Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Anywhere from 1500 to 1700

Posted By: TT'er on 2007-08-21
In Reply to: I don't push like I did years ago - I usually get about 1300-1400 (sm) - Old TT

Lines are easy to get at TT and I get more than that if I am more focused with no distractions. 1500 to 1700 with interruptions etc.

I get no benefits where I work and I do 1500-1700 rad reports a pay period. sm
This is the norm, not the exception. If a rad Transcriptionist cannot do 20-25 reports an hour, they need to look at a different field.
Level 3 MTs at my old co. used to have to do 1700 (sm)
But that was only the level 3/CMT equivalent employees. Level 2's had to do 1400 and level 1's 1200. Pay scale was per level, so if you were paid more you had to produce more.

I wasn't crazy about it.
I usually do between 1700-1900 in an 8 hour day without killing myself.
The lines are fairly easy to get at TT.
That is the $1500 one. sm
I am talking about the Holiday bonus they are advertising on the Careers page.
Avg around $1500/mo.

1500 lines a day!!!!

I do respect your opinion, but my opinion, as well as many others who worked for Spheris is, getting 1500 lines in an 8 hour day was impossible.  You see, we weren't given nice pie accounts, where you could build templates and consistently use them.  We were given the crap accounts, poor dictators, the good accounts go to India.  I am sorry but 1500 lines in 8 hours was not possible for the majority of us.  If it were possible, I can guarantee you it would have been done.  Obviously we all want to make a decent living.  I do agree that we have a larger problem on a larger scale, and yes shopping where they make things in China, etc., is being a culprit.  I can say that people who have lost their jobs to China, or anywhere else in the world, need to step up to the plate as well.  I as an MT can only try to protect my profession and everyone else needs to do their part.  Afterall, everyone is forced to use the healthcare provided to them in their area even though they outsource, just as I am forced to shop at a store that outsources labor, for lack of a better resource to shop at.  But if everyone would do their part in each if their fields, maybe things would be better.    As far as paying editors and not being able to afford to pay better wages, I think that companies should pay a lower wage until one gets off editing.  Once they get off editing, they should be paid more.  If someone never gets off editing, that is another situation that needs to be addressed.  I understand that a company cannot pay two people to do ones work and afford to pay a higher wage.  But these companies such as Spheris that hire everyone at a low wage and then pay others the same that come in that are on editing and are not meeting production, this is what is not fair.  It is not right to keep all employees at the same pay.  Maybe MT -A has been their for 5 years, she/he is good, has a 99-100% accuracy rate consistently, then there is MT-B who has been there for 2 years, 97-98% accuracy somewhat consistent, needs editing more often, but she gets paid the same as MT-A because they both happen to clinic notes.  How is that right???   This is what goes on in these national companies.  Each employee should be assessed on their individual performance.  But this is not how it is done.   That is not right and is degrading to the MTs who do very well..These are the problems.  Companies like Spheris get away with this!!  All they care about is cheap labor!! When an MT gets to be better, they let them quit without a fight as they would never pay the higher wage they are worth and never will.  This is a confirmed fact!! 


$1500 week. nm

1500 no problem
Well now! That is a whole new bunch of apples. Is it the work, the platform, or the dictators? Their recruiter said it would not be hard to get 1500. These days with the way companies use less than good platforms and the strange way they count lines, it is rare to see 1500 easily. Long ago, I could boast over 2000 easily. The last few years since the India factor, services are just tightening up. Wow would it be a relief for me to enjoy my job again. Yes I am waiting for my ID too. Well, I am going to take a crack at it, may as well overlap the jobs and see how it goes. Can't hurt the old pocketbook. Thanks for your optimistic post. If all goes well I will be working with you soon.
$165 or 1500 lines

Do you think that 1500 to 2000 a week is possible?
This is a serious question, because I have been there a while and still not up to that. Maybe 1450 but not the big numbers. Wondering if it takes a while or if it is the platform.
He/she gets 1500 lines a day, in spite of posting
Uh, yep.
On the new plan, if I type at 1500 lines a day at
nm
if you type 1500 lines plus per shift
with what seems to be the most popular company to work for.  I'm job looking. I do believe I may have to apply!  What's the difference between Meditech magic and Meditech XL?
I did not achieve it within a week but they worked with me and I am at 1500 or more now. sm
I think that statement is to enforce that they expect full-time volume.
According to Allstate, they have a new account and have over 1500 jobs in backlog, is this not true?
What's the real scoop?
Not by the line but 1400-1500 radiology reports. 2-1/2 years. nm

10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
