Not if you are working 2nd or 3rd. The day is the gravy. On late shifts you get the CT's, MRI's, vascular studies, residents. I was on first and thought and running out of work constantly and I asked if 2nd is better, they said yes, but still run out and get the very long reports. I made more on 1st shift even with running out of work. I cannot go back to days. I could kick myself!! They were not honest with me, surprise, surprise!!
Well, another job bites the dust! After working for the same MTSO for 5 years, she just notified us that our job will be ending at the end of the month. The hospital did not renew our contract and signed with M Modal instead. The same exact thing happened to me after working for another MTSO for four years prior to this one. All the little guys are getting swallowed up by the big nationals, it seems.
So, now I get to search for another job (sigh). I've got 8+ ...
For the past few months, M-Modal has been trying to get me to contact them. When I originally applied and tested for them, they said I failed. (I have 25+ years in radiology ONLY, including QA). Now suddenly they are chasing me. My question to all M-Modal radiology MT's is - would this be worth looking into? I have read this board, but not much is mentioned, if anything, about the radiology accounts. Any and all info would be appreciated before I decide on my c ...
Can anybody comment on whether there is steady work or not? I was told they have plenty of radiology accounts to keep me busy nonstop any hours of the day. ...
Hey, I was wondering if anyone online now has ever used the Lanier Ovation system for Radiology transcription (Keystrokes)? Is it user-friendly. Can you be productive with it? Thanks! ...
Hi, I applied for a job at MModal. I am only looking for part-time work to help supplement some of my income. I also work for another company subcontracting. Can anyone tell me what to expect as far as how they contact you, how long, etc.? Thanks in advance. ...
very long reports coming in about 10 minutes before we are about to finish for the day, which will force us to either do, causing us to stay over, or opt out of, which will leave time which we then will have to make up at their approval. There's always torture involved with just doing our job. It's like industrial terrorism.

After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...
I am going for an interview for an editing position with a transcription company who outsources overseas. Can anyone tell me what to expect for pay? - Thanks, SL ...
These MTSOs just expect way too much out of someone just APPLYING for a job these days that it has caused me to not even apply anymore. I need work, but I suppose I don't need it enough to be willing to jump through all of the hoops that they require. The MT testing site has been aggravating enough, to take so much time on a test, not even knowing if you will get a call back, even if you DO pass. Lately, like the past 3 jobs I have looked into, their testing process was IN ...
Over the 6 years I've been with them, have only gotten a half-penny/line raise once! That was after the first year...never again since and my accuracy has been above the required 98%, usually 100%....GREEDY COMPANY! ...
I just set up an interview for an in-house job. Problem is, I've only worked from home, so I'm really not sure what to expect. It is for a rural hospital district. My experience is with medium to large multispecialty clinic accounts. The HM manager said it was transcription, including radiology, as well as acting as assistant to her, which makes me think it might be more clerk work than transcription.
I'm wondering if there are any questions I should ask m ...
1. Expect to feel proud of your career choice again.
2. Expect your family and friends to be proud of you for no longer being exploited the way you are.
3. Expect to enjoy going to work every day.
4. Expect to be able to pay your bills on time and even have a little left over to do whatever you want with.
5. Expect to feel a sense of security in knowing that you will be able to take care of yourself.
6. Expect to make some new friends and even have someone to share your mealtime with.
7. E ...
How can one company expect an IC to be full-time? Isn't this a contradiction? I mean, how can you be an IC and work for only one company? Or, does this mean that you should have more than one job and work more than full-time? ...
I am trying to learn a new clinic account and find little to no work. I can't even come close to getting my minimum line requirement of 1,200 daily. How long does the holiday slump generally last? ...
Sometimes I wonder with companies who pay an MT less while they are on full QA, if they don't simply keep that MT on QA for as long as possible to avoid paying the higher rate. Has anyone ever pressed the QA issue? ...
I have worked for the same service for over 4 years. I am an IC MT. I feel I deserve an increase. I asked for one at the end of my first year and was told the economy was bad....blah, blah. Ok, I understood that but now I feel I have earned an increase. Yes, I realize that many feel an IC should just inform the service of their increase. I know that would not fly with this service. They could care less if you work for them or not. Theyhave a "we wi ...
I like how CCM says that we need to work extra to make up for the downtime. Uh..I do have a life outside of Mmodal. Not my fault the system is down day after day. ...
What a flippin joke. Didnt Amy say she was going to keep us in 1 account????
OMG, I have done evey account in my BOB this morning as well as some other Bob.
I cant keep my head on straight anymore. It is spinning like a top. My production is down to minimum and I am at risk of being fired for not meeting production because some idiot decides to open the cesspool!
GO CCMs! GET YOUR 100% TAT... SCREW THE REST OF US. ...
I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...
