Veteran's Administration Transcription contracts

.... seems to be having a little "suicide" problem lately. This is the 7th JP Morgan administration suicide in just 2 weeks. Think something is up? LOL ...

I have recently returned to the national arena after having a HORRIBLE experience with an in-house transcriptionist position. I have tested with several companies who used to have a good reputation on this board. I have been offered 3 positions and I am at a loss as to what to do because it seems that there is not ONE of these companies that has a good reputation anymore. Actually, there is not ONE company on this board that has a good reputation PERIOD. I understand ever ...

Has anyone with more than 30+ years of being a veteran MT ever been fired for typing or selecting the wrong DOS in any report? Has anyone worked with a QA editor that didn't have enough experience to know the BOS? I am in total shock and was wondering if I'm the only one that has experienced this in all my years of being an old timer MT. I am really tired of the way this profession has gone downhill fast and how we are treated by these owners. Am I the only one? Sad and very angry ...

Just read another interesting article in that it is estimated that it will take 2-3 newbie MTs to replace 1 veteran MT. Something all these corporate MTSOs better start thinking about. Once they run all the veteran MTs off, find demand is shifting back to onshore transcription, then what are they going to do. Even if they pay newbies lets say a mere 6 cpl...that's 18 cpl if it takes 3 to replace 1 veteran, and the veteran makes probably 9 cpl (maybe 10) so it is costing th ...

A company located in Georgia has set new standards for their new employees. They had recently restructured their company by laying off about 15 MT's. Then the newly hired IC's were given new work conditions. Full-time must produce close to 1,400 lines in 12-hours. Part-time must produce almost 700 lines in 12 hours. This is not going over well with either former long-time IC's or with newly hired IC's. This company apparently does not care how their IC's feel and w ...

If you are hired as an employee (FT), signed a contract for straight typing at a certain amount of CPL, they make the change to ASR, your CPL is decreased, your paycheck is suffering, is there anything to do, aside from leaving? ...

Does anyone know how to obtain a copy of a VA contract between a company and the VA? It is suppose to be public knowledge. Thanks ...

The company I work through as an IC has made changes to our pay rate and the line count minimums without the benefit of having us sign new contracts (our previous contracts do state our pay and the line count requirements). Management contends this is completely legal. I disagree. Any thoughts? ...

Does anyone here integrate their transcription into an EMR? If so, what EMR company is being used? Looking for a way to keep a company from going down the EMR tubes! Help! thanks... ...

Should an IC write her own contract for someone wanting to hire her? ...

We've been given a cutoff date unofficially. MModal will be snail-mailing contracts to us, with 2 weeks to decide whether to join MModal or not. If we choose not to work for MModal, can that be used against us when we file for unemployment? Does unemployment know MModal's reputation for underpaying and overworking its transcriptionists? Any advice greatly appreciated. Should get contract in mail in about a week or so. THANKS! ...

I have been thinking about getting my own contracts instead of working for a big company. Can anyone please advise me on how to go about this? I have been working for five years as an MT and I was just content with what I had but I won't be getting a raise anytime soon (haven't for the past 5 years) and I know that I would be making more independently. So what are the steps of getting your own contracts? What do I need to know before I begin? Thank you all ...

I have contacted Kerry Bentivolio, Congressman for my district, several times regarding the latest taxpayer travesty. Contracts for medical transcription work at the VA Hospitals are now being awarded to an Indian company, IMedx. Financial support for these hospitals is being provided by taxpayers, and those jobs and contracts should be awarded to AMERICANS. There are numerous AMERICAN transcription companies that could not only handle this work, but provide more accurate transcription services ...

Do most ICs who sign contracts requiring 30-day notice adhere to that? I cannot see myself working two full-time jobs, as I oftentimes have trouble meeting minimum line count requirements at the current job because changes seem to come along about every 90 days or so, just when I am getting used to things and am finally able to consistently make the line count. I guess I fear that if I tell the new job I cannot start for 30 days (or even two weeks for that matter) they will not hold ...

I currently work for a company with a VA contract and am getting paid pennies and I thought I read on here awhile ago there is a way to go and look up the contracts and see what they actually bid it for. I tried looking in the archives but couldn't find anything in reference on how to do this. Can somebody please tell me how to do this or point me in the right direction. ...

My company was audited by the DoL. Now being paid the prevailing wage, paid by the hour, made a lot more paid by the line... Afraid to ask company how the hourly is determined, why it changes paycheck to paycheck, why it doesn't match the facilities' counties wage determination (it's VERY much less). Curious to hear from others who are working on VA contracts, anyone else affected? ...

IF they have any contracts, we will be due the new federal minimum wage of 10.10 per hour when that goes into effect. Sadly, I think it is more likely that Nuance will shuck those contracts, if they have them, to avoid this. Anyone know anything about Nuance and VA contracts? ...

Anyone know if ScribeRight got more data migration contracts? I thought this company's CEO said that there were a lot of good things happening and big contracts coming for data migration?! ...

If you work for a transcription company on a VA hospital contract, you should be paid a minimum hourly wage as well as receive benefits per the Service Contract Act. You may be even be eligible for back pay if you have not been paid correctly. You can contact the Department of Labor and file a claim anonymously against your employer. http://www.dol.gov/compliance/topics/wages-fed-contracts.htm ...

I would appreciate any input anyone may have on these 3 companies. I have tried to find out about them through their local BBB, but only Net Med Transcription has anything on it. Thanks. ...

I have found a few things on these companies but was looking to find a little more in depth information from past or current employees. ...

Hi! Anyone heard of or work for Craft Transcription or SOAP Transcription??? I have a interview today with SOAP. Any information is appreciated. ...

Just trying to get info on both companies. Don't see much when I search. Anyone work for either of these and can give me more info would be appreaciated. ...

Anyone hear from them yet? Over 1100 views, that means a billion resumes. ...

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here. While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...

I have been offered a position with both. I have; however, in the past, had a position where the employer still owes me $6000. Does United pay and have the work? Does Nuance have enough work for me? I need full time work guaranteed income, like everyone else. Good luck to all out there! ...
