SmartMed info please? I think out of Texas

TSI in Texas
I worked in a hospital where TSI picked up the overflow. I worked with them for a couple of years before quitting that job. I got hired on with them a year or two later. I turned my notice on day #90. Disorganized. Too much down time. Poor technical support. Marketing rep making promises MTs could not deliver on. Swapped around on accounts left and right, each time waiting up to 3 days for tech support to make the adjustments on their end. Poor sound quality. Difficult platform. And don't get me started on the attitude of the owner (long private story).
This used to be TSI out of Texas
Check the boards! I worked for this company and left because of management issues. If you have a problem they don't want to hear anything about it! Not sure if they changed platforms but the one I used was archaic and was paid by the word. You also had to have about 3 phone lines to hook into their system. Was a real pain!

I don't see very much about MTs of Texas. If anyone out there is currently working for them or you are familiar with them, I would appreciate it if you share. Thanks in advance.
I think they are all in Texas. nm

Anyone from MTs of Texas?
I just accepted a position with MTs of Texas and am very excited. Anyone else from MTS of Texas? Looking to network with fellow colleagues. 
MTS of Texas
Would like to hear from present and past transcriptionists regarding this company. Good and bad, i.e., does getting paid by the minute earn you a good pay check, good accounts, platforms, etc. Thanks for your time.
Thanks. No, not in Texas. NM

