I've been there around 2-1/2 months now and don't have any complaints. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I haven't ran into any bad dictators and I like the way they pay their PTO and overtime. They use Extext, which I like. Feel free to email me if you have anymore questions

I love Amphion & never run out of work
.
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.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

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 too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)

Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now? I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful. Anyone know their toll-free number?
Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report? Range of pay?
Amphion does
Amphion uses this for their platform!
?? about Amphion please
Their website says they check references which could hurt you at your present job. How do they handle that? Also do they pay more if you do work nights and weekends? Thank you.
Amphion pay
8.5 cents but good luck getting there, you need 4 quarters of 100% QA.

Amphion
and how do you get hired?
Amphion
No, they only hire as employee status. Good company though. Lots of work.
Amphion
I work for Amphion now.. GREAT company... Their pay scale differs on what level you are but where I am is 0.78 line to 0.81 line depending upon quality. That is for multispeciality. Acute care I believe is more...
Amphion
They use ESP word Expander for Microsoft Word and they do count spaces. I work there and think they are absolutely wonderful people to work for... No doubt..
Amphion pay?
Would anyone who works for Amphion mind sharing what their average pay per hour works out to? Considering them, but also worried the money might not be there.
Amphion
Amphion seems like a good company, but I wonder if the money is there. Their pay structure seems vague.
Amphion
Ditto! Nice staff, but questioning if it will be possible to ever make a living working for this company.
Amphion
No Radiology Accounts
Amphion
Try Amphion. I start with them tomorrow and so far I have been treated like a queen!!!!!
Amphion
I actually just tested for them today. I haven't heard anything back though. How long did it take them to conctact you after you completed the test?

At Amphion PT you could do 800 per day. nm
Amphion
Amphion is great!
Amphion
Anyone heard of this company? Hoped I spelled it correctly. I'm wanting to find out a little about them before testing. Thanks.
Amphion
If you have high speed internet go for it. I know some quality people who work there and I think they are reputable.
Amphion is
They are needing a lot of help for bigger accounts coming on live. Training people everyday. If you know what's out there, come on for a place to work that's great. They were a small company, sold out, then bought themselves back again. Wow!
Amphion
Does anyone know what Amphion's guidelines are for part time status, i.e. do you have to work a certain number of hours or produce so many lines? TIA
Is anyone from Amphion having
We are supposed to do 1200 lines a day and it's very hard to do with this company. Does anyone else have trouble and can they give hints to help me and another friend pick up production?
Amphion
Can anyone tell me anything about Amphion (good, bad or indifferent)? Do they have health benefits? How is the platform? How flexible are they? Do they have an incentive/bonus structure?
Thanks for opinions.
Amphion
I do a Tuesday through Saturday schedule with Amphion because I like to have Sunday and Monday off.
Amphion
Can someone tell me how Amphion distributes work? Do you have to pick up one job at a time, or do they dump work to your computer? TIA.
Amphion

Amphion again
Just wondering some specifics as to why you are having a bad experience.
Amphion
Very nice people but the account they seem to continually be hiring for is a nightmare as far as extra clerical stuff the MT is required to take care which you do not get paid for. Generally these are issues with entering demographics, along with carbon copies. I could easily spend 10 minutes on that and not even typed one line. With very easy dictators I went from an average of 200+ lines an hour to 75-100 max, and I am very familiar with ExText so it was definitely not a learning curve for the platform. They also gave me the impression I should be thrilled they were paying me $10/hr during the training period. That seemed like a red flag that maybe a lot of their MTs didn't make much money. I also did not think to ask in advance but only like 3 or 4? of their MTs actually make the top of the scale that they quote. It is based on quality and I wasn't worried about it until I heard how few MTs actually get that top salary, so that is another thing to check out before accepting a position. My feeling is if you don't have a lot of experience it is probably a good company to get your feet wet at, but not the place for an experienced MT.
Amphion
Thanks for all the info. Really useful. I have just posted a separate question on another company, OSI, above. Any thoughts?
Amphion
I AM NOT MANAGEMENT. I am a fairly new employee who happens to like this company after working for several other nationals. Why can't anyone be happy anymore?
Amphion
I rarely come to this board and just to take a peek at what is going on every once in a blue moon because I have other things that are far more important. However, I also work for Amphion and have been extremely happy with the way I'm treated by my supervisor, manager and on up the ladder. When you are low on work, it is partly your responsibility to ask your supervisor for a backup account instead of whining on these boards. Amphion and other transcription companies are vendors. Some accounts are solely done by the vendor and other accounts get the back log from hospitals, clinics, etc. The supervisors are always available to answer questions (though some days are definitely worse than others if there are many emails to go through from everyone or phone calls from the accounts). I always get my questions answered in a very timely fashion if not by day's end for sure.
We all have our gripes about the place we work from time to time, but let me ask you this.... Have you ever taken part of the blame yourself? Do you call in sick all the time or change your schedule so your supervisor (at Amphion or elsewhere) can't count on you to do the work per the contract they signed? We all have a life outside of work and should be very glad to work at home, but the outside stuff has to wait if you set a schedule and give that to your supervisor. If we went to an office during the day, everything would have to wait. Businesses are in business to make money, and hire us to help them make that money. Maybe Amphion hire because of the certain few MTs out there refuse to work a set schedule that MT gave the supervisor when they signed on and need coverage. I have never had Amphion tell me what hours to work. I gave them hours that fit my life and it works. Communication is key especially if we are all over the US.
I have worked for other services, and I can tell you, Amphion far and away blows all of them out of the water. Some may not agree, but I do know others that do agree with me. It's called give and take, not take, take, take by the MT and give nothing in return. Others that have never worked for Amphion do not know the ins and outs so have no reason to gripe at all on these boards about Amphion. I work my hours/lines, get paid on time, work extra when asked, get questions answered in a timely fashion and know that I am doing my best. I also know they are doing the best they can for their MTs and can hardly wait to see more and more positives down the road. Those that do gripe on these boards and do work or have worked for Amphion are blaming the company and not looking at themselves for part of the blame. If something doesn't feel right about the account you are on, low on work, etc., contact your supervisor instead of stewing about it and then blasting them on these boards. That is not fair to you or the company.
Amphion
I'm looking for info on Amphion, good or bad. I have called and talked to a woman in human resources and got a lot of information from her. So, anyone care to add anything before I apply?
Amphion does
