Whats up Doc?
What is up DOc. Annonimity is the best in the world. I have been with JLG far longer than you and I dont know who you refer to when you say an owner who cares for her employees. Must be a friend of yours becasuse those of us who have to work dont see the kindness you have lied about.
Whats the company's name?

why run? whats happening
I wonder what caused you to say that...I worked for Accustat of Albuquerque, NM for a year and got let go along with about 20 other MTs last December (after Christmas) with no warning or notice whatsoever. I was told the doctors for those clinics were no longer required to dictate. Just like that with one email my job was gone. I have learned this is a very unstable job field.

LOL
That's whats so great about America.....
you can choose to bury your head in the sand and hope it will never affect YOU, and that it will all go away. But hey, it's all good.
Well of course I plan to. Whats your problem?
MDI, Transcend, or wherever, we're all in this together. Unless of course you're on the suit-side of the fence.
Company paid me 179 for 4645 lines. Whats that 3.8 cpl?

She does not seem to want to contact me about the money she owes me, either.  Thirty years and 3.8 cpl.  Unbelievable.        


Whats the word on Deventure (DVHP) these days?
Prefer current or recent employee experiences. Archives seem to be a mix of good and bad, but nothing recent.
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?
