VR rates and work availability

I am planning on enrolling in Andrews School to begin a new career in medical coding and also plan to become certified following that. While looking at job opportunities, I see that most ALL job openings require 2-5 years experience in this profession. On the other hand, I also read where this field of work is in demand of more coders. Obviously, after finishing my course and becoming certified, I don't expect to walk right in and nail down the first job or two that I ...

Any current info on this company as of 2011, as in work availability, pay, etc.. I can't find them listed on the BBB's website and that concerns me. Is there another way to check on a company to see if they're legit? ...

How do you check job availability? Thank you so much! ...

I am in California but as I understood the law, if they REQUIRE you to return to work and they still cannot provide work, they are REQUIRED to pay you work availability again. Isn't that true? Also I have only seen any of this in emails. Why hasn't the policy officially been changed yet. Working on researching a complaint with the labor board. This is BS. ...

I'm so mixed up. What I read here about no jobs available and what we are being required to do is much different. Originally we were told to check for work every 30 minutes and could enter 30 min of work availability, but had to stay all shift. The following day after doing this we get an email that says that was wrong and we can only have 15 min work availability and the time cards would be corrected to take out that extra 15 min originally instructed to include.&n ...

Those of you with limited work, I mean really low line counts..What tier are you? Im a 3 and I rarely run out of work..Wondering if they are limiting based on experience? Not that that is right, the whole thing just makes no sense ...

Anyone else get this e-mail. WOW. Unbelievable. In part: . . . there are 2 options for when we have NJA/WA 1. Make up time the same day NJA occurs. If you can't get in all time throughout the day to contact TSM to make up additional time when slots are available. DO NOT work outside your hours on any other day without permission from TSM. 2. PTO. There is no excused absence to be used for time not able to get in. . . .& ...

All summer, my work has been slowly but steadily drying up. "NJA" pops up so often, my PC screen is now starting to show those letters in that spot, even when I'm not logged on. When your work gets slow, and you contact your company to inquire about it, don't you just WONDER how our workflow could possibly be tied-in with your local educational system? I know I sure do. May 2010: Reason for NJA? "School is almost over." Early June 2010 ...

Like say you wait 5 minutes, get a job, no job, wait 5 minutes, get a job, no job, etc., till you have accumulated 15 minutes, but then how do you show it on the clock? Or do you restart the clock each time a job comes in? ...

If I am sitting at my computer waiting for jobs to come in every 5-13 minutes, I should be paid. I should not have to be penalized by an adverse effect on my line count if I were to stay clocked in as production. Waiting for jobs while clocked out is still being on the job if you are signed into Fluency. So, the way I figure, you are still working, but off the clock. Plus, as proof that you are working off the clock, your Fluency log in time will be greater than your clocked in time. ...

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 !! ...
