Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

If you have a good range of dictators...sm

Posted By: I have always been paid per minute on 2008-02-07
In Reply to: Pay is by the minute of dictation. - anon

I do radiology and acute care for a facility.  There are some doctors I am glad I get paid by minute and there are some that I wish I was not so it all equals out.  I read an article some time back about being paid by the minute of dictation is really the more fair way for Transcriptionist to be paid.  I have 3-4 docs that I speed up so I do their lines in half the time but still get paid for the whole time.  It works for me.

Good owners, average-low pay, good dictators sm

Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill.  Only work when you want.  It's a nice p.r.n. position.

Sorry, Meditech is out of my range there. Good luck!

Offshore can barely do good dictators, which is why

MDI, less work? good dictators disappearing?

Is is just me? or am I getting less and less work, more and more difficult dictators, seems the account is seriously over staffed, transcribing reports on the doctors tails, and the reports I do finally get are only the MOST difficult dictators it seems....


Is our work going to India after all?


Good dictators end up on ASR so it can only get worse. My accounts are all picked over.
:
Ummm...No, large account I'm on just has good dictators....
It's on EditScript, and I was system receiving alerts of higher priority jobs coming through and I accepted them. The dictators were by and large very good and many of the reports required minimal editing.

It's luck of the draw when it comes to being placed on an account. I am very grateful to have been hired for the account I'm on.

Sorry you apparently aren't as happy. I hope your day gets better.


Unlike the poster below, I did not find the ESLs good dictators at FN. sm
In fact, in my over 20 years of experience, they were the worst I have ever heard.  We got way more than 3 e-mails a day, too.  More like 10 to 15, beginning for help and sometimes bordering on threatening. If you are really good with ESLs, you MIGHT do okay. But who wants to put up with that?!?  No bennies either.  Glad I am long long gone.  The grass really is greener.
Of course it's good, but with the awful dictators and the trash dictation we get anymore, this ki

From what I remember not very long. They are flexible, pay is decent, good dictators,
I have never had any problem with them. 
QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com

JLG pay range?

I have a telephone interview on Monday with JLG.  I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the telephone interview consists of and maybe the pay range (I know an exact pay cannot be given since it's based on individual factors). 


Thanks!


i believe range is 9-11 cpl.

I don't know that they have a range. They
asked me how much I wanted, I said, and they said they could do that.  More than 8 cpl and there is a shift differential. 
Pay range, per line, MDI
Can anyone out there share this information?  What determines there line; 65 with or without spaces and the pay range for this.  Is there platform productive?  Thanks.
I have been looking at four companies that range from sm
$1.00 per report plus .50 for each link to 1.35 per report but links are not paid. The average seems to be $1.10 or so. It is still good money when you think about it. I type 15-20 reports an hour, so even at $1.10 I make more than the hourly at most hospitals and I don't have to leave my house.

No one makes $0.07. The range is sm
.08 to 0.105, usually starting around 0.085 or 0.09.
I made in the range of $50,000.00
I have some of my own accounts and do very low volume for an online company that I started the end of last year just to get some experience online.  I think if you have the experience and the dedication, you can easily make $50,000.00 per year doing transcription.  I wouldn't know about working for nationals though because I only tried one, and I did not like the platform.  It was not productive.  I can see where someone putting in 40 hours and working on a platform they like as an employee and receiving incentives could make $45,000.00.  I do not think that is unreachable, I just don't do nationals or acute care.  Maybe acute care pays more, I'm not sure????? 
I also make in the $30 range at KS
NM.
It should be though. A company can have a pay range, but
they can also pay someone more than the range.  If the pay range is usually 8 cpl and I get 10 I'm not going to discuss that with another MT because then they will ask for more money or say so and so makes 10 cpl they can't I have more than 8.   The only person I discuss my pay with is DH.  
Transtech QA Pay range
Can some very kind TT QA person (or anyone who knows) email me with the 'range' of pay for QA - third shift? Thanks so much.
Oracle pay, anybody know the range?
just curious what a good pay is with this company.
I had a QA person tell me she was in the 350 range
when she was typing and before she moved into QA.  I've only gone up to 300 on occasion and that's on an account with templates.  Straight typing I'm more in line with the OP in the 200 to 250 range.  I keep trying, though.  Like the rest of you, I find if I go too fast, then stupid mistakes come through.
QA Pay Range for Hourly?
Hi,
Looking for input on hourly range of pay for doing QA, say for a job where you are full time and get most if not all of a standard benefit package.
Thanks,

Can you give an approximate pay range? Thanks! nm

Editing rates of pay range from about 4 to 6 cpl.
Unless you go to work for a different company there shouldn't be much of a learning curve, but any different company that you go to work for is going to have a learning curve because that's just part of starting a new job. I don't think anyone should be compensated any more for training and it's a darn good motivator to get the ball rollin.
At least give me a range, 7-9 cpl okay, we will keep talking. 3-4 cpl no need to go further. I
:P
Depends on the account I think. The range is $1.05-$1.50. sm
I average 22 reports an hour.
Any idea what the rate range is for
nm
she asked about pay range, not about opinions
nm
I make much more than $17 an hour, more in the $30 range. sm
You sold yourself short. Did you pass their test?

Things that are good are sometimes worth waiting for. Why do you call it BS when you know nothing about the company other than you applied? Geesh. This must be Keystroke's week to be bashed. Who is next week?
Does anyone know the pay range for decent companies,

including VR.  Guess I have to bite the bullet and learn how to do it, but would lke to be paid a decent line rate.  I am experienced.


Thanks in advance.
