Pay is based on a 50 character line fo both sides.

Pay as follows:
Back dictation: 0.93 cents per line for clinic visit note and 0.12 cents per line for radiology reports. Back dictation transcriptionists work directly in the chart.

Current dictation: 0.89 cents per line, typing in Word.

I made a mistake in quoting pay. - current employee

I am sorry but I made a mistake for current dictation cents per line.

The pay for current is 0.079 cents per line.

I appologize for my mistake. A penny makes a big difference.

Shouldn't that we 0.079 cents per line? 79 cents a line would be unbelievably high.

0.079 doesn't seem so great - no?

Unless you got good dictators. I didn't pass their test last year, it was horrid.

i currently work at PF. Can't remember exactly, but if you take your character count and divide by 65, the line rate comes out closer to 9 or 10 cents per line. They just use the 50 character line instead, but it's the same either way.

I had heard the 50 character line makes up - for all the mandatory abbreviations

Is that correct? That there are a lot of abbreviations/shorthand and a different way of transcribing that is unique to PF? I think I read somewhere that's one reason they'll never go to VR, which is a good thing.

yes, there is a list of abbreviations they use. A lot are the same ones used in regular transcription. It's really not as many abbreviations, but more of what words aren't to be used, at least in my opinion. No he/she, pronouns, or names. Cannot use the word denies, have to use No instead. Can't use the word some, as in patient has some fever. It should just be patient has a fever. Those sorts of things. Basically you are rewriting what dictator says so it's more concise. Hope this helps.

curious as to what the line count per day is? - nm

Warning for MTs interested in Patient First Transcription. Beware... This is a very difficult company to work for. First, the platform is extremely difficult as it is working in DOS.

Hours are in dispute constantly. In short, really think about working on a DOS-based system (lines decrea ...
