Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Sounds like you might as well be FT with those #s-- at a previous job the min. for PT was 5000

lines every 2 weeks.  Granted it got to a point where there was no work so it was impossible to meet quota, but if there was work you had better meet it.....then we had a landslide of work, about 90% ESL.....all the good stuff apparently went up in smoke  (they outsourced to the Phillipines).

    5000

    see the discussion on the company board. 5000 lines a day to be transcribed by a combination of several people


    sure - that's like 400 lph ~ 5000 lines per day
    .
    5000 a month
    It is actually quite possible to do. I work for a small transcription business and one of our transcritionist averages $1900 to $2000 a week. She takes advantage of her ESP/shortcut program and makes templates for everything. So it can be done.
    Parents just had them done at $5000 an eye. nm

    Yea, and I do 5000 a day in a 6 hour day...

    5000 lines per day VR?

    Hi all.  Anyone think is it possible to edit 5000 lines per day of VR?  This is on a very low ESL account? 


    The new company I have gone with have a 5000 daily line count requirement for editing VR files. Just curious if it is possible!  I am getting nervous!!


     


    5000 lines a day?
    Is that possible? I mean 1200 I thought was full time?
    5000 lines per day???
    Obviously this guy doesn't have a clue. Most nationals want between 1000 to 1200 lines minimum 65 character line with spaces.

    Maybe he is talking about a 35 character line or better yet a 25 character line with spaces.

    Check it out, maybe it's lucrative! LOL
    2500/wk PT or 5000/wk FT
    basically breaks down to 500 day PT, 1000 day FT.
    2500/wk PT, 5000/wk FT
    that's all my company requires. Plus we get tiered incentives for anything over 1000 per day.
    I average $5000 a month
    I usually work 7 days a week. I work for a national full time and have a part time IC position. It's easy for me because I work from home anyway. Instead of lying around watching tv, I go to my computer and work.

    Last year, I increased my savings by $24,000. I religiously deposit $2000 a month into savings. If you are willing to work, you can make lots of money. I can work as much as I want to with my IC position.
    4000-5000 I can't believe I'm getting sucked into this again. SM

    This is gross pay with two different places. It is not full time. Yes, I use expanders, no, I don't do the same two doctors every day.


    Yes, I am very lucky. Yes, I am very fast. No, I am not lying, and I am sorry if you are not in as good a position as mine.


    5000 mega enough for air card?
    Is 5000 megabytes of data enough to use a wireless air card for MT work?  I only have dial up and am considering getting an air card but it says that you only get 5000 megabytes a month.  Is that enough for MT work, my husband gaming, and my kids being on the internet too?  Will I go over the 5000 megabyte limit?
    5000 lines per day on job seeker's ...
    You gotta be kidding, some say it was on before and required more than one person but why submit it as if it were a "job" offered to one? Perhaps I am "slow."
    A company spends 3-5000 to hire....
    ...and train an employee. Doesn't matter if you're part-time or full-time. Is it responsible to make them incur that cost when you know you're going to bail?

    Mmmmm, don't think so.
    I make about $5000/month before taxes (sm)
    I suppose I could work more, but...eh.  I only have to work 35 hours a week for full time.  I keep saying "this week I'll do 40," but there's more to life than work (at least I hope so). 

    $24,000 in savings!  Rock on!  I hope to be there soon.
    Amen! I do over 300 lph too. Have about 5000 abbreviations, been doing this for over 7 years,
    and just because I do about 300 lph, give or take, doesn't my work is sloppy!! And to prove it, I just got a raise, which I take to mean I am doing a GOOD job!  As you, I proof as I go. 
    thread is Who can transcribe 5000 lines/day (sm)
    and it's about halfway down the page.

    The poster used the name "See job ad by T. Olyphant!!"
    (continued)...that's exactly what he meant, 5000 line a day.

    Make sure that $5000 is in your hand before you start packing !! nm

    Why is MTStars carrying an ad "Make $5000 a month FT". Who can do this?
    The MTSOs have lowered the rate per line (by the way, what is a line now? what is a character now?) and given us just the cream of the crap to try to decipher, there's no way 1 person can produce $5000 worth of transcription in a month.  No way.
    I only have 1 dinky account on my own, ~5000 lines a month - sm
    and no tabs at all (I programmed in my "jumps" so I don't have to use tabs, just hit F11), and only 2 hard returns at most at the endd of each report. One Dr. just does "block" paragraphs and does all the patients in one "report", so each day is only a couple pages, the other does the same but with more of a report format, i.e. headers but no returns between each item; returns only between each patient. They then cut and paste into the patient's record. I am working on getting a few more doctors on my own so I can either lessen the work I do for my "regular" IC job or drop it all together; and I will, if necessary, charge for tabs and hard returns when I get more accounts though.
    I checked into Qwest, but the fine print says if you use more than 5000 min per month, it will .. sm
    be reviewed.  Their business rate is per line, and comes out to $500 monthly.  That's the problem with my current company. I figure I'll be using at least 10,000 mins per month.  Can't get Verizon here.  Any other suggestions?  TIA.
    I've seen sooo many posts about this....Listen, the 5000 lines isn't a typo.
    It's some type of project. If you search the board, you will see the posts and then maybe we won't have to keep top-posting it all over the place?
    UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach

    them how to steal our jobs?

