interesting award??--NEMT - anon


Posted: Aug 09, 2012

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. 

I don't respect their award system for several reasons - sm

Their award system has always been a little biased. If you notice the companies that contribute money to the organization in one way or another, maybe as sponsors for events, etc., you tend to end up on the lists of award nominees and winners. I'm not sure how it should be done, but I don't give any credibility to the winners or runners-up.

if you notice, - the owner is in good with AHDI

Like you said, the companies who contribute the most get the awards. Should not be allowed as the MTs are not employees, they are ICs.

They pay horribly for IC and they never have enough work!

Have you ever noticed that companies that win that award are gone in a year or two? nm - Just Sayin

Now I've heard it all. Patient is 53 yo female, lives alone in a mobile home. Sprained both ankles, unable to bear weight on either ankle. No family/friends to take care of her as they work or in school. Asks if she can go to an assisted living until she is able to bear weight. Doctor tells her to..... get this....  just crawl around her mobile home if she needs to get around. Fifteen years of doing this and I'm so pissed off right now that I feel like writing him a let ...

This article was from July, I just found it. It may have been addressed back then, and if so I missed it.

NEMT, Seriously?
Aug 04, 2010

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 ...


The NEMT Gal
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 g ...

My NEMT Experience
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 ...


My Experience With NEMT
Apr 02, 2011

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 ...

NEMT Not Hiring MTs In MI/IL
Jul 26, 2014

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. ...

NEMT / IC & Schedule
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... ...
