Posted: May 17, 2014other and now we are all scrambling for work. Seems to be the sign of the times.
Are the accounts being taken over by - another MTSO

or is it due to the EMR? Either way, it is a sad/angering situation.
Probably some of both. Not sure if she will lay off or - CAMT

by the big-boys or technology. Jobs are needed so badly here and knowing they are being outsourced and not being able to do anything about it is so frustrating. I know things change, blah, blah, blah (all the arguments we hear,) but it still is wrong in my opinion to knowingly to hurt Americans that are willing to work by giving their work away, not matter what field it is in. I really hope you weather the storm to a brighter future.

Losing Account-Landmark Jun 06, 2014Anyone else suffering from this at Landmark? Worked for company for almost 10 years as an employee. Now all of a sudden they lost an account, have no work available to compensate for it. Notified us by an email which I personally never received. Asked if I wanted to be put on a waiting list for new work. Are you serious? I'm just baffled that they have gone to treating their MT's this way as they have been nothing but great to work for in the past. ...
Nuance Losing Account? Maybe It's Working! Dec 08, 2014So you need help on this account so far out of TAT you're in danger of losing it.
Sounds like people are deserting.
Maybe if they lose a few accounts they'll get the message. One can only hope.
I feel sorry for the managers. It must be pretty tough sitting between the leeches and those whom they suck the blood out of. How do they do it? ...
Small Company Vs MTSO Sep 08, 2011I am beginning to think it's better to work for a small company than a big MTSO. So many of the comments on here are really not in favor of the "big boys." I'm sure it's partly old employees that dislike the company, but there seems to be less "drama" about the smaller companies. I would LOVE to find a small company that uses the Emdat Inscribe platform.
Thoughts, ideas on the subject or tips on smaller companies who actually pay? ...
Small MTSO Speaking Out ... SM Aug 06, 2013I've been a member of this board for years and feel it's time to speak out from a business owner's perspective. I see a lot of negativity against MTSOs (maybe it's just the big ones but still it touches a nerve) and just wanted to give my 2 cents.Not all of us are greedy, mean, nasty, evil people. I can't speak for everyone but as for myself, I don't consider myself that way at all and my team of transcriptionists doesn't think so either. As a ...

Tax Question. I Got Done Working For A Small MTSO Last January But She Was Late In Paying Me The La Dec 26, 2009so I did not get the checks until sometime in January/Feb. She never sent my 1099 on time when I worked for her so I doubt I will even get one this year unless she decides to say she paid me more than she really did (which I would not put past her). Do I have to claim the money she paid me in 2009 even though I should have received it in 2008?? With the two paid in 2009 that should have been paid in 2008 ($488.25) and the two that were supposed to be paid in 2009 ($418.25).&nbs ...
MTSO Lost Huge Account Jul 17, 2010Small to medium-sized company lost a very large long-term client. Naturally, the MTs are to blame. Reason given was the work was out of turn around on weekends and MTs did not meet their commitments. I can't say what percentage of MTs did not meet their commitments. I do know that I always have. I also know that I have kept an accurate log of the work on this very large account and 75 to 90% of the time the work runs out on Sunday, with no work available on Mon ...
My MTSO Pretty Much Lost An Account.... Aug 12, 2014It was my secondary account and wasn't a bad one to do. The client got a new EMR that has them doing most, if not all, of the work on their end and very little, if any, left for us. I hope this isn't a sign of the times ahead for me. (Sigh) ...

Small-bowel Versus Small Bowel Jun 08, 2015I've always just used "small bowel," but then noticed most put "small-bowel," I assume to differentiate it as being part of the intestine as opposed to a small, or little bowel. Okay, that makes sense, so I stated hyphenating small-bowel. However, I just got marked off by QA for putting in a hyphen! No matter what you do or don't do, you're screwed! I do believe they just look for ways to antagonize so you'll never feel appreciated. ...

