If there is a company out there that let's you type on a blank page, I haven't found it. I
been an MT for 13 years now and worked at home for about 11 of those years and never found a company that I felt truly treated their MT's fair.
No, they can audit much farther out. Been there,
done that.
Same as oldtimer but take it much farther...
My goal is to have abbreviations for EVERYTHING I have to type in my work, and I recommend that be yours also.
The cva/cvaa thing works very well for me too. For two-word combos like inguinal hernia, I use the first three of the modifying word and first two of hernia--that's so I can do the same with dozens of different hernias.
For "the patient was taken to the operating room," it's "tpwtttorr." That's so I can abbreviate all whole sentences no matter what's in them. Sentences competing for one letter (please call/cntact me) require assigning a second letter to the competing words, cl/co).
Even more than sentences, though, I have many thousands of phrases: "the patient was taken" is "tpetk" and "to the OR" is "ttor." This last ability is especially very important with editing work to make corrections as quick and easy as possible.
And of course I don't memorize any of them, just the rules I set up for making my abbreviations, and after that motor memory takes over with continued use.
uh, we moved the fridge farther away from my office so I have to walk more now.
Seriously, I have a mini trampoline, exercise bike and a weight lifting set in the house that I use to hang clothes on. DoH! I'm starting to use them more now since I quit smoking a month ago. Gotta get back into shape. My doctor said not to rush it.

Paula,
Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
Yep, $2.00 a page and the page has about 30-40 lines on it nm
>
NJ $3 page, though I have heard as low as $1 page.
When I worked for a national, up thru 2 years ago, I was getting $1.75 page and heard they got $4.
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.
Found it, Prolastin, also found
alpha-1
It's on page 129 of the BOS II if they like to use it. nm

Page, AZ
This last summer we took a driving trip and were set to stop in Page, AZ for one night... Ended up there for an extra night because of car trouble and we loved it -- the entire Page/Lake Powell area is gorgeous and we are planning a trip back asap -- I'm jealous!!
Their web page...
www.limewire.com explains why they aren't breaking any laws - something about there is no central hub where people are downloading music (as with Napster back in the day) but simply file sharing - so therefore it is legal. But I would never pay to download music - and I don't think the Beatles are upset about lost revenues! 
per page
I actually work for a service by page and actually I do pretty well and feel almost better than a per line rate. I wonder if 60 lines is a combination of both text and blank lines?
Per page
I get paid gross line and from top to bottom of the page. My rate is lower which is what the docs like and on chart notes just take the line count for word. Kind of like your two lines on a page you get the page. One word on the line, I get the line. Also with my clinic notes, there is just one blank in between patients but I do get that line. Of course I cut apart the notes for the clinic so that kind of pays it. I also make good money and can't complain.
By page
You need to turn it around so the doctor feels he is "saving money" by being charged by the line and therefore for only the part of the page that is completed. Tell him that if you charge by 1/4 of the page anything over 10 lines would be a mininum of $1.50 - 2.00 and so he would be paying for part of the page that would not be filled up. The same applies if he were to go only 1 line past the 1/2 page mark and thus pay for the entire page. So make it seem more economical for him. Also make sure that you figure your line charge out in the font you want to type in and if he wants a smaller, convert it over to charge out. As long as they know that a gross line -- which is what I charge -- consists of how many characters in the Courier 12 font in, you are not cheating. But show him how it would be beneficial for him to do the line charge and don't go with an attitude of "my way" show him you are looking out for him. I would probably start out around 12 cpl per gross line as you will probably get a lot of standards that you can set up, etc. So if work up to 200 to 300 lines per hour that is very good pay.
Patti
Wow, we are both on the same page!
I would love to be a homemaker and be with my children, btw I dont have any yet, but that is what I would love to do!!! I agree with your comments totally on this board. Have a blessed day!
It's not there for me either. I think that and the mom page
should have a drop down in the menu thing above.
Could be anywhere from 1 page
to 5 pages. These would be reports, not chart notes.
If you will look down the page...
There is a discussion about this. Here is a link to my post, which gives a link to the chair I currently use. I highly recommend it.
Are you saying $10 per page?
I just raised my rates to .12 for gross lines, old accounts but again I make good money per hour and just cannot justify raising higher. I am happy. That is gross line per Courier 12 and 1" margins. With one account lots of consults and letters and can make $50 to $70+ per hour and so am happy. Guess that would equal 13 to 14 65 cpl so that is in the ballpark. My accounts pay on time, within 48 hours, never a bounced check, NEVER question my line counts or TAT. I pick up and deliver, do envelopes, cut apart chart notes, and make good money. Was just sick last week and did a pick up and delivery anyway and one of my docs told me to go home and rest and all others asked how I was feeling. So do what is fair for all, do not price yourself out of the account as he could think that he could do it again himself but show him how much more free time he has and it is worth the money. Oral surgeons will have lots of letters and op notes and so you can make a lot of standards and use a lot of expanders. So you have the opportunity to make good money, again I always see what my bottom line is or hourly rate and not what cpl I charge.
$1.30 per page???
I know it really depends on many factors, but I was wondering if $1.30 per page is a good rate? I haven't typed a per page rate in years and I don't remember! This would be a psych. account. This company gives a template (I get paid for the template lines). I am thinking this seems kind of low.  Any help would be appreciated.
$1.30 per page?
Oh, gosh...I almost fell over when I read this. Maybe I missed something here, but when I had my own private accounts a few years ago I was charging $5-$6 per page, which was actually low at that time. The reason was that these docs were excellent dictators (hand-picked, of course), and $ wasn't an issue.
I'd be interested in any other input.
Good luck.
$1.30 page
They should be ashamed of themselves. Don't take the job! I type speech pathology reports and charge $5.00 per page and do 200 pages a month for the last 8 years. These reports take up every inch of the paper, as they do not say
"new paragraph" very often
You can do better I'm sure!
I get $2.00 per page
Have a look at this page.
Copy and paste this link. These guys are GOOD. Looks like at least a couple of things to help.

