Has anybody worked for Transtech as an IC? nm

Transtech... worked for both and...sm
Transtech hands down is a much better company. I work on one of their oncology accounts. I think a couple of their hospital accounts are very ESL heavy, but they have great benefits and are good people to work with.
Worked for both Webmedx and Transtech sm
Webmedx really has a nice benefits package and shift differential working third shift 2.00 an hour from 12 a to 6 a and 1.00 an hourfrom 6p to 12 a. the platform really is slow though, some have problems and some don't, depends on CPU processing speed and internet connection. I had 5 megabyte speed so did not notice much issues except when they were low on work. But in order to qualify for bonus you have to average 150 LPH for the payperiod.
Transtech has good bonuses, has different options for benefits, and pay up to 40.00 for you ISP depending on what you pay per month, has a QA bonus for reports less than 10% sent to QA, shift differential--- these are 0.0025 to 0.005 per line depending 2nd or 3rd shift. I think the platform is much faster. You are working with Word interface ExText. You can see 3 jobs at a time, Webmedx you can't.
Webmedx has a timeclock and Transtech has a timesheet but are more for lines per day and pay period then actual lines per hour. Transtech expects you to work your full shift though regardless if you reach your lines in half the time.
Hope that helps. I liked Webmedx benefits package, but I liked working with less pressure for lines produced per hour. I feel my reports have better quality that way.
TransTech is the best company I have ever worked for. I have been here two years
and can't say enough good about them. I know that they are owned by some former L&H people. They are adding new accounts like crazy and are always hiring.
When I worked at TransTech, there was a doctor on one of the accounts sm
who stuttered. At first, I was really frustrated, but then I also saw it from his side, how frustrating it must be to know what you want to say and then face that challenge. I do not know about the physician you are referring to, but in the case I am referring to, I do not think the patient record suffered because of the doctor's stuttering. I just kind of grimaced when I got him. You would think that people like that, as well as the ESLs who are so challenged they can barely form a sentence, would hire a P.A./N.C. to do their dictating for them. Go figure.
Sorry you have that to deal with. 
I worked for TransTech briefly and it's not them. But I've never read that about
xx
I have worked for MQ, Spheris back when it was Edix, Transcend and OSI. TransTech is by far the bes
The pay is decent, probably not the highest in the business but not the lowest either. The benefits are good. Pay is always on time. Great bonuses. Great communication and most of all I really like the people and it makes me enjoy being an MT again.
I worked part-time for Webmedx and I work FT for TransTech. sm
My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad. Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package. My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies. Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx. Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay. I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer. I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.
I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them. My line counts are fair. The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met. The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account. The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.
Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone. I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!
Does Transtech require one weekend day to be worked for part-timers? Thanks!

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.
You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.
This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.
The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.
I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
They one I am not sure of. I have always worked FT for them. I have worked both IC and employee
and I always did way over 12,000 a pay peroid. I am sure they are pretty comparative to other companies. You definitely could contact a recruiter by applying if they would answer all of your questions up front. Good luck.

TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.

Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA 
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.

I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
TransTech
They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs. What is the story?
transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.

Anyone have any info on TransTech. I have an interview today.

Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech
Give Transtech a try. I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for. I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out. I now work for TransTech and they are a great company. You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be? TIA.

Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there. I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for. Do they pay for spaces? What is their average starting cpl? TIA
transtech
i applied for them. i have five years experience and work at home. they told me i did not have enough experience
TransTech
I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it. Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work. It works for me !!

TransTech Medical Solutions (in Texas) does not offshore. It is a US company with US transcriptionists.

Ask yourself this, what is wrong with companies who advertise constantly, are people always leaving or do they hire too many people? You can usually answer your own question.
TransTech
You'll hear positives and negatives on any company depending on individual expectations and experiences. As for myself, TT is about as close to a perfect company as one can find these days. Can't speak about insurance costs, I don't have the insurance. I've posted before about my experience with TT and don't want to bother doing it again. About all I can tell you is nothing ventured, nothing gained.
TransTech
The reason I said I didn't want to post my experience with TT again is I am totally disgusted with people like the poster above who says, baby, baby, sounds like management again. What?! Is there some law these days that says an MT can't be happy with the company he/she works for? So here goes.....First and foremost, I wouldn't know management if they jumped up and bit me in the butt. Don't know who owns the company, don't care. Don't know how many employees they have, don't care. Don't know what their accounts are other than those that directly affect me, don't care. Now from the above, you can conclude that I rarely hear from management unless I have a problem, then they respond promptly. The work is just that...it's work; there's good and there's not so good but it's there and I work as much as I want. The pay may not be the absolute best but it's fair and I average $25-$30/hour so no complaints there. The pay is always correct and direct deposited on time. Tech support is the best I've ever worked with. The platform is easy to learn and easy to use, no going between multiple screens or otherwise wasting time.
Now, Baby, Baby (above poster) if you have management questions, you should probably consider addressing them to TT management. If you have questions from an MTs point of view, you can ask me.
TransTech
I'm PT and speaking only from my own experience, they've bent way over backward to accommodate me. They have allowed me to be very flexible and given me just about anything I've asked for. By the same token, it's a 2 way street and when the need arises I do whatever they ask of me, whenever they ask it, to keep them in TAT. I wouldn't want to say for sure because I don't know but I would imagine they would accept PT and/or a split shift. I wish you luck and all I can say is if they work for you as well as they've worked for me, you'll be one happy camper. In between the *&%^* Company and TT, I think I stopped at just about every national and semi-national in the country before I found a company that suited me.
TransTech
Thank you for replying. Some lady posted that they took out $458.00 from her check, I thought she meant because of ExText. She was saying with ExText, you lose 30% of your line count?
Do you work for Transtech and what does DQS mean. Again, I had sent out a post on TransTech and what to expect if I went to work for them.
TransTech
Thinking of changing to TransTech. Does anyone know if their line rate is compatible and/or if they pay spaces, headers, and footers?
TIA!
