Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
any info on Amphion please
thinking about going with them at this time but need some positive insight if I can get it.
info on Amphion or Webmedx.
Work load?  Are they going VR?  Pay for clinic?  Do they supply computers? good, bad??
Okay, don't be harsh, need info on Amphion, sm

saw the posts from below, not happy, but not enough for me to say hey or nay. Where I am coming from I know it can't be worse but I really want a good fit. Thanks for all who can inform me.


 


amphion layoff info anyone?
that is what inquiring minds want to know - specifics
Any current info on MD-IT and Amphion?
Archives don't seem to turn up anything recent on either company and I am not sure if that is good or bad.
Anyone have info on Amphion or Northeast Transcription Inc?

What are they like to work for?  Thanks!


Can anyone give any updated info on Amphion? sm

Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them.  I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change.  I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family.  I currently work EVERY Saturday.  Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay. 


I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.


I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care.  Other important things to consider in my search is benefits.  The health insurance at my current company is very expensive. 


Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.


 


Amphion-any recent info. Interested in a position there!
nm
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. 
Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!


Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 


Thanks!


Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!
nm
Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages.  Have things changed for the better here?  Is there steady, reliable work?  Able to make any decent money?  Thanks!
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?

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?
