Is it a lot of ESL, and if so how bad/good are the accounts they have?

On my Amphion acct I had to fill in demographics
I lasted a few months because it was a losing battle. I had to quit when my husband was out of work after a MVA. Its okay to supplement income if you are happy with minimum wage.
Amphion, All Type or FutureNet anyone?
Anyone currently or recently work for Amphion? The most recent posting I found in the archives is from last year. I've been offered positions at All Type, FutureNet and Amphion, as well as a 3rd shift position at Axolotl. Any info on any of these companies would be great!! I've been burned a few times recently, trying to avoid having it happen again.
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. 
I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I do not work for them, but I have done recruiting for companies of their type of work
It is A LOT different than regular medical transcription. The pay is a little less (unless you are proficient and fast), but the work is harder in that there are multiple people speaking and the nature of the medical advisory boards are quite detailed. I receive quite a few resumes of medical transcriptionists wanting to do this type of work, but when you test them, it is a whole different ballgame.
Good luck and let me know how you do on the test!
Amphion always has work. nm
Amphion work
There is tons of work, but their new account absolutely stinks as far as inputing a lot of data in the headers which you are not paid for.
Does Amphion have SE work?
x
Believe me, Amphion is NOT out of work.
Maybe just one person on one account. If that one account runs out, there are plenty more accounts there. All anybody has to do is speak to their supervisor.
I work for Amphion right now...sm
What do you want to know specifically? I like it most of the time. I don't think it's any worse than anything else out there. You have to stick to your schedule daily but you get to set it on your own when you start, not just taking what shift they want to assign to you, so that part is nice. Pay is always on time, direct deposited.
Anyone work for Amphion?
I tried to search MTStars for it, but can only find postings from 2005. Any new info would be helpful. Is their pay competive? Do they offer equipment, and what kind of platform do they use? Do they have any VR? TIA!!
Anyone work for Amphion? Would like to know if you are
happy there. How does the cpl compare with other companies? Workload? PTO? etc.

You must work at Amphion
bah
Amphion has lots of work
I would very much like to talk with you and offer my assistance regarding your concerns of overhiring and lack of work. Something must be amiss and I would like to solve your dilemma yet today. We have lots of work, are still recruiting cream of the crop MTs, and pride ourselves on treating our team members fairly.

Have things gotten better at Amphion? Is there work now? nm
s
I've never been without work at Amphion!
??
I currently work at Amphion and would have to agree...
with what was said about the demographic information. I have been there for a few months--looking again---, and I find that the demographic information required is overwhelming after a while. I usually can do AT LEAST 250 and even 300 lines per hour, but with this company, I have only been able to get to 180-200 lph no matter how hard I try. They do have a lot of residents also. As far as being flexible--not really for me. I also think the pay scale is a bit low--not even 8 cents per line.
Amphion is mostly clinic work. NM

I love Amphion & never run out of work
.
If you work for Amphion please read
I think my post got lost in the shuffle down below. Pleeeeeze somebody I need an answer. Just email me if you like.
Can anybody tell me how long it took you to get up to production speed at Amphion. I have been here three months and still nowhere close to where I was at at MQ. I can't go back to MQ, too much going on there. I need to get another job or get parttime somewhere unless somebody can tell me that I can get up to where I need to be. I have alot of experience but this platform and demographic stuff is killing me. TIA
Amphion Work Load/QA
I have never been on these chats before but in checking all of them out I am in quite disbelief. I see people complaining about having to do OT and QA issues if you have a bad QA. Are you seriously kidding? You have a job at home, a computer given to you, and you are there if your kids need you, are sick, etc. You don't pay for gas, don't have to worry about the weather, or OT at an actual office. Most people out there are looking for a good company and now people are complaining about having too much work. This is a first for me because in my situation I always have bills, things cropping up for school and X-mas coming up as do most people I know. Remember what do you have and how good you do have it.
Must be on a different account than I am - i've never run out of work with Amphion!

