eSmartmed
Has anyone ever worked for and/or had problems with eSmartmed? I was thinking of applying but was told not to.
Thanks for any input.
eSmartMed
Anyone have any recent experience with this co? Pay? Benefits? Good, bad, indifferent? Only find old comments.
The eSmartMed is just part of their e-mail
addy, there is only one company and it is SmartMed, although it just made a name change a few months ago - I think the old name was Transcription Solutions (but not sure). They are in TX.
Anyone see the $2500 signon bonus with eSmartMed? Do you
Just curious.
I wrote to the address MS McNair gave but got an autoresponder telling me she is out on vacation and if I need help to contact my account manager or supervisor. LOL
I wrote to point out the NUMEROUS spelling errors on their website. 
Houston....
Several ads on job seeker's board.
No, it is in Houston.

Medi-Task - NOT HOUSTON
From time to time, I search these boards for any posts regarding my company, MediTask. Yeah, I know I'm late (really late) posting, but some time back someone had asked about my company, asking if it was the one in Houston, owned by Matt Read, or what. Nope - not me. Here's my story:
I own Medi-Task (Hill Country, TX). I started this business in Houston in 1989, and moved to the central Texas in 1995, selling that portion of my business to Matt Read. He didn't change the name (another whole story there) but just added -"Houston" to the end of it. I fielded calls and inquiries for a long time until they died out. I understand he sold that business several months ago. I've tried calling but they sometimes have a message giving a pager number (?). Ouch... I wish people weren't confusing the two companies! 
Being an MTSO, I did hear things through the grapevine to the tune of MTs not getting paid, or paid on time... I can't really comment on that because I had nothing to do with how Matt ran his business, and basically kept my nose to the grindstone where growing my business was concerned. So, you'll have to raise those questions with someone else who was really there.
MediTask (my company) has clients in 7 states, and MTs in as many. We're a smaller, close-knit group. My MTs have never gone without pay, and I believe in behaving honorably in those matters. My reputation is important to me, and I hope to never see any negative about myself or this company. But, people are funny - - some move from company to company peddling their wares (which are sometimes rusty), and then get bent way out of shape when their services are no longer needed. Some are just bent on getting out of shape. However, that said - I have MTs who have been with me a long, long time. In fact, the first MT I ever brought on board in 1989 is working with me today. Others have been on board since '92 and '94, 99, etc.
All the MTs here are subcontractors, so I don't offer the big perks that the nationals do. Sometimes I feel bad about that (and have lost great applicants who are looking for more), but also understand that there are pros and cons to both ways. There's not a corporate bone in my body, and I never really want all the headaches associated with handling a huge company. I like it smaller where we all know each other's names, and work close as a team. We actually get together whenever we can in Austin or Marble Falls - that's pretty cool.
No one asked me, but I thought I might clear the air on the "MediTask Houston or Austin or what?" posts, let ya'll (yep, I'm from Texas) know who I am, and what this company is about. I'm proud to be associated with the people who work with me, and so lucky to have such dedicated, helpful, spirited, intelligent colleagues such as them. I'm blessed.
Anyone who has curiosity beyond this, I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

This is happening at Transtech Houston
No work this week the majority of my shift.
Are you TT MT's out of work, too, or just me? I am wondering, as this has not happened to me since I began working for them.
In a poor house in Houston
XXX
you are saying "offshore company" - they are in Houston so...
not an offshore company - American based and American owned.
If they offshore work, I do not know.
I was there a couple of years ago when they changed from TSI to Smartmed. Their only downfall was very high insurance costs.
Yes, I live right outside of Houston. It was postmarked
Friday, if that helps.
other hospitals in houston are back
A friend works for a different hospital in Houston and said they have been back up to full speed for 3 days now. So just seems odd they are not all back up to full speed. Maybe their hurricane preparedness was not as heavy duty?
I work for the one out of Houston but don't know anything about the Ohio TT

The one in Houston is the one people love

Anyone have any info on Trans Tech out of Houston?

Transtech in Houston has lots of VR work
You may have the option of working weekdays and rotate weekends, 1 one weekend per month. That is my deal but I have been here a while. Or you can work Sunday through Thursday.
That always makes it better. I do local to Houston and since I live there, it seems easier

Answers to some questions asked about TransTech out of Houston, TX
Different platforms -- Dictaphone ExText -- very clumbsy/clunky editing platform. Probably 85% ESL now that so much VR/editing being done.
Big push for more editing, so what straight transcription that is kicked out from the voice machine is absolutely horrible on the ears! THE TRUTH and nothing else but the truth !

Pay half for editing/VR work . . . yuk !
Different strokes for different MT's, but I work to earn a living, not for the fun of it ! Transcription used to be a FUN profession, but lacking now with all the jobs going to VR machine.
Any recent info on TransTech Medical Solutions of Houston TX.....sm
I just received an offer to test, wonder if it is worth it; I have a few offers, but nothing I am truly convinced about....how is this company to work for, and do they accept PT folk, don't care if it is IC, SE, or regular employee......and I, too, need flexibility, as long as I get my lines in and always make turnaround time. Long time ago, there were many, many companies that operated that way; now, it seems, everyone is very rigid -- so am I, but I have to make things work with family situation, I am not only caring for 3 kids, but also 89-year-old mom part-time. Thanx all in advance!

There was an article about how "wonderful" this company is in the Baltimore Business Journal earlier this year. Wonderful, my hiney!! The checks bounce, they are an Indian-owned company, the work is beyond horrible. They also have a couple of American companies that they use as a backdoor, and use an American as the representative front person.
They are located in Ohio....sm
An offshoot of one of the major health systems here in the Akron area. Were just recently started and are trying to get their feet wet in the national arena. Primarily were doing nothing but local work just a few months ago and very disorganized at the time. Don't know what they're like now. Benefits seemed good, comparable, but were just getting started. Originally wanted 150 lph with 98% quality and a rather harsh grading scale. For instance, medical word misuse was minus 5 percentage points, omitted (consequential) dictation minus 5 points, medical misspelling minus 3 points, and so on.... Hope this helps!
Is this company located in NYC???
If it is, I'm very surprised by this. A few years ago they were quite reputable.
Stroudsburg PA is where they are located
Anything?
Where is TransTech located please?

I'm from Arkansas and they are located here.
Don't really know anything about them though, except for what I saw posted on the State Board for Arkansas. Check it out.
They are located in Austin TX... sm
Joanna is the owner, she lives in Spain at the moment and that is probably why the caller ID did what it did. The way I understood it is Joanna and she has one FT IC who works with/for her. HTH.
