From what I have heard, there is one by the name of karen clay who harrasses MTs about line counts constantly -- even those left in ruins by Katrina!

FDA warns that it delivers higher doses than expected, and has a higher rate of stroke. (sm)
http://www.webmd.com/content/Article/115/111590.htm
could be a little higher, but
I make up for it by having great account with good dictators, so no struggling with ESLs for the most part. I'll take a small line count cut in exchange for less stress. For me, it's worth it.
I would say #3 and higher.

8-10 cpl usually comes out about the same. The higher
the pay, the worse the accounts and the worse the platforms you have to work on. If it takes you 3-5 minutes to get into a job before you type your first word and are paid 10 cpl, you are better off at 8 cpl on a quick and easy platform. Same with good VS evil dictators.
I just left Transcend where I made 9.5 cpl and make more at a company who pays 8 cpl because the system Transcend used is just not user friendly.
Higher rates
When my hospital looking into a MTSO for quicer TAT, they were quoted .33 cpl.  This company only paid their MTs. .07 cpl.  Needless to say, my hospital stuck to what they were paying me.
Well, I have a 99% or higher QA score.
I make between $45K and $48K doing this.

NEver been in trouble for QA. Never lost a job for QA. Have been hired for every single job I have ever applied for.

Anyone I've ever worked for has been sad to see me go. People I work for now are very happy with me. I make good money and have a good QA score.

All with no PROPER EDUCATION but just on-the-job training.

HOORAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Wow. Is this from your immediate supervisors or from the higher ups/HR, etc.? Are you being
s
It needs to go considerably higher than 9-9.5.....
I've been raiding my savings all year just to put gas in my car. That was at $3.50/gal. Once it's over $4/gal., how will any of us afford it on even 12 cpl? (Especially if our line counts are being skimmed by the oh-so-righteous MTSOs)? If they want their little hamsters to turn those wheels of fortune (theirs, not ours) faster, we could probably do it if our pay were such that we didn't have to be continually looking for a better job while trying to work. Sure ain't rocket science.
You may get a higher rate of pay but
You spend so much time looking up new meds (they are constantly changing) and various chemos, etc. you can't make any money. 
Actually that's on the higher side for

It's wonderful, you will not see one higher.nm

higher salary?
Are you serious?

You decided to be QA and you get paid by the hour, not by production. Sell your sad tale to someone who isn't hammering the keyboard for those "crumbs," you talk about.

There is Omissions and Errors insurance to cover your QA errors. Get over yourself. You aren't all that and a bag of beans.

People like me did the bulk of the report and it's your job as QA to come along and do a little clean up. In other words, QA people are what then? Janitorial staff.
How many MTs have a completed Bachelor's or higher currently?

Wal-Mart Higher and inconvenient

Something should be said about their false adverstisement.  Wal-Mart is not cheaper or more convenient as they say in their commercials.  In the small Wal-Mart you use to be able to run in and pick up something quick but not that is impossible.  A trip to Wal-Mart, no matter how much or what you need it takes over an hour.  Why do they put all those cash register lines in if they do not use them?  A gallon of milk is 30 cents more at WM than my local grocer.  This year, we did not buy any Christmas gifts from WM.  When comparing prices for one large ticket item we bought, WM was $30 dollarge more than the specialty store.  I agree, they are greedy. 


Our community was one of the first in the area to have a Wal-Mart and the only reason for this was because we had a Howard's which went out of business a year after Wal-Mart opened up.  Then they opened up another store in a neighboring community.  Wal-mart stayed open for 20 years (in the terms and agreement) then decided to close and build the super store in the neighboring community.   I admit I still shop at WM for some things but if I have a choice, I go somewhere else.


Have you ever bargained for a higher CPL rate..
when made an offer by a national or is that a big mistake?  Want the position, but not for as low as they are offering.  Would just like to see if they would be willing to go up based on experience and quality.  Has anyone ever done this and actually had a good result from it?
Bet Hillary's is higher than Bill's!?!?!?!
!
I'm a lucky one also - @ 18 cpl, can't really raise any higher. nm

Depends; if QA and someone over their head, you could take it higher up sm
if not and QA is owner, you just have to bite your teeth and do it her way or find another job. you could argue your points with her and show your proof but that still doesn't mean she will agree and might get on the defense and hurt you in the long run but that is a chance you gotta take too. she may think better of you as knowing the correct way also. i think personally i would confront her with proof about it and if accepting fine; if not, find another job where quality is respected.
I started with the higher priced one... sm
I didn't know about the less expensive one.  When I called to tell them I couldn't afford the internet anymore, they offered the lower priced one.  I changed to it and couldn't tell any difference!
I'd "accidentally" forward it to a higher up.

I would go to someone higher on the food chain. SM

Here's the thing, you are a business providing them a service.  You don't have to care or hear about their personal issues that keep you from getting paid.  They need to do their jobs.  So if the person who usually cuts the checks is out because she just got married and the person who is now cutting the checks is not reliable, not your problem!  You should go to someone above them and say "listen this is business and I want to be paid!"  I wouldn't type a keystroke until they pay you what you are owed.


