Pricing question - Cheri

Posted: Dec 10, 2012

Sorry if this is a duplicate - I typed this out once and then I was told message didn't go, so I'm trying again.

Two of the doctors I transcribe for have begun faxing me a lot of paperwork, the other day I received 40 pages from one doctor.

Is there a "typical" rate to charge for faxing so that I can recoup my paper and ink expense? So far I have been just "rounding up" my time.

Thanks.

Cost of doing business, which you can write off on your taxes. Unfortunately, if you start nickeling and diming the client, you might lose them. I too have incurred a significant amount of money and time doing things not originally in my contract. Otherwise, you might bring this additional cost to the attention of the office manager. Good luck!

I can definitely relate. I now have over $7000 per month in overhead costs, not including computer costs (5) or medical.