Why are you working 60 hours, when you can work 40 at Amphion?
Just curious as to why you would continue to work 60 hours a week, if you can work 40 hours at Amphion and make more money? Why have you not gone full time with Amphion? Again, just curious. I do not want to start anything.
I agree - Amphion's the best company to work for
f
Amphion is a great company to work for!
Great accounts, I have one primary that keeps me busy. The people are great to work with.
I don't work at Amphion but it's amazing that they expect
nm
Amphion just seemed like a good place to work
I don't like to job hop and between the 2 Amphion seemed better but I have misgivings now and afraid I will be let go. Do they let people go if they don't meet the line requirements?
If you like a great work environment - Amphion is it!
I could talk for hours about the wonderful attitudes and great hours and references and supervisors...but suffice it to say that Amphion has been a blessing for the 2-1/2 years I've been with them.
I work M-F, can take off early for football games or doctor appointments, as long as I get it in before the pay period is up (and it's approved, can't just leave the computer, obviously). They have study groups for CMT, a message board, IM is always available for questions/problems, the IT department is top notch and friendly, trainers are a dream, the work is always there and your account does happen to run dry, there's plenty of other accounts to keep you busy.
They're a dream come true. I've been with 5 other companies (national and private) and I honestly never see myself leaving Amphion. It's like a 2nd family - and they really cares about you.
Good luck in your decision - if you decide to come to Amphion, WELCOME! :)
And wherever you choose - congratulations!!
Try All Type. I do not work for them, but - sm
many of my friends do as a part time job from their hospital job. One of them has been with them for over two years, and in this business, that is quite a long time!! LOL
Work type
Discharge summaries, clinic notes, H&P, etc. Specialties: Orthopedics, Rheumatology, Pulmonary, etc.
Yes, I am doing this same type of work (sm)
and have been doing so for a few years now. I definitely agree with you that it can involve a lot of research at times; however, I thought he stated in his ad that there might be room for negotiation on his starting pay depending on how many years experience someone had. I'm just interested in finding out how busy he keeps his transcriptionists. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!
All Type - Anyone work for them currently?
All I can find are posts from 2005 and early 2006. How are they to work for now, specifically do they have a flexible schedule? Thanks!!
They pay by work type SM
with ops paying the highest. I interviewed with them for a PT extra job and I thought they would be fine. Recruiter is very nice, down to earth, and easy to talk to.
What type of work did they take you on for?
I'm going to be doing an account with high ESL, as I'm very comfortable with them. Were you clinic or acute care? I'm worrying now :( That's the reason I left my company was because they couldn't provide me with enough work for even part time.
When do you type, when there is no QA work to do? NM
NM
Did they tell you pay is by the work type with
discharges being 6 or 7 cpl. I believe the only way to make real money is typing ops and working 3rd shift because you get an extra penny for that
It's not that far off for this type of work...
I understood it to be $1.10/page which would equate to $10-15/hour if you type 60 wpm. Who's to say the page isn't double-spaced? I type 100 wpm (no expander) so that would be a pretty decent wage in this day :)
What type of work do they do?
Is this clinic or acute care work? Employee or IC? I'm interested in clinic work w/weekends free if available. I don't like the Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat schedules... Thanks for any info!
Amphion doesn't make you work weekends
or nights. They're a great company, and I hear they're hiring.
It is DEFINITELY worth it to get the work type you want. nm

Consistent work with All-Type NJ?
Anyone work for All-Type in New Jersey? Am considering them and wonder if their work flow is consistent or are there lots of dry spells? Any other information would ge helpful. Thx.
All Type - Work & Fairness
I can totally sympathize with you - if one is capable of doing the crap work that is who they give it to. They are short-staffed in both MTs and QA, but I understand they are currently hiring  .
As an aside, I would ask ,when applying for acute care, what the volume of ESL will be and what the work-types will be for the particular account for which you will be working. I know, for a fact, you are not provided with the account information until you start training; by the way their Trainer (Carolyn) is very nice!!
Anyone currently work for All-Type? Have a question. sm
Their website says need unlimited long distance service. Then it says method of sending/receiving files is high speed internet. Current employees, which is correct? How are you currently working - on line or over the phone lines? Thanks.
What type of work and IC or employee? nm
nm
depends on work type
If you can do mostly ops you can fly and make a tremendous amt. If you do HP con and DS it slows you down and makes typing more lucrative. VR makes money for the company by causing huge decrease in payroll costs but does not benefit the majority of MTs.
anyone work for Freedom Type?
TIA.  pros or cons?? Thinking about them.
Does anyone currently work for Silent Type?
I am interested in talking to someone who currently works for Silent Type and can let me know what the average number of pages they produce in a day. I was told that it doesn't matter how many lines are on a page, you are paid for the entire page. In some circumstances that would be pretty good, particularly if there were a lot of normals set up on the account. I am aware of their practices, the fact that you have to go to NJ to train, etc., but I really would like to know what their transcriptionists are making versus hearing that their rates stink. I have talked to a few people who say that they do not ever have turnover because their top transcriptionists make quite a bit of money, but I would like to speak to somebody who has been there done that.
Thanks!
I don't get any other work type after OPs. I call in to see if they
are backed up on other accounts that they need help with. I have 4 accounts and when they run out I call. I AM NOT CHERRYPICKING. I am doing what I am given!!
Does anyone work for Silent Type? (sm)
Do they have steady work, flexible schedules, benefits? Any info will be appreciated. TIA.
Does anyone use Vista and work at All Type?
Do you have any problems with it? I am wanting to buy a laptop with Vista and any info would be appreciated. Thanx.