Then from this point on, I would let them know in no uncertain terms that you expect to be paid within say 5 business days of receipt of your invoice, or you will charge them a late fee.  Type it on your invoice.


It's tempting to be friends with the office staff and to treat them like friends instead of customers or clients and cut them slack and feel sorry for them when they tell their sad stories, but in the business world a person's personal crap doesn't matter.  Business is business!  You have bills, kids, etc.  You provided a service and you need to be paid on time!  Your paycheck should not depend upon Susie Q's wedding or boyfriend problems or anything else.  Susie Q should be doing her job period!


 


really? I was old by MS that it needed to be 2003 or higher !
are you currently running one of the older versions and did you have to modify anything to make it work? Thanks
Have any of you in the higher priced states...
Just a question, don't get mad. I moved out of Delaware many, many years ago. The wages there are below national levels (don't know if its changed) and I found I could not be a single mom and buy a decent home for my child there. I did research and ended up in Florida where there is no state tax and cost of living was a lot cheaper. Even though we moved away from family, I think it was the best decision I ever made.
Because the cost of living is higher here. Still, that
Which is exactly what it is - DISCRIMINATION based on where an applicant lives.
You'd have a higher line count, though!

Amphion medical solutions
Amphion
The pay is a range from 7.4 to 8.5.  I know they have at least one account with good MEATY clinic notes!  Very nice co. to work for!
Amphion
Can anyone give me info on this company, good or bad?  I just took their test.  Waiting to see what happens.  You can email me if you want.  Thanks in advance!
AMPHION
I just started with Amphion and they are awesome!!!!!
About Amphion, it is unfortunately
their practice to harp about working mandatory OT and then suddenly there is no work.  I will never work OT for them again  They always overhire, too!
amphion
thanks for that info... now i jus gotta wait and see if they call/email for an interview

thanks again
I would say Amphion. nm

Amphion

I was offered an interview at Amphion - does anyone know what this consists of?  Is it just basic questions?


TIA


Amphion
No - they are pretty detailed.
Amphion pay.

What does everyone think about Amphion's pay?  I was offered a job there.  It seems low?


TIA


amphion
I love Amphion. Have never worked for a better place. Everyone is very helpful and courteous.
amphion
Believe it or not, I make more now than I did at a really big national. I have really good accounts now too and that makes a difference in my line count. Also, they don't frown (too much) on overtime. Just my experience.
amphion
I don't mind the mandatory OT. For me it has never been a problem. I have great accounts and can average around 225-275 LPH even when I have to switch accounts. My supervisors have been nothing but accommodating to me and as I see (being a former manager myself) they deserve what they make and then some. I have been on early in the morning and late at night and my supervisor replies quickly if I have problems. I think, exAmphion, that it is time for you to move on if you are not happy. Amphion may not be a fit for everyone, but I am sure glad I found it.
Amphion does I know. nm

I just took a job with Amphion and was wondering if anyone else uses shorthand instead of EXText?  I like shorthand better and was wondering if it is okay to put it on my work computer? 


Thanks in advance for any help!


Amphion!
Does anyone think the way Amphion does things is time consuming - AKA demos/looking up doctors constantly etc.?  There are many shortcuts they could use in my opinion.  Just curious!
Amphion and ESL's?

Can anyone currently working at Amphion tell me if they have a lot of ESL reports?  Just curious! 


Thanks!


Almost never have an ESL for Amphion.
Can't even remember when the last time was.
Amphion and ESL's?
Do you type on a clinic or hospital account?
amphion
Amphion does not have a lot of ESLs, nor do they have a lot of work! They are over-hiring!!! We are sitting with no work. Rumor has it they have outsourced.
Amphion
Would anyone know if Amphion is a good company to work for?
My take on Amphion
I am a black female who took their online test. I have taken several MT tests and always do a 'select all' and copy and save the test in Word. I started this habit after one site froze on me in the middle of testing.

Anyway, after each screen I did the above and saved all of my answers. The first page asks you to provide your race...I did. After finishing the test and not hearing anything back, I called a few times before I reached the appropriate person. This person told me that they did not have an opening for my skill set at that time. I was certain that I did very well on the test. I asked this person if she could tell me if my score was less than adequate or what??? She said that they do not release the results of the test...just that they could not offer a position.

The next day, I had a girlfriend log on to their test site and put the very same answers I used and we also copied and pasted the typed dictation portion...everything was exactly the same except her race is 'caucasian'. They called her the very next day and offered her a position. I'm not making any declarative statement about Amphion...and am the last person to use the 'race card' issue. I found this to be quite interesting to say the least.
Amphion
I need to know anything you can tell me about Amphion -- QUICK!
not just amphion
From the looks of this board, and my own personal accounts, things are slow just about all over! I pray it picks up soon!
