ACCENTUS--VBC? or just really good line rates? - Alice
Posted: Apr 04, 2012
Is Accentus still just paying for visible black characters and no spaces? I see that their recent ad mentions line rates, but doesn't state anything about spaces..
I don't work there so don't know but sometimes good line rates - make up for difficulty either technical or verbal.
[ In Reply To ..]But - I don't know that about Accusis either, just general statement based on other accounts I have worked.
I would go for it...there are still decent companies out there, we are just so used to being BS'd by BS'ers. You'll find out in the interview.
GOOD LUCK!!!
I notice it's a CPL range they posted - Open to interpretation
[ In Reply To ..]I believe they posted a range of 7-10 CPL for straight typing and another range for editing, so who knows? Maybe it actually *does* start commensurate with experience in that range, or maybe it means everyone starts at 7 CPL for straight typing, with the opportunity to work up to that 10 CPL over a period of 5, 10 or 20 years...or sudden death of the MT. Ditto for the editing CPL range.
I agree with you. We've been fed so many misconceptions about salary that I'd certainly clarify what that "7 to 10 CPL" (and whatever the editing range was) *really* means.
or it could be an incentive plan. I applied but have not heard back - or I would have the answer via interview NM
[ In Reply To ..].
There is an incentive plan, tiers of pay based on lph. nm - Hope this helps
[ In Reply To ..]acc
perhaps that's why I never heard back - high producer without tiers. - and maked that on app form.
[ In Reply To ..].
Not sure I understand what that has to do with anything. sm - Dense MT
[ In Reply To ..]The tiered structure is to encourage you to produce more, so obviously they want high producers. To say they turned you down because you are a high producer without any incentive does not really make any sense to me, unless I'm missing something.

"Perhaps that's why I never heard back" sounds like turning you down. nm - forgotten
[ In Reply To ..]xx
Turning you down and not contacting you for an interview - Are pretty much the same thing
[ In Reply To ..]No need to get snarky with the other poster...I'm sure you're not the only one who didn't get contacted for an interview. I sincerely doubt your high production was the problem, however.
thank you Pete and Repeat. I stand corrected, corrected. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]LOL!
Think I know now why they didn't call you back. nm - odd
[ In Reply To ..]vvvv
Well, don't you know all..... - anon
[ In Reply To ..]EXCEPT A JOKE WHEN YOU READ ONE. AS OLD A KNOCK, KNOCK....
You never heard Peat and Repeat were sitting in a boat...?
sheesh.
to dense - where I come from, they do not neccessarily want - anon
[ In Reply To ..]to pay the higher rate if they don't have to as with those who only shoot for the minimum. The incentive tier being attractive an all, sometimes just a lure. Depends on company.
accentus/transolutions US acute care - anon
[ In Reply To ..]They still pay VBC, but it is a 55 character line, which makes it come out to about the same as WITH spaces and a 65 character line. Pay overall is pretty good compared to other companies I have worked for (M*Modal, Nuance) and they pay different rates for different hospitals to help if there are more difficult accounts. Good luck on whatever you decide!
What platform does Accentus use? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Accentus platform - anon
[ In Reply To ..]They use Apex, not the best and not the worst I have used. You still need to use the mouse to do some of the functions (not many) which I do not like, but I got used to it and can make a fair wage, which is more than I can say for a few other companies I worked at!
they do not pay spaces but 55 line which - equals 65 line w/ spaces

I've been working for Medquist/M-Modal now for 11 years Full-time. I was one of those grandfathered in that took a pay cut last year as Medquist deemed they would not pay above .10 cents a line. Now the kicker to all this is I have a friend who I just got hired, and her initial OFFER was to START at .10 cents a line. I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I am appalled at this ... how someone can start at the top wage. I have already sent an email ex ...

Line Rates Like 3 Cpl For Editing
Jan 04, 2010
I am looking at ads here and keep seeing things like 3 cpl for editing. Who could work for that rate and why? These MTSOs really need an awakening. No one should work for 3 cpl. Is there anyone who does editing for that kind of rate and actually earns a living? I say more MTs need to stand up for themselves and say no to this. Just sayin'. ...
Transcend Line Rates
Nov 29, 2011
Greetings, fellow transcriptionists. I've been in the field for over 15 years. Due to a recent buyout of my current MTSO by a huge conglomerate, there is talk of our line rates being cut, apparently down to as low as 8 cents a line. Needless to say, I'm considering looking elsewhere since this is a major paycut. I'm eyeballing Transcend as I've heard good things and know they used to pay decently. Anyone in the know, do they still go up to 9 cents a line or are the ...

Line Rates/spaces
Aug 11, 2012
Does getting paid for spaces add about 2 cents to line rate? I was getting 10 cpl for an account (not paid for spaces) and then lost that to offshoring. The new account pays 8 cpl, but paid for spaces, so they say that's equivalent. Does that sound right? Is that the average rate now? Interesting article just stumbled on: http://mttoolsonline.com/2011/01/26/medical-transcription-theres-just-no-money-in-it/ ...

I worked for the same company for 17 years before the MQ acquired it. I ended up quitting in 2004. At that time, I was making 9.5 cpl and had "topped out" at that rate, not having had a raise in more than a year. Since then, I have been job-hopping and cannot seem to find contentment with any company. In my experience, t ...

Personal Stand: MT And ME Line Rates (sm)
Nov 09, 2009
I have decided I will not accept any MT transcription rates lower than 9 cpl (in an employee position) or 11 cpl (in an IC position). For medical editing, I'm not going to work for lower than 50% of the transcription rate. For me, it will just not be worth it to do it for less. I am willing to go work inhouse and even do other work rather than to accept line rates lower than this. I see one keeps putting up the same ad with 8 cpl for MT work and 3 cpl for editing a ...

Can anyone explain to me the line rates on the new pay stubs. Mine is not showing my actual lines, just the money. When I go to the web site for the breakdown it shows 4 different rates that seem to vary from week to week. They are Week 1 TR, Week 2 TR, Week 1 SR and week 2 SR. I know we may get less pay for a QA report, but I rarely send in reports for QA. Do the audits count as QA'd lines for the lesser line rate.. Should I call my CCM or just pay ...
