what is the eSmartMed curriculum about? Has anyone taken the curriculum courses and gone through the internship, and then hired by them? I am curious about this.

Regard deposit
The deposit for the equipment is $250, but like stated before payments are in installments. $25 to $35 per pay period. You should try them. They are a good company to work for. No underlying discrepancies occur there.
With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now. You are right on both counts - 
Also KS Question in this regard...(sm)
It is my understanding KS does not pay shift differential, bonuses for working on days off, etc. In other words, if you are already making the maximum lines per day that you can, there is no real incentive to work days off, etc. I may be wrong about this, so it would be helpful if a KS person could confirm/deny this. Have they ever had an incentive program in the past but it didn't work out? Not trying to cause any problems here, just interested....
With regard to insurance premiums, sm
Who would you say has the best insurance to offer, at a reasonable price. I am currently paying about $500 for family coverage per month; that does not include dental and vision. It is probably another 100 a month.
Also, what companies out there provide the equipment; including computer and software?
With regard to that on-site training
Does SS pay for travel expenses, including lodging, meals, etc? Or does the MT have to pay out of pocket?
Seeking info regard DaVenture
sorry about my mistake...guess I should pay more attention to how I spell company names...they just might hold it against me!!!!!
Except - if things change with regard to offshoring,
hiring an American union member may be the most cost-effective way to go.
Making offshoring undesirable and EXPENSIVE should also be on MTs' agendas, this coming year.
Regard CC Transcription, Carol Joyce...sm
She has promptly paid my invoice. This matter is closed by me. Please email CC Transcription if you have any questions or problems with anything. I am no longer an IC with her company and if anyone has any questions, please contact the company. Thank you.
Feeling clueless in regard to MT platforms such as Extext, etc. sm
I have always worked with MS Word and WordPerfect. Had my own clients for many years, as well as working for MTSO as an IC. I have never worked on a transcription platform such Extext or any of the other common platforms. I am well versed in working digitally with FTP, TASP, etc. I currently work for a service and continue to work strictly in MS Word and FTP transfer. I worry about this lack of experience with these platforms What can I do to educate myself in the event I choose to go with a large national who uses a MT platform? Quite honestly, I have never even used a shortcut program other than auto correct in MS Word because I have very, very few repetitive dictations, as I type many different specialties and doctors, who each has their own style and format required (mainly teaching and research hospital) Thanks for any ideas.
I can't remember where I first heard this line, but with regard to AHDI.... sm
Remember, the court-appointed psychiatrist is not your friend.
What is their policy with regard to weekend work, and do they supply equipment?
Thanks.
The long rant was in regard to Cassie on Guiding Light.
Try Googling Cassie Long transcription.
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.

SmartMed vs Keystrokes
Thanks for answering. It's nice to hear positive things about someone who actually works there (Keystrokes).
Never heard of TSI, Inc. either (SmartMed). Any other information would be greatly appreciated.
It isn't SoftMed, it is SmartMed
