Does Medquist still have 2 pay rates--one for straight transcription and one for speech recognition? ...

What pittance rates DOES MQ pay these days for VR and for straight typing? (Again, as I mentioned elsewhere on the board, I ask because my department is beginning union pay negotiations as we move to using DocQSpeech for most of our work, so I expect management will be trying to use MQ's pay rates as their point of reference.) Thanks! ...

I have been working as an MT for a little over 2 years now and was wondering what the going rates for transcription and editing reports are? I am currenly an IC doing only transcription at a rate of $0.065 per line. The line is definced as 65-black character line and it does not include spaces. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Who can make a living on VR rates??? I've come to the conclusion, like so many others, it's time to move on. Been an MT for 9 years. Went from making $24 an hour gross to making less than minimum wage with VR! So sad. ...

Hello all...after 17 years, I'm sick of playing by others rules and want to venture into the world of IC. Could those of you doing IC work give me an idea of what to be asking per line? Any insight into any aspect of IC would also be helpful. Thanks! ...

My transcription business has decreased due to EMR. Now I've been offered a job to proof the EMR. What should I expect in compensation? By patient? By hour? Plan to continue to work from home. Thanks! ...

Do you think the MTSOs cut their rates to their clients who are now using VR just as they have cut their MTs rates? Seems that some MTSOs are scrambling for some reason to cut everyone's pay down (even their MT pay, not just ME pay). I wonder if they are in over their heads with this new venture into VR and losing their arses and realizing it isn't quite the godsend everyone is making it out to be. One can hope, and would serve them right! As far as MTSO rates are co ...

I am an IC in northeast Ohio. Anyone know what the going rate is for QA editors in this part of the country? Does the price vary from state to state that much? I am in the midst of negotiating my MT contract with a client and want to document the cost of a QA Editor (which I provide myself for free, now). Thanks for your help! ...

I know rates of pay have plummeted in the past year or two. Most of the posts I can find for average rates of pay are from 2 yrs ago or older. Ballpark estimates for experienced transcriptionists please, both straight transcribing and VR: Hospital Acute care? Clinic notes? Radiology? (per line and per report rates) Gracias ...

I've been charging 13 cents a line for a 55 character line since 1989. Have rates gone up? I've been hiding out in my cave for a number of years now just doing my own thing and have not kept track of market trends. Please let me know! Thanks. ...

I have worked from home for several years for a local hospital..they pay $1.00 per minute for regular dictation (op notes, H&P, etc) and .10 per line for clinic notes. I am wanting to ask for rate increase...how much should I ask for? $ 1.25, 1.50, etc. ...

I'm interviewing for a new job next week, and have to travel 2 hours to the office for the interview and test. I hate to get there and then be offered chump change... she told me they pay per page. All pages are relatively brief, 25 lines max. Can anyone tell me what to expect them to say? i.e. what is the going rate when being paid by the page? thank you very much !! ...

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 ...

Has anyone received a letter about calculating your new benefit rate? I have had the same rate since probably last spring. I don't think they are calculating them every six months even though they say they do. I went on vacay in June and I am making the same benefit rate now that I was then. That was 8 months ago. I know for a fact that my benefit rate is now higher than it was then,maybe that is why. It is cheaper for them to keep it lower. ...

I recently had an interview for a company I applied for last year (they opened new accounts). The interview seemed fine and I was offered the position, however I turned it down. The are paying 2.5 cpl SR with 1800 lines expected per day (actually was told some of the "lazier" MTs only typed 1400, thought this was rude of her to say) and ST 5 cpl but no minimum was mentioned as majotiry is SR. I have over 13 years in the MT field. I know wages have dropped recently but is 5 cpl t ...

Does anyone know what is the average line/report rate that the hospital vendors are paying to these companies for our services? Years ago, one of the hospitals I worked for was paying 20 cpl. I got 10 cpl for being a lead, but new hires were getting 8.5. Just wondering what the rates are now. ...

I have recently acquired an account. I did not know what to charge and was unable to find out what the going rates were (no one wants to tell). About 10 years ago, I was paid 12 cents per gross line but then went into being an employee until now. Anyway, I ended up giving a price of 15 cents per 65-character line. I went with character line because they have a funky format with very narrow margins and a small font. I do not know still how it compares with what ...

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'. ...

For those using VR or ASR at the going low rates today, do you feel on a fairly difficult account you can make the same amount of money as doing straight transcription. This is using the DQS system. ...

Here is a link to the pass/fail rates for AHIMA certification exams. http://www.ahima.org/certification/documents/2007_2009_CertificationExamPassRates.pdf Please note that even AHIMA itself recommends a minimum of 3 years of hospital coding experience before attempting the CCS exam, and they have good reason for doing so. The test is very challenging. Yes, people may pass without that experience, but most will not. This is not an inexpensive exam, either. The fig ...
