hourly pay versus pay by line
Subject: hourly pay versus pay by line
I currently do transcription onsite for a hospital that pays by the hour. I really would like to work at home for more flexibility and I've noticed a lot of transcription openings pay by the line. I'm worried that won't make enough money being paid by the line. Is it better to be paid by the line versus by the hour? Is there anyone who made a transition from hourly to line pay?

Picc versus PIC, sm
Subject: Picc versus PIC, sm
Actually they are two different things, according to my sources. The PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is inserted to the vena cava, thus it is "central." The PIC (peripherally inserted catheter) is inserted locally, not to the vena cava. I actually had one of these, it was in my AC space. PICC is the term that is used unless they specify local. If anyone has any other info I would be interested to hear it. Thanks.

Title of procedure: A 24-hour pH probe study.
Then we pulled the probe 2 inches above the level between the acidic and non-acidic line and then we taped it and anchored it and the baby started the breast-feeding right away after the probe placement.
TPN - PIC line
Subject: TPN - PIC line
She currently is receiving TPN through a PIC line in the left basilic vein. This had been in place for about three years. Recently, it was changed from ___ due to fever and positive blood cultures. Since it was changed ___, no further fevers. She has been told that she could not get further PIC lines on the right arm.
This blank sounds like it has something about "wire" in it, may even be more than one word, "over to wire". Both blanks sound the same.

I have always worked for salary and now am doing contract work from home. How much should I expect to be able to charge per line for transcription services? I'm in the New York City area. What's an average charge per line the hospitals are paying transcription services to do their work? Any ideas?

of questioning. I am finding that I am spending a lot of time looking up medications to see if it is a generic or brand name. I am looking up almost every medication. Is there away to start adding to autocorrect, or an expander, where eventually all the looking up will cease.

Doc dictates:

Would you type it as follows? And would you leave in the "is" or take it out?
