I'm wondering, is this a new company or perhaps an old company with a new name?
a friend of mine worked for them - started as "government work" for 7 cpl

which she could understand, they pay what they pay. Then was added other accounts to work on for the same crappy pay! She has since moved on.
The pay is horrible... - they pay 7 cpl WITHOUT spaces!

Run as fast as you can away from this company. QA person is friendly and helpful, the big boss not so much.

I have recently begun working here and I'm still on the fence. The platform is horrible, the font size is extremely small and I cannot get it to increase. I spend more time filling in the demographics (not being paid for this of course) and all the jobs are short in length, haven't transcribed more than 150 lines in an hour... and I don't see that inceasing any time soon with all the demographic input that is necssary. I would love to hear from others who work here and what they really think about it.
You can increase the font size if you are - using M*Modal editor

by clicking on "User", then "increase font size" as many times as necessary. It will stay that font size from then on. Hope this helps!
In the last 5 months, I have been fired from MM after 16 years of dedicated service on my part (95.5% audit, buh-bye), have collected UE, applied for hundreds (literally) of jobs in the large metro area in which I live, cried on my husband's shoulder (the kindest and best of men) and helped take care of my ailing 92-year-old mom (what a sweetie).
In the last month, my mom passed away (worried about me, not herself).
In the last 10 days, my young dachshund passed away from lymphoma (e ...
Well, everything is all set. I have all my reservations and my travel plans set. Leaving tomorrow at noon, meeting the team on Monday morning at 8:15. I'm scared to death!! Besides this being my first filight EVER, I'm nervous about the second test that I'll have to take - I'm hoping that I pass!

I see Patient First is offering medical transcription jobs. Does any work there presently or know anything about the company. They are out of Virginia.
Thanks. ...
I have read the archives regarding Patient First. I am curious as to if all possible hires have to travel to Virginia. I understand it is company paid, however just curious if this is a standard requirement. ...
This was in a UK paper but I don't recall hearing about it here in the US. Hmmm.....I wonder why.

I work as an MT in a very rural area, so the pay is VERY good for me. We are a one income household since my husband got laid off and I easily pay the mortgage, car payments, all of the bills, etc. I was wondering, if a person lives in a much more expensive area, like California where a person's mortgage would easily be four times mine, do they get more money per line to compensate for that, or is it the same? ...

Why do companies not want to use mac computers? I have tested many times using word 2003 on my computer but they get scared or dont know what to do if I tell them I use a mac computer. ...
I have gone from NJA most of the time to now doing late work and have been having more work the last few days. How is this possible? Did MTs quit? I just don't get it. I am not complaining mind you but just wondering---how strange! ...
gotten their pay docked 3 cents a line for critical errors, over 5% QA submission, etc.
I haven't heard anyone actually say that happened to them. Is it just a threat ? I know they would LIKE to dock our pay.
The reason I ask is that I've been having a bad past few weeks.....extra difficult/bad sound quality reports plus stress along with that has caused me to have to sent more than 5% to QA plus I make two what they call critical errors (I saw them as ...
Hope I've got this on the right board. I'm to the point where I need to get a new chair. My back hurts, my butt hurts, and ... well ... you get the idea. just wondering if anyone can recommend a good, reasonably priced chair. ...
how hard it would be to switch from doing medical transcription to legal transcription? That might be a good way to transition out of MT for someone who wants to try something else and still work at home. I know nothing about it and thought maybe some of you do??

As an in-house MT we were required to wear business casual clothing. Another job required scrubs. Now that I work from home, I wear pJs, sweats, jeans, shorts, whatever.
I noticed that when I am "dressed" (not in pj's or sweats) that I seem to be more productive and I was wondering if others have noticed the same thing. Sometimes I wonder if the way we dress to transcribe affects our productivity as a professional employee. You know when you dress up to go ou ...
Who are they going to blame once they switch over to the EMR and there are a million mistakes on the chart? They won't have the MTs to blame any more, so I wonder, who will it be??? Maybe the "scribe" or the med student who has to follow the docs around because they will be too lazy to type a few things into the computer? Just wondering----. ...
get any kind of card, greeting, token or whatever from their MTSO? This is the first time in over 20 years of MT that I received nothing, not even a happy holidays pat on the back email from a supervisor. Now don't get me wrong; I'm not a person who gets all sentimental over the holidays, but really, to work for one of the biggest companies in the world and not even get an e-card? Maybe I am just being a silly old fool, but this seems very omnious to me, like tr ...
It's 11:30 p.m., and I'm looking at this website and have not thoroughly read this forum, so please don't get angry at me. I'm 59 this year and can hardly believe the course below would only take a month to complete. I fully realize, of course, that in no way, shape or form would this make me a coder but might hopefully get me into a doctor's office (?), which I'm having no luck whatsoever despite sending resumes, since I've had no recent ...
I wonder that most of us seem to be in the mid-40s and even later 50s or 60s that are sick of the MT garbage and want to get out by going back to school.
Has anyone considered the fact of how old you/we will be when we graduate a program? Even a 1-year program likely will take 2 years to go through if somone has to work full-time to support themselves, even with loans to pay for school.

...can hardly stand to listen to another syllable of these dictators (I think they're supposed to be professionals?) who can hardly put two words together? I had a resident dictate over 30 minutes of absolute garbage today and this was actually an extremely sick patient. This is why I go to the doctor visits with my family members these days. Family members absolutely have to stay on top of things because we could encounter one of these residents/fellows who, in all honesty, may have the be ...

Okay, I have to wonder if it costs so much to train an MT for a company that they would not work with their MTs to keep them happy in the work types and specialties they do.
Most times instead if you are not happy with your accounts, they just fire you. Doesn't anyone work with anyone so it benefits the MT and the company both?
I find it so maddening that someone just hired can do this without even discussing it with the MT at all. Just fire them because they wanted to try another sp ...
Just wondering if a transcriptionist with too many years of experience to tell fails an audit, then how are these India MTs keeping their jobs. Are they passing their audits? I just have a hard time believing that they are. ...
Lately I have been setting a timer for an hour and have actually done this for a long time, just to see what I do in an hour... seems of late is getting harder to make more than 18.00 to 20.00 an hour... and I have 28 yrs experience... seems to me something has been set that makes it impossible to do any better, no matter the dictators, the difficulty of the dictation, etc, etc. etc...
Anyone else seem to think something is up? Not mentioning company... ...
