bogus jobs - lioness


Posted: Aug 24, 2010

Why do bogus companies have help wanted when they are not even a company?  I applied for some of these and there is no such thing of this company anywhere. 

Phishing for personal info., possibly. Another good - reason NOT to send SS# with online application.

What happened to the job for Radiology Editor that was posted by Shady Acres Transcription? Was it indeed a bogus company, now that I have sent them all my info?

I did not remove their ad, apparently they did.

Never send your information to a company you cannot research and locate credible information on. You should know who you are sending your information to before sending it.

Please review the Posting Guidelines at the top of the Company page. There are many tips on protecting your information under that sticky note.

Bogus QA Processes
Feb 26, 2010

A little lesson here in statistics, probability and sampling that might surprise you, so stick with me like a mustard plaster. First, a couple of definitions: "Population" = all the things you want to measure, but can't measure directly, usually for practical reasons. The "population" of an MT's work in a month would consist of ALL the reports she transcribed. "Sample" = some subset of the population that you CAN measure in order to make a statistical inference about the popul ...


Bogus QA Corrections?
Mar 20, 2013

Three or four times in the last two days I have gotten one of those unfriendly FIESA MAJOR ERROR alerts . . . only, that's not my work. I know without a single doubt that I did not make those errors, and seemingly some of these so called 'errors,' would have been flagged by spellcheck. What's up with that? Offering rebuttal in their comment section is pointless, it's just a waste of time since no one really reviews those or sends any feedback. I'm just f ...


Bogus Errors?
May 05, 2014

Has anybody ever had the experience on the EditScript or other platforms with Nuance where you got feedback from Fiesa saying you made errors you didn't make-text either inserted or left out?  I have been charged with CPSE and major errors with random words stuck in places where I know I would've seen and corrected it but when they check the draft it's showing that I missed it.  Maybe I'm going crazy but some of those errors I'm almost positive I didn't ma ...


MedServe Is A Bogus Company....
Jan 18, 2010

I tested with them and she basically said I had the job at 9 cpl, but now has disappeared.  There is no transcription company named MedServe in the United States that I can find. ******* What a waste.  Stay far, far away. ******* DISCLAIMER ***************** Postings of this nature are the poster's personal opinion should not be considered as substantiated by MTStars.

I would so love to know  what this has cost them over the last 4 years of ridiculousness. I mean, really? They claim to want accuracy...check.  They claim to need employees that show up every day...check (despite major medical illnesses), and they say they want to be transparent in their pay plan/structures...  Yet they consume mid management man-hours designing scripts for doctors to read with purposeful inconsistencies for us to catch so that we can be fiesa'd straight off ...

Just Another Vent About Jobs, No Jobs, Requirement Of Jobs, Etc.
Aug 18, 2010

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment.  If an employer can PROMISE IN ...


Medical Jobs Online Posting On Jobs Board

Where Do I Find The Status Of Jobs And Number Of Jobs?

I tried entering my ID plus dep on the Fluency for Transcription page and it said my account was inactive.  Okay, so I tried twice with Remedy to get it reactivated.  Both times I got emails telling me it was working.  Tried again and no luck.  Am I on the right page, the one with the hideous orange splash, the same one we use to find our stats?  Any help appreciated, I really don't want to have to call tech support if I don't have to.  Do I even need to d ...


Will We All Be Out Of Jobs?
Dec 02, 2009

These eScription, Nuance, EMR, etc. posts are all very sobering.  Does anybody think that we'll all be out of jobs in 5 years, 3 years???  and will we be cut loose quickly or slowly phased out?  given enough notice?? etc.??   I think I'm getting to the point where working in a grocery store is starting to look more and more appealing.  The thing that contradicts all this is that most of the companies constantly beg for extra work, higher production, consis ...


Once And For All - There Are No Jobs!
Dec 20, 2009

On almost every thread somebody mentions their finances are in dire straights.  And on almost every thread somebody whose life is just peachy demands to know why they "let" their finances get shaky and why they didn't just "get another job before things got so bad".  We are not sitting around just wringing our hands, as is so often implied.  Many of us have been applying, constantly, for months; with more entering the job search every day, the competition gets harder and hard ...

EMR And MT Jobs
Mar 09, 2010

I recently changed my health care to Kaiser and have observed first hand and for the first time, the use of electronic medical records; they really are of immeasurable assistance to each provider who is treating the patient.  Nevertheless, there are still certain physicians who must dictate, i.e., surgeons, consultants, certain medical specialists.  There will undoubtedly be fewer jobs for MTs but there will still be jobs for those who can transcribe those reports.  It will a ...

Jobs Out There Not MT, Sm
Jul 24, 2010

I just ran into a local job already, MOWING GRASS.  The lady's lawn mowing man just finished school and is quitting the mowing.  She paid him $1400 last month to mow, run the weedeater, keep weeds out of the flowers, etc. ($25 an hour).  My husband does handyman work and is always being asked to mow or if he knows anyone.  He hates it.  I like it.  I think I just might take this on.  (Probably for less money, though.  She thought that was too much, b ...

MT Jobs !
Mar 09, 2011

So, I am about to finish a medical transcription certificate program through a community college. I have started going through these boards and I am starting to get nervous about job possibilities. Most postings are about how horrible the industry is and how impossible it is to get a job. I've been working on this for 2 years now and I'm starting to get nervous that it's been for, potentially, nothing. Any advice? ...


Here's Where Some Of Our Jobs Are Going -
Apr 22, 2011

For everyone who has had NJA lately (myself included) go to www.medquist.com and read this story on their front page " "Duke Primary Care eliminates transcription costs with SpeechQ." SpeechQ is the MQ program that eliminates the MT/editor altogether and MDs edit the reports themselves.  Duke Family Clinic alone is now doing 8,000 jobs PER WEEK this way, thereby eliminating our job from the whole picture.  What doesn't go to India goes to SpeechQ.  The writing is on th ...

I haven't been getting a second resevered job for quite some time and was wondering if I was the only one.  I have told my manager and she said she would fix it about 2 months ago.  It really stinks because after I complete a job it throws NJA at me.  If I let if search for jobs long enough it will find me one.  My manager said there is plenty of work and I shouldn't get that and I SHOULD get 2 jobs at once... but not yet I suppose. ...
