Any tier 1's out there? I'm curious if MQ is still hiring US tier 1 employees or if tier 1 means you're Indian?

Clinic work is the first to go to India and ASR editing.

I'm tier 1. Been with MQ since they acquired MRC out of Houston appr 1997-98.
Have you thought of tiering up? - TierTwoAndStayinThereOrMaybeNot

I've been asked to tier up, though haven't yet decided to say yes. Aren't you worried about limited experience with various reports, in case you lose your job? That would be my only reason for tiering up, if I do actually do it.

I can do tier 2 work and, in fact, was transcribing everything except op reports. Then they decided to put the tiers in place some years back and put me at tier 1 since we mostly did clinic work as primary. I have taken tier 2 test twice and missed it by very small margin. Got all of the objective portion but missed more than was acceptable on the transcription portion. I'm extremely diligent when transcribing. If I can't tell what is being said, I leave a blank So, for now I'll just stay at tier 1 & not try to test up again. My line rate at tier 1 is more than some tier 3s are paid from what I see on the MQ board, and with all the changes going on, it may be unwise to test up at this time.
Hello All,
Trying to find a list of types of jobs done by the diffient tier levels. Anyone have a list such as this or know where I can find one?
TIA (thanks in advance)

You can call yourself an MT and work for:
1. A single provider nonspecialist.
2. A multiprovider/multispeciality clinic.
3. A primary hospital.
4. A secondary hospital.
5. A TERTIARY hospital.
You can do "ops" with any of these jobs. However, at a tertiary hospital you will have patients who have failed treatment at primary and secondary hospitals. Tertiary hospitals are teaching and research institutions where you will encounter research p ...
I was just informed that I HAD to tier up. Has anybody else been told that one? I don't want to tier up. I don't get much NJA and I like the accounts I work on. I was told that I MIGHT get a raise if I did, but there was no guarantee. Why would I want to tier up without getting a raise doing the next tier's work? I just don't get it and I never will. ...
Do you type ALL work types, including tier 1 and tier 2, correct? My CCM implied that tier 3 does ONLY operative reports?? I'm tier 2 and I think I would like to try OP reports, as I've been tier 2 for quite a while. Don't want to NOT do consults and H&Ps though. Not expecting a raise of course, but would just like to try something different. And maybe get NJA less often. What do you all think?
If you do type all, what pe ...
This really sucks because those reports have the highest line counts, while Tier 3 does all the testing reports such as cardiology, eeg, cath reports, and surgeries.
While straight typing pay may be higher for Tier 3, everyone makes the same for VR.
My vent for the day. Sorry if I offended anyone. ...
Hi everyone. I am interested in tiering up to Tier 3. I understand there are practice tests and/or information I can read about tiering up. I can't figure out where to find it. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance. :) ...
What might be happening is MM is keeping high producing Tier 3 employees and India will get all the easier work. Tier 3's in America will do the hardest dictations and worst dictators. The MME's in America will then be correcting more work because India will be doing everything else. Just trying to figure out what is going on.
Also, I think MM had to do something about the no work situation, either get more accounts or layoffs. They decided layoffs.
Than ...
I hit the ceiling last week and quit after 12 years with MQ part-time. I started as a tier 3 and ended as a tier 3. Topped out. I was making close to $20/hr and ended at $10/hr thanks to ASR. My submission rate was apparently too high for them for Jan and Feb. Well, what do they expect? Shyte dictation equals shyte transcription, but I'll be damned if I am going to risk someone's life just to fill in a blank, and this was before they rolled out this "First ...
I work for another MTSO too that doesn't have the tier system. I get just whatever report comes into my job pool from clinic to ops. I've been at MQ for about 3 years now. CCM keeps wanting me to tier up to tier 3 so I can start doing the ops notes because we don't have enough 3s right now. However, I won't get a raise by tiering up. To me the only incentive to tier up would be more money.
After I told CCM that I wouldn ...
I despise even doing it at all but I want out of this place and I think having it will help my chances of finding a different job. Do you have to be Tier 3 or is that not even a consideration to ADHI?
On that note, are there any Tier 2's here who have their CMT? Do you actually get that so-called extra incentive at MQ for being one? I know some other companies offer an incentive. ...
Anyone have advice about taking the Tier 3 test? I know taking it won't mean much at MQ but it will mean something to me and I want to give it a try. The woman that gave me information about it said it can go into the next day. Does it really take that long? I work 2 jobs and am trying to figure out when to take it. The instructions for the test sound more difficult than the test itself. ...
Has anyone taken the tier 3 test for MQ or M*Modal, whatever we are called today? I am currently taking it and having trouble with 1 of the op reports! ...
I took the Tier 3 test and passed. I don't know what my actual score was, but I have a phone interview later this week, and I was wanting to get an idea of what to expect as far as working at M*Modal. I know they used to be MQ and I know there are many, MANY disgruntled current and former employees. Honestly, all I'm looking for in a company these days is regular, on-time paychecks, the average rate per line (0.08 or better), and steady work. I'm okay with ...
Please, someone let us know what the details of the the 6-tier bonus are. Also, for those who have been part of a Nuance buyout, how soon until their pay scale and bonus goes into effect? ...
Hello:
Can anyone tell me if there is a pay scale for each tier on the MModal MQCentral page? I cannot find anything.
I am interested in having some concrete evidence when I ask for a raise as I am a Tier III being paid at a Tier I level according to what I read on a previous post.
Thanks in advance!! ...
Has anybody ever passed the tier 2 test?? This is my second attempt at passing it and it seems impossible. You can't slow the transcription. You can't understand the words before and after the privacy tones. It's like they don't want you to pass, succeed, and reach a higher level. My regular work reports are easier to do than anything on that test, even the ESL doctors! ...
What determines tier 3 pay at .09 versus .10 per line for transcribing and .05 versus .06 for ASR?
How does one advance to higher pay within grade 3 tier at M*M? ...
Just wondering if it is worth it to test up to tier 3 or not. I wouldn't mind getting more in my work pool (especially as things have been a bit slim lately with the holidays), but had heard there was no pay increase for moving up a tier, plus was worried that I'd have to spend more time in research for the first while getting used to the new work, hence slow production down. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! ...
Hey everyone, I am in the process of applying for a home based MT position, but i am wondering what the difference is between Tier 2 & 3. Thanks so much for any assistance you all can offer! ...
This job has served me well for the purpose I intended. I was able to stay home with my kids while they were growing up and supplement the household income. Now, after being with this company since 1994, I don't want to tier up or become an MME. I just want to do my job and then forget about it. I am at the point now where I really want to retire as we don't need a supplemental income any longer. I see all these new "opportunities" at MM and I just don't care to ...
If you're 3rd tier and work fulltime (or meet the 1200/lines/day criteria), can somebody tell me what a person can expect per paycheck (if you're paid twice a month)? ...
