Are the ones who lost their main hospital on 6/3. Good for them. Not great for the rest of us. :(

no it starts with an L and most people sm
are gonna say I am crazy. I will say this, the platform is good, the account is good, but the communication IS AWFUL. I think a month is long enough. I went with this company because I hadn't found anything bad on them. But since this has happened I have gotten four e-mails from people who worked for them or were getting ready to go to work for them and decided not to because the communication was bad, bad BAD!!
These people say they are desperate and want people NOW and then they do this. They can't be too desperate although the account I had was back up til March. So you would think they would get their stuff together and be a little more organized. No way to run a company if you ask me.
Most of the people that I have seen asked off of an acct were not on QA
as they had been taken off a long time ago. QA can only catch what goes through it. Several of the MTs that are on our account do multitudes of work and when you look at what has been sent without blanks, sometimes it is sickening. QA can only correct what is sent to them. Some companies are too fast to take someone off of QA and then those folks speed on through without caring what they send to the hospital. Several have gotten caught at that game and those are the ones who have been asked to be taken off the account. If those had gone through QA it never would have happened. I know our QA staff has requested certain MTs (whose work we have seen in the database) be put back on 100% QA and if the co won't do it, we can't do it. That's how that happens.

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
Hosp's. would HAVE to pay more if we could stem
by continuing to sound off to anyone in this country that will listen. Why should the US worker subsidize offshore companies by sitting and watching their futures in MT dry up?
No ESL's? Maybe a clinic, but never a hosp or MTSO.
In this business, it'd be rare to find an account/hospital/MTSO without ESLs. It's part of reality. And keep in mind that whitebread docs can be worse that ESLs, by far. If you REALLY don't want to do ESLs, cruise the clinics in your vicinity, interview each doc to listen to them speak (ideally get them to do a test dictation for you), and make them an offer they can't refuse.
Seriously, though, you might look for companies that have midwest accounts/are located in the midwest, as the ESL ratio often is lower in the midwest states.
And if that doesn't work out you might look into legal transcription. Anyone notice that there seem to be fewer ESL lawyers than doctors? Lol....
If a lot of MTs, hosp. personnel, & docs are on all

Does anyone know what services the Hosp. of Univ. of Pa. uses or who to contact there for info of MT
work.
ho ho ho but the hosp can play Russian Roulette w/going to court with
Those medical records became cheaper for hospitals how? When they go to court with those expensive incorrect records and LOSE, wonder if they think it was cheaper?
If things don't work out,, the Diskriter FL Hosp position (sm)
Pays for downtime when work runs out and benefits are pretty decent.
Glad to hear things are better. Hang in there. I know how hard it can be... this profession just isn't what it used to be.
Good luck to you!!

x
okay, i think it starts...
at 1,100 lines per day, but I am not sure what the rate is. You can email them and I am sure they will get back with you. They were helpful when I was hired.
Not really. The pay is what they tell you but not everyone starts at the same sm
level. It is based on the account, the type of account, the platform, the hours, your experience. The communication is great but some people do not understand that it can take a few days to back to someone; there are a lot of things going on at the office. The workload everyone agrees on because they really work hard to make sure that you have enough work. Health insurance? No surprises there either. They have Unicare, which is OK but not the best and expensive but no more than most other companies. In fact, my husband's company and my sister's company (neither are transcription jobs) have much more expensive insurance. KS is working on it but they keep us up to date as they find out information.
Are they perfect? No. No company is but they have improved steadily without going backwards.
Yes there are other good companies, probably lots of them. Unfortunately, there are lots of bad ones too and most of us have either been burned or burnt out by other companies.
My fear is that the owners will sell KS. Once a company seems to be doing well with happy employees, one of the huge ones comes in and scoops them up; is this their way of eliminating their competition?
Probably starts with O?
Because I know that's the answer I was given when I questioned way back why my count never matched up to what I'd get when I counted characters extended in Word and divided by 65. Supposedly a certain percentage was taken off for headers/footers because we don't get paid for these, but even counting those and deducting, it's still taking off way more than the headers and footers would account for. I really don't know why I stay.
Everyone starts at 8 cpl now and can go up to
9.5 cpl after 90 days based on difficulty of account and quality of work.
pay starts at 0.06 cpl....sm
No matter how much experience you have and they are now using eScription and that da**# VR and they pay 3 cpl for that. You have to type like a certain number of lines to move up to the highest pay of 0.09 cpl. That is retarded! 
So what happens if everyone starts doing
the same. Seriously, do you think a transcription company has tons of work to go around and chooses not to spread it around? Not likely. Chances are, the MTSO had very little work on that account and instead of it going to first come, first serve, she demanded it be routed to her because if not she would quit. I think I'm just going to start demanding things, too.

