Oncology Typists

Just recently had a job fair here....they are offering these positions for $15-20/hour. I know it's temporary, but it's still unbelievable. I wish I could take a LOA and go do it! The commute would kill me on gas, but I still might make more than transcribing, especially if there is no work coming in! ...

From your on-the-job experience as coders, how much typing is involved? Do you have to be super fast, or is something like 40-50 enough to do the work? ...

I've read the most recent comments on TransTech, but would like to hear from someone who currently works for them doing Oncology transcription preferably (although any other MTs who currently work for them feel free to reply as well). They are currently advertising for Oncology MTs so can anyone tell me: 1) Is there always enough work to stay busy and are the doctors decent dictators or lots of ESLs? 2) How is the cpl rate? 3) Are you an IC or an employee with this company?&nbs ...

Does anyone currently work for TransTech on their medical oncolgy account that can give me some information? They are currently hiring, but I would like to know if this is mostly VR or straight typing or a combination of both, if the pay is good, is there always work, etc? I'm so tired of jobs that have no work after the first few weeks, so I would like some info before I apply please. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much! ...

Just wondering if there are any MTs out there who are working on this account for TTS. Are you doing okay with production? How are the dictators? Interested in anything you care to share.

Thanks in advance. ...

Just curious how the new oncology account is going at Transtech that started this past week or so.

This large facility was loaded with terrible dictators, highly specialized terminology, and individual physicians with their own preferred specifications, let alone the account had detailed and constantly changing specs. ...
