I am thinking of getting into the field of MT but not hearing good things about it as far as steady work and getting paid. I am also courous about the average yearly income because I've heard a wide range of numbers. Also what is the real deal about getting work right out of school with no experience. ...
I have been trying to get a MT job since September. I have thirty years of experience. A company called me last week because they were looking for a seasoned radiology transcriptionist. They saw my resume on a board from 2010. Anyway I interviewed and was ready to take the test tomorrow and I just got an email saying one of their MTs want to increase their hours so I won't be needed anymore. They did not know this in advance. ...
Can someone please help me. I am new to the company, I have not been here 90 days yet. my TSM is "gone" so I have a new one now and have not yet spoken with her. I am very concerned because I realized that my "contracted" rate of 4 and 9 cpl at 150 lph does NOT meet my state minimum wage, I rarely get straight typing to get the 9 cpl. I also am not meeting the 150 lph yet, even so that is only like 6$ an hour, that is horrible. I should have done my math beforehand. I didn't think they coul ...
They seem to be on every board and they just keep coming down and it reminds me of winter. I don't really like winter. I'm more of a summer person. Also, is there any way to change this site from blue to yellow? I prefer yellow. TIA! ...
Just a thought, has anybody noticed that all TLs and TSMs are CMTs. I believe they discriminate against those of us who do not have our RMT or CMT for any positions of authority. I have applied for many TL and TSM positions and have never heard a word. They CYA by putting that preferred line in, but what they mean is don't bother. I believe this is discrimination. What do you all think??

Verizon Business has launched the Verizon Medical Data Exchange, a platform to exchange transcribed and digitized physician notes. The vendor developed the platform for the Medical Transcription Service Consortium, established last year by the Medical Transcription Industry Association and the ICSA Labs division of Verizon Business. Two transcription firm members of the consortium, MD-IT and MedQuist, are using the platform. The other vendor members--MxSecure, Sten-Tel and Webmedx--expect to be ...
My ASR rate x 100 is less than minimum wage. My transcription rate x 100 is just slightly higher than minimum wage. I wonder if MQ is planning to increase the minimum lph to 150. ...
How of HIPAA compliance yields profitable partnerships?
I guess a lot of emphases given to HIPAA compliance is truly justified, especially in the case of outsourcing. The thrust on confidentiality and security of patient records grows manifold when it's done across 7 seas. ...
Are there any other Transcend MTs out here? I have been running out of work more lately and my supervisor just tells me to come back on later ...... shouldn't we get out of work pay if we are scheduled to work and there is no work? Do you know if we can work for Transcend as contractors rather than as an employee so we can have more flexibility? I am at my wits end here and just don't know what to do. ...

Is it just me, or would I be concerned 100+ folks are coming to M*M this week? Does anyone get concerned about this, such as going from FT to PT due to the pressure of tons of typists? ...
This is what I understand to be true: If we had supplemental insurance through Alpha Staff, such as Critical Accident, Cancer Insurance, Short Term Disability, etc., the expiration of this coverages ends this Friday, August 31. I have spoken with Colonial , the company we are supposed to call to discuss new coverage, this morning. They told me they are waiting on "something" from our company before they can give quotes or put us in the system individually. It sounds like if we get a c ...
I do not work for the Q, however, I have been trying to follow what is about to happen with the First Time Right protocol because I do have friends who work there, I am a MT with over 25 years experience and of course there is always concern that even though (in my opinion) this seems like a beyond crazy idea, it could possibly affect MTs everywhere eventually.
My question is this, (it may have been discussed already on this board, if so I apologize) with the new HITECH laws does this not ...
I am sorry to bring this up here, but I just wanted to know if anyone else who works for Optuminsight, or Axolotl is concerned about where the transcription portion of the company is going? I have noticed the workload has diminshed significantly since the takeover. There have been people who have been there for a significant amount of time retiring or quitting. Even the Optuminsight website says nothing about transcription nor does United Health Group. The letter to the c ...
To all concerned.
I was a Webber(WMX). I was proud of that fact and have done very well in the past 10 years with WMX. I'm very fast and produce quality reports at the same time an employee who works their shift.To the best of my knowledge this corporate company Nuance has been buying the world (so it seems) in medical transcription services and I know when we at WMX were bought out we were told how our production would increase leaps and bounds with escription over m*modal and and D.N.S. ...
I am working on starting up my own MT business (as you have maybe seen by some of the other posts I have sent) and I have been reading some of the latest posts and have seen discussions about this being a dying business and I have seen many people are getting out of this field and venturing elsewhere. Up until the holidays, I was making a great living and I guess with the holidays underway, I am still waiting on work. I thought that this would have picked up by now but I have n ...
Okay, enough already my dear friends and colleagues. This "mutiny" has gone on far enough to long. I was very concerned because I am one of those who has dial up. I am used to slow response time, and YES it has affected my production because of waiting. So, I was very, very worried. I did have to take my MQ computer to my parents and use their DSL to do the training and the download of the 6.1. Support was great, they found ...
