AAMT is Synthescribe .....
These 2 companies are 1 in the same. I know, I worked there for 5 months and when they lost an account they fired all of us. They transitioned the name All American Medical Transcription back in November. They do have direct deposit and they did pay me, but they make rules and changes very abruptly. Personally, I would stay away!
Did anyone hear from AAmT aka Synthescribe and proceed on..Just curious
how it's going and if your set up to work with them etc. Considering going forward to check it out but wanted to check with others first. Thanks
I believe AAMT guidelines is 65 chars. with spaces. Maybe go to aamt.org and see if you can

Synthescribe
Can anyone give positive/negative comments on Synthescribe.
Synthescribe
No, Heather works for Synthescribe America in Tennessee. The Synthescribe you are talking about is Synthescribe, Inc. located in the Phillipines that requires a photo ID. Two totally different companies. Look them up on the internet.
Synthescribe
I was hired for that company and quit after a week. There is no way I would go back to working for that place. They are embarrassed of their reputation on this board because everybody is telling the TRUTH about them. I hope somebody else starts telling the TRUTH about them on the other board. They probably could not get anybody to come work for them because of all of the negative feedback!!!
Synthescribe
The Synthescribe person has the initials of HR who the recruiter is working with....
Synthescribe QA
How many reports are you averaging per day (QA)? Is there a required daily quota? Are the reports of decent quality or are there tons of corrections? Are you being paid on time? Direct deposit?
Thanks
Synthescribe QA
Any current QA folks care to comment on promptness of payment? Are you being paid accurately and on time with this company?
Thanks.
It's Synthescribe
It's also known as Synthescribe
Synthescribe
I have yet to receive my W2 from Synthescribe, and the time is getting late. Has an previous employees received a W2 yet? I am really anxious, as there is no way to contact the now defunct company whose owner's name is or was Tammy Johnson. Can anyone help me? I'm wondering if she is planning to send W2s. I believe they fired all of us in April or Feb 08.
Synthescribe America in TN
The company is located out of Tennessee and not the Phillipines.
Heather at synthescribe
I do not like outsourcing at all - I certainly do not want to work for one either.
Synthescribe editors, please!
Are any of you up to 80 reports per 8 hour shift? If so, how are you doing that? I am new as an Editor for them, and just wondering how you manage to get the 80 reports. Any pointers would be great! Thanks..........
I know for a fact, this is SYNTHESCRIBE

Looking for information on Synthescribe of America out of TN....

This company is Synthescribe of America

Synthescribe has taken to another board to recruit
One of their employees is all over another board recruiting and getting 100 bucks per referral. Thats just pitiful.
Synthescribe uses "several" names....
Synthescribe, Allusmts, All American Medical Transcription, etc. Who knows how many other names they also have to try and get MTs to apply with them because of their very bad reputation.
I had HORRIBLE experience with them when they hired me back in December of this past year. They had this huge orthopedics account they needed help desperately on, but when they got the work all caught up, they fired or laid off everybody. The QA manager was so mean and nasty. She send the ugliest e-mails. Found out she left or got fired also after being there for 11 years.
The company is very sneaky with their MTs and you cannot trust them at all. I would STAY FAR AWAY from them. They know how to screw the MT and the client!!!
The one recruiting is "friends" with the synthescribe person sm
and has a full time job making good money. i miss your point??
Since it is the same as Synthescribe, dont bother waiting.
You would probably not like it anyway.
Seems unethical to me to change a company name because you got bad feedback about being an Indian company.

