Work coming - MKH
Posted: Aug 08, 2012
a big chunk of work is coming back to the US. India couldn't figure Texas doctor's accent I guess!
oh can I do it please? - Drone
[ In Reply To ..]I'm Texas born and bred.
you think maybe they changed their contract to keep - work in US? Maybe they were
[ In Reply To ..]up for renewal and that was one of the terms and conditions.
work in us - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Not sure what you mean, but I saw an article last week in the newspaper regarding "insourcing." This is becoming a political issue. The article discussed the auto industry and technology industry manufacturing. I have also seen mentioned that jobs such as customer service are starting to come back to the US.
Heard even the US Olympic uniforms - were made in China
[ In Reply To ..]So sad.
I meant maybe the account was up for renewal of - their contract and
[ In Reply To ..]They made it clear in the contract that they did not want their work off-shored.
The group of accounts I work on is like that, only US MTs. All my accounts are to be strictly done in the US per client/customer request.
Only US MTs - Fedup MT
[ In Reply To ..]Hooray for your accounts! We need more people like this! STOP OUTSOURCING!
You mean offshoring, big difference. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]We wouldn't have this job if not for outsourcing. The hospital outsources their work to MModal who in turn sends it to us.
I think she knows that, we all get what she means. - nm

Send it this way --- Texas MT - I would think I had
[ In Reply To ..]died and gone to Heaven --- Bless their hearts :)
I betcha... - (see message)
[ In Reply To ..]....EVERY facility would request "all U.S. transcriptionists/editors" if they even knew their work was being off-shored! Who wouldn't??
My hospital outsourced their reports to an MTSO, and our jobs went with them. About 6 weeks later, the MTSO told us we were not to "share" with anyone at the hospital that the work would now be done by ASR! Of course, I'm willing to bet that the MTSO was still charging the hospital the same rate it would charge if it had been transcribed.
I find it hard to believe that they tell the hospitals, "Oh, by the way, your work is now going over to India, edited by them through ASR, but we're STILL going to charge you the same rate as if it was done by American MTs....it'll just be more profit for us!" And I find it hard to believe that all American hospitals wouldn't request that their work not be off-shored, if they only knew!

Keep Them Coming
May 12, 2011
I have posted on here many times about putting in requests to have doctors removed from ASR and have been told it doesn't do any good. Apparently some people are listening. I was told that they are flooded with requests now and it is taking a little longer to get to my requests reviewed. I have also noticed that some of the doctors I used to do in ASR are no longer in ASR. Thanks to all who are sending requests and keep them going. Some don't get removed, ...
QA/QC Changes Coming??
Dec 14, 2014
Sure hope so. QA are being set up to be the "Payroll Gods". Setting us against each other. I know there is one particular QA that I cringe when I see her name. She is probably a nice person and just trying to do her job, but talk about nit-picky. She has a Master's degree in that area. ...

Obama announced a new tax break for every new employee hired will get a 5,000 tax break and up to 500,000 total for each company who hires new employees. My congressman is going to hear from tomrrow when I call his office. You all know how MQ loves to hire new employees and I sure hope they do not plan on getting rid of us old ones and if they do? I see ANOTHER lawsuit coming called age discrimination. ...

I also make money typing papers for professional journals, and I really HATE dumbing myself down for MQ. and...I'm still getting broken jobs with terms like ...
How To Get Downtime Pay You Have Coming To You
Oct 07, 2010
Okay people, if you were in the middle of your shift, or you could not sign on for your shift, make sure you filed a Q-care ticket and notified your CCM. Mine has been sending E-mails throughout the day stating that she KNOWS that DQS is still down even though it shows a green light. By Medquists own Policy description for downtime for ME/MTs, this definitely qualifies. Go to MQ Central Home page---Human Resources---policies. At the bottom of the page there is a link call ...
Christmas Is Coming!!!!!

So what do you think we'll get as a Christmas present this year? A new mouse pad, an envelope opener, perhaps a pencil with the Medquist logo on it, an eraser maybe?

Oh wait, I forgot, there have never been even cost of living raises let alone merit raises. Oh wait, I forgot ...

Coming Across A Mistake
Aug 03, 2012
I was looking over already transcribed reports by others to check on a medication and came across a mistake that really makes us look foolish and is something, IMHO, that any transcriptionist would know and this doctor speaks good English. Would you notify QA so they can correct the report or notify the hospital to correct the report? Thanks for your opinion. ...

Edited to add that I currenlty have 6 years experience at MT. ...
Late In Coming, But,
Mar 03, 2014
apparently I was only employed by Nuance thru last December. Starting in January I was employed by Transcend. This is as per the state unemployment benefits office. They were really interested that my check stubs said Transcend/DBA as Nuance out of Mass., and the W2s only had Transcend out of Melbourne, Florida. Asked me questions about it, but told them I had never noticed when Transcend was added to the check stubs, which I didn't. Don't know anything ab ...

My Days At MQ May Finally Be Coming To An End!!!
Oct 30, 2010
The hospital 5 minutes from my home has an in house MT position available! Full time, Monday through Friday, first shift. I've been waiting forever for an in house position to come open there. My eyes nearly fell out of my head when I saw the listing! I've been trying for months to get another job...doing ANYTHING....to get away from this place. I love MT, but I was ready to walk away from it all together. If I can have an hourly, in house MT position, though, ...
More CMTs Coming From Off-shore
Dec 18, 2010
New CMT & RMT tests out, so off-shore will be teaching to the tests big time. This is going on in our industry and others; but savvy big companies are awake and tweaking certification testing to catch the problem; not sure ADHI is sophisticated enough for that. I am really NOT sure they WANT to address that issue. Watch the flood of new CMTs from off-shore...and what it does to availability of our jobs. (Yet there will be the re ...

New MT, Coming Up On 6 Months With Nuance

I have been having trouble with productivity from the beginning. My account is mostly ESL, so I feel like I shouldn't be having so much trouble here. However, I have a friend who is an MT and says that some of my speakers are really tough. She's been an MT for 10 years now and things usually come easy to her. Anyway, I'm concerned that if I don't get my lines up to where they need to be will they let me go? I'm working really hard to try to get my lines up and I ...
