I have been working as an IC for many years, acute care, .10/line and usually can do 200 lines/hour. In 2 weeks the hospital is giving their transcription to Medquist!!! I have a phone interview scheduled for Thurs. but am having serious doubts about going through with this. I have no idea of the pay rate, benefits, etc., and all these comments about QA are really turning me off. If I have a blank all I have to do is send it to my supervisor and if she cannot figure ...
It is truly laughable that MQ expects US MTs to jump through hoops, passing their tests, audits, trying to decipher absolute garbage and paying us like we were 6 month trainees, etc., and then have the audacity to send work to India. I hope MQ gets its due for all the grief they have caused and their role in the demise of this industry! If Verizon were to put them out of business, that would definitely be what they deserve. ...
Does anyone work for FutureNet ?? Or worked there in the past on ESL accounts? How was the test? How are the ESL accounts? Incredibly awful dictators??Thanks! ...
How are you supposed to know whether to put the headings and text on the same line or put the text on the line under the heading, put a colon after heading or not put a colon? They said they go by BOS, but all I see pertaining to that in the BOS is the sample reports where they put the text under the heading with no colons after the heading. I guess I'll just do it that way. ...
I am hoping someone can help me out with this question. I am a single mother with a 3 and 6 year old. I recently resigned from my job due to management. I also got accepted to school that starts in Aug. I have done medical transcription for over 4 years, but currently not the last two years. I was working for a corporation and management there were all for sabotaging people. Since I have left my job, I knew that I could always come back to transcribing. I am taking tests to only find out, I didn ...
How many of you think that testing to get an MT job absolutely ridiculous? When you apply to these so-called medical transcription companies, you send them your resume which I am sure highlights not only your experience, but also your education that you paid good money for and worked hard to obtain. Yet, they still make you take a test. Have you realized that the tests are designed for you to fail? Your whole future is based on one test. Your experience and you ...
Hello,
I am a former MT hoping to transition over into medical coding. I have been unemployed since 01/2014. I'm looking for someone that can help me out. I've researched AHIMAs website about the requirements for obtaining the CCS certification.
My question is: Can I apply and take the CCS exam during my final class in coding?
I have applied for my medical coding certificate and will complete class in 3 months. The website states the requirements are (completed) coursework or work e ...
Hi,
I have been with the same company since I started this type of work but need to go elsewhere now. I have no idea what to expect with testing. Can someone tell me what it's like? TY (I am nervous!) ...
Why are the tests for some of these companies awful? Pitiful platform, unable to use foot pedal, etc. By the time you get the dang thing figured out your time is up. I am just frustrated with the entire process...... I am going to apply at Wal-Mart! ...
I was wondering if someone can give me the email address of human resources. I used to work for Medquist and I left due to not having any work about a year ago. I am looking at contacting someone someone in HR to see if I could possibly work for them again if possible. Thanks ...
Yes, I know, THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND NEED TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND ACCEPT CHANGE! That is why I am getting out of this profession and going back to school.

How long did it take you to get up and running with the Q? Why are they hiring? I have been asked twice to test with them, but I always see NJA on this board! Do you have plenty of work since you started, and how long has that been?
I don't want to go through the testing and hiring process and then sit there with no work available. ...
I work for Spheris but was bought out by Medquist and I was wondering if anyone knows their cpl on TR and SR. I have 2-1/2 years experience with Spheris. THANKS! ...
synchronize text with speech/speech with text? I tried ctrl+M and ctrl+shift+M and nothing happens. What trick am I missing? I am trying to put yellow highlight in sync with the where I am at in the text on very long report. Thank you ...
Hi. I am new to MedQuist. Can people out there who do not hate the company please tell me if they have had a good experience or not? So far, I am worried that I will not be able to make decent money, but I am hoping that when my speed improves, that will not be the case. I have many, many years of experience, so that is not the issue. Sound quality seems to be a problem, and I am finding that editing takes an inordinate amount of time. I am a fast typist, so I ...
I currently work for a company that pays pretty much the same as Medquist. I hardly have to deal with ESL docs and if I work my butt off I can make some decent money. I'm very reluctant to quit my current job and work for Medquist after reading some of these posts. I have no idea what kind of account Medquist is going to assign me to which has me nervous. Also I'm about to be a single mom and I'm very worried about making the wrong decision. ...
Good afternoon all. I left for SoCal in early August to care for an elderly family member and let my supervisor know about 3 weeks in advance but never heard a word from her. I was flex-part-time. We got back to NC about 3 weeks ago, and I'm going nuts trying to find a job. Would you believe I received a termination notice in late October after not having worked August, September, or October? What took them so long?
I was going to ask if anything had imp ...
If I ran MedQuist:
Pay Rate: No Tier 1, 2, 3. All MQ MTs would have to be Tier 3 and paid as such. Starting off at 9cpl with cost of living increases. ASR rate would be paid 25% less MT rate. 25%!!!!!!!
Minimums: Minimums will be set up at $$ amount each day, ASR or MT lines, daily minimum must me met at least 4/5 days worked and will be set at $100.00 (based on the new pay rate would be doable).
Incentive: Absolutely floors me this is a p ...
I want everyone to think about what Medquist is doing. It does not matter what your job is for this company, they are systematically getting rid of the US employees because it comes down to the almighty dollar for this company. It is not a US based company, the upper echelon is India. This company sold out to its US workers long ago. Shame on Medquist, but that is what they did. It will not matter if we stay or go, they will be fine. What each of us has ...
For once again proving to me how idiotic your polices and practices are. Heads up to all those who recently left the Q employment. Be wary of your exit interview. I received a phone call from a Private No., which I foolishly answered. Someone, who first off, I had trouble understanding, asked a gazillon questions, mostly YES or NO answers, or a Good, Satisfactory, Very Satisfactory, etc., to rate the company and my employment. Naturally assuming (when I heard the word Medquist), that it was ...
