Any info on SmartMed vs Keystrokes?
If anyone has any information on SmartMed I would appreciate it, (having enough work, pay, etc).  Trying to decide between SmartMed and Keystrokes for radiology accounts.  Thanks!
Need current info about SmartMed....

How is the platform for Radiology...anyone know?  Posting on Job Seekers board is for $1.139 per report....is this good or low?  Any other information would be wonderful....thanks!


Probity, QED or MTS of Texas...any current info??..sm
I am trying to decide between these three.  They all have good and bad, but just wanting to not get burned again.  Any current info on any of these?  Thanks.
Any new info on editing for SmartMed out of Humble, TX? sm
Do they offshore?  Is pay on time?  Good, bad or ugly?  TIA.
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
Any current info on SmartMed? I saw something about the platform not being sm
user friendly, but otherwise not too much.  Their pay scale seems to be good, but she did say it is for a teaching hospital, so that probably means 95% ESLs.  Anyway, any insight is appreciated.  Thanks!
Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?

I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is.  Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?


Any info on Archivus of NC or EFD Transcription of Texas? Good/Bad? TIA. nm

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!

MTS of Texas
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.
