I really do not think Transcend expected this type of   backlash from the MDI-MD  MTs.  Bet they are scrambling now to figure out what to do.  Wonder how those 30 companies feel about being handed over to someone they did not negotiate with?  How many doctors do you think are happy to learn new platforms?    How many do you think are happy to find out their dictation might be going to India? 

That is not real smart on Transcend’s part to lose trained MTs.  They paid $16.2 million for 30 customers/accounts.  They (eventually) will have already paid approximately $540,000 per customer.  Those customers are expecting a certain product in a certain time period.  The smart thing for Transcend would be to bring over every single MDI-MD   MT/MLS at any price, keep them all on the same accounts, and make the customers super happy for at least a year.  The alternative for them is to hire new, untrained MTs/MLSs, and spend days training them based on the current new account specifics of the acquired customer, hoping that it will not take too long for the new MTs to produce as many lines as the MDI-MD trained MTs did before.  If  reports are sent back late, full of blanks, or are a total disaster, that customer will be gone in a flash.  Even if all 30 have to sign new contracts with Transcend, unacceptable work product is always a deal breaker, and they can get out of a contract in a flash if the work is not up to standard or done in the specified TAT.  If that happens, Transcend not only loses those customers’ future revenues, but they just burned $540,000 each for nothing, and they now have a bunch of  MTs with  no work that they have to deal with.  Any company that has stockholders has a bottom line, and that means keeping ALL the customers happy, at least until they have paid off their acquisition price. 

I would think if all of the MDI-MD Transcriptionists banded together and demanded keeping the same wage, hours, etc., it would be in the best interest of Transcend to give it to them for at least a couple of years.  I could be wrong, and probably am, since I am not a multi-billionaire, but antagonizing the people who make you the most money the fastest just does not seem to make much business sense to me.  But then again, I am just one of those faceless machines who sit and hit the keyboard all day.  HoHum

Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions? 

TIA

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.

They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs.  What is the story?

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

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:

http://www.transtechmedical.com/contactus.html

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.

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.

Thinking of changing to TransTech.  Does anyone know if their line rate is compatible and/or if they pay spaces, headers, and footers?

TIA!

Is Transtech located in Houston, TX?
