DSG ROCKS!
Pay on time, good accounts, love my supervisor!
me too! KS rocks!
They are by far the most honest, caring company in the industry.
AND....Medware ROCKS for me!!! Not sure what
your problem was, but I get two emails a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. They totally leave me alone, but are there immediately when I need something.

I worked for a company that tossed out useless emails all day and night, so this is like a breath of fresh air.

Team mail does not bother me at all because I just work away and pay no attention to it. Guess you are easily distracted. But the team mail is great for those who use it.
Omniscribe Rocks!
Okay, so the subject of this messages says it all. I have not been with Omniscribe for very long, just a few months, but I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 10 years and have worked for a few different companies. I would highly recommend this company to any new or established medical transcriptionist. I LOVE the account I work on and really love the flexibility offered by this company. Yes, they DEMAND high quality, (the highest standards I have come across to date), but I would not have it any other way. Kresta is a fair and delightful person to work for and I would suggest if you are looking for a great company to work for...look no further. Note to the flamer of the negative post, to quote Shakespeare The lady doth protest too much, me thinks. (smirk). D
Keystrokes rocks!
It's sad to hear some of you had negative experiences with Keystrokes but I haven't one single complaint. Plenty of rad work. When I kept running out of work a few months ago, I requested and got a backup account in less than a few weeks.

All my leads are awesome!
AXOLOTL ROCKS!!! NM

CARDIOSCRIBES ROCKS!
I completely agree with Krissy. This is the first job I have LOVED in over a decade. The company is great and it truly has a family feel to it. The problem is that the MTs who ARE happy to be working for Cardiscribes don't have time to reply to every insane response on this forum. Most of us are happy and well-adjusted, and quite frankly too busy with our work to respond to such negativity.
Keystrokes rocks! (nm)

Axolotl ROCKS! Love working for them! nm

Amen!! Lifelong Steeler fan!! Rothlesberger rocks!!
LOVE THE STEELERS!!!
OSI rocks. Easy lines. 900+ in 4 hours - now wish i would have stayed with them. nm

My company rocks. Got an E-mail today from our manager about cherry picking (sm)

stating they noticed jobs were getting cancelled  once and sometimes twice by same person and that the more difficult dictators were getting picked over.  They stated it would not be tolerated and cherry pickers would  be addressed and possibly terminated. 


I know this is a huge undertaking and may not always get 100% done, but at least they are aware and taking a stand.  Perhaps the guilty people will grow up and take the time to learn those dictators now.  We all know that some of those horrible ESL say virtually the same thing over and over. 


I am just happy that they, once again, prove they are trying to look out for the MTs and MEs and see that we are all treated fairly and equally.  I have been very happy with Webmedx up to this point and now even more so.


All the years I worked for MQ, they knew it happened and I don't think made any attempt to address it.  At WMX at least they must be monitoring it or they wouldn't know the same person kicked the same job back more than once.  


 


 


Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback.  Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program.  My pay is what they said.  They do have different pay for different levels. 
Amphion

Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now?  I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful.  Anyone know their toll-free number? 


Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report?  Range of pay? 


Amphion does

Amphion uses this for their platform!



?? about Amphion please
Their website says they check references which could hurt you at your present job.  How do they handle that?  Also do they pay more if you do work nights and weekends?  Thank you.
Amphion pay
8.5 cents but good luck getting there, you need 4 quarters of 100% QA.

AMPHION
Amphion
and how do you get hired?
Amphion
No, they only hire as employee status. Good company though. Lots of work.
Amphion
I work for Amphion now.. GREAT company... Their pay scale differs on what level you are but where I am is 0.78 line to 0.81 line depending upon quality. That is for multispeciality. Acute care I believe is more...
Amphion
They use ESP word Expander for Microsoft Word and they do count spaces. I work there and think they are absolutely wonderful people to work for... No doubt..
Amphion pay?
Would anyone who works for Amphion mind sharing what their average pay per hour works out to? Considering them, but also worried the money might not be there.
Amphion
Amphion seems like a good company, but I wonder if the money is there. Their pay structure seems vague.
Amphion
Ditto! Nice staff, but questioning if it will be possible to ever make a living working for this company.
Amphion
No Radiology Accounts
Amphion
Try Amphion. I start with them tomorrow and so far I have been treated like a queen!!!!!
Amphion
I actually just tested for them today. I haven't heard anything back though. How long did it take them to conctact you after you completed the test?

Aren't they great! I work for them also.

