I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh

Well, I never heard back from them, even after I sent tons of e-mail and personal phone calls
 And, I am sure I nearly aced the test. Very simple.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.
So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.
Dont count on it. We got transferred to Amherst and all of a sudden tons of backups on the accounts
and no work.
C-phone accounts
It's not that new hires get put on C-phone accounts more because they are less desirable or lower on the totem pole, it's just that most MDI accounts ARE C-phone accounts. They have relatively few internet accounts.
They have non-C-phone accounts also (nm)
Do you have to use a C-phone for their accounts or are they web-based yet? nm
,
Some accounts require a C-phone or
whatever and use phone lines.
They have several C-phone accounts. They may loan
you one if you don't have one.
I worked on 3 C-phone accounts.
Two of them were very involved, less than 50% ESL, but they were Meditech accounts. Meditech is a horrible platform. I posted more info above on your other post from today.
My C-phone accounts are begging for extra
I have 2 and every day this week they have been extremely full and begging for the MTs to work extra. It's too bad the accounts are uneven like this.
There were different accounts on that job posting, some required C-Phone and others did not..(sm)
Also, there were 2 or 3 different platforms so it's more than one account.
because C-phone accounts are cumbersome...and assigned

Tons of work
I don't know what account other poster is on but she should probably check with her supervisor about the no work issue--that doesn't sound like Amphion.
The account I'm on is never out of work and it is always available to work on, overtime included. I love Amphion and have been at several different companies.
Amphion gives me the freedom to do my work and keeps me in work but they don't bug me to death about work. They go above and beyond to create macros, request software changes that get approved for MTs to use to make our jobs easier. I get employee benefits including retirement and PTO and I couldn't be happier. I'm also not bombarded with emails all day like I was at TRS a few years ago. The supervisors and QA are great! I was not sure when I started because I was skeptical from past jobs, so I started part-time and kept my other full-time MT job, then made the switch to full-time with Amphion after a few months and I am so glad I did.
If anyone remembers Omnimed from a few years back, they are now back as Amphion. You really have to just give it a shot to see if they're a good fit.
I have tons of work.. I can't see how you can say that.
What account are you on?
Tons of work currently
Hmmm, I have not had this problem at Amphion. We have been doing overtime for a long time now, sometimes mandatory, sometimes optional. I have by no means ran out of work. I just wanted to give another opinion. I'm very happy working there and would recommend them. 
I have always had tons of work..SM
I would e-mail Lee directly if you are running out of work on you account. She is VERY nice and more than willing to help out. She will put you on a new account, or give you a backup in a heartbeat. She has done it for me and many other people.
I have tons of work...

Same here. TONS of work. Never run out
They are always asking for extra help, and I'm always glad to give it! I have never even ever come close to running out of work the year I have been there.
We have tons of work!
The account that I am lead on has tons of work. I personally don't use the insurance since I have it through my husband's job, but we did recently get a new policy that I heard was great.
If you want tons of work at MDI
ask for a Lanier account. There is always a ton of work and I have never run out. Plus of which, I love the account!
Still around and tons of work
I have been with Meridian for 4-1/2 years. I haven't had a slow period or run out of work in the last year and a half. Love it there. contact me if you want more info.
You are right. I have tons of work..and no VR
nm

Try TransTech instead. FABULOUS company and TONS of work!

I also lost hospital job and have tons of clinic work
Hospitals can afford the software, clinics cannot.... It will be a long time before any of these clinics can afford the software especially when the health insurance providers refuse to reimburse for services rendered like they should... When I say clinic, I mean private practice....
Tons of work on Enterprise. Should be last frustrating. Good luck. nm

I love it there. Tons of work, great people. I am 100% happy.

Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
Where do YOU work? I want tons of work...
Seriously, where do you work, if you don't mind sharing???
Used to need a second phone line to work there. Does anyone know about now? nm
s
No, you don't need C-phone or a second line, and yes, I believe we do have clinic work. nm

This obviously all boils down to choices. If your willing to use a C-phone, then there is work but
if you want to work for an account that you were hired for, say using editing, or basically internet-based, the work load can be somewhat fluctuating and this could be due to the fact that many were hired on these editing accounts so it keeps the work load down most of the time. It also depends on the hospital your working on. Some have more work than others. Just be aware of what you will need and want in order to keep working. I still stand by the fact that sometimes things promised never materialize and emails are delayed in being answered. Other than that, pay is on time and for some that is enough to keep them happy. I say, try it out. Only you can decide what works for you or what is acceptable. Again, it is about choices.
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.
Just depends on the account. I work for MDI, don't use a c-phone but also don't have Bayscrib

internet or extra phone line work? - nm

All of the WORK RELATED emails, IMs, phone calls, etc...sm
Up until 05/13, I was a production paid MT that was expected to work a very structured, 6.5-hour shift that was to be performed from 9a-4p. HOWEVER, the constant disruptions that came from my supervisor and other staff members (mandatory IMs, emails, phone calls, on-line meetings, etc) was considered non-productive and had to be made up. It took me 8 to 10 hours a day (on a good day) to get in 6.5 hours of transcription! I was then accused of not sticking to my schedule because many of those hours were done in the evening (after the office went home) and I was finally left alone.
Could you even try to imagine anyone else (regardless of profession)being told to stay after their shift was over to make up any time spent performing work related tasks? It doesn't happen and never will!
Why are we expected to be so grateful to be at home when the only difference is demographics? Oh, and maybe a water cooler...
Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go

I work for Keystrokes and have never heard that you had to have digital phone service (sm)
I used Embarq for about 3 months and made the change to digital because I got the letter from Embarq saying I was wasn't allowed to use the unlimited long distance that much. I also switched to digital because it is cheaper and truly is unlimited long distance at the same rate every month. I was never once told by Keystrokes that I had to have digital. The only thing they ever told me was I had to have unlimited long distance.
I work at Keystrokes using a C-phone and Meditech. Admittedly, I wasn't sm
fond of Meditech when I first started using it, but now I do not mind it at all. You can look up patient data such as medications, prior reports, etc., which can be quite helpful. And Keystrokes uses a formula to count the lines which I think turns out very favorable for the MT. I don't think that must be my C-phone account, thought, because I'm pretty sure there are more than 35% ESLs!
Good luck to you. Don't let the naysayers get to you. Try it for yourself and see. It might be a great fit. 
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