pay per page
Does anyone know the average $ per page, not radiology but clinic notes?
By the page if the majority
of your work types are diagnostic plain films, such as chest and bone x-rays but if you have a lot of MRI's, CT's and special procedures such as catheter placement and removal, PET scans, angiograms and stent placements then by the line is more profitable.
i think its on the 2nd page of this board
i did a little different, added more
1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, lots of paprika and lots of garlic and probably 1 cup of olive oil. I had a lot of chicken to cover. I mixed it all up in a bowl to wear it was pretty thick, not runny. placed onions and garlic at the bottom of crock pot. dipped chicken in sauce and completely covered. It shouldnt run off chicken. Placed in crock pot and dumped the rest of the sauce on top of it. she said she cooked it about 6 or 7 hours i think. It smells awesome!!!!!
Our QA stay on the same page. Here's how. sm
We give feedback to our MTs on every report that comes through QA. The way our QA staff stays on the same page is to provide feedback to the MTs and we BCC to the other members of QA along with a BCC to the QA manager. We SEE what QA is telling the MTs and if we have a question, we ask amongst ourselves. We stay on the same page. That way, if an MT decides that they want to say a QA person told them something, we all know what was said.
It is a wonderful way to stay on the same page. It also is a great way to help the MTs.
We work with our MTs very closely.

Forget the affiliation with MQ or anyother company involved in offshoring "MTStars is staunchly against the offshoring of American Private Health Information".
Many companies like MQ, Cymed, Spheris etc etc. are banned on MTStars to post any jobs as well for advertising and sponsorships.
I love to visit these boards because I know I am on 100% US MTs site.

