I have enjoyed the last almost 4 years working at CodedNote.  The role encompasses a little more than previous jobs as an MLS.  We are assigned providers and complete transcription and input of their dictations.  We are in contact with them whenever necessary, which depends on the provider.  The pay was better on a consistent basis than I had yet received (25 years as a transcriptionist).  Although there are always ebbs and flows in the healthcare field, there was on average plenty of work.  Documentation specialists (DS's) will ask for help whenever they have extra work, as well.  There are turnaround time (TAT) deadlines throughout the day, and the aim is to add providers to your schedule until you have a good mix and  are able to get your work done in the appropriate TAT.  Management is supportive and responsive, and I was able to get through school while working here, which is the only reason I am leaving.   Classified as IC, but encouraged to find coverage if taking vacation or calling in sick.  

I liked doing the work but the people were awful.  My supervisor was rude any time I asked a question.  They canceled my access and terminated my contract while I was working with no reason given.  I did nothing wrong.  My doctors were never late.  They don't care about you one bit but they will pretend they do.  And the pay is very low for how much you have to do.  And you have to be there during their hours they want you to so you're pretty much an employee without any benefits.

Training is thorough. After training is complete, you’re assigned your own doctors, get to know them and their schedules so you can plan your week. The other Transcriptionists are always ready to jump in and cover if you need to be away, or help catch you up if your docs have a big schedule. I absolutely love my job. The support from staff and coworkers is phenomenal for a remote company. 

Enjoyed the work, plenty of it, but you are NOT am independent contractor. . . have to find you own coverage when you cannot work, have to work the hours of your clinicians but when starting told you can work whenever you would like, not true!  pay is decent, should be a slight bit higher for they expect you to do.  It is not only typing, kind of babysitting your clinicians too. . send them when there is a blank and wait for them to reply, if they don't have to keep after them.  This should be the responsibilities of management who get paid hourly or the office of the physician, not someone who is paid by production. 

The pay they told me was great-$17 an hour, but then they cut us to production pay, which equaled about $50 a week.  Not only that, they let people go with no warning and no advance notice.  It seemed great at first, but I highly recommend NOT working for this place.  I have tried communicating with them several times since they let me go for no reason, but they have been nothing but rude while I was polite.  Not professional at all.  Do NOT recommend.

Genuinely, the best transcription job I’ve had. Communication was excellent with a text system to get help with blanks.  Training was thorough. Management amazing and approachable. Very helpful. Pay was cut ; however, this was necessary to keep the contract for a longer period of time and continue to have some work.  Technology has a huge part in why less transcriptionists are needed. I feel this company is doing what they can to keep some work flowing. This company is top notch!! 

Work available everyday.  Production pay which is great for folks who love to work.  Management recently changed and are very open and receptive to suggestions and constructive feedback.  I have worked for many MT companies and this is one of the best I have been with.  After 2+ years with the company, I highly recommend them to anyone with a great work ethic!  The only thing I would change is I prefer employee status to IC.  

They started off paying $17 an hour but then I guess they didn't like how much they were having to pay people so they decided to go back to production pay which slashed the weekly amount to less than half of what it was at an hourly rate. Expected to work around the clock basically and the majority of the work you are doing is for free. Steer clear!!! 

This place will change your pay anytime they feel like it.  I have never ever worked somewhere where my pay was cut so many times.  They are terminating contracts without notice or explanation.   They do not even know what they’re doing half the time and are constantly changing things such as putting you in groups and removing you from groups and back and forth.   You do tons of work that you aren’t even paid for.   Avoid this place! 

After a year,  I still find having a work/life balance to be nearly impossible. Even though you are a contractor, they expect you to carry out duties not related to your job, find your own coverage if you need off.

Management is not really very responsive.
