The people who can double their line count
on editing are the ones who have a low line count to begin with because they don't utilize shortcuts and self-made templates, etc. I too can do 2000+ lines a day and have tried editing and my line count went wayyyyy DOWN.
Can you check your line count (sm)
are you paid for headers/footers on your account?
I routinely check my line count against theirs
nm
Where do I send my line count and when do I get my check?
:+
When I check my line count, there is no problem at all. nm
nm
you can check line count anytime
no headers and footers are not paid, but line count is always available with number of reports by using the Sessions statistics within the program and I believe is correct.
check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????
I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com
ChartNet is a 70 or 75 character line count. Check into it. nm

In my Extext experience count was about 10% less than the Word count. nm

Are you aware of how they count your time?.. or don't count it i should say

WMX - line count. Was working along and noted line count accumulation (sm)
signed off the report I was typing. Those lines didn't add immediately, but sometimes they do that. What concerns me is that when I signed that job off and the next one came up, not only were the other lines not added in but they were LESS than they were before I signed off previous job.
I thought I noticed this happening the other day, but figured I just wasn't paying attention. Today I definitely noticed it. For some reason it changed it's mind and took 8 lines off my line count. What the heck?
Am not really ecstatic with the way things are going anyway and then this confuses me.
Please, someone have a realistic explanation so I don't feel paranoid and cheated here.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Then company should set line count per day with incentives for above that. If get line count done
:[
Always double check your
And then check it again.
You might double check this...
In the 3 states I have lived in, they did not charge to change your phone number if you were changing it due to harassment. And this certainly sounds like harassment!! I can't imagine being called that much by a company I don't work for, telemarketers are bad enough, but at least they have to stop at a certain time of night. Caller ID was the greatest invention ever, I don't answer unless I know who it is and that I want to talk to them. Good luck to you.
Somebody needs to double check
The laws that apply to someone who is an EMPLOYEE may not apply to someone who is a STATUTORY EMPLOYEE, which are two distinctly different classifications. I'll contact TPTB and see what I can find out.
FYI - If you go there, better double check your lines!!!!!! nm

Double check - are you sure they didn't say

If and when you find one, be sure do double check yourself that you are being paid for what they
:P
Double check your line counts.

I routinely double check line counts
I have audited my line counts often using Sylcount and the line counts are always pretty much right on compared to BayScribe. I have no reason to believe they fudge on line counts, but I would never take someone's word for it, so I always run audits periodically myself. It has never been a problem.
Maybe they want to make sure people double check their spelling.
If you are not sure of how they are spelled, you really should look them up.
They are well known brands and easy to look up.
Gosh..does this company start with an F. In any event, you need to double check with your insurance
provider to see the exact date the policy was cancelled. Sometimes, companies have to pay preminums ahead of time. I would just make sure and if they are still taking the money out, you need to send a certified letter telling them to return your money at the point you were paid up and the policy cancelled or reinstate the insurance. Why pay for something your not getting.
Red flag means that stop and check.

FYI, that's normal, it means doing business as, check out SBA site...SM

MP Count
Can anybody tell me where I can download MP Count? I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. I need to start billing the client and they want me to use MP Count. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
MP Count
Thanks! I just realized they are not giving out their free sample anymore. Do you have any idea how you charge 9 cents per line for a 65 character space line? Is it easy software? I just want to make sure before I purchase it. Thanks!
MP Count
Hi! Can anyone tell me if using MP Count is similar to the count in MS Word?
TIA!
MP count
I use MP count and I find it very accurate -- better than MS Word.
MP Count
Thanks so much for your replies! I have never used a line counting software and I wanted to be sure.
Count me 2
I also had experienced those problems with TT. I was told that because of my being able to do the bad dictators efficiently was the reason why I was getting so many of them. They say they don't cherry pick but instead they pool, route, and set up stats. I also know some others who never ever did progress notes and only only worked on OPs which is also in my opinion just another form of cherry picking. After the line count issues I moved on and now I see an ad for PT acute care at 10 cents a line, go figure.
Count me in!!!!! nm

