Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

A line is a line is a line. Doesn't matter if we are talking about radiology or acute care.
1600 is not a fair minimum requirement. Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.
IMO, the bottom line
after seeing all the negative posts must be Amphion (for no weekends unless you want them) and MDI-MD (for good Bayshore software). Would most people agree?
Bottom line...
Amphion employs the best of the best...if you can't cut it, they cut you loose...simple.
bottom line
Take the 8.5 job.
You get healthcare.
You get 50% of your soc. sec. paid.
Bottom line: You have to look out for yourself,

Bottom line....
When Americans leave this country, or when work is sent outside of this country, they/it should accept the fact that things may not go they way they hoped. Another example is Lisa Ling's sister. American officials do not have the right to go into another country and try to make them change their laws just because the victim or person on the bad end of the stick is an American.
The Thai ppl are handling Carradine's case just as they would for their own people. Just because their country does not conduct CSI-type investigations does not mean that American officials can just barge into their country and make them do this or that.
These MTSOs who are rapidly sending work to other countries will soon find out that this is not the thing to do. It's just a matter of time before a major breach or misuse of information occurs.
You need to look out for your bottom line (sm)
While the people at MDI are great, that is not going to pay your bills. They created the situation you are in and you should not have to HAVE 2 jobs. I say keep the second job, you just never know WHEN the low work will happen again, and it will.
Bottom line...
If an MT cannot keep up with the demands of the job while maintaining high-quality standards, then they need to find a different profession. If a person feels that at 7 or 8 cpl they will not be able to correct and proofread their reports, then they either need to find a job that pays enough to do that or they need to find a different profession. Is it acceptable for a physcian to slack when it comes to quality because he isn't being paid enough? Is it okay for him/her to begin surgery and leave it half done because he thinks he will not make enough money off of this patient? You see, this is ALL about the patient. It is not about US. We are here to service the patient and create an easy-to-read, accurate document of their encounter. I know for myself, the day I cannot create a high-quality, accurate report is the same day I leave this profession.
Bottom Line at Amphion
I have been reading all of the comments about Amphion and having worked there and done well and also knowing people who haven't done well I think the bottom line is that if you have 10-key skills (if you have to ask what that is you don't have them) you will do well. Slow people and those who don't have 10-key skills will not do well at Amphion. If you are fast and productive you can make a lot of money at Amphion. It is not for everybody and certainly not for slowpokes. Can we just see everybody's side to this drawn out saga and give it a rest now? Thank you.
Don't believe it if they say it. If it means the bottom line,
I think you need to suck it up and learn to do ESLs or you'll be left behind.
Bottom line on anything business is $. They can

well...your bottom line is lower
than I would accept. I currently make 10 cpl and will not go lower than 9.5 for transcription and will not go lower than 5.5 for edit.
Now, someone making 7 cpl currently will say....yeah, I will work for 8 cpl, that is a raise for me.
Also, there are some out there making 3 cpl for edit, if they were offered 4 or 5, they would take it.
How can we set a standard like this?
Bottom Line -- Mgmt always says that
cherry-picking is not allowed and will be dealt with; however, it very rarely is. If management is not going to take care of it, nothing you can do. Just type and go on. This way, you will get up to speed on these dictators and it will not matter in the long run.
MQ - their bottom line pay 2 cpl offshore or pay us NOTHING for ASR -nm
The bottom line is money...
3 cpl for VR...more money in their pockets. On the contrary to some of the replys to my first message...VR does save a ton of money for these hospitals, but these MTSO's know that the MTs can do more lines per hour with VR and hence, lower the pay to 3...so disgusting.
Do = does. & most drs. dont know and could care
x
Dont care enough to act on it is the same as they
y
Of course the bottom line is that with the new platform anyone anywhere can get into all accounts in
all offices so it really doesnt matter where you are. I think MQ is probably just going to dump everyone into accounts that are behind and totally eliminate overtime or any kind of bonuses, etc. That is already in place in the NE so just a matter of time.
Bottom line, if you are happy with paycheck, you are okay. If not,

For Natls, $ is bottom line, which is why offshore as

Bottom line---Check with your supervisor.
If the CP does not state to insert apostrophes and you are to follow BOS2, then QA is wrong. The only way to clear this up is to ask someone who has the authority to make that decision.
Becuase it is a business with $$ as bottom line.

