What is the going per report rate for radiology? I've been offered a job - Txs!

Posted: Feb 16, 2012

that pays per report and I'm trying to get an idea if what they are offering is fair. I live in the rural midwest.

Depends on if you will be working a teaching hospital with verbose residents, clinic for MRI's and PET/CT scans, etc. When I left Transcend three years ago, they were at $0.95/report... Not good unless you have a lot of canned reports that you get full report pay for, and how many normal templates you can make on your own once you get the same doctors down pat. Be sure that they will pay you for CT abdomen AND CT pelvis as TWO reports not just one - some places don't do that anymore. Platform you will be working on will have a lot to contribute to productivity too. I have heard some places pay as high as over $2.00 per report, but still haven't found them myself. I have worked both ways, and did make good money per report after I had the docs down, but now am back to cpl. Either way, there are a lot of variables to consider also. Hope this helps.

I would say that anywhere from $1.00 to $1.50 would be reasonable and the norm.

I was making $2/report with a small - alana

service thru 2010 and then a large MTSO took over. I stayed on as an IC for $1.70. Another MTSO took over,offered employee status at something like $1.05, but I declined. I'm still working with them as an IC for $1.70 per report. Their employees are spread out across the US. I'm in the northeast.

anywhere from $1.25 to $2.00 - anonyn

I would say is fair. Usually $2.00 would be for accounts with longer reports and most companies do not split the longer reports anymore like CT of abdomen and pelvis. They average all reports and say there are more short reports than longer ones.

Good luck. Love radiology transcription as it is so repetitive.

I have been offered a position for 0.08 VBC line/65 characters. I can obviously figure this is going to be less than with spaces. Is there anyone here who DOES get paid this way and if so, how much of a difference overall is it? I have not accepted the position and am not sure how offended I should be, or if I should be offended at all since "this is the new industry standard." I have been in this buisness a long time and have apparently never dealt with this "new" way of ...

I realize it varies depending on where you live - but not by that much, I think. I applied at a local hospital in June and this morning got an email message that there was opening in the Rad Department for MT. I went ahead and sent my electronic application. No guarantee I'll even called for interview much less get the job, but I'm curious if the hospitals tend to pay by the hour or by page, etc. The benefits are incredible and that is the rea ...

I have typed radiology and have been paid by the line. I was offered a job for $1.50 per report for any report under 5 minutes. Any report over 5 minutes would be $3.00. I would like feedback on this if anyone has any opinions on whether this is a decent rate. Thank you. ...

Hello all. I am a very experienced acute care MT, 13 yrs in the business, all specialties, ESLs, all work types, etc. I have been wanting to get out of the MTSOs for quite some time. I was recently offered an in-office job at a radiology center for part front-office work and part radiology transcription. I was very clear to them that I had no specific training in either, but they actually hired me. I am tickled pink. I think my acute care experience helped in terms ...

Why dont they just start asking us to work for free! At that rate I dont even think you make minimum wage! This is obviously not even because of outsourcing. I think what has happened is that a lot of work has gone overseas, but the remaining work that the transcription companies are getting is still paying a half-ways decent rate but they have taken a small cut to keep them. Then they turn around and pay NOTHING to get it transcribed so the people running the companies a ...

In past months I have read on this board, with dismay, so many posts about long-time MQ MTs/MEs failing consecutive audits, and eventually being discharged. I think it is a major coincidence that so many employees are suddenly and consistently failing to meet the same quality standards they always met. I think it’s a flimsy contrivance to get rid of the more highly paid employees and replace them with cheaper newbies while avoiding an age discrimination actions because those higher-paid pe ...
