The last company I worked for paid this way. It really is variable on the amount of ESL or any difficult to understand dictators, whether or not you have shortcuts or templates available, etc; however, when things go smoothly it seemed to average 20 minutes of typing for every hour of dictation. HTH.

I was paid that way at the hospital I worked out before I was forced to retire. I made pretty good. Depends on how much you get paid per minute though. Of course there was cherry picking and waiting for the long reports because they were worth more money.

That s/b the other way around, 1 hr of typing for every 20 minutes 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! ...
Hi All: I was looking at a job posting, but they pay as stated above. I have never worked for anyone that pays like this. Does anyone know what this would average out to be per line based on 65 space? It is not Radiology. ...

Can anyone shed any light on getting paid per the audio minute? I have only been paid per line and I can't even fathom how this would compare? Anyone have any experience this way? Please help ladies! Thanks!! ...
"I instructed the overnight ER resident to place a Foley; that was not placed and this morning the patient was incontinent of urine" He goes on to describe his disappointed in how neglectful this was, etc.... which it WAS, but humans make mistakes.....
So, do you think that resident got his pay cut by 1000 dollars for that (I'm making it relative).....I HIGHLY DOUBT IT!!!!
Shoot, this could be a really good way hospitals could save money!! By counting on the inevitable m ...

this sentence seems all wrong, yet I try to break it up and to me what I type looks wrong as well. ...
Unfortunately, MRI does show the possibility of discogenic source of pain, but also epidural fibrosis. The latter is worrisome given source of pain below her legs.
this does not look right at all to me. maybe " MRI does show the possibility of a discogenic source of pain and also epidural fibrosis" ? ...

Lordy, where do they get these people? Well, at least it gave me a badly needed chuckle. ...
I see this now at the top of some reports. Anyone have any idea what this means exactly? I remember reading about it in the DQS 6.1 update, but my screen looks nothing like that. I've just been transcribing as usual. ???? Am I missing something? ...
This seems crazy asking this while taking the final exam, but this layout seems spitefully incorrect.
A few chapters back, it stated "going forward with the course, transcribe the report layout exactly how the dr. dictates it". In this final exam, its an operative report and she has the pre-op and post-op diagnosis' at the end of the report! Should I put them at the beginning where they have been with all the other reports we were given?
So confused! ...
The dictator clearly dictated a word with an apostrophy following it. The word actually has an accent mark following the last letter, but he specifically dictated an apostrophy. I got it marked as an error.
I don't get it -- it was a verbatim account -- I did what he said - and now it's error.
Frustrated!!!! ...
First time actually turned out to be social history, second time started out sort of sound like medical history which was basically noncontributory, but then turned into the review of systems, and now the third time may actually be the charm.
Now I've just got a lot of heavy breathing while he figures out what's next. Thank goodness my night is over in another hour or so. ...

dictated: the wound care required every other week visits.
Would it be as typed above? Or stick some hyphens in there for every-other-week visits.
This is a narrative report and I have to do it verbatim, cannot reword it.
Thanks for any input. ...
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?
