Nuance compensation - Oldie but goodie

Posted: Jul 30, 2014

Any Nuance employees have any idea what the new compensation plan is going to be?

Did they state there was going to be a new - compensation plan?

Are the suits all "excited" about their new "competitive" changes? If so, that only means you will be paid much less than you are getting now. I'm guessing that they are probably lowering the cpl to 0.03 for VR across the board.

Special enhancements include benefits downgrade and salaries on par with the pariahs - Salaries increased if 100% QA through FIESA

.....but we all know how they cheat you on that.

The princess accounts changing platforms and going to India. Though that stay will have to work weekends, evenings, and nights.

New plan - anon

The new plan is to come up with more ways to take your money, explained by more corporate speak that no one can understand.

When N comes up with a new plan, it's never good for the MLS.

and don't you just love it when its explained to you - on a "conference call"

that is pre-recorded and you have no chance for Q & A during but are given the opportunity to submit questions via a form which will later be answered through a FAQ format in a mass emailing. Bunch of jokesters there.

New compensation plan? - uh oh

What are they doing? When is that happening? Doesn't sound good.

They have given us no idea. Since I came from another company that was bought out by Nuance I have lost at least $800 per month take home pay!!! I am so discouraged and disgusted with this "profession" anymore! I'm a top producer and still can barely make enough to pay all my bills :( All I can say is this new plan better be good - if I'm still around by the time they roll it out (October) - we shall see....

October changes - sm

I seem to remember being told of changes coming regarding Fiesa in October but didn't hear anything about any other changes. Did I miss something?

If you were swallowed up by - MModal,

be prepared for a pay cut and less bennies.

Where one leads, the other follows. - No competition anymore.

The name of the game is screw the MTs whichever way you can and become a millionaire in the process. Easy money off the MTs' sweat and stupidity!

October compensation - NoFan

I have noticed new headings in Fiesa that I think they are going use, Critical Dictator Errors and Blanks. So how this is being incorporated, who knows.....

Doubt it will be of benefit - Oldie but goodie

I kind of doubt the changes will be of benefit to the MTs. I try to stay positive, but it's hard sometimes especially when I remember how things were even 10 years ago!

When they use the phrase "exciting things" or words to that effect, I roll my eyes like Charlie Brown and think "Good grief, what next?"

No one ever said for sure if this compensation had been to offset insurance costs, MUP or whatever? I didn't get it and am curious why it was not across the board. They may have been caught with their pants down on this one. ...

Saw this today. Apparently CEO of Nuance, Paul Ricci, made around $29 million last year. Makes me sick that when I was there I was barely making minimum wage after being an MT for 15 years. The article talks about how he was compensated too much even though stocks were dropping. I think the more important point is how the MTs have been treated. THAT never reaches the article of course. http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/04/28/nuance-ceo-paul-ricci-tops-pay-among-massachusett ...

At Nuance, the caste system THRIVES. The deception of this company is criminal. For the last year, the QCs were required to meet the company standard metrics of 150+ LPH, quality of 99% or higher, schedule adherence of 99%. If you failed to meet any portion of the metrics one week, you received a verbal warning; two weeks, you were moved to the Performance Action Plan. On 5/4/2015, we received our individual QA Weekly Scorecard; we also received the QC Compensation Plan on the same day. With no ...

If this company would have given us the new Escription whereas we can make the same or better then that would be more understandable. I have several other friends (other mtsos) that make a very good living on Escription which our old CEO (now VP over all nuance transcription) promised us. To cut our pay before this happens to me is just unacceptable and in my opinion may have been somewhat misinformed perhaps just to keep us around with this slower program we are on now. So ...

Looks like they are feeling the impact of angry and/or exiting MTs. I got E-mail about the 99% used if no audits done and they are back tracking on that now. I heard they were going back on reducing some platforms by the 88%. That totally sucked for them to just throw that in as an afterthought. "Oh, by the way, we forgot to tell you...." I do appreciate that we got back the weekend differential, tiny though it may be. That is the ONLY good thing I can say. ...

I have read a few posts not only about the future compensation worries at Nuance for us "Webbers" but also mentioning the former CEO for Webmedx. I have worked for this man even before my Webmedx days. To me, he always seemed to have taken pride in his position as he talked about why he felt Webmedx was so successful due to low employee turn around and an open door policy in communication with same. Training was superb, the community page which enhanced employee recognition-data made many of us ...