Ad posted by Heather Rigsby for Synthescribe requests
you send a 2 x 2 picture of yourself. Is this legal? They have an office in the Phillipines, which would prevent me for applying to start with, but I certainly wouldn't apply to any company that requests a picture of me first.
Opinions please. We have established that Synthescribe and All American Transcription are ran by the
same CEO/COO..So, previously when I considered applying at Synthescribe, I was put off by the negative feedback left here so I didn't apply. Then, comes a new company, AATS, which we soon figured out was being started by the same person running Synthescribe. I am tempted to apply, but if it's the same CEO/COO, shouldn't I heed the warnings of the MTs who say not to do it. I'm confused. Part of me wonders if I shouldn't give them a try, but I think I'd be more apt to do that had it been a new company with different management. Something about a leopard not changing its spots....What's your opinion? Would you try it? Thanks
If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
Nothing much... can AAMT do anything?
x
She said AMA not AAMT, and (sm)
they will be taking American out of the name, as there is a committe in place to work on a name change for the organization.
AAMT
Not only is not AAMT not ashamed of what they do, they are PROUD of it! And MTs think AAMT cares about them? They're only in it for the money, kids.
AAMT
And you trust HIM? AAMT has gotten to be one of those companies who are out to make money, be it from India, Phillipines, who have you. Everything that falls from his mouth is NOT gold. Read 05/11/2006 post for notice on India trying to get him to come over - I would bet my bottom dollar this wouldn't be his first trip.
AAMT
How about if everyone quits supporting AAMT as in stop paying dues and stop signing up for their useless CMT exam? The only thing greed understands is cutting off their money. And as for the politicians, how about FIRING them? Useless bunch of scumbags anyhow. Republican or Democrat, they're all alike. We need a leader...anyone remember hearing about the Boston Tea Party? That worked then, it'll work now.
AAMT
As of right now, I am canceling. Was going to take their CMT test, but why can't another company be started or asked to create a CMT exam? Why is it only the AAMT that has the exam? I will no longer have anything to do with AAMT on a national or local basis. I have given them enough of my money for a magazine that comes four times a year and a discount to go to the national meeting. Big deal. It's not enough.
AAMT
One reason offering offshore membership is because they sre losing American MT members. Whole group needs to undergo complete change.
AAMT and CMT
In reality, the CMT does not open all that many doors. All companies care about is if you can get the job done properly and correctly. The CMT is nice but by no means necessary.
AAMT
If AAMT members really canceled rather than just talked about it, we might get somewhere. I know so many who just complain.
AAMT
You are SO right. AAMT needs to take an A out of their name. I dropped out years ago, after being certified for 15+ years, when what's-her-name spent her time flying around the country going to conventions, etc., on our increased dues money and the organization stopped dead in their tracks. AAMT never did anything for me, but I was proud of my certification (which means crap now). My work ethics and quality of my work are, and have been my own and the companies that I have worked for have been smart enough to realize that I am a person who knows what they are doing and that I take pride in my work. AAMT did not do that for me. I did that for myself and all AAMT did was give me a piece of paper that said basically the same thing. I am nearing the end of my job years and I'm glad because this job is NOT what it used to be and I believe with all my heart AAMT is largely to blame for lowering their standards, increasing their dues and not standing up for the integrity of CMTs in THIS country. They should have been fighting to keep transcription here and not allowed the travesty that happened to use to have gone unaswered. The companies who bought into this concept and the hospitals need to remember - you get what you pay for and the hospitals who are allowing sensitive, LEGAL documents to be shipped overseas to people who can't even spell USA let alone understand anyone from here, are going to find their little backside cheeks bitten some day and it can't happen too soon. And for the future reference, I ALWAYS bought Dell. No more. My American dollars go to American made products. My local guy made my last computer. I know the components were probably made in a sweatshop somewhere, but I get an English-speaking person when I call their place of business. AAMT and outsourcing companies, can bite me.
AAMT
AMEN, SISTER. I have been an MT for over 35 years and I cannot think of one thing that the AAMT has ever done for me. I am not a CMT; my college education, (at the time when English grammar and usage were still of paramount importance), and 4 years of high school Latin got me my first MT job. That, plus a lot of hard work on my part, continues to get me jobs. I have worked at several facilities that never heard of AAMT and many others that wouldn't have paid me a penny more if I was certified. I don't care what rhetoric AAMT wants to use as far as MT being a respeceted profession and all that garbage. The fact is we are still the ladies in the typing pool as far as most clients are concerned and we are treated as such paid accordingly. AAMT has done nothing to try to change this image and I am actually making less money now than I was 10 years ago. AAMT is all about money...for it, not for us. As far as I'm concerned, it belongs in the same category as the rest of the big corporations out to screw the American Worker any way they can. Yet we can't blame it all on AAMT. We, to some extent, are