And also on your list of MT companies who ONLY hire American MTs, add WebmedX. That is where I work and they are vehemently opposed to offshoring work. I am glad to see that we are finally taking action. You can e-mail me and we can keep in touch. I live in Texas and there are a lot of medical facilities here. I will find who I need to direct my information to, but by golly, I will do it! So far that's three states (and three BIG states!) Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas!
count me in
Excellent idea. Let me know if you are serious about this. Just email me.
Count me in too.
I want to participate. How about something like American Transcription or All American Transcription? Maybe even Transcribed in America. I am in Kansas. Please email me with details when you get a chance. Thanks!
Count me in
If you are looking for a Transcriptionist when you form your new company...count me in! I am just over the river in Jersey.
Count Me.....
...In!!! I have turned down 3 jobs in the past 2 weeks: (1) The first job actually wanted me to move to NY and work on site at a radiology office, contracted out through a transcription company....I live in TN! This company would not tell me what they were paying, and no moving expenses were being offered. (2) The second job wanted me to fly to NJ and spend 3 days training in their corporate office. They also would not tell me what the job paid....said it would depend upon testing and training. They reimburse travel expenses after 6 months....but, who knows if one would want to stay for that long....especially considering they will not disclose how much they are willing to pay. (3) The third job actually wanted me to work as an IC being PAID BY THE DICTATED MINUTE for RADIOLOGY....and, again, would not tell me what they were offering to pay!!! What a JOKE! I have never, EVER been tested at less than 98% and am always offered jobs, but am picky regarding benefits and line count. I have been stuck at 0.085 for the past 6 years (but with fairly good benefits) and have been told repeatedly that our company cannot afford to give raises. :( I am shopping for something better....and will only settle if I find a HIGHER PAYING JOB! Regarding all transcriptionists not settling for less than 0.085 per 65-character line.......I think this is a GREAT IDEA, but do not think the less experienced transcriptionists will adhere to this. There are too many people out there who have paid for fly-by-night MT schools and are willing to work cheap or free just to get the experience - trying to make the money they spent pay off one day. Best of luck in getting others to sign up for the idea. I am on board with you!!!
Count me in.

Count me in
Count me in..or should I say Count Me Out of MDI!
I am frantically looking for another job as I do not have the luxury of being unemployed and this took me completely by surprise as I believed in Dorothy...but believe me when I say I AM TAKING A STAND also and refuse to work for a company that offshores! My resignation letter will make my reasons clear!
Count me in! Enough is enough!
I'll do it!
LIne count
I have had the same accounts for up to 15 years. On my surgeons with even charging 12 cents a line I can often make $50 to $60 an hour with their consults. I think it is fair. They pay within 48 hours, never a bounced check, got $500 Christmas bonus. I can do them in my sleep. They never question my line counts. It is 60 characters to a line and gross lines, not character count. On a consult for breast cancer, that is 3 to 4 pages, probably type 50 lines as the physical is so standard. If I charged more I would feel like I was ripping them off. I make a decent living and so pass it onto them. I gross over 11,000 lines per month with them and work 5 to 6 hours per week. They like the smaller amount per line. My other is a clinic that I have a lot of auto corrects set up and still make $35 an hour and so why charge them an arm and leg when I am making decent money. My sub's make close to $25 an hour as they aren't quite as fast as I am and don't use as many quick corrects but at 8 to 9 cents they average 250 to 350 (psych reports) per hour. So we are all happy. Half way through the year I myself have made $26,500. And that is with a slow June.
line count
I have always understood that gross line pay is better than character counted. This could be false, however, depending on font used and size of font, as well as the format of the report. Sorry, don't know info specific to Meditech's system, but have read "To convert Gross Lines to Net Lines multiply Gross Lines by .70." This obviously reduces gross lines by 30% to a net line count, but it does not make sense that this formula would be accurate all the time considering all the variables involved (those mentioned above as well as the fact that character counted net lines are not a standard 65, and could be whatever number the client has agreed to pay on).
line count
How can you get an exact count by Word? Even the different Word programs vary.
My line count
Some say that if you are not a high producer, you may actually do well with VR? How true is that? Due to the summer, my line count is only in the 6 or 7000 range per pay period. However, in the beginning of Sept, the kids will go back to school and I will start working full time. Given that there is full time work available to me, could I stand to actually make more money doing VR?
MQ line count
I've been on DQS for way over a year. My line count has never improved and I am one the same account every day. Join the class action and hopefully we will get our money eventually.
OSi line count - sm
When I started there it was 198 lph...they have lowered it since I left. And why are they allowed to post jobs here? They outsource overseas!!! What happened to MTSTARS policy of not posting jobs from outsourcing companies?
Line Count
Sharon, I've been with TT for over a year and have never had a line count problem (and know it is correct because I know what I can transcribe per hour/day, and have been doing it consistently for years before coming to TT and since being with TT). Are you new at TT? If you are having a problem you should email Debbie about it, as she will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Line Count
This may not be much help but I've worked for 2 years for TT and never had a problem. Guess before TT I'd worked on just about every platform there is and been paid every way anyone could think of to pay; hourly, by the line, by the minute, per word, per 1000 words, by the page and maybe some others I've forgotten. Thus, I know what I produce forward and backward, don't need to check it, I KNOW when it's right and I'd KNOW if it was wrong. Once before TT I was complaining to my husband that I absolutely was NOT making ANY money despite the fact that I was working 8 hours a day and that certainly my lines were not being recorded accurately. Being the helpful person that he is, he suggested that I keep a log for a week of every minute I spent typing and every minute I was out of the chair and then take my log to administration. To my horror, at the end of the first day, I found I had spent EXACTLY 2.5 hours of the 8 hours I was signed on actually working. No wonder I wasn't making any money. (Not implying at all that this is the problem with your line count but it certainly was MY problem). Thereafter I parked my butt in the chair and it was amazing how my line count got accurate. 
Line Count
I currently work for an oncologist and I do not get paid by the line, but rather a straight salary every month. Can some one tell me about how much typing is involved if expected to type 1800 lines per day??
Thanks
Tammie
