Deltas are a handful of MTs who are traineed on all accounts and work on whatever account needs help.

TTS-you will run out of work every day. The pay is low. - Avoid this company.

TTS pays 6cpl and 3cpl. Hate to see the hourly rate and what you have to do for it.

TTS-Delta. Forgot to add.... - Bear

You do at least 7 different accounts and you are QA'd each month on all accounts. I made more doing straight typing than the hourly pay. Not there anymore.

That must have been pretty - good pay

Sounds like good pay for typing if you made more. I think I will apply with them. Thank you for the heads up.

Sounds like...sounds like Bear is fishy to me. - anon

Sounds like good pay? They pay 6cpl and 3cpl so they are going to pay you hourly? Where is that add and for Delta? Not here that I have seen...so which leads me to believe a recruiter or a supervisor just posted how good it sounds and they will apply because nobody is biting that 6 and 3 cents. Being on different accounts 7 or 9 different accounts and their different account specifics is not an easy task either. Maybe if it were 20 dollars an hour and for 1000 lines a day...like it should be...it would be a career again. So I believe your 'heads up' is because you are at the top somewhere.

I would avoid them, too. They're much too inconsistent with QA. One week you're the best thing in the world and the next they're threatening to fire you. It really is interesting.

Premier Office Technologies out of Cleveland Ohio pays $12 per hour on some of their accounts. They've been around a long time. Good luck getting paid; my pay is now a month behind and I didn't receive a check in December which meant no Christmas at my house.

I am thinking of getting into medical transcription but all I read on here is negative posts about how little work is available and how you are all getting paid less than you were last year. Now, please don't flame me, I know this is a cheeky question, but to be quite honest ".08 cpl" doesn't mean much to me. Would anyone mind telling me what they actually earn per hour (when the work is there) and how many hours per day they generally work. It will just give me an id ...

I've been out of the transcription loop for the last 2 years while I've been getting my registered nursing degree. I did transcription for 20 years until I got tired of the nonsense. I'm done with school, studying to take my boards, but have been offered an hourly part-time position. Can someone tell me what hourly pay is going for now? I was production paid for most of my transcribing years for the last few years I took an hourly employee ...

I'm re-applying to MQ as I desperately need a job. My question is, are you all able to make at least $10.00 per hour still?? I ask because in searching around, it looks like $10.00 is the best I'm going to be able to do. I do radiology so I will probably end up doing a lot of editing which I have never done before, so I'm just curious to see if $10.00 is realistic doing both straight typing and/or editing? Any info appreciated. Such a shame that its c ...

Can anybody please tell me what is a fair hourly rate for a transcriptionist in a single-doctor office in Texas? The last time I worked as an MT in a clinic was 18 years ago. I then worked for a large hospital and made about $9 more an hour than my highest clinic pay. After getting laid off, I worked for N for a few months and have been out of the MT field for a little over a year. Thanks in advance! ...

Hi all. I'm a newbie to these boards. I've been reading all the posts here about the VR programs. More production + more hours = less pay. Does anyone here work for a company that has gone to an hourly rate instead of pay per line? And if so, what are your thoughts/experience on this? I'm working for a company that has changed us all over to hourly pay and I'm still very unhappy. ...

Also, how much experience do Account Manager/Shift Manager types have? Years ago I worked for a couple of MTSOs and my "supervisors" had less experience than me (and would have to ask me to figure out blanks in reports) so I'm guessing its often just a matter of how long you've been there and who you know and sometimes how much you're willing to put up with (one supervisor bragged that she worked about 20 hours a day). ...

... it is still not possible to make minimum wage even for those of us who edit VR at lightning speed, because there is no work during many of the shifts (mine). I've been promised another account, told no other shift is available. A line rate increase will not help me at all. They have sent most of the work overseas now, lost a few accounts, and cannot afford to lose all US MTs. I am aware of nine others besides me, who have lawyers. Quick, numerous complaints from ...

Last week I asked what you all thought was a fair hourly rate for a one-doctor clinic MT. I went to the interview on Tuesday. The job ad was for a "medical records transcriptionist." The office uses an EMR. The nurse practitioner uses the EMR, but the doctor uses a piece of paper that resembles the EMR screen and checks the appropriate boxes and writes additional comments. The job is to take those papers and input the data in the EMR. It's not actual transcription, no headset or foot pedal ...

One of my providers is going to switch over to EMR. I've looked into the program and it's got a similar document section to MS Word. However, with them going to EMR, I'm assuming I'll lose quite a bit of my bulk work (macros, etc) that I currently have with "straight typing." So my question is this ... is it worth it to transcribe EMR for a CPL rate or is it better to renegotiate my "contract" and go hourly? I'm an IC/MTSO so get no benefits. Would ap ...
