Costs For An IC License ? - caninemom3


Posted: Jun 04, 2012

Hello again, everyone.

Thank you SM for giving me some information on ScribeRight.   I am new at this type of position, and there is no guarantee they will call me or even want me, but if they do get in touch, does anyone here know how much an IC license will cost in Ohio and what the cost might be for a certificate for HIPAA ??    I searched several sites and I am not sure what I should be pricing.  Thanks everyone. 

Where I live, I'm licensed by the city I live in - with a business license

It could be different in different places; but I have a business license in my city to perform miscellaneous business services out of my home. It's somewhere within shouting distance of 30 bucks a year.

I don't even have a license, never have had one. - nm

First of all - whatever county you live in normally determines the cost of licensing for a small business - and you may or may not qualify as a self-employed MT. I have lived in about 4 counties now since starting MT 17 years ago and never have I needed a license. And I have no idea what a certificate of HIPAA is - you normally sign a confidentiality agreement with the company you work with - it is their document - you sign agreeing not to talk about the patient info, delete files in a proper and timely manner, etc. I have also never gotten errors and omissions insurance - I personally think it is ridiculous - with everything digital - and so many people having access to a document - no way will I take responsibility for changes to that document after I have submitted.

Avoid DicTran At All Costs
Nov 03, 2009

DicTran had few reviews online so when we looked into purchasing their platform we could only rely on the deceptive sales presentation from their owner Bill. The company claimed to be able to satisfy all our needs but after we paid them communication became a major issue. Our MT's hate the platform since it forces them to use their custom software which has numerous errors. When we try to contact them for support they just might as well not exist. The worst part of the experience is we pay ...
