On-time Transcription--is it worth it?

I'm an IC and don't make a great line rate (9 cents/line) but I'm fast and my doctors are easy so it works out to a fairly good rate/hour. My question is I've recently been given a new account with a doc who does reports that are on average only 20 seconds long. I have to cross-reference the day sheets to find the spelling of the patients' names, as well as look up the referring doctors' addresses, etc. I can't stand doing these reports as you ...

Has anyone heard if this company is worth working for? I have a friend who works there but she says the pay is very low and their Director recently left, which doesn't bode well. ...

It was recently suggested to me that I get Dragon Medical practice Edition, Version 2 for use on transcription, coding, billing and editing. As someone who works from home, I am hoping to investigate the pros and cons of investing in this program and whether its worth it ($1,399.00!!) Does anyone have any experience using this program for transcription, etc who would like to comment? Is it worth the time investment and the money investment? Is the program fairly easy to set up and use ie: l ...

any info? Nothing recent in the archives. Thx ...

Any recent info on this company, good or bad? Anyone work there? I checked the archives, but am looking for something recent. Thanks! anon ...

Does anyone know where an MT can work very part-time and have American dictators - I am a retired MT - I quit because I was getting too many ESLs and lots of the good dictators were going to India - sometimes I miss it as retirement isn't for everyone but if I could just make my own hours and be very part-time I would consider it. I don't have a clue who hires part-time and who has American doctors with good speaking sound - Not sure if anything like this exists today - anyway - ...

Has anyone worked for this company? I would like to know the usuals - how they pay, good to work for?, etc. I can't find one thing by running a search. Thanks! ...

Hello. I'm really needing a second job to make ends meet because of little work here lately and needing more money. Was thinking applying for Landmark part time if possible. Question: Is this as an independent contractor or actual employee? I would rather do individual contracting since I have my other job as an employee and would have a little bit more flexible hours. Also, if employee, do they provide you with computer, etc.? I looked at website but didn't find my answe ...

Hiring again? Ad stated if necessary, need to provide 2-3 written references. How 'bout they do the same. Doubt if they could do that. IF the QA lady (the only one they have who is crazy anyway) can get her head out of the garbage can, she might contact you with bits and pieces of her so-called brain. The owner is just as bad. Beware of this company. It is a total waste of time. They scam your lines and lie about it. They scam your space ...

I have never had this difficult a time researching a transcription company as this one. They are the great unknown. Even on this forum no-one knows anything about them. I congratulate them for knowng how to keep themselves off the radar, but it makes me suspicious of them. I remember reading about them a while back, and that you can work at home but you wind up making around $9 an hour. If anyone has current information about them from 2015, please post it. Pe ...

Does anyone work part time with Allegiant Transcription? They used to require a certain number of lines per day, several days per week, but was wondering if that had changed. I am thinking about applying, but would like to hear of anyone's experience with them, and number of hours worked. Thank you. ...

I am currently working at a company and with the way things are going with all of these companies, I am just afraid of layoffs. It's sad to see all of the same transcription companies on the job boards hiring, and it seems by reading the boards none of them are worth working for. I sure wish when I decided to go into transcription I could have looked into the future a few years. I have been doing transcription now for 6 years. I am thankful I do have my job still and ...

I used to work for 3-T and they lost accounts so we let go. Now have been in touch with them because they have obtained new accounts. Anyone else in this position? I think I would like to work for them again but reading the recent posts about the company causes me concern. The glitch now is about the computer. I can use my own if I upgrade or buy one from company. Not sure what to do here and now I feel like I am getting a bit of a runaround on the subject. My initial excitement is ...

Hello, I am looking for part time medical transcription work during the work week. ...

Hi, I recently spoke to someone from Turn Around Time Transcription. I had found their ad on mtjobs.com. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company? They use the Medrite XL platform and the owner told me all the transcriptionists said it was an easy platform to work on, but then I looked it up and MTs were complaining about the line counts being so low. Any info on either the company or the platform? Thanks, Kathy ...

I was a student at M-TEC and dropped out. I have all 3 SUM CDs still. One is opened and 2 are still sealed. I just don't know what these are worth and can't find anyone selling them that has a listed price anywhere. Thanks in advance for your help on this! ...

Editing at .04 cpl, is it worth it? For 250 lines per hour, that is $10 an hour. Maybe that is good considering we work at home? Seeking opinions, please. Not trying to start a war. ...

I invite any person of management in any MTSO to sit at their computer for an entire shift and see what we go through day after day and see if they feel they are being paid a proper, living wage. There are way too many factors that eat into the paltry wage we start out with, and it's high time this was recognized as an occupational hazard and we are duly compensated. It's only going to get worse, not better, if something isn't done. Of course, I realize nobody r ...

Looking for a job is terrifying, heart-in-throat time. On the other hand...you discover there are jobs with YEARLY EVALUATIONS (yes!)...RAISES (double yes!)...PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES (I can't believe it!)...absolutely stunning, you don't realize how brainwashed you are, how hammered you are, till you GET OUT. Scared...but free. Don't think of it as shaking like a leaf. Think of it as fluttering like a butterfly. ...

We are worth more in so many ways. I am very disheartened with the way things have changed in our profession. We used to be paid much better, and have a better chance of moving up the ladder as well. Now we are almost at poverty level on wages. I really don't understand how anyone can expect people who are very highly trained and specialized in this field to live on what we are being paid, or to treat us as if we are second-class citizens. I would challenge any ...

I'm curious. How many of you cheering on this lawsuit think that things will change in a way that you will be paid "what you are worth?" And what are you worth? I mean seriously? Is someone who does a lousy job as valuable as someone who does a stellar job? Is someone with a shoddy education as valuable as someone with a first-class education? How about those with no formal education at all? What is it you all think you will really accomplish with a law ...

I graduated a year and a half ago from a very good MT school. I graduated with high honors and felt ready to tackle this profession. I wanted to do this because it has always been my dream to be a stay at home mom and with this profession I felt like I got the best of both worlds. When I researched MT are suposed to make 30K or more. So I figured as a newbie maybe 20K or even 18K. Wow was I wrong. I got hired about 2 months out of school which was a huge relief but things rapidly went down hill. ...

I'm getting ready to buckle down and study for my CMT. I got my RMT this spring and promised myself that I would get the CMT before I forgot too much. I'm having trouble motivating myself to memorize all the abbreviations (this seems to be a favorite type of question), so I'm wondering how folks who have their CMT feel about whether or not it has helped them with their career or not. Thanks for encouragement or discouragement. I'd really like to know. ...

I have over 30 years experience. I have worked in 2 major hospitals and as an independent contractor. I know what I am doing. Problem is, I am human. I make mistakes. But with this company, 1 mistake is huge. It can bring your accuracy score down below their guidelines. Just for a left out word that does not change the context. I have just about had enough. I really don't have to be talked to like a toddler when I make a mistake.&n ...

I currently make 9 cpl but curious if it would be worth it to jump over to MME. Thanks ...

I would love to hear from my fellow MTs what you think we are worth, not by the line but by the hour. Indeed as I was doing research regarding "piece work" in America, I found very little information except that it went back to the guild system. However, I did learn that in England, if you do piece work (cpl, for example) and you are required to sign in and sign out, you cannot be paid for production, but only an hourly wage. So what do you think we are worth? Let's consider whe ...
