Does anyone work for Amphion doing Radiology? Do you feel you can be productive on pay-per-report p - floridian

Posted: Sep 06, 2010

Does your PTO add up quickly this way also?

Please let me know and thank you for your time!

the people from my co who went said no--what they dont tell - LB1234

Amphion stays mum about a WHOLE lot with radiology-- Like, you don't get the SMALL reports. They are normals or macros for the doctor and YOU NEVER SEE THEM as an editor. When you are trying to figure it out--and I tried-- they NEVER tell you that their EXTREMELY LOW per report rate is ONLY the LONG LONG LONG reports. Ask them and see if they even answer the question. They won't.

65 cents per report. - TEX

is what they told me. Hope that helps Floridian.

oh no - I was told...

I was told 60 cents per report free text and 4 cpl on Triton VR...grrr

Keystrokes pays $1.10 or more for free text and $0.75 for Powerscribe editing. nm - Do not sell yourself short

I should've stayed - oh no

I should've stayed with Keystrokes a long time ago. I had my interview with Amphion last week, but have not said yay or nay yet so I'm going with a big NAY. SOMEONE KICK ME PLEASE..

Give them a call. I did and am glad I did. sm - RadPro

I worked for them years ago and did not have a great experience. I went back a few years ago and am glad I did. They know that they were not so great when they first started getting big but they've worked hard to improve that and really have. I think that if someone gives them another chance, they are willing to do the same. That's what they told me. I'm glad I did and hope you do too. Email if you want.

Jeez! TransTech pays $1.00 for PowerScribe editing. - KittyKatz

Those companies should be ashamed of themselves. I'm sure they charge as much to the client as TT and are pocketing the difference. Shame!

Shame, shame, shame... - Carol

They truly should be, but they aren't...those evil folks will be typing for Dr. Lucy Fer for eternity they way they treat people!!

Can someone tell me what PowerScribe Editing is? Thanks!

Heck, I'm calling Transtech. A buck a report for PS editing? I can make - Soon to be former KSer

a killing at that. Thanks for the info Kitty.

Except they don't have enough work to keep anyone busy in Powerscribe. - BTDT with TT

[ In Reply To ..]
I can make $1 a report but only get 20 reports a day. With KS, I am getting $.75 per report and doing 25 reports an hour, sometimes more.

Are you not getting enough work with KS? Email me and I can ask my lead if there is room on the account I am; I think that they are hiring for 2 more openings.

The problem with posting rates is that there are variables at all the companies. sm - RadMT

I make more than that for PS and for free text. I have been there a while and have 25 years of experience, but it is higher than that.

Abysmally low, do not accept a job with them - unbelievable

PTO is based on hours worked, not your actual production. It's a sticky-wicket to make sure your hours match your production (IOW, if you type 2000 lines in 5 hours actual keyboard time but in 8 hours, the 8 is how your #s are based- and I just threw those #s out as an example).

For me, there was very little radiology available on a frequent basis, so had to pitch in in other report types.

The pay is LOW for the reports and yes, very, very few long reports.

The snag you with the 2 months of paid training, but ask yourself why anyone would NEED two months to train on anything.

Did the doctor change his mind on the patient's position, or is it just a gap because he got distracted and repeated himself. Gee, should I put modified or not put in that word? I would say the doctor was distracted and repeated himself, but who knows (except QA). I have been smacked too many times to make any decision. This is what happens when you treat a dog like we have been treated - too leary to take any action! Should have included that in the company survey! ...

I got a rather lengthy dictation by the most horrifying ESL physician who happened to be dictating next to the emergency room radio for traumas or something similar (bad dictator + lots of radio noise + already noisy emergency room).

I spent an enormous amount of time in the report, and yet I was still not careful enough not to make 2 very stupid mistakes. Yes, they ...

Hi everybody, I have been utilizing Instant Text for about 6 months now, which has helped my production. However, I know there are many things I can do to update, improve my Instant Text glossaries. I really do not use the Word glossary because I found that it was hard for me to look at both glossaries at the same time. I mainly use the phrase glossary. For Instant Text users, here are some of my questions: 1. I mainly transcribe ED reports. Do you think it is more productive to ...