Dont care if you agree
It doesn't matter if you agree with me or not. Or if you buy into my claims. I am not making any claims. Just stating my opinion. Thank you.
NO, they dont. Everyone I have told could care less.
someone in India knows they have a cold.
Bottom line for me is the paycheck. Nice don't pay the bills.

the bottom line - Cherry-Pickers are scum,
should be fired, and should not even call themselves MTs. If you have a job, you type what is assigned to you. Don't like it?! Take up burger-flipping. Only incompetent MTs cherry-pick.
Dont care about desktop publishing, not what I do. I

You have to wonder if the supervisors that dont care about no work are always
getting new MTs because they quit all the time.
True. bottom line - our job is to produce accurate, legal - sm
medical documents in the ENGLISH language. No one is ever quite as proficient in a second language as they are their native one. We spend our whole lives continuing to learn the nuances of our own language. If my medical record affects my care, or a possible court case, and ESPECIALLY my ability to receive & retain health insurance, you better believe I want it typed by a person for whom English is their #1 language, and by someone who is paid enough to actually care about the quality of the job they are doing.
"chuckle" raise in 3 days, not to their bottom line advantage is it.
Hey gooble up this one if you like. Not me!!! I could understand if hourly, but we are not. WE are the one who lose already, learning there program, acct spec, formats, the various QA preferences, learn/get an ear for each dictator. We LOSE BIG TIME because it takes time for all that above stuff, we cannot just sit down and zoom off. Hey but grab IT see how the attitude is toward MT with 6 cents offer, it says something ya know.
I dont' care to read the packet anymore.t
I was all a twitter when the letter first came, email, whatever,nervous that I was gonna lose my bennies, worked myself into a lather...now I don't give a ****. Let the chips fall, I'll survive it. I even forgot it was October, thanks for reminding me. 6 days until D day. Whatever..
Most facilties want their work for cheapest, dont care
fasd
Bottom line is administrators trying to save a buck. Many drs. don't want records going offshore.

Bottom line: What does it pay per line?
.
They really dont pay enough for having most ESL accounts. Hard to get a good line count
and then to only make 8 cpl. It really is not worth it. Chartscript is not productive in my opinion.
If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.
s
I agree, but it is what it is.....the companies don't care about anything but TAT and lines, line
Unfortunately, it all boils down to the bottom line, money.
I believe a "thank you" is warranted in many cases, but don't hold your breath for one.
It is sad, very sad.
What do they pay per line for acute care with tons of experience?
x
I type acute care for 7 cents a line...and
I made $40,000 last year as an employee. The company I work for won't let me type ER, because they need me in acute care. I could made more typing ER as a lot more gets macro'd.
Transcend - Avg line rate for acute care?..and more....
Do they still run out of work a lot? Pay on time? Direct deposit? How is their VR editing versus straight typing - do you like it, make enough $$$? Is the platform user friendly? Any info is appreciated!
0.076 a line for acute care?? yeah, that is obsurd.
x
will be offshored.

I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I don't see how this could be offshored at this point
or in the future. It is really much more intricate than MT as you have to know coding assigned by individual states as allowed by Medicare, and you pretty much have to know all Medicare/Medicaid regulations and independent insurance company regulations. Because of the oath you take when you become certified and because you have to be physically available IF a monetary/or jail term penalty is issued, I don't think employers would take the chance with coding that they do with MT. See, when it comes to getting paid for services, employers aren't as willing to take chances.
Oh, other employers who need coders are insurance companies and medical office management companies.
good luck,

LINK TO WHAT ELSE IS OFFSHORED
I have spent the last hour doing research on offshoring of medical transcription. This is one of the sites that I found and now they do our taxes and legal stuff too? Some of the ones I found also offshore to Russia and China! Check this link out and look to the right of the page to see what else they are doing. They even listed some of the MTSOs and will sell you articles and information on their plan of action or whatever they call it.
