Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

So what are you going to do when they keep lowering

the pay even more?  Keep working for the "good" company?  I would never work for $.075 per line.  That's what I made when I first started out.  Let them go offshore if that's all they can afford.  They get what they pay for.  Personally, I'm worth more than that.  I'm not so desperate for a job that I'll sell my soul to the devil and put my kids on welfare.


Tell me, what other industry lowers wages in exchange for doing the more difficult work after the easy stuff has been offshored or sent to VR?  Doctors are paying less for transcription, but they're raising the price of an office visit, too.  We're charged more and paid less by THEM at the same time.

OMG. That's disgusting. Especially after just lowering our pay.

Lowering IC Line Rates

As we all know, line rates for ICs continue to fall due to offshoring and other issues involved.  I can no longer quote a decent line rate or I hear the phone slam in my ear. 


Therefore, I've decided to do what I have to do to compete and get accounts, which is lower my line rate to 10.5.  Naturally, I am not going to give this large cardiology group a 65-character line for that rate.


What do you feel is fair for me and the group line character-wise for 10.5 cents line?  I was thinking of a 50-character line.  Your opinions, please.


Thank you!      


My point exactly. If lowering costs is an issue

the Valium in addition to lowering the Oxycontin as I stated
in my prior email. The Oxy is what you want to wean slowly 1/2 tab a day until the last few days do it 2 days in a row, then 1 day in a row, then every other day, then every 3rd day, then off. That is a little clearer and it does work and you won't have any side effects at all with the 2.5 mg or 5 mg of Valium once or twice a day. Then get yourself off the Valium the same way but you would not have been on it too long to just go off, but always best to wean.
Hey! For all you who blame MQ for lowering the bar in the industry, driving the cpl rate SOOOOOO low
How do you fathom that one?? The small MTSOs are charging peanuts, while MQ is charging 20 cpl.  And these companies are SMALL - I know.  So, hmmmmmm...maybe big bad MQ isn't to blame for that condition in the industry? Interesting, very interesting...sounds more like the small MTSOs have plummeted our salaries into the dirt, if this is supposed to be an example!
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
