What is a good daily line count for RAD MT? - Missy Rad


Posted: Sep 09, 2011

I have always been paid by report.  What is a good line count per day (8-hour shift) for a good radiology MT?

Thanks for any help.

 

150 lines per hour is average, 200+ is excellent. - NCMT - nm

rad lines - shorty

150 is generally production. I can do 200 plus some when there are only a few docs working. During the week type 30 plus docs a day, and not the same ones every day I average about 170-180. Very few normals. Looking forward to typing for a smaller group, sure line counts will be better.

THANKS EVERYONE - MISSY RAD

I have been a radiology MT for the past 5 years... my average is about 2200 lines per day (7-hour shift). I can do upwards of 400 lines per hour.

That's great. What system are you working on? I have always been paid per report for 20 years so being paid by line is new to me. Hard to believe, but true. I use word-based programs now so I am really fast. I think this new account uses Meditech which I hate, but at least I can use my shortcut program on. Thanks.

Anyone Else Having Problems Meeting Daily Line Count?
May 06, 2015

My main account just switched to full-time EPIC, and I can't achieve the minimum 150 LPH no matter how hard I try.  The text is usually 1 to 10 lines, but the ADT still has to be filled in and checked and a QA marker left for the information not given.  I figure I am typing 5 lines free and 10 lines paid each dictation.  Add to the mix an ESL dictator, and I fall behind even further.  Anyone else?  ...

Jan 06, 2011

Below is a response when asked to clarify compensation from a prospective employer.   As an "old school" MT, I am unsure as to how to interpret this.  I've always been paid by th hour. I need to make a decision.  Thanks in advance - .09 to .o93 cpl per line for traditional typing and editing lines being 1.5 lines = 1 traditional line.  The range depends upon your quarterly quality score.  So many years experience should be way up there in quality, huge benefi ...

Hello, everyone.  I am currently two years as an IC for a company (I'd rather not name) and am kind of unsatisfied.  I can make my own hours, which is a plus, but the pay is VERY low.  I am thinking of shopping around but I don't know if my word count is good enough to count as average, above or below.  My average is 350-400 lines an hour edited or 150ish lines an hour standard (as you all know, this depends on what doctors I get for the day).  I am currently b ...

Line Count...
Sep 19, 2012

I have been working for this company for about 18 month and so far so good. It was even bought out by a bigger company and everything stayed the same with no problems. They don't bother me, I do my work and everything is fine. About 6 months ago my line count started going way down and I really just chalked it up to not being able to concentrate as much because my baby started walking and basically making it impossible for me to work. For the past week my line count has about doubled. ...