They are IC only, starts at about 0.06/65-char; too low for me! nm

One of the new ones is definitely internet. I think it starts sm
October 15th or November 1st. The account is going to need 25-35 MTs to run smoothly, so it will be a nice one!
This is how misinformation starts
Do you know for a fact that this is happening at this company? Do you work there? Just because someone asks a question on this board that really should be asked of her superivisor doesn't mean that the company is doing something wrong. This is an example of how the negativity on this board spreads and perpetuates. Many people on this board are mighty quick to jump to conclusions, and it can be very misleading.
One Word - starts with Y
YUCK!
I bet company starts with a "T"...nm
nm
The national that starts with an S.
I am wondering if the message regarding Spheris, stating that should they want an MT to go, sabotage of their work may take place, could be elaborated on.
It is important that I stay with this job. I have BC and ins. is an issue and honestly, I love it. But, it is very stressful for me to work under these conditions.
If I thought that there was a possibility that the more hostile arm of my management team could retype my work to include an error that would place the patient in jeopardy, just so they could get rid of me, I would take action now.
I would like to know if ex employees who left with heavy hearts would e-mail me confidentially and anonymously to let me know how they came to the conclusion that the sups were brutal and ruthless.
Is this by any chance a company that starts with "M"??? nm
x
Starts you off much lower than her ad shows. nm
s
another with low counts on this system starts with "T"
out of Texas.
Please be more specific about pay when someone starts working for you and this will never be a
problem again!
Axolotl has insurance that starts the first day of the
month are you are hired, so if you were hired today, your insurance would start December 1. Premiums reasonable. The pre-existing situation usually isn't an issue if you have had continuous insurance. Apply via website.
Mine starts with an S too, but no big email.

Supposedly starts 10/06 and will continue
into the 3rd quarter of next year. I would hope they would let us know, at the very least, which accounts are going first and a time frame for the rest of this year.
A Prayer for all MTs-Hope this starts out a good day for all
Bless all MTs this day, Dear Lord, and grant us work to do. Guide us in need to jobs with those who are really fair and true. Give us strength mind, body and spirit to pursue work which helps the human race; a profession that though behind the scenes, supports the health care pace. And keep us from discouragement when days are not so fine; remind the docs we listen to that humans are on the end of their line. And bless our hands, ears, eyes and hearts; on them pour out your care. But most of all, Lord, bless this board where we gather just to share.
Yes, they're in Florida. This is hourly QA. The pay starts low, but looks like sm
it works up to average rate. I don't see anything on their website about actual transcription, so I wondered what they were editing.
I believe everyone starts off at 8 cpl and usually reviewed in 90 days for an increase.
There is also incentive pay if you go over 1200 lines a day or 6000 in a pay period I believe. That is about all I know.
Svl kinds of software for many accounts. Pay starts at 8-9 cpl. Want

Sounds like my company - starts with T, ends with D.
No work to be found.
Axolotl's insurance starts in 30 days
Cost for family is less than $300 for medical, dental and vision with good coverage.
I am a lead on two accounts and if someone starts, no matter what day, I am available and sm
they know it. They have my contact information. That person definitely has someone that he/she can go to. Not sure why he/she is posting here instead.
