Amphion guarantees it for 30 days. NM

Been here 4 months and average 250 lines per hour, sometimes 300.nm

I turned down a job with Amphion a few months ago
I see they advertise jobs here, and many people have positive things to say about them. Now I wonder if I should have taken that job. Can anyone tell me for sure whether they outsource or not? I'd like to go back and give them a try if they don't since I was offered the job at the time, but I don't know if they would offer me a job again. Thanks.
I love Amphion! I've only been there 2 months now....
but am very happy. They are extremely helpful. Any concerns I have had (which have been only minimal things) have been addressed very quickly. A week after I was on my account, I hadn't complained at all, but got an email from my boss that said they had decided that we had to do a little more info screen input so they were adding a 3% differential to my base pay for that account! The benefits are good. I would definitely consider them if I were you.
I started at amphion a couple of months ago
and I love it! I stay on the same account and never run out of work. They are BEGGING for overtime, which they do pay extra for. The people are so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend trying them out. Good luck.
There are no guarantees with any job. You might have
low ESLs, but you might get all of their dictation, there may be really sucky American dictators, you don't like the platform, you don't like management, etc. You can research to the nth degree and you think you know what you are expecting and it isn't that way at all. I've BTDT before coming to Axolotl. You just take your chances and hope for the best.
In ANY business, there are no guarantees. No

No company makes guarantees of course sm
but if you have been there over a year you can take FMLA and the policy says **usually** will be returned to former position. I can bet it would not be the same accounts unless they had vacancies on your old accounts.
I think what it boils down to is if they need people at the time you are ready to come back, they'll take you back, but there is always the possibility they might not.
Ugh .. I hope Keystrokes doesn't sell, but no guarantees nowadays. :( nm
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.
what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR
try READING the post.
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
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. 
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.

$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.
I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.
I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm
s
Are there any QAs out there that are getting paid by the hour at 15+/hour? If so, where are you and
how are the work conditions/requirements/benefits,etc?
For example, I count every hour on the hour with my job
and while I was posting here and also checking email in between I averaged $22 an hour for 2 hours, not bad for someone who is a) slow or b) does not have a lot of time in transcription work; therefore making me a prime candidate for VR.
hour
Anyone know of a service that pays by the hour for full-time and lets you work at home?
24-48 hour TAT and that's what they get....NM
x
For 13.50/hour to QA - um - no thank you
x
24-hour TAT
Many of you post about having a job with a 24-hour TAT and/or no scheduled times as long as the work gets done. Are there nationals that offer that or is it usually a local arrangement? I want to find something that doesn't have a specific shift, just letting me work as I fit it in during the day.
24-hour TAT
We actually have 48-hour TAT. I work for a local cardiology group in my area. We can work whenever we want as long as the work gets done within that amount of time. We can work weekends to make up for time during the week, etc.. That is the main reason I hate to give up my job. I could make a little more elsewhere, but I prefer the flexibility.
$10 less an hour
I was laid off from HIS about 2 years ago. I had quit Edix to go to work for HIS as it was a better job. When I was laid off, I was denied unemployment, as I had quit the prior job. I hope those of you who just got laid off have better luck with unemployment. It is estimated from previous employment, unless you have worked for HIS for 1 year.
Do I take a job that is -10 per hour? sm
I got a job offer already but it is $10 a hour less than I was making at Heartland as a QA. The only perk is the bennies. Do I take it? Even unemployment would pay more I think!
$20+ per hour for QA.........
which is what is should be! Do you realize the admission clerks or people that greet patients and input info into the computer can make 16 or more an hour for data entry type work?!?! Can everyone please start respecting themselves and this profession. It's really starting to upset me :(
$8 hour an hour
I hope I misunderstand your response. Are you saying $8 an hour is a fair wage for a professional MT? Furthermore a true IC should be compensated approximately 50% more than the going rate to cover taxes, lost benefits, time off, etc. If companies could not get MTs to work for 7-8 cents a line as ICs, then I truly think we would be in this position. Unfortunately, we have become the trailer trash of the medical field because some, not all, MTs are willing to settle for less than they are worth. I am wondering what the long-term consequence will be for this field. Certainly it will not attract the level of professionals it should.
Too low - more like $16-20 per hour. nm

