I have started training on an account over in the UK. Has anybody else been transferred to an overseas hospital?
Company or accts? - JustCurious

Do you mean you're working for MModal UK or you're transcribing accts dictated in the UK? I've heard that some MTs were transferred to MModal Canada. This is getting interesting!

I love British accents but sometimes have to turn on subtitles for movies so I can understand them if they have a really strong accent. Keep us posted on what you think of their dictation styles.
So far this account sucks. - mom2huskies

The way they have things set up I am lucky if I am able to look up a prior report. Also the way the ADT is set up is weird. I wonder if it is Shaw's idea for us to do work from other countries now.
What about grammar rules, do you have to use - English grammar rather than American? NM
Okay, this is the second time while on this board (I only frequent it about twice a month) that I have come across "80% MT work being sent overseas". Could someone please fill me in (you can email me if you think it will be erased on here).
Thank you so much! ...
I was reading below about the TAA. I have less and less work. I have had NJA all this week, never ran out at this time of year before. Last time they blamed it on the storms on the East Coast. My pay is continually going down, especially after the previous pay decrease, and now NJA.
My question is how do I know if my accounts are going oversease, and this is why I am out of work to apply for TAA.
Thanks for any help. ...
<sigh> With the USA going down the toilet fast (see Military Detention Act), I fleetingly thought about pursuing something overseas.
I used to work with a lady who took a position in Saudi, Arabia. They paid to move her over there (into a dorm-type building with other MTs), where she lived for a year or two. She was subjected to incredibly sexist treatment by the Arab men BUT loved it there and wound up marrying an American she met while there. Of course, ...
Does anyone know if you can work overseas for MQ/MM or whatever it is called? My husband is in the military stationed in Germany and I would like to move over there with him. Thanks for any help with this! ...
I just saw a comercial on TV last night that says Mitt Romney outsouced to call centers overseas. That really upsets me and I for one will remember that when I go to the polls. I am shocked and apalled. He must need educated on the fact that Americans jobs are going overseas. ...
Am skeptical of the 8cpl they SAY for straight typing...and most MTSOs nowadays have very little stright typing. This MAY be a comeon for one thinking they can make up for the 3cpl. You cannot live on 3cpl. Complicate that with all ESL dictators and then to have to pay taxes. Welcome to slave labor. ...
I was talking with some of my fellow MQians and the repository came up. Some people think that the repository was made so that the Indian workers can better understand their jobs. Now that I think of it I believe that is it so. What do you guys think? ...
I really need to get out of the MT profession. I am a newly single mom and am making less money as an MT than I was 5 years ago. I just cannot afford to do this anymore. I always see coding jobs posted at my local hospital. Do you think these jobs will be sent overseas just like transcription? I am thinking of going into nursing but don't know yet. What would be a good healthcare career to get into? ...
How can any company be compliant with HITECH/HIPPA when they send work overseas. Isn't that a HIPPA violation and should the patient be notified that their personal information, diagnoses, history, SS#, in some cases home address, DOB, etc, is sometimes mentioned in reports and overseas MTs have access to it? How can any company be compliant, especially with HITECH be compliant with these new laws, regulations, etc, when the patient is not aware their information is accessed overseas ...
Hello all, my question is this: my husband was just deployed overseas to Europe for a year and I hope to join him. The hospital I work for uses the DocQManage platform from Medquist. Does anyone have any experience with working overseas on the platform? I have asked my HR Department about working overseas and have yet to hear an answer from them. Thanks in advance! ...
I've tried finding this info on my own but can't seem to locate it on any reputable/trusthworthy site. What percentage of the MT/MLS jobs is sent overseas? I'm only asking because I was "bought" by them a short while ago and have recently purchased a house. When I was "bought" by MQ, all of my work went to India or somewhere unknown. My QA scores were always 99% to 100%, I could breeze through the line count w/ no problem, and I had a team lead I liked, so ...
Why the talk about our jobs being outsourced to India? Is this actually happening now?? I've been away from the business for a couple of years, but when I left it, everyone was very against outsourcing oversears. ...
Go to reddit.com and paste in the search box on the right:
Americans, how do you feel about your medical records being composed overseas in such places as India or Pakistan? ...
Its like my group/team has almost ceased to exist. There is only work in the late afternoon up through the evening and then poof, its gone. We were told that a lot of it went off-shore, but now struggling to learn new accounts and its taking a toll on production and I am having to send more to QA. Anyone else experiencing this? ...
Here's a different sort of question. My husband has a dream of relocating to England. His company has an office there, so work for him might not be an issue. Now, this may not come to fruition, (or if it does it might not be for years down the road), but I was wondering if anyone knows if American coders get hired in the British medical system? I'm currently in school and not yet certified. I'm just curious to know if anyone has come across this. ...
Company I worked for recently outsourced us to Nuance, and now I'm wondering what the likelihood is that they will, in turn, outsource our entire account overseas? Do they pay less to their people who work overseas? Something's in the air recently - just in the past week or 2 - among me and some others on our account, and it just seems weird. We're getting harrassed more, we're getting more major errors marked BY FAR than previously, and some have even been threatened with be ...
I just spent the last 40 minutes on the phone trying to update my husband's old Net 10 cell phone to a newer model for his birthday. All I wanted to do was to keep his current cell phone number and have both it and his remaining almost 500 minutes switched to the new phone. Should be a problem, right? WRONG!!! Obviously the CS person was overseas, most likely India. She kept having computer problems and kept putting me on hold. Finally after much frustration an ...
gotta be honest, i despise medical transcription - booorrrrring - BUT i still want to work at home. i know coding/billing probably isn't any more interesting, but because i still want to work at home, i'm considering learning it. does anyone have any knowledge and/or experience with it? if so, is it, too, also going overseas? are there any work at home jobs that are not going overseas? ...