Losing Doc's To EMR, Help! Nov 16, 2012I have recently learned that I will be losing 3 of my best doctors to EMR. Since then, one of the doctors has offered to keep me on entering the clinic notes into the EMR for him. I would still be working from home as an IC, but would need some training on their EMR system. Any suggestions as to what I would charge for this? I currenlty bill by cpl. Would I now be better off to bill by the hour? I really have no idea how to approach this. I have never do ...
Losing My Job.... Jul 09, 2013I am seething with anger right now. I am losing my job of five years by the end of the week, not because of lack of work, not because my work is not up to par, but because the doctor I work for has just been brought up on charges of insurance fraud and perjury.
I have been working for an orthopedic surgeon as a medical claims reviewer who strictly does Independent Medical Examinations. There are six girls in one office and six girls in another office in a different location.&n ...

Losing My Touch Aug 07, 2012I hope it is okay. I just need to vent a little. I just got a new job with a very reputable company ( I prefer not to say which one) and yesterday was my first day. I knew I would be on 100% QA. I found out yesterday that I am only allowed to type 3 reports a day until I am off QA. I am so upset. I understand they have to make sure I am typing things accurately and according to format but 3 reports a day ? Then later this afternoon I heard from the big b ...
Am I Losing My Hearing Jun 17, 2013I invested in a "good" or what I thought was a "good" pair of headphones a while back. However, lately I have been struggling with dictators. It seems like more and more of them have mumbling, stumbling speech making it EXTREMELY difficult to interpret.
In a "perfect" world, our job would be soooo much easier and not having to struggle with them mumbling, whispering, holding conversations (or at least attempting to) while dictating, and on and on.

Scared Of Losing My Job To India Apr 14, 2010Has anyone else read this? Is it true that Nuance may get to buy Spheris? All their transcription is done in India .... so after dedicating 15 years of my career, it will all come to an end if Nuance takes over.

Why We Have Lost (are Losing) Are Jobs... Aug 02, 2011I just went to the CBAY India Facebook page - OMG - it will open your eyes even wider. Someone asked this "Rakhi" dude (he must be a suit or something) what to expect in the way of salary. No wonder MQ/CBAY wants us OUT:
Dear Rakhi,
An MT fresh out of training can expect a salary of 8-10 k. However, if he or she catches up fast, he can earn up to 18k including incentives.

Tired Of Losing Ground Aug 06, 2012I remember the good old days, when we actually made progress in our jobs ($$$, benefits, etc.).
Now, in addition to not getting paid holidays (unless you work them, of course), employers are prorating PTO pay. So...even if you get paid vacation time, you're not paid anywhere near what you make when you're working. I guess the idea is to make taking vacation so unaffordable that you don't dare take it. (?)
I netted less $200 for my 2-week vacation. That is ...
Losing My Job To Voice Recognition Jul 10, 2013Hello, I have never posted here before but need some advice please. I have had my own transcription business for 7+ years working for a group of providers who are employed by a clinic. I have had nothing but praise and appreciation shown over the years regarding my speed and quality of my work. However, regardless of the preferences of the providers, the clinic is forcing a switch to voice recognition to save money. They have told me it is due to nothing that I have done ...

Losing Faith In Humanity Mar 12, 2014I have seen so much written about MModal over the few years I have been a member of this board. About how it has "burnt transcription to the ground", how little they pay, how you never have work, your accounts are always empty, you are treated with disrespect. Then they throw you a bread crumb, and you trample each other to get it. It would seem like to me that now would be the time to say "NO, you will tell us the pay before we test. You will tell us the terms of the pos ...
Battling The Blanks And Losing. Jul 19, 2014Again, around 30% of documents with blanks - about my usual reported average. 99% of those documents were due to sound issues and undocumented physician names (not allowed to spell phonetically according to CPs). Again, Shaw, the blanks are not my fault and out of my control. Now, if they would fix the audio issues, I could cut way down on my blanks. I am fed up with the sound issues, which happen to be from 1 facility, and sending document numbers to my TSM as they occur. Doubt she will ge ...
