Rates for Editing reports

I am looking at ads here and keep seeing things like 3 cpl for editing. Who could work for that rate and why? These MTSOs really need an awakening. No one should work for 3 cpl. Is there anyone who does editing for that kind of rate and actually earns a living? I say more MTs need to stand up for themselves and say no to this. Just sayin'. ...

So, here it goes -- We all know the medical transcription industry has really gone downhill with regard to our pay. I currently just lost about $10/hour to change to editing and I have been doing it for several months hoping that it would get better, but it has not. This is just crazy to me. You still need the same amount of knowledge to create an accurate medical report. I do not know about everyone else, but the reports I am seeing coming ...

It seems to me since the red box has been taken away that the speech recognition engine has gotten worse...meaning that while I am editing, some words are just totally left blank on the screen. Then there are some words and phrases that are not even close to what the speaker is saying. I know speech rec was not that good anyway but it just seems to me that it has gotten worse in the past several weeks. Anyone else notice this? ...

I edit the report and then re-read to proof it. I don't find it redundant because I do find errors that I've missed. I just wonder if I'm an exceptionally slow editor. I was a fast transcriptionist, but this is a completely different job. I use Shorthand as an expander, but my speed just doesn't increase much. I find I spend a tremendous amount of time on the demographics more than else (searching for the correct patient, etc.). If the patient i ...

Does anyone know where to get a list of Shorthand macros that work with editing SR? I used to have some, would really appreciate any help getting some together again. TIA! ...

Providers editing their own reports, yea. Go back through and look at your old reports and see if the blanks are filled in. About 85% are not filled in. Many providers are salaried employees of the institution. When they stop seeing 1-2 patients per day to edit and/or type their reports, it will take awhile 2-3 years I suspect at the least, for the bean counters to figure out why their salaried employees are seeing fewer patients, generating less income. Then somebody will come up with the no ...

We need mandatory overtime for this? ...

Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of formula for pricing out the finall editing of a DragonSpeak report? I am assuming that it would be much less than if it were priced for typing the entire file. thanks, bill ...

Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)? I definitely prefer very long reports! ...

Am i the only one that just hates the long ones? And by long I mean anything over like 4 minutes. I love progress and ER notes! ...

Does Medquist still have 2 pay rates--one for straight transcription and one for speech recognition? ...

From VR to a new technology called VRWTCY which stands for very real way to to cheat you ...

What pittance rates DOES MQ pay these days for VR and for straight typing? (Again, as I mentioned elsewhere on the board, I ask because my department is beginning union pay negotiations as we move to using DocQSpeech for most of our work, so I expect management will be trying to use MQ's pay rates as their point of reference.) Thanks! ...

I have been working as an MT for a little over 2 years now and was wondering what the going rates for transcription and editing reports are? I am currenly an IC doing only transcription at a rate of $0.065 per line. The line is definced as 65-black character line and it does not include spaces. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Who can make a living on VR rates??? I've come to the conclusion, like so many others, it's time to move on. Been an MT for 9 years. Went from making $24 an hour gross to making less than minimum wage with VR! So sad. ...

Hello all...after 17 years, I'm sick of playing by others rules and want to venture into the world of IC. Could those of you doing IC work give me an idea of what to be asking per line? Any insight into any aspect of IC would also be helpful. Thanks! ...

My transcription business has decreased due to EMR. Now I've been offered a job to proof the EMR. What should I expect in compensation? By patient? By hour? Plan to continue to work from home. Thanks! ...

To any IC setting their own rates, what are the going rates for transcription these days? I had my own small business 20+ years ago and charged $1.25 per full page. Any info would be appreciated! ...

Do you think the MTSOs cut their rates to their clients who are now using VR just as they have cut their MTs rates? Seems that some MTSOs are scrambling for some reason to cut everyone's pay down (even their MT pay, not just ME pay). I wonder if they are in over their heads with this new venture into VR and losing their arses and realizing it isn't quite the godsend everyone is making it out to be. One can hope, and would serve them right! As far as MTSO rates are co ...

They're based in California: http:///www.chromolumeinc.comp/transcription/rates.html ...

I am an IC in northeast Ohio. Anyone know what the going rate is for QA editors in this part of the country? Does the price vary from state to state that much? I am in the midst of negotiating my MT contract with a client and want to document the cost of a QA Editor (which I provide myself for free, now). Thanks for your help! ...

I know rates of pay have plummeted in the past year or two. Most of the posts I can find for average rates of pay are from 2 yrs ago or older. Ballpark estimates for experienced transcriptionists please, both straight transcribing and VR: Hospital Acute care? Clinic notes? Radiology? (per line and per report rates) Gracias ...

I am wondering if anyone would share the going hourly rate (being paid by the hour, not by the line) for QA? How many lines an hour are required to get the rate? TIA ...

i am thinking of applying to Sten-Tel. Does anyone know what their current pay rate is for Tanscription/VR for experienced MTs? Thanks, Mely ...

I've been charging 13 cents a line for a 55 character line since 1989. Have rates gone up? I've been hiding out in my cave for a number of years now just doing my own thing and have not kept track of market trends. Please let me know! Thanks. ...

I have worked from home for several years for a local hospital..they pay $1.00 per minute for regular dictation (op notes, H&P, etc) and .10 per line for clinic notes. I am wanting to ask for rate increase...how much should I ask for? $ 1.25, 1.50, etc. ...

I'm interviewing for a new job next week, and have to travel 2 hours to the office for the interview and test. I hate to get there and then be offered chump change... she told me they pay per page. All pages are relatively brief, 25 lines max. Can anyone tell me what to expect them to say? i.e. what is the going rate when being paid by the page? thank you very much !! ...

I've been working for Medquist/M-Modal now for 11 years Full-time. I was one of those grandfathered in that took a pay cut last year as Medquist deemed they would not pay above .10 cents a line. Now the kicker to all this is I have a friend who I just got hired, and her initial OFFER was to START at .10 cents a line. I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I am appalled at this ... how someone can start at the top wage. I have already sent an email ex ...

I need some help I think my mind is fried...Does anyone know how to compare pay per minute of dictation to a per line rate? Example - 0.0972 per line versus 1.056 per dictated minute Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you very muc and please excuse my ignorance, but I am getting frustrated trying to compare the two. ...
