Webmedx pays 70% of your line rate. I make more on VR s/m
with them them straight typing, a lot more.
Webmedx pays 70% of your regular line rate. nm

Normal line rate on holidays, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. nm

Webmedx also pays 70% of your current rate. nm

Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm

Transcend only pays 55% of line rate for editing...

I could have dealt with an 80% cut.  I think that is a very fair rate.  That is my whole point.  I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing.  I have a problem with the cut being too large.  I think 6 cpl would have been fair.  That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous.  If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair.  Transcend is just greedy!!


do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?

Thank you so much for your help!


Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
Does Webmedx radiology still pays everyone at 7.25 per line regardless of experience?
x
Same for Webmedx - 70% of your regular line rate. sm
That's better than some - I hear a few pay a flat rate of 2 or 3 cpl for editing!
You DO get a line rate increase for passing the CMT at Webmedx. sm
Ask your supervisor.
FYI, that's normal, it means doing business as, check out SBA site...SM

If you cannot do ESL at a normal rate sm

of speed, like 100-150 lph (with 100 being the most horrible, barely speaking English, beneath poor audio) then you absolutely do not have the skills to make it in this business.


I have said this a million times - you have to have an **ear** for this work.  What they give you in these schools is not what you will be faced with in real life.  If you choose to coddle yourself with jobs that contain clear speaking clinic notes, then you will find yourself out of a job in a couple of years because nobody wants you if you can't do job after job of ESL at a normal rate of speed.


Looking thru the job ads show 3-5 cpl for VR and a low-normal rate for straight typing. nm

WebMedx question: Do they have higher than normal % of ESL dictators? (nm)
.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
s
So what if you go OVER your normal line count?
It sounds about as shifty and unfair as an adjustable rate morgage. 'Adjustable rate' employee insurance.
'R-I-P-O-F-F.'
MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.

MQ pays 60% of transcription rate for VR.

Actually, a high turnover rate more likely means
that the GOOD MTs are staying put and the MTs who had to cheat on their test and/or lie during their interview, have no experience, or are just job hoppers tend to run off when they can't hack the accounts they have been assigned.
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line. 
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.  
A high turnover rate means all the good MTs

leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one.  That's what a high turnover rate means.  Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate?  Something's wrong if people keep leaving.


It's called logic and deductive reasoning.  And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.


Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.

"a line is a line" means gross line.
Gross line is a line, no matter how long or short.
Medquist no longer pays hourly rate for QA - that

It is MME.  You do QA for 3 cents a line.  Then when that runs out, which it does, you do Editing at 5 cents a line.  And you also get straight transcription which is 8 cents a line.


Was in the pilot program and got more Editing and straight Transcription than QA. 


No more QA department for MQ. 


When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average

You have to go to NJ to train and pick up their computer & she pays a low per-page rate. nm

Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
As long as Webmedx pays well for VR
accounts, I won't mind, but if they do like Transcend, I will have a real problem. I can't afford to make half the line rate I make transcribing doing VR. We'll see and hope for the best.
Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
Who in the heck pays you that insulting rate. As Dr. Phil says, "Are you kidding me" LOL
There is no way. I cant get over it, 2 cpl a line???? just pennies a line what an insult for your time. I dont care if you are an old MT or newbie that is ridiculous and when people accept that kind of pay it just drives down the cpl for all of us. I mean heck if they can get people to do it for 2 cpl, why pay 5 cpl so they can pay their bills. That just blows my mind. You'd be better off working an 8-hour shift at McDonalds.
Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

I know Webmedx pays $11/hour for 1 week.
I have seen in the past week other companies that pay, but I didn't pay attention to who they were.  I found the info browsing the job boards. 
Webmedx pays $11/hour for one week and then
pay 25% above line rate for 3 days to give you some time to build-up production. 
Webmedx pays for half of the testing fee...sm

if you pass, which I think is very generous. 


They also raise your line rate a quarter cpl when you become a CMT, which is not fantastic, but we all know any addition to your cpl can add up.


It's more than most companies offer.


Webmedx pays 8 hrs holiday pay (based on your LPH sm
production rate), plus whatever you transcribe for the day. Effectively, this is like double-time.
Webmedx pays very well for VR - probably the highest or close to it. nm
nm
Webmedx pays fairly well, not flexible, though.
They used to hire with a 12-hour window, but I have heard they don't do that anymore, just a straight 8 schedule. Good luck.
I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.

I hope that was of some help.
Webmedx pays weekend and shift differential. nm

The overall pay means more than cents per line
Getting really bad ESL or even really sloppy American doctors at 12 cpl is sometimes less profitable than some accounts at much less CPL. The bottom line is making a living and I've found there is not much compensation for doing the crap work in this profession anymore. The more experience, the more crap work you often end up with (and less pay for it).

Don't believe it if they say it. If it means the bottom line,
I think you need to suck it up and learn to do ESLs or you'll be left behind.


Who pays by the gross line? Anyone?
xx
AllType pays by the line
:)
8.5-9 means cents per line, not dollars per hour. nm

I caught that line also "equals out to" thought ah oh!! means what?
.
Rad pays by line and by report, depending on the account
I have had rad accounts at Keystrokes pay both ways.  I haven't heard of one that pays for reports over 2 minutes, but it all depends on the client.  Your starting rate typically depends on your experience.  Everyone at Keystrokes is super-nice, you will like working with them.  Agree with poster who said get a backup account from day 1.  Getting IDs for your account can take quite a bit of time, so be prepared to wait.  Good luck.
TransHealth pays for spaces & headers on a 65 character line. sm
I recommend them highly.  Stable company, good platform, great benefits.  I'm happy there.
Not sure if you need bennies or not, but QT hires IC and has plenty of work and pays gross line! sm
You can apply at www.qtmedical.com It's a great place to work. Pay is always on time, always correct, recognized for holidays. They pretty much leave you alone and let you work. Very, very rarely run out of work. Depending on experience, pay usually starts around 7 to 8 cpl (gross lines) :)
