Completely confused about this latest merger - DazedNConfused


Posted: Jul 15, 2011

I'm utterly confused regarding this latest merger/acquisition/whatev of MQ of M*Modal.  I just accepted a position with an MTSO working on the M*Model platform.  Does the fact that the Q purchased M*Modal mean that down the road I will be working for MQ?  Does this mean that MQ just owns the rights to M*Model and now has the ability to charge the MTSOs obscene amounts of money to continue to use the platform?  Does this affect our positions as MTs who do work on M*Model and, if so, can anyone explain to me how?

I'm so doggoned confused by this latest development that I wasn't even sure if I should post this on the company board since so quite a few MTSOs seem to use M*Modal, on the Q board since they now apparently own M*Model, or on the Tech Help board. 

Feel free to move my thread if I'd put it on an incorrect board, Mod...

Thanks so anyone who can clear up this muddy mess for my simple little mind, LOL!

I am confused also. I was wondering if the MTSO I worked for using M*Modal would also be swallowed up by the Q. I would think maybe not in the short term, but in the long term, yes(!) as their tentacles spread forth to encompass anything in its path!

Completely Confused About
May 16, 2014

Can you qualify for that weekly based on, I guess the previous week? Or something? I got a very unusual surprise - MORE pay than I expected, rather than less (which is the usual), and realized somehow I had qualified for production even though I thought I was out, thinking that was a 3 month thing too, so wasn't even trying, just trying to get more lines since I had lost out, I thought, on all bonuses. So can someone confirm production bonus is based on last week's QA post audit - or ...


Completely Fed Up!
Jun 28, 2012

I am so sick of these dictations that are less than 60 seconds long, pay from .08 to .24 cents each that require 3 minutes of unpaid work to set up. This means I am only paid for one third of my time working, and that is if all their resource-hog software just happens to be working right without locking up or generation another error mesasage requiring another 5 minutes unpaid time to go through the "start ANOTHER IT ticket" process. I think out only hope is to keep filling letting their da ...

Remember, there is power in numbers so participate even if you are fearful and then reach out to me or someone else if they come after you or fire ...


Completely Demoralized
Nov 30, 2012

I am on a team that does editing only on one specific platform (although there are many versions of it).  We recently had schedule changes.  Prior to the schedule changes, I had work.  Now...not so much.  They DOUBLED the amount of editors on accounts that were already overstaffed.  I am completely and utterly disheartened by this.  I was, until this point, ready to stay with this company for as long as it took for them to work things out.  What a demoralizing ...

Completely Frazzled
Jul 25, 2013

Just need to vent.  Having a very, very bad day.  I have worked and worked to try to be a success at this job and now most days I just sit and cry while I type.  I am so overwhelmed by the horrible pay and only hearing from the email that more needs to be done.  More lines, less pay.  How sad for a job that should be considered very important in the health care role.  Thanks for listening. ...


OOW Is Getting Completely Ridiculous

Up to now, I have hardly ever run out of work but the last 2 weeks it has become steadily more and more and here I sit on a Tuesday morning with no work.  I hope to God we are not losing this account because it is an awesome account.  I cannot sit here and work all day as I have a second job that I work also.  This is truly killing me!!  Might as well go back to bed ...


Work Is Almost Completely Gone
Oct 16, 2014

I was trying to keep a positive outlook on a buy out and go with this company.  The account I've worked on for years is almost gone and it sure didn't take long since the takeover.  I know their pattern and how much work should be there.  I'm certain it's being "shipped out" you know where.  My Thursday was the busiest day of the week and has been for years.  So now I sit here looking for work and getting more disappointed each day.  Manager sai ...

SA3 Merger Problems

Anyone else in SA3 having problems with this merger?  My first job after we switched to the combined South area with a new log in # came up completed by someone else.  Called my manager and she said her phone is riinging off the hook with people telling her the same thing.  She does not know what the problem is, has to investigate. My CCM is great, I know she will inform us as soon as she knows, but in the meantime if these jobs keep coming up completed and all I do is upload ...

DTS/Transcend Merger
Mar 03, 2011

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago.  I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously.  While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here.  I will offer my advice.  Treat it like a death of a spouse.  Mourn your loss and look towards the future.  Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months.  Go with ...

Will I Be Able To Keep My Schedule With The Merger?
Mar 30, 2012

I guess this is just a question to those who have been part of a Nuance merger in the past.  Were you able to keep the schedule you were working before the merger, or were you herded into the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift spots?  I work split shift over two of them right now.  Anyone allowed to keep working M-F after a merger? I suppose I'm mainly wondering if I can continue to pick my own random schedule after the Trasncend merger is complete. ...

Imedx Merger
Jul 31, 2014

My company "merged" with Imedx several months ago.  Here is my question to those who have had their company merge with Imedx:  What happens if/when your account goes to India?  Does the account slowly phase out or is it just one day gone? Can I expect honesty about what is going on or will the higher ups just act like they are oblivious and they have no idea why that account suddenly dried up?    ...

Completely Lose My Rhythm When

Okay-- finally got a few jobs to do after hours of NJA. But I lost my rhythm. I don't even know what to do with them. I feel like a cat looking at some strange object on the floor and tapping it with its paw. What are those two weird things in my queue? I look at them. Then I check my email. Then I look at the things in the queue again. Then I go get something to drink. In the back of my mind, it seems like there is something I need to do about those things in my queue, but I can' ...

Medquist/M*Modal Merger
Jul 12, 2011

So now Medquist and M*Modal are merging. Wonder what this is going to mean for all of us working for companies that utilize M*Modal. Now I understand why WMX sold out to Nuance. Seems to me no one wants to hire Medquist because of their terrible quality so now they are swallowing up competitors platforms and bullying their way into accounts. They have already stopped allowing other companies to use their DocQScribe platform. Interested to know anyone else's thoughts. ...