24 Hour TAT
I don't know of any national companies, but have you tried local doctor's in your area? I have a 48 hour TAT for the 5 doctors that I work for. Good luck in your search.
Pay per hour
If you are an experienced MT (10 years) with Meditech, Dictaphone Extext experience, Word, and experienced in various programs to access voice files, what would be the hourly wage offered to you to work in-house in the state you currently live? Thanks.
12-24 hour TAT job
See the info. on LTS on the company board. I have worked there for 5 years, good people, pay on time, no spaces though; but you have about a 24 hour TAT, depends on when you get the sound files I guess off the FTP. I used to get my work at about 5pm, due back by 3:30 the next day (though some is due back by 10 a.m. due to it being picked up by the courier for delivery). I am now getting my voice files by 10 a.m. so I have at least 24 hour TAT (more actually). So it is a true IC job which is nice; you tell them how many minutes of work you want and then have it back to them the next day no later than 3:30 p.m. and everyone is happy. The only thing they ask is a little warning if you are not planning to work a day, week, whatever, the more notice the better. But good people and will work with you with emergencies, etc. They know life happens.
MDI-MD gives you a 24-hour TAT. nm
They are saying $8 to $9 per hour...
but this seems low to me. I was just wondering what the range was in different states or this would be the normal range for this position. Thanks.
at LEAST $30/hour
i was there last year and made at least that much without trouble.
I have a 12 hour
They set them up around dayshift or afternoon. I work a 12 hour window on dayshift and it is between 5AM and 5PM. Works perfect for my schedule around the house.
Pay by hour
I don't think I've ever heard of an MT being paid by the hour to work from home. Our small local hospital MTs work from home and they are paid per line. They are hospital employees. Even if you did find one willing to pay by the hour they probably wouldn't pay more than minimum wage. Very sadly when I started MT on-the-job training in a hospital, I was paid minimum wage and it looks like we're going to go full circle.
how much per hour?
i am trying to figure out the rates for speech editing relative to MT. I figure that at 8-8.5 cpl, i can make $20+ per hour with decent docs. but i haven no idea about speech - you say 5 cpl. can you make $20/hour at 5 cpl. that is 400 lines an hour - i sure couldn't type 400 lines. can you actually edit 400 lines per hour? wouldn't you like fall asleep after just reading and listening to reports for 4-5 hours. what happens if you miss stuff?
$10 hour + 7 cpl
Making at least that hourly, plus 7 cpl, plus employee status (PTO, holidays, blah blah blah.)
Doesn't sound like I'm getting that raw of a deal.
Why? I am doing $32 to $35 per hour at 8.5 cpl sm
My next career I'll be billing out at $90 an hour, but I have not finished my degree yet. Still, $30 an hour even is excellent for being home, calling your own shots and working at your own pace.
I believe they pay more than 5.5 an hour, but
nm
$25 an hour
Are you on a specialty account? I would like to hear from somebody who is thrown into a pool with hundreds of doctors and interns who averages $25 an hour from home. Must be superwoman/or superman. Maybe inhouse with all the macros? Maybe there is just something wrong with me? Share your secret.
$50-70/hour??
To MTHeaded - Please tell us the name of the company you work for and how much you get paid (per line?, per hour?, per page? ) as I have never heard of anyone making between $50 and $70 an hour routinely. Do you have a lot of normals? What's the secret?
That's $20.00 an hour...sm
I feel for you. What chump change.
One hour more is a lot to some of us. I, for one, have a s/m
large family including small children and older children who need to be run everywhere, etc. I already get up at 5 a.m. to start my work to get finished by the time my first child comes home from school. One more hour IS a lot to parents who are already stretched too thin as it is.
It is easy to sit back and give someone a hard time and say they are whining, but until you have been in the shoes of a frazzled single parent or otherwise, whose schedule is harried as it is, please do not criticize us for having an opinion on the extra hour. You aren't gaining anything by saying we have a sense of entitlement. What, by chance, entitles you to criticize us? I am glad you have extra time in your day, but some of us do not. I wish to God that I did.
24 hour tat
nm
Uh, you said 4 cpl and $20-something per hour.
At just $20 per hour, that's 4000 lines per day.
Now it's from 12 to 16 per hour.
At $10 an hour.................. nm
