I smell sour grapes and it stinks. Amphion is the nicest place I've ever worked since I started working at home in 1989.

no computer or equip rental fees, but no more

Rental is $20 month. Period. sm
I've never been asked to switch to a different shift. If you want a different account, talk to your supervisor and see if something else is available.

Good people, good pay, good job.
Yes, no equip supplied...nm

that's why I would never EVER use my personal equip for any
that's what you get for using your own stuff.
Same as this poster says and I use their equip (nm).

no PTO for Flex PT. Yes, they provide equip. nm

Rental Fee

Amphion charges $10 per pay period/$20 per month for computer rental.  HTH.


They hire FT only. Need a second phone line. Might have to rent/lease equip. from them. nm

looking for transcription co that needs at-home part-timers and provides equip/software

Does anyone know of a transcription company that needs part-time at-home transcriptionists and provides equipment and/or software?  Thanks!

does amphion charge rental fee
cannot answer this question but as to your line rate, you could make 9 cents if you worked an afternoon or night shift with Transcend, but they are switching to voice recognition, so dont know what they are going to pay for editing!!! Try Webmedx, they pay for experience and apparently have work. You might make that much with a differential at amphion as well. try their website, they are in wisconsin.
Also no computer rental fees!

MQ does not charge a deposit or rental

I interviewed with them and told there is, I believe, a $20 rental
fee for a year, but if you are still there at the end of a year employment they refund the rental fees.
Equipment rental from employer
I cannot seem to find any information on this...if I am paying my employer a monthly computer rental fee, is that amount taxable or nontaxable on my paycheck?  TIA
Does Amphion charge a computer rental fee

What are their usual starting rates for 15 years acute care experience with OP preference, at least 8 specialties, about 210 to 220 lph, and used to working very heavy ESL?  Wondering if anyone has started over 8.5 or 9.


I agree with no rental fees, weekly pay (sm)
helpful QA and not rudeness, understanding when unable to work, great training and none of this "As I stated" BS. I have left more than one company simply due to QA rudeness. It is rampant out there. Also, for 10 years exp, I expect at least 9-10 cpgl, not 65-character. Now that is a ripoff IMO.
Anyone with NetMed? If so, do you still have to pay a rental fee for software/equipment? nm

If it is reasonable rental fee and you get your deposit back, not

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


$$ per month

I am trying to compare nationals versus working at a hospital.  Please respond if you have time. 


For all of you working for a national, what do average making per month?  How many hours per day?  Do you work for one doctor, a clinic, or a hospital? 


I, personally, would like to make $2500 to $3000 per month but don't.  Is that unrealistic?  Currently, I only average around $1800 and this is with no benefits; I have flexibility but no benefits. 


What transcripton platform do you guys find to be the most productive for you?


I realize you can't have everything, but you do have to live; also, I am trying to stay home because of my son, i.e., taking him to school, being there for school functions, sport's activities, etc. 


$$ per month
I make around 5-6K per month and have done so for 4 years running. I work around 45 hours a week with rotating accounts. I do get a high line rate of 12.5 per 65-character line.
A MONTH! What do they tell you when you
call or email them? I'm not waiting a month. I was hoping to get started this week as it is a new pay period and all. Wow. Good luck to you.
about a month

Exactly - that's why every month...sm
when they post the anniversaries there are plenty of employees with the company with 1-27 year anniversaries. 
In my second month with MW on EXT..sm
I have had very few issues. For the most part the sound quality is good. A couple bad docs but that is par for the course for a facility that size. Several ESL but some of them are better than the English-speaking I have done in past! I have had no issues making lines if I stay on-task **grin** I am happy I went with them. Hope this helps.....
Been there almost a month now -sm
I don't mind it at all. It didn't take me long to get used to everything. I did get paid and I think fairly. I check my line counts in my own way and I've found them to be perfectly accurate.

Every job is going to have difficult dictators. You know what they say, there's one in every crowd (okay maybe with doctors, there's more than one), but you'll have that anywhere.

They're extremely professional and treat you the same. I agree with the other poster, don't expect anybody to hold your hand there. So if you can stand on your own 2 feet, go for it.
P.S. I pay about $200/month

for two people and this is the highest end insurance (BC/BS PPO) through my hospital.   


I was with them for about a month and during that month
I had maybe one week of work. The rest I was out. Pay was so so. QA was a little strange about fixing things that were not wrong to begin with (changing six weeks to six week when it should have stayed weeks). I am still puzzling over that one. Anyway, more often than not, QA was wrong, but you could not tell them that.
it's the 1st of the month after your - sm
90 days are up.   So if you got hired Feb 15 then your insurance would kick in on June 1
Just in the last month
there was a post here about someone not being paid. My experience is from a couple of years ago, but in the two years since, I've seen posts here from time to time from people complaining about not being paid. Search the posts from the last month...you'll see someone just complaining about not being paid by them.
$26/month -- nm

I got one of those too a month ago or so
I believe this is from the same joint that is recruiting for the sQuid. I was tempted to look into it at the time but I had heard that the health insurance benefits offered by *S* had gone down the crapper. If you're interested, I'm sure you have nothing to lose. It would be nice if you could get job details without having to spend hours on testing first.
Was she AC for only a month or somebody else?
?
last month it was

Transtech was the greatest. This month's featured flavor -- Keystrokes. I am getting whiplash watching the stampede from place to place.


 


Been there just over a month
and I LOVE it. My production has doubled from that of my old job (I am now doing at least 2500 lines a shift). The pay is always on time and is direct deposited. I have a great ER account and always have tons of work. They did get a ton of new accounts recently, and that is why the have been hiring lots. I would recommend them to anyone.
I pay less than $200 a month
Hospital employee status through Diskriter. Different plans with different rates are available (depending on which hospital), but I have the most expensive choice available from my hospital(PPO).
that would be *A* month. sorry

13,500 A MONTH? (SM)
Can you please share how many hours you put in to make this much? Where do you work?
14,500 a month....nm

once a month pay
I'm afraid I don't trust employers that only pay once a month. That tells me they have to get paid before they can pay their employees. That's never a good sign.
I was there 1 month...sm
...and still on QA @ 7 cpl...I have 20+ years experience.  You will starve working for these people.
