Curious for those paid by the "Minute of dictation"...

Have 4 years experience. Mostly acute care/basic 4. Got a job offer for Radiology using Meditech platform and pay offered is $1 per dictated minute. This is an IC job. Haven't done radiology exclusively before and haven't been paid per dictated minute either. Thoughts? Thanks! ...

Hope everyone is having a great day...I have an interview for a position that pays by the minute of dictation...I have never been paid this way or no anyone who has so am at a total loss as to the average, what it calculates to per line, hour, etc. Anyone who knows anything about this and can share would be so very much appreciated. I have not interviewed yet so don't know the rate but just want some info so I don't go in completely in the dark. Thank you! ...

Just found this very interesting article about how MTSOs should consider charging by the minute instead of by the line. I imagine that would be a good idea for transcriptionists, because we would then be paid for the time we actually do transcribe versus by the line we may or may not transcribe. I remember wayyyy back in the golden days being paid by the minute (of dictation, and that was far more profitable for us as transcriptionists. Brace yourself, as this article refers to us as "transc ...

Don't you hate when that happens. I was all stoked up to get some lines for once and what would you know. I should have known it was too good to be true. ...

I had a long, long report that was filled up mostly with another doctor's dictation, who was sitting nearby going a mile a minute dictating on his patient while my dictating doctor sat quietly thinking. At least, I guess that's what he was doing, hard to tell, he was so quiet while page after page filled up with the report from another patient. When my doctor resumed speaking, it was hard to find where his dictation began again. The actual report turned out ...

Before I waste even more time sending a useless ticket to support...I would assume (and yes, I know what they say about assume :)) that someone has already sent a ticket for this, just wondering what kind of explanation, if any, did you get and are they considering fixing it? It is getting so old doing the ctl+H to find the missing dictation, then backspacing to get rid of the period and putting it where it truly belongs..then doing ctl+H on correct verbage, then changing upper ...

per audio minute (as an employee) and ending up making considerably less than my per line rate, so I requested off that account and back onto a per-line account. I can't believe these MTSOs now. I've seen others, 40 cents, 60 cents... as ICs no less. Unbelievable. ...

I'm just curious, I've been in this business for a long time now and haven't seen a raise in QUITE some time, but I sure as he!! saw higher paychecks than I see here. So, I'm curious. What's the highest rate you've been paid to be an MT? What were your daily requirements too, if you can remember? I'll start, my highest was $2.05 per digital minute and we were only required to do 65 digital minutes per 8-hour shift. ...

I question things now that I never before questioned in my life! Thanks for any help. ...

only got 37 lines from it. This nutter dictating kept putting me on hold (with the worst music) every section of the report so he could look it up in the patient's chart! I hate it when they do that stuff! There would be no way I would go to this guy as a patient. Anyone who is that unorganized is not going to operate on me! Breathing deeply now, rant over. ...

Has anyone heard of pay at 0.16 per audio minute for medical transcription? They told me I could make at least $10 an hour or more at this rate. This seems impossible to me... What do you think? ...

I have been an MT for 12-years now. I used to get paid hourly, now they are suggesting 12.5-cents per line. Is this too low? Is 12.5 cents per line fair, anyone know? ...

Lately, when I get NJA it is just long enough to slow my production down, but not long enough to report it. It only lasts about 10 minutes most times. Does everyone else wait the 15 minutes before reporting as we are supposed to, or do you report it right away? ...

Seriously, I was 11 seconds (according to my punch clock) past the scheduled start of maintenance on submitting a really long job and it didn't go through. I think they should wait 5 minutes for the last minute submissions or at least hang onto the job and have it submitted after maintenance. ...
