MQ pays the highest, but that's because

In Reply to: Which companies pay the highest for VR work? nm - need to learn VR
they give you so many different accounts to learn all the instructions for. Some have as many as 20 to 30 new accounts per day. It's not worth it. Are you sure you really need to learn VR? I'd stick to straight transcription. It pays way better.

Webmedx pays very well for VR - probably the highest or close to it. nm

Believe the highest
I've seen for IC is 10 cpl, 11 cpl w/benefits has been gone since the 1980s.
The highest ever on VR I got was
probably around 3700+ for the day. I also have straight to go along with that. Usually on straight only I would do 2000+ a day. I had great dictators the day I got that almost 4000 lines. I have been told (?) by the higher ups we have people who can double. As far as the quality, we are not allowed to let quality slip as we have to keep 97-98% accuracy and we are checked every 3 months. The only problem I have with editing is now I edit the world and scan and immediately see any misspelled words.
I don't think there is a highest paying sm
speciality any more. Radiology used to be pretty decent. Wages have gone down across the board.
Which companies pay the highest for VR work? nm
Highest I've hear was MQ but I
VR doesn't pay anywhere near what it should for the work that needs to be done with it.
Considering I am one of the highest line producers in the company sm
I doubt I will change jobs. There are no other offices, just different account managers, and mine is the best one, and the one with the most experiences. My accounts are extremely heavy ESL and I do really well with them, over 300 lph.
However, she asked about the platform and, unfortunately, it is awful. It is clunky, slow, and screws up constantly. That is what I was answering, the question regarding the platform. My opinion is hardly an isolated one among the company MTs. The ones who find it as workable as you say are very rare.
Why not email ask lowest to highest rate sm
say prior to testing and interview as it will save both sides time. Also, ask, if there is a deposit on their supplied computer. Spheres was $500 returned in SIX MONTHS another was $300. I will not even consider this crap of 7,8,9 etc even down to 4 and 5. Don't waste my time, I worked hard to learn and stay current. When these rates are turned down, they will come up 10/line minimum.
Transolutions do not pay for spaces.
I used to sing the highest praises of this company, but they are s/m
sadly becoming one of many in the business who, in the end, caree nothing about the MT. I have been out of work for days! (I have 4 accounts of 90% ESL and do all work types). I am interviewing for other jobs outside of the MT world as we speak. Can't afford to sit here without work for more than a day. It has been more like a week with no work that amounts to anything.
I was told the other day that they had to hold work for one of our hospitals because that hospital has in-house union workers who needed the work!!!
Always email first, ask lowest to highest rate offered.
I bet they offer prob. 7 cents if that.
I recently emailed asking for lowest to highest line rate sm
it was toooo low 7.5
I routinely email lowest-to-highest rate offered sm
and did in April. Rate only 8 cents, to low for me.
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
Tier 4 is the highest tier at MQ, operative reports only. nm
.
High tier 4 now (out of 5--whatever) was highest MQ tier.
Can pretty much do it all. I detest pathology, too, and thick Russian accents. :)
I got a new job but it pays less. nm

QA pays much much less than MT
/
MQ pays its MTs less than
cleaning ladies make. Believe me, there are many other jobs out there that will give you better than the pittance (and bad treatment) MQ has to offer. You deserve better. Don't settle for MQ's nonsense.

MDI pays 9-11 cpl.

My VR pays at
4 cents a line. I really hate to see that places are going even lower than that. My platform is an excellent one and if not for that would never be able to make the $20+ per hour pay that I make. It is so unresonable for these places to just cut pay to the bone. How will anyone be able to make any kind of living if this keeps on? From what I have seen over the years, VR has never gotten to the point where it can be on its own and by reducing the scale of pay, pretty soon companies will see MTers dropping like flies instead of doing their work.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
That's TransHealth that pays that way. nm
xx
I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
keystrokes pays, are they......
On time? I do hope so ! Just because we work at home, some of these companies think, for some reason, that we will do the work (and it is a REAL job) for no pay. We ought to have the RIGHT to do that to them !
Employee pays ALL?
At my current company I only pay $75 per month - company pays rest. Sounds a bit odd, I must agree.
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
Transolutions pays 100.00 for every sm
year that you are employed. Otherwise, they don't pay squat.
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Does anyone know who pays QA hourly? sm
I need a QA job that will pay me hourly, so if you have any leads, send them my way. :)
MQ pays QA by the hour.

Is it true that RIU pays 5 cpl for MTs? How do they keep them? sm
I have heard that they act real nice but are back stabbers too.
I had a friend who was an MT with them and she stayed because they intimideated her into staying, told her that she would fail elsewhere. Do they treat all their employees as slaves?
Sad. P, my friend, said that they profess to be a good fine Christian company and then cheat, lie, and stab you behind your back?
Sad.

Anyone know what TransTech pays?
I saw their ad, but they don't having anything about starting cpl rate. I have been a MT for 10+ years and don't want to waste my time testing with this company if they don't pay well. Thanks!
Does anyone know what Keystrokes pays for RAD? (sm)
Is it still only $1.25 per page? Or is it by line. Need more up to date info. Please!
who pays per report??
Can anyone tell me what companies pay per report for radiology and which ones have Meditech? Thanks.
So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Does anyone know how Transcend pays out
Their $1000 sign-on bonus? Thanks so much!
Transcend pays still
one day, 4 hours with trainer = $60.00
It pays to take a "pay cut" sometimes
I made -good money- at my old MT job but in return for the -good money- I had to tolerate unqualified superiors whose arrogance and abuse would not be tolerated in most places. I stayed in the hot seat with those people for stupid reasons and none of it because of things I personally did wrong. I would not leave for a long time because I thought I could never make the same amount of money anywhere else and besides I was honestly too lazy to want to start over again. Finally though I had enough, my husband had enough, my kids had enough of my whining but never taking steps to get myself out of that situation.
I took what I thought would be a -pay cut- with another company but it turned out that my current facility is 10 times easier and the supervisors are actually qualified to supervise me. I could not be happier. I make more money even with a bit of a -pay cut- because I'm not constantly on mandatory phone calls for problems unrelated to me personally, plus spending time reading pointless emails. The line incentives help too. My account is so much easier, my supervisors leave me alone to do my work, and my family is happy at dinnertime.
Forget the cpl rate because alot of the time it is tied in to a bad company that is forced to pay so much because they can't keep good MT's. If you are in a similar situation to mine, stop whining, get off your lazy butt and find a company that pays you -maybe less- but will turn out to be more and that respects you and gives you good accounts.
QED pays weekly nm

Did someone say Spectramedi pays

Who pays the best for VR work?
Which companies pay the best for VR work? What schedules do they require you to work? Do they have benefits? I have 2 children to support so I need to have a dependable work also. Thanks in advance
MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.
Please, TT always pays on time...
it will be there; try some patience and don't count your chicks before they are hatched. Hopefully, you didn't spend money that wasn't there, which never fails to amaze me. Why do people do that?
How do you KNOW what the client pays?
Gottcha, because you are an MTSO !
Do you really think that clients pay 5-8 cpl? Go and fly a kite, toodle-loo, they pay at least 12-15 cpl.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
