A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I have been contacted by the owner of this company through MTstars to possibly do some transcription and editing work for them. She seems like a really nice lady, but at this would only be my second transcription job, I am naturally weary of potential scams etc.
Any suggestions on how to ensure that this is legit?
She sent me some examples of their work (orthopedic exams, a fair amount in the SOAP format) that all seem on the level, and has offered $1.50 per page starting for transcription, $0.25 per page for editing. Is this pretty good? At my previous job doing discharge summaries for a hospital, I was paid 0.08 cents a line, and then the pay jumped to 0.11 cents a line for an output of more than 160 reports in a 2 week period.
Any advise you can give would really help. Thanks :)
