Augusta Coding and Transcription charge a monthly fee for their license

I have been reading all of the negative feedback about Augusta Coding and Transcription and I am so upset. I have been with this company for almost two years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. They have been the most flexible and easiest people to work with in the world. There are monthly fees for platform and direct deposit, about $13 per pp, but that is what being an Independent Contractor is all about. I have not worked for a company yet that doesnt charge anything.� ...

Is legal transcription generally priced the same, less than, or more than medical transcription? Also, what is the approximate price difference, if any, in your neck of the woods? Thanks. ...

Hi all, I have been offered a general transcription job today and they will be calling me with a pay rate. I have no idea what is fair pay for this kind of work, as I have always worked in medical transcription. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks ...

Trying to find out what the going rate or at least an idea of what to charge for a non-medical transcription project..Would appreciate any feedback including whether it is still charged by the line or page and what a reasonable rate would be. Thanks! ...

I have an opportunity to transcribe interviews for the county. The files will be anywhere from 15 min to hours long, 3 to 4 of these a week, TAT is 1 week. At the beginning of each interview, the lead interviewer dictates the attendees’ names and reason for participation in the interview. On each transcription, the person speaking must be identified each time he/she speaks. Occasionally more than 1 person speaks at a time and that has to be sorted out and identification made of ea ...

Hi everyone. I have my own transcription business and I normally charge per minute. I just got approached by a law firm and they asked how much I would charge per page. They would be dictating letters. I have no idea how much I should charge. Any ideas? ...

I hope this is the right board to ask this quick question! If not, please re-direct me. A friend of mine has a genealogy business, and does Q & A sessions with people (usually elderly, but some not) about their lives, their family history. She will be needing these interviews transcribed (simple format). Each interview is about 5 minutes of dictation time, and they're digital files that she will e-mail to me, and I'll e-mail them back. No printing invo ...

Recently contacted by a local church pastor to transcribe some sermons for him to make into a booklet form. (Maybe 3 to 4 hours worth of work or about 160 minutes). I have never done or charged for general transcription like that and certainly don't want to over charge a church, yet do not want to do it for free either. They asked me would I want to be paid the same way the hospital pays me? What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance. Forgive me if I pu ...

Accepted a job, gave 2 weeks notice, and yesterday was my first day. I was to be helping out transcription (1000 jobs behind), and then sitting with billing and training with coding as their coder will be out on maternity leave in December. The office is adding another surgeon, and they are rapidly expanding. So I gave a proper 2 weeks' notice to my former employer (2 hours on the road there and back, low salary - now less than half distance and $3 more an hour) and starte ...

We used to get the monthly production bonus as a separate check on the 25th. I didn't get a separate check for this although I should have qualified. Paltry as it is, every little bit helps. I do see an "incentive bonus" on my regular paystub, but I'm not sure if this is from some past incentive I have since forgotten about or if they are now just putting the regular monthly bonus on one statement along with our regular pay. Can anyone help? Is the month ...

Have you found that it's getting less and less for the VERY SAME AMOUNT OF LINES? I got a smaller bonus (piddly as it is) this month for MORE lines than I produced a few months ago and got a larger bonus for. I know the bonus is pretty much based on some kind of whim and/or some computations that require a master's degree in mathematics to figure out, but it would sure be nice if they could be consistent. I guess I should be glad I get one at ALL at this point. ...

I've been an at-home medical transcriptionist for a national company for a little over six years. I loved my job until February when my company went over to VR. I'm not happy with the voice recognition and have decided to go back to school to get certification for coding. I'm wondering if anyone else has transitioned successfully from transcription to coding. Are you able to apply what you've learned in transcription to coding? Are your day-to-da ...

Im planning on taking the MT course soon through MTEC or ANDREWS(still up in air which one). But I would also like to take courses to become a CODER also. I feel it`ll be beneficial to me to be trained & eventually receive my credentials in both. I think it`s best if I go through the MT course first then while Im working I can go through the coding course. Since im obviously new to this I would like to hear your opinions PLEASE. Too bad there isnt an integrated course for both! Thank you all! ...

Has anyone else been seeing a gradual yet substantial drop in monthly bonus amounts? Anyone know what the "pool" amount is these days or is that still top secret? ...

Just read this report, and I find it so ironic and insulting that they institute this new non-productive, mistake-promoting platform and garbage-producing ISR, degrade the sound, and then turn around and blame us for the customer complaints that are coming in about quality of work. They should be looking at their decision to buy it, listen to us about it's shortcomings, and fix it or go back to what worked, we enjoyed using and were productive with quality reports using it!&n ...

For you seasoned MTs, how common is it, as an IC, to be required to pay a monthly fee for the software needed to download audio files? Thanks for your advice! ...

Is medical coding now a better way to go rather than transcription? ...

Just curious if Nuance is into coding and if they specifically hire coders or move their MTs over into coding? TIA. You all are really informative. I am with Transcend now, so am trying to keep my food down reading all the Nuance info. on here. ...

Hey Everyone! I'm going to take a chance and attempt to get some objective answers to my questions. I'm interested in pursuing training to become an MT/Editor, mainly because I'm very interested in working part time from home. I'm an extremely diligent worker with a lot of attention to detail and am very self-motived, which makes me feel like I may have some of what's needed to do the job. I currently work as a law assitant, which is a great job in an extremely crappy w ...

what a shock-not !!! ...

I am a medical transcriptionist that has been typing radiology the last 11 years. My job is going to be phased out by voice recognition soon. I'm thinking of going back to school for medical billing/coding. Has anyone else made this transition? Do you like or hate it? ...

Down below someone said it only comes as a separate check if it is over $100. Mine have always been in the 120 to 150 range and I have gotten a separate check. But for the past 2 months, nothing. CCM has no idea what is up. Just wondering if anyone's bonus if over $100 came, as usual, as a separate check. TIA ...

Does anyone have an idea which career might pay best, medical transcription or medical billing/coding? I am curious about which pays best. ...

At my age, should I try to go to school for medical biilling/coding or just stay wtih transcription or try another job (JoAnn Fabrics, etc.). I am 54 and not sure what to do. Any ideas out there? If coding, what schooll(s) are good on-line or in AZ or OH? Thanks! ...

I wanted to ask anyone out there how to go about leaving the transcription industry (11 years in) and going into medical coding. Do any of you know of a bridge over program at any of the institutes? I got my education at a community college that is nationally accredited so I can transfer credits. Just curious before I start really looking. Thanks ...