responsible for what has happened to us. Right now, there is a lot of talk about doing things to try and remedy our situation because of Heartland. There has been a lot of talk before and nothing has come of it. I do hope this time people will do what they are saying they will do and write to politicians, letters to editors, etc. Michael Moore is making his next film about the healthcare industry and is asking for horror stories on his web site. I sent him 12 pages a a couple months ago. Also, do most of you know that you can join the National Writer's Union (www.nwu.org)? I am a member and feel that the cost of joining and paying the dues are well worth it, particularly because I can get health insurance through it. The NWU would like to work on behalf of MTs, but there are very few MTs who belong to it. No matter how you may feel about unions, you must agree that we need as many people and organizations on our side as we can ge right now. I do not have lot of faith in the politicians at this point, and none whatsoever in the current adminstration in Washington DC. By all means, write the politicans, but don't expect too much from them. I think letters to editors, and I am talking A LOT of letters to A LOT of papers, are a better idea. Hospital and clinic admistrators read the papers, as do their medical staff. Here are a couple useful sites: www.usnpl.com and www.refdesk.com. Also, you might want to talk to the newspeople at your local TV stations. Here's hoping that THIS TIME we can make enough noise to get the hearing that we have needed and deserved for so long.
Who says so? The AAMT?
THEY say who can and can't be certified? THEY say they're the only ones who can give certification? THEY say you're not certified unless you do it through them (AAMT)? Big, fat, hairy deal!!!!!!!!!! I say, screw 'em! They have no control over my life. They can't tell me what I can and can't call myself. I'll call myself The Queen MT if I freakin' feel like it--and there's not a dam* thing they can do about it! I have had it up to HEEEEEEEEEEERE with the AAMT!!!!!!!!!! Sheesh.
AAMT
Yea to everybody canceling.
Had it with the AAMT
Me, too. I voted with my wallet and left. I encourage all others who are against offshoring to do the same. Why finance the hand that is helping to slash your job?
AAMT
I did think AAMT was a day late and a dollar short, and I only posted that so those that would like to participate, can. I pulled my membership and heard from their president today which is how I got the information on the webinar.
AAMT and HIS
If you had been following what was going on, you would know that most of us are not blaming AAMT for the problems with HIS. However, many of us are upset about AAMT expanding into the off shore market, and considering offering credentials to people in other countries. I for one feel that if they title themselves American, they should stay American. And while I have no prejudice against people from ANY country, I find it very upsetting that an organization that wants to promote American MTs is seriously looking into promoting our competition. When an organization starts taking food from my table, they lose my support. If you choose to support them until you no longer have a job, that is your privilege. I wish you luck with it.
AAMT
So who ever said AAMT was interested in what we need? As far as I'm concerned, they're completely useless to us MTs and have always been on the hospital's side. That's why I've refused to even consider certification.
AAMT BOS
I have never worked for a company that has completely used the BOS... Most accounts have their own specifics, if it is verbatim, then that's how it is typed.. I have tried using the BOS but when push comes to shove what the account specifics says is what they want even if it is against what the BOS says. The BOS is really useless when the accounts want verbatim
THE NEW AAMT
I cannot force myself to speak or type their new and improved international name. Everyone who read this post, cancel your membership! We have had enough of being the workhorses for these money-grabbing NAFTA lovers. I refuse to QA offshored work; I refuse to work for any company affiliated with them in any way. I refuse to buy their nonsensical publications. I refuse to let their judgment control me and my practice. No more support from nana! I hope they fall on their two faces. Maybe we need a new American organization that works for us instead of against us? Hopefully, that would be one that aims for affordable education, affordable publications, integrity, and the best patient care in the world here in America.
AAmT
I was supposed to get a return call last week by someone named Heather - as soon as she got off another line- I'm still waiting. Things like this make me crazy - don't think I would deal with them now. I like stability, integrity, etc.
AAmT
Tennesee Orthopaedics
AAMT No More.
Not AAMT anymore. Not American ANYTHING. Now the Association for Healthcare Document Integrity, and the world's largest organization working to advance...
Which basically reads: the Indians own us now.
AAMT....
AAMT was supposed to be looking out for our interests, maybe not union, but instead, they have sold us down the river and will let anyone outside the US become a member, just so they pay up their dues!!!! Why even bother putting American in the title of their company.
AAMT
I was just recently hired by All American Medical Transcription. I have searched for archives on this company but keep getting American Medical Transcription Services. The one I'm wanting info about is located in Nashville, Tennessee. Does anyone have any info about this company, whether good or bad. Thanks!
The AAMT
or whatever it calls itself these days has NEVER done anything but American MTs except take our money. We can do better. Why would you support an organization that stabs you in the back?
Was medware the AAMT
company of the year, or am I confusing it with another company?
