cpl rate for QC Specialist - Trying to decide


Posted: Feb 24, 2010

Please don't ask me to read the board.  I have.  I just need a straight, honest answer and no bashing.  I need to know if a cpl line rate is fair for QA.  You have to send feedback, have some MTs on full edit, etc.  I just don't see making any money, but I would like to hear from others who may be doing the same thing.  Thanks a bunch!!

No, it's not. It doesn't make sense - sm

to want quality assurance but pay on production. The companies that do this show how little they know about MT.

Thanks - Trying to decide

I didn't think so. Thanks so much for your kind response. :-)

QC people should NEVER be paid on a production - basis in the first place.

Think about it. Which 100-line report causes more work for QC - the report with 6 errors or the report with no errors? Or, putting it another way, since errors require you to spend more time on a report, are you being compensated more for reports that take more time, or are you being compensated at a lower hourly pay rate for reports that have problems than for reports that have none??!!

It makes no sense, and it certainly does not incentivize the QA person to "spot" errors when she knows it will kill her line rate, and hence her pay.

QA by the hour or just move on, I would, have seen - .

some job ad down to 2 cents a line for QA. I have also seen fairly recently, hourly offered. So just keep looking for by the hour.

Please beware of this company.  They are literally preying on medical transcriptionists who are having a difficult time finding and keeping a good job (which I think is happening more and more to people who have been doing this for a long time).  Anyway, I received an e-mail from them after 9:00 p.m. this evening, a phone call from them (which I didn't answer) and then an e-mail following the phone call.  So we have blocked them.  They want a fee from MTs, and they will ...

Ahima certainly gives it a different spin than MT, and an article at Study.com lists desired or common requirements as associate's or bachelor's degree, with nursing, HIM, or health information technology, and medical coding expertise.  So where does Nuance get off expecting "lowly" MTs to do this stuff, with 100% flawless accuracy, on lowly MT pay having to Google everything? I mean, they do not even pay us enough to be "lowly" MTs, and yet expect us to Google and verify that do ...

VR Pay Rate

I recently read a job posting that required 150 lph for straight type and 225 for VR - Does this make sense ?  These companies are using the excuse that we should be able to produce "twice as many lines" with VR - thus - HALF the pay.  If that is truly the case, then why in the world would the line requirement not reflect that as well.  Obviously, these companies know VR is not nearly as productive for the MT as they claim; however, I would venture to guess with the MT making hal ...


Going Rate For IC?

After nearly a decade of working with Webmedx, I like many others am looking for extra work to supplement what I will be losing with Nuance.  I have a chance to pick up some part-time IC work, but I have no idea what a good acute care IC rate is.  Ten years ago, I charged $0.12/line.  Is this still an okay rate?  More?  Less?  I don't want to ask for too much and have them laugh at me, but I also don't want to sell myself short. Thanks for any advice! ...
