Proscribe Reviews

I was debating on whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I think the company offers great experience for anyone interested in entering the medical field. I personally am trying to get into medical school and I have heard from current medical students that scribing gave them a great head start in school. They accommodate well to a someone still in school or trying to study for the mcat. The only down side is the pay. You do not get paid for the amount of work and the task you are being asked to do.

One of the best ways to get experience working in a clinical setting. You get paid to literally work entire shifts at the hip of a physician or PA, seeing every patient, and documenting the medical note / medical decision making process. The only other way to get this kind of experience is by shadowing, except you don't get paid. I highly recommend for any pre--med/Pre-PA/Pre-Nursing students.

- Low level of integrity amongst key leaders
- Account Managers given poor compensation for expected workload
- HR not dependable with addressing workplace issues
- Org/Structure provides little to no support for scribes working outside of the state of Texas
- Upper management and trainers refer to scribes as kids during professional business meetings

Be sure to document every interaction when/if employed with this company

Just to make things less complicated, I got hired in December and it's currently May and I have not started. I got "accidentally" fired and now they have me doing everything all over again when they told me I wouldn't have to. At this rate, it's going to take me a year to start this job ONLY. I wish I could give no stars.

I enjoyed working for them in person, but remotely was terrible. The specialty clinic was extremely picky on how they wanted notes, and I could barely hear what was going on. I had no training on the terminology needed for the specialty clinic I was with. I scribed by myself after 2 days of training. I resigned for person reasons and worked for 6 months, but they don t tell you that you also have to work 400 hours or pay back $250 which doesn t include any training time So I didn t even get my last pay check and I still owe money. Do not recommend.

There s so much I could say about why ProScribe is the worst employer I ve ever had. But instead, I want to focus on their bogus contract that essentially is just a scam. Basically you have to sign a contract to work with them, and if you re part-time your contract is six months AND 500 hours worked, full-time is one year AND 1000 hours worked. The deal is that if you can t meet BOTH requirements, you have to pay back the money they spent training you. Which is $250 for part-time and $500 for full. The catch? You re never going to reach your required hours. I was working full-time , and made max of 30 hours per week. And that was only after picking up four or five shifts a month. I quit at 8 months of working, and they told me I only had about 650 hours. In eight months. There was no possible way I could have gotten the full 1000 at that rate. And they manipulate your schedule to con you like that. They have a thing called backup shifts where if someone calls in for a shift, the one on backup has to come in. Well in their scheduling software, scheduling someone as a backup counts towards ProScribe s minimum of eight shifts a month policy, even if that person never has to come in and works that shift. So once you reach the end of your contract and you don t have the required hours, they re going to say, What? We scheduled you all your hours! What happened? It s pathetic. Don t ever work here. Plus all the passive aggression from the top down is childish. You deserve better.

I worked as a SoGo Trainer for about a year and a half . I really enjoyed working for Proscribe and was extremely happy with how I was treated as an employee. Genesis and Yessenia are really amazing supervisors and try their best to accommodate your personal schedule. If I ever had any issues I felt very comfortable reaching out to either of them and they always responded within minutes. They definitely ensure a great work culture. I learned so much working here and it was truly a great opportunity!

I have been a ProScribe medical scribe for almost 1 year. The job offered to me in a very fast manner, providing that I have a graduate degree and that I'm available at all times (early morning, regular work times, night, overnight, weekends, holidays). The trainings (online, classroom, clinical) were efficient and informative and I learned a good deal. The organization is well structured and have contracts with many major hospitals across the country. The pay has been acceptable for medical scribes, bonuses for doing overnight shifts and traveling to work at new sites. ProScribe is affiliated with a medical school and that's a really good benefit of working at ProScribe.

I used to work for Seaton in Harker Heights for Proscribe. I was bullied by the ER physicians. Specifically the ER NP Anna. The chief scribe there has a tight relationship with the doctors and will believe anything they say over you. He messaged me saying my overall attitude at work wasn t appropriate when I told him the entire story he blew it off. I was messaged by one of my co workers that I was being talked about harshly by the providers the day I wasn t there because I didn t know how to work the brand new EMR the hospital got (no one knew how to at the time) DONT WORK HERE.

Working for Proscribe was anything but acceptable. Listed below are a few reasons why I decided to leave the company and pursue a different career before applying to graduate school:

-Before applying for the job be sure to know that training costs paid for by Proscribe are considered a loan and if you quit within a certain period of time you are expected to pay back the time you were trained.

-Before applying for the job be sure to know that once you sign your employee contract you also are signing a do not compete where are you are not allowed to work for any other scribing companies for a extended period of time.

-You will not get breaks or lunches, which are supposed to be provided by the employer by law. You are encouraged during training, or better said, informed during training that breaks or lunches are not to be expected given you are working around the schedule of a medical provider. You are free to take breaks at any time during your shifts, but providers will continue to see patients which ultimately stacks onto your workload making it hard or sometimes impossible to finish charting within 30 minutes after your shift. Staying beyond 30 minutes after your shift is against Proscribe s policy and can lead to reparations. I can say from personal experience I have worked 10 hour shifts and I ve only been able to use the bathroom once. There was no time for lunch there was no time for breaks. The longest break I have ever taken while working was approximately 10 minutes long. Again, this type of work and behavior is promoted, encouraged, and expected by proscribe and it s management.

-Perhaps my biggest issue with Proscribe is the disjunction between their expectations and the resources they give you to meet said expectations. Scribes are supposed to be detail oriented, quick on their feet, and be able to handle working in a intense environment. It would be no issue if Proscribe would invest money back into resources to allow scribes to meet these expectations. There were multiple computers that were either broken, well beyond their life, or had major issues including unchangeable zoomed in screen making it impossible to complete work, poor battery life, or were just slow in general. I cannot comprehend how a employer can expect so much out of its employees without giving them any of the necessary tools to be able to meet those expectations. Many times it felt like we were set up to fail based off of what we were given and what we were expected to do with the tools provided. It s inexcusable.

-Now this really isn t an issue with Proscribe it s self, but get ready to work with some pretty difficult people. Many of the medical providers I worked with had very specific changes and request that they wanted for their charting which made navigating as a new employee pretty challenging. Many of the medical providers list in their preference sheets things like do not speak to me while I am charting, use common sense, do not interrupt me, and many other things that make scribes feel insignificant, undervalued, and dismissible.

These are just a few of the reasons as to why I decided to leave proscribe. Their ways of navigating business are inexcusable and in my opinion wrong. It feels they take advantage of pre-medicine or pre-healthcare students without providing necessary resources to complete their job in a successful manner. Finally, Proscribe does not compensate scribes well enough for what they do. Again, inexcusable.
