M-Modal Radiology question - sm - anon

Posted: Aug 29, 2012

For the past few months, M-Modal has been trying to get me to contact them. When I originally applied and tested for them, they said I failed. (I have 25+ years in radiology ONLY, including QA). Now suddenly they are chasing me. My question to all M-Modal radiology MT's is - would this be worth looking into? I have read this board, but not much is mentioned, if anything, about the radiology accounts. Any and all info would be appreciated before I decide on my course of action. Thank you for your honest answers.

Ok, this is secondhand. But my very close friend just resigned her radiology job with MModal. She has only worked for them for a couple of months, but she packed everything up and shipped it back to them. She said it was a nightmare with offshoring a lot of the good work, cherry picking, being left with the bad dictators, etc. Again, it's secondhand information but she's a good transcriptionist and I find her info reliable.

I work rad for them now and there is not enough work so I would stay away if I were you.

Been with MQ for almost 7 years. Radiology. Right now all my accounts are in the process of going SR. I am losing major money. My pay keeps going down. Year after year.

I may be going PT here to get another FT job.

Why do I stay? Afraid of change! Don't get stuck like me. Keep it moving friend!!!

I hope I'm not too late in answering this. I have been with Mmodal, formerly Medquist, for what seems like forever but actually only about 3 years. I am a radiology transcriptionist whom they cannot seem to keep busy despite adding accounts to my queue. In fact, I'm on here in the middle of my shift because there is no work! Don't know why they're wanting to hire more as they can hardly keep the ones they have busy enough to make enough money to live on. Benefits are so-so. Pay rate is less than average (although they will tell you it is the industry wide median). 3 strikes, they're out. Again, stay away!

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess.

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour.

Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...

I realize it varies depending on where you live - but not by that much, I think.

No guarantee I'll even called for interview much less get the job, but I'm curious if the hospitals tend to pay by the hour or by page, etc. The benefits are incredible and that is the rea ...
