well.....I took the total lines I did last week.... - mt_not_for_long
Posted: Jun 04, 2012
of course, most of the lines are VR but, I totaled my lines and the amount of $$ I made. Then I took the amount of straight typing lines I used to do and x by 8 cpl.
I have more lines doing both straight and VR, BUT less pay.
I averaged 1200/1300 lines per day working usually 6 hours (no set time schedule, just a mandatory "full-time" amount at old job). Last week, I missed 3 hours of work but did 7068 of a mix of ST and VR. Made almost 200 bucks less money.
So.......I worked longer hours, did more work but for less pay. And they want to know why we bitch?
And I've also found that... - (see message)
[ In Reply To ..]....ironically, the better-quality job you do, the less money you make. If you spend time verifying terms, correct manufacturer's spellings, proper spelling of an out-of-town doctor's name, etc., etc., your production drops correspondingly, and so does your pay.
In what other industry do you earn less if you do a better job!!!??? Awful.
well.....I have stopped a lot of researching. SM - mt2
[ In Reply To ..]I can't afford to spend 10 minutes or more looking for out-of-town doctor names, correct manufacturer spellings, etc. I do research all medical words and I do research Dr. names in the account I am working on. I cannot live on $8-9/hour.
You know that old saying - you get what you pay for - that's what these MTSOs are getting from me - $8-9/hour work value.
stopped researching... - recentlyoutsourced
[ In Reply To ..]AMEN SM......AMEN!
Yet you misplace one comma, and QA is all - over you about it. Its INSANE.

TransTech Lines - How Many Lines Do You Average During The Day/week?
Jan 19, 2011
Just wondering if the TT MTs would like share ... how many lines do you average during the day/week? I'm doing about 9,000 to 10,000 a week and wonder if I should be pushing myself more. How much of your count is VR? I do probably 15% traditional and 85% VR but that, of course, varies week to week. ...

How Many Lines Will You Type In A Week On Average?
Sep 15, 2010
How many lines will you type in a week on average? I am typing anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 lines a week. I spend my entire life typing, cooking and sleeping. I very rarely have to time to go anywhere or do anything. I was just wondering if everyone else who types at home has to type so much. I work seven days a week and never get a day off. I am just getting so tired and I think I need a break but if I do not do it, it just piles up and no one else helps out, so what's a girl ...

Is It True That FOCUS, Only Counts Half Of Your Lines When Calculating VR Lines?
Jan 30, 2012
if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000. I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...
Told Nuance Was Overcharging For Lines, Now Lines Drastically Reduced
May 02, 2012
My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client. Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...
TransTech Lines - Required Hours But Are Short Lines?
Jun 10, 2011
What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

Total Hip Arthroplasty

A couple of things I just cant understand, this DR sounds like he is drunk this morning! "status post left s/l amelano total hip arthroplasty for AVN with collapse" "internal and external range of motion over the s/l sick or sit joint is quite benign" Patient received an injection into the SI joint, so I am wondering if he is saying SIC joint. Is the sacroiliac joint abbreviated in this way sometimes? Cannot reference that. Dr is getting ESR, CRP and sed rate to make sure there is ...

TransTech Lines - How Many Lines Do You Average Per Day
Jul 13, 2011
How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get? I'm trying to figure out where the average numbers are. For me, I do about 350 trad and about 1400 VR in 8 hours. Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download. I'v ...

Total System Hours?

I am wondering how they calculate these as I know it is not the time that you are clocked into Enterprise. I am guessing that they are somehow able to determine when you are actively working in Enterprise--typing, listening to audio, etc.? The thing that c ...

Could use some help here. The blank clearly sounds like "mail" or "male" but a previous report done by the same doc, same context, an MT has put the word "Mayo."
