Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
any info on Amphion please
thinking about going with them at this time but need some positive insight if I can get it.
amphion mt info anyone? nm
NM
info on Amphion or Webmedx.
Work load? Are they going VR? Pay for clinic? Do they supply computers? good, bad??
amphion layoff info anyone?
that is what inquiring minds want to know - specifics
Any current info on MD-IT and Amphion?
Archives don't seem to turn up anything recent on either company and I am not sure if that is good or bad.
Anyone have info on Amphion or Northeast Transcription Inc?
What are they like to work for? Thanks!
Can anyone give any updated info on Amphion? sm
Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them. I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change. I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family. I currently work EVERY Saturday. Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay.
I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.
I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care. Other important things to consider in my search is benefits. The health insurance at my current company is very expensive.
Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.
Amphion-any recent info. Interested in a position there!

that was a little harsh
Lots of career moms go to work everyday and place their children in reputable childcare. There are also moms out there who are home all the time with their kids and they'd get better care elsewhere. Perhaps the OP has a supportive family nearby that would be willing to help out.
I think your comments were very judgmental and not helpful at all.
Harsh?
I would never sit around and so ho-hum and it's the fault of the company. What should I have said?
Please. No one needs to sit around in this industry if there are plenty of jobs posted. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, why not find a better job? We're not worth it?
I'm not one to sugar coat. We can't be lazy. We have to look for a better job if there's no work.
That was a little harsh!
I never post on here when someone is being rude to a fellow MT, but I have to put in my 2 cents here. You are right, however, when you say that Christmas bonuses are a thing of the past. I've been in this business for many years, and have seen the decline in pay and respect. I would recommend picking up something part-time to offset the slow times rather than up and quitting. Most of us are in the same boat, and it is being felt everywhere, not just in the MT business. We should be here to encourage one another, not discourage. I, for one, am luckier than some of my friends and family who have been forced out of a job due to downsizing or companies being shut down completely. I wish everyone the best for this holiday season, and to focus on everything there is to be thankful for in this recession!!
Wow, that was harsh
Geesh
Harsh
I am a Synernet employee and found the post to be harsh. I don't see an inner circle, I saw friends and co-workers who supported another in a time of need. I also do not feel like a robot and of step child. I have never been denied time off. I may have had to make up time if it was a busy time of year, but never been denied. Instead of complaining, let's be grateful that (a) you have a job and (b) you are not the person in charge of 90+ transcriptionist, their time off schedules, the system and the one answering emails and phone calls and dealing with MTs issues and customer issues. Discussing MT issues is one thing but attacking a person who lost a loved one is going to far.
Oh, really harsh you say
Direct quote from that post: into an even lower-paid position as a VR editor. In the latter case, the MT's knowledge is devalued even further. I have no problem editing or knowing how people unfamiliar with VR thinks someone right off th street could do. What would be hard about reading along on a report?? I stand behind all I said.
sounds harsh, but...
If your work was not up to par in a job setting outside of your home would you be allowed to continue in that position? I really doubt it, at least I have not seen it at any place I ever worked at before I became an MT who worked from home. I am sorry for your situation, but you cannot realistically expect an employer to carry you because of personal issues. They are paying you to work. If your work is not cutting it then they have every right to let you go. Best of luck to you. Hope things turn around soon.
Seems a bit harsh. Obviously, since others have tested with no sm
problem, must be your issue. As I recall, the instructions say to call or email if you have any problems. Perhaps it is you who should READ.
Wow..too harsh for me.. I mean I think I know what the heck I'm doing but maybe I really don't
what the heck I am doing, according to her. This ad is a crackup. Any ideas on who is it?
Wow, that was unnecessarily harsh.
She was just asking a simple question. If all you are going to do is bash the person for asking, don't respond.
Yes, it would be a HIPPA violation if her husband is able to see the patient's information, i.e. name, medical record #, etc.
Sorry you got bashed for asking.
That's not harsh. Some people just
The husband could be a partner. I had my husband do my deliveries when I wasn't allowed to drive after surgery and no one questioned this as a violation. They were glad he did it. And my husband could care less whose names are on those papers; really in all honesty.
Furthermore, who really knows who is sending the work at any given time. There was another poster here that said her nephew delivered tapes to a subcontractor and left in the screen door. I mean come on? Was that a violation? NOT! 
not harsh at all; it's time.

I agree you got some harsh replies.
Not sure why some people feel they need to give a reply when all they wish to express is their own irritability. I'm guessing the tone of their replies has nothing to do with the question. At least, I saw nothing unusual or annoying about your post. But I can't answer your question either.
Wendy....Post a bit harsh
Maggie, your post was a bit harsh. Yes there are those who whine and complain, but a lot comes with experience to include whining and complaining. As well, you really do not know what financial situation an MT may be experiencing. While, I agree with most of what you state, I find that you lack compassion for those who may not have the experience and knowledge that you do. I cannot say enough about the mentors/teachers I have had along the way. I had only one bad experience over the past 16 years working at home as an MT.. I have found work that may not be a good fit for the company or for me, software that is not productive for MTs (which can be cumbersome, time consuming, and frustrating), companies selling to another company, companies going out of business, losing business, etc., etc. I have considered all an experience that has contributed to the work I do. As well, without a doubt, you can have the greatest work ethic, but if your work for someone who does not share the same work ethic, or value the fact that you are generating money for them as well as yourself, what is it truly worth? Be kind, be gentle to those that whine and complain and perhaps your shared experience will provide growth for another MT.
Your comments are awful harsh considering
you missed the ENTIRE point of her post.
I can only hope you edit reports with better comprehensive skills than you used in reading that post.
She wasnt being harsh, just giving another point of
nm
yeah, after rereading my posts they are kind of harsh.
and I am sorry for being harsh. I still have my opinion and will stand behind Transcend. But my apology is to JMO. He/she was the only civil one, debating more than fighting. I cannot bring myself to apologize to the other attackers, however, who were just as unruly as myself while hiding their names from the public.
I do agree with the above poster who said we should just let it go. We all seem to feel strongly in our opinions but we've hashed it out as much as it should/could be.
Sorry again.
If you call being ripped off for more than 5 grand harsh & scary?
grow some guts. Unfortunately, this is profession has become a cut throat business, and if harshness is what it takes to get paid, then so be it. We are all just trying to survive here on the piddling pennies with which we are compensated. This MT is an extremely dedicated, hard-working MT whose business has been destroyed by ***********not paying for services rendered. It's unconscionable. It is not meant to be a threat, but rather a forewarning of what it yet to come.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.
It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.
With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.
Not everyone is good at everything.
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.
um, only 1 harsh reply; the other 3 were in reply to the 1

Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!! 
Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411.
Thanks!
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!

Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages. Have things changed for the better here? Is there steady, reliable work? Able to make any decent money? Thanks!
Amphion
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
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?

Amphion
Aren't they great! I work for them also.
