Is 8 cpl reasonable for IC radiology work?

I have a new job doing VRE. This is new to me and I am glad to have the chance to learn it since there are few straight typing jobs out there. However, I am shocked at how the reports look when they come to me. To say that I am doing heavy-duty editing would be an understatement! How much time is reasonable to spend on these reports? I am finding that it is taking me a great deal of time to correct them. It might be easier to just transcribe them myself in most case ...

Hi all, I was wondering if there were any companies out there that have reasonable insurance? I am to start a new company in November, but the insurance is outrageous!

If you were told by an employer on a given day you could work a split shift, what would you consider a reasonable amount of time in that split frame? 1 hour, 4 hours?

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 have been working for an MTSO and my main account is everything from cardiac catheterizations to discharge summaries to OP notes to consults to psychiatric notes. It is a wide range of specialties. I am not making any money. I'm all over the board every day and I am frustrated. Do you think it is a reasonable request to ask for just one or two work types? TIA ...

I'm a poor, struggling medical transcriptionist, as most of us are. I'm six years away from receiving Medicare benefits and have been struggling to pay medical insurance the last few years. I just found out my premiums are going up from $256 to $308 monthly starting Jan. 2013. This insurance is not great, does not even pay for x-rays. Does anyone have an insurance plan that is a bit more reasonable? I am not young, but do not have any pre-existing conditions and really don't u ...

Hi: I have worked for the same hospital for 12.5 years, so there is a lot of loyalty there. I live in a southern state in the USA. I get paid an hourly pay plus $0.47 incentive for anything over 90 minutes. My hourly pay to me is low, but not below $10.00 an hour. Is 20.00 per hour appropriate or am I wrong? Thanks in advance for the advice. PS: I am not here for a debate just want to know what is a good hourly pay for 12.5 years. Thanks, Mel ...

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour.

Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...
