For those of you who did not think Amphion was outsourcing offshore, see the proof that they are.

InterFix expands its international reach
InterFix to provide connectivity infrastructure, software and services for medical transcription services industry in Trinidad & Tobago
InterFix is pleased to announce a comprehensive agreement with e-Teck Ltd., a Trinidad and Tobago Government-sponsored business incubator. "We are delighted to be selected to provide a comprehensive range of software and services by e-Teck" stated Scott Faulkner, Chief Executive Officer for InterFix.
"This agreement expands and enhances both the reach of our consulting services to e-TecK, and at the same time provides a software connectivity infrastructure for the medical transcription services industry to emerge on a strong, long-term footing. Trinidad and Tobago is going to emerge as a highly credible, trusted resource for US-based MTSO's unable to grow due to the global shortage of skilled medical transcriptionists."
Professor Kenneth Julien, Chairman of e-TecK, explained " Trinidad and Tobago are global players in the Liquified Natural Gas, Call Center, Tourism, and several other industries. InterFix is continuing to provide the guidance, insight, and software we need to diversify our economic and employment base, and become a world-class provider of medical transcription for the United States healthcare market over the coming months and years."
The far-reaching agreement includes an enterprise-wide software license, technology design services, and comprehensive marketing consulting designed to develop and support the new industry in Trinidad and Tobago .
Amphion Testimonial
"Amphion Medical Solutions has been working closely with InterFix for over a year and have been very pleased with their service and industry knowledge. We have been able to bring new customers on line much more rapidly and our overall IT expenses in the interface area have been reduced significantly because of InterFix.
Our CTO Michael has implemented over fifty different custom InterFix sessions. The customization capabilities of InterFix--coupled with Michael's experience and skills--has allowed Amphion to bring MT customers on quicker and service them more efficiently. Many of these custom sessions were highly complex, custom ADT applications or document return sessions which were costly, difficult, and timely implementations previous to using the InterFix product. InterFix has solved real business problems for Amphion, reduced our costs, and brought us integration capabilities not previously possible."

Amphion Does Not Offshore
www.amphionmedical.com
When you say they "outsource," do you mean offshore outsourcing?
x
that's called *offshore* outsourcing.
x
To ICs and MTSOs, have you used the offshore outsourcing and HIPPA
issues to educate and as a sales tool? Have you had success with this? I was thinking of having this be the focus of my next round of mailings. I wonder if most clients are even aware that their stuff is going out of country. I am sure that with some companies it would not matter because the money is the bottom line, but I would like to believe at least that with some it would matter, especially with HIPPA issues. What is the current situation with the HIPPA issue at this time?
POLL - Do you proof as you go or proof when finished? sm
I proof after, but would love to proof during. I'm working on it. I'm curious as to what percentage of MTs proof as they go or proof at the end?
Thx for responding.
Please post offshore topics on Offshore Concerns board. (NM)
Thank you.

MT, proof as I go. ME, go back and proof afterwards
I have only been editing 3-4 months, and I find I make at least twice the stupid mistakes on ME as with MT, so I do scan the ME reports --find double periods, caps where they are not supposed to be -- stupid stuff.
good luck!
I proof as I go...nm
/
I proof after - sm
I finish typing...every line of every single report that leaves my desktop. I may find a typo (and, of, or, etc.) rarely, but I still proofread. It's just something that I do  .
I proof after.
k
I proof after
Depending on the report/dictator I can proof during... but I find I catch things better when I proof after. One day I will have the proof during mastered. 
Proof as I go, always have...
x
Proof as you go DEFINITELY
I was trained to never pass over a word or something in question just to finish the report - you will invaribly miss or forget about it if you skip over it for a "final proof."
Have been an Editor for years and I am amazed at what even seasoned MTs will miss because they figured they would "fix" something when the report was finished. And, yes, your spell check or grammar check is never going to catch the difference between perineal and peroneal, etc.
Proof, of course.
Always have. Never proof again. sm
If I catch something other than spellcheck catches, I change. Otherwise, off it goes. Never, ever proof the entire report again.
No Proof
There is absolutely no proof. The Labor Board DENIED her request as I have been in contact with them. This is an ALLEGATION. The Labor Board does NOT handle Indendent Contractor situations. The paperwork sent in by Doris Latta in reference to Lynn Jester of Jester's Touch was FRAUD. It has been dismissed! If you wish to continue to let just anyone post items about MT Services without PROOF, that's fine with me. I care not! The litigation is between Jester's Touch attorney and Doris Latta at this point so I am not concerned because I am very fair and good to all ICs that have and do work with me. 
I proof as I go and sm
There was a time when I really did have to proof each and every word. Last time I had an audit, it was better than 99% which is quite good enough.
There is a way to learn to do this and I can't really tell you want it is I do or how I do it exactly. I have pretty high production (1500 to 1800 lines a day) and few mistakes. I think it is just finding a flow because I have my off days when I have a lot of difficulty.
I proof as I go along
I have so many macros and templates, and because I only do H&P I bascially type the same things all the time for each specific doctor.

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!

Amphion does....
Amphion employees qualify for benefits whether they are PT or FT as long as you meet the line requirement for benefits.
Amphion
No but Amphion does.
It's a good place to work.
Amphion (sm)
seemed to be mainly progress notes (told 70% of their work is that), and they didn't need people much on eves or weekends, when I work. Why the recruiter didn't tell me all this, I dunno. Pay was very, very low for the progress report work. Strict schedule enforcement. And they make you pay to ship you the computer. Neither of the 2 checks I received was correct.
Amphion
What do we know about this company? Thanks in advance.
Amphion sent us something. SM
We got our own CD copy of 2006 Quick Look Drug Reference that we can load on any computer! They also sent us a very nice letter and an Amphion note pad.

Amphion OT
Anyone else getting tired of the mandatory 1 hour every day. It is getting to be a bit much. I do not want to get burned out again this summer. Have to start thinking of other options I guess. We need a break. I know I should not complain as there are some of you out there with no work but every single day. Last year it was 4 months in a row. I refuse to do that again.
