Good afternoon,

I'm wondering if anyone has any information on an MTSO by the name of Alphamed Solutions, Inc. (Marwan)?  It sounds like an off-shore operation.  Would appreciate anything I can learn.

Thanks for your time and the wonderful jobs y'all do!

Anyone else work for Alphamed on here?  Just curious if I am the only Alpahmed.

Be forewarned, if you work for Alphamed Solutions and your computer breaks or has issues with software, etc. more than once in a month's time, you are canned.

I worked for them 2 years on the same account as lead MT. My Word went haywire twice in one month putting me out of commission for a few days each time. The second time it happened, I was canned and told we will keep for overflow work. Ok whatever.

How's that for fair? Oh and the owner talked to me about 15 minutes before the manager called me to tell me I was canned from the account. He was nice and said oh that is just fine. I was updating him on my computer issue. Then 15 minutes later BOOM! What is bad is he did gotomeeting.com and took over my computer so he knew first hand what it was doing and that it really was not working. Still he let the manager can me. I am so ticked off. Do not work for this company! Now I have to go from 8 cpl (which wasn't all that) to 7.5 cpl and 3 cpl for editing just to have a job or otherwise sit here and have no job at all.

Previously, probably a month or so ago, I posted a message on here that read:

To be fair, let me say this:  I had multiple problems with internet service, etc before also, not just those computer issues.  I had other issues as well.  I would say over the previous six months to a year I had had a lot of issues with working, much of which was beyond my control i.e., computer issues or internet issues.  I live out in nowhereville, where DSL is habitually giving problems.  Anyways, they still have a business to run, and my problems are just that, my problems.  I had worked for them 2 years on the same account and was lead MT for most of that time and when I was demoted to overflow, I will say it hurt.  I think I could have dealt with it better if it would have been in my control, in other words if my computer wasn't haywire and I just wasn't doing my job.  I would have felt, well, I got what was coming, but I felt I was a victim of circumstance.  I had no control over the computer and I was like because of this stupid computer I have been demoted.  In my mind, I thought they could use a backup or overflow MT and when I got issues with the computer sorted out, I would go back to work.  That obviously isn't the way it works though.  I still work, as I said, for them on overflow.  As I said, I was demoted.  In fairness to Alphamed, I have to say I had some issues for a while there.  It wasn't purposeful.  It just happened that way. 

To be fair, I have some issues with my dad that started a little over a year ago, that I may or may not have interfered with my work.  I am thinking maybe my work wasn't up to par and I didn't realize it.  It may have interfered and I refused to believe it cause I didn't see it.  You all probably remember my posts about my dad on the gab board?  Some were anonymous.  I don't post anymore cause I am tired of talking about it and am gonna be moving soon to try to get some peace.  I talked to my manager today and when she said a year ago that I changed then later I was like you know that is exactly when my issues started happening with my dad.  Maybe my work suffered and I didn't see it.  I never even brought up these issues to Alphamed cause I didn't see a need.  Still don't.  I didn't think it affected me, but the time frame coincides when my work began to fall and when issues started with my dad.  My sister told me months ago, you know, our life is like something out of a lifetime network movie.  LOL  It isn't funny but you have to laugh sometimes.  I hope the anticipated move I make in the near future resolves some issues as I won't be living near him and I have peace in my life once again.  Until then, I will put on my big girl panties.  LOL I try to find humor in it all. 

I have not been able to find any informatin about Alphamed. Can anyone with any knowledge of this company give an opinion?  Good, bad or indifferent?

Thanks

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!!

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!

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.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "slow time" when typing IMEs?

TIA!
