Medquist hiring for radiology... - radsthename

Posted: Nov 11, 2011

honestly from other radiology MTs that work at Medquist....is there really any work? Would I waste my time applying? TIA

MQ radiology - long ago MQer

I worked for the Q a few years ago - hired for radiology with acute care as secondary only and if we had no radiology work. It turns out that I was doing about 3 Rad reports a day and the rest was acute care. I lasted about 6 weeks there......it was horrible.

MQ Rad work wasn't there for me - Radiology MT CC

I worked for MQ a few years ago. I was hired specifically for radiology work. I was told there would be plenty of work, took weekend shift. Had about 1 hour of rad work on my first day, then nothing but acute care which I was told was all they had. That acute care was for ESL at a couple teaching hospitals. I did it for almost a year just to get the experience as I already had a FT rad job. It was not worth my time given the ESL and complete lack of QA feedback for blanks, etc. (I couldn't believe some of the things QA filled the blanks in with).Supervisor was nice, but always had the same story and blamed the recruiter for hiring for rad- she said she rarely had enough rad work for her long term rad MTs, certainly wouldn't have any for me being new on her team...Recruiter always kept saying she would find back up accounts for rad work, but never happened.

I work for MQ, but on Spheris accounts - And I have PLENTY of work

So if you are going to be working on Spheris accounts, I would say go for it. My Medquist accounts were all drying up fast. So glad my CCM at the time thought enough of me to move me, rather than just let me drown. Good luck!

Yeah...I was one of the Spheris folk - you replaced.

My QA scores were always w/in the limits, I hit my line counts consistently until my accounts went away one by one, and I did multiple specialties and was a tier 4. I'd love to know what you're making per line. Not giving you heck or anything, just wondering what I did to make me lose my standing after wk'ing there for 10-plus hrs until Q bought my soul.

Yes, again, this is just my opinion. Sue me.

Sorry to hear that. - NCMT

Not giving me heck? Hmmm, sounds like you are. But I won't take it personal. I was upset also when my favorite account went VR, and they didn't even bother to train me, just stopped sending me work, put me on accounts I didn't know, and expected me to still perform to the same level. I thought for a minute I was being pushed out the door. Then they moved me, and I just assumed it was another way to set me up to fail, thank goodness it wasn't. I am very happy. I thought all Radiology MTs were paid the same amount? Isn't that what that last e-mail was about? When everybody was upset because their pay got cut? Had I stayed at being paid per report, I would have lost .27 per report, so initially I was upset about being paid per line, but thank goodness I am, because my pay didn't change. Hope they never send me back to being paid by the report. Again, I am sorry to hear you got "replaced", but I'm grateful my situation improved, and sincerely hope I didn't "replace" you. I won't sue ya either (LOL).

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? ...
