Reporters Transcription Center (RTC) has been awarded a service contract from the State of Maine. Working directly with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), RTC will provide transcription services for the office of Disability Determination Services (DDS) throughout the State. The contract has an initial term of one year and RTC anticipates there to be an additional two year extension. The estimated volume of transcription generated through the contract is projected to be 1 million lines annually.
One of the unique features of working with the Maine DHHS/DSS is that RTC will be one of the first companies to utilize the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Internet-based Electronic Records Express (ERE) for transcription delivery. Scott Mack, Director of Maine Disability Determination Services, explained that the ERE is an initiative by SSA and state Disability Determination Services (DDS) to offer electronic options for submitting health and school records related to disability claims. Having the ability to exchange information electronically ultimately benefits the patient because claims are processed much faster.
"The Social Security Administration, along with the Maine Disability Determination Services, is at the forefront of utilizing technology to make the exchange of medical information more efficient. We are pleased to be partnering with RTC, a company with the expertise and willingness to help us move forward in this endeavor," Mack said.
