UPMC laying off 100 MTs, will be offered jobs wit Nuance - happy ex-MT


Posted: May 21, 2013

Below is a link to article about UPMC laying off transcriptions, but they are to be offered jobs with Nuance.  Ugh.  I wish I could tell all of these MTs to run the other way.  Anybody who has been gobbled up by Nuance from other companies/hospitals knows exactly what is coming and what is going to happen to these MTs.   http://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/blog/morning-edition/2013/05/upmc-to-lay-off-transcription-workers.html

Did you see the comment section - great response!

UPMC MTs Protest Post Nuance Outsourcing
Oct 31, 2013

These are transcriptionists that were pretty much forced to sign onto Nuance once they took over the transcription of their hospital. No option for UE or severance! After working for Nuance see how much their pay drops. Pretty disgusting, actually. We have all experienced it, but gradually for us, bit by bit, but these poor ladies got a huge dose all at once and went from making good money and good benefits to minimum wage. ...


Anyone Recently Offered A Job At Nuance...
Nov 14, 2014

Since those of us working for Nuance have not heard a damn thing, I'm wondering if anyone has tested and received an offer letter.  If you have, would you be willing to share the rate they offered?  I don't foresee them telling us anything before December, if then, since they said we'd know more about the compensation changes on Nov. 1 and nada!  ...


Offered Job At Nuance, Question About Pay Plan...
May 06, 2015

I was told that the position would be acute care and on the Escription platform.  Supposedly the majority of MTs on this account are making 10 cents a line.  I have since been doing a lot of research and see a lot of posts about how you are unable to make any money with Nuance.  I guess my question is do different platforms and accounts affect what your line compensation would be?  I need to make a decision and looking for some information.  Thanks.... ...

Why Is IMEDX Not Just Laying Off All Of Us?
Mar 30, 2015

I was with another company that IMEDX took over last year.  Now, like everyone else, my work at IMEDX is drying up.  When I used to get about 20,000 lines in a pay period, I'm now getting about 10,000 to 14,000.  I have taken another MT position to try and supplement.  I see some people are actually being laid off.   What I can't figure is why we're not all being laid off.  Why are some of us still there, dying a slow, painful financial death??   ...

Why Does Accentus Keep Posting For Jobs, And Not Just Say It Is Nuance
Jan 03, 2013

That is unfair. They should just advertise under Nuance now.  People might jump to the job thinking it is another company, and come to find out it is Nuance.  This is false advertising. I surely wish Accentus would quit posting job openings. I get excited whenever I see a good job listing then I see it is Accentus/Nuance all over again. Sheesh.  Thanks for listening to my little rant. ...

We Just Found Out Our Hospital Jobs Have Been Outsourced To Nuance.... Sm
Feb 20, 2015

We just found out our hospital jobs are being outsourced to Nuance.  I am really worried.  From the webinar we attended, Nuance said all the right things and it didn't sound too bad, but it sure doesn't mesh with what I'm reading here.  We have to make a decision about whether to go with them or not by next week, and I don't feel like I have all the answers I need yet.  I feel like I'm being pressured.    I want to ask them questions b ...

Just Another Vent About Jobs, No Jobs, Requirement Of Jobs, Etc.
Aug 18, 2010

It is insulting to all of us with the way that MT pay has gone down the drain, it is frustrating and aggravating to look for a "decent" job these days, trying to work out which companies will treat you fairly, which ones lie about their platforms, work, etc., and not only do these companies not want to pay us what we are worth but now I see that MANY companies are requiring the MT to have or "be willing" to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment.  If an employer can PROMISE IN ...


Wow!! I Was Just Offered 2 Cpl To QA!!
Jan 20, 2010

Why dont they just start asking us to work for free!  At that rate I dont even think you make minimum wage!  This is obviously not even because of outsourcing.  I think what has happened is that a lot of work has gone overseas, but the remaining work that the transcription companies are getting is still paying a half-ways decent rate but they have taken a small cut to keep them.  Then they turn around and pay NOTHING to get it transcribed so the people running the companies a ...

Would Any Of You Take A Buyout From MQ If Offered?
Jun 20, 2010

In past months I have read on this board, with dismay, so many posts about long-time MQ MTs/MEs failing consecutive audits, and eventually being discharged. I think it is a major coincidence that so many employees are suddenly and consistently failing to meet the same quality standards they always met. I think it’s a flimsy contrivance to get rid of the more highly paid employees and replace them with cheaper newbies while avoiding an age discrimination actions because those higher-paid pe ...

Again... OOW Due To OT Offered Yesterday
Jan 27, 2015

We were out of TAT once last week and since then if there are more than 2 (well maybe I am exaggerating here) jobs in the pools they open up OT.  Everyone needs to make money, so of course many of us come in and work.  Understandable.  But TSMs need to cut it off at some point so we don't wind up with nothing in the morning and slow, slow, slow to build up during the day once it is cleaned out at night.  They want you to come back in early afternoon and make up ...
