info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

RE demographics
Sometimes the MR # is already there, but I always have to type in the name and date of visit as well as the DOB and MR # if the doc dictates it. Sometimes he spells the patient's name. If not I type it to the best of my ability and move on. We get paid for all demographics.
I would take it to mean too many demographics. Maybe
s
So how much demographics?
Heck if it is only 1 number I'd say that's good. Try the MDI-MD Lanier account I used to do. You had to type in ALL the numbers and dates from both Lanier screens and pick the docs (on a list at least). On a consultation you also had to fill in requesting physician, date, type of consultation and consulting physician. And if they dictate it on all reports room numbers too. Not to mention the accounts are 85% ESL.
What is demographics?
I don't know what it means when you say demographics when speaking about working for a National. What is that?
DEMOGRAPHICS
Do any of you remember the days when the sup or clerk would edit the Lanier dictation as the dictation came in, listen, edit and then you received it?
100 QA DEMOGRAPHICS
demographics, etc.
Someone also recently told me that NONE of the normals are paid any more!! and have you noticed that their clocks do not correspond to real time?? That's how they decide FT/PT, whether you get insurance, PTO, etc...
Demographics a nightmare!
She seemed nice, pay was on time, but the time put into searching for patient demographics was ridiculous. If they ever changed that, wouldn't be too bad.
I agree with demographics.
Wayyyy too much. I lasted longer than Miss Willy, worked there about 9 months, and it was like drowning. They kept adding more accounts and more demographics, and it was a miracle if you could get your line count.
About this demographics issue...
I don't understand...there's one number we must fill in on the DI, unless the MRN doesn't pull up the patient name, which is rare. It takes all of 2 seconds to put in the visit number, so to complain about that is just ridiculous. AND, we are VERY lucky to have so much work,while other companies can't even provide enough to keep their MTs making the minimum required lines...I, for one, Love Amphion...going on 2 years with them and am very happy. But hey, if there is a mass exodus, just means more work for me...and I only work 7 hours a day, make well above the minimum requirements...maybe you all just can't handle the perfection that it takes to be an Amphion employee...
What about the demographics at Keystrokes?

