That is not the case with everyone not notified....I have a friend who contacted HR a few minutes ago to see if there was still a chance since she had not yet received a rejection email and the reply from HR was the rejection email....so apparently some are on a wait list and some are just sitting here waiting and still hoping because Mmodal just hasn't gotten around to letting them know anything....

I am neither waiting nor hoping. - anon

I highly doubt anyone turns it down. Desperation will make even those who have doubts go for it anyway.

I have heard nothing and have better things to do than worry about it at this point.

Yes this is true of me too - anon

Last night I wrote the person who sent out the information for the tests and very politely mentioned that I had noticed some people had received their rejection/acceptance notices but I hadn't received either and would be grateful for any information. As a response she sent me a rejection notice. So if you're looking for closure, you can always write to her and I'm sure they will be happy to "formally" reject the rest of you, LOL.

If it wasn't so sad and pathetic, it might be hilariously funny. No other company ON EARTH handles rejections this way. NONE.

As a side note, I accepted a position this morning with one of MModal's biggest competitors. Their careless decision not to notify most of us about the Coding program sealed that little deal for me and drew the line in the sand for me as an employee. I start the other company in 2 weeks. The best part? A 99% QA requirement AND quarterly bonus for both QA and production. No more RIDICULOUS unobtainable 99.7% requirement, or working for a company that requires more excellence of its employees than it does of its own self.

The bankruptcy issue was bad enough by itself but after this Coding fiasco something inside of me clicked. It's sort of like, the moment when you realize you're totally DONE with a bad relationship - absolutely nothing they ever do will ever make this right or fix all the things that are broken. That's where my mind is today. I'M DONE.

Good for you!!! - Anon

I'm so happy for you and wish you much luck with your new company!! I know you must feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
I've had the same feeling all day. This is the last straw and it's time to walk away from this company! The stress is killing me and I've been depressed and anxious for months over this job. Even my husband told me this morning that he's tired of this and wants me to just quit even though things will be very tight until I find something else.
It's time to walk away...

Good for you. What company did you go with... - sm

sounds good with the lower QA requirement and bonuses.

yeah im sure she is talking about Nuance - you couldnt pay me enough to work there

[ In Reply To ..]
oh the horror stories....

I worked at Nuance for 2 very horrible years - bubble burster

[ In Reply To ..]
I had 5 supervisors in that time frame and all but one of them were just awful. Ignore e-mails, rejected PTO, never approved for a single holiday off.

But that was nothing compared to the nightmare of FIESA. Those bonuses never happen. 99.7% QA score at MModal is 1000 times easier to achieve than a 99% at Nuance. They are BRUTAL.

I get 100% audits at MModal, at Nuance I was getting 97-98%. That should be a clue.

I know MModal is truly awful but Nuance, believe it or not, is actually worse. Although they are not Bankrupt so they have the advantage there.

Ditto. I REALLY hope she is not talking Nuance. - What a nightmare.

[ In Reply To ..]
Believe it or not, MModal is a better place than that hellhole. Been there, done that, and you'd have to pay me a CEO level salary to do it again.

Ha, I sent my resume out this morning too. - Rats fleeing the sinking ship. NM

Got the same thing too! - Anon

I was wondering if the rejection letter said "waitlist" or if it was just plain rejection. At least we have SOME hope!

Rejection - Anon

[ In Reply To ..]
It didn't say anything about a wait list :(

Waiting list hoping someone turns down their - spot after orientation.

You say someone - reject

[ In Reply To ..]
You may be number 10 on the wait list! Did they say you will be the first replacement?

So basically a backup stock of warm bodies - Typical MModal.

I just received notice that my line rate is decreasing 1 cpl. A year and a half ago it had dropped 1 cpl also... and all as an IC. This will hurt. But what to do? I will stay as it is good work, good management, I know most of the accounts.... some are buggers though.. Only 7-1/2 years until I can retire to at least part time... hope I can survive until then. No way can I put in anymore hours than I already am. I am hoping for an after-school babysitting job ...

After weeks and weeks of research, and reading tons of forums and reviews, speaking to advisors at on-line colleges, receiving multiple packets by mail, etc..... I believe Career Step's medical coding program or AHIMA would be the BEST possible option for anyone trying to break into this field from home, learning at their own pace and the best affordability. Please does anyone here beg to differ? I am looking for constructive criticism as well as any positives on these two o ...

