MediTask - Sarah Mayor's group
Posted By: Sarah Mayor on 2009-08-24

Time to update my company's info - there remains confusion about the 3-4 different MediTask companies.
You can now reach mine through www.meditask.net or www.meditask.com (just finally bought the .com this year).
I started this company in Houston in 1989, and sold a portion off in 1995. The current owners of that portion use both the hyphenated Medi-Task, as well as a version closer to my own mediTask (with a small m), and is now Indian-owned and operated. They still maintain an office in Houston, but the owners are in both Virginia and California. I have nothing to do with that company.
The LLC Meditask in Las Vegas is a medical management and administration company - and I'm not sure what they do exactly, but am pretty sure it isn't transcription. I have nothing to do with them, either.
Someone tells me there isa MediTask (sp?) in Austin, TX as well - but I don't know anything about them - am thinking that is an offshoot of the one in Houston.
Please don't confuse my company (the original) with any of these others. If you hear something non-positive about a meditask, please don't report it in a confusing way, but instead use specifics like the owners' name so that those who are reading can better figure out WHICH company to watch out for.
I don't think it's mine... we have a great group of MTs, super tools, a sensible platform, happy clients, and helpful/kind//fair management. Again, you can find us at www.meditask.net or www.meditask.com.
Thanks for listening!

I worked for a large and nasty national (which shall go unnamed to protect the guilty) and suddenly my line count plunged by 500 lines a day. This happened almost overnight. I was on the same account, same platform, etc. so there was nothing to account for it. The same thing happened to several others on my same account. We later found out that the company was, er, fiddling with the line counts. I am not saying that this is happening at your shop, but it would be worth investigating......I have been there,done that, and it isn't pleasant. Some (note: I said SOME not ALL) of these companies will stop at nothing these days when it comes to exploiting the MT.

Does anybody know which company Sarah,
is hiring for? They are seeking radiology transcriptionists.
TIA!
Sarah, I think their point is they are tired of hearing the
Your negativity resonates further and louder than you think.
These OPs are intelligent and just because you bellowing ominous warnings does not mean that everyone wants to hear them.
This industry is no different than any other - it is changing and evolving.
There will be 2 groups involved: Those who are happy and excited about changes because they are adaptable and are comfortable with change and those who will be left behind, bitter, unhappy, struggling, and allow their own perspective to be ruined by their own obstinance to change.
Please do not be one of the latter.
I'm just sayin' ...
MediTask
Does any work for MediTask out of Texas? I am currently considering a position with them. Are they a good company to work for? Is the pay on time? Any comments would be appreciated. Please e-mail me. Thanks for your assistance. 
MediTask
Medi-Task - there are two active companies. One, based in Houston, is a prior offshoot of MediTask (in central Texas), but hasn't been associated with us in 14 years!
My name is Sarah Mayor. I started Medi-Task in Houston in 1989, while pregnant with my last child. It grew. We moved to central Texas, and in 1995 I sold a PORTION of my company to Matt Read in Houston, and he subsequently sold it to the Indian group in early 2000s. What I've heard through the grapevine is that neither owners paid much attention paying MTs, and they got a bad reputation. Unfortunately, I'm getting hit with their reputation.
I don't think you'll find much of anything negative about MY MediTask, which is at www.meditask.net (no hyphen, and .net, not com). I'm happy to answer any questions for anyone who might be confused or concerned, and I'm happy to share some of our MT's comments about how we work, and how management treats its team members. We pay on time twice a month, every time, and we use Direct Pay.
Medi-Task.com was a company in Las Vegas, know little about them. Their site isn't working right now (3-13-2009).
I just needed to get my 2 cents worth in on this... It's sad to think that my company might have lost out on a great MT because of lack of info, or misinformation.

