Peachtree
Had telephone interview yesterday with them. Did not realize they were only IC status. Production is paid by the minute. They sounded nice, don't know any more than that. I want/need employee status, so had to end interview. Hope this helps.
Peachtree - GA
Would appreciate any recent info on this company out of GA.
Peachtree - sm
I was offered a position - IC only, no benes, paid by dictated minute. Wasn't for me.
Peachtree/PTA
If they are the same company I attempted to work for earlier this year calling themselves PTA I worked 3 days and they never paid me for it.
Peachtree
Good benefits, owners are nice people. Steph is the owner's daughter and pretty much in charge. Okay outfit if you can handle their office manager with first name that starts with an A. She intially I believe went to school to be PA, but has been with them for long, long time. She may be good at hiring, but...
Must not be the same Peachtree
I worked there a few yrs ago and pay was always on time and correct. I never had any problems with them. They also do have benefits. The last I knew they had health insurance, life insurance, dental of which they paid a portion of. I found them to be completely fair. Bruce and Suzie owners with Stephanie taking over. They were all very pleasant people from Rhonda, Steph, Bruce, Stephanie, Alice, mother Anne and their computer person.
I think its not the same peachtree
Trust me I am not getting ripped off. I am paid by the minute, and I keep track of the minutes I do, when I receive my minutes from them, theirs is usually higher than mine by a few. I am making great money even after taxes. Are you sure this is the same peachtree?
peachtree
Sorry to hear about your problems with Peachtree. I've never worked for anyone who acted that way. I'm sure you'll find a better place to put your experience.
On another note, I had the same thing happen to me - 39-yo ex-husband died and my twins were 9 at the time. Don't know if you know this yet, but you will receive social security benefits for your daughter until she turns 18 and even longer if she goes to college full-time. If you haven't done so, you need to call your local Social Security office to get this set up.
Good luck and god bless your little girl - believe me, I know it's not easy!!
Peachtree
There is nothing that irks me more than someone to work for someone and then not get paid in a timely manner. I have no tolerance for it. It has not happened to me but it has happened to my husband and it really ticks me off. And when your child's father dies who you were obviously involved with at some point and they have the nerve to call at the graveside. When I got to my car they would not have wanted to hear what I had to say when I called them. That ticks me off and I don't even know you. That is so inconsiderate!

Peachtree
I think it is Indian owned.
Peachtree in GA??
Peachtree in GA??? Good or bad??
Peachtree
If you plan to work on it brush up on your fracture ESL English, you'll need it.
PeachTree Transcription
I worked for this company previously and they are very organized, great people! Pay was always on time too.
Peachtree transcription
Anyone know anything about Peachtree Transcription out of Georgia?
peachtree transcription
Anyone ever had any experiences with this company? They quote you a line rate then pay you something different. Also, took 3 weeks to get a check. Very rude people to work for.
peachtree in Georgia?
Great company! I got paid what was quoted and then after 90 days was given 4 cent raise (paid per minute) which I was unaware was coming. I send my bill on the 1st of the month and the check is in hands within seven days. If it is the same company, I personally have nothing but good things to say about them.
Peachtree Transcription
poor human resource techniques. They must have financial problems since they are continuously making excuses about the pay. I had to take off due to a death in my family, my 9 year old daughters father, my ex, who was only 39 years old. They were calling me repeatedly during the funeral and at the graveside needing me to work.
When I finally talked to Stephanie she was yelling in the phone at me, Do you know what kind of bind you put us in???? I resigned.
oing on two weeks and have yet to receive my last check. I am obviously not getting child support any longer and I had to take off work to help my child through this.
Bad company to get involved with!!!!!!!!!!
Peachtree Transcription
Does anyone have opinions they'd like to share regarding pros/cons of Peachtree Transcription out of Atlanta, GA? Not much in the archives about them. Are they easy to work with as an IC? What do you think of their medical insurance? Good managers, pay on time, decent dictators? Thanks a lot for your help! I am considering three offers and need to know more about this company before I jump in!
Peachtree Transcription
Does anyone have any info on Peachtree Transcription in Ga?
Anything re: Peachtree transcription out of Georgia
I would like the good and bad of this company. I am considering and would be interested in hearing. I have been with other national companies and just want to hear the scoop. If interested in talking over the phone, I can call.
Peachtree Transcription, LLD - anyone ever worked there?
Just wondered how it is working there? Is it a fair place?
I have a friend looking to work from home, and she's new at this.
I'm telling her to really do her homework and not be afraid to ask around how it has been to work for the different companies before she invests a whole lot of $$$.
One co I went with drove me into bankrupcy before I could get out. OUCH>
Peachtree Transcription, LLD - anybody know of this company?
They are in Atlanta. Say they pay by the Minute. Not sure what that means.
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think Peachtree is in business anymore. sm
I worked for them on 2 accounts, both which went to Keystrokes. I moved with one to Keystrokes and what a great company! I never knew that the BS from Peachtree was not normal. I am much happier, get paid on time and do not have to worry about taxes or the moody owner at PTS or his pets.
Any info on Peachtree? Offered position there
I was offered a position at Peachtree today. Does anyone have any info on this company? Easy to work with or not, pay on time, easy platform, flexible with appointments, etc? Thanks for any and all information, as I couldn't find much in the old posts. Thanks!
Info about Peachtree and New England Medical please?
Any recent information about these two companies would be appreciated.
Peachtree Transcription Assoc...anyone have any recent info? Not much in the archieves
I saw that they pay by the minute...is that good, bad? Never been paid that way before. All I know about them is that they hire IC only...if that is still the case?
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.
