Just Google medical transcription India. Entire us MTSOs are outsourcing to India. Wonder if the clients know or care.
Depends on which PART of the client... - sm

The doctors, nurses, etc.: They don't know and they would care. (I've asked.)
CEOs, CFOs, HIM directors: They do know and they don't care. They're goal is the bottom dollar line. (I've witnessed this personally.)
I doubt many US clients know work is being sent - IAMT

offshore, but doubt the decision makers or the docs care. Money talks and *** walks.
I did do the Google search you recommended and found a site of a major MTSO hiring MTs globally and offering no penalty for sending reports to QA and a free canteen. WOW! Doubt many US MTSOs offer us this or any benefits similar!!!

When Will The Stats Show The Reality In Transcription? Nov 15, 2009In searching the web for a new job I keep running into federal and state stats that say the low end salary of a newbie transcriptionist is $14 and high end is $24. They must be talking American dollars because Indians make $0.78 an hour. They also say it is a growing field (so much so it's spilling into the sea and floating to India) and there is a high demand for experienced medical transcriptionists (!?)

Dictator Ranting About How His Stats Aren't Typed Nov 30, 2013I just had a dictator rant to me about how none of his stat reports are being typed in an urgent fashion. The thing is, he only dictates that they are stat reports, saying "this is a priority report" on his dictations, but never marks the reports themselves as stats so they end up being distributed as regular dictations. It looks like someone wasn't paying attention in training. He must think we all have telepathy and know what is dictated in a report before even getting them. ...

Once And For All - There Are No Jobs! Dec 20, 2009On almost every thread somebody mentions their finances are in dire straights.

Many of us have been applying, constantly, for months; with more entering the job search every day, the competition gets harder and hard ...

There will undoubtedly be fewer jobs for MTs but there will still be jobs for those who can transcribe those reports. It will a ...

Jobs Out There Not MT, Sm Jul 24, 2010I just ran into a local job already, MOWING GRASS. The lady's lawn mowing man just finished school and is quitting the mowing. She paid him $1400 last month to mow, run the weedeater, keep weeds out of the flowers, etc. ($25 an hour).
My husband does handyman work and is always being asked to mow or if he knows anyone. He hates it. I like it. I think I just might take this on. (Probably for less money, though. She thought that was too much, b ...

MT Jobs ! Mar 09, 2011So, I am about to finish a medical transcription certificate program through a community college. I have started going through these boards and I am starting to get nervous about job possibilities. Most postings are about how horrible the industry is and how impossible it is to get a job. I've been working on this for 2 years now and I'm starting to get nervous that it's been for, potentially, nothing. Any advice? ...
