AMPLA HEALTH

8 am to 530. constant workflow all day then when ehr came in the whole environment changed. everyone   struggled with it because of all of the new policies came in then it made it more paperwork oriented instead of client care which made it difficult to complete your duties on time and basically the moral of the staff became very bad. all in all it was great working experience but the problem was we were not doing very much on hands with the clients that we used to. it became more referrals and checking prior authorizations for insurance than client care. learned vaccines and child health development physicals. diabetes care nutrition insulin therapy setting up for pap smear and a lot of outpatient care injections. culture was nice we had taken care of many different culture and peers from many different cultures and backgrounds. i had the pleasure of working with friendly peers. management constantly invented new policies in order to receive funds but they would give there people that were not qualified to train us. this basically started in 2013 with the entrance of ehr system.

Typical day at work. The charge get the rooms check all phone notes check on referrals check XRays . I have learned a lot at Ampla Health by other coworkers. Management at the Ampla Health in Olivehurst I’m not reliable. They put more on us. They expected to do their job. I don’t think they are educated enough to be managers. They make me feel uncomfortable every time they call us in the office for something that has to do with work. They direct the conversation or the demand not how can we fix this? Workplace culture is good. Variety of people learn new things from each other. The hardest part of my job is when your manager gives you a job but your rooming patience at the same time and expect you to do it with no complaints. Most enjoyable. part of my job is to work with great coworkers, great receptionist and great patient and doctors.

I had lots of fun working at Ampla Health. My co workers were friendly and nice and would help me when i was in need with my work. A typical day at work would be rooming patients and checking there vital signs. I learned more about infectious diseases and how they can be avoided. I got to work with a infectious diseases health provider and learned about different infectious diseases and how they were being spread. I hardest part of my job would be working on a busy day and working with low staff or providers, but i was able to perfume at my best. The most enjoyable part of my job was that i got more experience working at Ampla Health. I worked with several different providers and i got to administer injections and got to meet new great people in the medical field.

The pay was decent but it is thrown in your face anytime you make a complaint especially about management, HR doesn't take complaints seriously, Site Admins gaslight you and yell at you, tell you if you don't like it there to go and find somewhere else to work. PTO is granted based on favorites, when people quit staff is blamed, very cliquey and its one side of the building against the other and the receptionists against the MA's. MA's have NO room for advancement. Health insurance is cheap for employee but if you add kids and spouse you make pennies. Insurance was good but no one wants to take it anymore because of so many claims unpaid. Free lunches from reps sometimes and there are some good providers there but the management is the problem especially the narcissistic ones.   

The pay was great!  Benefits were great!  Vacation Great!
Employees are constantly talking behind each other's backs and bickering. It's like a giant competition (for what?). There is no trust in the employees who actually put in the hard work and effort.  Management has no clue how to hold employees accountable.  If you have a problem, don't go to HR they don't care about the employees.  They only care about the company.  If you are a terrible employee they will probably keep you and you will never get in trouble or fired.  (This goes for providers as well. Thank God for Contracts!)  If you value your sanity, don't work there!  If you are a mature adult who just wants to work and do a good job and a fair place to get a decent paycheck 40 hrs a week you might want to look elsewhere.  You know what they say about Bad Apples!


What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay that is it, and Paid Time Off

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The nursing supervisors, cinnamon, straighter’s, and upper management does not manage the clinical sites well. The supervisors and managers interpersonal skills are poor. Therefore, the moral of the company is not great.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on which clinical site you work at.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Rooming patients, checking, patient vitals, giving report to providers, answering phone calls, calling the pharmacy, documentation, working on prior, authorizations for imaging in prescriptions, and doing everything that the providers forget to do.

A typical day at Ampla Health in Chico Califronia, was extremely busy with patients checking in, verifying insurance, confirming appointments and calling all no show patients for two physicians.  On an average day each physician would see at least 18 to 24 patients.  I learned how to use my time wisely by prioritizing the day.  The management kept us updated with the latest protocols for the clinic.  We were informed of any changes to the current programs we used.  The hardest part of the job was the ability to find enough available appointments to get all the patients in when they wanted to be seen.  The most enjoyable part was everyone that I worked with we were like a family.

Usual Internal Medicine and primary care, walk ins, physicals, some procedures, like liquid nitrogen treatments, reading electrocardiograms. Helping mid levels with difficult patients. Many times had to bring a chaperon, eg nurse to the room with me due to patients make up untrue stories, specially those who were not given the narcotics they wanted or those seeking transgender treatments which we could not provide as we referred them to experts on that field.

This has been a great company to work with and I have had the opportunity to watch it grow from one site to sixteen clinic locations. 
I have been given multiple opportunities to develop additional skills and move into different management positions during my career with Ampla Health.  
Ampla Health is very supportive of it's staff and provides a friendly environment that is culturally sensitive, offering flexibility,  growth and learning opportunities.

Typical day at work: posting and reception work such as answering phones, scheduling patient appointments, posting charges and payments
What I learned: customer service, patience, data entry, pre-billing
Management: best management ever
Co-workers: love them all! still keep in touch with most of them
Hardest part of job: not being able to post a provider's charges because he was always behind
Most enjoyable part of job: loving the culturally diverse atmosphere and friendly workers; great benefits!