Under the question about who is quitting before Oct 1st.
it's the same main page, but when I go to look
up something and get results, it is the results page that is really different.
I am getting 1.46 per page, doing about 100-150 per day. Instatext, 1 ESL.
How many accounts will you be doing. Do you have an expander.
I am making rather good wages now that I have become familiar with format and the doctor's dialect. But, I have one account only and have a lot of each physician dictation (about eight in total) in expander, for instance, their routinely said sentences for mammograms or chest films.
per page is better with rad than per line - sm
Per line means you will work your hiney off just to make any $$. Per report is the best way to go. I was paid $1.40 per report. I averaged about $33-35/hour and worked 3 hours a day.
If I worked onsite for a radiologist I was paid $88 (EIGHTY-EIGHT) for 2 (TWO)hours onsite.
Guru - did you get the one at .50/page
I have never worked thru them but am listed. Did you see the one who had a 50 page paper they wanted typed and said they "heard the going rate was $0.50/page"? LOL
how many lines are there per page?
A friend of mine works on a per page and half page basis rate wise and I was wondering how many lines that is.
lines per page
Depends on font, character size, margins -- anywhere from 54 to 62 per page. Type a page in your usual font and count the lines -- easy to do, type numbers all the way down your left hand margin. Or do one page and use the property function in Word and it will tell you the number of lines on that page. Change the font and it will show you how many in different fonts. Easy enough to find out.
$3.00 a page. I wish $300 - sorry. Also by fake it, I
mean, just be confident when you speak to the doctors' offices - don't let on that you are unsure of yourself!! That's what I meant by "fake it"!!
Per page rates
Hi guys, I just received a call from a doctor looking for transcription services but he uses templates and also wants a per page rate. I have never charged a page rate before. Does anybody do this currently? Is there a way to calculate or a going per page rate?
Saw that too. Page has worms, lol.
On that note, I was notified of a nasty e-mail virus or worm going around. Watch out for e-mails with attachments, even if somebody you know because it gets the addresses.
go to Home Page
Someone is also using KS on this page as their initials.
:)
price per page
We may be going to a per page in paying our at home typists. However, it has been a long time since I did this. What is the current rate per page (the employer) to pay for imaging transcription??
price per page
I may have to outsource some work to ICs what is the going rate for a company to pay for radiology reports, I was told 1.75 to 2.00 does that sound right. I hate doing line counts. Any thing will help.
Thanks
Between $3-4/page if not through an MTSO
When I was working for an MTSO in Bergen County, they paid me $2.50 pp and billed the neuro's office between $3-4 pp, but it did vary base on the letterhead. Some of the clients left little room on the page for actual transcription, so I would use a lower $$ in that case. If it is office notes that will be placed in a chart, you may want to charge the higher fee.
page charge
If they want it printed in that font fine but for charging change it back to your usual font and see how many pages there are if you are charging by the page. I type in Arial 10 for several accounts or Times Roman and I always change it back to Courier 12 for my line counts. Also change the margins to represent 65 characters in the line as they want less margins for chart notes.And they are aware of that when I quote my line charge. If you agreed so much per page, tell them it was using the Courier 12 font or whatever font you usually use with your usual margins.
Good luck
Of course 3000/8hr. is possible, with 3-page
templates and fill-in-the-blanks, word expanders, and same docs over and over. Oh, and not getting the docs on a daily basis who finish a sentence, go back and correct it 5 times to the point you have no clue what he/she is trying to say. In any case, good with the bad, I still average 200 lph. Sometimes it's not how good or fast YOU are, but how good or bad they are at dictating.
Charge them $5.00 per page
and then give it to them on a CD rom for their safe keeping.
If it what happens to me it's in the page view (sm)
In the bottom left corner of the screen are four buttons. I usually keep mine set on the third one in which is Print Layout View. Hope this helps.
Opinions about per page pay--sm
I have an opportunity for a position with a company doing disability evaluations, but the pay is per page and at $1.75 to $1.90. I think this is a little low, but would like opinions from others. TIA
