To all those terminated I feel your pain. A year ago

Wow, what a day! We had our conference call today regarding our hospital outsourcing to M-Modal. I had come on this forum to ask honest and serious questions from former and/or current M-Modal MTs. I am very appreciative of the responses that I received which I believe were heartfelt since most of you had been through this before or are still going through it. I was able to at least voice my opinion today that I did not believe what M-Modal was saying would be what ...

I got the call this afternoon. Finished my shift, laid down for a nap and phone woke me up hour and 15 minutes later. She was reading a script in a dismal voice and obvious what was happening, but it dragged on and on. Managed to say ok... A little over 9 years. Life as my daughter and I know it just ended. Thank goodness!! Moving desk out of living room not a minute too soon and maybe years too late. ...

Your boat analogy is right on in every way. For those of us who have been in this business for a good while, it's hard to witness firsthand the continual degradation of what once was a viable and respected profession. And it gets me, because what we bring to the table hasn't changed. We're still highly educated people with a vast knowledge base and skills that should be recognized as being worth something. No one off the street would be able to do what we do. We're entru ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail) He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...

He is referring to premenstrual pain?? ...

Transcribing rheumatology - s/l closterpedic pain, posturopedic pain. Any ideas? Patient recently had shingles, if that helps. ...

Were you full time or part time? I see 120 LPH being mentioned. I have always had a requirement of 150 LPH for full time. Do you think they are targeting part timers? ...

Tried to check my work email, couldn't log in. Checked Ultipro and apparently I was TERMINATED???????????????? Who is going to pay my bills, my rent? Thanks a lot MMODAL ...

I've been working for MModal 2 years part-time. Other than the usual stuff, they've left me alone pretty much. Now all of a sudden I get an email saying one client complained I'm leaving too many blanks. Recently, I had about a week of horrible, scratchy, low volume dictations that were not even discernible in some places and I had to leave blanks. I think that's what they're referring to. Since then, I'm being audited every day, ...

through an email or did they at least have the decency to send you a letter or call? Or did you just try to start work and find yourself locked out of the system? I know they have to at least send you something telling you about COBRA if you had health insurance. I think my head is on the chopping block too, and part of me is really hoping that is the case. There once was a time when I would have just told them to go _____ themselves, turned on my heel and walked away w ...

I was so shocked to get my termination effective immediately and I did hear human resources would send me a letter but do you know what equipment needs to be returned. Just the computer or will they want the monitor, foot pedal, keyboard? I am sure this company will want it ALL back but forgot to ask. On the upside they pay you for the termination conference call. I always thought those terminated surely were not working their hours or had bad quality but I can assure you that is not the cas ...

Well, it looks like Nuance is starting to get what they want....giving out walking papers because of their "patient safety" bullshit. I was fired today because of their new metrics scheme and the QA pend percentage being above the minimum when 99.9% of my pends were MANDATORY pends, and because of crappy audio, VR that had to be deleted and started from scratch and dictators that don't know how to key in the right patient info and crappy dictators in general and me painstakingly suffe ...

Can anyone who took the Cobra insurance tell me how that works? Do you have to contact them to participate in it or do they contact you? They sent me a letter today that I am supposed to sign and return and it mentions I have 60 days to sign up, but no more info than that. Appreciate your sharing anything you know. ...

Anyone else just get terminated from TT with no notice? ...

Well after being put on 100% QA for 5 days, not passing an audit at 97.95% I was terminated today. This company is unbelievable. They not only knock you down, play with your mind daily, they set me up to fail, I told them about this doctor that I had critical erros on, that she was impossible to do, that I had sent all the work they sent me for her to QA after I did my best to try and get it done. But as I said I must of had 10 of her reports&nb ...

I got canned yesterday for not making over minimum wage. I meet over the minimum lines requirement, but still not enough for minimum wage for my state. We had also been running out of work a lot lately. I had one verbal warning over the phone a little over a month ago, no written warning, and no "performance management," and was scheduled for a mentoring session later this month...totally taken by surprise. I was hoping to hang on until retirement in 2 years, but with the drop in pay, increase i ...

Yes, got the call about a half hour ago. Guess I can collect now. I know others are being fired today too. Must say my TSM and QA were superb people and I know it is not their decision. I will come back and say more later but right now I need to settle down and think, take a long walk. There are other transcriptionist places I absolutely know will hire me, but I only want to work part time. This stinks. MModal is the most scrupulous, heartless, horribly ...

In 2005, I had been hired on by (then) MEDQUIST. It was wonderful. Started at 9.75 cents per character line, 65-word, plus spaces. They were 'glad' to get me. I sailed along year after year, and they seemed to like my work. NO COMPLAINTS. I worked hard, then received approval to work SUNDAY for 24 hours and Monday for 16 hours. This was tough, but I had to deal with weather/power issues, internet outage issues and enough work issues. I was working for a large acct for ...

How long did it take you to receive your last paycheck with the PTO. I saw it in ULTIPRO but not in my direct deposit? I was terminated Over 3 weeks ago????? I understand in my state, they have 6 days to send me my last paycheck. Should I contact the Dept of Labor in my state AGAIN???? ...

We can request a petition for Trade Adjustment Act assistance be filed against Webmedx because of the nature of this termination (reduction in force) and more than 3 MTs/QA were terminated. Each one of you who was terminated: 1. Immediately contact your state's Department of Workforce Services. (A) File an unemployment claim immediately. (B) Request that a TAA petition be filed. Use the Atlanta location (Corp Office) and Pittsburgh location (Opera ...

Well I'm the one that got terminated last week. I just got an e-mail I probably was not suppose to get. But the account I had been on for 3 weeks is now going to voice recognition in 2 weeks. I just wonder if they did not get rid of me to hire someone for pennies to work for them. Sounds Fish to me. I wonder if anyone else got terminated. ...

Is there any way to get unemployment out of this company? I am not meeting my lines per hour on ebtxt and don't know what to do. Apparently my hours did not match on Webclock and the system last week. We are getting emails every week stating make sure you check this or that including do ctr + alt + I to check the print, which will only do it for 1 page, so then we have to do it for each page. Also, check 3 pages in the AI sheet for each job, etc. I feel lik ...

That's the buzz on the other board. ...

It's 7 hours since being terminated and I have begun the dismantling of my office, sorting through e-files, papers, sticky notes, reminders, etc., gotta oil the shredder because it's gonna be working overtime (pun intended). After 26 years of working here in this room I have many emotions. I loved working at home for Secrephone and Medquist. MModal, however, is the worst, the worst management crew, no scruples, no morals, (just plain no brains), money-hungry execs loo ...

Tried to sign in for my shift tonight....CAN NOT SIGN IN is the message I received. Called DICTATE, he couldn't sign in for me either. I received no call, no email. Did not even get our thrice daily update on work volume....not looking good. Anyone else have this happen to them? ...

To all those terminated I feel your pain. A year ago - Not MM