Mysore, August 11, 2014 – M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation services and Speech Understanding™ solutions, today announced it has expanded its existing facility in Mysore. The company has set aggressive hiring plans to ramp-up the center’s headcount ...
My company has begun, one by one, sending accounts overseas. We only have one account left being typed by those of us in the US, and I imagine that one is going over there soon. They lie to us about where the work is going or tell us that there's just not a lot coming in. But MT's can go into each job typed and also see the amount of work coming in. It's obvious that the jobs are now being typed by people whose first language is not English. I'm ...
What a flippin joke. Didnt Amy say she was going to keep us in 1 account????
OMG, I have done evey account in my BOB this morning as well as some other Bob.
I cant keep my head on straight anymore. It is spinning like a top. My production is down to minimum and I am at risk of being fired for not meeting production because some idiot decides to open the cesspool!
GO CCMs! GET YOUR 100% TAT... SCREW THE REST OF US. ...
.... I read notes below to this effect. Oh, and don't forget to NOT count QC lines and scores when you calculate your QA score on FIESA.
...or just ignore it altogether.
...
So, I am trying to research per line rates in my area, and no one seems willing to open up about their rates. I have spoken with one woman from a local company who told me to give it up as I more than likely will never land an account and work for other established companies, also stating that I am not hiring right now, but you are more than welcome to submit your information. I replied stating to her that I am not a newbie as you say, I have been in this field since 2007, and wish to acquire my ...
Once i get used to the dictators and names, is it possible to reach the same production as when I was doing ops? I have access to prior reports, so that's helpful. I know I need to tweak my glossary to include more non-op terms.
Any other productivity tips to make a non-op account super productive? ...
I am not sure if this is going on with your accounts, but I have noticed on my primary that there are a lot of old reports in there, from days and days ago. A few weeks back my team leader said ignore those TAT times because they were pulling old stuff for "training." It started with DS, and now I notice that there are old H&Ps and Consults in there. So I am wondering if they are training Transcend employees to do my account, maybe VR, or I guess it could be the hospital tr ...