Demographics are paid for.
You are paid for the demographics - you should clarify that. I always check demographics - are you relying on the physicians to key it in correctly? I think to take pride in our work, we do have to check demographics, even though 95% of the time they should be correct. If you are not getting matches most of the time, it could be a technical problem
I'd have to agree with you on the demographics.
I really hate not being paid for the headers and footers, especially when I spend so much time checking on the demographic info. It wouldn't be a problem if it were occasional, but on my particular account, it seems that the majority of reports have some sort of error or need more information. It's a lot of time spent following along behind lazy docs who can't enter numbers correctly. Maybe if I knew TT was holding the client's feet to the fire to get the docs to do things properly, I could at least have hope that someday all the demographics would come up correctly.
Oh! And copying and pasting repetitive cc information and looking for routing printers! I forgot that one! Add that to life's annoyances. Ugh.
SECOND WEEK 100%QA FOR DEMOGRAPHICS?..nm
SECOND WEEK 100%QA?
I am not talking demographics SM
I am talking errors, like transcribing incorrect medical words, incorrect values. If the client is requiring that their work be free of medical and number errors, I don't call that being picky at all.
You have to check the demographics just
to insure you have the right patient, correct visit dates, etc. You can't do this job if you don't check demographics.
Demographics already filled
 Allegiant is a wonderful company to work for. she ALWAYS pays on time with direct deposit. All of her accounts are in the database and there are no patient lists used whatsoever. I have used Emdat for 6 years and I am very happy with the amount of money I make.
I use Ex-Text and don't have to type demographics
Maybe it depends on the account?
Does the demographics fill in on your account or do you ....
have to type them in? I had an account that filled in and it was not too bad. The account I have now must be searched out from the patient name to the type of document. Really sucks because it is so terrilby time consuming. Get a ESL saying the name and you can be looking at several minutes just to locate it.
I'm confused. Demographics autopopulate - ok, but what else does? (sm)
I'm confused now. Are you talking about for example, DATE OF ADMISSION DATE OF DISCHARGE, SURGEON: etc. etc. Isn't that a header. Could you please elaborate? Thanks
Time spent in demographics
Are there any company platforms out there where the demographics are already in place? I could just scream sometimes trying to be a detective to get all the demographics in place only to have a one-liner follow. Sigh... is it just me or are there others with the same frustration. It's difficult to make rate when demographics have to be researched and the patient name sounds like Blavopvoskitapove. Thanks for any clues on this.
If you like typing tons of demographics...
Then Amphion is for you!!! Yes, their platform is horrible. Too much searching for doctors, account numbers, etc. Not enough work on one account so you have to learn up to 6 (which I did). All 6 will have vastly different rules/regs and you better know the difference because they hit you on QA. Sometimes in a week mandatory overtime and 2 days later no work. You will be asked to flex your time, meaning stuck to the computer to make up the time to get your line count.
I do have to say, the people are great. Also, they do not offshore!! And, like the person above stated, their pay is more because of all the extra DI screen info you have to put in. Wasn't worth my time and moved on to somewhere better.
Hey fellow MTs! Will someone please share which co's pay for demographics. Thanks! nm
,,
No, but the demographics are almost always already entered into the system for you.
I am sure it probably depends on your account as well, but all 5 of my accounts don't need demographics entered, except on a rare occasion when the dictator puts the wrong number in.
Does Keystrokes pay for demographics, headers,
Thanks!
Yeah, and do you have to fill out a bunch of demographics
and garbage without being paid for typing it all when it takes longer than typing the actual report?
You are misinformed. I just called them and they DO pay for autopopulated demographics. What
they don't pay for is header and footer.
If the company populates the demographics makes
HUGE difference. I worked with two different companies with Emdat. One wasn't too bad but the other didn't do anything with the demographics or even try to figure the system out to make it more MT friendly. Emdat still, after how much time, has not corrected the spell check either. I finally quit. I am now happily working in Word again and my line count is back up to normal. Even after months in Emdat, my line count was down significantly. I will not work on that platforn. Good luck!
Almost no demographics to fill in on my account. Sound
quality could be better though. Platform is very easy, everyone is very nice, pay is better than most, IC position 10 cpl/11 cpl weekends. Small company that is growing. They DON'T offshore.
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.
Wondering....does Webmedx pay for demographics? The Q doesn't. NM
D
Yeah, if you want to look up demographics that are impossible to understand, & get paid for
If you don't mind being nit-picked to death and QA'd into the ozone, go for it.
I believe Transnet is how ExText is connected. Easy to use. Most demographics are
s
I have to do plenty of demographics. Did not realize I wasn't being paid for them. Am not surpris
It does depend on your acct,as you have said. nm.
Could be one of the MS services down there, too. nm
s
There are still some services (sm)
which treat ICs like real ICs and expect them to have their own equipment, know how to use encrypt files, use an FTP site, and the like. If you would like to email me with an idea of what sort of work you are looking for, I can probably suggest a couple of places to try.
Do you use Instant Text? That's your best bet if you want an Expander that works well with almost every transcription platform.
I don't like working on platforms that dole my work out a job or 2 at a time. I find I'm much more productive when I can download an allotment of files and prioritize them, doing the longer dictations and more difficult dictators when I'm freshest and saving the easy stuff for when I'm dragging a bit.
Anyone know anything about DTK Services in CT? nm

MRT Services
Yes, I have info. The reps that work the office are totally incompetant. They state that payment will be received within 30-45 days of the invoice for the services. It's not. The pay in trickles here and there, say they mailed checks when they didn't, and they are currently behind on payment several hundred dollars for my wife. We received two checks from them in two weeks, and then checks just stopped coming. She had not stopped working or had any significant gap in invoices, they're just not paying her. I am seriously irritated with them. I don't know anyone who needs a job, but doesn't need the money. They state they'll pay you in a particular amount of time, that's what they need to stick to. The defend themselves by saying their clients haven't paid. That is their problem! They try to pretend like it should matter to you that they haven't been paid, but the fact is, you're working for them, not their clients. They need to pay on the schedule they agreed to regardless. My wife now has to get a full time job because this isn't cutting it for paying our bills. Not only that, but when you agree to take a job at NOON, you don't get the job until 5 or 6 pm or even later!!! That makes a big difference in whether or not you can do the job. They claim it's because they have to digitize the jobs. How long can that possibly take? They make too many excuses, don't pay on a schedule, are constantly late, and whine about little details. They constantly try to correct your grammar when they're actually wrong (wife has a degree in English). So thanks a lot MRT, you people need to get it together in a big way. And teach you front office who deals with your typists to be a little more respectful of their time and money, stop making excuses for your mishandling of your role. I would not recommend MRT Services to anyone. If you need money, get an actual job, because MRT is a joke.
