Reply regarding MediScripts, Inc. - ms22

As we are all entitled to our opinions, I would like an opportunity to voice mine as well.  I have worked for MediScripts (capital M, capital S) for 3 years, and have found it to be a very flexible company with a family-like atmosphere, albeit virtual.  We are a company of experienced MTs in many states, with our home office being in Kansas.  Rather than clocking in and working set hours of the day for random providers, we have specific providers assigned to us, enabling us to personalize and tailor our work for each one.  When one transcriptionist requests vacation, has sick kids or becomes overloaded, we are able to provide coverage for one another and still meet our 24-hour turn-around time.  While learning a "dot code" system that is specific to one client has a very large learning curve, it is this work atmosphere and flexible work schedule that make it worth putting in the effort to learn it.  And of course, after a couple of weeks or so, it should become second nature and is no longer the struggle that it was at first.  We require 3 "clean" documents before a transcriptionist no longer needs proofing, as confirmation that she/he is ready to meet our accuracy standards, something I am sure is not unique to MediScripts.  We still have the clients we do because we are accurate and we believe the "customer" is always right.  

On a personal note, I have been a transcriptionist since 1993 (18+ years), and have served many clients over this time period.  And although you mention that MediScripts' training is minimal, I personally invested many hours of my time via phone call, proofreading and emailing detailed explanations to encourage and instruct.  I am truly sorry that MediScripts did not work out for you, @typinggal2000, but I don't believe it's accurate to fault the company.

Thanks for allowing me to share my experiences.

I agree with the above 2 posts. There are few places - as flexible and caring. MS36
