company that will pay an experienced (30 years) MT more than $.09/line?

I work in-house, got the news a week ago that the hospital has hired an outside company to take over the transcription, which will save the hospital millions of dollars. We have the option of going with the other company or simply going home; in other words, take it or leave it. Needless to say, the outsourced company's benefits are not as good in comparison to the hospital's, much more expensive and also this will be strictly voice recognition.&nbs ...

Does anyone know of a company looking for an experienced account manager. TIA ...

I've been an MT for over 5 years and have always been paid by the line. I would think that most MTs preferred wage is to be paid a set amount per hour. If this were not an option, what has given you more of an income, paid by the line or by the AUDIO hour? What I'm currently being offered per audio hour comes out to less than what I was paid per line at my previous job, but the reports are easier to understand so it may be worth it. It is basically both ...

Switching from employee to IC for first time in my life and have seen low rates offered. What is the typically going rate? Shouldn't it be higher for straight typing and because you are an IC and not employee? Thanks! ...

I have been at my company for over 5 years. I was released from QC within 1-2 days but I have never received any audits or even any emails regarding my work. I have 2 other friends at this company and they have never been audited either since being released from QC. One of them is prone to mistakes and was fired from another company because of quality but she continues to make errors at our current company. I have seen her errors because we can search archived reports. Isn't it unusual for ...

I am starting with a company that offers 7.6 cpl on a 50 character line. Is this good and what does it equal money wise on a 65 character line rate? Thanks in advance. ...

Thought that after not having enough work for a couple years now and always chasing work, I'd now have a "real job" as an employee and wouldn't have to worry about a steady paycheck and paying the bills anymore. The reason I thought this was because at the interview and in their professional company emails, they use all the "real job" words: Shift, scheduled hours, overtime, PTO, benefits, etc. I felt relieved to finally have a "job." What a big bunch of BS! I was "hired" ...

There is much speculation about the field of transcription - how many of us actually plan to be here 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now. I realize that the field is going to change, which will contribute to your answer. Will there be enough transcriptionists/editors to fill the need in 5 years and in 10 years? Will the industry be forced out of offshoring because of taxes? Will there be a need even for editors if VR gets better? These are all unanswered questions, but my question is, what ...

Is there a way to count lines I've typed somewhere in MS Word? I want to be able to count lines (or keystrokes, perhaps?) with my own PC's software, not THEIRS, to see if I'm getting cheated. Any ideas? ...

Those are slave wages to a highly experienced QA person. What is the industry stooping to these days? ...

Anyone struggling since your line rates were cut back to less than what you were hired for? I am struggling, but with extra hours, getting by, just barely. It makes it really tough though, when you read that the company, which boasts at being the best thanks to "you", posts a 32.9 Million $ profit for 2011. Wow, I'm sure the stockholders are pleased, in fact, they are saying that TR is a good investment. I'm really proud that I have contribut ...

I am looking for extra cash but am I signing my soul over for this much or is smartype really that productive????? ...

Can we post line rates quoted to experienced MTs this year? I think many of us do not wish to waste applying and testing for a company that is reducing the line rate AGAIN to only .03 cpl. If anyone was offered less than .04/.08, did you turn it down? Did they offer more? Name of company?Thanks for any input. ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wages were more than that 15 years ago!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Tee hee hee hee hee. You just might get a newbie but you certainly will not keep them long!!!! Oh, ho ho ho ho. HA HA HA HA! Why don't you hire a brain surgeon for $30,000 a year? He he he he he. Above minimum wage; he should be impressed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wait - there is more. Hohohohoho, hahahahahahahahahaha. I ju ...

... or they tapdance around the question, I'll bluntly refuse right then and there. I saw some positive remarks, so I thought, on here not long ago so I applied to FastChart. Then after that, find comments about their low pay rate. I just got a response back from them after about 2 weeks. Unless someone is truly desperate and needs to take anything they can get, please try to start demanding a line rate before you waste your time testing and jumping through all those hoo ...

Went to reply to a company email and typed the letter "M" when a list of phrases i've used on here showed. Some type of spyware???? ...

Lately, I've been getting legal notices mailed to my home from I believe the east coast somewhere informing me of a class action lawsuit against M*Modal and inviting me to joint if I have a claim. I don't think I have a claim, but then again with all the shady practices in this business, I'm not so sure. I'm just curious what the heck is going on. Anyone care to give me the lowdown? ...

I was wondering if anyone has expereinced having applied to an advertisement for a transcription job with any particular MTSO, receiving an "invitation to test" at around midnight, and then attempting to take the test. What I found when attempting to take the "transcription test", was an hour and a half of written test, not a voice file transcription test, with very detailed questions. I spent an hour and a half taking this test and checking every answer on the internet, whether I th ...

I have about 25 years in MT, owning a MTS and filling other roles in the field as well. Frequently on this board I read the frustrated posts from those with 20 to 30 years of experience who have submitted resumes/applications but do not hear back from the hiring company. A couple of times I have suggested that OVERQUALIFICATION may explain the lack of call back. Both times I was personally verbally attacked on this board, with the notion called "ridiculous" and "absurd." ...

I am looking into MT programs and wondering about one which advertises that it is geared to nurses: MT@Home Medical Transcription. It costs significantly less than the three programs which I see referenced quite a bit -Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step, but it seems like these programs involve so much material that I already know. Years ago I did transcription for nurses, I've worked in hopitals/home and office environments as a nurse (also years ago) and I worked in pharmaceutical sales ...

I am a newbie MT and wanted some advice from those of you more experienced than I. Today, every single dictation I have had is from a foreign doctor..the latest one said (not kidding) toe bec abu in da pa...which I finally made out to be tobacco abuse in the past. My line count is horrible! How do you compensate for reports like this that take a long time, while maintaining a decent line count? Thanks. ...

I have been an IC for over 5 years and have decided to increase my rates from 12 cpl to 14 cpl. In doing that, one of my doctors is thinking about replacing me. I thought 14 cpl was a fair rate. What does everyone else think? ...

are going to end up quitting as soon as they possibly can, leaving behind a ton of newbies that will be super EASY to catch errors on (sorry newbies but you know it's true---it was true of myself when I was new). And the newbies won't complain about getting 7 cpl EVERY week. How's THAT for patient safety for ya? ...

I have been a transcriptionist for the past 10 years, working in cardiology, acute care and now radiology. I do radiology part-time from home right now and most shifts I do not even average minimum wage because of a shortage of work. The company I work for is small and works two typists per shift when there is only enough work for one. It is so frustrating! I have sent out about 20 resumes in the last couple of weeks and haven't heard a word from anyone. It used to be so easy to get a job b ...

not much out there. ...

I've been reading about various companies out there and wondering which ones are good and which ones to stay away from. Thanks! ...

I'm just trying to figure out what the hourly wage might be for an "experienced" MT if they were to start making $.08 per 65 cpl if they had a pretty good account and could type 75 words per minute.....and just an estimate would be appreciated...Thank you for your input. ...

I would like to open a dialogue with 2 or 3 individuals with a minimum of 15 years experience in the field of medical transcription. There is an alternative to explore in terms of taking back our profession and our livelihoods, and I need a couple of people knowledgeable in our field to brainstorm an idea with me. No naysayers, please. I want to talk to people who have not already given up on MT and are willing to think outside the box with me to seriously consider the feasibil ...