MediTask. Any information please?
Would love to know if anyone has any information on this company, good bad or ugly! TIA for your help!
MediTask....NOT in Houston
There are two MediTasks. The one I am wondering about is in Austin....I think. Is it a nice place to work. Pay?? Hours/shifts? Anything would be wonderful!
s meditask.net the same as medi-task.com
Does anybody work for them? TIA

MT Group
I would never work for her again. Very moody, extremely picky. She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.
mt group
Does anyone have any info on the MT group? Thanks
MT Group
Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows. All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is
describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination. Let's be adults here.
ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either. I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable. Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
Yes, there was a group of 12 or more. nm

Another group
I have been involved in starting groups with a specific purpose in mind before. What happens every time is that a bunch of different personalities get together for a common cause, then they start fighting over different ideas on how things should be done, lose sight of the original purpose, and the next thing you know it is like being back in the sandbox in kindergarden and nothing gets accomplished and the whole thing fizzels.
You really should not group all MTs together. nm
Not all of us whine, connive, or are disloyal. Personally, I am a very loyal IC. I show up and work when I say I will, produce top quality documents, and am appreciated by my accounts.
Maybe you have just come across a few bad apples, but not all of us have poor work ethics and personal values.
You should think before you write something so generic as this.
TT group
Isn't there a chat group on Twitter or Facebook for Transtech MTs?? How do you join it??
do not lump us all into that group, please!
Some of us out there still do what we say we are going to do, produce excellent quality work, and have plenty of experience. I just cannot find an honest employer who pays well these days. Seems there are issues on both sides of the fence! I am not sure what the solution is. Ideas? :-)
WestTran group
anybody know anything about WestTran group LLC. the good,the bad,the ugly?! Thanks!
Growing with a new group of
They started a group of hospitals based in TN, and are adding them one at a time during the year. Lots of ER and acute care positions, we get emails noting the new accounts and added positions.
MT Group, any information would

Seriously? That's what The Group Formerly Known as AAMT SM
wants to do. We all take a test, send them lots of money and belong to their group. I'm sure it will be a lot of money. After all, it takes a lot to set up shop in Modesto, CA and, ohhh!, hope it wasn't in the line of those fires!
Truth is, most MT's cannot afford to join a union, if there were such a thing.
TT needs to get their own Yahoo Group or something
TransTech is such a good company so when the least thing goes wrong they immediately hop on here and announce it to the universe. It's called making adjustments, people.
If you can't handle it FIND ANOTHER JOB and stop taking over this board with the same old sad song every day.
Sorry about that, I truly didn't mean to put you all in 1 group. nm

Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
You should not have quit that group
The only things not allowed are names of accounts and bashing other people.
TransTech group...sm
I think I saw a while back someone post something about a TT group? Could someone please email me this info?
Thanks
A group note was probably sent to

Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING

A Yahoo group for Landmark MTs for support, discussion, and friendship has been created! Send me an email for the address to join.
currently only 1 group of MDI hospitals is VR

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
DSG=Dictation Services Group

They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
nm
No, but they did hire a consulting group to take over the
management of the MTS, and things went downhill quickly from there. We started getting bombarded with e-mails daily regarding the backlog (even with little to nothing on the system), and then they became very demanding about working extra when the minutes started building. Primary and backup accounts were always caught up.
The only communication is through your account manager. Don't expect to hear back from anyone higher. You're just wasting your time.
One of the MDIs and/or Medware is probably in that group, too. nm

Dictation Services Group
Anyone currently working for this company care to comment on:
1. Workload
2. volume of ESL's
3. Are managers friendly and do they return emails?
4. Good benefits?
Dictation Services Group
good/bad? I put in a resume for QA at MQ months ago and have been called back about it but it's a bunch of hurry up and wait speech--i'm supposed to get a position there but i'm applying elsewhere jic. Saw the ad for Dictation Services Group QA position and thought I would apply...thoughts?

DSG, Dictation Services Group.
I have seen varying opinions on DSG on this board in recent months and how some think that the company has gone down hill over the last year or so. I am curious as to whether others think that it is the whole company that is having the problems or if it is a case of the old DSG and DSG2 being run differently. I am with DSG2. I will say, like others that pay is always on time, although it is sad that that is a sign of a good company. I like the DocQScribe platform ok, although there are a lot of features that could be better, starting with the spell checker. I feel that there is a huge lack of good feedback, especially for newbies. Supervisors are extremely hard to get a hold of, especially at night, and even during the day emails go unanswered at least 3/4 of the time, but they don't want us to IM them. The few times I have gotten an IM answer to an email, it was short and factual to the point of being rude. I am not looking to chat, but a little common courtesy goes a long ways. And don't even get me started on the messages that come with the updates, that sound totally fake and desperate. Anyway, I was just wondering if this was a personal preference sort of thing or if it was that certain parts of the company are better than others.
New option for group members
Group members now have the option of hiding their email address and IP address. This eliminates some features of the group but is for everyone's protection.
I agree, but tell that to one group on this board, who
