So are you charging them since you are using your
your second phone line?  What about the wear and tear on your c-phone?  No wonder you did not have to pay for anything, you are offering up your very own equipment.  I guess they thought that was great and are being super nice.  They have someone who is willing to pay their overhead...  hello?  Good luck though, but it sounds like they found an MT ready to offer up her OWN equipment instead of buying/renting equipment from them.  I just do not think that employee status should require any purchases at all.  Period.  The End.  Have a great day!!!     When you work on-site as employee (think of this way), the hospital/facility does not say in the interview bring your own computer would ya'? or bring your own c-phone or bring your own paper, pens, and paperclips....    
They do it by charging the doc 15-20 cpl, that's how. nm
.
If they are only charging the client
8 CPL, as you state below, then that is sad.  They are undercutting and the MT is the one that loses out because they will not get paid as much.The services keep dropping their prices and are only able to do that by paying less out to the MT.
charging sales tax
Does anyone know if you have to charge sales tax in Ohio to the physician offices or if you need a vendor's license to do transcription in Ohio? Can't seem to get a straight answer from any Ohio department. 
What about charging a fee (employees)..sm
to rent their equipment, i.e, computer to do MT work as employee??  Doesn't seem fair, and I thought an employer  must provide work tools for the employee...not charge fees to rent PCs, foot pedals, etc. to do work.
That 9.9 cpl is what they are charging their clients
I clicked on that link.  It's completely an off-shore based company.  The 9.9 cents is what they are charging the health care providers.  That's only possible if they are paying 1 to 2 cpl for the workers.
Charging to use their software
Does anyone know why  a chartscript company would charge to use their software.  15.00 a month, not a huge amount but still why do they charge the MT? Have never had anyone do this before...
Charging for software
Yes I am an IC but this is the first time I have come across someone who charged to use their platform. I have my own foot pedal, computer..In order to get their work done you generally use the software /platform they use without a charge. I have worked in DocQscribe, Meditech, Emdat and others with no fee. Like you said, I guess just because they can or DO!
If they started charging you more so their US
would you still love them then? Or are you just in love with the rock-bottom price hospitals get to pay for MT, knowing full well what's happening most of the reports, and the MTs in America who used to type them?
How much you think these bigwigs are charging the hospitals?
And we get, what, 1/3 of this? 
I am in Kentucky,m never heard of charging

My MTSO who was charging 15 cpl lost acct to

The only accounts you lose in business by charging
No big loss there! It then frees up time and space in the schedule to land a better-paying account. Not only are we selling ourselves short, but the MTSO's are doing the same. They should concentrate less on what their competitors are doing pricewise, and more on producing the best product possible. The rest would take care of itself, and they'd ultimately be better off.
that's true. companies are STILL charging full rates using VR
nm
yeah and the MTSO still charging full price for the work
Most physicians/hospitals don't even know they're dictating into VR so still paying full-on transcription prices while the nationals/MTSOs cut the MT's salary in half. Nice huh?