Amphion
Amphion is great!
Amphion
Anyone heard of this company?  Hoped I spelled it correctly.  I'm wanting to find out a little about them before testing.  Thanks.
Amphion
If you have high speed internet go for it. I know some quality people who work there and I think they are reputable.
Amphion is
They are needing a lot of help for bigger accounts coming on live.  Training people everyday.  If you know what's out there, come on for a place to work that's great.  They were a small company, sold out, then bought themselves back again.  Wow! 
Amphion
Does anyone know what  Amphion's guidelines are for part time status, i.e. do you have to work a certain number of hours or produce so many lines?  TIA  
Is anyone from Amphion having
We are supposed to do 1200 lines a day and it's very hard to do with this company.  Does anyone else have trouble and can they give hints to help me and another friend pick up production?
Amphion

Can anyone tell me anything about Amphion (good, bad or indifferent)?  Do they have health benefits?  How is the platform?  How flexible are they?  Do they have an incentive/bonus structure? 


Thanks for opinions.


Amphion
I do a Tuesday through Saturday schedule with Amphion because I like to have Sunday and Monday off.
Amphion

Can someone tell me how Amphion distributes work?  Do you have to pick up one job at a time, or do they dump work to your computer?  TIA.


Amphion
.........
Amphion again
Just wondering some specifics as to why you are having a bad experience.
Amphion
Very nice people but the account they seem to continually be hiring for is a nightmare as far as extra clerical stuff the MT is required to take care which you do not get paid for. Generally these are issues with entering demographics, along with carbon copies. I could easily spend 10 minutes on that and not even typed one line. With very easy dictators I went from an average of 200+ lines an hour to 75-100 max, and I am very familiar with ExText so it was definitely not a learning curve for the platform. They also gave me the impression I should be thrilled they were paying me $10/hr during the training period. That seemed like a red flag that maybe a lot of their MTs didn't make much money. I also did not think to ask in advance but only like 3 or 4? of their MTs actually make the top of the scale that they quote. It is based on quality and I wasn't worried about it until I heard how few MTs actually get that top salary, so that is another thing to check out before accepting a position. My feeling is if you don't have a lot of experience it is probably a good company to get your feet wet at, but not the place for an experienced MT.
Amphion
Thanks for all the info. Really useful. I have just posted a separate question on another company, OSI, above. Any thoughts?
Amphion
I AM NOT MANAGEMENT. I am a fairly new employee who happens to like this company after working for several other nationals. Why can't anyone be happy anymore?
Amphion

I rarely come to this board and just to take a peek at what is going on every once in a blue moon because I have other things that are far more important.  However, I also work for Amphion and have been extremely happy with the way I'm treated by my supervisor, manager and on up the ladder.  When you are low on work, it is partly your responsibility to ask your supervisor for a backup account instead of whining on these boards.  Amphion and other transcription companies are vendors.  Some accounts are solely done by the vendor and other accounts get the back log from hospitals, clinics, etc.  The supervisors are always available to answer questions (though some days are definitely worse than others if there are many emails to go through from everyone or phone calls from the accounts).  I always get my questions answered in a very timely fashion if not by day's end for sure.


We all have our gripes about the place we work from time to time, but let me ask you this.... Have you ever taken part of the blame yourself?   Do you call in sick all the time or change your schedule so your supervisor (at Amphion or elsewhere) can't count on you to do the work per the contract they signed?  We all have a life outside of work and should be very glad to work at home, but the outside stuff has to wait if you set a schedule and give that to your supervisor.  If we went to an office during the day, everything would have to wait.  Businesses are in business to make money, and hire us to help them make that money.  Maybe Amphion hire because of the certain few MTs out there refuse to work a set schedule that MT gave the supervisor when they signed on and need coverage.  I have never had Amphion tell me what hours to work.  I gave them hours that fit my life and it works.  Communication is key especially if we are all over the US.


I have worked for other services, and I can tell you, Amphion far and away blows all of them out of the water.  Some may not agree, but I do know others that do agree with me.  It's called give and take, not take, take, take by the MT and give nothing in return.  Others that have never worked for Amphion do not know the ins and outs so have no reason to gripe at all on these boards about Amphion.  I work my hours/lines, get paid on time, work extra when asked, get questions answered in a timely fashion and know that I am doing my best.  I also know they are doing the best they can for their MTs and can hardly wait to see more and more positives down the road.   Those that do gripe on these boards and do work or have worked for Amphion are blaming the company and not looking at themselves for part of the blame.  If something doesn't feel right about the account you are on, low on work, etc., contact your supervisor instead of stewing about it and then blasting them on these boards.  That is not fair to you or the company.


Amphion
I'm looking for info on Amphion, good or bad. I have called and talked to a woman in human resources and got a lot of information from her. So, anyone care to add anything before I apply?
Amphion does