Hey Everyone! I'm sure these questions have been asked a thousand times but I'm unsure of how to navigate this forum to find answers. So here's the skinny. I'm a recent graduate of Cometology school and I'm having a very hard time finding employment due to my own poor timing. We are military and my husband is due for orders in about 8 months. So I've been looking into Medical Transcription and Editing with hopes that I would be able to take m ...

For those of us who have found ourselves as Nuance employees by virtue of company buyouts, hospital outsourcing, or something other than traditional methods of job hunting, we have all suffered a major life loss, loss of income, loss of security, loss of self-esteem, loss of pride in work, and on and on and on. And, certainly in my case, representatives of Nuance told half-truths, made promises that could never be achieved, and decieved me, leading me into a miserable situation. There is ...

I used Schedule Source for about a year when they were testing it. It's one of those "benefits" they keep talking about. The problem is, if you swap you will be in somebody else's cesspool - getting unfamiliar accounts for which you have to read maybe multiple CPs and get reports where you may have to leave QA markers and spend extra time researching. It's also a mechanism for MTs to dump shifts where they know they will get a specific crummy account/dictat ...

Now we know how they feel about us with their new and exciting contest - Biggest LOSER contest. (Of course a correction was sent out so it now reads biggest producer, but the first e-mail tells it all.)

The truth is KS is being sued for not paying overtime. KS does not have time records and that is why it is being implemented now. I myself know overtime pay was not offered for anyone taking extra hours on my account. I also have e-mails to that effect. KS has not always paid overtime and if it was given it was to a select few or favorites. At one time gift cards were being given in lieu of overtime on certain accounts, which does not make up for the overtime m ...

The taped call has been released and while the information about the pay rate was not entirely inaccurate, it left out the rest of the story. Graduate/Radiology 0.0750/0.0375 (0.0425 on some platforms) Clinic 0.08/0.04 (0.0850/0.0450 on some platforms) Acute 0.0850/0.0413 (0.0875/0.0463 on some platforms) Incentive is based on QA/QC and production (tiered production and 99% which is what I was told when I was hired) but is biweekly instead of quarterly. ...

Actually, several truths about Precyse that current or prospective employees should be aware of: 1. Recently, an entire group of employees was laid off who had been there for years and had been great employees. I was one of these people. The official company line is something like "Processes have become so efficient that we no longer need nearly as much staffing as we have had in the past." The truth is that the company is pushing to move all work over 2 hour TAT to Indi ...

I have worked for 20+ years with two companies and had good reviews and made good money. No problems with meeting production. Left one of the big 2 companies last January after pay cuts, nothing nasty, I just kindly and sincerely expressed my opinion why I was leaving. Since then I've applied with 3 or 4 other companies, was told by one I was on *do not hire list*, but was never given a reason why. Is there something I can do here? I'm a good employee and ...

I've been coming here for years. For many years it was only the poorly trained MTs who complained about not doing well. Anyone who had good training and good skills, sometimes learned on the job, which isn't practical now, but good skills at any rate, did well. The times have changed. While I used to categorize the complainers as neer-do-wells because they lacked ambition, accuracy, and training, that just isn't the case anymore. The employers have beat MTs down so that they can ...

One can feel so beaten up and degraded. So much to know and for so little pay. Doc's get things to go faster and their pay is not cut. Difficult dictators don't have to take a pay cut, yet we get a cut in production and a cut in QA if we don't understand them. Are the docs even aware of Account Specifics? If transcription departments are not in-house any longer, who is making the picky rules? If you cannot put qhs, then why doesn� ...

I have the knowhow, just not the creativity. Although I'm just probably being hopeful/optimistic, I think if more regular folks know where there medical records are going, the errors that are allowed to get by, and who sees all their personal information, that things would change. In reality, I know this would not make a smidge of difference. Everything is controlled by corporations with no standards and money these days. They all have enough money to just w ...

Nuance is first and foremost a software company that depends upon poorly paid MTs to do the work of software engineers to perfect speech recognition software. By pretending to be a legitimate MTSO, they can recruit innocent MTs straight out of school who have no expectations of being self-sufficient any time soon. They use you, though, until the speech wreck is in passable condition for front-end EHR or shipment off to India. Once this occurs, usually 6 to 8 weeks after acquisition of the accoun ...

I've been considering getting into the MT field, and I emailed my Career Step academic advisor last week to ask him what he thought about the future of MT. Here was his response: ********** Thanks for the email. I understand your concern about the future of the industry. The rumors that Medical Transcription is going to be phased out in the future are not new. We’ve been hearing such talk for over 20 years now, and the opposite has proven true thus far.& ...
