off shore transcription - jj
Posted: May 23, 2010
Does anyone know for a fact that Transcend sends work off-shore? Heard the rumor, and just wonder if its true after their protestations to the contrary.
What I heard - from an employee

I have a friend who has worked for them for many years that told me last week, yes they do, but she also said she never runs out of work as she has primary, second and third accounts she can work on.

You friend, who never runs out of work, did she recently get a line rate decrease? Do you know what platform she works on?

You know I don't discuss rate of pay with fellow MT's. I know she does a lot of VR and she is apparently happy with the money she is making and the accounts she is on. I know what accounts she told me she was working on but I don't want to mention them here. She has worked for them for many years after working for several other MTSO's and I guess she found her niche.
Lots of people dont know the difference between the - 2 words, and use them interchangeably. (sm)

And we all know that most of these people do not have a much regard for the English language, or else they wouldn't be doing what they're doing.
My money says when they say "outsource", it's just a less-alarming way of saying "offshore".
Our work is going offshore faster than you can imagine. According to posts, I see we are wondering about the lack of work, in many cases for over a year. We are behind in getting info on this. Google off-shore transcription or any words that will get you the info. The information is plentiful. Many articles state the hospitals are unaware that work is going off shore. They just dictate, assume it goes to a central system in the states and we sit behind our des ...

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 ...
Not sure how much good it will do, but here is something interesting.

There is a petition here http://wh.gov/XbqE about stopping off-shoring jobs. I saw it on facebook, and it would apply to MT, I think.
They need 150 signatures for it to be put on the White House website.
If our jobs were back here and not sent to other countries, maybe we could finally work and get paid enough to survive - kind of like in the "good old days."

I know I have seen this in the past, but cannot remember what the resources were.

Can anyone help? Thanks so much. ...

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.
While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...
I have been offered a position with both. I have; however, in the past, had a position where the employer still owes me $6000. Does United pay and have the work? Does Nuance have enough work for me? I need full time work guaranteed income, like everyone else. Good luck to all out there! ...
Would someone explain to me how is that this company can legally pay us a lower rate for ASR compared to transcription?