    No you wouldn't. You wouldn't like being required to work 7 days per week, mandatory, just like a sweat shop. Of course YOU can make huge amounts of money too if you work 18 hour days.
    Of course, I should add that the previous pay was MQ and after the changes that

    I have an HP...my previous one was also
    an HP and I loved it. My main problem is getting sound to record. I have found that most of my programs work well with Vista. I did speak to HP today and they told me to uninstall sound card and reinstall but I have not tried it yet. They said if it did not work I would have to send it in :(
    not this job, but previous one did.

    Who was your previous employer? I'm more
    interested in making "insane amounts of money" than if an employer is nice to me. That's my personal preference.

    Mind telling me who your previous was?

    Thx.
    Given her previous behavior
    she would probably accuse you of molesting her if you did try to hug her.
    My previous HIM director was sm
    a true psychowitch.  One day nice as pie and would give you the world. The next day, a bug would bite her and you would spend the next two weeks on all the garbage reports, worst ESL's.  I got out. She liked me but didn't like the fact that I didn't suck up or tattle.  She hid in a meeting on my last day of work.  I went on call but got so busy with my new job that I wasn't able to come in three times when she called so she fired me. How's that for being a witch. She had one other gal on call for a year that didn't come in when she was called and as far as I know, she is still on call. Go figure.
    previous posts
    I did read all the previous posts, as you indicated. You did give a lot of information. I will let you know in a week or two what I think.

    No the previous poster, but I have one...
    I like this one. Not sure if you have it or not. The nice thing is that it covers all the states and you can do a sound a like search as well. If you don't find what you are looking for in the AMA results you can just click below the results on "View Non Members" and that will take you to another listing of physicians. I love this site.

    Previous DQS uster
    That would depend on the new program.  I went from DQS last November to MedRite XL and my count plumeted from 260 an hour to about 100 an hour the first few weeks, but keep in mind I was learning three new accounts at the time.  Right now I am at about 220 lines per hour unless I get five 10-minute ESL docs in a row.  Just a very cumbersome program.

    "Pled" is an American term. The correct word is actually "pleaded."

    Just went back to previous

    job at a doctors practice for a lunch with past co-workers and friends... after that I'm always glad that I left for transcribing at home.  Love alot the people I worked with and even my bosses but hated the rest of the crap that goes with an office, every day a new crisis, etc.  When I'm feeling down about transcribing and all the junk that can get you bogged down at home, I just need to make a visit back to the old job site and it makes me realize how lucky I am... not that there aren't things that could be better in the MT at home world, but it sure beats what I would have still been doing if I didn't make the move home.  Just wish I could bring a few of my friends with me, but I was the only Transcriptionist in that bunch.   Just trying to keep smiling!


    One of the ones in the previous post.
    There in no guarantee with any of the options that you will have service everywhere you go.   If you travel mostly in major cities an air card might be an option.  The monthly fee is usually $60+ and I don't know if you have to sign a contract.   If you have to be connected to the internet all the time now to work (can't download work and then get off-line) then working in the car isn't going to be an option. 
    Per this and your previous posts, you have no

    Did you READ the previous message
    I was being sarcastic about being called a "typist". After all, isn't patient care enhanced by ACCURATE and COMPLETE medical records? I would like to think I contribute, albeit modestly, to a patient's care. Don't you ever ask to see your records and check them for accuracy? Couldn't an omission or error result in a problem down the line? It HAS happened!

    curious - to you and previous poster
    Is there any particular reason why you would not want to use the computer they supply for their work and would rather use your own?  I am contemplating a similar job change, and thought I would use the computer the company supplies and keep my own for my personal use.  Less wear and tear on mine.  - no?
    Accesss previous reports
    Sounds like your user settings are set up so that you are not allowed to remotely review your previous reports.  I'd suggestyou speak with your account manager to see if this could be enabled for you, or if there is another reason.
    Is there a way for me to go back and see what actions from the previous
    week went for?   I have something identical to an auction and I had been watching it, although had not marked it, and it ended today and I want to go back and see what the final bid was and then also would like to go back a week or so and see if there were similar items auctioned and the final bids. 
    I didn't get any of what you said from the previous post
    I think the poster was just saying that nationals do those things mentioned.  Nowhere was it said in her post that nationals are crooks.  Those are your words and you're trying to put them in her post because she she contradicted your theory. 
    Still INFJ. We had to take these at a few of my previous employers.
    I actually got denied promotion for being an INFJ. Go figure. Then another supervisor told me I was the exact type of employee they were trying to avoid because INFJs are two-faced backstabbers. I've never been like that. If I have a problem with someone, I'll measure the severity of the situation then tell them to their face. Nothing two-faced there. I don't think those personality tests are an accurate projection of a person's future actions or successes. They shouldn't be used in employment or managerial decisions.