This is their "official" statement I found about their wonderful platform and the ability of MTs to increase their compensation up to 100%!!! Wow!!! Spitting my coke all over the computer screen http://www.nuance.com/for-healthcare/resources/mt-compensation/index.htm ...

One company lists compensation as: "$1.06 per dictated minute & up depending on acute experience and operative report experience.." I've always been paid per line and am not familiar at all with this form of compensation.. Does anyone have any experience with this, and does it sounds okay? It's an IC position. Thanks. ...

Does anyone know how an MT is compensated when they begin using M*Modal and basically editing? If paid by the line, if M*Modal creates a report consiisting of 75 lines, and you edit a few lines here and there, are you paid for the entire report (the full 75 lines) or just paid for what lines you edit? ...

As you transition to Nuance, you will have training jobs going to QC. This will count against your QC percentage and affect your ability to earn any increased increment in line rate based on your quality. Please plan ahead carefully for a much lower paycheck and look for another job as hard as you can. Advise all would-be MTs to look into coding or some other profession entirely. MTs are living at poverty levels these days and we have to get the word out. With VR ca ...

http://mmodal2.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/mt-compensation/ Please remember this – your company is paid for its OUTPUT, not for that high percent gain! This industry has seen an alarming increase in MTs who are not interested in transcription as a full-time career. What is happening to the career MT? How will the profession attract the quality-minded, dedicated professional if MTs can’t make any money? It won’t – it will attract the person interested in making a bit of ex ...

Here’s an article by For the Record magazine that is worth reading. Sometimes, their articles are a lot of fluff, AHDI stressing we need them, or words just filling a page, but this one affirms what we have all known for a very long time. http://www.fortherecordmag.com/archives/091012p22.shtml Interesting what is written about the Transcend lawsuit too. What can we do? At the end of the article, it mentions “MTs need to work with their employers to develop a fair compensat ...

I work from home for a small hospital. I pull up the patient's account and place the reports into it. Most of my doctors are so great and give me the account number or patient information. However, I have one doctor who is bad about not giving me any information to find the account. I spend more time trying to find his patient's accounts than actually transcribing his reports. I am wondering how I can ask for compensation for this. I make .15 cents per 65 characters. Does anyone make e ...

I came into this field long after the precedent was set on pay. I knew coming into this that the average wage ran from 6 cpl to 10 cpl, with most jobs hovering around 7 to 8 cpl. What I didn't account for was that in more than 10 or 15 years, we'd still be at that rate. Not only has our wage not gone up in over a decade, even with cost of living increases, but that when they came out with speech recognition, someone thought, "Well, it's doing half the work, so y ...

I found this interesting and just wanted to pass this information along. Unemployment compensation if you are either terminated or laid off, is not necessarily "a given." I was laid off one employee position at the beginning of July and terminated from an employee positon the beginning of August. The company I was laid off from, I was only with for a short period of time, and they lost the account. The second positon, I was with then company for 3 months, and could not me ...

Can someone please explain to me this new email we all got this afternoon about the new pay compensation plan rolling out in December? Can anyone explain it a bit more in detail. Sounds like our pay will not be the same amount anymore as in no more cpl that we were used to? Sounded like to me it will be based on quality and working weekends/nights, etc. Is this something good? Email wasn't in detail too much and a little hard to read. I dont have time to go through it right now. Thanks! ...

Since 2012, when Nuance "officially" took over the company I was with, they following has been very consistent. 1) Cut pay, then offer some type of carrot (incentive, bonus) to help us "make up" the loss in line rate. QA us to death for any little error, calll it a major error or a critical error to lower our quality score so that we cannot make 'incentive' or 'bonus.' If we do re-read the reports in order to bring quality scores up, our lines go down, and then it is a sum z ...

This morning I checked my work email, as I have been off the last few days. I found a new email titled "Update to 2015 Patient Safety Compensation Plan for the Bayscribe Platform." They have decided now that after you figure your C-LPM, anyone straight typing in Bayscribe will need to apply a platform factor of 0.88, in other words, subtract 12% of your lines. Their example was if you type 1000 lines, multiple x 0.88 and you will only get credit for 880 lin ...

Okay, so i wanted to give the old school girl try, ya know? This was the first check I could really see how this is going to work. Keeping in mind that over the Christmas week, most of my regular docs were off, and I had accounts that I had never done before, and most, were sitting there for a reason. After sitting for hours on end reviewing old note after old note to get the best quality for these unknown and often difficult providers, I was actually pretty proud of having only sent notes ...
