I was laid off last year by Webmedx after being told that our new VR system was going to make things great for us. Then after being trained on the new system there was no work AT ALL! The doctors on my account decided to do their own editing. Goodbye job for all of us! Thanks Webmedx!

Laid off? - sm

Didn't they offer you another account?

I hadn't heard anything about losing accounts lately. Thought we actually had picked some up.

Nope I got a call from my manager's supervisor last September and she told me that since I was being laid off I could apply for unemployment benefits and that they did not have another account to put me on, that all the accounts were covered and I was just one of many calls she was having to make because my manager was gone for vacation.

Have you been on unemployment or were you able to find a new job? It is very worrying. They said the accounts went to India that we recently lost via Chartmatrix, but it seems to me that the STMs now seem to put the corporate TAT numbers at the top of the list and what we want as MTs and even what the client wants seems to be brushed aside, so I would not blame some of them for defecting.

Do you really think the STMs are in charge of that? sm - Kookaburra

Those numbers and goals are set by clients (TAT) and by corporate, not by your daily team leaders.

That's the problem - wwaiting

What I mean is that previously there seemed to be greater concentration on getting templates correct so that every time you typed it you didn't have to correct mistakes, also interaction with the doctors doing the dictation to get it to their liking. I am not blaming the STM for that because they are obvious given the TAT as their top priority, I just mean if I were the dictator that wasn't getting anyone asking me how I like stuff typed, that would annoy me too and I might as well go to India, and that is the feeling I am getting because when I ask they just say it's all in the ISR and that should be fine, meaning well I don't think they even ask the doctors, frankly.

Of course not controlled by STMs. But corporate is in charge and we are the guts of the company and we are sitting here idle being told what a great company we work for. We are going to a new platform with lots of work. Just be patient. But my landlord isn't patient and my utily holders are not patient and my car loan provider not so patient. Been told the same story for over a month now, lost accounts, no work forthcoming, no new platform, just hanging out to dry. No doubt many accounts went to India as hospital administrators are greedy and stupid as well. But I expected better from this company who prides itself on being the best. I am more concerned that we are being replaced internally by newbies and those less qualified. Not sure how else to explain mandatory overtime when we were busy to now nothing to do at all. ASR sometimes a joke. Could transcribe in less time than it takes to correct ASR. I know its time has come, so look out all. Less money for more work and it's as boring as any job I have ever had.

I have been on unemployment and have been trying to find another work at home position that isnt just IC status.

Good luck - wwaiting

I have been looking at the job seeker's board and there has not been a lot, so I can understand how hard it must be. What a bummer. Best of luck.

The accounts went to Spheris, not India specifically. SM - weblo

[ In Reply To ..]
Spheris got that whole hospital system. Did they really say it went to "India"?

Now that you mention it - wwaiting

[ In Reply To ..]
No, they just said they could not compete with India, which I guess means companies who outsource to India, which they do not at this stage. Not a lot of Spheris comments on here, so either they are all very happy or they have somewhere else to vent.

Spheris - RLee

Didn't Medquist buyout Spheris?? If that is the case - check out the Medquist board on MTStars and just maybe that is where they are venting.

The 10 hospital accounts went to MedQuist - DJB

[ In Reply To ..]
that were lost from ChartMatrix at Webmedx.

You do realize Spheris and MQ are the same, right? - huh?

[ In Reply To ..]
When they were bid out Spheris won, MQ bought Spheris after.

where you a higher paid MT? - n/m

I was. That has changed with no work. I think I understand where you are going.

Laid off - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
We lost at least 8 hospitals on the CM side. Not sure about Enterprise. Heard it picked up new big accounts, plenty of work for everyone. But those of us on the CM side have no ability to access it and work is running out and nonexistent. This hurts. Been there a long time.

I hope they cherish the Employer of the Year award because they won't see another one. Should have seen this coming because the past few weeks have been horrible. What will they do when the ones who did not get the axe decide they don't want to work for such an untrustworthy company and go elsewhere? I did not get the Force Reduction letter but am papering the world with my resumes because I can't make money for people who lie and ruin lives the way they do. I wonder if they had even a fleeting thought about thinning the herd at the top, like the ones who never knew what an MT was before they got hired on with a fancy title. After all, aren't they the ones who are supposed to be earning their big bucks by preventing this sort of thing? Oh, and they can stuff their 6-H's, too. What a joke.

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling something is really not right here, a feeling of foreboding, afraid to check my e-mail. From getting e-mails about pauses being reported as too high (from MModal's program), being told to blank it instead of spending so much time on research. Then getting e-mail about too high of a percentage of QA. Then from others have heard they have been fired for not meeting the state minimum wage. A big increase in HIPAA violations, more than likely due to tryi ...

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff.

Well Good Friday to me. I left Spheris. It is indeed the best Friday for me in a very long time. I've had it with their lousy platform, Mafia QA (they try their best to kill your spirit), mandatory this, mandatory that, do this, don't do that, change this, don't change that; no, don't change this, don't change that, and on and on and on, and now their bankruptcy. No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...

The unremarkable Wedmedx needs to pay for the downtime MTs are incurring because they want to switch everything over to their horrendous ISR. The unremarkable Webmedx requires 1 to 4 hours to get new computers up and running and yet we production people are supposed to make up that time or use our PTO time or just not get paid. The unremarkable Webmedx just hired new people and gave them bonuses to sign on but can't pay their longtime loyal employees for time lost due to no ...

I just want you to know what a phenomenal job I think you all did on those atrocious accounts. I QA'ed your work and was amazed at what you could decipher out of those dictations. You are all amazing MTs in my eyes and any company out there would be lucky to have you working for them. I am so sorry we are all going through this but everything happens for a reason, so they say. Let's just hope we all have brighter days ahead of us and better things. I was blessed to wo ...

I know a lot of MTs and I keep getting calls to get on MTStars and read the latest bashing of Webmedx. So when I finished work today I decided to do just that. To hear all of your complaints I wonder if this is the same company I've been working for all these years. I've been editing since ISR started with them and it took me about a year to make up and at times exceed where I was. Now I prefer ISR. The long and the short of it is that as long as Webmedx keeps ...

Anyone else working for/or have worked for both who has noticed a difference in the quality of the ASR on one as compared to the other. I may be crazy, but I think I make far fewer corrections to the ASR on MQ work.