Smartmed? I think they used to be TSI in TX?
I have searched the archives and see a lot of positive feedback about TSI, but nothing really as Smartmed. I believe that these two companies are one in the same. Anyone have any recent information that they can share? Thanks!
SmartMed
Care to share?
SmartMed
Thanks for the info. I had no idea they were offshoring. Are you sure you have the right company? Transcription Solutions now SmartMed. Was it an acute care account?
SmartMed
Interesting! You learn something new everyday in this business.
SMARTMED pay
They really do not pay well. Very chaotic. Would not recommend it.
SmartMed, LP is the best!
This is a great company to work for. The believe in teamwork. Not many companies can say they still employ their first 2-3 employees since starting the business 24 years ago. Too many employees to count have been with the company for over 10 years. I would say that speaks very highly of management. With the owner and managers being medical transcriptionists themselves, this has made a difference in how they handle their own employees. Their pay is average or higher than many other nationwide transcription services. Only those with superb work ethics and produce quality transcription can appreciate SmartMed, LP. With what I've experienced in working for other companies in the past, I wouldn't work for anyone else.
SmartMed
I work for SmartMed part-time doing radiology. This is easy work for a fair price. I have worked on and off for them over the past 20 years. They are honest and fair and have never cheated me out of a dime.
SmartMed is TSI
The company changed how it is structured in January and with that came a new name. Nothing more exciting than that. If you get on when you are supposed to and do your work, this company is great. They have excellent 3rd shift incentives.
SMARTMED
Run - don't walk away from this one. Very disorganized. Low pay. Not on par with national rates.
SmartMed
Does anyone have any information on editing for SmartMed? Is this a good company to work for?
SmartMed
Yes, the people were very nice, but the account that I was on was totally screwed up. Very unorganized. They may have gotten better after they lost the account that I was on, but the short time I was there, I did not have good experience. Yes, the pay was on time.
SmartMed
Awful company for me. Very disorganized. I would not recommend working for them at all!!! When I was there they didn't even have QA editors. So much work was going to the client wrong without any proofing from a QA editor. Pretty frightening in my opinion.
SmartMed, LLP/TSI
I have had nothing but positive interaction w/ this company. Pay rate is comparable; management is very helpful and keeps close watch on all accounts; very fair and trustworthy--not many companies can I say that about. Good benefits, too. Good luck.
SmartMed
Hello ~ Anyone have any info on SmartMed? I'm debating on taking a new position with them (transcription) but have some doubts. They're based out of Houston (I'm from Wisconsin)and was told there are quite a few ESL's which I'm not too experienced with. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
SmartMed
I am interested in Smart Med. Does anyone have any information to offer?
smartmed
anyone have any info on smartmed? I have a test to take for a position but I just thought I would ask here first if its worth my time. Thank you in advance!
SmartMed
Anyone working/worked for SmartMed? Pros and cons please. Thanks.
smartmed
Worked for them for 4 days, hated it!! Never looked back.
smartmed
Several things why I quit. The editing was not voice but QA editing and you had to turn on track changes so you're correcting someone's transcription fresh off the farm so you pretty much have to change everything and add words they either didn't understand or just plain left out. Smartmed also said I was leaving out dictation after I got done editing, which after I finished editing, it went to yet another editor. Yeah right, I have only been doing this for 15 years and just randomly leave out words. Whatever! Also you had to log in on one site to download work, then log off and log onto another site to retrieve the work, then after 5 jobs you send the work in. A lot of toggling back and forth nonsense. Cannot make money doing that all day long. I just didn't like the QA editing aspect of the job, I'm used to voice editing so moved on to greener pastures. Good luck.
SmartMed
I almost did not accept their offer because of 2 reasons: the negative comments I found on the boards, and the generous pay. I thought to myself A company would not offer that much per line unless they are truly desperate. I am glad I overcame my reluctance. They are the secret jewel of the MT companies. I have only worked on one account so my experience is limited. The account is challenging, but in good way. I have zero bad things to say about them - nothing but praise.
Smartmed
Anybody? Anything? H-e-l-l-o-o-o? Tia.
SmartMed
Anyone know anything about SmartMed. They are offering 11 Cents a line? Good or bad?
SmartMed
Is this the SmartMed in Texas? If so, I worked for them as an Editor on an account that was nothing but offshored, 100% offshore. All typing done offshore.
SmartMed
Hello. Does anyone know anything about SmartMed? Thanks for all replies. 
SmartMed
Thanks for taking the time to respond -- I greatly appreciate your making me aware of this.
Smartmed / TSI
If you are actually finding the SmartMed website, you would see they are TSI. You would also see that you cannot access any information for applying or the benefits page. This is a BIG sign that it is an offshore company. I'd stay away.
I would also like to know about SmartMed
or maybe it is MedSmart. Anybody ever worked for them?
Smartmed
They've posted the radiology and pathology jobs on here because no one in the company wanted them. I currently work for them - 9-1/2 years now. BUT they have made up their own platform which sucks. Time consuming, used to have a lot of updates on, froze up, etc. It's better now but myself and another girl on our main account have to work longer hours due to lack of work (they have over-hired) and how slow this platform is. I'm checking out other companies but the grass is always greener thing keeps coming to mind. Smartmed's benefits are ok. pay is average.
SmartMed
Anyone ever?
Smartmed
Check out their Website: Smartmed.Info. I work for them. About as good as any other company. They are fair, pay is average.
smartmed
They have their own platform which isn't hard to learn but can be slow at times with multiple upgrades. Work loads are low on some accounts now except for the one they're hiring for. Benefits are okay except insurance premiums pretty much doubled a few months ago. Pleasant people to work for but not much in the way of tech support. But then I don't know of a company that is 100% great to work for.
smartmed -
What exactly would you like to know about them?
TRY SMARTMED....
I currently work for them, have been here 10 years. They were hiring for a large teaching hospital. They pay on time, pretty fair people. Their platform isn't the greatest though. I have Vista so you can work with your computer.
On Job Seeker's Board, they were posting for a job about 2 weeks ago.
SMARTMED
The platform is not very Transcriptionist friendly. Lots of upgrades and upgrades to the upgrades. Problems with the word program and wav pedal working with the program. Not much tech support there. Pay is average. They've made cutbacks as far as reimbursements, etc.
smartmed
anyone looking for a good company to look into I would suggest Smartmed out of Houston Texas. Seem to have abundance of work, pay on time and pay well. Have employee status and IC status. I am very happy there.
DALLAS, TEXAS ANYONE
Does anyone know what some of the nicest areas are in Dallas?
A company in Texas.

.

nm

company.
