How long should an MT with 10+ years experience expect to be on

I have worked for the same service for over 4 years. I am an IC MT. I feel I deserve an increase. I asked for one at the end of my first year and was told the economy was bad....blah, blah. Ok, I understood that but now I feel I have earned an increase. Yes, I realize that many feel an IC should just inform the service of their increase. I know that would not fly with this service. They could care less if you work for them or not. Theyhave a "we wi ...

I am trying to learn a new clinic account and find little to no work. I can't even come close to getting my minimum line requirement of 1,200 daily. How long does the holiday slump generally last? ...

Has anyone tested recently and heard back? Thanks! ...

Could you please tell me HOW you did it? Nevermind the decreasing pay or anything like that. I'm talking how did you do it PHYSICALLY? I'm 10 years in, love the nature of the work, etc. However, I feel beat up from head to toe after only 10 years and while I'd love to stick it out another 10 or 20, assuming it's still a viable option, I just don't know if I could do it. I'm healthy, pretty fit, but my entire lower legs are constantly ac ...

How is a person supposed to get a job when everyone wants 5 years experience? So I have to work another three years for the place that I am working before I can get a better job? By that time MT's will be totally obsolete. I feel like quiting. ...

only 1 year for Acute Care if apparently Acute care is more difficult? ???? ...

I worked for Viera Diagnostic in Viera, Florida for the past 3 years. I broke my leg recently and they said they didn't need me anymore, as I need physical therapy three times a week to insure mobility in the future. I have over 15 years experience and cannot find a job. Anyone have any ideas. I did one test for one company, they said I did not pass. I am wondering if I should throw in the towel. I love this work and feel that I am a very good transcriptionist. Any ideas are welcome. ...

that's what I averaged last week; a disgrace is what it is ...

I worked in transcription for 20+ years. My last job was for 16 years, acute care and lots of specialty experience, ESL, radiology. But, I have not worked for 3 years. I can't seem to get a bite. I want to be a full time employee. I have an explanation for my hiatus on my resume. Also, does it detract because I have a Bachelor's degree listed on my resume? THANKS GUYS ...

I have had less volume at work recently at the place I have been working for over the past 4 years. Im ready to move on but I want to find the right place for me. Ive done some hospital and acute care work in the past and didn't care for it. For the last 4 years Ive done clinic work, mostly ortho, and would like to find a place that will put me on clinic accounts only. I need steady work and at least .08 a line. Does anyone have any suggestions of companies the ...

I must be getting too old for this and losing grey cells. Totally ashamed. I thought the testing was difficult, but.... Either retirement or change of career may be in store for me. ...

Has anyone said that was not enough and have them counter offer with more? I don't plan on working for SS (I saw way too many complaints on the other board about them), but what about future offers which I suspect will not be any higher? I saw on the resume board what I consider way too many willing to work for 7 cpl with plenty of experience. Is it likely they will pay more when others are willing to work for so much less? And many of these 7 cpl were IC. Al ...

I find it frustrating that some MTs are completely unhappy with this company and yet you find threads of MTs who are happy. ?? How can it be both ways. I would like to hear from someone who is HAPPY with transcription doctors. Not smart off comments from people who are just feeding off the threads of others. Just because a hiring process is easy, does not mean it is a bad company. As far as the 6 weeks to get the first check...that is in the initial paperwork we received, so that&# ...

Hi all, I have been doing MT on a contingent basis for the last 6 years for my mom (who used to run her own I/C company). For the past 3 years I've been a CNA and this past August had to choose between knee surgery to continue being a CNA or to find another line of work, I have 2 little girls, so I chose the later. The problem I'm running into is it seems to be a requirement to have a degree or cert in MT/ME to find ANY thing in this field! Does anyone know of a company that doe ...

Anyone ever failed the Medquist Test. Do they let you see results? I thought I did great, however, evidently not? I have 15 years experience. ...

I have been testing all week. Some companies will not even discuss pay until you take their tests. Then, I waste my time taking these tests only to be offered 7 and 8 cpl. It is absolutely offensive to me to offer me that low pay. You want all of my years of experience, but only want to pay "newbie" rates. I am completely and wholeheartedly giving up on this profession. ...

I moved to the country and now I have to use Satellite internet. Are there any companies that will hire you with satellite internet? ...

Is there anyone here who can tell me for certain why so many companies want MTs to have 3-5 years experience for psych transcribing? I've transcribed many psych reports and they are not that difficult. Is there more involved when it is strictly psych doctors? Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me. ...

Any long-time MTs (over 30 years) having chronic neck/back pain, hand pain, wrist pain, migraines, etc., ever had luck at filing a workers comp claim? ...

I graduated from a local Technical College with a Certificate in Medical Transcription. I had spent a year searching for a company that would hire someone new, but had no luck. Then, out of the blue a local company had seen my resume and offered me a job. I got the job, but the thing was I was almost 7 months pregnant with my second child! I had only worked a couple months until our baby was born and after consideration, decided not to come back so I could be with our baby full-time. Well, it ha ...

Okay, I know InScribe LLC (Kentucky) has been on the Boards multiple times (at least monthly, if not weekly, it seems), but I just noticed they have a “Premium” ad at the top of the Job Seeker’s Board. I guess these “Featured Listings” are not free, as the other listings are. If I remember correctly, most of the posts on the Boards have been by Newbies, because InScribe evidently is one of the few MTSOs that hire new graduates. However, it appear ...

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 ...

Hi, I applied for a job at MModal. I am only looking for part-time work to help supplement some of my income. I also work for another company subcontracting. Can anyone tell me what to expect as far as how they contact you, how long, etc.? Thanks in advance. ...

It is not realistic and not likely to happen. MModal, you need to get real. ...

very long reports coming in about 10 minutes before we are about to finish for the day, which will force us to either do, causing us to stay over, or opt out of, which will leave time which we then will have to make up at their approval. There's always torture involved with just doing our job. It's like industrial terrorism. ...

After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...

I am going for an interview for an editing position with a transcription company who outsources overseas. Can anyone tell me what to expect for pay? - Thanks, SL ...

These MTSOs just expect way too much out of someone just APPLYING for a job these days that it has caused me to not even apply anymore. I need work, but I suppose I don't need it enough to be willing to jump through all of the hoops that they require. The MT testing site has been aggravating enough, to take so much time on a test, not even knowing if you will get a call back, even if you DO pass. Lately, like the past 3 jobs I have looked into, their testing process was IN ...
